After three days of regular exams, the weather was unusually gloomy. It was drizzling, and it was even slightly chilly.
"Donnie, how did the exams go?" On the square of the Mills Noble School, Sammy asked Donnie next to him while waiting for the sorcerers to arrive. In the past few days, he had finished his exams in advance. Neither the subjects such as magic construction and arcana theories, nor the casting test could stop him from returning to his dormitory for a good sleep.
Looking at the busts of the most distinguished graduates of the Mills Noble School on the square, Donnie tried to be relaxed but still said nervously, "It's more or less a normal performance. I've talked with other people, and they should be qualified to enter the Heidler Magic College. Now, it's time to see the content of the additional exam. What about you?"
In the early morning, Sammy was in good spirits. He yawned and said comfortably, "At least you didn't lose your standard. That's enough for me."
He did not ask Donnie about the exam, because when he was in the school of Nature's Heart, he knew that he was not as good as Donnie even in the theories and magic analysis about necromancy. Only because of the ghost behind him, he was better than Donnie in terms of casting speed, magic effects, cross-level casting, and special abilities.
The apprentices on the square were sprinkled like hair, but they did not hide in the teaching building, because in their knowledge, the sorcerers of the school of necromancy were relatively eccentric and gloomy. Whether it was the sacred medical field or the study of body structure related to necromancy, anything that dealt with life, death, body, and soul always gave people a feeling of mystery and admiration.
"Jane Heinrich Hunt, female Count, famous mathematician, astrologer …" Sammy read the words below the busts in front of him softly and smiled. "They only mentioned mathematics without mentioning the lady's arcana and magic level. It seems that she is not very strong. She might not even be higher than the middle rank. She should be a lady who focuses on pure mathematics."
"What's so strange about that? Mr. Longman only became an official sorcerer the year before last, but it didn't stop him from being one of the top twenty mathematicians in the past decade. He solved quite a few mathematical conundrums that Mr. Evans raised." Donnie said rather reverently, "Although Mr. Longman's magic talents are unremarkable, he has received abundant resources with his great contributions in the field of mathematics. He has modified himself step by step and made up for the gap. We are more talented than him in the first place. How can we give up so easily? This lady should be in a similar situation, and she seems to be a great noble, the female Count of the Heinrich family … "
Sammy nodded slightly. "Yes. Besides, with the development of 'artificial intelligence', it has boasted a terrifying computational ability. It has given opportunities to many people who are not talented in magic but are talented in mathematics or theoretical arcana. With the help of artificial intelligence, their shortcomings have been made up as much as possible."
"I want to have an 'artificial intelligence' as well. That would save me a lot of tedious calculations..." Donnie said with a sigh. "Hmm, the surname Hunter..."
His voice suddenly became louder. "I remember now! This lady should be Mr. Ali Hunter's wife. "
Ali Hunter was also an inspirational name among the ordinary people and the magic apprentices. He was also not talented in magic, and his mathematical and theoretical arcana studies were not very outstanding either. So far, he was only a level-one arcanist and a second-circle sorcerer.
However, when artificial intelligence was first developed, he made his first bucket of gold with his keen intuition. Later, he was supported by some werewolves and became their spokesperson. His small company was expanded into the fields of magic communicators, wired telephones, broadcasting, satellite applications, werewolf security, mercenary dispatching, and so on. He was one of the richest people in the entire Holm Empire.
What was most enviable was that he later married Miss Jane from the Heinrich family, and he got rid of his image as a nouveau riche. Since then, he had the support of the great nobles and no longer relied solely on the werewolves.
For the ordinary people, it was almost the most desirable life template. Although Mr. Evans' experience was more unbelievable, legendary, and admirable, it was still too unbelievable! Anybody who heard it and measured themselves would feel that they could never achieve it. Ali's experience, on the other hand, seemed to be more about luck and the opportunities brought by the torrents of the times. He might have such a day.
By then, with the resources brought by money, he would be able to grasp the amazing magic power too!
"Wow. So, it's her. In fact, anyone who has a statue here can't be bad." Sammy remarked in an exaggerated tone. Then, he looked at the clock on the magic experiment tower and asked in confusion, "It's almost eight. Why hasn't the exam started yet?"
Donnie also felt that it was weird. The College Entrance Exam of Advanced Magic was a serious examination conducted under the joint attention of the royal family of Holm, the cabinet, and the Committee of Arcana and Magic Education of the Congress of Magic. There shouldn't be any major accidents.
At this moment, a dozen sorcerers flew out of the school building with gloomy faces. Some of them were wearing tight suits or long gowns in the style of Holm, and some were wearing long classical magic robes.
"They're finally here." Donnie was greatly relieved.
The leading sorcerer in the black long gown said in a low voice, but it was loud enough for everybody to hear, "Those whose last number is even, follow the sorcerer on my left for additional tests in the fields of souls, ghosts, and ghosts. Those whose numbers are odd, follow the sorcerer on my right for additional tests in the fields of body structure, corpse assembly, and undead summoning. You will switch with each other in the afternoon. Don't try to ask each other about the content of the exam, because the content in the morning and the content in the afternoon will be different."
Donnie patted Sammy's shoulder. "I'll be leaving now."
He knew that Sammy's last number was even, and his was odd.
"You will definitely succeed!" Sammy put on a rare, brilliant smile on his face that was always in a daze. He waved his right fist.
Donnie waved his fist back with a smile too.
After passing through the first teaching building, the sorcerers left with their apprentices one after another. So, the crowd was getting thinner and thinner. In the end, Donnie even felt the long-lost quietness, as if he could hear the birds singing happily in the shade of the trees.
Suddenly, he saw that in front of a building that looked like a magic tower, there was a group of people wearing black coats. They were blocking the area with alchemy barriers.
"Someone from Granling Street?" Donnie's heart skipped a beat. Did something really happen?
Granlin Street was the headquarters of the Holm Empire Police Department, which meant the police force.
Then, he saw two middle-aged men wearing black scepter badges walking out of the building.
"Sorcerers from the Disciplinary Department of the Congress? They're here? "Donnie's pupils constricted a bit. The Disciplinary Department was responsible for the internal discipline and investigation of sorcerers.
The necromancer at the front led the apprentices to the side, allowing the two mages from the Disciplinary Department to pass first.
"… The cause of death was sudden cardiac arrest. The victim had a rather serious heart problem …" A blond-haired sorcerer from the Disciplinary Department talked to his partner while walking.
His partner nodded and said, "It's probably because the virtual adventure game was too exciting. The illusion triggered a tremendous secretion of hormones, which caused the sudden heart problem of the deceased. I didn't know that Ms. Heidi's artificial intelligence could cause such a death after combining illusions. Sigh. The Affair Committee and the Magic Research Committee have an excuse to stop such projects."
"Hehe … He didn't even know what was going on with his body. He deserved to die …"
Hearing the conversation between the two sorcerers from the Disciplinary Department, Donnie couldn't help but think, "A game based on artificial intelligence? Arcana Voice and TV shows have both mentioned it before. But it can make a sorcerer die? That's really unexpected … "
"Is it a conspiracy?"
As a young man who was familiar with many legendary stories and loved exploration and adventure programs, Donnie was a standard "conspiracy theorist."
However, the accident did not bother Donnie for long, because the additional test of the school of Necromancy was about to begin. Everything else had to be put aside.
They entered a cold and gloomy magic tower. At this moment, an elegant black-haired girl walked in from the side door.
"So beautiful …" Although Donnie was worried about the exam, he couldn't help but be awed by the girl's beauty. She had short hair, but it couldn't hide her pure beauty. Her nose was small, her lips were slightly pouted, and her temperament was gentle and refined, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
Suddenly, the girl's hazy silver-purple eyes became sharp. Everybody who was stared at by her subconsciously avoided her eyes. In the meantime, she was wearing a simple black suit, trousers, and a bow tie of the same color … Huh, why was she dressed like a man? Wait, she had an Adam's apple! No, it should be him!
Boom!
Donnie felt that his head was humming. The "girl" who was more beautiful than all the ladies he had ever seen was a man!
Many apprentices coughed nonstop. They were choking on their saliva.
"Enter your test room according to your test serial number," the necromancer said casually. The necromancer with gray hair said casually, "The test content is to identify which magic creature the materials in the room are from and which part they are from. Then, you will design and create a sutured corpse. You can keep the materials, but you can't take them away without permission."
Donnie shuddered and got rid of his frustration. He quickly found his "laboratory", and the young man happened to be in the room next to his.
