Wizard Immortal

Chapter 281 Andrew

"What a lively city."

Standing on the young elf's shoulder, looking at the bustling city before him and the lingering, mysterious force field that enveloped it, the raven's eyes revealed interest: "I must say, the city on the surface is indeed superior to the underground world."

"In the underground world, gathering such a large population would not be an easy task."

"You should also take a look at where you are."

The elven youth spoke, his expression tinged with pride: "This is the city founded by my ancestors, personally built by the last Elf King. Naturally, it cannot be compared to any other place."

"The power of the ancient Elf King is truly astonishing."

The crow nodded: "Unfortunately, even this powerful city before us was managed to infiltrate..."

"That's because I am a descendant of the last Elf King, and I know the details of this magic array."

The young man said, "If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be so easy to sneak in like this."

"Let's go," the raven said. "I can't wait to see the power of this city."

After speaking, the young man fell silent, raised his head, and walked in a certain direction.

····················

"Is this where we register?"

Inside a bustling hall, a voice rang out.

Latina looked at the many elves standing in the hall and said with some surprise, "There are so many people."

In the hall before them stood dozens of elves, each sitting in their own place, seemingly waiting for something.

"These are all attendants, not applicants."

Lilith chimed in, "However, according to the information we've gathered, there will probably be quite a few participants in this bloodline trial."

She looked at Latina in front of her and spoke with a solemn expression.

Before setting off, the Oris family had researched the bloodline trials over the years. Although they could not obtain any useful information in a short time, they did have some understanding of the number of participants in previous years.

According to the intelligence gathered, the number of participants in each bloodline trial has never been less than one hundred.

This is the minimum number of participants. For each Bloodline Trial, the Royal Court grants a certain number of slots to various regions. Basically, every elven city and every major noble recognized by the Royal Court has a quota to participate in the Bloodline Trial for free.

Just these people alone could fill hundreds of spots, and if you include those who pay for their own admission, the number could increase several times over.

Especially this bloodline trial, because news of the impending demonic calamity has spread, the next bloodline trial may be indefinitely postponed.

Therefore, many people who originally planned to participate in the next trial will gather in this trial, making the number of participants seem even larger this time.

Adir showed little reaction to the large number of trial participants, but Latina appeared extremely nervous.

The elves who can participate in the bloodline trial are either carefully cultivated wizarding geniuses or noble scions with illustrious backgrounds. No matter which one they are, they are all beyond her reach.

Standing still, Adir noticed the tension and inferiority in Latina's heart, but he was not going to say anything.

This is a necessary transformation process.

With a younger brother like Adir, who is at the Transformation level, Latina's background is actually no less impressive than most people's, only inferior to the biological children of some second-level wizards.

In other words, she is now considered a noblewoman with a background, but her mindset hasn't changed yet, which is why she seems so sensitive.

In fact, standing next to Adir, she was already quite conspicuous.

During the few days spent in the capital, information about applicants from many places has been gathered, with Adir's situation being particularly noteworthy.

After all, while he might not be the first to participate in the bloodline trial with the strength of a metamorphosis-stage wizard, it was certainly a rare piece of information.

As Adir's older sister, Latina was naturally surrounded by an aura of prestige. During her recent visits to banquets in various places, many nobles took the initiative to flatter and fawn over her.

Latina had noticed this change, but it hadn't been long enough for her to fully adapt.

tread···

Suddenly, a series of light footsteps came from outside, and a familiar scent caught Adir's attention.

He turned around and saw a very tall young elf walking in, with a black raven perched on his shoulder.

"Haha, looks like we haven't gone to the wrong place this time!"

As he entered the hall, the young man let out a sigh, a hearty smile spreading across his extremely handsome face.

The young man was dressed in black, with a long sword at his waist. He was tall and handsome, with an air of aristocratic superiority that made people feel pressured when they saw him.

Looking at the young man who walked in, Adir felt for some reason that he looked somewhat familiar.

This feeling made him frown involuntarily, and even subconsciously recall it.

Before he could even think of anything, in the distance, upon seeing Adir, the tall elven youth's eyes lit up, and he strode directly toward him.

"Hello, my name is Andrew!"

He walked up to Adir, looked at him, and said with a warm and cheerful smile, "You must be Adir. I've heard of your reputation more than once during my time in the city."

"Hello there."

Seeing the other person's enthusiastic manner, Adir turned around and greeted them.

The moment they saw each other, they both felt a chill run down their spines, instinctively sensing a certain aura that made their hearts grow heavy.

They didn't talk for long; after exchanging greetings, they quickly parted ways and went their separate ways.

As he walked down the street, Adir unconsciously frowned as he glanced at the other person's back.

There is a very powerful force within Andrew. On the surface, it seems to be at the level of a formal wizard, but if someone close to a level two wizard were to sense it personally, they would be able to discover that the power within him has already reached the transformation stage.

If it were merely a simple period of transformation, judging from the other party's behavior, while it would surprise Adir, it wouldn't warrant such seriousness.

"His strength is definitely not just that of an ordinary transformation period."

Walking down the street, reflecting on the encounter just now, Adir thought to himself.

When he greeted the other party, in addition to the apparent mental connection, he also secretly used the chip's detection function.

As Adir's soul continues to strengthen, the functions of the chip on his body are also constantly improving. Especially now, even if the other party is a wizard in the transformation stage, he can detect detailed data.

Even so, when testing the other party, the chip still couldn't detect anything, as it was isolated by the other party's external mental field.

Being able to block the chip's detection function is a huge problem in itself, something that an ordinary metamorphosis-stage wizard could never do.

Only beings with a mental strength close to, or even greater than, Adir can achieve this.

Wanting to get here, Adir paused, turned slightly, and looked in the direction the other person was.

Their gazes met for a fleeting moment, each carrying a unique indifference, before drifting apart.

In the distance, Andrew withdrew his gaze, looked at Adir's retreating figure, and couldn't help but smile: "Interesting. I didn't expect that such a being could be born among the land elves with their thin bloodlines."

"Just as rumored, he is indeed in a period of transformation. Considering his age, his talent is truly terrifying."

On Andrew's shoulder, the raven closed its eyes and secretly communicated with Andrew through mental power.

"What a pity..."

Andrew shook his head, and finally led the crow away to the side.

"Please place your hand on this crystal..."

Inside the closed room, a relatively gentle voice rang out.

In front of a black counter, an old elven man in a green robe, with a somewhat sorrowful expression, looked at Adir and spoke, his attitude appearing rather respectful.

Nearby, Latina, having completed her test, stood quietly behind Adir, watching.

Looking at the old elven man before him, and casually glancing around without noticing anything amiss, Adir stepped forward, extending his right hand and gently placing it on the black crystal ball in front of him.

As his arm touched the black crystal ball, a change began to occur.

The black crystal ball began to slowly brighten, quickly emitting a white light, and becoming increasingly brighter.

Under the astonished gaze of the old elf, the crystal ball before him rapidly changed color, from white to red, and then from red to blue.

This change continued four times until the crystal ball in front of us turned completely purple, at which point it stopped changing.

"This...this..." A chorus of swallowing sounds came from all around.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people, including Latina, were completely stunned.

The black crystal ball in front of you is an instrument specifically used to test bloodline aptitude. Each color on it represents a level.

White represents the lowest grade, level one, while purple represents the highest grade, level five. Furthermore, the brighter the light, the better the aptitude within the same grade.

Several wizards who had participated in the bloodline trial had come to be tested before, but the one with the best aptitude could only turn the crystal ball to gold. The one with the worst aptitude, like Latina, could only make the crystal ball emit a dim red.

Before their eyes, the once pitch-black crystal ball was now shining brightly, its purple light illuminating almost the entire hall, leaving the large group of people in the room stunned.

"Can we finish now?"

Looking at the radiant crystal ball before him, Adir spoke, a hint of impatience in his voice.

There will be another chapter later.
