To be honest, Lais did not agree with what Wald said.
In her view, as a noble girl, Selina Solomon has the obligation to serve the family after enjoying many conveniences and privileges brought to her by her family.
And marriage is the greatest value she can create for her family.
As for those stories about common people and aristocratic girls falling in love with each other... I'm sorry, Lais has only seen them in the theater.
However, due to Old Man Wald’s status, she still said politely:
"Mr. Walder, marriage between nobles has been a tradition of the Braden Kingdom for hundreds of years. As an ordinary girl, Selina is unable to resist such a tradition."
But Walder still said with some emotion: "The successor I want cannot be just an ordinary girl. What I want is a rule-breaker, a technological changer, and a warrior who dares to ignore all traditions and rules! He
He must have a vision that transcends the times, he must have the determination to challenge authority, and he must have the spirit of devoting himself to magic. I hope that he can continue my unfinished work and fundamentally change the concept of the magic world so that magic can truly serve the greater good.
Serves the majority”
"Sir, I understand that you have high expectations for your successor," Lais interrupted his impassioned speech helplessly, "but a talent like you who can single-handedly create an era may
There won’t be one in a hundred years!”
"but"
"However, I still sincerely suggest that you consider Miss Selena again. As long as you are willing to choose her, she and her father will always remember your kindness."
Walder still stood there, silent for a long time.
There was silence in the laboratory.
After an unknown amount of time, Walder finally took out a transparent box from the drawer beside him. The light and shadow in the box intertwined, making it look like a dream.
"Okay... this thing is called the 'Elemental Magic Box'. It contains equal amounts of light elements and dark elements, which can be controlled with thoughts." Wald handed the box to Lais and said at the same time, "When you enroll students
, remember to take it with you and let the students play freely.
"If someone can produce a result that satisfies me, I will choose him as his successor;
"If none of them satisfy me, then...I will follow your advice and choose Selena Solomon."
Lais took the box and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you on behalf of Mage Tower and Selena!" she said.
Immediately, she turned around, carefully stepped over various obstacles on the ground, and left the laboratory.
Walder sat down on the chair tiredly, looked at Lais's leaving figure, and sighed silently.
It seems that the sages are right, if you think too far ahead, you will have no friends.
The world is so big, but there is no one who can truly understand his thoughts, let alone continue his unfinished dream.
"Oh, life is so lonely!"
Walder gave a wry smile and devoted himself to the magic experiment again.
…………
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, under the spotlight, the day for the magic talent test finally arrived.
Les Ross sent his assistant to Osford University, and came to Cambridge University in person. After all, Lord Merlins had personally told him to focus on the student named Alan York, regardless of his
No matter what the test result is, he will be recruited into the mage tower.
Merlins said this at the time: "If his talent can reach 'good', I will be very satisfied; if it can reach 'excellent', I will try my best to teach him; if it can reach 'genius' level..."
…”
Having said this, Merlins paused for a while, and then said seriously: "Then there is a successor to my prophetic magic."
Les took Merlins' words to heart.
She knew that although Merlins had accepted many students during his years as the Master of the Mage Tower, due to the limitations of his talent, Merlins had never taught his unique skill "Prophecy" to these students.
For example, Lais herself, even though she had mastered fire magic under the guidance of Merlins, she had never been able to glimpse the true meaning of prophecy.
She once thought that Merlins' prophecy was going to be lost.
"I don't know if that boy Alan York can meet the requirements," she thought to herself secretly. "Although he wrote a five-star paper, a 'genius' level of talent only occurs in hundreds of years."
ah……"
…………
Allen didn't know what kind of expectations Merlins had placed on him.
At this moment, he and Jeffrey, following the instructions in the letter, came to the auditorium of Cambridge University.
The magic talent test will be conducted here.
After that, ten lucky people will become the new students of the Mage Tower under the spotlight.
"Are you nervous?" Jeffrey asked with a smile.
"A little bit." Allen nodded honestly.
Although he has become a magician now, his magic talent determines his future development potential.
Under the guidance of the magicians, the students lined up and waited patiently for the next arrangement.
However, at this moment, a young magician in a robe suddenly shouted:
"Which of you is Alan York?"
Hearing this, Allen felt a little puzzled and didn't know why the magician suddenly came to him.
But he still walked out of the team and said: "I am Alan York."
He originally thought that the magician stopped him because he wanted to give him a talent test.
But things developed far beyond Allen's expectations.
The magician seemed to have seen an idol, with a fanatical expression on his face, and rushed to Allen as fast as lightning. Then he took out a paper and pen from his pocket, handed it to him, and said excitedly:
"Idol, I finally meet you! I am Lesters, a third-level magician from the Mage Tower. If you don't mind, please help me sign my name! As a magic apprentice, I can write a five-star essay.
, even got the attention of Mr. Merlins, which is simply not something ordinary people can do..."
The magician chattered endlessly, making Allen's ears almost calloused.
It was only then that Allen finally realized that his paper on spiritual magic had caused an unimaginable storm in the Mage Tower.
He smiled bitterly, took the paper and pen handed over by Magician Leicester, and silently wrote his name.
It seems that after he passes the test and goes to the Mage Tower, he really won't be able to keep a low profile like he is now.
