The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 51 The exam begins

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the exam.

It was still the open space where the entrance examination was held. Richard was standing in the corner wearing a hidden cloak, holding a handful of iron beans in his hand and feeding Wu Ni.

"Richard, you still prefer to hide."

A voice suddenly came from beside Richard. He turned around and saw a female wizard apprentice with a pointed wizard hat on her head, a long stick in her hand, and dark circles under her eyes coming to his side.

"Ellie, long time no see." Richard greeted her and handed Wu Ni over.

Over the years, the relationship between the two has gradually changed from being lovers to being just like a gentleman. This is because time has passed and the relationship has lost its freshness. It is also due to the wizard's teachings.

Under the wizard's guidance, both of them realized one thing very clearly.

Without becoming a wizard, everything is false.

But even so, some things happened between the two that went beyond friendship. For example...

Exchange research results with each other.

He and Ellie reached a very good cooperation model, that is, he provided magic stones to purchase spell models and library materials, handed them over to Ellie for modification, and the final results were shared by both of them.

Simply put, he pays, Ellie works, and they share the final result.

Of course, this sharing is only superficial. What Ellie learned from Susanna will definitely not be shared with Richard, and cannot be shared with Richard.

But this still brought Richard a lot of benefits.

In addition, Ellie would also customize some magic costumes and alchemical props from Richard, and Richard would only charge for the cost price.

Ellie touched Wu Ni's feathers, and Wu Ni also rubbed Ellie's hand affectionately.

"I guess it will be a random teleportation this time. Let's discuss the meeting and location?"

Richard took out the map that the academy had distributed in advance. The examination area for this exam was very large, a circle with a radius of 50 kilometers. Within this area, all apprentices would survive for a month and obtain at least one apprentice mark.

The Apprentice Mark is a curse mark that is injected into the apprentice's body before the academy exam begins, and it will automatically disappear after the exam.

This curse mark has two effects. One is to prevent the apprentice from leaving the examination room. The curse mark will automatically explode into a fatal curse after the apprentice leaves the examination room. The other is to facilitate the statistics of the apprentice's kill count. This curse mark will automatically transfer to the murderer who killed the apprentice when the apprentice dies.

Unlike the entrance exam, this time the academy opened the exchange of apprentice marks for magic stones. Each apprentice mark can be exchanged for 100 magic stones in the academy, and there is no limit on the number of times.

In other words, if you are strong enough, you will definitely make a lot of money after taking this exam.

In addition, the academy also set up a scoreboard. Every time an apprentice's apprentice mark is obtained, one point will be added to the scoreboard. When the exam is over, the top ten on the scoreboard will receive rewards from the academy, and the top three will receive special rewards from the dean.

Of course, in addition to fighting with the apprentices, the academy also placed ten magical creatures with the strength of senior apprentices in the examination room. These creatures will indiscriminately kill apprentices in the examination room. Although killing these creatures will not obtain the apprentice mark, you will get a fine magic outfit and a reward of fifty points.

In other words, in terms of points, one magical creature is equivalent to fifty apprentices. If you want to compete for the top ten in the standings, killing these magical creatures is essential.

"Let's meet at the center point." Ellie clicked on the map.

"No one knows where you will end up if you teleport randomly. At least the center point has the academy's mark."

Richard nodded, "Alright, see you at the center then. Don't let anyone trick you."

Ellie rolled her eyes at Richard and said, "Do you think I'm still the same Ellie from ten years ago?"

The exam time soon arrived, and this time Vice President Erics was still the examiner.

Alex flew into the air, and a huge pressure instantly silenced the wizard apprentices.

"Apprentices of the 432nd class of the Black Tower Wizard Academy, I am your examiner, Alex. There are a total of 4,121 candidates for this exam, and 4,121 candidates actually showed up. The exam rules have been distributed in advance, so I won't repeat them here.

Now I declare the examination to begin."

It was still a brief opening. Alex waved his hand and white light appeared under the feet of many apprentices. At the same time, illusory black chains stretched out from under the feet of the apprentices, leaving a black pentagram on their hands.

As the scenery in front of him changed into countless abstract blocks of color, Richard's figure instantly disappeared in the teleportation array.

When the scenery in front of him returned to normal, a hill covered with bushes appeared in front of him.

"I still feel a little sick." Richard frowned. Although the sick feeling caused by the teleportation array was offset by his physique, the discomfort still made him want to vomit. Looking around, Richard found that there seemed to be an apprentice not far away from him, and the apprentice also saw Richard.

"Good luck." The apprentice laughed at Richard.

Then a fireball hit them.

"It's really good luck."

Richard's expression remained unchanged, and a magic barrier instantly appeared in front of him.

boom!
The fireball exploded, but not even a ripple appeared on the magic shield.

"It's too weak. The secondary fireball is still the original version sold by the academy. There is no improvement at all."

Richard shook his head, took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the apprentice, holding the greatsword on his back in his hand.

"Goodbye."

With a swing of the sword, a huge head flew up.

This apprentice hadn't even reached the intermediate level and didn't even have a chance to resist Richard.

After killing the man, Richard looked at the mark on his hand. The originally black pentagram seemed to have become a little darker.

He also sensed a weak wave of magical power constantly emanating from the mark.

"It's interesting. This magical fluctuation should be the signal of the wizarding world." Richard pondered for a while and guessed in his heart.

He glanced at the sky and saw a beam of light directly in front of him. It was the center point of the entire examination room and a landmark for apprentices to determine direction.

Richard was about to move forward towards the beam of light when he suddenly felt a chill on his spine.

The guardian pendant was triggered, and a magic shield instantly appeared on Richard's back, blocking an invisible wind blade. At the same time, Richard also used breathing techniques to fully stimulate his bloodline.

In an instant, the apprentice who was attacking saw Richard suddenly grow from a tall ordinary apprentice into a two-meter-tall humanoid monster covered with black scales.

"Bloodline alchemy! And it has been done at least twice." The apprentice's eyes widened, and he put up a magic barrier without thinking.

The next moment, a huge sword burning with black flames smashed into the barrier.

The black flames spread rapidly on the barrier, and the apprentice immediately realized that his magic power was rapidly dissipating.

The flame was burning his magic.

"escape!"

The apprentice had only one thought: there was no way he could defeat this apprentice from the alchemy school.

He propped up the barrier and took out a scroll from his arms and opened it.

With a loud 'bang', the body of the apprentice who attacked him exploded into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in an instant.

"Short-distance space warp." Richard recognized the effect of the spell, but immediately sneered.

"Muni, look where that guy teleported to."

The crow chirped happily, then immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

"Want to run? It's not that easy."

At the same time, such things were happening in every corner of the examination room.

The apprentices of the School of Transmutation waved their staffs, and a fire crow burned the enemy to ashes; the apprentices of the School of Undead casually pointed their fingers, and an apprentice fell to the ground, and his flesh and blood continued to shrink and eventually turned into a skinny zombie; the apprentices of the School of Souls just roared, and the mental shock knocked the surrounding apprentices unconscious. Although the apprentices of the School of Curse were not good at direct combat, in the invisible corners, the cursed poisonous insects were spreading.

In this exam, all apprentices presented the results of their ten years of study. They vowed to pave their own wizarding path with the corpses of others.
