Jon was put into sleep by Moro's spell, and Angel didn't wake him up again. He simply asked the mute servant to take the mentor back to the house.
Then, everyone returned to the previous castle.
Leon ordered his servants to gather all those under the age of fifty into the hall and let Moro conduct a talent test for everyone.
Angel originally wanted to take the lead in testing, but Leon stopped him and whispered in his ear: "Let the servants test it first, and then you can come back."
Leon didn't explain the reason, but Angel knew it in his heart.
Moro said just now that there is only one person with talent. If he tests directly and finds out that he has no talent, it will be very embarrassing. If there is a servant to test in front of him, then he comes again, so that even if he has no talent, he will not appear too outstanding.
Out. Of course, the premise is that there are really no talented servants.
Soon, nearly a hundred servants under the age of fifty in the manor lined up at the gate of the castle.
Although many people were woken up in the middle of the night, no one dared to complain, and they all stood up straight with fear.
"Everyone is already here, let's start testing." Moro said: "Come one by one."
The place for the talent test was a small storage room. Leon asked his servants to move all the things in the storage room in advance, leaving only some of the items that Moro had arranged.
Moro sat in the main seat, and Angel, Leon, Eaton, and the Allen brothers and sisters all sat on both sides of him. Opposite Moro, the seat was empty, which was reserved for test subjects. p>
In the lamp on the table, there is a deep-sea oil candle burning. The soft and bright light spreads from the lamp, illuminating the narrow storage room very brightly.
I saw Moro take out a red crystal ball from his loose robe and put it on the table.
There is nothing special about this red crystal ball. Compared with the transparent crystal ball suspended next to Moro, it looks much dimmer.
"This is the Eye of Abiras, also known as the Talent Ball. It is made from the eyeballs of Abiras, a strange giant beast from the abyss plane." Moro explained: "Although Abiras is not tyrannical,
power, but its soul is very powerful. The talent ball made from its eyes can return the original soul and reflect a person's talent."
The first one to come in for the test was Ollie, the maid who served Angel in daily life.
Ollie is 1 year older than Angel, and she turns 15 today. They usually get along very harmoniously, not like masters and servants, but like friends. So when Ollie came in, although her face looked very serious, but in front of everyone
When I wasn't paying attention, I secretly blinked at Angel.
Angel briefly explained the content of this test. After hearing this, Ollie's eyes suddenly lit up.
As long as you have talent, you can become the legendary wizard?! Ollie's heart was beating so loudly that she could hear it herself.
This is an opportunity, an opportunity to change destiny. Ollie immediately realized this, and his originally relaxed mentality instantly tightened. He bowed to Moro with great respect, then suppressed his excitement and sat down next to Moro.
Opposite.
Moro pointed to the red talent ball, "The test is very simple. Touch this crystal ball with your hand later. Then don't let go of your hand. Pay attention to everything around you to see if there are changes. If there are changes, it means you
Talented."
Change? Ollie didn't understand it for a moment, and neither did anyone else. Moro then explained: "This kind of change depends on the individual differences of the talented people, so there will be different situations."
"For example, when I touched the talent ball, I found that the flame burning in the fireplace not far from me suddenly changed from a small flame to a raging fire. This kind of thing is invisible to outsiders, but I am the only one.
The changes that people discover are manifestations of talent." After Moro explained, he thought for a while and said: "The talent ball cannot test a person's talent, but it is said that you can gain insights into the future path from the 'change'.
Guidance. Of course, there is no basis for this statement. I personally don’t believe it. After all, I practice fire magic and it is not necessarily faster than water magic."
"My granddaughter Erin, after touching the talent ball, found that there were various messy sounds in her ears. This can be regarded as a change." Moro pointed to the chubby Allen: "When Allen was testing the talent,
Seeing a piece of brown bread appear on the plate out of thin air is also a change."
"If, within one minute of touching the talent ball, nothing changes around you, then unfortunately, it means you have basically no talent." Moro shrugged.
After Moro finished speaking, he stopped talking and pushed the talent ball to Ollie's side.
Ollie swallowed deeply, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and placed it on the talent ball...
The small hourglass on the table walked around for 1 minute. Ollie had a look of disappointment on his face, shook his head at Moro, and then took the initiative to withdraw.
Moro's face was expressionless: "Next."
Time passed little by little, and dozens of people were tested one by one, but unfortunately, no one had the talent.
At this time, a young man with an honest appearance flashed a light in his eyes after touching the gifted ball.
"I just felt a breeze blowing in front of me, and I felt like I was in an ocean of wind." The young man made an gesture of embracing the sky, with enjoyment on his face.
"Has... has there been a change? A gifted person has appeared?!" Earl Eaton shouted in surprise. He did not expect that there was no gifted person in the imperial capital, but a gifted person appeared in the countryside?<
/p>
Leon's expression also became excited, and he happily asked Mana, the head maid, about the young man's identity.
Mana, the head maid, looked at the honest-looking young man, but her mouth twitched coldly. This man's reputation in the manor was particularly bad. I didn't expect that such a person has talent! Mana secretly scolded the goddess of luck for being too partial.
, while whispering back: "He is the son of the gardener Grant, and his name is Fox."
Fox Lyon has never heard of them, but this is not a big deal. There are many servants in the manor, so it is normal for them not to know each other.
Leon happily said to Mana: "You will take out a hundred gold coins from the warehouse later and reward it to..."
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, Moro's deep voice echoed through the room.
Fox's eyes were originally full of pride when he heard Leon talking about the reward; but when he heard Moro's voice, he immediately became depressed, and his forehead was covered with large and small beads of sweat.
"The ocean of wind? Haha... When I was in the imperial capital, no one dared to deceive me; I didn't expect that here, someone would dare to make up stories in front of me. Do you really think that the white wizard has no temper?"
After finishing speaking, Moro snorted coldly, and a violent storm surrounded Fox.
"Since you want to be in the ocean of wind, then I will make it happen for you. Try the whispers of the wind!"
After a burst of screaming, Fox was blown out of the window by the whirlwind and fell from the third floor to the ground. He screamed and screamed continuously.
Leon's face turned pale: "Mr. Moro, what's going on? Is Fox lying?"
Moro sneered: "Although the 'change' can only be seen by the person involved and cannot be known by outsiders, once there is a 'change', the talent ball will shine, reminding me that the talent has appeared."
After Moro finished speaking, everyone naturally knew the cause and effect.
They had been watching from the sidelines, and the talented ball never shone from the beginning to the end. It was obvious that Fox was lying just now.
After hearing this, Leon showed a trace of suppressed anger on his face, and said to the head maid Mana: "From tomorrow on, I don't want to see Fox in Gru Town again."
Mana Fuli gave a low response and went out.
Everyone no longer paid attention to Fox's follow-up. Moro straightened his clothes, put away his impatient expression, and continued to test...
Two hourglass hours have passed, and all the servants have been tested, including the maid Mana and the guarding knights. No one has talent.
At this time, Moro looked at Angel.
Angel knew it was his turn.
……
"I'll go first. I'm also very interested in wizards. I just heard from Mr. Moro that wizards have a long lifespan and are immortal. This is exactly what I want." Leon blocked Angel and sat in front of Moro:
"If I live a long life, the more scenery I can see. I want to see all the beauty in this world."
When Angel saw his brother coming forward, he didn't step back. Instead, he sat next to Leon.
"You first." Angel gestured to Leon with a clenched fist, which was the gesture they used to cheer each other up when they were children.
Leon smiled and rubbed Angel's soft hair, then smiled slightly and stretched out his hand towards the talent ball.
The white sand of time in the hourglass fell slowly. Leon slowly roamed the room with his eyes, trying to find out where the 'change' was.
A minute passed, and Leon's eyes were full of disappointment, and then he let go of his hand on the talent ball.
"It seems... I have no talent." Leon regretted. He didn't notice any changes in this minute. As expected, as Moro said, talented people are too rare.
"It's up to you." Leon patted Angel on the shoulder.
Angel nodded and slowly put his hand on the smooth surface of the gift ball.
