At this moment, when Howard was testing the natal element in front of everyone, Merlins, the master of the mage tower, was still quietly staying in his office at the top of the tower as usual.
Since casting the "silencing spell" on the toucan, Merlins has enjoyed a rare few days of silence.
At first, because he didn't need to quarrel with this smelly bird anytime and anywhere, he could devote more energy to magic research, and he felt relaxed and happy every day.
However, as time passed, Merlins began to feel bored in the silent office.
He was surprised to find that after every day of magic research, he had nothing to do except daze!
In order to solve this problem, he tried to chat with young magicians, wanting to talk to them about life and relieve their boredom. However, young magicians often worried about his status as a legendary mage and acted too reserved in front of him.
It's hard to let go of yourself and talk to him on an equal footing.
"Maybe it's because I'm too good and they don't want to be friends with me!" Merlins would often laugh at himself when encountering this situation.
It was only then that he discovered that it seemed that the only person in the world who could chat with him without any scruples and restraints was that annoying toucan.
Of course, for the sake of his own face, Merlins would never break the Toucan's "Silent Curse" in advance even if he skipped a meal and jumped from the mage tower. Otherwise, in the next few months, this
The stinky bird will definitely taunt him about this every day.
According to Merlins, this is more terrifying than death.
In the extreme boredom, Merlins seemed to suddenly remember something and planned to do a divination.
So, he reached out and took out a slightly rusty coin from the pocket of the mage's robe, threw it into the air, and caught it steadily.
The toucan next to him looked at him with surprised eyes and wanted to say something, but was unable to speak due to the "silence curse".
In its memory, since Merlins was successfully promoted to the legendary mage, he could basically predict the future by rolling his eyes. At most, he could just look up at the stars in the sky and get the answer he wanted.
Only for very important matters, he would use props like coins to divine things.
Merlins' own statement is that "the use of props can buffer the backlash caused by prophecy."
But Toucan couldn't help but think to himself: Merlins is a legendary mage, but there are still people who will backfire on his prophecy? Could it be that what he is going to predict next is not a person, but a god?
Thinking of this and seeing Merlins' actions, it really wanted to yell at Merlins: "Asshole, don't seek death! If you have any shortcomings, don't expect me to care about you!"
It's a pity that its mouth was blocked by the "Silent Curse" and it couldn't roar out.
So, a few minutes later, it watched Merlins open his right hand. The skin on his palm was burnt and dripping with blood, as if he had been burned.
The coin lay quietly in the palm of his hand, as ordinary as usual.
"Sure enough...you have to give up to get something?" Merlins was heard muttering to himself.
The toucan turned its head and turned its back to him, not wanting to hear another word from him.

"At the beginning of the birth of the world, everything was shrouded in darkness and despair.
"God said, let there be light.
"Thus, the sun and moon were born, and the stars shined.
"The world has ushered in its first dawn."
This is the first paragraph in the "Lighting Canon" and has always been regarded as a guide by the Church of Light.
Of course, although the magicians in the Mage Tower are nominally believers in the Church of Light, most of them have doubts about this.
After all, magicians have always taken it as their own duty to explore the truth of the world, and often look at everything around them with questions. In their cognition, only opinions that can be proved by scientific and logical methods can be regarded as truth.
.
However, at this moment, when Howard's hand touched the crystal ball, everyone present couldn't help but believe that descriptions like those in "The Book of Light" could really happen in reality.
It was the brightest and purest light they had ever seen in their lives. It emanated from the crystal ball and illuminated the entire room, as if it was the first dawn in the world.
In comparison, the magic candles used for lighting in the mage tower looked as dim as night.
Under the illumination of this light, the onlooker Howard seemed to have turned into an angel described in "The Book of Light", revealing a majestic, sacred and inviolable temperament, which made everyone present hold their breath for a moment and were so surprised that they were speechless.
Come.
Even Allen, who was standing in the shadow in the corner, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Howard, this guy, has such a pure affinity for the light element! No wonder even Bishop Nelga wants to recruit him to the Church of Light.
!”
Allen has read many magic books and naturally understands that under normal circumstances, the natal element is just an attribute and has no advantages or disadvantages.
But only two elements, the light element and the dark element, dominate the other elements.
After all, the two elements of light and darkness are the most original elements of the world, and other types of elements, such as wind element, water element... are all composed of them.
Therefore, magicians whose natal elements are light elements or dark elements are the darlings of fate. They have a strong affinity for all types of elements. They can choose the field of magic they want to study based on their personal interests without being subject to
Constraints from talent conditions.
Of course the magicians present also knew this.
After regaining consciousness, they all raised their hands and shouted for Howard to choose them.
"Mr. Howard, are you interested in wind magic? I think your temperament is particularly suitable for wind magic."
"Don't listen to his nonsense, come and learn thunder and lightning magic from me! After you learn it, no one will dare to provoke you."
"No, no, no, they are all talking nonsense. Come and learn fire magic from me! I wonder if you have heard of it. The paper on 'Five fireballs kill a ninth-level magician' was approved some time ago. It obviously proves that
Fireballs are the true meaning of magic!"
"..."
For a moment, the magicians were noisy, as if the room had suddenly turned into a market.
Lesros had to use amplification magic to shout several times to calm them down.
"Howard, what are your own intentions?" Les looked at Howard and asked.
After hearing this, Howard thought for a moment and was about to speak.
However, at this moment, with everyone watching in shock, a magic apprentice doing odd jobs hurried into the room, raised his head and said to Howard:
"Mr. Howard, Mr. Mullins asked you to go to his office."
