Chapter 47: The Wizard of Toins
Chapter 47: The Wizard of Toins
The ship was about to dock and reach its destination, but someone created trouble. It was really courageous of him.
On the deck, everyone's eyes were attracted by Roseside.
Ivan frowned. He was aware of the look Rosede gave him just now, but he didn't care much. He didn't expect the other party to jump out. He hated this kind of behavior of looking for trouble.
The gray-robed man turned around with an interested smile on his face.
"explain."
Roside pointed his finger and said, "He, Evan Marichatton, directly used my name Roside to deceive this lord. It's clear that he has bad intentions."
The little green-winged snake flapped its wings vigorously and quickly came to Ivan: "Your name is not Roseside?"
Ivan didn't want to offend the wizard's familiar, so he explained, "Rosaid is my other name, a nickname. Who says a person can't have two names? It's just like a ship."
"Makes sense."
The little green-winged snake nodded seriously.
The Swamp Spade below is also called the Lar. If a ship can have two names, there is no reason why humans cannot have two.
This was obviously nonsense. Others couldn't help laughing when they heard it, but no one dared to expose it.
When Roside saw that he was relieved, he quickly said the second thing: "Sir, you once hunted down and killed a fugitive slave, the lame pharmacist. He had a close relationship with that man and was actually that man's student."
The student relationship was his guess, but he didn't know he had hit the mark.
Just as the man in gray was about to say something, the boat under his feet shook violently and docked.
"Wizard Toins, why did you come here in person?"
The little green-winged snake spotted a figure walking towards the boat. It turned out to be its own wizard. It immediately flew over without caring about anything else.
The gray-robed man Ecks didn't pay any attention to what was happening. He turned around and jumped over the guardrail and jumped off the boat. He quickly walked up to the wizard and took off his hat to salute him:
"Greetings to you, respected mentor."
Wizard Toins asked: "Ekz, you are late."
This simple question made Ekz's body tremble, and he hurriedly explained: "Teacher, I am injured. The nobles have been slow to select people, so I have to wait a few more days."
"So you were injured, are you okay now?"
"All right."
"Remember next time, don't let me, your mentor, wait for you."
"Yes."
In front of Wizard Toines, Ekz is like a good boy.
Not far away, Ivan and his companions also jumped off the boat one by one and landed on the island's simple dock, where there was only one ship, the Lar.
When they saw Ekz's true appearance under his hood, they found a black python head behind his neck, which shocked many people.
"Children, come here."
Glancing at the team of only eight people, a hint of anger flashed in Toins' eyes, and he waved to the teenagers.
Eight young men approached quickly.
Toins was also wearing a long robe, the material of which was obviously more expensive. He had white hair, and his face and figure looked like a middle-aged man. He looked gentle and bookish. If you didn't know that he was a wizard, you would definitely think he was a great scholar with a wealth of knowledge.
Ivan and the others were very uneasy, having heard about what had happened to the previous batch of apprentices.
"My children, I am the Wizard of Toynes."
"Wan'an, Lord Toins."
"Hahaha, after I test and enlighten you, you will be my disciples. Remember to call me 'mentor' then."
Facing the eight young men with wizarding qualifications who came from afar, Wizard Toins' attitude was particularly gentle, which calmed the boys' uneasy hearts a lot. However, Ivan still remained skeptical and vigilant.
Following Wizard Toins and the little green-winged snake, the eight teenagers walked towards the depths of the island.
This is an island with little vegetation. There are many rocks on the island, and trees only appear deep in the island.
After about ten minutes' walk, they arrived in front of a castle.
Ivan compared it and found that this castle was about five or six times larger than the Black Pine Castle, and the outer wall was two meters higher. There was fog floating outside the island and clouds covering the sky, making the island and the castle look lifeless.
The inside of the castle was no different from any other noble castle. As we went deeper into the castle, we encountered no other apprentices wearing special robes except for a few followers.
"Children, let me test your qualifications. Who will go first?"
Arriving at the main hall in the central area, Wizard Toins went straight to the point. He took out a pure and crystal clear crystal ball. The crystal ball was light ink-colored, which just added a touch of mystery to it.
Laurie stepped forward again: "I'll do it."
Others lined up consciously.
The testing process was no different from that of Baron Carl. All he had to do was put his hand on the crystal ball, calm his distracting thoughts, and try his best to look inside the crystal ball. Laurie did as he was told.
He looked dazed, as if he was on the sea again, with water flowing under his feet, yellow dust floating around him, and thin black smoke above his head.
"Third level wizard talent, close to water, earth, and shadows, mainly water energy."
Baron Carl's crystal rod has an upper limit, while Toins' crystal ball test is more detailed.
Laurie heard the wizard's verdict, from second grade to third grade, and also detected earth and shadow attribute affinity. The situation was better than before, but it was far from the highest fifth grade he had imagined in his mind. He was not very happy.
To other teenagers, this was exciting news.
The next person to be tested was Charlene.
"Second-level wizard talent, close to water and earth, mainly water energy."
It was not much different from the previous test. The enthusiastic Charlene was like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Next, Fink, Green, and Fern were all second-class talents, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
When it was Thomson's turn, he stepped forward awkwardly and carefully placed his hand on the wizard's crystal ball. He had previously tested to be a first-class talent, and he hoped that there would be something wrong with Baron Carl's crystal wand test.
"First level, close to earth and water, mainly earth energy."
Thomson's expectations were not met, and he remained at the lowest level of wizard talent.
The gentle smile on Wizard Toins' face disappeared.
Ivan stepped forward and stood in front of Toins, feeling a little scared. He forced himself to calm down and not think too much before putting his hand on him.
Unconsciously, his thoughts fell into a state of emptiness. When he saw clearly what was in front of him, he couldn't help but straighten his body and put more effort on his feet. At this moment, he was standing on a century-old tree. There was a flaming cloud above his head, and the light made the old tree glow red.
"Third-level wizard talent. Close to plants, fire, and water. Main plant energy."
Toines gave him an appreciative look, and Ivan stepped aside in a trance.
Third-rate talent, not bad, he muttered to himself.
The last one is Jiushiti, who still has second-class talent, mainly focusing on water energy, followed by thunder and earth.
Wizard Toins summoned a cloud servant and asked the cloud servant to take the boys to see his residence.
After the boys left, Toins looked at the little green-winged snake with a stern gaze.
"Lal, this is the person you brought back. Are you willing to complete the task I assigned to you?"
Wizard talents are divided into five levels, with fifth level being the highest. Eight people cannot make up one top-level one. Except for Ivan and Laurie who are of average talent, the others are of lower-level talent. No wonder Wizard Toins is angry.
The person was chosen by the nobles. The little green-winged snake was speechless. If it had known earlier, it would not have been so anxious to follow.
"Flying Fish Harbor Hobson, I'll keep that in mind."
"Wizard Toins, how about I go there again and take over that dog city."
"Get out, you incompetent person."
Wizards have their own rules, and Toins has things he needs to be wary of, so it is not appropriate for him to deal with the nobles of Flying Fish Port for the time being.
The little green-winged snake flew out of the hall as if it had been pardoned. It heard an order from behind: "When the ship docked, a servant dared to offend my disciple and send him to my laboratory."
"okay."
