Rich is the second son of viscount Xinghu.
In the aristocratic families of the Empire, the eldest son received various training from a very young age and was established as the heir.
The second son and the third son can only get very few resources and have to make a living when they grow up.
This is not harsh, but if each generation splits the territory, within a few generations, everyone will become civilians, and the title of nobility will no longer exist.
As the second son of the Viscount, he was lucky. At least when he was a child, he learned words and arithmetic with a scholar. When he grew up, he might be able to serve a higher aristocrat.
At worst, I can live alone as an excellent scholar.
To his regret, he did not have the qualification to become a "superstring warrior". Otherwise, he might have the opportunity to become an aristocrat by virtue of his strength.
Once he thought that his life was like this, and he could see the end at a glance.
But everything was broken in the conversation that night.
Rich talked to his father vaguely all night. "Everybody!"
When the square in front of the mage tower was full of people, a figure flew down directly from the sky.
"My God..."
"Fly!"
Many teenagers shine directly with their eyes, with envy and longing.
"Teenagers under the age of 15, come here, line up, enter the mage tower and test the mage's qualification!"
Phil's voice, like thunder, spread throughout the venue, making many nearby people cover their ears.
"Line up and come one by one!"
Under the gaze of a mage, the order of the scene was well controlled.
However, the lines of young girls are very interesting. Basically, the big nobles are in the front, and the small nobles are in the back.
"Is the daughter of count Philly's family..."
Rich looked at Lindsay's back and secretly confirmed the information.
The line was long, but it was moving fast.
Rich found that the teenagers who went in probably only stayed for a few minutes and came out. Many of them were depressed.
"The failure rate is very high!"
"What is the qualification of a magician?"
In his heart, he was uneasy.
"Alexander, pass!"
At this time, a voice came from the front, which made the team look at it.
"It's finally passed. Come on... Rich, you can do it."
Rich clenched his fist and watched the team move forward, one by one 'qualified people' came out.
"Lindsay, pass!"
A moment later, he heard a voice, looked at the old housekeeper of the count Philly's house, and covered his face excitedly.
"Next. Rich!"
"It's my turn!"
Rich took a deep breath and went into the mage tower.
As far as you can see, it is an empty hall with array rituals on the ground.
"Don't be nervous, come to us!"
In front, there are two magicians in robes, a man and a woman.
The woman spoke with a sweet voice.
Ricky's legs trembled a little. He didn't dare to look at each other's faces. He only dared to stare at each other's clothes and boots, and walked forward slowly.
Boom!
Suddenly, he felt an impact coming on his face.
"Ah!"
He let out a low cry and shook his body, but he didn't fall.
"Well, pass!"
The male magician said definitely, "good..."
He paused and let rich out.
Rich's head was dizzy. He saluted and walked out of the mage tower. There was a document to register immediately.
"It's a little rough to use spiritual shock magic to investigate the qualifications of each apprentice..."
Yilia said to taclau, "we must develop more advanced means in the future!"
A wry smile appeared on TaClo's face: "yes, but the first time I used it, the effect was good. At least, I found out the teenagers with spiritual potential... Alas, at this time, I'm still wondering, how did the teacher find us in those years?"
At that time, Turing just looked at him and bought him in the slave market.
Elia and Phil also glanced and confirmed that they had the qualification of a magician.
Now taclau knows that the three of them are not only qualified, but also excellent.
"Teacher... I don't know where he went..."
Elijah also had a blank look in her eyes.
……
"Well, let's announce the list below: Alexander, Lindsay, Dami, Ted, rusov... Rich... These 17 people can stay and become a magic apprentice!"
On the square, Phil took the list handed over by the instrument and announced loudly: "those above the list who want to be our apprentices, come here tomorrow morning and don't forget to bring your tuition... 200 imperial gold coins a year! Well, let's break up!"
As for those who want to go through the back door or even bribe, Phil is dismissive.
Magician's qualification is so harsh.
Without some talent, you can't go too far.
In fact, he was surprised to receive so many apprentices this time.
After all, this is a more demanding talent than superstring warriors!
He closed the door, walked into the mage tower and saw Elijah with TaClo: "well... Next, we need to prepare an introductory magic book... I think it's enough to teach meditation at the beginning. When they get started, they will teach rune, waumun and magic tricks..."
Watching the scene of their discussion, Phil was a little jealous and stepped forward: "I suggest that when we become a formal magician, we join an assessment or trial! This is to expand the influence of our magicians."
"But... The Empire..." taclau frowned. "I think we should take the opportunity to reach a reconciliation with the Empire, at least a tacit understanding, which will help promote the development of magic..."
"No... I suggest directly uniting the nobility and rebelling against the Empire!"
Phil's voice was as cold as metal: "under the mage tower, we are extremely powerful and may be able to kill legends... Even without the help of the mage tower, I'm not afraid of the mercenary emperor now!"
"You..."
Elijah looked at the two fiercely opposed people, with a helpless look on her face.
