In the newspaper, under this bold and eye-catching headline, there was also a black and white photo.
Because reporters were not allowed to enter the auditorium, this photo only captured the exterior of the auditorium and the large number of students crowded outside the windows of the auditorium to watch, which arouses endless imagination.
Earl William stared at the photo for a while and shook his head slightly.
He thought: With Allen's enthusiasm for magic, when the Mage Tower comes to recruit students, he must be there! Just... as a foil, accompanying "other people's children" for a formality, it should be for Allen
It's a very painful thing.
Thinking of this, Earl William couldn't help but feel sorry for his son.
He only hoped that Allen could maintain a normal attitude in this matter and not become depressed and helpless. After all, there are thousands of roads, and the magic road is not going to work, so there are other alternatives!
According to his usual habit, Earl William did not rush to open the newspaper, but scanned the titles on the front page.
I saw it written in sequence:
"The followers of the evil god in the Dark Temple have resurrected and are fighting against the Church of Light in the form of guerrilla warfare."
"Duke Solomon's daughter has an extremely outstanding magical talent and is about to enter the Mage Tower as a student to study."
"Cambridge University students single-handedly calculated the coordinates of the new plane."
"A student from the University of Cambridge has obtained the qualification to participate in next year's World Expo, and was personally awarded by His Royal Highness Edward Lynn."
"The Birth of the 'Computer': Conquer the Stars and the Sea from Today."
"..."
"It seems that a lot of big things happened today!" Earl William sighed silently while turning the newspaper to the next page.
Then the next second, he suddenly froze.
"What? Alan York, a mathematics student at the University of Cambridge, stood out in the magic talent assessment. Not only did he gain admission to the Mage Tower, he calculated a new plane, he was also accepted as a student by Merlins and Walder.
?I can’t be mistaken!”
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the title of the newspaper carefully to make sure that he was reading the genuine "Braden Morning News" and not the "Rotten Onion Weekly" which is famous for its fake news.
And he was very convinced that in the Department of Mathematics at Cambridge University, there was only one named "Alan York" named his own son, and there was no one with the same name.
"Could it be that...that kid suddenly woke up? And he also awakened a magical talent that only occurs once in hundreds of years?
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Earl William took a deep breath and stiffened. He felt that this thing was too unbelievable, and even suspected that he was dreaming.
I don't know how much time passed, but he finally calmed down a little, then raised his head and asked the female swordsman Ino Serbia next to him:
"Have you heard about Allen?"
Ino nodded and replied with a smile: "Congratulations, Earl."
Hearing this, Earl William closed his eyes, and the expression on his face changed.
For a moment, he thought of many things in the past, such as the young Allen's obsession with reading magic books at night, such as the frustration when Cambridge University persuaded him to let Allen drop out of school, such as the often talked about by relatives and friends.
The friendly joke on the side: "My lord, count."
, you should make more money and store it at home, so that your son will not starve to death in the future." For example, when his wife passed away, she said words of hope and regret while lying on the hospital bed, "Dear, I believe
I, our son will achieve great things"...
Thinking of this, Earl William could no longer restrain his joy. The hand holding the newspaper began to tremble slightly, and he couldn't help laughing at the sky.
"Hahaha! If anyone dares to say that my son is useless in the future, I will hit him on the head with a cane! By the way... Ino?"
"I'm here, Lord Count."
"You go to Iris Bank later and help me remit all the taxes from the 'Greystone Plane' for this quarter to Allen. That kid has been doing well recently. Give him a little pocket money as a reward."
"But……"
"But what?"
"A quarter's tax from the 'Greystone Plane'... That's three hundred thousand gold pounds, enough to buy hundreds of manors! Lord Earl, are you sure you want to remit it all to Allen at once?" Ino's voice
Trembling slightly.
"That kid is going to be an adult soon. He must practice his financial management skills in advance."
After hearing this, Ino no longer refuted.
She thought that after serving the York family for so many years, she should have become accustomed to the style of doing things of this wealthy family. But now, the arrogance of Earl William to transfer 300,000 gold pounds as his son's pocket money with a wave of his hand once again made her tremble.
She felt that she might not be able to understand the life of rich people in her lifetime.
…………
After the assessment, Merlins, Walder, and the mage team led by Lesroth quickly returned to the mage tower using teleportation magic.
Merlins returned to his office and began to think about teaching plans for the new students.
Wald also returned to his laboratory, planning to use this week to complete his explosion test as soon as possible, so that he could free up more time to teach students.
Unlike Merlins, Wald has stayed in the laboratory all year round and has never taught students. Because of this, whenever he thinks about the two or one and a half students who are about to come, he can't help but feel a little nervous.
As for Laisi and her team, they are even busier.
At this moment, they are still gathered in a conference room in the Mage Tower, each staring at a pile of documents, and are evaluating the talents of this group of students who have participated in the assessment.
"According to Mr. Merlins' instructions," Les said, "Those who cannot persevere after a thousand steps are all 'unqualified'. Throw their information into the wastebasket!"
The others nodded and followed suit.
"Those who abstain between one thousand and two thousand steps will be deemed as 'qualified' and will be placed in the pending area for the time being."
"Those who reach the 2,000 steps but are unable to crack the 'Gate of Wisdom' will be classified as 'passed' and placed in the undetermined area. However, the order will be in front of the pile just now."
"Those who abstained between the 2,000 steps and the 3,000 steps, and those who reached the 3,000 steps but were kicked out by Mr. Walder, are all rated as good. If I count correctly, the scores of this group of people
The number should not exceed ten...well, prepare to send them an offer!"
At this time, someone suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Ms. Rice, how should we deal with people like Gary Buegaard who use brute force to get through the 'Gate of Wisdom'?"
"That irritable reckless man," Les thought for a moment, smiled, and replied, "Theoretically, his magic talent is only 'qualified', but his willpower is much stronger than the average person. Merlin
Mr. Si once said that will is easier to create miracles than talent. Seeing as he reached the finish line with his willpower...why should we give him a 'good' rating?"
Everyone thinks so.
Then Lais continued: "As for Selena Solomon, we don't need to talk about it. She has proven her 'excellent' potential with practical actions."
"What about Howard?" someone asked, "His performance in this assessment is not much worse than Selina."
"Obviously, of course he is also 'excellent,'" Les replied with a smile. "After all, the respected Mr. Walder has used his critical eye to help us screen them in advance, which has helped us reduce a lot of work burden."
Hearing these humorous words, everyone laughed out loud and marked "excellent" on Howard and Selena's profiles.
But the happy atmosphere did not last long.
Because there is another piece of information lying quietly on the conference table, waiting for their talent rating.
The name on the information is very short, but it is a difficult problem.
"Alan York...how should I evaluate his magic talent?" Lais frowned slightly.
