Jon fell into sleep by Moro's magic, and angel didn't wake him up again. He simply asked the dumb servant to return the mentor to the house.
Then they returned to the previous castle.
Lyon ordered his servants to gather all the people under the age of 50 into the hall and let the Moro test their talents for everyone.
Angel wanted to take the lead in the test, but Lyon stopped him and whispered in his ear, "let the servant test first, and you'll come again."
Lyon didn't explain the reason, but Angel knew it.
As Moro said just now, there are no gifted people. If he tests directly and finds that he has no talent, he will lose face naturally. If a servant tests before and then comes back, he won't appear too prominent even if he doesn't have talent. Of course, the premise is that there are really no gifted servants.
Soon, nearly a hundred servants under the age of 50 lined up at the gate of the castle.
Although many people were awakened in the middle of the night, no one dared to complain. They all stood up trembling.
"Everyone has come. Let's start the test." Moro said, "come one by one."
The place of talent test is a small storage room. Lyon asked his servant to remove all the things in the storage room in advance, leaving only some of the things assigned by the Moro.
Moro sat on the throne, with angel, Lyon, Eaton and the Allen brothers and sisters on both sides of him. Opposite the Moro, it is empty, which is the position reserved for the test object.
In the lamp on the table, there are deep-sea oil candles. The soft and bright light scattered from the lamp, illuminating the narrow storage room very brightly.
He took out a red crystal ball from his broad robe and put it on the table.
This red crystal ball is nothing special. Compared with the transparent crystal ball suspended around the Moro, it looks much darker.
"This is the eye of abiras, also known as the talent ball. It is made from the eye of abiras, a strange monster on the abyss plane." Moro explained: "although abiras has no strong power, his soul is very powerful. The talent ball made from his eyes can return to his soul and reflect a person's talent."
The first one who came in for the test was Ollie, the maid who served angel's daily life.
Ollie is one year older than angel. She's just 15 today. At ordinary times, they get along very harmoniously, not like masters and servants, just like friends. So when ole came in, although her face looked very serious, she secretly winked at angel when the people didn't pay attention.
Angel briefly explained the content of this test. Ollie's eyes lit up after listening.
As long as you have talent, you can become a legendary wizard?! Ollie's heart pounded, and she could hear the sound herself.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to change fate. Ollie immediately realized this, and her relaxed state of mind was also tightened in an instant. He saluted Moro with great respect, and then sat down opposite Moro with great restraint.
Moro pointed to the red talent ball. "The test is very simple. You will touch the crystal ball with your hand later. Then don't let go of your hand. Pay attention to observe whether everything around you has changed. If there is a change, it means you have talent."
Change? Ollie didn't understand for a moment, and others didn't understand, so Moro explained: "this change will be different according to the individual differences of gifted people."
"For example, when I touched the talent ball, the flame burning in the fireplace not far from me suddenly changed from a small flame to a raging fire. This kind of change that outsiders can't see, and I am the only one, is the expression of talent." After Moro explained, he thought and said, "the talent ball can't test a person's talent, but it is said that he can get guidance on the future path from 'change'. Of course, this statement has no basis. I don't believe it personally. After all, I'm not faster than water system when I practice fire."
"My granddaughter Irene, after touching the talent ball, heard all kinds of messy sounds in her ears. This is a change." Moro also pointed to the chubby Alan: "when Alan was testing his talent, he saw a piece of black bread in the plate out of thin air. This is also a change."
"If nothing changes around you in one minute of touching the talent ball, it's a pity that you basically don't have any talent." Moro shrugged.
After Moro finished, he stopped talking and pushed the talent ball to oli.
Ollie swallowed deeply, shakily stretched out her hand and put it on the talent ball
The little hourglass on the table walked around (1 minute). With disappointment on her face, oli shook her head at Moro, and then stepped back.
Moro's face was expressionless: "next."
As time went by, dozens of people tested one by one, but unfortunately, no one had talent.
At this time, a loyal young man flashed a light at the bottom of his eyes after touching the talent ball.
"I just felt a breeze blowing in front of me. I felt as if I were in the ocean of wind." The young man embraced the sky with enjoyment on his face.
"Has... Has it changed? Has the talent appeared?!" Count Eaton, who was on one side, cried out in surprise. He did not expect that there was no talent in the imperial capital, and there was a talent in the countryside?
Lyon's expression was also excited, and happily asked the maid mana about the identity of the young man.
Mana maid looked at the honest young man, but the corners of her mouth were cold. This man had a very bad reputation in the manor. Unexpectedly, such a man still had talent! Mana, while secretly scolding the goddess of luck for being too eccentric, whispered back: "he is the son of gardener Glenn, named fox."
Fox? Leon has never heard of it, but it's no big deal. There are so many servants in the manor that it's normal not to know them.
Lyon said happily to Mana, "later, you will take out a hundred gold coins from the warehouse and give them to..."
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, Moro's low voice rang through the room.
Fox's eyes were filled with pride when he heard Lyon's reward; But as soon as I heard the voice of the Moro, I immediately became depressed, and my forehead was covered with beads of sweat, large and small.
"The sea of wind? Hehe... When I was in the imperial capital, no one dared to deceive me; unexpectedly, there were people here who dared to make up stories in front of me. Do you really think the white wizard has no temper?"
After that, Moro snorted coldly, and a violent storm surrounded fox.
"Since you want to be in the ocean of the wind, I will help you. Taste the nonsense of the wind!"
After a burst of screaming, fox was blown out of the window by the cyclone, fell to the ground from the third floor, and cried and screamed continuously.
Lyon's face turned white: "Mr. morrow, what's going on? Is fox lying?"
Moro sneered: "although the 'change' can only be seen by the parties and can not be known by outsiders, once there is a 'change', the talent ball will flash to remind me that the talent will appear."
After Moro's words, people naturally knew the cause and effect.
They had been watching. The ball didn't shine from beginning to end that day. It was obvious that fox was lying just now.
After hearing this, Leon showed a trace of forbearing anger on his face and said to mana's maid, "from tomorrow on, I don't want to see fox in Gru town."
Mana Foley, with a low answer, went out of the door.
Fox's follow-up, people no longer pay attention. Moro straightened his robes, put away his impatient look and continued to test
Two hourglass hours passed, and all the servants were tested, including maid mana and garrison knights. None of them had talent.
Moro then looked at angel.
Angel knew it was his turn.
……
"I'll go first. I'm also very interested in wizards. Just now I heard from Mr. Moro that wizards have a long life and immortality, which is my desire." Lyon blocked angel and sat in front of the Moro: "if I live a long life, I can see more scenery. I want to see all the beauty of the world."
When angel saw his brother come forward, he didn't step back, but sat next to Lyon.
"You first." Angel made a clenched fist gesture to Lyon, which was the way they encouraged each other when they were young.
Leon smiled and rubbed angel's soft silk, then smiled and extended his hand to the talent ball.
The white sand in the hourglass falls slowly. Lyon slowly wandered around the room with his eyes, trying to find out where the 'change' was.
A minute later, Lyon's eyes were filled with disappointment, and then relaxed his hand on the talent ball.
"It seems... I have no talent." Lyon regretted that nothing had changed in that minute. Sure enough, as Moro said, gifted people are too rare.
"It's up to you." Leon patted angel on the shoulder.
Angel nodded and slowly put his hand on the smooth and greasy surface of the talent ball.
