The imperial capital is too big, even if there is a favor to carry them.
The eight scorpion legs were moving at full speed, and they had been walking this road for twenty minutes, but Hero still couldn't see the end.
Mena also had no intention of directing Entu to turn.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Entu stopped in front of a magnificent and solemn palace.
"The Tower Hall is a building set up in the imperial capital, a place dedicated to receiving imperial citizens for soul awakening.
There are nearly a hundred palaces in the entire imperial capital, and all civilians in the empire who want to be a magician will come here.
Of course...compared to their free time, you probably don't have time to take a good look at the scenery of the imperial capital, unless you don't have magician qualifications.
After entering the tower, magicians rarely come out. They have many things to do, such as improving soul strength, developing soul circuits, becoming proficient in soul arts, and constantly learning.
If you become a magician's apprentice, you probably won't have the chance to step out of the tower within three to five years."
"But there don't seem to be many people here?"
Hero looked at the front of the hall, there were not many people, not even young faces could be seen.
"The tower's magician apprenticeship is once a year, but because the empire's territory is too vast, it will take a lot of time, energy and resources to bring those apprentice-qualified children from the ends of the earth to the center of the empire.
They all arrive here at different times, and the awakening process will last for a long time, almost half a year.
You are lucky to have avoided the peak period this year, and there are still a few days until the tower officially registers your identity at the end of the month."
Hero took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
It turns out he is not an African chief!
Born on the border of the empire? Can’t make it in time?
impossible!
As the Emperor of Europe, he will always have Miss Destiny to pave a sunny avenue for him!
And just when Hero followed Mena up the stairs of the palace.
A magician who passed by couldn't help but jeered.
"He's another country bumpkin who came from some remote country, thinking that he would have the qualifications to awaken his soul circuit when he arrived in the imperial capital.
Ridiculous... I think the entire family fortune will be spent just on travel expenses, huh!"
The magician saw Holo's less than gorgeous clothes and malnourished figure.
He mocked rather arrogantly.
Mena was also scolded:
"You want to recommend something like this, what? Are you wishful thinking about getting rewards?!
Don't be kidding, do you know how many people were deflated some time ago? The children they brought back were more boastful than the last!
As a result, they had no qualifications after awakening, so they could only walk out of here in despair. Didn't you see how embarrassed their faces were! Hahahaha...
As for those children, who will take care of them after they have no use value! They can only hide in a dark place in the imperial capital, with bad luck, and they will have to compete with rats for food for the rest of their lives!"
The man's eyes wandered between the two of Holo, and he said rather vicious words.
Hero frowned and couldn't help but wonder, are there such brainless people among magicians?
He came to provoke other magicians for no reason.
"So... if you don't focus on improving the strength of your soul and care about such nonsense, what's the difference between you and them?"
The overwhelming piercing runes shot past Hero's eyes.
Mena didn't want to argue with him at all. While complaining softly, he directly activated the soul technique.
"You! Soul mages are not allowed to kill in the imperial capital!"
The man didn't expect that it was just a cathartic joke, and Mena immediately became violent. The strength of those runes simply wanted to kill him right here!
In desperation, he used soul magic.
A piece of withered wood sprouted from his chest, front and back. The wood grew rapidly under the maximum output of soul power, trying to form an egg-shaped defense in a hovering posture.
It's just that Mena's preemptive strike of piercing the runes was too fast. Before the wooden strips were completely closed, a handful of runes were already shot into the wooden strips.
"You can tell from the first glance that this body is not as strong as that of a fishman, and the sound of the flesh being pierced is really crisp."
A large amount of blood seeped out from the cracks in the wooden strips. Hero, who had already experienced life and death, did not feel any discomfort, and even had a smile on his lips.
"If you can't kill... then just abolish it. If you want to file a trial, you are welcome to go to the [Judgment Tower] to file a ruling!"
Whether he can be found or not is none of his business. Who dares to judge him in the tower?
Even the three chief judges are from their [Judgment Tower].
Hero could see the substantial anger in the injured magician's eyes, but he did not dare to say a word.
The confrontation was tangled for a while, and when Mena raised his hand again, he gave up his pretense and walked down the stairs dejectedly.
And Mena had no intention of pursuing him. He turned around and continued walking towards the hall, saying to Hero:
“The whining cry of the weak, the incompetence and rage can be seen at a glance.
He is probably just a magician who specializes in referrals to make money. There are many cases like this. The children who spent a lot of resources to search for them are of no use at all, and anyone else's mentality would be broken."
"Isn't it said that magicians are very busy, then they will still focus on this kind of thing?"
Holo asked in confusion.
"The tower has a complete system. If you want to obtain knowledge, you have to pay a price, and many magicians' wallets are not enough to allow them to pay without limit.
Equivalent exchange is the first lesson you should learn. No one will be nice to you for no reason, including me. I may have brought you here out of interest, but more importantly to take a gamble. After you awaken to your high qualifications, you will be high-level.
The reward the tower gave me."
Being disturbed by that person, what Mena said now made Hero feel a little cold.
But...this allowed Hero to feel what a true magician was.
Find loopholes under the rules and do whatever you want!
This was the game he wanted to play, even if it cost him his life, this feeling of detachment made him excited.
Holo asked tentatively:
"Does a magician apprentice need to be paid to learn soul magic in a high tower?"
"Of course, every soul magic formula is the hard work of the magician."
Hero expressed his understanding. After all, the product has research and development costs, and he never thought that the tower could afford all the resources during the apprenticeship of a magician.

.....
After entering the palace, Mena took Hero to fill out a tower contract.
It’s nothing more than the information, background, and experiences of both parties.
After Hero entered the awakening house, Mena would no longer be with him.
This contract is also to ensure that under the precondition that Hero can awaken, Mena can receive a share of the rewards he deserves.
Hero bid farewell to Mena and was led by a magician to a room full of mysterious stripes.
The room is not big, and during the peak period, tens of thousands of children need to go through the awakening ceremony. Of course, the efficiency of turning the stage is important.
In the center of the room, there are thirteen tall tower stone pillars, running from top to bottom. There are also cloud inscriptions carved on the ceiling, which seems to indicate that the top of the tower cannot be seen.
And surrounded by tall towers, there is a chair.
The chair was engraved with dense runes, and Hero looked quite dizzy.
"Sit on it, feel the soul, carve the circuit, and the prophet will guide you to light up the path of the magician.
The flashing colors on the stone pillars represent your adaptability to the tower system."
After speaking to Hero, the magician exited the room and closed the door.
"Are all the magicians here so efficient? It doesn't matter if I understand it or not? It means that if you can awaken, you can choose the tower based on the flashing color of the stone pillars."
Hero walked to the chair in the middle, put his hands on his knees, and took a deep breath.
And just when he took a deep breath and cleared his mind.
A golden index finger appeared in front of his eyes, that's right! It was just one finger, without the existence of a palm, it just appeared in mid-air.
The golden hairs on the fingers were clearly visible, and even from a close distance, Holo could see the fingerprints on the fingertips.
Unable to prevent his mistake, he pointed his finger between his eyebrows.
As a mysterious force rushed into his body.
Hero's consciousness began to fall into chaos, and mysterious power flowed freely through his body.
As if in the wild land, large and small water streams converged and collided from everywhere, and then dispersed again. In the dark vision shrouded by illusions, there were countless golden rivers flowing rapidly.
Densely packed with various branches forming a huge root system, all the arteries, veins and even capillaries in the body are filled and expanded by this golden light.
As the complex golden root system no longer needed the impact of mysterious power, it expanded more and more obviously, until it was imprinted on the surface of Helo's body.
Holo's whole body shimmered because of the dense golden threads all over his body.
Gradually, the golden lines began to fade, slowly retreated, and the golden light on the body gradually disappeared.
The complete circuit is imprinted in the soul.
