Chapter 512: The Assessment I

The behemoth black castle floated steadily in the air. It was a powerful casting tool. Such a casting tool was very powerful and could not possibly be transfigured by an average person.

Of course, its functions were much more developed compared to some Flying casting tools, and its speed was extraordinarily fast. This was a casting tool used by the top Legendary Wizards and was mobilized using the power of Maxims. Surely, this castle would be able to blast out a powerful force.

“Boom.”

The castle shook gently, and the door slowly opened. From the inside, out flew a stern-faced black-robed Wizard. Following behind him was a cool, haughty-looking young Wizard.

The platinum Wizard earlier flew into the sky toward the black-robed Wizard. In a solemn tone, he asked, “You’re here to recommend someone to Arcane City?”

The black-robed Wizard’s eyes narrowed and glared at the platinum Wizard blocking his way. Without any trace of decorum, he coldly answered, “Yes!”

The platinum Wizard pointed toward the fat Wizard and Merlin. “They’re also going to take the newcomers’ assessment. You can go together.”

“Them?”

The black-robed Wizard frowned slightly and was about to make a comment, but suddenly, he sensed a dangerous aura emitted by the platinum Wizard.

“Two Maxims, and one of them will soon be consolidated into an ultimate Maxim?”

Earlier, the black-robed Wizard completely ignored the platinum-robed Spell Caster. The black-robed Wizard controlled several large dimensions, and his authority was absolute. A single word from him could determine the life and death of a dimension. He considered himself as someone standing at the peak.

If this platinum long-robed Legend had only consolidated two Maxims, naturally, the black-robed Wizard would not be concerned. However, the Wizard in question had consolidated a Maxim almost to an ultimate level, thus, this Wizard could not be disregarded.

Once he had consolidated an ultimate Maxim, he would become a Great Honored Legend! Although the black-robed Wizard had consolidated four Maxims, he still would not be a worthy opponent of a Great Honored Legend.

Therefore, the black-robed Wizard gradually soothed his expression and did not speak further. He led the handsome young Wizard in front of Merlin and the others.

“Quickly, lead the way!”

The black-robed Wizard said quite impatiently to the fat Wizard. Obviously, the fat Wizard also dared not dither any longer. He took one glance at the haughty-looking young Wizard, and led the group to fly toward the newcomers’ assessment arena.

Along the way, Merlin was also gauging the young Wizard who would also be joining the assessment. Since he was accepted as a disciple by a Legend with four Maxims, he must definitely possess some extraordinary traits.

“We’re here!”

The fat Wizard appeared to be trembling slightly throughout the way. Indeed, being stared down from behind by a four Maxim Legendary Wizard would unnerve anyone.

The black-robed Wizard’s expression was stoic. Seeing a steeple floating in the air before them, he led the young Wizard, and swiftly entered the steeple.

The fat Wizard shook his head helplessly. “A four Maxim Legend is incredible. Even in Arcane City, they occupy a very high position. I wonder how formidable is the Spell Caster recommended by this Great Legend. Wizard Merlin, Wizard Mogan, let’s go in.”

Hence, Merlin and the others also flew into the steeple.

In the steeple were transparent crystals the size of a fist which emitted a bright light. These were made by Spell Casters who captured Light Elements and placed them inside special transparent crystals. They were able to light up darkness like daylight.

In the Glorious Land, Merlin could not find any Light Wizards outside of the Church of Light because no one could construct Light-type spells. However, in Arcane City, Merlin finally saw Light Element Wizards.

This indirectly meant that it was not that Spell Casters could not become Light Element Wizards but that there was something strange about the Glorious Land that prevented the appearance of Light Element Wizards. Furthermore, according to Merlin’s inference, it was largely linked to the Church of Light.

The specific reason, however, was unknown to Merlin.

The clear glossy marble shined brilliantly, and the pure white stone columns were engraved with dense runes, giving off an ethereal feeling.

At the front of the great hall, a few white-robed Wizards were lying lazily on the chairs, looking lethargic.

“Hmph!”

The black-robed Wizard who had consolidated four Maxims harrumphed, and in an instant, the entire great hall seemed to be filled with a frigid, bone-chilling draft. Even the lethargic Spell Casters were jolted awake by the extreme cold.

“Who?”

These white-robed Wizards were essentially Great Legends respectively, and to be able to stay in Arcane City meant that they were not ordinary Great Legends. They were previously Potential Wizards in Arcane City who had spent countless years to finally consolidate a Maxim and became a Great Legend. Some of them were unwilling to leave Arcane City, so they stayed on.

Thus, these Legendary Wizards were also quite arrogant.

However, this time, they encountered the black-robed Wizard, a top-level Legendary Wizard who had consolidated four Maxims, and controlled several large dimensions. As such, these arrogant white-robed Wizards dared not behave recklessly.

Seeing this, the fat Wizard snickered softly. “Hehe, these white-robed Wizards are finally tongue-tied. Normally, even a Legend with two Maxims isn’t given much attention by them.”

The fat Wizard’s face was filled with righteous anger. It looked like he held deep “contempt” for these Wizards.

“Sir Wizard, please display your Legends’ Accord badge!”

When the white-robed Wizards saw that the black-robed Wizard was a four Maxim Great Legend, they did not dare dawdle and woke up to prepare for the assessment.

“Slap.”

The black-robed Wizard flung out a badge which was fully engraved with runes. On it were details of the black-robed Wizard’s identity. It belonged to the Legends’ Accord. Only Legendary Wizards who were recognized as part of the Legends’ Accord would have this badge.

With this badge, Arcane City could investigate some of the Legendary Wizard’s accomplishments as well as whether they had used their recommendation quota before. Moreover, only Legends who held the Legends’ Accord badge would be able to enter Arcane City.

Those Legends who had not signed the Legends’ Accord such as the plunderers, were completely unable to enter Arcane City.

After the black-robed Wizard handed over his badge, the white-robed Wizards became even more cautious than before. Carefully, they said, “Legend Blackcloud, the one who battled alone against four gods and killed all of them as well as occupy several dimensions!”

“It’s Legend Blackcloud!”

Even Wizard Mogan, after finding out the black-robed Wizard’s identity, held a look of reverence in his eyes.

The battle records of Legend Blackcloud could be considered well-known throughout the entire Spell Caster world. Only very few Legendary Wizards would not have heard of Legend Blackcloud’s battle records. He was the one who stood alone against four big gods, and killed all of them. Such a battle record had not been seen for a long time.

In fact, many of the powerful Great Legends had only defeated Legend Blackcloud but could never kill him!

The white-robed Wizards shifted their gazes toward the young Wizard beside Legend Blackcloud and smiled. “Legend Blackcloud, your recommendation quota has indeed not been used before. Are you going to use your one and only recommendation to let your disciple Saturn into Arcane City?”

The young and arrogant Wizard was Saturn. He was highly prized by Wizard Blackcloud, to the extent that Wizard Blackcloud used his one and only recommendation to send him into Arcane City.

“Yes, Saturn is my most prized disciple. His future achievements would not be any lesser than mine! My one and only recommendation is given to Saturn!”

Wizard Blackcloud said with a firm expression. After all, this one and only recommendation was very precious. Even a Great Legend like him who had consolidated four Maxims was only entitled to one recommendation. Once he had used it, there would not be another chance. The fact that he was willing to use it on Saturn was a testament to his high esteem of Saturn.

The white-robed Wizards nodded and turned to Saturn. “Wizard Saturn, Wizard Blackcloud has recommended you into Arcane City, and upon our review, there are no issues. From now on, you’re a Potential Wizard in Arcane City. Nevertheless, based on convention, you’ll need to go through some assessments. Of course, the assessment is very simple and is only used by Arcane City to find out some general information about the Potential Wizards.”

“Alright!”

Saturn’s expression was as cool as an iceberg, with not a single trace of a smile.

“Oh right, the rest of you can come along as well.”

The white-robed Wizard saw that Merlin and the others were still behind, so he spoke to them offhandedly.

Wizard Mogan also stepped forward and took out his Legends’ Accord badge. Upon verification of his identity, Merlin also finally joined Arcane City and became one of its members.

“Wizard Saturn and Wizard Merlin, prepare yourselves for the assessment.”

Thereafter, the white-robed Wizard said to Legend Blackcloud and Legend Mogan, “Great Legends, you may watch the assessment but according to the rules of Arcane City, you must leave once the assessment is over. Furthermore, without being summoned by the Ultimate Arcane Wizard or becoming an Honored Legend specially employed by Arcane City, you mustn’t take another step into Arcane City again!”

Although Wizard Blackcloud was arrogant, he also understood the rules of Arcane City, so he nodded. Then, his gaze landed on Saturn. As for this disciple, Wizard Blackcloud was very satisfied with him.

“Wizard Saturn, please prepare for the assessment!”

The white-robed Wizard first requested Wizard Saturn to step forward to a huge crystal ball shimmering with colorful rays of light. Wizard Saturn did not hesitate. Following the white-robed Wizard’s request, he extended his hand on the crystal ball.

“Whirr.”

The huge crystal hall immediately emitted a dazzling radiance. Colorful light rays were reflected across the entire great hall, almost like a dream state.

The white-robed Wizards, on the other hand, were staring closely at the huge crystal ball and began to count every single light ray because every light ray represented a type of spell. This was to test how many types of spells the Spell Caster had constructed.

“One, two, three… Six types! There are six types. Wizard Saturn is a Six-Elemental Spell Caster!”

“Finally, another Six-Elemental Spell Caster has appeared. It has been six hundred years. Another Six-Elemental Spell Caster has finally appeared in Arcane City!”

“It’s not surprising that Legend Blackcloud prized Saturn so highly. He’s indeed incredible. Six-Elemental Spell Casters are truly rare. Besides one Seven-Elemental Wizard who had appeared thousands of years ago, the most talented Spell Casters are the Six-Elemental Wizards.”

Looking that the light rays emitted by the crystal ball, the white-robed Wizards were all stunned. Even in Arcane City, the land of prodigies, a Six-Elemental Spell Caster would still stand out at the very top.
