Time was still ticking away.
After the last Acolyte finished his test, Alaron stood up and looked at the three people behind him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Those who are under 18 and have advanced to a level 1 Acolyte, stand behind me."
As soon as he said this, a ripple passed through the crowd, but not a single person chose to walk over.
Seeing this, Alaron was not surprised. He had only asked casually, and did not have any expectations for these Acolytes.
"You have half a day to move around freely. Come to the ship at night, and we'll set off tonight!"
Araon said expressionlessly as he looked at the figures in the distance. He led his people back to the ship, ignoring the excited and dejected acolytes in front of him.
Seeing Alaron and the others leave, the black-robed Knight also walked into the distance, preparing to guard the ship.
Only now did the Magus families in the distance dare to go forward and find their own Acolytes.
"Adil!" Cydru's excited voice sounded in his ears.
Adil looked up. In the distance, Sidru and Vara quickly rushed to his side. The speed of a Knight was unmistakable at this moment.
The two of them looked excited as they quickly arrived in front of Adil.
They indeed had reason to be excited. As a member of the Farcus Family, Adil's aptitude had really given them a big surprise.
"Let's leave first."
Adil revealed a gentle smile and said to them.
This was indeed not a good place to talk. Cedric looked around and nodded while suppressing the excitement in his heart.
There was still half a day before the ship set off. Under the protection of the surrounding guards, they quickly left and went to their previous residence.
There, Cydru and Vara said many things to Adil.
Only when it was nighttime did they leave their residence and go to the place where the ship was docked.
"Go. Be careful when you get there."
After such a long time, Cydru had calmed down and smiled at Adil, "If Lord Ariel knows about your situation, he'll definitely be happy for you."
"I hope so."
Adil smiled in response.
At the appointed time, the surrounding apprentices began to board the ship.
Seeing this, Adil did not stay where he was and directly followed the crowd.
But after the last apprentice boarded the ship, Arrayon calculated the time and nodded, "Good, no one is late."
"Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ship's door slowly closed. After a while, the ship began to move slowly, heading into the unknown distance.
At this moment, Araon and Chrisu were nowhere to be found. Only a black-robed knight was still there, arranging some trivial matters.
"Andrew, Ciesti, Adil."
He casually mentioned the names of Adil and the other two, then said to the three people standing to the side, "The three of you will live on this floor."
"As for the others, follow me," he said casually, and led the other apprentices to a lower level.
It was obvious that they were allocated according to their potential. Adil and the other two had the highest potential, so they were arranged to live in the middle level of the ship. The other apprentices were arranged to live in the lower level.
As the surrounding apprentices gradually left, only Andrew and Ciesti were left standing next to Adil.
He turned around and gave a gentle smile, looking very amiable, "Hello, I am Adil."
Adil looked at the two people around him and greeted them.
"I know you, a member of the Farcus family."
Seeing Adil's actions, Andrew also smiled. Together with his head of golden hair, he looked very dazzling. "I am Andrew."
"Ciesti."
At the side, Ciesti was expressionless and spoke directly. She had an indifferent feeling, as if she was a thousand miles away from people.
She did not do this on purpose, but it was her nature and habit. Even now, she greeted Adil with the same tone.
Adil did not mind. He had lived three lives, and in terms of experience, he knew that Ciesti was just a little girl. He naturally did not dislike her because of this.
In general, the two of them showed some goodwill towards Adil, a fourth-grade genius, and it was not as difficult to communicate with them as he had imagined.
After talking for a while, Adil had a basic understanding of the two people in front of him.
Andrew was arrogant and conceited, but he was born in the royal family, so he still had the basic etiquette and emotional intelligence of a noble. Now that Adil had taken the initiative to befriend him, he also showed a clear sense of goodwill and tried to rope him in.
Comparatively, Ciesti, who was at the side, was much worse in this aspect. Although she was also born in a big noble family, she was rather slow and unfamiliar with basic interpersonal communication. Not only did she not talk much, her tone was also emotionless when she spoke, making her seem a little quiet.
The three of them talked for a while, then slowly left and returned to their own rooms.
With a creaking sound, the wooden door was gently opened, and the scene inside the room was revealed.
The room was very spacious. Although it was on a ship, the interior decoration was not bad. It was not much different from the environment that Adil lived in before.
Although one would get seasick after sailing on a ship for a long time, the floor that Adil was on was closer to the bottom, so it was not a big problem.
He walked into his room, hung the sword at the side, and directly closed the door.
… …
Half a month later.
In Adil's surprise, the ship gradually stopped at a port.
In the outside world, Araon and Chrisu walked down the ship. It seemed that they were going to test another group of people.
"Are you surprised?"
From afar, Andrew gradually walked over, with a familiar bright smile on his face.
"Although this ship looks normal, it was actually specially made by wizards. It is said that wizards were used when it was built, so the speed of sailing is very fast."
He stood there, thought for a while, and said, "According to our family's records, although we have to stop at various ports along the way, from the time we set out to the final destination, it usually takes less than three months. Now, half a month has passed."
"This is really hard to imagine."
Hearing this, Adil couldn't help but sigh. He was amazed by the wizard's power.
Adil had read in some books that it would take at least three to four years to travel from the original continent to the place where the wizards were.
Although this ship was specially sent by the wizards to receive acolytes, and it was definitely faster than a normal ship, Adil originally thought that it would take at least half a year to arrive. He didn't think that it would only take three months.
This speed was indeed beyond Adil's imagination, and he couldn't help but feel a little interested in researching it.
"Look, another group of acolytes is coming up." Andrew's voice continued to be heard.
Adil looked into the distance. There, a group of acolytes had expressions of nervousness and nervousness. They were waiting there for Araon and the others to be tested, looking exactly the same as before.
"According to my father, the route of the ship that the wizards send to receive acolytes is actually different every year."
Andrew stood on the deck and looked at the acolytes who were being tested in the distance. His eyes revealed a trace of disdain, "Although the fleet comes every year, the route they take is different every year."
"There are a total of three clear routes in this region of the sea. Apart from the continent that we are on, which is one of the fixed strongholds, the other places will only be visited once every three years. "
"In other words, these people in front of us have been waiting here for at least three years."
A trace of disdain and pity appeared in Andrew's eyes as he spoke slowly.
"Since it's like this, why don't the wizards send more ships?"
Standing beside Andrew, Adil was a little confused.
"Because it's not worth it." Andrew shook his head and said, "Adil, the region that we are in is actually called an archipelago in the Magus World."
"In this region of the sea, there are so many small islands that it's impossible to count them all. Even the continent we're on is just a slightly bigger island in the eyes of the Magi."
"In these islands, most of the bloodlines of our noble families are concentrated on those continents. Compared to the countless small islands, we are naturally much stronger."
Saying this, he pointed at the port in the distance and the acolytes, "The acolytes who came to take the test, other than a small number of descendants of the local acolytes who stayed behind, most of them are acolytes selected from ordinary people. They can't compare to us at all."
Hearing this, Adil nodded in understanding.
Compared to the acolytes that appeared in the wizard families, the probability of having acolytes among ordinary people was not only small, but most of them were also extremely weak. They could not compare to the acolytes born in the wizard families in any aspect, so naturally, they were not valued.
In fact, if the ancestors did not have the bloodline of an official wizard, then among the ordinary people, even if they had the qualifications to become a wizard, they would usually only have the qualifications of a first-rate wizard. Second-rate wizards were already at the level of peerless geniuses.
It was almost impossible for a third-rate genius like Andrew to appear.
Thinking about this, Adil looked into the distance.
At this time, Arrayon and Chrissus had already brought people back.
Different from Adil's group, this group of acolytes did not stay for long. After the test, they directly boarded the ship and did not stop at all.
Adil casually looked around.
