Although Suhlen didn't know whether this speculation was reliable or not, the number of awakened sorcerers was indeed most among the nobles, and the number of awakened sorcerers was very few among the commoners. Because most of the sorcerers were born in the nobles, some busybodies called sorcerers tall, rich, and handsome.
Indeed, the appearance of sorcerers was basically on the standard line, and in the early stage, sorcerers were much more comfortable than wizards. Their spells came from their blood, and they didn't need to learn as hard as wizards. This kind of treatment was naturally hated.
Sorcerers had the advantage in the early stage. Not only could they use spells, but they were also not weak in close combat. Most sorcerers had excellent swordsmanship, after all, they didn't know many spells in the early stage.
But in the later stage, the positions between sorcerers and wizards were reversed. Sorcerers only knew the spells in their blood, while wizards only needed to learn. The spells they knew were several times more powerful than sorcerers, and the spells they knew were also much more powerful. In comparison, sorcerers were much worse. Especially when one knew the sorcerers' blood, the spells they knew could be completely deduced.
Others could totally target them based on these spells, so there was no future for sorcerers alone.
After figuring out the problem of sorcerers, Suhlen issued a new order, extending the age range to 18 years old. After the order was issued, the Northern Town was once again in an uproar. The news of the Sorcerer-Apprentice recruitment had already spread throughout the town. Many people over the age of twelve were heartbroken. Now that there was suddenly news that the age limit could be extended to eighteen, countless people cheered.
Suhlen's territory had a population of more than 100,000, and the North Town alone had a population of more than 100,000. Excluding the older and younger ones, there were more than 20,000 people. More than 20,000 children between the ages of 8 and 18 were all selected. With so many people, naturally, they wouldn't be tested together. Otherwise, even if three people didn't eat and sleep, they wouldn't be able to complete this task in a short period of time.
Therefore, there was no aptitude test today. All the children who came were divided into groups according to their age. Then, according to the groups, the children of each age group were divided into groups. Then, according to the groups, the basic officials of the entire North Town were called to carry out this task.
After spending an entire day, everyone was given their number plates. Next, the testing time for their number plates was announced.
In the next few days, the children who participated in the wizard aptitude test would be tested in batches according to their ages. These children were all between eight and twelve years old. After the wizard aptitude test, they still needed to participate in the sorcerer aptitude test.
The children participating in the Warlock test were also tested in order of age. The first to be tested was when they were 18 years old. At this age, they only needed to test their Warlock aptitude, and because they had exceeded the wizard age requirement, they only needed to be tested once.
Similarly, because the Warlock's blood meridians began to awaken at the age of 14, those children under the age of 14 had to be tested once a year before reaching the age of 14, and after the age of 14, they only needed to be tested once.
To test these people, Hathaway made 20 crystal balls. These crystal balls could test the power of the will of the children. Only those who met the standard could become wizards.
Suhlen selected a large number of people from the half-elves and the harpies to test these children. Hathaway's school of wizardry had been around for a long time, so there was a rough probability of success in the wizard aptitude test.
The probability of a human with the power of the will to become a wizard was not high. It was about one in a thousand. This time, there were only three to four thousand children between the ages of eight and twelve in the northern city, so there were only a few children with the power of the will to become a wizard.
After a week of testing, the thousands of children between the ages of eight and twelve had all been tested. In the end, only four people passed the test, two boys and two girls. After passing the test, a low-level official immediately went to inform the children's families, and then brought them to the city lord's mansion.
Aptitude was not the only thing to become an apprentice wizard. Suhlen didn't want the wizards he trained to be taken advantage of by others, so before training them, they had to sign a strict contract. The contract stated that after becoming an official wizard, they would have to work in the northern city for a hundred years. After a hundred years, they would regain their freedom, and then they could decide whether they wanted to stay or not.
During these hundred years, the northern city would provide some resources according to the wizard's rank. If a wizard advanced during this period, they would have to sign a new contract with the northern city.
Other than that, there were also hundreds of clauses in the contract that completely blocked all loopholes. Of course, Suhlen had asked the little succubus Chrissy to help him make this contract.
As one of the few demons that liked to play tricks, succubi were more like devils than those demons that liked to kill. After the contract made by Kris was completed, Su Lun let the four little guys with wizard talent sign the contract.
At the same time, he also made arrangements for their families. Like the lord's guards, these people were moved to the inner city of the northern city, near the lord's mansion.
At the same time, the sorcerer test was also going on. In comparison, the sorcerer test was simpler than the wizard test. The people who took the test were very honest. Karina and Grace found some drows and half-elves to do the test.
The probability of awakening a sorcerer's bloodline was not much higher than those who had the aptitude to become a wizard. Of course, if the sorcerer test was done for nobles, the probability would be about one in two hundred. Although it was still very low, it was already five times higher than the sorcerer test.
However, if the test was done for commoners, the probability of awakening a sorcerer's bloodline was only one in two thousand, or even lower. The sorcerer test took two whole weeks. This time, they found a total of eight children who had awakened a sorcerer's bloodline. The oldest was already 16 years old, and the youngest was only 12 years old.
There were no other nobles in the northern city, so Suhlen was very happy to find 12 sorcerers among the commoners. At the same time, Suhlen took out the contract made by Kris and asked all the children to sign it.
The 16 sorcerer apprentices were all asked to go to Hathaway's lab to study. They would receive all kinds of basic education in the first year. After all, they were not nobles and had no money to learn, so they would first take a year of cultural classes.
During this year, not only did they have to learn the human language, but they also had to learn the Sorcerer language. They also had to learn all sorts of problems that could arise when casting spells. After a year of learning, they would have to teach Sorcerer spells in the second year.
At the same time, they also began to learn meditation.
Sorcerers and wizards were different. Not all sorcerers could take on the role of a wizard. Only those who had the same talent of the spirit could do so. Of course, once you reached the fourth grade, you could try to learn meditation.
Of course, in this case, sorcerers could only learn spells that were similar to their bloodline. As for spells that were not compatible with their bloodline, they would not be able to learn them.
For example, if a sorcerer awakened fire spells, he would not be able to learn water spells in his lifetime. He would only be able to learn fire spells.
The first batch of sorcerers and sorcerers apprentices in the northern city were very lucky. After all, their mentors included a level four wizard and two level four sorcerers. Other wizard organizations did not have such good treatment.
Under normal circumstances, low-level wizards like level one wizards were responsible for teaching sorcerers apprentices. However, the northern city's conditions were a little special. Hathaway was the only wizard in the entire northern city, so Hathaway, Karina, and Grace had to teach them personally.
Suhlen went to the underground world every day. With the teleportation circle, it was much more convenient to go there. Crete was under construction. During this time, Kris had plundered a large number of slaves from the surrounding areas. With the addition of many slaves, the construction of Crete was very fast.
Due to the location of the city, Crete was not very big. Now, all the gray dwarves had gone to the nearby mines to excavate. Every day, large amounts of obsidian were sent to the northern city. The obsidian was then used in the construction of the wizard tower.
Kris was becoming more and more like a dungeon lord. She was a succubus, a minotaur slave, a gray dwarf slave, a kobold goblin, and a cave dweller. In addition, she had a city under construction. She was the perfect candidate for a dungeon lord.
In addition to Crete, Suhlen also went to Orlando, another gray dwarf city. Orlando was now one of the most important cities in the northern city. Mithril was found in the silver mines there. During this time, they had mined a total of eighteen pounds of Mithril. Suhlen had a plan for this Mithril.
The Mithril was prepared for the wizard tower. In fact, it was only in the hands of a wizard that Mithril could unleash its full potential. In addition to its strong magic conductivity and magic compatibility, Mithril was also very durable and light.
In many stories told by bards, the protagonists would often complain about equipment made of mithril. Mithril was a lightweight metal, and its weight was only about a quarter of that of steel. It was also extremely tough, and ordinary weapons could not do any damage to mithril. At the same time, it had a high resistance to spells.
Therefore, there were often legends about Mithril being as light as a feather, invulnerable to weapons, and immune to magic. In fact, it was the most extravagant and wasteful thing to do to make armor out of Mithril. Wizards had many alloys that could achieve the same effect as Mithril. There was no need to use precious Mithril for such things.
