The Portal of Wonderland

Sunset.

With nearly ten thousand taels of reward in his arms, Shi Lian walked back quickly.

Just one iron strike got him nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and he was quite satisfied that he didn't know if such a task would ever be encountered again.

He turned from the foot of a hill to a bend, a building that covered a lot of land and had a steep grey tile in front of him.

There are many buildings in the valley. When he went to the blacksmith's shop, he didn't pay much attention. At this moment, he swept his eyes and found a huge plaque hanging in front of the grey building door, with the words “Spiritual Palace” written on it.

And the grey building door somehow surrounded a dozen people, all looking at the palace curiously, but no one stepped into the palace.

Shi Mu was somewhat curious and stopped.

At this moment, suddenly a wind burst out of the hall, flying sandstone in front of the people at the entrance to the hall, pushing them backwards.

“Phew," a dark shadow flashed, falling outside the hall door in a windy wind, making a blow and muffled noise.

The location of Stone Pastoral Station is far from the gate and is not affected by the wind.

But his eyes flashed, and he saw that the shadow was a teenager, slightly black in colour, about his age and size, but his whole body was tied tightly to various green cranberries, wrapped into a stump, revealing only one head and two calves.

As he flew out of the palace, the dark-skinned teenager was apparently not lightly struck, grinning for half a day, unable to get up.

“Brother in law! ”

Two people ran out of the crowd immediately, probably acquainted with the dark-skinned teenager, but they looked at the door with some fear and were temporarily afraid to reach out to support the teenager on the ground.

“I dare to come and test this gift for nothing and waste my time!” A slightly older voice came out of the door cursing and grunting, and the tone was very impatient.

The dark-skinned teenager on the ground struggled a few times and, with the help of two companions, finally got out of the vine, his face looked a little red inside the door.

“Impossible. When I was in the family, I had invited someone to test it specifically. I was clearly gifted with a magician and had begun to learn basic techniques.” The young man's face was red for a while, and there was a grim argument in his face.

“Hmm! Don't mix the outside magician apprenticeship with the main door! Who doesn't know that the training of magicians is almost ten times more resourceful than that of their fellow martial artists, you think this door will spend a lot of resources to train magicians like you who have only one degree of elemental sensitivity? To become an officially registered magician apprentice in this gate, at least be able to light the induction crystal three degrees or more.” The noise inside the door gets more impatient.

When the dark-skinned teenager heard the words, his face was bluish-red and staggered, and eventually, accompanied by two companions, he slipped away.

“There are others out there to test the talents of magicians, give yourself a clear measure, and if someone comes in randomly, it won't be as simple as throwing them out. Well, do you guys have a lot of time to be married?” The voices in the hall came out cold again and then silenced.

When the people outside the palace heard this, they looked at each other and whispered.

After listening to the audience, Shi Mu finally figured out that the Spiritual Palace here was the place where the Dark Demon Gate was used to detect the talent of the introductory disciple magician.

However, testing is not free and there is a charge of 3,000 taels of silver per person.

Moreover, the person in charge of this place has obviously a strange temper. If the talent of the tester is not enough, he will not only pay the silver for nothing, but will probably be humiliated by it.

The crowd outside the main hall talked for a while, although some people were eager to try, but remembering what had just happened to the dark-skinned teenager, temporarily the courage was greatly diminished, no one dared to step into the hall again.

Ishimaki's eyes glistened, recalling the various kinds of magicians previously seen in the Palace of Hiroshima could receive the excellent task, and then touched the thick silver ticket in her sleeve. After crossing her heart, she stepped into the palace door.

People outside the palace saw Ishima go in. They were surprised and asked each other about Ishima's identity.

Shi Mu, regardless of the situation outside, slowly walked towards the palace.

The palace is followed by a wide corridor of several lengths and, after that, by a solemn palace.

The palace was quite spacious, but not much set up. Close to the left hand was a large mahogany table. An old man in a grey robe sat lazily behind the table, holding a yellow book roll in his hand, reading it in a flavorful manner.

On the right side of the hall is a rounded stone table above the ground ruler, the size of a gauge, and it is filled with curved symbols.

The stone table is surrounded by a thick crystal post with a thick bowl mouth, each of different colors, and the surface of these columns is engraved with a plaid stripe, divided into nine plaids from bottom to top, which looks extremely subtle.

When Ishima saw the stone table and crystal columns on the ground, her face suddenly revealed an astonishing look.

The old man heard footsteps behind the mahogany table and raised his head.

This old figure is thin, gray hair, triangular eyes, pointy-mouthed monkey cheeks, and a thin look.

The old man glanced over, dropped the scroll in his hand, and didn't stand up and glanced at Ishima.

“to test? Give me your name and identity.” The grey-robed old man hummed and said coldly.

“In Shimoshi, he joined the new disciple of the Sect just two months ago.” Stone Pastoral Archer said.

The old man in the grey robe weighed up and down the stone pasture and sneered: “Can't you just not see the role model outside? How dare you test the talent of a magician with luck? ”

Shi Mu heard the speech moving and silent.

“An old man like you sees a lot, can't practise well, but his mind is full of unrealistic thoughts. Although the Spiritual Palace is a place to test the talents of disciple magicians, the old man will not bother testing cats and dogs. If you don't want to waste silver and suffer, get out of here.” The old man in the grey robe glanced at Ishima and said coldly.

“Senior, since the disciple walked in, he has prepared his mind. This is 3,000 taels of silver ticket, and asked the senior to give the disciple a test.” Ishima took three silver tickets from her body and placed them silently on the mahogany table.

The old man in grey robe showed a slight surprise on his face, narrowed his eyes and looked at Ishima for a while. Ishima looked at him and stood still.

“Humph, the kid's got a good balls.” The grey-robed old man's eyes flashed a slight discoloration, hummed and stood up.

“Come on, stand on that rock stand.” The old grey robe walked up to the stone table and took a ruler out of his arms, engraved with colorful symbols, which resembled the pattern on the stone table.

Shi Mazheng was happy and hurried to stand on the stone platform in three steps and two steps, according to the old man.

The old man in grey robes whispered what he was reciting, and a green light appeared on his body and injected it into his jade ruler.

A dotted pattern on the ruler soon lit up. The old man waved his hand and a colorful light lashed out of the ruler and blended into the stone table.

Whimpering!

Patterns on the rounded stone table illuminate as many colors of light as possible, while the buzzing air vibrates.

Ishima's face changed slightly, and the various colors of light on the stone platform covered his body. A warm breath poured into his body from under his feet, swimming around quickly and flowing back to the stone platform.

The brightness of the pattern on the stone table is suddenly dark, but the crystal columns around it have changed.

A blue crystal pillar, a red crystal pillar, and a black crystal pillar glow at the same time.

All three crystal columns are first lit from the bottom position and the light rises.

The blue crystal column only lit up one, the red crystal column lit up two, while the black crystal column suddenly landed in position five, emitting a burning black light.

The grey-robed old man saw the scene and was stunned.
