The Beginning of Panlong: Three Realms in Vertical and Horizontal

Xiacheng District is located to the northwest of the Imperial Capital, between the commercial area and the civilian area. It is said to be the Xiacheng District, but it is actually a slum area. About 20% of the population of the Imperial Capital has lived here for generations. Gangs run rampant, the imperial capital has the most chaotic security and the worst environment.But here, there is also the premier underground black market in the entire empire. The underground here is not a virtual finger. It is said that there is an underground passage in the business district connecting the underground cavity of the lower city. The underground black market here is the opposite of the bustling business district.The underground black market and the upper-level Xiacheng district are each other.If all kinds of legal goods can be purchased in commercial areas, the underground black market is a market for illegal slaves, taboo items, and stolen goods.It is said that you can even buy the families of lost nobles, and even small royal houses that have been destroyed. There are also some more evil magics, such as magic scrolls that can control humans.

And the most majestic building in the entire imperial capital is not the imperial palace, nor is it the temple of the Earth Church, but a colossus carved by the mountain, the sculpture is the legendary first emperor, the sanctuary powerhouse, the swordsman Bill Sistan Up.It is said that this carving was designed by the Grand Master Prux himself, and was carved by several ninth-level warriors and magicians. Even on the entire Magnolia continent, the Temple of Life of the Magnolia Empire can be compared with it.

The boulder mercenary group lives in the commercial district. On the street of the commercial district, "Moonlight Avenue", Wright only felt that he was dazzled. Fortunately, the entire Moonlight Avenue is paved with flat bluestone slabs, which can accommodate several carriages in parallel .On both sides of the street are various business establishments such as hotels, clothing stores, weapons stores, bars, and pet shops.At the same time, there is a neat row of chestnut trees on both sides of the'Moonlight Avenue'.

????

The merchants and mercenaries rushed to the destination in a hurry; while the ladies and the young ladies wore fashionable costumes and strolled down the streets, talking and laughing with each other.Perhaps it was because they were so knowledgeable, or because the people of the Imperial Capital were relatively high-quality, these noble ladies did not embarrass Wright by sneering and pointing like some nobles in small cities.

Seeing Wright’s expression, Leonard chuckled in a low voice, “Is it strange that Little Wright is surprised that no one is pointing here? It’s very simple. This is the capital city, not a third-rate small city, and the business district was originally a caravan. Locally, the mercenaries can't see their strength on the surface. If they often sneer at some poorly dressed people, they might lose their lives if they encounter a grumpy one. Of course, if they are in the noble area, then it's a different matter. "

After walking for more than an hour, passing through a thickly colored arch, the surrounding architectural style quickly changed from the flashy and gorgeous business district to calm and refined.Wright knew that the temple area had arrived, and the place for the magic test was in a church on Harvest Avenue in the temple area.

Chapter 15 Talent Test

From about early in the morning, many people gathered at the entrance of the Harvest Church of the Earth Church. Most of the people here were noble nobles. The carriages filled the empty square in front of the church, and the nobles greeted each other. .

Wright and Leonard also came here at this time.

"Uncle Leonard, there are so many people here today. It seems that there are many aristocratic children here to test the magic talent." Wright said to Leonard with a smile.

Leonard smiled slightly and said: "Noble? Any magician who graduated from the highest magic academy, "Puang Royal School of Magic", can easily obtain the title of baron. If it can be an elite graduate, it will be a seventh-level magician. After graduation from the strength of the division, it is easy to become the Viscount of the Empire, and rank alongside the Cape family of your Dragonfall Fortress. If it is in those small duchy, a seventh-level mage can directly enter the ruling class, and is directly counted as an earl or even a marquis."

"In fact, the nobles who came to the test have already tested their talents at home for many things, and then come to this official test. After all, asking a magician to measure it will not be recognized by the Magic Academy."

Lai nodded, after all, the title of the empire still far exceeds the gold of the kingdom and the principality.At present, the two empires on the mainland occupy more than two-thirds of the territory. Of course, they refer to the area occupied by humans. The area occupied by the beasts such as the three Jedi is not counted, and the rest is the territory of the kingdom and the principality. .

"Oh, Lord Bill, are you here too?"

"Hicks, I'm here, of course, for my son, Sika, to meet Uncle Hicks."

I saw a group of nobles chatting with each other not far away, and the enrollment test for magic enrollment alone required ten gold coins for the registration fee.Once admitted, he was admitted to a magic school.The tuition fee is even higher.Generally, the tuition fee for a school of magic is hundreds of gold coins a year!

If it is an ordinary civilian family, they cannot afford this cost at all, but as long as their children are admitted, there will naturally be nobles or merchants to support them. Investing in magicians in advance is a very cost-effective business.

Of course, if you have enough talent, money is not a problem. For talented students, the top three magic academies have adopted extremely low tuition fees for their own people, and high tuition fees for foreign students.And those second-class magic schools are willing to issue high scholarships to highly talented talents to attract high-quality students.

For example, the Magic Academy "Magnolia Academy", because it recruits very few students, as long as they belong to the children of the Magnolia Empire and dependent countries, the tuition is basically the same as free!After all, those who can enter Magnolia Academy are all geniuses.The future achievements are limitless.

"Huh, those commoners and country folks are also here, really daydreaming?" Some nobles in the distance sneered and said.

Among the hundreds of people gathered in the square, some were civilian children.Most of them have not tested their magic talents. It's really luck to come here. Most of them will go back sadly, and only a few will succeed.

"Wright, don't be familiar with them." Leonard reminded casually, he knew that Wright's mind would not be angry.

The entire square was obviously divided into two circles, one was the circle of nobles who talked loudly, and the other was the commoners or the little nobles in the country.

At the moment, there were two warriors in leather armor at the entrance of the church, preventing outsiders from entering.

After a while, a priest in a black robe walked out slowly, walked to the door of the church, stopped, smiled and said loudly: "The magic test, from now on, the recruiters of the major magic schools are also ready. Anyway. For the magic test, please follow me into the lobby.

Wright took ten gold coins and calmly followed the crowd into the church door., I saw one by one, the older one was seventeen or eighteen, and the young one was only six or seven.The children lined up in two long lines, and the acolytes of the church also charged for the test.

The central circle has a diameter of ten meters, and there are three adults inside, two are responsible for testing, and one is responsible for recording.The test tool is a crystal ball, and the other is a hexagonal complex magic array.

"First."

The old priest with a top hat pointed directly at the crystal ball and said: "First put your hand on the crystal ball to test the elemental affinity."

The first one was a handsomely dressed fat boy who looked twelve or thirteen years old. Seeing such a fat boy, some people around were talking about it. Wright listened carefully. This fat boy seemed to be a young master of a large chamber of commerce and he was very rich. .

The little fat man put his right hand on the crystal ball nervously, and suddenly the whole crystal ball began to emit a misty faint white light, and occasionally there was a small amount of cyan mixed in it.

The bald old man looked at the paper in his hand and said indifferently: "Age 12 years old, element affinity, medium light type, low wind type."

"Now enter the magic circle and test your mental power. Remember, stand up straight, don't kneel or fall, and support as long as possible." The bald old man's voice was still indifferent, and the young man nodded and walked in. In the hexagonal magic circle.And the balding old man suddenly appeared a thick khaki light, and saw a khaki light merged into the magic circle.

Earth magic-spiritual suppression!

After only a while, the young man in the magic circle couldn't hold back and fell to the ground.

"Mental power is about three times that of the same age. There is no possibility of becoming a magician." The bald old man announced indifferently, the magic circle stopped running, and the little fat man walked out nonchalantly.

There was noise around.

One by one teenagers were tested, and none of the top ten failed.Most of these teenagers are not as indifferent as the rich, fat teenager. One teenager even cried after failure.At this time, the man in the magic circle was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, dressed in rags and nervous, looking just like the thieves that can be seen everywhere in the imperial capital.The people around are also talking about it, because this young man is actually bi-elemental and superior!

Well, to be precise, this young man is indeed an ordinary member of the imperial gang. It took several years for the boss of the gang to save such a gold coin to test the magic talent. If the magic talent is not detected, then Salted fish turned over and would definitely be beaten when he returned.

Perhaps the same is true. Coupled with a long and hard life, the youth persisted longer than the previous ten.

"Huh?" The old priest's eyes lit up, and the power of the magic circle was about to increase again.

After a while, the young man finally knelt on the floor with his hands on the ground.

The priest old man nodded his head in satisfaction, and finally there was a smile on his face: "Spiritual power is eighteen times that of his peers. Reach the first-class talent, and the elemental affinity has also reached the first-class. The talent is very good!" The bald old man pronounced, too. Determine the fate of youth.Hearing this sentence, the young man clenched his fist suddenly and was very excited. He knew that his destiny had changed. The little gangster who had imprisoned him was no longer a problem!

"Ah, damn it." Wright's ears moved slightly, and he heard the curse of a rich middle-aged man among the onlookers.

"Get out." A sharp gaze swept over the middle-aged man. It was obvious that Wright was not the only one who heard the middle-aged man’s curse. Then looking at the young man staring at him fiercely, the old priest seemed to understand something and was very dissatisfied. He snorted and ordered the temple warrior to drive out the gang leader who looked like a little nobleman.If the youth only reaches the level of talent of a magician.He may not be able to take care of this, but the young man's talent is quite good, and it is enough for him to give him personal affection.

Suddenly, an assistant priest came over and took the youth to the group of recruiters from the Magic Academy.

Many people looked at the young man enviously.

Becoming a magician will have both status and strength in the future!

As time goes by, there are more and more people in the hall, because the magic test has to last for seven days, so most people are not in a hurry for a while.When it was Wright's turn, many people in the hall to take part in the test lined up outside the hall.

"Next," the old priest said again.

Wright calmed his mood and put his hand on the crystal ball.

Suddenly--,

Like the sun, the entire crystal ball suddenly dazzled, and the ocher and the fiery red light complemented each other.The dazzling light even squinted the eyes of those approaching.

The old priest trembling looked at the paper in his hand, the writing was very clear, and Wright was only nine years old.

"Nine years old, elemental affinity, earth element, fire element super!" The priest old man was a little emotional, because a considerable part of the people who came to the test had tested the magic talent through various relationships, and the test in the Earth Temple was just for doing A proof, so there is one in twenty or thirty people who has reached the intermediate elemental affinity, but the high-end talent, I am afraid that one of seven or eight hundred talents, the super talent, I am afraid it is one in ten thousand, if it is the following counties The magic talent test point, one such genius may not appear in one year.Dual-line super class, that is even more a mess!

"Please come to the magic circle." The priest old man was obviously more polite to Wright, and he used a'please'.

Even many nobles around him looked at Wright with different eyes.The elemental affinity is superb, indicating that it can take a short time to refine the magic power, and other time can be used to exercise the mental power.As long as the mental power is not too bad, the future will be unlimited.

Wright stepped into the magic circle.

I saw the warm white light of the magic circle light up, and then a wave of oppression directly acted on his soul.
