So, Mayfield walked straight to the door of the Mage Tower, raised his head, puffed out his chest, and said to the Sphinx on the door handle: "If you have any questions, just ask me!"
At the same time, he thought to himself that the questions asked by the Sphinx's soul were just simple addition and subtraction, and even a fool could do it.
However, when Sphinx spoke, Mayfield was dumbfounded.
I only heard the Sphinx ask: "If 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are randomly arranged in a line, recorded as a, b, c, d, e, f, then the probability that abc + def is an even number
For how much?”
Upon hearing this question, Mayfield froze on the spot with his eyes wide open. He felt that his mind was confused and he had no idea what the Sphinx's question meant.
He could understand every word the Sphinx read, but when the words were put together, he couldn't understand the meaning.
As an illegitimate nobleman, Mayfield has been struggling in the whirlpool of power and has not received much good orthodox education, let alone any mathematics.
Such mathematical problems are like heavenly books to him.
After a while, when Mayfield finally came to his senses, he pointed at the Sphinx angrily and said: "This is not fair! The questions you asked the messenger are much simpler than the questions you asked me!"
Hearing Mayfield's words, Isabella gave him a strange look, apparently saying to him - "You are afraid that there is something wrong with your brain to compare yourself with the Messenger."
Sphinx said calmly: "I'm just following the process."
At this moment, the Sphinx's cold and ruthless appearance was completely different from when he was flattering and courteous in front of Allen just now, giving Mayfield a feeling of schizophrenia.
Seeing Sphinx's attitude, Mayfield sighed silently and gradually calmed down.
He could only sigh in his heart that Lord Messenger was indeed no ordinary person. Even a monster like the Sphinx who liked to make things difficult for others was as docile as a puppy when he was in front of him.
However, the question that the Sphinx asked of him was so difficult, how should he solve this problem and successfully enter this towering, mysterious mage tower?
Mayfield felt a headache for a while.
However, just as he was racking his brains and unable to figure out the answer to the question, Allen's faint voice suddenly came from the gate of the Mage Tower:
"Sphinx, don't embarrass them, let them in."
"As you command, my lord." After hearing Allen's words, the Sphinx responded respectfully.
This conversation fell on Mayfield's ears, like a flame in the cold winter, allowing him to see hope in despair, and the pressure in his heart was instantly swept away.
At this time, he deeply felt that people can do anything if they are pushed, except mathematics.
Then, the Sphinx opened the door to the Mage Tower for Mayfield and Isabella as Allen ordered.
The scene inside the gate of the Mage Tower was even more eye-opening for Mayfield.
After all, the plane of Payne where Mayfield originally lived is a plane with a very low power system. Under the suppression of the plane rules, it can only allow the existence of a third-level magician at most, and the magic power there is also very thin.
Because of this, the number of magicians in the plane of Payne is extremely rare, and they can be called an extremely rare species. And the residents of the plane of Payne rarely have the opportunity to witness the ever-changing and colorful magic effects.
Therefore, when Allen performed a miracle in the plane of Payne, it had such a shocking effect that shocked the entire Greyhawk Kingdom.
At this time, when Mayfield stepped into the mage tower, he saw books flying in the air, magic assistants walking around holding colorful magic potions, and squatting in the corner concentrating on rubbing.
The magician students of Fireball... couldn't help but feel that their eyes were opened, as if they had arrived in a dream world.
"It's so amazing!" Mayfield sighed sincerely in his heart, "Is this also a miracle created by the great God of Darkness? The plane where the messenger lives is really different!"
While he was thinking this, he looked around curiously, just like a countryman who had never seen the world when he walked into the city for the first time.
As for Allen, he ignored his exaggerated reaction and strode forward at the front, heading straight towards the office at the top of the tower where the legendary mage Merlins used to be.
As a long-standing celebrity in the Mage Tower, he recently single-handedly defeated the fleets of the Kingdom of Ferrand and the Church of Light. As expected, Allen was watched by everyone in the Mage Tower.
"Is this Alan York? I heard that he has a unique 'legendary' level of magical talent, which is incredible!"
"I heard that he once denounced Archbishop Jacques Nerga in court, and some time ago he single-handedly killed the Light Church's fleet at sea... Sigh, why do other people have such great abilities at such a young age?"
"Killing the fleet of the Church of Light by yourself? This is impossible! If I remember correctly, Allen only joined the Mage Tower this year, how could he have such strong magical power? It must be a fictional story in the media to attract people's attention.
Right!"
"But he is very talented in magic, and he is also a student of Lord Merlins. As the inheritor of the legendary mage, he should have some extraordinary abilities!"
"Speaking of Lord Merlins...it seems like he hasn't shown up for a long time now."
"..."
Students of the same age as Allen stopped what they were doing, turned to look at him, and talked in low voices at the same time, lamenting the terrible gap between people, their eyes full of admiration and envy.
The slightly older magicians gathered here to watch Allen's return while sighing helplessly.
Think about it, within less than a year after Allen joined the Mage Tower, he already has the strength of an eighth-level magician. He is a rare existence in the entire Braden Kingdom - and even the entire plane. He is enough to become a powerful magician.
among those.
But they themselves have been busy for so many years, but their magic strength is still at the same level, and it is difficult to make any progress. Unknowingly, their temples have turned slightly white, but they are not as good as a young man under the age of twenty.
.
This made them couldn't help but start to rage in their hearts about the unfairness of their fate.
But Allen has long been accustomed to walking under the spotlight and ignores the looks of people around him.
He just wanted to find Toucan as soon as possible and learn more about Merlins.
