"Okay, as it should be." Zooey nodded without thinking, and Seacrest's face changed drastically because of his nod.

"No! You have no right to do this!" Seacrest yelled angrily, "I am the heir of the Lucifer family! I refuse to accept such an unreasonable search!"

"What you said just now is also very unreasonable." Zoe waved her hand indifferently, and the two purple-robed magicians behind her immediately walked over, grabbed Seacrest's arm, and searched his body.

After a while, one of the purple-robed magicians found a small metal box from Seacrest's sleeve.Inside the box were two red candy cubes wrapped in clear icing, and there was an empty slot that obviously should have been left alone.The purple-robed magician put the candy under his nose and smelled it, then immediately sank down, turned around and handed it to Zooey.

"It smells like bloodberry potion, Great Mage Zoe." The purple-robed magician said indifferently.Bloodberry potion is an alchemy potion that can increase mental power in a short period of time to strengthen spellcasting ability, and it is also a taboo potion that is never allowed to be used in this kind of assessment.

Zoe immediately lowered her face, turned her head and said to the other magicians in the mage tower: "I'm sorry, everyone, in view of what you have seen, I have to announce: this assessment is temporarily postponed, we need to conduct a more thorough search."

After finishing speaking, Zooey waved to the two purple-robed magicians, and led the ashen-faced Seacrest up the stairs.

The two mid-level magicians also hurriedly followed, but soon returned to the hall, telling the other magicians participating in the assessment to return to their respective residences temporarily, waiting for the upcoming search and the new assessment time.

Keech immediately stood up and walked out of the mage tower first.

More than an hour later, the branch leader Freud led several senior magicians from the Yalong Empire to the Sage's House and personally presided over the second investigation.

——It took so long to start, even if there was something, it would have been disposed of long ago.

Keech sneered secretly.

After a lot of rummaging, the searchers left the sage's house with another unlucky guy who had taken the forbidden potion before the assessment and Seacrest who was caught on the spot. Zoe came forward again and announced the official The assessment will be postponed for one day and will continue tomorrow.

——Rocky wasn't involved?

Seeing that only Seacrest and another unfamiliar magician left the sage's house, Keech couldn't help being taken aback, but he didn't think too much about it, and only used the surrounding wind elements to cover the doors and windows. A few warning magic circles were placed to prevent Rocky from being framed again, and then he fell on the bed and entered a state of meditation.

The next day, the intermediate magician assessment finally went smoothly. It was still divided into two batches in the morning and afternoon, and the list of personnel for each batch did not seem to have changed.

Keech saw Rocky again in the mage's tower, but Seacrest had disappeared, apparently disqualified from the assessment.

Although Rocky stayed, it could be seen that other magicians were already wary of him, and they all stayed away from him when choosing a seat, which made Rocky feel isolated in a rare way.

But Keech's own situation was not much better. When he sat down in the corner, another magician who was sitting next to him immediately got up and walked away from him. Turning their heads hastily, almost no one dared to meet his gaze.

— did I do something?

Keech thought about it seriously, and felt that he was probably a little rough with Rocky yesterday.A similar thing happened at home before, he beat up Rocky in front of the other kids, and then the other kids reacted like these magicians around him and shunned him.

With a curl of his lips, Kiki closed his eyes and meditated.

The intermediate magician assessment is divided into three stages. The first stage is the ongoing spellcasting assessment. Each magician needs to complete ten intermediate magics with unlimited attributes within the specified time limit. These ten spells must be different from each other. , and the interval between each cast cannot be longer than the specified time limit.

Magicians who pass the spell-casting test can continue to participate in the next written test. The content of the written test is still "The Rules of the Magician", and the assessment method is the same as that of the elementary school. The testers only need to answer one hundred judgment questions related to the "Rules of the Magician" Make a right and wrong judgment, and only those who are 100% correct can be counted as passed.Of course, the complexity of these [-] questions is much higher than the [-] questions in the primary examination. Not only do you need to memorize the "Rules for Magicians", but you also need a considerable degree of logical reasoning ability.

After that, the chief examiner will conduct a re-examination on the magicians who have passed the first two examinations on their spellcasting ability.During the retest, each magician needs to choose one of the four magics of wind, fire, water, earth or the black and white magic of the unnatural department, and then use a lottery to draw five items from all the intermediate magic of the department, and cast them on the spot. The casting interval and total time-consuming also must not exceed the specified time limit.

Similar to the process of the junior magician assessment, the magicians participating in the intermediate assessment enter the examination room one by one, but the difference from the primary assessment is that since there is only one staircase in the mage tower, no matter whether they pass or not, the magician The masters had no choice but to go back the same way and leave the mage tower in full view.

From the interval between their going upstairs and downstairs and their facial expressions, the people below can tell whether they have passed today's preliminary test - the longer they persist, the greater the hope of success - it takes less than 10 minutes Those who come down are undoubtedly losers.

This time, Keech was ranked ahead of Rocky and became the seventh magician to enter the examination room.

The examination room was located on the third floor of the Mage Tower. Like the trial room in Tina's Mage Tower, it had no windows and was lit only by magic lamps. The walls were also carefully decorated with special materials that could absorb magic elements.

There was a row of long tables on the side facing the door, and an older black-robed magician sat behind them. Floyd and the others were all present, but the chief examiner was Zoe from a foreign country.There is also a senior magician in purple robes standing in each of the four corners of the room, obviously playing the role of supervisor.

Keech didn't speak, and after getting permission from the chief examiner Zoe, he recited the incantation directly, and cast the middle-level magic of the water system "Rain of Ice". With the completion of the spell, countless sharp ice picks the size of fingers appeared on Kidge Within about one square meter in front of him, and according to Kiki's spell, he shot at the wall next to him at the same time.

After finishing the spell, Kiki closed his eyes, rested in meditation for three to five minutes as Amir asked before, and then continued to cast the next spell "Ice Armor" to cover his body with thick ice flakes. whole body.

According to this rhythm, Kiki spent about an hour completing ten water-based intermediate spells, then stood up straight, took a deep breath, and looked up at the black-robed magicians in front of him.

The chief examiner Zoe didn't speak directly, but turned around and looked around, seeing that they had no doubts, she smiled slightly and announced to Kiki, "Congratulations on being the first person to pass the preliminary test today, Kiki Magician .”

Kiki bowed slightly, and gave a mage salute to the black-robed magicians in front of him.

"You can go down and rest, Magician Kiki." Zoe, who had "lived" with Kiki in the ruins for half a year, knew that Kiki was quite withdrawn, so she directly asked him to leave the examination room.

Keech immediately turned around, opened the door and walked out.

When going downstairs, he took longer than anyone else before and his calm expression immediately attracted the attention of other magicians, and whispers guessing that he had passed the examination also appeared in the hall.

Keech ignored him and didn't go to see Rocky who was still waiting for the assessment. He walked straight out of the mage's tower and returned to his room.

In view of the number of people who participated in the assessment, Kiqi originally thought that the spellcasting assessment would not end within a day, but until it was completely dark, no one came to announce the postponement of the written examination even though there were lights in the mage's tower.

But when it was time for breakfast the next day, Kiki found that there seemed to be a lot less people in the dining room. After breakfast and entering the Mage Tower, the number of people also did not increase. On the contrary, there were fewer people than in the restaurant. Only thirteen or fourteen.

To Keech's regret, that included Rocky.

But what made Keech even more regretful was that after the day's written test was over, he saw Rocky again in the retest on the third day.

——Yes, that is the smartest youngest son of the Rice family, Rocky. How could he be eliminated by a written test that only needs to judge right or wrong?

Keech lowered his eyelids, trying to clear Rocky from his vision and mind.

Perhaps affected by his mood, when it was Kitch's turn to enter the examination room to cast magic, he almost recited the corresponding spell by mistake.Fortunately, this kind of assessment only looks at the magic effect, and doesn't pay much attention to the spell itself. Amir once told him that if something happens that he can't think of a spell on the spot, he should read it randomly. He blamed it on him, saying that he improved the structure of the spell, optimized its analysis, and so on.

But after casting all the five drawn water spells, Kiki didn't get a statement like approval. Instead, he saw the three great magicians sitting at the long table whispering to each other.

--what happened?

Keech was puzzled and uneasy, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only wait quietly.

The three great magicians didn't make him wait too long, and soon, Zoe in the middle said with a smile, "Are you nervous? Don't worry, you have passed the intermediate magician assessment. You should not be given the qualification to participate in the senior magician assessment at the end of the year."

Keech was taken aback.

But Zooey didn't continue talking, he directly picked up the quill in hand, pulled a piece of parchment covered with handwriting from the side, wrote a few words on it, and then took the parchment from the Stand up on the chair.

As Zooey stood up, several other magicians also stood up and walked to the table together.A purple-robed magician also stepped forward holding a stack of blue magic robes and stood between Kiki and Zoe.

"Congratulations, Kiki intermediate magician." Zooey patted Kiki on the shoulder, first put the parchment aside, then took the magic robe from the purple-robed magician's hand, and motioned Kiki to change the current green Robe off.

——Finally, I can get rid of this green caterpillar-like color.

Kiki secretly breathed a sigh of relief. According to what Amir had taught him in advance, he took off the magic badge on his chest and handed it to another purple-robed magician who had been waiting there, and then untied the green magic robe on his body. Just throw it on the ground.

Zoe on the opposite side immediately shook off the blue robe in his hand, put it on Kiki, and let him put it on by himself, while he took Kiki's magic badge and recited a spell to it.

Keech couldn't help squinting his eyes, but was disappointed to find that the spell only changed the sun emblem in the middle of the emblem from bronze to silver, and left Zoe's name in the interlayer of the emblem like a signature.

After finishing the badge, Zoe pinned it on Kiki's left chest with her own hands, then picked up the parchment and handed it to Kiki, "In view of your excellent performance in this assessment, we unanimously agree that you will be awarded The reference qualifications for senior magicians, Kiki intermediate magician, as long as you want, you can take this qualification certificate to participate in the senior magician assessment on the island of origin in December this year."

Kiki took the parchment in a daze, not knowing whether to accept or reject it.Neither Amir nor Tina told him why this situation happened. However, since this was a matter in December, it seemed like a good solution to accept it for the time being and bring it back to Amir.

"Congratulations again, Kiki intermediate magician." Zooey smiled slightly, and applauded Kiki together with the magicians in the examination room.

Kiki raised his right hand and put it on the magic badge on his left chest, saluted them as a mage, then picked up the green robe on the ground without saying a word, and walked out of the examination room with the parchment.

In the hall downstairs, five magicians including Rocky were still waiting for the assessment. Seeing Kiki walking down in a blue robe, he couldn't help but have different expressions.

Keech only glanced at Rocky, and when he met his eyes, he received a sneer without any surprise.

It was like this when we were at home. Whenever he did something well and was praised by his parents or Xiu Qi, Rocky would sneer at him like this, and then either push him aside with a better performance, or Using means to make him embarrass and make mistakes, and he suffered a reprimand that was far more intense than praise.

——We have already left home, and it is no longer our parents and Xiuqi who judge us.

Keech withdrew his gaze and walked out of the mage tower without looking back.
