The sunlight poured down on the lawn, but he could not feel the heat at all.
However, the gazes of the onlookers seemed to be so hot that it could melt people.
Lorne stood at the point where his gaze was the most focused. He was not moved at all. He only looked curiously at the crystal ball in the white-bearded old man's hand.
"Is this the magic crystal ball?"
"It is said that it can assist in casting spells, and can even record images and summon the undead.”
"Good boy, this is good stuff!”
Colin did not care about Lorne's curiosity.
"Child, put your hand up."
Lorne did as he was told and raised his hand to put it on.
He only felt that it was icy cold, but also as heavy as the earth.
"Calm your heart, focus your mind, and feel the energy between heaven and earth. They are like lively fairies that surround you. Do you see that? Try to absorb the fairies into your body.”
As he spoke, Colin silently chanted an auxiliary spell.
Lorne tried to absorb it, but after three minutes, the crystal ball only condensed a trace of earthen yellow.
"Open your eyes!"
A kind voice sounded in his ear. When he opened his eyes, Lorne saw a disappointed gaze.
Looking around, there was disappointment, mockery, ridicule, and even disdain.
"Earth element affinity is 7, less than 30, does not have the talent to become a mage.”
A mage's talent was assessed according to two criteria: elemental affinity and spiritual power.
The latter could be improved through meditation and training, so the natural affinity for elements was more convincing.
100 was the maximum value, 90 and above was the super grade, 80 to 90 was the high grade, 50 and above was the medium grade, and 30 and above was the low grade.
If they were not even thirty, they were basically no different from ordinary people.
Colin sighed. This was only under the circumstances where he had gathered the four elements nearby. This child had only felt this little.
Thinking about it, his spiritual power shouldn't be that high!
Count Leymann gritted his teeth and walked forward."Respected Lord Collin, since a mage's talent is not good, why don't you test Lorne's battle aura bloodline?" Perhaps he was more suited to walk the path of a martial artist.”
However, in the face of this request, Colin smiled and shook his head.
"How old is Lorne this year?"
"Fifteen. The coming-of-age ceremony will be held in six months.”
"He's already fifteen, but he hasn't shown any signs of talent in Dou Qi. He hasn't advanced to the third rank and reached the stage where he can release Dou Qi. One could imagine his martial artist talent.”
After that, Colin didn't say anything else.
The people around Count Lehmann began to comfort him instead.
"Vergil is so excellent, you've taught him well!”
"Yes, yes. There's also Lilia, the future Valkyrie. Vergil might become a grand mage or even a magister. The glory of the Bauhinia will once again bloom in the Pouant Empire!”
" Leymann Brothers, I have a son. He's only eleven this year, and Lilia."
Surrounded by others, Count Lehmann seemed to have forgotten the fact that his second son had no talent and was mediocre.
Perhaps he had already accepted it, but the fatherly love itself made him struggle for a while.
Lorne could not help but sigh when he saw all of this.
He was neither disappointed nor happy.
However, being a clown in public was not very comfortable.
"Father, I'm going back to study."
"Yes, yes, go!"
After Lorne walked far away, Count Lehmann suddenly said loudly,"Lorne, be more serious. I want to test you on your homework tonight!”
Lorne stopped in his tracks, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Why did he have to do this?
.......
As Reyman Crane, who had grown up among the nobles, he was used to seeing children who were not valued in the circle of nobles being bullied by others.
Lorne, who had no talent, was obviously likely to fall into that kind of existence.
He was a good father who valued family ties very much, which was why he said those strict words at the luncheon.
This meant that he had not given up on Lorne!
He still valued this ordinary second son. The others should not think of bullying him!
It was even late at night when Lorne, who had just walked out of the study and was about to wash up and sleep, saw Count Lehmann, who had returned from the banquet, reeking of alcohol.
Pushing away the maid's hot towel, Count Lehmann waved at Lorne.
"I drank a little too much today, so I can't test you on your homework, but don't relax!”
"I know, Father."
Count Lehmann groped around in his arms sleepily and suddenly took out a familiar crystal ball.
"Your big brother was taken away by Magic Teacher Collin. He might not return for the next few years. Before he left, Colin gave this to me. For you!”
Lorne was stunned for a moment and took the crystal ball.
"Why are you giving it to me?"
Count Lehmann laughed." This is a souvenir for you. You must remember the way those people looked at you today. You have to believe in yourself. Even if you don't practice magic or battle energy, you're definitely not a good-for-nothing!”
Lorne Cland held the magic crystal ball from the legendary mage in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he said to the maid,"Susan, send Father to rest!"”
......
Lorne could roughly understand what Count Lehmann said.
Count Lehmann was born in the most destitute era of the Bauhinia family. His title had fallen from a duke to a viscount. If he dropped any further, he would become the lowest Baron.
Count Lehmann, who had no talent, relied on politics to gain the emperor's trust. After a lifetime of hard work, he finally promoted his family's title back to count.
In this process, he had experienced countless dangers. Even his wife had been assassinated.
But even so, he succeeded!
This was the limit of what a person without talent could do.
If the father could do it, then the son would definitely be able to do it too!
Lorne lay on the bed, smiling as he stroked the crystal ball.
With his experience before he transmigrated, as well as the limitations of this era, as long as he was familiar with the environment, if he wanted to enter politics, he would definitely have a high position!
If he wanted to do business, he would definitely be as rich as a country!
Unfortunately, this was an extraordinary world. He wanted to touch the mysterious side more!
At this moment, a soft mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Magic tool detected. Divine level check-in system is being activated!”
"The system has been activated, binding!”
"Binding successful. The host has obtained one chance to sign in every day. Midnight is about to pass. Do you want to sign in?”
"System announcement, midnight has passed. The sign-in opportunity has been reset and cannot be stored. The rewards for signing in depended on the location and the rarity of the item.”
Lorne was stunned.
He looked down at the clock. There was only one minute left until midnight.
"Sign in!"
"Ding! You have successfully signed in to the magic crystal ball. You have obtained 93 points of earth element affinity. The host's current earth element affinity has reached 100 points.”
