Chapter 3

The City Lord's Mansion is much more luxurious than the Viscount's Mansion, Green thought to himself.

There were so many people in the hall, Green couldn't wait to look inside, and saw a wizard in a large gray robe sitting at the top of the hall, his face was just like what Mary said, as if shrouded in a layer of smoke, making it hard to see clearly.

There was a transparent crystal ball on the table in front of the wizard, emitting a soft light, and the whole hall was enveloped in a mysterious atmosphere. A red-eyed frog squatted next to the crystal ball, cooing non-stop.

Is this the magical wizard?

A little excited, this was the first time Green saw the legendary wizard who possessed mysterious magic power, and in front of the wizard's crystal ball, a chubby brown-haired girl was holding the crystal ball nervously with her eyes closed. The people in the hall held their breaths, and there was no sound for a long time. Then Green looked behind the wizard, three children who were about the same size as himself.

is her?

Green was the first to see the girl, and she was pouting at this moment, with a look of reluctance on her face. This girl is the one who discarded the magic book "Nose Hunting Transformation and Odor Atlas" in the Viscount's Mansion last time. Green has also known for more than half a year that she is the only daughter of the lord of Bissel City. She has noble blood and power. That paunchy nobleman back then was the great city lord.

The other two people seemed to be a pair of brothers and sisters, or brothers and sisters. Green couldn't tell the difference, but judging from their almost identical appearance, they must be related by blood. The boy was full of arrogance, and stood behind the wizard with his head held high, looking at the sneering faces of the people who came to the wizard's apprentice qualification appraisal, similar to the guy who charged at the gate of the city lord's mansion. The girl looked a little shy, and it was probably rare for so many people to pay attention at the same time.

Could it be that they were tested to have the qualifications of potential wizard apprentices? Green guessed in his mind.

Green is right, this pair of brothers and sisters are children who have been tested by wizards in a city before Bissel City to have the qualifications of wizard apprentices. For myself, this really makes people have a soaring pleasure.

The boy's name is Yorkris, and the girl's name is Yorkliana. They were originally from an ordinary Orion family. When the two were both found to have the potential of wizards, the usually noble nobles immediately curry favor with the two of them like dogs, which made Yokris feel that he was the center of the world, that he was the darling of heaven.

Yokris looked at those guys scrambling to test the wizard's potential with contempt in his eyes.

If it is so good to have the qualifications of a wizard apprentice, how come there are only two brothers and sisters and that idiot outside the door in the previous three cities? It would be nice to have the city lord's daughter alone in this city, and it was obtained by bribing the wizard.

"Mental power 6, unqualified, next." At this moment, the mysterious wizard spoke. At the same time, the chubby girl who touched the crystal ball nervously turned pale, and left under the urging of the people behind. up the crystal ball.

"Hey, it's unqualified again."

"Yeah, it seems that we have no hope here."

The people who were holding their breath sighed one after another. After a day of aptitude testing, except for the daughter of the city lord who was the first to test, no one had the aptitude of a wizard. I have long since given up.

"Mental power 5, unqualified, next." The boy in front of the crystal ball curled his lips helplessly, and left in despair.

One after another, the people who took the qualification test of the wizard apprentice left. Gradually, as Green got closer and closer, a sense of despair gradually rose in his heart. It seemed that being a wizard was not so easy. Green knew that the boy in front was Wade, the son of the owner of the Moon Bay Restaurant. The Moon Bay Restaurant was the most luxurious place in Bissel City, so there must be countless gold coins in this guy's house.

Wade sat in front of the crystal ball nervously, touched it, and closed his eyes as the crystal ball gradually emitted a soft light.

"Mental power 9, no... huh?"

The sharp-eyed Green saw that Wade quietly handed the wizard a bag, which turned out to be strange stones, which looked like twenty or thirty. The well-informed Green immediately thought of a possibility, bribery?

"Well, mental power is 10, stand behind me." The wizard put away the bag and changed his words.

Wade looked excited: "Thank you, sir." After speaking, he stood behind the wizard excitedly.

Green's face was ugly. He had nothing to bribe the other party. I believe this great wizard would not like the only gold coin left in his house, right? Green walked to the crystal ball in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do.

"Put your hands on the crystal ball and close your eyes." Following the wizard's words, Green instinctively followed suit. In Green's senses, the hall seemed to be quiet for a while, as if the whole world was covered with a big hood .

"Huh? What's going on?" Green opened his eyes, only to see that the people in the hall seemed to be frozen and motionless.

The daughter of the city lord was still pouting and crying, but tears were dripping in the air. Yokris sneered, showing two pointed canine teeth. Green turned around, and the annoying guy who charged the appraisal fee at the door threw a A gold coin, but the gold coin is frozen in mid-air at this moment.

Everyone in the hall seemed to be frozen, frozen in a time and space?

Um? wrong!

Green noticed that there was a table in the corner of the hall, and there were plates on it, with delicate patterns printed on them, and such extravagant plates could not be used in ordinary homes.

Inside the plate were exquisite pastries and fruits, which the Lord City Master used to give to those who tested the qualifications of wizards, but no one would actually come to eat them, so decoration was more important than practicality. But at this time, on the top of the fruit platter, there were actually two creatures with colorful soft tentacles and countless eyes, floating and playing like jellyfish, swinging and swinging in the air.

This... this is incredible! What is this?

Green could feel his body trembling, and his face must be ugly. Although he had longed for the mysterious wizarding world countless times, but now the wizarding world has just opened the door to him at the tip of the iceberg, and he feels endless unknown and fear. It is a world different from the real world I know.

Green bravely walked towards the two strange unknown creatures cautiously, but just approaching the table, the two creatures seemed to be frightened and swam to the wall. At this time, the wall turned out to be like water waves. The two strange creatures It easily blends into the wall and disappears.

Dazed for a moment, Green was stunned by the fact that the two strange creatures disappeared into the wall. However, as he approached the dining table, Green suddenly found that besides the four normal wax torches on the dining table, there was also a wax torch that seemed extremely abnormal. Although there is a burning candle on top of this wax torch, the wax torch itself is not an exquisite decoration of noble craftsmanship, but a roasted red pig's head.

Green was a little surprised. Why did he feel normal when he saw the wax torch at the beginning, but when he got close to it, he suddenly felt that it was contrary to the facts? Strangely, the two eyes of the pig-headed wax torch moved slowly, fixed on Green, and met Green's eyes.

A creepy and weird atmosphere pervades.

"Haha! I have finally broken through to the highest level! The sky! The earth! The dragon! I can't stop me anymore!" Suddenly, a loud and arrogant voice appeared from this terrifyingly silent world. Because Green's thinking and reaction ability slowed down, although he felt abrupt, he didn't feel frightened, and looked back to where the sound came from.

It was a biographical novel of a bard that nobles read when they were bored. The theme of the story was probably that a poor boy fell in love with a noble lady, but was obstructed by the other family. He defeated the most powerful evil dragon in the world, proved himself, and married his beloved. Overall, it's an old-fashioned boring story, and there are some illustrations in the novel, depicting illustrations of the main character defeating evil enemies one by one.

"See...hell." Green stammered as he looked at the biographical novel.

A small paper figurine was struggling to break through the books, and stood up slowly. The figurine had all the organs of a human being, and his expression was lifelike, with an exaggerated expression of surprise, and he looked around in a daze.

This paper figurine is exactly the illustration of the protagonist in the biographical novel, but at this time, although he is no longer as rough and simple as the illustration in the novel, and has exquisite human expressions, this is only his front face. In essence, he is just a piece of paper. Standing thin paper, and the back of him is still a page full of words.

"Damn it, where is this? Shouldn't I be a god?" The paper figurine yelled in panic, looking around in a daze. Suddenly, the villain seemed to see Green, and with a serious expression on his face, he pulled out a long paper sword and pointed at Green: "Who are you? A god from the God Realm?"

"Who are you, the god of the God Realm? Who are you? The god of the God Realm? Who are you?..." Suddenly, the cracks in the floor tiles on the floor of the hall formed a long crack, and the cracks opened one by one. , like a talking mouth, although Green and the motionless nobles in the hall stood on the crack, they didn't fall down, as if the crack mouth was just an illusion, but they repeated the words of the little paper man over and over again.

Muran protruded a scarlet tongue from the endless dark cracks, and the tongue protruded from Green's feet. Green could even clearly see that the tongue was made up of countless tiny snakes wriggling together, and rolled up abruptly. The villain, who had been stunned by the book, disappeared deep into the cracks in the ground amidst a series of screams.

"It's not true..." Green was stunned, trembling on the spot.

Suddenly, the desktop crystal ball seemed to emit a burst of dazzling light. At the same time, Green was pulled to the side of the crystal ball in a daze. The moment his hands touched the crystal ball, the world no longer presented such a frozen picture again, and the sound also disappeared. Into Green's ears.

"Mental power 12, yes, stand behind me." Green raised his head pale, and instinctively got up and stood behind the wizard.

He looked up and looked around, all the weirdness disappeared, even the nobleman who was reading a biographical novel did not have any abnormalities, there was no pig's head wax torch on the table, and the floor was fine, it seemed that everything just now was an illusion, or dream.

"Damn it! What kind of luck did this guy have to have the aptitude of a wizard?"

"It's over, it's over, my child once bullied him, don't come back for revenge in the future!"

The hall boiled for a while, and then fell silent again after the wizard snorted coldly. Wade, the daughter of the city lord and the son of the boss of Moon Bay next to Green, looked at Green in surprise, but when he saw Green dressed as a servant, he dismissed it contemptuously. Shut up, not in the mood to strike up a conversation.
