Chapter 207

Ren woke up early the next day.

He meditated, exercised, ate as usual, and then dealt with official duties, patiently waiting for Master Anxi's notification in the castle.

Just after halfway in the morning, Fabian rushed in with a happy face and said loudly, "Congratulations, Lord Lord."

Ren closed the document in his hand, "What news did you hear?"

"My lord is wise, you knew it without telling me." Fabian habitually patted his ass first, and then said: "There is news from Wezelan that Master Anxi held a ceremony today to accept Lord Lord as a student. , now everyone in Modu has heard about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emily and Pansil also entered the study and congratulated together.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency the Earl." Pansil bowed and saluted.

"Ren, you will be a student of the Holy Soul Sorcerer from now on!" Emily's excitement was beyond words.

Ren stood up and nodded, and replied, "Thank you, two ladies."

Emily shook her head enviously when she saw that Ryan was still looking calm.

If I can worship Master Anxi as my teacher and rely on this giant mountain, no matter how difficult things are, it will become easier.

For example, take back your own throne!

She thought about it, since she couldn't get into the relationship with the Holy Soul Wizard, then it seemed like a good choice to cling to the students of the Holy Soul Wizard.

Ren's strength, status, wealth, these conditions are combined, few people in the entire empire can match, even if he is as ugly as a goblin, there are countless women who are willing to sacrifice themselves to compete for the title of Countess of Glamorgan.

What's more, Ren's appearance is outstanding, he is the most handsome man she has ever seen!

If Ren can help him restore his country, it is definitely not a loss to commit himself to him.

Thinking of this, Emily blushed slightly, and quickly suppressed this tempting thought, but no matter how she tried to stop it, this thought could not be thrown away, like a ghost lingering in her mind.

Ren noticed the color change of Emily's soul, but he didn't know exactly what she was thinking. He just smiled secretly and didn't care.

He chatted with everyone in the study, but it was very lively outside the castle.

Every few minutes, a letter of congratulations was sent to the castle, all of whom were dignitaries and famous people from all walks of life in Modu.

Fabian opened a few letters at random and read them out. The eager words and humble attitude were more refined than the letterhead when Wren officially became the Earl of Glamorgan last time.

"Fabian, don't read it."

Ren was made goosebumps by the content of a letter, and sarcastically said: "It is said that Modu people are xenophobic, I can't see it, but they are too enthusiastic."

"Haha, I'm afraid my lord will never feel the feeling of being rejected in the future."

Fabian put away the envelope, and while flattering, he carefully sorted out the letter according to the status of the sender.

Emily and Pansil both laughed.

Just as Ren was about to answer the question, a servant knocked on the door and came in, saying excitedly, "My lord, there is a lord wizard outside who claims to have come down from the floating city."

"Well, I'm going to see him."

Ren went downstairs to the living room, and when he saw a middle-aged wizard, he sneered in his heart.

He had seen this wizard before. He was the staff member who received recommendation letters and personal information at Wedzeland College last time. At that time, his attitude towards him was not very good. It can be said that he was very arrogant.

But at this moment, the other party stood up respectfully, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Master Earl."

"I'm Perry from Weddeland College, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, please sit down."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling person, and he has no hatred with him, Ren didn't want to care about it, and asked, "Did the teacher ask you to come?"

Just as Perry was about to sit down, when he heard Ryan mentioning Anse Wodoss, he quickly stood up again, and said seriously: "Yes, Your Excellency the Great Speaker asked me to inform you to arrive at the auditorium of the college on time at twelve o'clock noon. Participate in the apprenticeship ceremony."

"What's so special about this teacher apprenticeship ceremony, tell me." Ren asked casually after checking that the time was still early.

Perry explained it in detail.

The formal apprenticeship ceremony is a tradition in the empire. Not only in Wezeland Floating Void City, but all the academies and wizards with a long history will hold a simple but solemn ceremony when accepting students.

Floating Void City holds several apprenticeship ceremonies every year.

Every wizard who enters the high tower area of ​​Wedzeland College, worshiping under the door of a legendary wizard, must go through this ceremony.

The process of the ceremony is not complicated, and the time is short, but other wizards from the floating city will be called to watch the ceremony, which can be regarded as a witness.

Perry explained the whole process, and Ren felt relieved after listening.

This is much simpler than canonization.

After all, it is a wizard who accepts apprentices, so there are not so many tricks, as long as you have the meaning.

When it was close to noon, Ren set off half an hour earlier. He didn't take anyone with him and went alone.

Emily wanted to go to the ceremony, but was rejected.

The Wezeland College forbids outsiders to enter, and even if she arrives in the floating city, she cannot enter the auditorium.

Perry took out the magic badge representing Wezeland in the courtyard of the castle, and after casting a spell, opened a portal.

Ren crossed the door and appeared outside the gate of Wezeland College.

Perry said respectfully, "My lord, please follow me."

Entering the academy, because the time for lunch was approaching, the young apprentices were all out of class, and there were people coming and going in the academy, and soon some apprentices recognized Perry and Renn beside Perry.

"Look, it's the Lord of Glamorgan."

"Wow, the Earl is so handsome!"

"He will soon become a student of His Excellency the Great Speaker, when will it be my turn?"

"You think beautifully!"

"Hmph, sooner or later I will also enter the high tower area, just wait and see."

The apprentices along the road frequently cast their eyes on Ren as if they were visiting a rare demon soul, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

Ren can hear the apprentices talking about him without using the voice of all things.

Especially when I heard those girls say that they are handsome, I laughed narcissistically in my heart.

Last night when he tested the activated metal, he deliberately adjusted his appearance slightly, removing all the small flaws that existed before. It seemed that there were very few changes, but he achieved an amazing effect, imposing and flawless.

Now it seems that the effect is outstanding!

While the apprentices watched, Ren followed Perry into the academy's auditorium.

Located at the foot of the Wedzeland Tower, the auditorium looks like a giant bowl upside down on the ground. Enter from the main entrance, walk through the wide aisle, and see the interior space of the auditorium at a glance.

The interior of the circular auditorium is completely opened up and integrated into one.

In the lower part of the middle is a platform with six tall seats, surrounded by rows of seats arranged in a fan shape, one row higher than the other, no matter where you are, you can clearly see the situation of the platform below.

Behind the platform is a statue of the goddess of magic, more than 20 meters high, overlooking the entire auditorium.

Entering from the gate of the auditorium, it happened to be facing the statue.

Ren saluted the statue, said a prayer silently, and then turned his head, only to notice that half of the seats in the auditorium were already occupied.

"A lot of wizards!"

Ren secretly inhaled. This was the first time he saw so many wizards gathered together, at least two hundred.

Every wizard here is an elite extraordinary person. There are fifty or sixty high-level wizards alone, and there are even three or four legendary wizards!

They are arranged according to the level of strength.

The legendary wizards sit in the first row, closest to the platform; the high-ranking wizards in the back, and so on; the weakest junior wizards sit in the high back row, furthest away.

At this moment, the entire auditorium fell silent.

The eyes of all the wizards fell on Ren, examining him.

Even if Ren has the will to truth, no matter how good his psychological quality is, he still feels a little nervous and his scalp is numb under such a big scene, being stared at by so many wizards.

But on the surface, Rennes was calm and composed, without losing his composure.

Oxilia, who was sitting in the front row, nodded slightly, and Ren walked over, sat side by side with her, and whispered, "Xilia."

"Well, you're here." Oxilia responded without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was solemn, waiting for the arrival of the speakers, only a burst of whispering. Ren took this opportunity to open the eyes of the soul and secretly observe the souls of the wizards present.

His eyes swept quickly, eliminating one by one.

Almost all wizards believe in the Goddess of Magic, but most of them are superficial believers, only a few are loyal believers, and there are only a handful of fanatics.

Some wizards are pan-believers and believe in multiple gods, including Justice and Mother Earth, or a lesser deity, such as Wealth and Destiny, or even a long-haired lady believers.

This situation is similar to that of Viola, and will not be regarded as an outlier.

"There's none?"

It took Renn a few minutes to observe all the wizards, but he didn't find any wizards who were fallen and turned to the Lord of the Dead.

This made him feel a little surprised, but at the same time felt relieved, at least the Floating Void City was safe.

Of course, not all the wizards in the auditorium were all the wizards in the Floating Void City, only about half of them. Many wizards were away from home, or had something to do, so they didn't come to watch the ceremony.

But there is one phenomenon that is not normal.

Ren discovered that nearly a quarter of the wizards were hostile to him!

He knew that he would offend a group of wizards if he killed Matil, the student of Speaker Madera, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

Maitre's students, together with his close friends during his lifetime, and the wizards of Speaker Madera's line, will not add up to more than thirty people.

But there are more than fifty wizards who are hostile to him at random, which doesn't make sense at all.

"Is it related to the nobles of Modu?"

"Or are they all involved in the plan of Shield Island?"

Ren secretly guessed and was taken aback by this guess.

If this is the case, then there are too many inner ghosts in the floating city, and a quarter of the wizards have fallen to the camp of Modu nobles!

Regardless of whether these wizards know the inside story of the island shield, this shows that the influence of the Modu nobles on the floating city is much greater than imagined.

"Fuck, this is internal strife!"

Ren didn't forget to take pictures, and took pictures of these people to make records.
