While riding back in the carriage, Angel was still thinking about what the information Gurman had collected mentioned above showed that Lucas himself had no bright spots at all. What were the other people who inquired about Lucas doing?
Woolen cloth?
Moreover, they are all extraordinary people.
Angel himself asked for information about Lucas, purely to clear up doubts. He had the attitude of finding it or not. But now, several groups of people who are also looking for information about Lucas have popped up. This makes
A strange feeling arose in his heart.
It was just a temporary curiosity at first, but now his curiosity about Lucas is getting stronger and stronger.
Angel plans to continue his in-depth investigation of Lucas. After all, Lucas's logbook is still in his possession. There are several specific locations in it. He plans to go and take a look...
"Anjou Dynasty - Lost Music City?" Angel remembered that there was a logbook that said that Lucas decided to commit suicide because others did not trust him. And the place where he committed suicide was in Lost Music City.
If Lucas really committed suicide in Lost Music City, his ship and bones would not appear in the Devil's Sea, let alone be recorded in the logbook.
But after all, the last entry in the logbook was about Lucas' suicide. So, he planned to go there and have a look.
However, before that, Angel had to confirm one thing.
Who is checking up on Lucas?
The purple-haired woman who can turn into a bird may not be found for the time being. But Gurman said that the first group of people will come to them again to get information, but they can go and take a look when the time comes.
While Angel was thinking, there was a sound of Charles coughing outside the carriage.
Angel thought it was because of the cold weather and didn't pay attention. But when Nate, who was sitting near him, heard Charles cough, he stretched out his fingers and rubbed the bridge of his nose with a slightly hesitant expression.
Charles' cough continued.
Nite noticed that even Angel raised his head and looked out of the car. He sighed and walked to Angel's side.
"Sir, Charles has a small request, I hope you can agree to it..." After Nite finished speaking, he noticed Angel's expressionless face and immediately changed the subject: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't agree."
Angel raised his eyebrows. He thought Charles had a cold, but it turned out he was sending a signal to the car.
"Tell me." Angel was not surprised. When he came to Shenmu Street, Charles and Nite's eyes met from time to time, and he had already seen it at that time.
The world of wizards has always been about equal exchange. Since Charles helped him, he didn't mind hearing what Charles wanted. Of course, whether he was willing to help or not was another matter.
"It's like this. Charles has been admiring the world of wizards since he was a child, but he has no way to enter. This time, when he heard about the adults, he wanted to ask the adults to guide him..." Nite said more
The lower his voice became, the more he seemed to understand that he was going too far.
Angel was noncommittal about this.
Before Nite spoke, he had roughly guessed what would happen next, and it turned out that his guess was not wrong.
Seeing Angel pondering, Nite lowered his head.
Charles, who was outside the car curtain, also tightened the reins in his hands at this time, his heart beating rapidly.
After a long while, Angel said: "Nite, you have been on the Yunluo for several years. You should know that entering the world of wizards is not something you can do just because you want to, right?"
Nite squeaked.
"If you want to enter the world of wizards, the prerequisite is to have talent. If you don't have talent, it can only be said that you have no chance of being extraordinary." Angele paused: "For the sake of Charles' previous help, I can give him a test.
Given the chance of talent, if he has talent, I wouldn’t mind being a guide and leading him to get started.”
"Really?" Charles suddenly stuck his head in, with a look of surprise on his face.
Angel did not lower his voice when he spoke, but he actually said it to Charles: "The premise is that you have talent."
Charles took a deep breath: "I know, some of the books I have read have recorded things about wizards. If I didn't have the talent, I would no longer have extravagant hopes and would accept my fate and take over my father's class."
"It sounds like you feel aggrieved. Your father is the lord of Yuese City. You take over from him, and you still don't seem satisfied." Nite complained in a low voice.
"Rather than being immersed in the whirlpool of power, I want to escape from this prison." Charles's expression was serious, contrary to the playboy look he had shown when he faced Gurman's maid.
Everyone has their own story. Charles appears to be a playboy, but he actually has his own persistence in his heart.
Angel chuckled softly, so, what about you, Lucas? You appear to be a liar, but are you sincere at heart?
"I came from Fan Continent, and I also have the responsibility to find talented people." Angel pondered for a moment: "Since you want to test your talent, you might as well do me a favor and find some people who are interested in the path of wizards.
I will make time this Sunday to test it for you."
Charles' eyes lit up after hearing this: "I formed a club in the college. They are all interested in the extraordinary world. Can I invite them too?"
"Okay." Angel said and looked at Nite: "If you have any friends, you can introduce them to me. On Sunday, I will be there..."
Angel originally wanted to test other people's talents at Alwen's house, but then he thought about it. After all, Alwen's house is a private residence, and without the owner's consent, it would be suspected of violating the rules.
"Why don't you come to my house?" Charles suggested.
"Okay, let's just stay at the City Lord's Mansion."
Angel thought that although taking the test in the city lord's mansion might bias the test toward the nobility, it had to be said that the chance of a noble becoming a gifted person was much greater than that of a commoner. A superior living environment would always be more advantageous.
Of course, this is only a relative term. The talents of many civilians are still very strong. For example, the man named Yisli who was on the Bauhinia was the first person among all talents to enter the apprenticeship realm. He was actually a civilian, and even
Not even a commoner, just a servant in a noble family.
"I wonder if there are any restrictions on those selected to participate in the talent appraisal?" Charles asked.
"Except for the age limit of under thirty, there are no other restrictions. No matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, you can come."
In fact, it is possible to become a gifted person after the age of thirty. However, the older you get, the more complex your thoughts will be, and the more difficult it will be to meditate. Moreover, the barbaric cave’s admission rule is that people under the age of thirty are better, so it is easier to cultivate loyalty.
.
After the matter was settled, Charles's expression was always smiling, as if he was already sure of becoming a genius.
However, this smile froze three days later.
Sunday.
In the hall of the city lord's palace, many noble lords gathered, and outside the hall door, many young nobles lingered, chatting in high spirits.
People kept coming in outside the door of the city lord's mansion.
This time, the wizard wanted to test the recruitment of disciples, and word spread from the college area in almost a short time. Not only the people in the upper city knew about it, but even some people in the lower city and even the slums heard about it.
Now, in a small corner of the city lord's palace, some civilians were huddled together and whispering. There were even a few people in ragged clothes standing silently on the outside. Even if they were ostracized, they did not leave.
Lord Richard walked back and forth in the hall, his expression slightly anxious. Now, it is Charles who is testing his talent. If Charles really has a chance to become a talent, then the glory of the Manson family may last longer.
!
Richard's eyes were fixed on the curtains on the side of the hall. Through the curtains, there was a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was the place where the talent test was held.
"I didn't expect that Yuese City would also welcome a wizard this time. I heard that a wizard landed on the east coast ten years ago to recruit disciples. The one my son missed, this time is in Yuese City. We must seize the opportunity.
"A noble lady wearing a wide-brimmed hat was chatting with her best friend next to her.
"I really don't know what the wizard is thinking. Even the civilians have come in. If it weren't for my daughter, I wouldn't want to stand here and breathe the air here with those civilians."
"Stop talking. When the wizard arrived just now, I noticed how he was dressed. He is probably not a nobleman. It would be bad if he heard what you said."
The aristocratic lady who spilled the beans immediately took out an exquisite folding fan to cover half of her face, which was covered with white ointment.
During the discussion with rustling voices in the hall, the curtain was pulled open.
Charles came out.
As soon as Richard saw his youngest son coming out, he immediately stepped forward to greet him. When he saw Charles' pale face, he understood the result without telling him.
Richard sighed softly: "This is fate."
The smile that Charles had worn on his face for several days disappeared at this moment, and he sat in the hall absentmindedly. The noisy nobles also became quiet at this time.
"Even Charles failed. Is this talent test so difficult?"
"Sigh...I'm a little worried about my daughter now."
The noble lady, who had a folding fan covering her face, began to sigh in a low voice again.
Time passed slowly, waves of people came in, and waves of people came out frustrated.
From morning to afternoon, when it was almost dusk, nearly a thousand people were tested. No one passed the test.
This not only made the nobles on the scene look confused. Even Angel himself was shocked by the difficulty of this talented person's task. It seemed that he was lucky enough to meet Duru on the boat.
When the last person left, the City Lord's Mansion, which had been busy all day, slowly fell into silence.
Angel yawned and walked out.
If no one passes the test, the day is in vain. No wonder, no one is willing to take on this task of being a guide. Not only is it a waste of time, but the chance of finding a talented person is extremely low.
When Angel came out, he heard a pair of aristocratic ladies holding folding fans questioning the test.
"Could he be cheated? My son actually failed?"
"It must be a liar. My daughter just said that she was just asked to touch the crystal ball and then kicked out. It was not a test at all! I heard that wizards value knowledge and specially asked my daughter to memorize a lot of things, but it turned out that there was no
Written test! Not formal at all.”
When Angel saw Charles talking to his father, he walked directly to the pair of people who questioned him without saying hello.
"Speaking ill of people behind their backs will turn them into talkative women." Angel said as he threw two phantom auras on both of them.
In an instant, they screamed and shouted strange words. At the same time, they pointed at each other's face in horror, "Why has your face changed? What's wrong with you? Don't pull my tongue...ah!"
Seeing them tearing each other apart and screaming, everyone present fell silent.
Obviously, this was the handiwork of the wizard. At this time, no one dared to question this test, and no one even dared to express it.
After a while, when they saw that Angel made no other move, they boldly said goodbye and left. Only the husbands of the two ladies came over, with expressions of embarrassment and fear on their faces.
"Talk is not the behavior of a noble. This is just a small punishment. It will disappear in a month." Before they could speak, Angel left these words and turned around to leave.
He didn't respond at all to the city lord's request to stay behind him. With a step of his flying boots, he flew into the air and disappeared.
Because not long ago, Toby flew back to tell him some news.
——The group of people he was waiting for finally arrived.
