Behind the Magician's Guild building, there was a large open space covered with bluestone slabs. This space was about 100 meters long and wide. Between 50 meters and 100 meters, there was something like a target every 10 meters, which was used to test magic.
All Magicians who came to the Magician's Guild to register had to go through this process. They had to cast a spell here to prove that they were a Magician. At the same time, it was also convenient for the Magician's Guild to assess their rank.
After the group arrived at the edge of the field, Karl turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Respected Mr. Magician, please cast a spell. Any spell will do. If you want to get a higher level Magician's Badge, then use a higher level spell. Please." After saying that, Karl stood to the side and quietly looked at Zhao Hai.
No one knew that although Karl didn't know magic, because he had been in contact with Magicians for a long time, he had a certain understanding of magic. Moreover, he was very sensitive to magic. As long as a Magician used a spell, he would be able to judge the level of the Magician. Eight out of ten times, his judgment would be correct.
The reason why Karl had such judgment was because he had worked in the Magician's Guild for decades. In these decades of work, Karl had slowly summed up a set of methods to judge a Magician's level. Comparing a Magician's control over their own magic, the time they used to cast spells, their proficiency in casting spells, and so on, all of these could reflect a Magician's level.
There were a lot of Magicians who, although their level wasn't low, their fighting strength wasn't proportional to their level. These Magicians didn't have much experience in battles, so when they fought, their ability to respond was insufficient. This could be judged from the time they used their magic and their control over it.
It was by relying on this superb judgment that Karl was able to sit on the throne of the Purcell Duchy's Magician's Guild. One must know that in a large country like the Aksu Empire, the Magician's Guild's head was generally a high level Magician.
When Zhao Hai entered Casa City, Karl had already received the news. When he knew that Zhao Hai was going to register at the Magician's Guild, Karl immediately decided that he would personally receive Zhao Hai. He wanted to see what level Zhao Hai was at.
It had to be recognized that the people of the continent had an instinctive rejection and vigilance towards Black Magicians. The Purcell clan was the same.
However, the information obtained from the Markey Dell clan proved that Zhao Hai's fighting strength was very strong. This made the Purcell clan pay more attention to him. One must know that a magician, no matter what type of magician he was, as long as his level was high enough and his ability was strong enough, he would be put in an important position by the clan. This was because a high level magician was equivalent to a nuclear weapon. This weapon was not necessarily used, its main use was to deter the enemy.
If a famous magician from the continent came to the Purcell Duchy, the Purcell clan would certainly warmly receive him. Even if they couldn't pull that magician into the clan, they would at least have a good relationship with that magician.
However, for Zhao Hai, the Purcell clan took a very calm attitude. They didn't take the initiative to approach Zhao Hai, and they also didn't want to offend him. Even if Zhao Hai's strength was very strong, they still didn't want to get in touch with Zhao Hai without knowing his details.
The Great Clans had a principle when it came to employing people. They put ability as the second priority, and loyalty as the first priority. In this world, there were a lot of people, but there were very few people who were loyal. If your ability was strong, but you always betrayed them, then no one would dare to use you. Just like the Purcell clan, even if you were an 8th Rank Magician, as long as you weren't loyal enough, then they wouldn't use you. They would rather find two loyal 7th Rank Magicians than a disloyal 8th Rank Magician.
Zhao Hai's identity was still a secret. They hadn't found out his details. It was as if he had suddenly popped out of a stone. This made the Purcell clan a bit flinch even if they wanted to win him over.
The Purcell clan's development was very good and very stable. Although Zhao Hai's strength would bring new development to the Purcell clan, Zhao Hai's secret life had always been a sore point for the Purcell clan. The Purcell clan liked Zhao Hai's strength, but they were also afraid that Zhao Hai would become an unstable factor in the Purcell clan.
The Purcell clan had already established their own duchy, so they didn't like to take risks, especially when it came to unstable factors. They didn't like it, so they took a cold approach to Zhao's problem.
Although they took a cold approach to Zhao Hai, it was still necessary to pay attention to him. After all, Zhao Hai was now in Casa City. If he really did something, the Purcell clan's face wouldn't look good.
Zhao Hai didn't think too much about it. Right now, he was really short on money. After registering with the Magician's Guild, he had an income of ten gold coins. This income might not be much for other Magicians, but for Zhao Hai, it was very important. Right now, the entire Buda clan's gold coins added up to less than fifty gold coins. This was equal to increasing his wealth by a fifth.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn't want others to know how strong he was, so that he could get a Senior Magician's badge. Zhao Hai could do this now. As long as he released his undead, he could get a Senior Magician's badge. But that would be too high-profile, and not in line with Zhao Hai's character.
Zhao Hai didn't waste his breath. He didn't chant any spells, so he just held his Magic Staff and tapped it on the ground. Alien then appeared by his side.
Zhao Hai didn't summon too many undead. In any case, he just wanted to prove that he could use magic. Although he only used fake magic, he believed that no one in this world would be able to see through it.
With the appearance of Alien, Karl's eyes widened. He had worked in the Magician's Guild for several decades and had seen countless Magicians use magic. Some of those spells were gorgeous, some were ugly, some took a long time, some took a short time. But Zhao Hai's spell was so short that it was almost unheard of. He just tapped his Magic Staff and the spell was completed? Wasn't this too exaggerated?
Zhao Hai gently touched Alien with his hand. Alien was like a puppy being touched by its owner. It shook its tail wildly and almost hit Karl. Karl was scared and quickly took a few steps back.
Zhao Hai looked at the situation and didn't say anything. He just received Alien. Karl was still in a daze. At this time, Green opened his mouth and said, "Did our family's Mister pass the test?"
Karl recovered and quickly said, "He passed. Respected Mister Magician, this way please." Then he led Zhao Hai and the others back to the lounge.
When Zhao Hai and the others sat in the lounge, Karl immediately apologized and ran away. Before long, he came back with a form and placed it on the table in front of Zhao Hai. Then he said to Zhao Hai, "Respected Mister Magician, this is a form. As long as you fill this form, then all the procedures will be completed. Please."
Zhao Hai took the form and carefully looked at it. He found that the form was very simple. There were only some basic blanks like name, age, gender, and so on.
Zhao Hai nodded and threw the form to Meg. Meg also understood Zhao Hai's meaning. She took the pen that Karl had prepared for them and filled it in.
Karl looked at Zhao Hai's performance from the side. He was complaining in his heart. It wasn't that Magicians had to fill in the form themselves. Most of the Magicians who came to register would fill in the form themselves. This was a sign of respect to the Magician's Guild. In any case, the Magician's Guild was a national organization. Even if Magicians didn't use the Guild, they would still show a little respect. After all, the Guild represented the country.
Karl wanted Zhao Hai to fill in the form himself. He wanted to collect more information about Zhao Hai. One must know that there were already handwriting appraisers in the continent. They could collect all kinds of handwriting and then use it to find people. This was something that could be done in the continent.
Karl wanted Zhao Hai to fill in the form himself and then send it to the Purcell Family to see if they could find clues about Zhao Hai's identity.
However, he didn't expect that Zhao Hai didn't prepare to fill in the form himself. Instead, he asked Meg to fill it in. This caused his plan to fail once again.
This made Karl raise his vigilance towards Zhao Hai to the highest level. In Karl's view, Zhao Hai did all of this deliberately to hide his identity. Such a person was even more dangerous.
Karl also saw that Zhao Hai wasn't very old. Moreover, he gave Zhao Hai the best despicable tea. However, Zhao Hai didn't even touch it. So far, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. This made Karl think that Zhao Hai was hiding something.
In fact, from the very beginning, when Karl saw Zhao Hai, he was constantly observing and probing him. He observed Zhao Hai's attitude towards people and discovered that Zhao Hai might be an orthodox aristocrat. He gave Zhao Hai some tea in order to see what he looked like. However, the result was that Zhao Hai didn't even touch the cup of tea. Karl's plan failed. Zhao Hai didn't speak, so he couldn't hear Zhao Hai's voice. There was no way for him to make other judgments. Now that he was filling in the form, Karl had a very deep impression of Zhao Hai. He felt that Zhao Hai must be a famous person in the continent. However, his reputation wasn't very good, so he tried to hide his identity as much as possible.
But what was Zhao Hai's true identity? Karl couldn't think of anything.
