Throne of Magical Arcana

After three consecutive days of regular subject exams, the weather was uncommonly gloomy, with light rain, and cool to slightly cold.

"Donnie, how are you doing in the exam these days?" In the square of the Mills Noble School, Sammy asked Donnie beside him while waiting for the arrival of the magicians. After passing the exam, whether it was subjects such as magic structure and arcane basic theory, or the spellcasting test, none of them could stop him from rushing back to the dormitory to embrace sleep.

Downey looked at a bust of stone statues on the square - the most outstanding graduates of the Mills Noble School, tried to relax but still said nervously: "It's normal, I have exchanged answers with other people, You should be able to meet the standard for entering the Heidler Academy of Magic, and now we will watch the necromancy related content of this additional test, how about you?"

In the early morning, Sami was in good spirits. He yawned and said comfortably, "At least I didn't lose my standard. For me, that's enough."

He didn't ask about Downey's exam status, because when he was in the "Heart of Nature" school, he felt that he couldn't compare with Downey even in terms of necromancy-related theories and spell analysis. Casting speed, spell effects, step-up casting and special abilities are better than Downey.

The drizzle fell like a cow's hair and sprinkled on the apprentices in the square, but none of them hid in the teaching building, because in their cognition infected by TV stations, radio and newspapers, the necromancers had opposite tempers. Stranger, or more gloomy—whether it is the sacred medical field under the undead, or the body structure research field related to the undead, any field that deals with life, death, body, soul and other things will always give people Mysterious and terrifying but yearning for worship.

"Jane Heinrich Hunt, Countess, famous mathematician, astrologer..." Sammy whispered the words engraved under the bust in front of him, and then laughed, "Only mentioning mathematics, not this The lady's arcane and magic level, it seems that her strength is not strong, maybe not even higher than the middle level, she should be a lady who focuses on pure mathematics."

"What's so strange about this? Mr. Langman only became an official magician the year before last, but this does not prevent him from being ranked in the top 20 in the field of mathematics and science in the past ten years. He has solved several mathematical problems raised by His Excellency Evans. " Downey said with admiration, "Although Mr. Langman's magical talent is very ordinary, with his great contributions in the field of mathematics and science, he has obtained rich resources, transformed himself step by step, and made up for the gap. Our own The talent is stronger than him, so how can you give up? This lady should be in a similar situation, and she looks like a nobleman, the countess of the Heinrich family..."

Sami nodded slightly: "Well, besides, with the development of 'artificial intelligence', it already has a very terrifying computing power, which has given opportunities to many people who are poor in magic but strong in mathematics or theoretical arcane. With its assistance, their deficiencies are compensated to the greatest extent."

"I also want to have an 'artificial intelligence', which can avoid a lot of cumbersome calculations..." Downey sighed and said longingly, "Hey, the surname Hunter..."

His voice suddenly became a little higher: "I remember! This lady should be Mr. Ali Hunter's wife."

Ali Hunter, this is also a very inspirational name among ordinary people and magic apprentices. He also has poor magical talent, and his research on mathematics and theoretical arcane is not very outstanding. So far, he has only A Tier 1 Arcanist and a Tier 2 Magician.

However, at the beginning of the development of artificial intelligence, he relied on his keen intuition to earn the first pot of gold in his life. Later, he also received strong support from some werewolves and became their spokesperson, expanding his small company to magic communicators. , wired telephone, radio, satellite applications, werewolf security, mercenary dispatch and other fields, belong to the richest people in the entire Holm Empire.

The most enviable thing is that he later married Miss Jane of Duke Heinrich's family, and got rid of the image of an upstart. Since then, he has the support of the nobles and no longer relies solely on the werewolves.

For ordinary people, this is simply the most desirable life template. Although His Excellency Evans' experience is more exaggerated, more legendary, and more eye-catching and worshipful, it is also too exaggerated, too legendary, and too unimaginable! After hearing this, anyone who weighs himself will feel that he will never be able to do it. On the contrary, Ali's experience seems to rely more on luck and the opportunities brought by the torrent of the times, and he may not have such a day.

At that time, with the resources brought by money, I can also master the magical power of magic!

"Wow, it turned out to be her. In fact, if there is a statue here, it won't be too bad." Sami exclaimed exaggeratedly, then he looked at the wall clock on the magic experiment tower, and said doubtfully, " It's almost eight o'clock, why not start?"

Downey also finds it strange that the unified entrance examination for higher magic schools is a serious assessment conducted under the joint attention of Holm's royal family, the cabinet, and the "Arcane and Magic Education Committee" of the Magic Council, so there should be no major accidents.

At this time, more than a dozen somber-looking magicians flew out of the teaching building. Some of them wore Holm-style tight suits or long dresses, while others dragged long classical magic robes.

"It's finally here." Donnie heaved a sigh of relief.

The leading mage wearing a long black dress said in a low voice but resounding in everyone's ears: "The last one in the test number is an even number. Follow the mage on my left and go to the soul, ghost, ghost and other fields first. , the odd ones follow the mage on my right to take additional tests in the fields of body structure, corpse combination, undead awakening, etc., and then switch to each other in the afternoon. Don't think about asking each other about the content of the exam, because the content in the morning and afternoon is different. of."

Downey patted Sammy on the shoulder: "I'll go first."

He knew that Sammy's ending number was even and his own was odd.

"You will definitely succeed!" Sammy showed a rare bright smile on his usual dazed face, and at the same time he clenched his right hand and swung it down.

Downey also smiled and waved his fist in response.

After passing through the first teaching building, magicians kept leaving with apprentices with different suffixes, so the flow of people became thinner and thinner. At the end, Downey even felt a long-lost silence, as if he could hear See the birds singing happily in the shade.

Suddenly, he saw in front of a building that looked like a magic tower, surrounded by a group of people in dark black uniform coats, who were sealing off the surrounding area with alchemy barriers.

"People from Granling Street?" Downey's heart beat faster. Did something really happen?

Granling Street is the headquarters of the Holm Imperial Police Department, which refers to the police in the general population.

Then, he saw two middle-aged men with black scepter badges on their chests come out of it.

"The mages of the Parliament's punishment department? They were actually dispatched?" Downey's pupils narrowed slightly. This is the department responsible for the internal punishment and investigation of magicians.

The necromancer in front led the apprentices to the side, letting the two mages from the corrections department pass first.

"...The cause of death was cardiac arrest. The deceased himself had a relatively serious heart problem..." A brown-haired mage from the Correction Department communicated with his companions as he walked.

His companion nodded lightly and said: "It should be that the virtual adventure was too exciting. The illusion triggered a large amount of hormone secretion, which caused the deceased's hidden heart problem to break out. Unexpectedly, after the combination of Ms. Heidi's artificial intelligence and illusion, there is still Can make people die like this, hey, the Affairs Committee and the Magic Research Committee have an excuse to suspend similar projects."

"Hmph, I don't know what the state of my body is, and I deserve it if I die..."

Listening to the casual exchange between the two Corrections Department mages, Downey's imagination began to flow: "Games based on 'artificial intelligence'? 'Voice of Mystery' and TV shows have been mentioned, but it can actually make a player who is at least an official mage level The death of the strong is really unexpected..."

"Is there any conspiracy?"

As a teenager who is familiar with many legendary stories and loves to explore adventure programs, Downey is a standard "conspiracy theory".

But this little accident didn't bother Downey for long, because the additional test of the necromantic system was about to start, and other things had to be put aside.

A group of people entered a shady and cold magic tower. At this moment, a black-haired girl with elegant steps walked through the side door.

"It's so beautiful..." Although Tang Ni was worried about the exam, he still couldn't help being overwhelmed by the girl's radiance. She had short hair, but she couldn't hide her pure beauty. Even more gentle, people can't take their eyes off.

Suddenly, the girl's hazy silver-purple eyes became sharp, and everyone who was stared at by her subconsciously avoided their gaze. At the same time, she was wearing a simple black suit, trousers, and a bow tie of the same color... Eh , why men's attire? Wait, she has an Adam's apple! No, it should be him!

boom!

Downey felt his head buzzing, this "girl" who was prettier than all the ladies he had ever seen was actually a man!

Coughing sounds continued, and many apprentices choked on their saliva.

"Enter your own test room according to your test number." The slightly gray-haired necromancer said lightly, "Exam content: first identify which magical creature and which part the materials in the room come from, and then To design and refine a stitched corpse, the materials can be endless, but they cannot be taken away privately."

Downey shuddered, shook off the frustration just now, and quickly found his "laboratory", and the boy happened to be in the room next to him.
