Three days later, Keech dragged his exhausted body and moved into the sage's house on the north side of the association full of depression—tired because he consumed too much energy while making the wand, and depressed because Amir confiscated him. A microphone for communicating with Hill.

It seemed that he expected Kiki to have a problem. Before leaving, Amir personally searched Kiki’s luggage and searched him. megaphone.Then, Amir not only took away the megaphone, but also gave Kiki a hard reprimand for it.

"You are not allowed to bring 'any' magic weapon, don't you understand?!" Amir who was training people was even more annoyed than Kiki who was being trained, "If you lose the qualification for the assessment because of such a small thing, do you think someone will listen to you? ?!"

Keech was annoyed by the training, but he also knew that it was really wrong for him to bring the microphone.

——Forget it, it's only been a month, it's okay if I haven't contacted you for the past six months!

While comforting himself, Keech secretly felt strange that he didn't miss Hill so much after being separated for so long before, but now that he has been unable to contact Hill for only a month, he actually finds it intolerable.

But no matter what Keech thinks, he will spend a full 30 days in the Sage's House, and with him, there are dozens of junior magicians who also participated in the assessment.The number of people participating in the intermediate magician assessment is several times higher than that of the junior magician assessment, and the age span has also become extremely large. There are not only minors like Keech, but also over half a century old like Great Magician Floyd. of.Most of them are not participating in the assessment for the first time, and some of them participate every year and suffer setbacks every year.

Since the Magic Association only limited the date and did not make more detailed regulations on the specific time of moving in, when entering the house of the sage, Kiki did not see too many junior magicians participating in the assessment. After the guard signed and left his name, he walked towards the hut where he was going to live under the guidance of an apprentice.

Although the name of this place is "Sage's House", it is actually a courtyard surrounded by several two- to three-story houses, surrounded by a circle of fence walls, and in the middle is a three-story building. mage tower.

Kiki was assigned to the second floor of a two-story house. According to Amir, this was the best room Tina had obtained for him with her privileges. It was bright and quiet.However, there were too many people participating in the assessment, and Keech got the best room, but he did not get the privilege of exclusive use of this room, and the person who lived with him was Seaclair, who had met once in the junior magician assessment. Stuart Lucifer.

Seeing Seacrest, Keech couldn't help but think of Moriarty.But after taking a closer look, Keech found that the two did not have much alike, even the degree of curly hair was quite different.In addition, Moriarty's appearance is too unique, and his temperament is even more unique, far from being able to compare with this young man who is about the same age as him.

"I remember you, Rocky's brother, right?" Seacrest greeted Kiki after entering the door.

Keech hesitated for a moment, and asked back, "Rocky is here too?"

"Of course, with his talent, how could he be absent? Although he has only studied magic for two years, his control over magic is stronger than many old magicians." Seacrest said without any hesitation. He looked at Kiki undisguisedly, "Obviously, you are a genius just like him."

—Maybe he should say thank you for the compliment.

Keech thought about it, but didn't speak, glanced at Seacrest and ignored it.

But Seacrest was very interested in him, walked up to him enthusiastically, and continued to ask, "Do you know my uncle, Marquis Moriarty Lucifer? At the anniversary dinner, I saw you leave the hall together."

Kiki, who was already annoyed by his croaking, immediately turned around when he heard the name Moriarty, and asked coldly, "Can you shut up?"

Seacrest was taken aback by the question, as if he never thought Keech would speak to him in this manner.

Keech ignored him, picked up the unopened suitcase, turned around and walked out of the room, came to the sign-in area at the courtyard gate, and asked to change the room.

It seems that Keech is not the first magician to ask to change the room. A mid-level magician quickly came over and asked Keech the reason for changing the room and the location of his room.

"Roommates are too loud," Keech said bluntly, pointing out where his room was.

Hearing the location of the room, the intermediate magician was stunned for a moment, looked Kiki up and down, turned around and picked up the roster, looked through it, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid we can't give you a better room than that, Kiki Wizard."

"I don't need to be better, I just want to be quiet." Keech said with a straight face.After hanging out with Tina for half a year, he has somewhat understood the use of privileges. Although Hill's way of elevating power is difficult to achieve, it is extremely easy to imitate Tina's fox-like power.

The mid-level magician obviously also knew Kiki's background, so he didn't say a word, just let Kiki wait for a while, and then went to the side with the roster to sketch.After a while, he walked back to Kiki, and said with a smile: "There is a room, which is a bit dark, but the advantage is that you don't need a roommate, is that okay?"

"Okay." Kitty nodded.

The magician immediately raised his hand to call an apprentice who was helping here, and led Keech to his new house.

The new room is in the opposite direction from the original one, the location is indeed not as good as the original one, and the room is quite small, but in this room, no roommate can disturb Keech, and the other magicians who are in the same room but not in the same room They are also the taciturn kind, and they do not disturb each other, which makes Kiki very satisfied.

After this little episode of Seacrest, Keech's life has completely calmed down.It's just that the courtyard of the Sage's House is small, and Keech inevitably met Rocky and Seacrest again in the dining room, but Ram, who participated in the junior magician assessment with them last year, was not here Appear.

This time, Seacrest did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation with Keech, and passed by like a stranger.Rocky glanced at Keech, gloating on his face, as if Keech would be in bad luck if he offended Seacrest.

Seeing Rocky, Kidge couldn't help thinking of the scene of Sirius shooting Filian again, and subconsciously substituted himself and Rocky into it, but before he could think about it, Xiu Qi's warning popped into his head Come out, forcing Keech to put aside all the pictures that made him feel a little itchy.

——When he doesn't exist, when he doesn't exist.

While meditating, Kiki walked to the corner of the restaurant with a plate, put down the plate, picked up a knife and fork, and Rachel's figure suddenly came into view not far away.Keech didn't look around deliberately, but Rachel was looking at him so fiercely that he couldn't ignore it.

——Didn't she just talk back to her during the assessment last year? She's really a vengeful woman.

Kitsch pouted, ignored it, lowered his head, and started eating on his own.

The 30 days was not as long as Kitch thought. Unknowingly, after repeated sunrises and sunsets, the official assessment day finally arrived.

Because of the large number of people, the assessment was divided into two sessions in the morning and afternoon, and the location was in the mage tower in the middle of the courtyard.

Perhaps the people who participated in the assessment for the first time were arranged in the morning. When Keech walked into the mage tower, he didn't see Rachel, but saw Rocky and Seacrest.

Keech glanced at them, and then acted as if he hadn't seen them, and sat in the corner by himself.But not long after he sat down, Rocky took the initiative to come over, sat beside him, and greeted with a smile: "How are you lately, Brother Keech?"

Kitsch glanced at Rocky sideways, but didn't respond, just narrowed his eyes and became habitually alert.

"You should be living well, right? I heard from the great magician of Summerhaile that although your mentor is only an intermediate magician, she is the daughter of the great magician Fernando and the niece of the great magician Floyd." Rocky will The voice was so low that Kiki could hear it, and he said jokingly, "I really didn't expect that with my brother's appearance, there would be a day of being a bad guy!"

——What kind of trick do you want to play again?

Keech listened calmly. Rocky never did anything aimless. It sounded like he wanted to irritate him, but what happened after he was irritated?What benefit can he get?

Seeing that Keech still ignored him, Rocky continued calmly: "Brother, how did you get that lady's heart? Everyone says she is a weird person, arrogant and difficult to please."

As he said that, Rocky suddenly leaned over and put his body next to Kidge's ear, and said word by word: "It's not that the lady has any special hobbies, for example, she likes to please you in bed, right? Or, Some more fun tricks?"

Keech didn't quite understand what these words meant, he just knew that he was definitely not saying anything good, and what caught his attention even more was the small gesture that Rocky used to cover up with these words—the things he put in his pocket.

——Sure enough, playing the same old trick again.

Keech couldn't help curling his lips, squinting his eyes, and calmly used his supernatural ability to quietly stuff Rocky into his pocket to destroy the body.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my brother's temper has improved a lot!" Rocky retracted his body with a smile, "Who trained you? Your Miss Tutor? I heard that she likes to accept trash like you the most. I also took in a dumb woman who couldn't even recite spells..."

"Rocky." Keech interrupted Rocky's provocation, and said as he wished, "You may not know, or, don't remember, although the "Magician Code" prohibits magicians from killing without reason, it does not prohibit unprovoked killings. Fighting—even during the assessment."

Rocky was taken aback by Kidge's words, but before he could respond, Kidge raised his finger, pointed at his neck, and said a very short incantation coldly.

For a split second, Rocky felt a chill on his neck, and then he could no longer make any sound. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, and suddenly found that a lump of icicles appeared on his neck, tightly surrounding the whole body from the inside to the outside. neck.

Rocky immediately jumped up in horror and knocked over the tables and chairs beside him vigorously.

Keech didn't move, just looked at him coldly.

Seacrest, who had been watching them from the other side, stood up, called Rocky's name loudly, and called the guard on duty at the door.

Two middle-level magicians in blue robes ran in immediately. After seeing Rocky's situation, they didn't dare to act rashly. One stayed on the spot to inquire about the situation, while the other quickly ran up the stairs, apparently looking for a higher-level magician. The magician asked for help.

"What's going on?" the mage who stayed behind asked.

Keech still sat there expressionless, not saying a word.Rocky showed a hurt expression that wanted to speak but couldn't.Seacrest seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally said: "Rocky said he wanted to dissuade his brother from cheating in the exam, and then...then..."

"Cheating?" The remaining magician immediately raised his eyebrows vigilantly.

"Slander," Keech interrupted suddenly.

"Even if it's slander, you can't hurt people, right?!" The magician immediately frowned.

"But there's no rule against me, is there?" Keech asked coldly.Before coming here, Amir had told him the rules of the assessment several times, and even helped him rehearse all kinds of incidents that he might encounter, what he could do and what he couldn't do, so that Kiki knew clearly.

The magician was speechless for a moment. Just as he was hesitating what to do, a black-robed magician followed the middle-level magician who had gone upstairs just now, and two purple-robed magicians followed behind him.

——It turned out to be the great magician Zoe.

Keech froze for a moment.According to the rules, a high-level magician from a foreign country will be appointed as the chief examiner for the qualification examinations above the intermediate level. Great Mage Zoe is far more familiar with Floyd, the sub-guild leader of Yaron.

The magician who stayed below reported what he already knew to Zoe and asked him to undo the magic for Rocky, but Zoe turned to look at Kiki and said flatly: "I believe that a person who can There is absolutely no need for a magician who uses magic so exquisitely to cheat in a mere intermediate assessment—but, to be fair, please allow us to conduct a body search on you to set the record straight, okay?"

"Please." Kiki shrugged disapprovingly, got up and walked towards Zoe.

"Before then, please remove the magic from this Rocky magician—are you brothers?" Zooey raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Unfortunately, yes." Kitsch curled his lips, raised his hand and snapped his fingers in the direction of Rocky. The ice cube on Rocky's neck immediately shattered and melted into ice water quickly.

"Your mentor will be proud of you." Zoe pointedly raised the corners of her mouth, and asked a purple-robed magician behind her to search Kiki, while arranging for people to lift Rocky out of the mage tower. And explained to him kindly, "No matter what the reason is, it is not suitable for you to stay here to take the assessment now-please rest assured, I am not disqualifying you for the assessment, I just transferred your assessment time to the afternoon, now , let’s cultivate in peace for now.”

After dealing with Rocky, Zooey turned to look at the purple-robed magician who searched Kiki. The purple-robed magician immediately shook his head at him, expressing that he found nothing.

"That's impossible!" Seacrest yelled in disbelief, "He...he has candy mixed with bloodberry potion on him! Rocky and I both saw it!"

"Besides all eyes, Magician Seacrest, we just searched the body of Magician Kiki, and we didn't see the candy you mentioned." Zoe raised her chin in displeasure, "And now, I can't find it." A second search of the Keech wizard for any reason."

"I request a body search of this Seacrest magician." Keech interjected lightly, "because of his slander."
