This central square of Gequ City was built by the first Lord of Gequ City. The ground is covered with one meter square bluestone slabs, and the family crest and flag of Viscount Jessica is erected in the center.

Behind the central square is the City Lord's Palace.

At this time, the city defense army was maintaining order.

Crowds gathered from all directions were gathered in one place by the city defense troops, forming a flow of people that continuously circled the central square.

A woman wearing a white wizard's apprentice robe and an olive leaf badge on her chest held a fist-sized translucent red bead.

Seeing that there were already a lot of people gathered, he lowered his head and spoke a few words to an officer of the city defense army next to him.

The city defense officer nodded respectfully, and then said loudly: "Those who come to participate in the wizard apprentice selection, in order, each group of one hundred people will come forward to accept the preliminary selection!"

Subsequently, the city defense troops who maintained order drove hundreds of children out of the crowd and came forward to be selected.

These children basically come with their parents.

At first, everyone was a little panicked when they saw so many people around, but now they have to leave their parents and come forward to accept the selection alone.

Some younger children immediately burst into tears and refused to leave their parents.

The wizard apprentice was already used to this, so he didn't show any expression.

However, the city defense officer felt that he had lost face and hurriedly asked the city defense soldiers to step forward to intervene.

Children and parents who were unwilling to participate in the selection were immediately kicked out.

If they want to participate again, they can only go to the back of the crowd and queue up again.

After such arranging, hundreds of children came forward to the wizard apprentice.

The white-robed wizard apprentice held beads in his hand and softly recited a spell.

The bead immediately spread out a circle of pale red light, covering all the hundreds of children.

The white-robed wizard apprentice looked closely at the children, and when he saw a little white light coming out of the children, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

But among hundreds of children, only a few can emit a little white light.

There were only two people in total.

"These two have knight qualifications and can stay. The others have no qualifications."

The white-robed wizard apprentice whispered softly, and the city defense officer immediately stepped forward and asked the two children to wait aside. The other children were taken away by the city defense soldiers and returned to their parents.

Obviously, children who don't have even a little white light under the red light don't even have any chance.

At least those two with a little white light coming out still have a chance to become knights.

Fang Xiaoyue also saw this scene.

He knew this very well.

That bead is used by wizard apprentices to test children's qualifications.

If there is a little white light coming out, it proves that the person has good physical potential and can become a knight in the future.

And knights are actually the armed followers of wizards.

Although most wizards will continue to strengthen their physical bodies, they also need someone to protect them from time to time.

What's more, under some special circumstances, wizards also need cannon fodder to resist some damage. After all, when wizards fight, some powerful spells require reciting long spells. At this time, the knight's personal protection is needed.

Very important.

Therefore, the profession of knight appeared.

Of course, in the continent of Laimeizhou, the status of knights is still very high.

You must know that the ancestors of those nobles who are not wizard apprentices are basically knights.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to create such a family fortune for his descendants.

If the child emits a little blue light under the illumination of that bead, it proves that the child has good spiritual potential and may become a wizard's apprentice.

These kind of children are the main reason why wizard apprentices travel thousands of miles to come here.

A group of hundreds of people, if a red light shines on them, it will be obvious immediately whether they have potential or not.

Even though some parents did not want to believe the results and kept talking about how it was possible, how could it not be possible, the general order in the central square was still well maintained.

After all, no one here dares to provoke the wizard apprentice.

In any case, as Fang Xiaoyue remembered, there were too few children who could emit blue light under the red light of beads.

This is not surprising. In this large plane ruled by wizards, Laimeizhou originally belongs to an area with very weak energy particle radiation.

As I said before, wizards are a type of scientist.

Although many of their methods are extremely primitive and cruel, their pursuit of the essence of things is no less than that of scientists in other planes.

They have conducted in-depth research on the power possessed by wizards very early on.

They call the special energy in the environment that wizards can absorb and devour as energy particle radiation.

Areas with strong energy particle radiation are undoubtedly very suitable for wizards to live, study, and research.

In areas where energy particle radiation is very weak, wizards and wizards will feel very uncomfortable, just like a fish out of water.

And in areas where energy particle radiation is very weak, the number of humans with wizard potential will inevitably decrease.

Among the first ten groups of children, out of a thousand people, there were only five children with blue light.

It can be seen from this that the proportion of children with wizard potential is pitifully small.

There are a total of five to six thousand children gathered here in the entire Gequ City. From this, it can be judged that no more than thirty children with wizard potential will be selected in the end.

Not long after, it was Fang Xiaoyue's turn.

Mixed in among hundreds of people, he walked up to the white-robed wizard apprentice.

Since this kind of wizard apprentice selection is held every three years, most of the children participating in the selection are between the ages of eight and eleven, mostly between the ages of 8 and 10. Children like Fang Xiaoyue, who is almost 12 or 13 years old,

In fact, it is a very small minority.

Standing among a group of children between the ages of 8 and 10, Fang Xiaoyue was obviously a head taller than the other children, quite standing out from the crowd.

Even the white-robed wizard apprentice couldn't help but look at Fang Xiaoyue one more time.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Fang Xiaoyue is the most ragged-looking one.

After all, it is really rare for someone like him to have seven or eight holes in his clothes.

Those who are accompanied by their parents, even if their families are poor, at least the clothes they wear at this time are repaired.

As the white-robed wizard apprentice softly recited the incantation, the red light of the beads spread and enveloped the child in an instant.

When Fang Xiaoyue enveloped herself in red light, she felt that her spirit was unusually active, and the energy and blood in her body suddenly began to boil. Even the pig demon bloodline could not help but activate.

In an instant, three colors of light, white, blue and red, bloomed from his body.

Among them, the blue light was the most dazzling, covering him completely, forming a human-shaped light ball.

This scene immediately made Fang Xiaoyue the most eye-catching handsome boy in the square.

Even the white-robed wizard apprentice, who had always had a calm expression on his face, looked at Fang Xiaoyue in astonishment, and his cherry-shaped mouth couldn't help but open wide.

As for the two children not far away from Fang Xiaoyue, who had a little blue light blooming on their bodies, they were completely ignored by everyone.

No way, this is the same as going to the same school as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Although you got your best score of 600 points in the exam, the top scorer in the college entrance examination got 700 points!

At this time, everyone's attention must be on the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

"The selection is suspended!"

The white-robed wizard apprentice spoke decisively, then stepped forward to signal Fang Xiaoyue and the other two children to follow him, then turned around and walked towards the city lord's mansion.

At this time, the white-robed wizard apprentice was extremely excited.

She originally thought that she came here to Meizhou to select some ordinary seedlings, but she didn't expect that she would discover a top-notch wizard seedling!

Although she had never seen such a dazzling blue light, she could at least tell that this child's wizarding potential would not be lower than a first-level wizard.

In other words, as long as there are no accidents, the probability of this child being promoted to a first-level wizard will be 100%!

To be honest, when the white-robed wizard apprentice participated in the selection, the blue light emitting from his body was completely different from that of this child.

I have been at the level of a second-level wizard apprentice for several years. It is difficult to be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice, let alone a formal wizard.

If you bring a seedling like this back, the reward you will receive will be a considerable amount of wealth.

Of course, because of this, she could not hide this matter and could only inform the other two wizard apprentices who were traveling with her.

After all, there is no way to hide this kind of thing.

Fang Xiaoyue followed the other party into the city lord's mansion.

When they arrived at a yard, they saw the children who had been selected previously playing in the yard.

The white-robed wizard apprentice asked Fang Xiaoyue to rest in the yard, and then left alone.

After a short while, the white-robed wizard apprentice, two wizard apprentices wearing black robes and red robes, plus the city lord, a total of four people came to the yard.
