"The mayor's palace is much more luxurious than the viscount's palace," Grimm thought to himself.
There were a lot of people in the hall. Grimm couldn't wait to look inside. He saw a wizard in a loose gray robe sitting at the highest point of the hall. Just like what Mary had said, his face was covered by a layer of mist and couldn't be seen clearly.
There was a transparent crystal ball on the table in front of the wizard. It was emitting a soft glow, and the whole hall was shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere. A red-eyed frog was squatting next to the crystal ball, croaking non-stop.
"Is this a wizard?"
Grimm was a little excited. This was the first time he saw a wizard who mastered mysterious and powerful witchcraft. In front of the wizard's crystal ball, a chubby girl with brown hair was nervously touching the crystal ball with her eyes closed.
The people in the hall were holding their breaths. After a while, Grimm looked behind the wizard and saw three children who were about the same age as him.
It's her?
The first girl that Grimm saw was currently pouting with a look of reluctance.
This girl was the one who threw away the magic book "Canine Olfactory Modification and Scent Mapping" in the viscount's palace during the winter. Grimm knew that she was the only daughter of the mayor of Bi Seer City and had great power.
That big-bellied nobleman must be the great mayor of Bi Seer City.
The other two seemed to be a pair of brother and sister, or maybe they were brother and sister. Grimm couldn't tell, but from their almost identical appearance, they must be related by blood.
The boy was full of arrogance. He stood behind the wizard with his head held high. He looked at the people who came to have their apprentice qualifications tested with a sneer on his face, just like the guy who collected gold coins at the entrance of the mayor's palace.
The girl looked a little shy, probably because she rarely had so many people's attention at the same time.
"Are they the ones who were tested to have the potential to become a wizard apprentice?"
Grimm guessed.
Grimm's guess was right. This pair of brother and sister were tested to have the potential to become a wizard apprentice in a city before Bi Seer City.
To be able to stand out from hundreds and thousands of children, and to be fawned upon by those high and mighty nobles, this was indeed a thrill of soaring to the sky.
The boy's name was Chris York, and the girl's name was Anna York. They were an ordinary hunter family.
When both of them were found to have the potential to become wizards, the nobles who were usually high and mighty began to fawn over them like a bunch of tavern girls. It made Chris feel like he was the center of the world. He felt like he was the favored child of the heavens and the protagonist of fate.
Chris looked at the wizards who were rushing to test their potential with disdain.
If he had the potential to become a Sorcerer-Apprentice, why would Master Apollo only have himself, his sister, and that idiot outside the door following him in the first three cities?
It was already good enough that the city lord's daughter was the only one in the city, not to mention that she had bribed a wizard to get her spot.
"Spiritual Power: 6. Unqualified. Next."
At this moment, the mysterious sorcerer spoke.
At the same time, the chubby girl who was touching the crystal ball nervously turned pale and left the crystal ball under the urging of the people behind her.
"Sigh, another failure."
"Yeah, looks like there's no hope for us."
The people who were holding their breaths sighed. After a whole day of testing, except for the daughter of the city lord, no one else was found to have the potential to become a Sorcerer.
If it weren't for the fact that they had already paid one gold coin, the rest of the people would have already given up.
"Spiritual Power: 5. Unqualified. Next."
The boy in front of the crystal ball pouted helplessly and left dejectedly.
One by one, the people who were taking the test left. Gradually, as Grimm got closer and closer to the front, he began to feel hopeless.
It seemed that it was not easy to become a Sorcerer.
Grimm knew that the boy in front of him was Wade, the son of the owner of the Moon Bay Tavern. The Moon Bay Tavern was the most luxurious place in Bi Seer City, so this guy must have a lot of gold coins.
Wade stood in front of the crystal ball nervously and touched it. As the crystal ball began to emit a soft light, he closed his eyes.
"Spiritual Power: 9. No … Huh?"
The sharp-eyed Grimm saw that Wade quietly handed a bag to the Sorcerer. There were twenty or thirty strange stones in the bag.
The quick-witted Grimm immediately thought of a possibility. A bribe?
"Okay, okay, stand behind me."
The Sorcerer put away the bag and changed his words.
Wade looked excited, "Thank you, Master."
After saying that, he stood behind the Sorcerer excitedly.
Grimm's face darkened. He didn't have anything to bribe the Sorcerer with. He believed that the great Sorcerer would not be interested in the one gold coin he had left in his house.
Grimm walked to the crystal ball with a confused mind, not knowing what to do.
"Put your hand on the crystal ball and close your eyes."
Following the Sorcerer's words, Grimm instinctively did as he was told. For a moment, Grimm felt that the hall seemed to be quiet, as if the whole world had been covered by a big cover.
"Huh? What's going on? "
When Glenn opened his eyes, he saw that the people in the hall seemed to have frozen in time and did not move.
The Lord's daughter was still pouting and crying, but her tears were dripping in the air. Chris sneered, revealing two sharp canine teeth.
Grimm turned around and saw the annoying guy at the door casually throw a gold coin behind him, but the gold coin was frozen in the air.
Everyone in the hall seemed to have been frozen in time and space, unable to move.
Huh?
No!
Grimm noticed that there was a table in the corner of the hall with plates on it. The plates were printed with delicate patterns. Commoners could not afford such luxurious plates at all.
There were delicate pastries and fruits on the plates, which were prepared by the Lord of the city for the people who tested the Sorcerer aptitude. However, no one would actually eat them, so they were more decorative than practical.
But at this time, on top of the fruit platter, there were two creatures with colorful tentacles. Their bodies were densely packed with countless eyes, and they were like jellyfish, floating and playing in the air.
This … this is incredible!
What are these things?
Glenn could feel his body trembling. His complexion must be very unsightly. Although he had yearned for the mysterious sorcerer world countless times, the sorcerer world had only opened the tip of the iceberg door to him now, and he felt endless unknown and fear.
This was a different world from the one he knew.
Glenn plucked up his courage and carefully walked toward the two strange unknown creatures. However, just as he approached the table, the two creatures seemed to be frightened and swam to the wall.
At this time, the wall was like a wave, and the two strange creatures easily melted into the wall and disappeared.
Grimm was stunned for a moment by the fact that the two strange creatures disappeared into the wall.
However, because he was close to the table, Grimm suddenly discovered that there were four normal candles on the table, but there was one that seemed very abnormal.
Although there was a burning candle on top of the candle, the candle itself was not an exquisite noble decoration. It was a roasted red pig's head.
Grimm felt a little strange. Why did he feel that the candle was normal when he first saw it, but when he got closer, he suddenly felt that it was contrary to reality?
The strange thing was, the two eyes of the pig's head slowly moved, staring at Grimm, and Grimm's eyes.
A creepy atmosphere filled the air.
"Haha! I have finally broken through to the highest level! The sky! The earth! The dragon! You can't stop me anymore! "
Suddenly, an arrogant laughter sounded in this quiet and somewhat scary world. It was unknown if it was because Grimm's thinking and reaction speed had slowed down, although he felt that it was sudden, he did not feel scared. He turned around to look at the source of the laughter.
It was a novel about a bard that nobles read when they were bored.
The theme of the story was that a poor boy fell in love with a noble lady, but they were obstructed by the other party's family. Then the poor boy worked hard step by step, and after countless opportunities, he finally defeated the world's most powerful evil dragon, proved himself, and married the one he loved.
In general, it was a boring story. There were some illustrations in the novel, which depicted the story of the protagonist defeating evil enemies.
"What … What the hell."
Grimm looked at the novel and stammered.
A paper man was struggling out of the book and slowly stood up. The man had all the organs of a human, and his expression was vivid. He looked around with an exaggerated expression of surprise.
This paper man was the illustration of the protagonist of the novel.
But at this time, although he was not as crude as the novel's illustration, he had a delicate human expression, but this was only his front!
In essence, he was just a thin piece of paper, and the back of it was a book full of words.
"What the hell, where is this? Shouldn't I be a god? "
The paper man shouted in panic and looked around in a daze.
Suddenly, the paper man saw Grimm, and a serious expression appeared on his face. He pulled out a paper sword and pointed it at Grimm.
"Who are you? A god from the Divine Realm? "
"Who are you? A god from the Divine Realm? Who are you? A god from the Divine Realm? Who are you? … "
Suddenly, the cracks on the floor of the hall combined into a long crack. The crack opened and closed like a talking mouth. Although Grimm and the other nobles were standing on the crack, they did not fall into it.
It was as if the mouth was just an illusion, and it was repeating the words of the paper man like a parrot.
Suddenly, a scarlet tongue emerged from the endless black crevice. The tongue came out from under Glenn's feet. Glenn could even clearly see that the tongue was made up of countless tiny snakes wriggling together. Abruptly, it rolled up the little person who was standing on top of the book, who was already stunned.
A series of screams sounded, and the man disappeared into the depths of the crack.
"This can't be real …"
Grimm was stunned, and he trembled on the spot.
Suddenly, the crystal ball on the table emitted a blinding light. At the same time, Grimm was pulled to the side of the crystal ball. The moment his hands touched the crystal ball, the world was no longer frozen, and the voices of the people in the hall entered Grimm's ears.
"12 Spiritual Power. Not bad. Stand behind me."
Grimm raised his head with a pale face, and he stood up numbly and stood behind the wizard.
He raised his head and looked around. All the strange things had disappeared. Even the nobleman who was reading the novel did not have any abnormalities. There was no pig head candle on the table, and the floor was fine. It was as if everything that had just happened was an illusion or a dream.
"Damn it! What kind of luck does this guy have? He has the potential to become a wizard! "
"It's over, it's over! My child bullied him before, and he better not come back for revenge!"
The hall was in an uproar for a moment, but after the wizard snorted, it became quiet again. Beside Grimm, the daughter of the mayor and the son of the owner of Moon Bay, Wayde, looked at Grimm in surprise.
However, when he saw Grimm dressed like a servant, he curled his lips in disdain and did not have the mood to talk.
