Kevin Rosser is an ordinary mage noble. His family, which was originally in decline, regained a glimmer of hope because of his mage qualifications.
But all this changed completely when he struggled to revitalize his family.
He was actually selected in a mage selection to become one of the people who could sign oaths with various dragons.
This is a supreme honor. In the entire Dilada Empire, mages are only qualified to be called masters when they reach the fifth level, and then they are qualified to reach the same status as nobles. And the fourth-level mages are neither above nor below.
location.
Kevin originally thought that he was already in his thirties and that his potential as a mage had been used up, and there was no possibility of him going any further, but he never expected that he would have such good luck.
"Maybe it can bring a new turn for the daughter and the family." With this thought in his mind, he went to the empire testing site.
Inside the round test point building, he realized that he was not one of the rare ones selected.
There are more than a dozen mages in their town alone among the people chosen for the oath, and there are even third-level and second-level mages among them. God knows how the second-level mages sneaked in. You must know that dragon covenant requires huge rewards.
Can support a summons.
"It's your turn." Kevin was pushed by the people in line behind him. He came to his senses, walked forward, and signed his name on the text above.
"If you are selected by the dragons, this badge will directly become your summoning prop. It is a communication coordinate. You must keep it." The official in charge whispered. He was also a fifth-level master, with a hint of condescending reserve.
He said calmly.
"I understand, sir." Kevin quickly left the team with his badge. He turned around and looked at the people lining up behind him. There were still seven or eight people waiting in line. He felt a little puzzled.
After walking out of the testing point, he looked back uneasily and looked behind him. The testing point was as white and round as a loaf of bread. Outside, there were mages coming from afar. They got off the carriage and walked inside.
And these mages all have one thing in common, that is, they are rich.
Kevin felt a little depressed. When he just received the news that he was selected, he thought he was lucky, but he didn't expect so many people to be selected.
"Master Kevin."
A clear voice came from beside me.
Kevin heard the sound and looked over, seeing a young lady with green skin. He recognized that this was Serena, the only druid near the town.
"Tree Skin Technique? Master Selina, what trouble have you encountered?" He asked in surprise. Only when preparing for battle will he apply Tree Skin Technique to himself. This thing is a fifth-level spell that lasts a long time.
Can last for a day.
"No, I just encountered a wild boar." Selina didn't say much. Druids are neutral and indifferent. They rarely tell outsiders about their private affairs.
"It's you." She glanced at the badge on Kevin's hand. "I'll give you a piece of advice. If it were me, I would never accept this badge. Once the dragons are summoned, you will know what will happen next."
Serena and Kevin have a pretty good relationship. The two of them often have dealings in pharmaceuticals and medicinal materials. For her to say this, it is quite interesting.
"What do you mean?" Kevin was not a fool. He immediately linked to the recent series of actions of the empire.
"The high-level officials of the empire have signed dragon oaths with a total of thirteen clans including Red Dragon, Black Dragon, White Dragon, and Green Dragon. This year, hundreds of adult dragons and hundreds of young dragons have entered the empire to sign oaths. All of this
Why?"
Serena said lightly and looked at the badge in Kevin's hand. "Don't make the people around you sad."
After saying that, she slowly left along the khaki street, heading towards her residence, and ignored Kevin.
Kevin stood in front of his carriage and was in a daze for a moment. He was not a fifth-level professional like Serena. Any professional at the division level, a druid could also be called an archdruid.
The level is completely two qualitatively different classes, and the channels for getting information are also different. And obviously, Serena's warning was obviously a good intention.
"Master?" the coachman asked in a low voice from the side, "Do you want to leave?"
Kevin looked down at the badge in his hand.
"Kevin?" A beautiful female mage in the distance saw him from a distance and shouted sweetly. "You can actually get the badge? Wow, anyone can really get the badge nowadays."
Next to the female mage was an old man wearing a master's robe. He was about fifty years old and looked strong. He just glanced at Kevin lightly.
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, but you're still standing still, Kevin."
"Master Sandra, Alice." Kevin forced a smile and responded politely.
"The gray robes of the Gray Shadow Council are so casual. Such an important badge is given out casually." Alice said bitterly. "Giving a badge to a low-level mage who has no hope of promotion, one summons can consume all his wealth.
What’s the point?”
The other mages around him all looked over here, as well as some passers-by on the roadside. For a moment, Kevin only felt that the people around him seemed to be watching him. Everyone's eyes were as piercing as sharp thorns.
My skin feels sore and burning.
"What did you say to me back then?" Alice was not ready to let him go. "Sooner or later, I will stand in front of you as a teacher! Make you regret it!" She learned an impassioned tone.
He said loudly. Then he looked at Kevin, who was now lowering his head, with a sharp look.
"What now? Now I don't regret it at all."
"Can I leave?". Kevin felt sad for a while. He was impulsive at the time and made bold statements, believing that man can conquer nature and will definitely be able to overcome the innate limitations of qualifications and become a fifth-level master. However, more than ten years later, he is still the same.
At level 4, there is still no hope of breakthrough.
Level 5 is a level that is envied by countless professionals. Those who can reach this level have all found their own unique skills and expertise.
As for fifth-level wizards, they are much stronger than ordinary mages. The key lies in an instant spell skill.
Being able to specialize in a zero-level spell or above and master the instant skill, although it will consume twice the daily spell slots, in combat, such skills are enough to allow mages to avoid chanting when facing the enemy and gain an absolute advantage in the battle.
This is a qualitative change.
"Go ahead, go ahead, it's the same thing every time, it's boring." Alice obviously meant to embarrass him. In fact, even if mages are not as hypocritical and polite as nobles, they will not go so far in public, Alice
In doing so, the conflict between the two went too far.
When she abandoned Kevin and found her current teacher-mate, she once planned to give Kevin a large sum of compensation because of guilt, but Kevin kicked her out of the house in public and threw away all the compensation. At that time, she even impulsively swore loudly that one day
He will definitely break through and stand in front of her to make him and her regret.
But more than ten years have passed, and their daughters have grown up to be more than ten years old. Kevin is still at level four. Like most other low-level mages, he will almost never see the opportunity to break through at level five.
If one out of a hundred mages can break through the fifth level, it is considered a very high ratio. This is as cruel as the threshold from apprentice to official mage.
Kevin got on the carriage, and even the coachman felt a fever on his face. He slapped the horse's butt hard and left the scene quickly.
The houses and shops on both sides passed by one after another, and there were many more outsiders on the surrounding roads, but Kevin didn't have the slightest intention to observe these.
He was holding a fire in his heart and wanted to vent it, but he didn't know how.
He didn't dare to take action. The master that Alice found had his own mage tower. Even among masters, there were high and low levels. The masters who could get the support of the nobles to build their own mage tower were among the fifth-level masters.
Different.
A fifth-level master within the range of the mage tower is enough to confront a sixth-level professional head-on.
Therefore, the old man named Master Sandra was not someone he could compete with or disobey.
Now he just wants to go home and watch his daughter. As long as his daughter can have a better development and future, everything will not matter.
Now his daughter is everything to him.
He pinned all his hopes on Maria.
The town is not big. The carriage left the town and passed around the Church of the Lord of the Forest. It was his family's residence, a fairly good small manor.
A large windmill stands between several thin fields, and inside is a small black stone house with its own front garden. Looking from a distance, you can see someone taking care of flowers and plants in the garden.
Kevin looked at the figure in the garden in the distance. She was a young and graceful teenage girl. She was also wearing a mage's robe, but it was a special white robe with a crescent moon logo on the chest.
That crescent moon represents the elite organization under the Gray Shadow Council - the Moon Scar Watch. Everyone who is selected into the Moon Scar Watch is an absolute genius, and is an elite who will have the opportunity to directly enter the division level in the future.
The Gray Shadow Council is a giant organization that spans the Dilada Empire. If the Snow City in the Dilada Empire is the highest gathering place for court mages, then the Gray Shadow Council is the entire area, including the five major empires.
A behemoth in the alliance of all mages. He represents the glory and ultimate of the battle mages in the North. It is not comparable to a snow city. In the entire North, he is undoubtedly the strongest existence and has the highest dominance.
.
Whenever he sees the crescent moon symbol on his daughter's body, Kevin feels deeply relieved in his heart. Although he can't do it, his daughter will definitely be able to go up.
The carriage followed the field path and arrived in front of his house.
Kevin got out of the car and told the coachman to put the carriage away, while he strode towards his daughter.
"Maria." He shouted loudly before he got closer. "Aren't you in Kosoya? Then come back to see me when you have time?" (To be continued...)
