"Bister, hurry up, that butterfly is going to escape." A little girl chased a butterfly hard with her cute little feet.
"Alice, please slow down, I can't keep up." A boy panted, half running and half walking behind the girl.
"Slow down, you two, and be careful not to fall." An old man looked at the two children with a smile.
These two are our Bicester and Alice, and the old man is Alice's grandfather, the father of the city lord, the old man Lester Long.
The city lord returned to Hope City shortly after the birth of his daughter due to work. The city lord's wife stayed at the manor to recuperate due to physical reasons, while the idle old man stayed and enjoyed his old age. For convenience, Simon also
I was forced to move to the manor because, firstly, the city lord's wife Angela and Lux have a good relationship and can be companions and can be taken care of easily. Secondly, Simon is in the manor and can help manage it. The manor now needs someone trustworthy.
In this way, Simon changed from a groom to a housekeeper, but it turned out that he was not as simple as a groom. This lasted for five years. During this period, the city lord's wife returned to Hope City several times to stay for a while, and the city lord would occasionally return to the manor to visit.
Every New Year we spend together at the manor.
"Uncle Long, Master Shalan is here. He is in the living room now." Simon walked up to the old man in a neat tuxedo and said.
"I know, I'll be there in a minute, you go and do your work." The old man replied.
"Bister, come here, go home and help your mother work, don't play here." Simon said when he saw his son playing.
Bicester glanced at his father and said, "Oh, I got it." Bicester was no longer chasing butterflies with Alice, and walked towards Simon.
When Alice saw her playmate leaving, she lost her mood to play and walked towards her grandfather.
"Let him go with me. Maybe Shallan will have something to say about Bister's body." The old man suddenly interrupted.
Bist did not become an idiot because all his thoughts and souls merged to form ghosts and gods. Instead, he was very smart, but his health was never very good. The old man and the city lord also discussed this issue for a long time, but finally settled it.
Simon hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Long. Bicester, you have to listen to Grandpa Long, you know."
Bister nodded, and Alice also walked to her grandfather's side, climbed on top of him, pulled his hair, and started acting coquettishly.
"Uncle Long, I'll go and get busy first. If you need anything, call me." After Simon finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Come on, Alice, grandpa will take you to meet someone." The old man said to Alice.
When Alice heard that she wanted to meet a stranger, she seemed very reluctant to do so. She yelled not to go while trying to escape from her grandfather's arms.
"Be obedient, Alice, she has a lot of fun." The old man said seductively.
Alice stopped struggling, looked at the old man and said, "Well~~, will Bister go? If he goes, I will go."
"Of course, he is going too." The old man replied helplessly,
"Okay." Alice said reluctantly. In fact, the old man had long known that his granddaughter would drag Bister with her wherever she went. Of course, most of them did bad things secretly. Our honest Bister has many times
Becoming Alice's scapegoat. Later, everyone gradually figured out Alice's little tricks, but they still pretended not to know. This time is no exception. If something bad happens, she will immediately blame it on Billy.
Ste.
The old man led the two children to the living room. There was a beautiful lady sitting in the living room. Her beauty could be described as overwhelming. She sat quietly there like a perfect work of art. She was dressed in dark blue.
Her long dress looks so noble and elegant. She is the current master of the Temple of Law, a senior magician, and she is also the youngest master. The old master was her master. On the day she became a senior magician,
The old palace master took the initiative to resign and elected her to become the palace master. She was able to pass the vote of the elders not only because of her master, but because she is currently the most promising being in the Mage Palace to enter the title of Dharma God. Shalan's talent can only be used
To describe genius, there are currently only 32 practitioners registered in the entire Adventurer's Guild who have reached the title level, including 7 from the Sword God Hall; 6 from the Saint Hall; 6 from the Dharma God Hall; 5 from the Dou Sheng Hall; and 5 from the Divine Spear Hall;
In Shashentang 3, the old man is one of them. Therefore, the existence of each title level has important significance.
"Mr. Long, you are here." Palace Master Shalan saw the old man coming in, stood up and said hello, showing respect for the old man.
"Master Shalan, I've kept you waiting for a long time." The old man responded politely.
"We won't be polite. This is my granddaughter. Please test it yourself to see if she has the talent to become a magician." The old man just sat down and pointed at his granddaughter.
"Of course, her mother is an outstanding magician. I hope she is as outstanding as her mother." As he said this, he took out a crystal ball from somewhere.
"Sister, are you a juggler?" Alice watched Shalan pull out a crystal ball out of thin air, and immediately thought of the circus her father invited to perform during the New Year. One of the jugglers made Alice think it was a magic weapon.
It’s still fresh in my memory. I ran over immediately.
Uh... Shalan was stunned by the question, but when she saw the cute child in front of her, she became childlike and said seductively: "Yes, if you put your hand on this ball, the ball will shine. Can you do that?"
"
"Really?" Alice stared at it for a while, then said with great determination: "Bist, you come first." Alice seemed to be afraid that there was a ghost in the crystal ball, so she asked Bist to try it.
Test the waters.
Everyone in the room was stunned. The old man smiled helplessly, and only then did Lord Shalan notice that there was another child. Bicester looked at Alice, then at Lord Shalan and the crystal ball.
, and finally looked at the old man for help.
"Go. It's okay." The old man glanced at Bist and said
Bicester walked over slowly, timidly not daring to stretch out his hand, and Alice grabbed Bicester's hand and pressed it on the crystal ball, and then immediately let go. At this time, the crystal ball slowly lit up with colorful lights from the bottom.
The liquid was emitting light. It rose slowly like wine poured into a wine glass. It stopped when it reached three-quarters of the way and the whole room became quiet.
Shallan showed a surprised expression and exclaimed: "Oh, my God, thank God."
This crystal ball was also invented by the Alchemy Guild. It is used to test mental power. Some say it is the power of the soul. When it reaches the halfway position, it is the level of ordinary people. When it reaches three-quarters like Bister, it has a very high level.
She is gifted with mental power, but Shallan's own talent is only slightly better than that of Bist, which shows that Bist is very likely to become a magic god.
Legend has it that if all the crystal balls light up, they have double the spiritual power of ordinary people. However, there is currently no such person. The highest record is a Dharma God 100 years ago. When he was a child, nine out of ten lights were lit up in the test.
The higher the spiritual power, the stronger the ability to control magic. Only a strong spiritual power can be cultivated as a basis. Therefore, the talent of a magician in the early stage of training is very important, and it is also the most demanding talent among all practitioners.
.Of course, the firearms skills of the remnants of the Heaven Realm are not taught to outsiders. This is something that ordinary people cannot learn and does not count.
"Wow! It's beautiful. Bister, get out of the way and let me come." Alice ran back immediately when she saw nothing was wrong. She didn't know who just didn't dare to play with Bister to test the waters.
Just as Shalan was about to say something, she saw Alice put her hand on the crystal ball. The crystal ball lit up again, and the liquid rose again to more than half, super high. Finally, the light liquid stopped at nine-tenths of the way.
.Alice looked at Bister proudly and said, "How about more than you?"
Alice had no idea what the light liquid represented, but Shalan was completely stunned. Was today a gift from God or a joke from God? One talent was almost the same as her own, and the other talent reached the height of the former Dharma God.
There may be two Dharma gods in the future.
"Mr. Long, I think you should understand the meaning of this crystal ball. I hope to take away the two children today." Master Shalan said impatiently
"I need to think about this. You should also know that the situation in Dongcheng is not very good now. I don't want my children to be affected." The old man replied after thinking deeply.
"I know that the city lord's election is approaching, and the family competition is about to begin. You are afraid that someone will do dirty things behind your back. I understand your concerns, but you should also understand the importance of the talents of these two children. I hope you will consider it as soon as possible.
To make a decision, I will take my leave today." Palace Master Shalan replied after thinking about it.
Shallan understands the current situation of the Lester family, and she also knows that the talents of these two children can ensure the prosperity of the Lester family for hundreds of years in the future, but the premise is that the two children can grow up smoothly. No one in this manor can
It was too complicated to avoid Elder Long's detection, but returning to the city was too complicated.
The two children returned to the yard to play after Master Shalan left, but the old man sat in the yard with a frown on his face.
At this time, the beautiful city lord's wife Angela came over.
"Dad, I heard that Shalan is here. How is Alice's talent? You don't seem to be doing well." Angela sat next to the old man.
"It doesn't matter if it's not good, as long as she grows up happily." Angela continued.
"It's not bad, but it's great. Bister has almost the same talent as Shalan, and Alice has even reached the talent of the former No. 1 Dharma God." The old man said. Shalan is just a commoner, but
Because almost the entire Hope City knows about her outstanding mental talent, the old man knows Shalan’s mental talent level.
"What?! Dad, are you kidding me?" Angela couldn't believe her ears. Her talent was pretty good. Through her hard work, she became an intermediate magician when she was young. But later she met
The city lord got married, and almost stopped practicing after getting married. But if Angela continued to practice, the magician might not be able to do it, but the high-level magician would not run away.
"I'm not joking, I'm just worried. Alice's talent cannot be hidden, but if Alice is allowed to enter Hope City, it's hard to guarantee that those guys will take risks and do something. And now the competition is approaching.
, this matter will be particularly eye-catching." The old man thought for a moment and then continued: "Such a good talent will definitely not work without practice, but you can't go back to the city, and your body can teach two children. This is
It’s the hardest thing for me.”
"Dad, why are you so troubled? You can leave this matter to Shalan. She will not leave these two geniuses idle here. Maybe she will come to teach in person?" Angela said slightly.
He said after thinking deeply.
"Haha, it's because I'm old and I can't think as sharply as you young people. I'll go find Simon to take care of it." He got up and went to find Simon.
Shalan thought about it all morning after knowing that the problem came back to her. The talents of the two children were really great, but the initial training was all taught in the same class. Magicians with high abilities would not go to class idle.
Teacher Shalan felt that her skills were not good enough. Although she could send someone to go, she was always worried, and neither was the Lester family, so in the end, just as Angela said, she went into battle herself.
