In a rented room in City X, a man with black glasses, messy hair, and a thin and slightly tired face was focused on the computer screen in front of him.
If a veteran gamer was present, they would realize that the computer was displaying the game The Elder Scrolls 5: In the picture of the Horizon, a man in a commoner's outfit was displaying strength that was completely inconsistent with his attire.
Raging flames raged across half of the screen. At the same time, a huge circle of light surrounded the man, protecting him. Within the raging flames were armored soldiers who were entangled in flames, struggling and wailing. There were also some mages who were casting magic barriers to resist the damage of the flames. In addition, not far away, elemental summoned creatures were attacking the man. Fire slaves, frost giants, storm slaves...
However, it was as if he had activated his invincibility. All the attacks could not cause any damage to the besieged man. Even the lightning released by the few Great Wizards could not shake the man at all.
The city guards with strong bodies, armor, and extraordinary combat skills were roasted by the flames and were gradually on the verge of death. The mages were casting spells outside and summoning elemental slaves, but they could not cause any damage to the enemy. Some necromancers summoned their undead army to try to outnumber them. However, they were all repelled by the man's Ring of Protection. Then, they were casually destroyed by the man's Undying Destruction, turning into ashes.
"Haha, cool." At this moment, the man in front of the computer seemed to have entered a game character. He felt the domineering aura of a king who was invincible despite being the enemy of the world. He was extremely happy and immediately laughed loudly.
The man's name was Lin Yue. He had just graduated from university and was working in a medium-sized company. He worked from nine to five every day. The only fun in his life was to play all kinds of large-scale single-player games on his well-equipped computer in his rented room after work. He had played Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Sin City, Murder Prototype, Assassin's Creed, and so on. He had two requirements for single-player games. One was that the game scene had to be large enough, which meant that the world had to be large. The second was that the game had a high degree of freedom, which meant that the characters could do whatever they wanted in the game. Recently, Lin Yue had started playing the Ancient Scrolls series. He had been playing it until the current game, The Ancient Scrolls 5. This game met Lin Yue's requirements in terms of the world background and the degree of freedom in the game. Another important reason why he was still not tired of playing it after nearly two months was that the game came with a cheat. In other words, the game had a hidden console. Through the console, he could enter the corresponding code. It could give the character a cheat-like attribute. It could be said to be a built-in cheat.
That's right, Lin Yue was a cheat player. When Chen Yuefeng played a game, especially a large single-player game like this, he would definitely look for a cheat in the game. From Call of Duty to the current Ancient Scrolls, it was the same. Simply put, Lin Yue was a cheat in the game.
When Lin Yue was in university, his roommates and classmates who were familiar with his gaming style all looked at him with disdain. However, Lin Yue still did his own thing. Due to his frequent use of cheats, Lin Yue often caused data chaos and even game crashes when he played games. As a result, the computer suffered as well. In order to make his path of cheats smoother, Lin Yue began to learn computer repair and software programming. Unknowingly, he became a computer expert.
Lin Yue's current cheat in The Elder Scrolls 5 was based on the console that came with the game. In addition, he had created his own plug-in. This plug-in not only arranged all kinds of large-scale spells that Lin Yue needed in an orderly manner, but also used the pre-set function keys to cast spells with one click of the keyboard. It was much faster than the original traditional spell selection and spell mouse button casting.
Due to his limited skills and the reduction of complexity, Lin Yue had set up most of the more powerful spells in the plug-in, as well as some small spells that seemed more practical and had good effects. The spells set up in the entire plug-in were:
[Summoning Element: Soul Imprisonment, Binding Bow, Fire Spirit Servant, Storm Giant]
[Illusion: Invisibility, Fear, Confusion, Hysteria]
[Destruction Element: Lightning, Lightning Storm, Fireball, Fire Wall]
[Modifications: Light Spell, Life Detection Spell, Teleportation Spell, Immobilization Spell]
[Defense: Healing, Healing, Hand of Healing, Powerful Barrier, Guardian Barrier, Undying Destruction]
[Special Skills: Lockpicking (Novice, Veteran, Pro, Locksmith, Master, Universal Lockpicking), Stealth, One-handed Weapon Damage Enhancement (20%-100%)]
As for the status bonuses, Lin Yue directly ignored them. For Lin Yue, who had activated God's Invincible Mode as soon as he entered the game, with unlimited blue, unlimited health, and almost invincible, all the bonuses were meaningless. He only needed to cast spells without thinking.
With the help of the powerful Summoning and Destruction spells, Lin Yue started a massacre in the game world of The Elder Scrolls 5. He basically killed wherever he went. Wherever he went, he was either drowned in flames or ravaged by lightning. Except for some unkillable NPCs, no one was spared. It was also in these massacres that Lin Yue's growth in the Destruction Element gradually reached the maximum level.
Finally, after slaughtering a castle, Lin Yue opened the map that had been fully unlocked through the cheat and was ready to jump to another place.
"A game is a game after all. It would be great if you could use cheats in reality.”Lin Yue sighed as he entered the waiting interface. He picked up the glass of water on his seat and was about to take a sip, but he accidentally knocked it over. The water in the glass spilled out instantly. The water slid across the edge of the table and landed on the main computer box. It dripped directly through the air intake above the main computer box and onto the main circuit and graphics card of the main computer box. There was a sizzling sound, and electricity flashed. Then, the main computer box fell silent.
"My computer!" Lin Yue only felt his heart stop for a moment, and a strong sense of sadness came over him. However, Lin Yue did not notice that the computer monitor did not turn off. The screen was still in the waiting screen of the Ancient Scroll. Then, Lin Yue's consciousness blacked out and he fell on the table, no longer breathing. The screen was also distorted, and soon, the screen turned black.
…………
The Yulan Empire. The small town of Moore, located outside the outskirts of Shulton City. This ordinary little town had begun a new day just as the sun rose. The shops on the main street of the town, Moore Street, began to open for business.
"Ezr, here we go again. The lock can't be opened again?”In a shop with all kinds of locks and metal keys, a five or six-year-old child in blue clothes smiled and said to a handsome young man with an anxious expression.
"Quick, look at this box." The handsome young man took out an exquisite brocade box and placed it in front of the child.
"Did you steal this from your mother?”The child looked at the workmanship of the box and asked suspiciously.
"It's none of your business how you got it. Michelle, as long as you open this box, I'll give you a silver coin as a reward.”The handsome young man immediately used a large sum of money to tempt her.
For such a remote town, one silver coin was enough for an ordinary person to live for a week.
"Two silver coins!" The child called Michelle said without hesitation.
"This is extortion." The handsome young man said in exasperation.
"Then you can find another one." The child looked indifferent.
"You, you. Alright. Now, right now, open the box.”The handsome young man gritted his teeth.
"Pay first. You know the rules.”The child did not make a move but reminded him.
"Humph!" The handsome young man snorted coldly, but he still took out two silver coins and threw them on the stage.
"Wait a moment." Before the two silver coins could land on the stage, they were taken away by the child's afterimage. The next moment, two thin iron wires appeared in the keyhole of the brocade box." Done." As soon as he finished speaking, the box was opened with a light bang.
"Pa!"
" Your mission is complete." Before the box could be fully opened, the handsome young man directly pressed the box back with his palm. At the same time, he quickly put away the box and said coldly to the child before leaving.
"Something is strange." The child stroked his beardless chin and muttered to the handsome young man who was leaving. The moment he opened the box, he saw that the item inside was not gold or silver jewelry, nor was it any expensive item. It was a stone, a pitch-black, ordinary stone.
"Forget it. Curiosity killed the cat.”Then, the child brought a recliner from the house and lay on it alone. He narrowed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Closing her eyes, a huge tree structure appeared in Michelle's sea of consciousness. There were a few symbols of different shapes on it. The colors were dark, as if there were no lit icons. If anyone had played the Ancient Scrolls before, they would realize that these symbols represented the various spells in the game, such as Summoning, Illusion, Destruction, Transformation, Defense, and Special Skills.
Below the various elemental patterns, there were branches of spells of various elements. There were not many of these spells, and there were only four spells under the Destruction branch, which were Lightning, Lightning Storm, Fireball, and Fire Wall. There were also a few spells of the other elements. This template was almost identical to the plug-in that Lin Yue had made himself.
That's right, this child was the Lin Yue of this life, but now he was called Michelle, a six-year-old child who only had a mother but did not know who his father was.
The spell system pattern in his mind had appeared three years ago. It must have been his cheat that had followed him through time. Now, it had become his cheat. It was also because of this cheat that he had become a well-known lockpicking expert in the town. He was a veritable child prodigy. In the entire town, there was almost no lock or door that he could not open.
All the icons in Lin Yue's mind were gray except for the special skill column. Under the special skill column, there was a small key icon that represented unlocking. It was shining like a star in the dark. Although it was not dazzling, it was enough to be eye-catching.
[Lockpicking level: Locksmith] (Mortal locks are useless in your eyes. You are qualified to advance towards the mysterious power.）
In addition, not far away from the lock-picking pattern, a snake-shaped pattern was also shining. However, compared to the lock-picking pattern, it was much inferior. This was the icon representing Stealth.
The two skills of this special skill, Lockpicking and Stealth, were lit up when the spell template appeared, and the way to improve was to unlock it again and again in reality. For this reason, Lin Yue joined a lock shop as an apprentice when he was four years old. In two years, he unlocked nearly 3,000 locks and became a well-known lockpicking expert. After the owner of the lock shop opened a branch, he handed the small shop to Michelle to manage.
Lin Yue only had one daily task, which was to help people unlock and equip locks. His powerful unlocking ability allowed him to know which lock structure was safer. Therefore, on the other hand, he was an expert in making locks. However, he basically did not do it himself. He usually drew the blueprint and handed it to the boss. He only needed to collect half of the profits.
"How can I light up this spell-type skill?”Lin Yue paid attention to the cheat template in his mind and felt conflicted.
It had been three years since he had activated his Goldfinger. However, he had yet to activate any practical skills. As for lockpicking, it came with it. It just made his life a little better.
"Forget it, let nature take its course." Lin Yue sighed in his heart.
At noon, Lin Yue closed the door early and returned home.
In a small wooden house that only occupied an area of about ten square meters, a thin and slightly pale woman was sitting at the table and doing needlework. Her eyes were surprisingly bright, and her brown hair was casually scattered. She was dressed in a gray cloth, and she had an indescribable temperament. Lin Yue had only seen this kind of temperament on the nobles who came to him to unlock. In short, she had the aura of a noble and was quite beautiful. This person was Lin Yue's mother.
"Mother, I'm back." Lin Yue stepped into the house and greeted his mother.
"Why are you so early today?" Milia said with concern, her face always smiling with a charming and gentle smile.
"Yes, there are fewer guests today, so I came back.”Lin Yue did not explain further.
"Let's eat. The food has already been heated up in the pot.”Milia said.
"Yes." Lin Yue nodded.
"Oh right, Sister Fulin from the church came today.”Milia suddenly said.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Lin Yue frowned. Lin Yue had a natural aversion to religious things. In his previous life, he had never believed in such things.
" It's about what happened last time. She wants you to think about it carefully. She thinks that you're a person blessed by the light. It's a pity that you don't join the Church.”Milia said calmly with a smile on her face.
"This is the Yulan Empire. Even if it's faith, it's faith in the High Priest of the Yulan Empire. The Radiant Church is a bit lacking.”Lin Yue sneered.
"It's fine if you don't want to go, but Michelle, you're already six years old.”Milia suddenly said in melancholy.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Lin Yue asked.
"Next month, there will be a magic academy recruitment test in Shulton City. At that time, some magic academies will come here to recruit students. Do you want to go?" Milia said calmly. Lin Yue could not hear anything from her tone.
"Then, Mother, do you want me to go?" Lin Yue asked.
"You decide for yourself. This is your path.”Milia glanced at Lin Yue and said.
"I want to try." Lin Yue finally said.
"Then go. You can go with Uncle Bostan next door. His daughter is also planning to take the magic test this year.”Milia said.
"Yes." Lin Yue nodded. Then, he went to the kitchen to eat.
"Child, I hope that you can live an ordinary life, but this path is still yours.”Milia said softly, looking at Lin Yue entering the kitchen with a gentle gaze.
A month later.
"Mother, I'm leaving." Lin Yue said goodbye to Milia.
"Milia, don't worry. I'll take good care of him. We've been neighbors for many years, and I've watched him grow up. I've long treated him as my son.”A burly man said to Milia.
Lin Yue naturally had a good impression of this uncle who had always cared for him and his mother. At the same time, he knew that this uncle had long been in love with his mother. His wife had died of a serious illness in her early years, leaving only a daughter to rely on with him. After so many years, he still did not marry. Until five years ago, Lin Yue and his mother moved here to be neighbors with them. At that time, Ilya took care of Lin Yue, who was still a baby. It was all thanks to this man's help. After so many years, the relationship between the two families had long been extraordinary.
Not to mention Bostan, there were only a few single men who did not have feelings for Milia in the surrounding residents. Although Milia was not considered to be extremely beautiful, the aristocratic aura on her made her look even more beautiful. It was something that ordinary women could not compare to. Even those men who had long been married coveted her. However, with Bostan's protection, they did not dare to be presumptuous.
Bostan was a mercenary with the strength of a Level-5 Warrior. In a place like Moore Town, he could be considered a figure. There was once a local noble who wanted to recruit him as a guard, but he rejected it.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Milia smiled gently.
"No trouble, no trouble." Bostan saw Milia's smile and was stunned.
"Father, hurry up and leave." Her daughter couldn't stand it anymore.
It was a cute girl in a one-piece dress. She was Bostan's daughter, Ada. She was eight years old, two years older than Lin Yue. Because her father often went out to do missions, Ada spent most of her time at Lin Yue's house and kept Lin Yue company. Ada often bullied Lin Yue as the older sister. In the early stages, she could easily suppress Lin Yue with her age advantage and physical strength. However, as she grew older, Lin Yue's strength had already surpassed Ada's, and he had gotten rid of Ada's oppression.
Ada was well aware that her father loved Lin Yue's mother. As for Milia, who had an extraordinary temperament and a gentle and kind personality, Ada liked her very much. She also hoped that Milia could be her stepmother. Of course, another important reason was that once the two families were married, Ada would be Lin Yue's real sister, and she would be able to use her power against her brother.
"Let's go." Bostan called out to Lin Yue, and the three of them set off.
……
"As expected of a city. Whether it's the scale of the buildings or the economic environment, it's much better than a small town.”Lin Yue followed Bostan on the wide street, looking at the shops on both sides and sighing. Along the way, Lin Yue had encountered five or six black-robed mages, not to mention Warriors. This was almost impossible in Moore Town, but here, Mages and Warriors were often seen.
The Yulan Empire was a place that produced a large number of mages. Even in these small cities, there were quite a few mages. At the same time, because mages were important members of mercenary groups, they attracted quite a few warriors to the Yulan Empire in search of companions.
"The magic test will be held at the city lord's mansion. It's getting late, so let's find a hotel to rest first and go tomorrow.”Bostan made the arrangements.
Thus, the three of them found a cheap hotel and stayed there.
"Let's hope that everything goes smoothly. If possible, I want to participate in the storms of the Yulan continent and see the vaster world.”Late at night, Lin Yue lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The next day, at dawn, Bostan woke Ada and Lin Yue up early. After a quick breakfast, he took the two of them straight to the City Lord's Mansion.
In other big cities, there would be some places that specialized in magic testing. Some central cities even had two or three testing points. However, in a relatively remote place like Shulton City, there was no such treatment. However, this was the Yulan Empire after all, and the city lord of Shulton City was quite a business minded person. He directly set up a magic testing center in his own residence. This way, not only would he be able to comply with the Yulan Empire's magus recruitment policy, but he would also be able to reap some benefits from the magic testing. More importantly, he would be able to establish a connection with the various magic academies through the magic testing. This was killing two birds with one stone.
"The test fee is 10 gold coins. Michelle, Ada, take it well. Also, this is your identification. Remember to bring it with you.”Bostan said.
"Yes." Lin Yue took it and set off first.
"Michelle, wait for me." Ada's angry voice came from behind.
"There don't seem to be many people." Lin Yue said to Ada as he observed the whole team.
"Of course, although everyone can participate in this magic test, the cost of this test is not something that everyone can afford.”Ada said with a smug look on her face, as if she had a sense of superiority.
"Yes." Lin Yue didn't mind and nodded lightly.
Lin Yue counted the number of people in front of him. There were only thirty-three people. As time passed, more than ten people came to line up behind him and Ada.
The speed of the test was unexpectedly fast. By the time 20 people joined Lin Yue, there were only 10 people in front of Lin Yue. They could already see the test clearly on the open space inside the gate.
On the empty ground, three adult Magicians in magic robes were conducting the test. Two of them were in charge of the test, and one was in charge of recording. The tools used for the test were very simple. One was a crystal ball placed on the table, and the other was a complicated hexagonal magic array placed not far from the table.
"Next."
A white-haired old man pointed at the crystal ball on the table.""Put your hand on the crystal ball and test your elemental affinity first.”
The subject of the test was a boy about ten years old. His face was slightly ruddy. Judging from his luxurious clothes, he should be a rich kid. The boy nervously placed his right hand on the crystal ball. Immediately, the entire crystal ball emitted a misty pale yellow light. In addition, there were traces of blue and green mixed within.
The white-haired old man looked at the paper in his hand and said coldly,"Age: 11 years old, elemental affinity: medium earth element, low water and wind element.”
"Now, enter the magic array to test your spiritual power. Remember, if you can persist, then persist. Stand straight, don't kneel.”The old man said coldly with an expressionless face.
Hearing this, the young man nodded and walked into the hexagonal magic array. Then, the old man's body emitted a holy light, and a white light fused into the magic array.
Light Element Spell--Intimidation!
"Bang!" In less than a moment, the youth could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
"Your spiritual power is twice that of your peers. You don't have the qualifications to become a mage.”The old man announced coldly. He frowned slightly. It was simply embarrassing to participate in the test with such low Spiritual Power.
The magic array stopped working, and the young man walked out of it, trembling slightly. His face was no longer red, and the light in his eyes was dim, obviously he had suffered a lot.
"Next!" The old man announced.
A young man was tested, and soon it would be Lin Yue's turn. Among the first ten people, except for the previous one, none of the remaining nine people passed the test. This made Lin Yue's heart turn cold.
"It's your turn." The old man's cold voice reached Chen Yue Feng's ears.
"Do you know what to do?" the old man said impatiently.
"Yes." Lin Yue calmed himself down and put his hand on the crystal ball.
Instantly-
The crystal ball was like a 200-Watt electric lamp that was lit up, emitting a dazzling light. White and purple complemented each other and became the dominant colors in the light, while red and blue were a little dimmer, mixing together like smoke.
" This, this…" The old man's expression changed. His dry hands trembled as he looked at the paper in his palm. It was written clearly on it: Michelle, six years old.
"Six years old, elemental affinity, lightning attribute, light attribute, superior! Fire element, high grade water element!" The old man felt that his heart rate had reached a zero boundary point, and he might explode at any time. Generally speaking, a mage's elemental affinity was average, while advanced elemental affinity was relatively rare. As for supreme elemental affinity, it was even rarer. Not only did the person before him have two supreme elemental affinity, but he also had two advanced elemental affinity. It could be said that he was far superior to others on the path of magic. They were basically not on the same level.
"Genius!"
"Is there such a genius in my Shurton City?”
The surrounding people were still clamoring. Some of the young people who had not taken the test looked at Lin Yue with envy and jealousy. Even Ada, who was following closely behind him, had a look of disbelief on her face.
"Oh? What a surprise. I didn't expect that there would be such a genius in my territory.”Not far away, a middle-aged man who was sitting in front of a table with his legs crossed and lazily watching the test suddenly sat up straight and said with a surprised expression.
"Next, test your spiritual power. Remember, if you can hold on, hold on as long as you can.”The old man's attitude suddenly changed as he spoke to Lin Yue gently.
With such talent, once his spiritual power reached the standard, his future achievements would be unimaginable. The old man's attitude was naturally different.
"Please come into the magic array." A middle-aged man in charge of recording said to Lin Yue with a kind expression.
Lin Yue stepped into the magic array. Soon, a warm white light lit up, and then a pressure directly acted on his soul.
Light Magic-Intimidation.
Although he was mentally prepared, Lin Yue still felt a strong pressure on his mind, but he gradually adapted to it.
The white light became brighter and brighter, and Lin Yue began to feel uncomfortable. However, this was not enough to make him fall. More importantly, he realized that as the magic deterrence strengthened, the spell templates in his mind began to light up one by one.
The two icons of the Destruction Element and the Defense Element gradually glowed under the pressure of the deterrence. Finally, when the white light in the magic array almost materialized, the two icons officially lit up. Like the moon in the night sky, they hung above the tree-shaped template. Under the icons, the two patterns also began to emit a faint light. They were the Destruction-type Lightning and Fireball spells, as well as the Defense-type Healing and Healing Hands.
"Bang!" A strong sense of weakness made it difficult for Lin Yue to hold on, and he knelt down on one knee.
The magic array immediately stopped operating, and the white light disappeared.
The old man's expression was already abnormal. His entire face seemed to be filled with a large amount of blood, almost red. Even his eyes were wide open. His voice was trembling as he said loudly,"Spiritual power, 108 times that of your peers, super!”
"The Yulan Empire's Magic Academy welcomes you. Michelle!" Before the old man could finish his sentence, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe with an extraordinary temperament walked over first. He did not give the other magic academies a chance to take the lead. What he said even destroyed their idea of recruiting Lin Yue.
The Yulan Empire's Magic Academy! What was that? It was the second magus academy in the entire Yulan continent, second only to the Ernst Institute of the Holy Union. It was the holy land in the hearts of all the magi of the Yulan Empire. The Yulan Empire's magic academy was different from Ernst's. Although it was ranked lower than Ernst, in terms of overall strength, it surpassed Ernst. According to records, the Yulan Empire's magic academy had produced more than ten Grand Magus Saints, but Ernst was inferior to the Yulan Empire's magic academy in this aspect.
At this moment, the middle-aged man, who was a recruitment member of the Imperial Magic Academy, stared at Lin Yue, who did not speak. He was afraid that Lin Yue would shake his head. At this moment, he still could not calm down the excitement and shock in his heart. Lin Yue's affinity with all four Elements was Advanced, and two of them were even Superior. If that was the case, it would be fine. Lin Yue's spiritual power made him have the urge to immediately take him away and send him directly to the Imperial Magic Academy. His spiritual power was 108 times that of his peers!
What kind of concept was this? If it wasn't for the fact that the highest level of spiritual power was super, Lin Yue's spiritual power would be able to be classified as super super.
Generally speaking, a mage's threshold was eight times the spiritual power of his peers. A grade-1 mage's spiritual power was eight to sixteen times that of his peers, a grade-2 mage's was sixteen to forty-eight times, a grade-3 mage's was forty-eight to eighty times, a grade-4 mage's was eighty to one hundred twelve times, a grade-5 mage's was one hundred twelve to one hundred forty-four times, and a grade-6 mage's was one hundred forty-four to one hundred seventy-six times. As for grade-7, the requirement for spiritual power was ten times that of a grade-6 mage. In other words, the spiritual power of a grade-7 mage would be 1,440 to 1,760 times. This was a qualitative leap. That was why there were so few magi of the seventh rank. Countless magi had been stuck at the sixth rank for decades or centuries, but had never been able to advance to the seventh rank. The requirements for mental strength were too perverse. As for the eighth and ninth ranks after the seventh rank, although they were not as terrifying as the tenfold difference, they were still extraordinary. It was said that the mental strength of a mage at the peak of the ninth rank would reach ten thousand times. As for the Sanctuary-realm, few people knew the exact details. However, from the requirements of advancing from the sixth rank to the seventh rank, the mental strength required to advance from the ninth rank to the Sanctuary-realm would reach an extremely terrifying height.
The higher a mage's cultivation was, the harder it was to advance. After reaching the sixth rank, it was even more difficult. This was also the reason why there were more mages of the sixth rank and below, and fewer mages of the seventh rank and above. After all, the requirement for spiritual power below the seventh rank was not too harsh, but after the seventh rank, it could only be described as abnormal.
Lin Yue's spiritual energy was 108 times that of his peers. In comparison, Lin Yue's spiritual energy had already reached the level of a magus of the fourth rank, and he was not far from becoming a magus of the fifth rank. It could be said that as long as Lin Yue's magic power reached the fourth rank and he mastered a spell of the fourth rank, he would be a magus of the fourth rank. A magus of the fourth rank at the age of six was something that was rarely seen in the history of the Yulan continent.
"We have to take him down!" This was the only thought in the middle-aged man's mind. However, after sizing up the students from the magic academies around him, the middle-aged man relaxed quite a bit. None of the students present could be compared to the students from the Yulan Empire's magic academy.
Just as the middle-aged man was about to win, a voice sounded.
"On behalf of the Ernst Institute, I invite Lin Yue to join us.”The gentle voice had a hint of holiness to it, like spring rain that made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
"What?!" The middle-aged man looked behind him in disbelief. He saw a beautiful woman wearing a white robe with golden patterns on the edges walking over.
"Sister Fulin?" Lin Yue looked at the newcomer in surprise.
This woman was none other than Sister Flynn, who had been persuading Lin Yue to join the church recently. Furthermore, Sister Flynn had always appeared in the slums, saving lives and healing the wounded, so she had quite a high status in the hearts of the townspeople of Moore. However, they didn't expect her to appear in Shulton City and represent Entus.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Lin Yue understood. The power behind the Ernst Institute was the Radiant Church. Whether Lin Yue joined the Ernst Institute or the Church, he was still under the influence of the Radiant Church.
"I've already sent a message to the Ernst Institute regarding this matter. The Ernst Institute has already approved it. As long as you agree, the gates of the Ernst Institute will open for you at any time.”Sister Flynn took out a red envelope.
"Isn't your Ernst Institute's hand stretching too far? This is the Yulan Empire.”The middle-aged man from the Yulan Empire's magic academy began to speak, his voice filled with provocation.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was extremely furious. This matter had originally been within his grasp, but now, the Ernst Institute had suddenly appeared. He knew very well what the Ernst Institute represented. Putting everything else aside, it had already surpassed the Yulan Empire in terms of rankings. What ordinary people looked at was naturally the rankings. Thus, in terms of innate talent, the Yulan Empire was inferior to the Ernst Institute.
"I wonder if the Yulan Empire's Magic Academy will completely exempt its students from tuition and accommodation fees?”Lin Yue ignored Fulin and asked the middle-aged man.
"Of course! If you perform well, the academy will reward you with a generous sum of money. Although the Ernst Institute would also exempt the students from tuition and accommodation fees, this was only for the members of the Holy Union.”The middle-aged man looked sideways and provoked.
"Little friend Michelle, you have to know that the Ernst Institute is the number one magus institute in the Yulan continent. A genius like you naturally has to study at the best academy so that your talent will not be wasted.”Sister Fulin said gently.
"However, Sister Fuleen, I'm sure you know my family background. Furthermore, the Ernst Institute is located in the Holy Union. The distance from here to the Holy Union is more than ten thousand kilometers. Not only is the tuition fee expensive, but the distance is also far.”Lin Yue said.
"That's true. In addition, the Yulan Empire's Magic Academy is also a gathering place for geniuses. Think about it, how many Grand Magus Saints have come out of the Yulan Empire's Magic Academy, and how many have come out of the Ernst Institute?”The middle-aged man laughed.
" Sir, may I know your name…" Lin Yue asked the middle-aged man.
"There's no need to call me lord. My name is Devitt Dylan, a magus of the sixth rank. We'll be companions in the future." Devitt did not dare to be arrogant at all. Although he was already a grade-6 mage, Lin Yue, with his mental strength that was 108 times that of his peers and his extremely high affinity with the elements, could be said to be a grade-4 mage from birth. He was not even willing to be a grade-5 mage. In another two or three years, he might even advance to grade-6 and sit on the same level as Devitt.
"Michelle, it seems like you've made your decision.”Fulin said with an ugly expression. She took out the red envelope and didn't know whether to accept it or not.
"That's right. Mr. Devitt, I am honored to be a member of the Imperial Magic Academy.”Lin Yue said politely.
"Alright, I'll do it. Alright. This is the proof of the academy. You only need to arrive at the Imperial Magic Academy before March 1st.”Unlike Entus 'red envelope, the Yulan Empire's magic academy's envelope was blue.
"Wait!" Just as Lin Yue was about to receive the blue envelope, a loud voice resounded through the City Lord's Mansion. A middle-aged man in green walked in, carrying a long sword on his back.
"Heavenly Sword Saint, Dillon!" Sister Fulin said, her face full of surprise. Devitt was equally surprised.
