Chapter 416

At the beginning of July, the auditorium of Silver Star Academy.

The interior space of this circular auditorium is transparent, and the whole is divided into two halves. A statue of the goddess of magic more than 20 meters high stands on one side. At its feet is a platform with six tall seats.

In front of the platform, rows of seats are arranged in a fan shape.

Thousands of seats from low to high, no matter from which angle you can see the situation on the platform.

At this time, more than two hundred people were already seated in the auditorium. People were sitting scattered in twos and threes. Some prayed silently to the goddess, some whispered to their friends, and some looked nervously at the platform, as if they were waiting wearing something.

These people are all wizards.

Among them was Raistlin, who sat on a high place far from the platform and had a panoramic view of the entire auditorium.

Today is the day that the legendary wizards of Wedzeland recruit students.

In the past, Wezeland held two or three apprenticeship ceremonies from time to time every year, but the Floating Void City suffered a catastrophe last year, and the number of official wizards dropped by one-third, including many legendary wizards, and tens of thousands of residents were killed or injured. People, the vitality of the Floating Void City has not recovered until now, and many routines have been broken.

This is the first time Wezeland has held a teacher apprenticeship ceremony after the catastrophe.

Therefore, today's ceremony is particularly eye-catching.

The number of new wizards alone is several times higher than before. After all, accumulated over the past two years, many wizards who have passed their first soul transformation last year have been waiting until now.

The total number of apprentices at Wezeland Academy has remained at around 500 throughout the year, and each apprentice is regarded as a genius in the eyes of ordinary people from the outside world.

However, not all apprentices can pass the soul transformation ceremony.

The soul transformation rate of Witheland College is about 80%. Among these 80%, only about one-third are qualified to practice meditation and become wizards. There are about 25 people every year. They stand out from countless people and enter the high tower area , to truly become a member of Wezeland Floating City.

Due to the special circumstances of this year, the number of new wizards far exceeded the previous ones.

Raistlin quietly opened the eyes of the soul and counted. There are nearly seventy new wizards sitting in the auditorium, which is almost three times the number of previous years!

Unfortunately, not everyone can worship the legendary wizard.

The rules of Wezeland have not changed for thousands of years, the survival of the fittest, only legendary wizards can recruit students, concentrate resources on a few top geniuses, and carefully cultivate them into elite wizards, far surpassing spellcasters and supernatural beings of the same level.

The energy and time of a legendary wizard are limited, and so are the resources of the floating city.

A legend can only train seven or eight students at most at the same time, and any more will affect his own development. However, there are currently twelve legendary wizards in Wezeland. So, the final quota is less than one hundred in total!

Moreover, some legendary wizards don't like to teach students, and after recruiting one or two students, there is no movement for many years.

Usually only three or four new wizards become lucky each year.

The rest of the new wizards who have not been favored have no teachers, but this does not prevent them from joining the six departments of the Floating Void City, namely the Academy Department, Management Department, Alchemy Department, Secret Art Department, City Defense Department and Exploration Department, and work in exchange for rewards and resources , slowly accumulating strength.

Getting wizards into various divisions doesn't mean the opportunity is lost forever.

Every year when the apprenticeship ceremony is held, as long as there is no wizard without a teacher, you can sign up to participate.

In the history of Wezeland, there are many successful precedents of working in the department for many years, accumulating a lot, and then becoming a legend, or becoming a legend by themselves.

However, there are also wizards who choose to leave Wedzeland and go out to find other opportunities.

One after another, portals opened one after another, and wizards walked out of them, and they found a place to sit in the auditorium.

A moment later, the number of wizards exceeded three hundred.

Almost all the wizards in Wezeland without a teacher came, and even a few high-level wizards came to join in the fun.

The Floating Void City encountered a catastrophe, many wizards sacrificed, and at the same time gave up their places. This apprenticeship ceremony is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and no one wants to miss it.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, there were rumors that the legendary wizards would recruit a large number of students in this ceremony, the number of which should not be less than twenty!

Raistlin's indifferent eyes flickered.

The rumor is true.

His body participated in the six-person council. This was the teacher's proposition. Every legend should try his best to train students and restore the power of the floating city, which was unanimously approved by all the chairpersons with a show of hands.

Several young voices reached Raistlin's ears and caught his attention.

"Oh, I really hope I can be chosen, Goddess bless!"

"Me too……"

"If you could make up your mind, whose student would you most like to be?" asked the person speaking earlier.

Another person replied without hesitation: "Of course it is Your Excellency the Great Speaker!"

"Who in the entire empire dares to become a student of the Great Speaker! But do you think it's possible?" A third person next to him sneered, "I think it's better to lower the requirements, what is the second choice besides Your Excellency the Great Speaker?"

"Chairman Ren!" A man and a woman replied in unison.

Someone didn't think so, and questioned in a low voice: "Uh... Chairman Ren is so young, and he has only been promoted to a legendary wizard for a few months, and he doesn't have enough teaching experience..."

"But Speaker Ren is rich!"

"Yes, yes, Chairman Ren is the Earl of Genlamorgan. He owns such a large territory, and it is said that he is very generous. Last year, he gave the corpse of a green dragon to the Alchemy Department and provided wizards with a lot of potion equipment. If you become his student, you will be prosperous!"

"And Chairman Ren is so young, only a few years older than us. He is the youngest legendary wizard in history. He is very hopeful to be promoted to the holy soul in the future. He is not much worse than the students who become the Great Speaker. Then he will follow the glory, tsk tsk..."

The new wizard who spoke was quite excited, and his tone was full of yearning.

Discussions like this happen from time to time in the auditorium.

Raistlin listened secretly for a while, and found that he was very popular among the new wizards, especially the witches, who almost expected that he could accept them as students, so he couldn't help smiling proudly.

I finally experienced the treatment of "tall, rich and handsome".

But accepting apprentices is not a child's play, Raistlin quietly opened the eyes of the soul to observe the wizards in the hall before the ceremony started.

The materials for signing up for wizards were submitted to the legends a few days ago.

After all, information written on paper is not as clear as observation in person.

Raistlin sat on a high place, his soul eyes were like radar, he quickly found out the details of the wizards present, and he already had a clear goal in mind.

It has to be said that the wizards of Wezeland are much stronger than the extraordinary people outside.

Even the new wizards who have just passed the soul transformation, only have one level, and some even just mastered the meditation method, the soul strength is several times higher, and the potential is far beyond the ordinary extraordinary!

There are two people who stand out the most in this batch of new wizards.

One is a high elf from the far west of the Old World, born in Demeter.

You can often see elves in Modu. The wizards in the floating city have long been familiar with elves. Elves do not have the curse of blood and soul, and their talents are much better than humans. However, not every elf can become a mage. Their There are also high and low talents.

This high elf called "Dalamar" is extremely talented. He mastered meditation at the age of twelve and became an official mage. He has just turned twenty this year and is a third-level mage. Considering the age of an elf, he is still underage, but The mind is as mature as a human being.

For unknown reasons, Dalamar left the kingdom of elves and entered Wezelan floating city to study.

Three years ago, his arrival caused quite a stir.

The proud high elf said that he was only willing to worship under the great speaker or the high elf speaker Cleos.

Apparently, Dalamar didn't know that Kryos was a dragon, that the elves were just a disguise, and didn't want to take him as a student at all.

And Anxi Wodas did not take a fancy to him.

Previously, there was also a legendary wizard who was willing to accept Dalamar, but was rejected on the spot. This is the third time he has participated in the apprenticeship ceremony.

Dalamar sat in the front row next to the platform in the middle. He didn't have any friends around him. His handsome face was full of rebellion. He seemed to ignore anyone, but his back was a bit lonely.

The second in the limelight is a witch.

Her talent is astonishingly high, and she is the first new wizard in Wezeland to achieve perfect soul transformation in the past hundred years. When the news came out a few months ago, it caused a sensation in the floating city, and even Anse Wodos also praised her a few words .

People don't know that she is actually the second perfect soul transformation.

But this does not affect everyone's expectations for this witch. Every wizard who has a perfect soul transformation is a rare talent that is rare in a hundred years. As long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be promoted to a legend in the future. Her chance was met, and her chances were a little bit higher than other legends.

The witch's name is "Polaris".

She sat not far from Dalamar, surrounded by a large group of people, star-studded, in sharp contrast to the situation in Dalamar.

Raistlin looked to Polaris in the crowd.

The eyes of the soul see through it, and she is practicing the "Wheel of the Stars" meditation method, which means that she has changed to an arcanist.

In just a few months, Polaris has been promoted to a level. He is currently a second-level wizard and has mastered nine spells. The number of spell grids is four more than that of a normal second-level wizard!

"As expected of a perfect soul change, this talent is almost catching up with me." Raistlin muttered.

Polaris is talented, but what makes her so sought after is her beauty.

Just over nineteen years old, she has a slender figure, with attractive curves outlined under the well-fitting magic robe, a slender neck, smooth skin without the slightest blemish, and long black hair tied behind her head that looks refreshing and capable. Her facial features are as exquisite as a masterpiece of a god. When she smiles, her bright eyes narrow into a pair of beautiful crescent moons. She has a graceful posture and a bright temperament. Every frown and smile can touch people's hearts.

From Raistlin's position, he could only see her side face, but there was a thrilling beauty in this angle.

"This beauty!"

"It's no worse than Xi Liya, no wonder it's so popular, with a group of suitors around it..."

There was deep meaning in Raistlin's eyes. This beautiful witch was not as easy to get along with as she looked. Her soul remained calm all the time, with almost no fluctuations. It was completely different from the smiling face on the surface. Obviously has its own scheming and city government.

"A wizard who possesses talent, beauty and wisdom at the same time is destined to have a bright future."

Raistlin admired secretly.

In a world where the strong are respected, only beauty is useless, and it may bring disasters in turn, but beauty combined with strength or wisdom is too powerful.

Polaris has just become a wizard, but his reputation is no less than that of a legendary wizard.

There are rumors of her even outside the floating city of Wezeland.

Admirers of Polaris call her Lady Polaris, the brightest star in the night sky of Arranus, and the meaning speaks for itself.

Raistlin took a few extra glances at her, as if aware of it, and turned to look back.

He moved his eyes away ahead of time, his expression indifferent.

Polaris looked away, and after a while, she suddenly showed curiosity on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Who is that wizard sitting at the back? It looks very strange, why haven't I seen it before?"

The wizards next to him all looked at Raistlin, and most of them shook their heads to express their ignorance.

Only one male wizard replied courteously: "Ma'am, I saw him at the registration office of the management department last month. He is not an apprentice who graduated from our academy, but entered the floating city through a letter of recommendation. His name seems to be Lei." Slim, I don't remember exactly."

"It turned out to be a new wizard from outside, no wonder..."

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they all looked at Raistlin with serious eyes, no one dared to underestimate him.

Anyone who can write a letter of recommendation to Wezelan must at least be a legendary wizard and have a close relationship with the upper echelons of the floating city, otherwise the council of six would not easily agree to let a foreign wizard join the floating city.

The wizards who can be recommended to Floating Void City are all mediocre without exception.

The most famous example is Speaker Wren.

He entered Wezeland with the recommendation letter from the Duke of Silver Star. This matter has become the laughing stock of the Duke of Silver Star in the empire, and he handed over a seedling of a holy soul wizard.

Of course, in the eyes of the wizards of Wedzeland, this is a good talk.

Polaris was thoughtful, but didn't ask further.

Raistlin overheard their conversation, of course, but didn't take it to heart, continuing to observe the other talented new wizards.

A moment later, it was exactly twelve noon.

Bells rang in the Great Hall.

As the bell stopped and the auditorium fell silent, all the wizards sat up straight, their eyes focused on the platform, six lights and shadows gradually emerged, and six wizards of various shapes walked out of them, and the leader was the Great Speaker Anse Wodos.

When the speakers were seated, seven high-back chairs appeared out of thin air on both sides.

Rays of light flickered continuously, and a legendary wizard appeared on each chair. On the platform, the twelve legendary wizards of Wezeland and the only holy soul wizard had all arrived.

The wizards stood up and saluted: "I have seen the Great Speaker and all the teachers."

"Sit down." Anse Wodos responded on behalf of the legendary wizards, and when everyone was seated, he immediately entered the topic and said loudly: "Today's ceremony is held for the future development of Wezeland, to rebuild Wezeland's strength and Fame, this is inseparable from the efforts of wizards, so the council of six decided to expand the quota and recruit 30 students this year to help young wizards with better talents grow faster."

The wizards in the audience were very excited, there were thirty places!

This is twice as much as expected, which means that everyone has a higher chance of being selected.

"The six-member council has already allocated the 30 places." Anse Wodos continued: "According to the usual practice, the legendary wizards who recruit students for the first time have priority."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Ren and Oxilia.

None of them have students.

The vast majority of people looked at Ren. Although Ausiliya was a legendary mid-level woman with stunning beauty, she was low-key, cold, and didn't like to deal with outsiders. People knew little about her.

While everyone was looking forward to it, Ren made a gesture of invitation and humbly said, "Ma'am, please choose first."

This can't help but disappoint many people.

Oxilia didn't refuse. She stood up and looked at another witch who was as beautiful as herself. Her cold voice spread throughout the auditorium: "Polaris, are you willing to be my student?"

There was a low beep.

The wizards looked at Polaris in unison, waiting for her answer.

It was clear to everyone that this was clearly not the teacher she wanted the most. The first choice must be His Excellency the Great Speaker, and the second choice is Speaker Rennes. With the potential of Polaris, no matter how bad it is, he will worship under a certain speaker, and even the speaker is not Ms. Oxilia, which is completely out of consideration .

In the history of Wedzeland, there have been people who have refused to apprentice, but it is very rare, and usually there is no good result, because it will leave a bad impression on people.

Dalamar is the immediate example.

Polaris showed a look of hesitation. Although she knew how to read words and expressions at a young age, she was a little panicked when faced with a decision that would affect her life.

She looked at Oxilia, without any expression on her beautiful face, neither urging nor expecting.

"It would be great if Speaker Ryan was elected first. Why did he give it to Ms. Oxilia?" Polaris felt depressed and lost, struggling, and glanced at Ryan beside Oxelia, suddenly I found that there was a bit of a smile on his face, and he didn't have any regrets about missing a perfect soul-changing student.

"With my talent and beauty, does Speaker Ren look down on me?"

Polaris bit her lip lightly.

Ever since she grew up at the age of ten, she knew how to use her advantages to be invincible among the opposite sex, but she didn't expect it to fail at the most critical moment. Oxilia is also a lady, and her beauty is slightly more beautiful. If she becomes her student, she will lose her sharp weapon for favor.

"wrong!"

Polaris noticed a detail. When Speaker Lane gave way just now, Ms. Oxilia stood up before she could speak.

This time difference is extremely short, maybe less than half a second, and almost no one will notice the abnormality, but it is enough to make people suspect that there seems to be a wonderful tacit understanding between the two.

Either they were negotiated beforehand; or they had an undisclosed relationship.

No matter what the situation is, you can't refuse!

In a flash of thought, Polaris made a decision in just a few seconds, quickly walked up the steps to Oxilia, and saluted respectfully: "Meet the teacher."
