Qualification Test (1)

Barlow City may not be big, but because it is a strategic location adjacent to the King's Forest, it is considered to be small but perfectly formed. Apart from the country, the two most powerful guilds, the Mage Guild and the Warrior Guild, have branches in Barlow City.

Drogo needs to obtain an official mage status through the Mage Guild in order to become a mage. This is also the place he and Elaine are going now, with the goal of passing the mage qualification exam and obtaining a mage badge.

"Drogo, are you really not worried?" Elaine spoke of her worries even though they were about to reach the Mage Guild.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Unless the other person is a ninth-level or higher mage, they won't be able to recognize me as a necromancer. Although the Mage Guild is full of powerful mages, no one in this small Barlow City can recognize my identity." Drogo's words were not unfounded. His own strength had reached the level of a fifth-level intermediate mage. As long as he didn't reveal his necromancy, no one with lower strength than a grand mage would be able to see through his disguise.

Hearing Drogo's words, Elaine finally felt relieved. The two of them soon arrived at the door of the Mage Guild.

"Miss, this is the Mage Guild. Can I help you with anything?" As they say, clothes make the man. At this moment, without Drogo deliberately pretending to be someone else, outsiders directly assumed he was Elaine's servant.

Now, the two attendants of the Mage Guild directly approached Elaine without even giving Drogo a glance. Despite being as obedient as a kitten in front of Drogo, Elaine's innate princess temperament easily revealed itself to outsiders. Coupled with her outfit, no one would suspect that she was a young lady from some prominent family.

"It's not me you're looking for, it's my friend here. He's a mage."

Elaine almost let slip, but fortunately the two waiters didn't notice anything amiss. They just looked at Drogo in surprise. They never expected that this guy, clad in heavy armor and emanating a ferocious aura, would be a mage.

Seeing their suspicion, Drogo remained expressionless, only extending a finger on which a small fireball circled like a bird in flight.

It's worth noting that everyone has spiritual power. Once someone has a certain level of spiritual power and learns some basic magic, they can be called an apprentice mage. This is not uncommon, and at least these two waiters are both apprentice mages.

Like mages, apprentice mages can communicate with the magical elements between heaven and earth, but they cannot control them. Once they can freely manipulate the magical elements, they have already crossed the threshold into magehood, and the only remaining issue is the strength of their magical manipulation.

Seeing the fireball circling around Drogo's finger, this was already a very precise manipulation, so they naturally would not suspect him any longer. They quickly apologized to Drogo and bowed to him.

Drogo did not mind their different attitudes towards him before and after. To him, they were just two watchdogs, not worth considering. Even in his previous world, such people were everywhere. Treating them, as long as you show them the strength they can look up to, they will do what a follower should do.

"Sir Mage, may I ask why you have come to our Barlow branch?" The waiter who accompanied Drogo and Elaine into the mage guild asked.

Drogo smiled and pointed to his chest, saying, "You see, I am not wearing a mage badge."

The waiter nodded foolishly. He was just wondering why Drogo, a noble mage, did not wear the badge that symbolized his identity. If Drogo had been wearing it, he wouldn't have shown that attitude before.

"That's because I've been studying magic at home and haven't taken the mage level exam yet. I happened to pass by Barlow City this time and coincidentally, there is a branch of our mage guild in the city. I came to see what level my magic has reached and also to get the badge."

"Oh, I see," said the waiter, with a look of sudden realization. In his view, Drogo and Elaine must be young masters and misses from some big family, traveling around. Only the offspring of a big family could possess powerful magic while not having taken the level exam for the magician's guild. And only people like them would not care about the magician badge.

"This is the lounge, please wait a moment, my colleague has already gone to inform, and Master Gleson will come to conduct the level evaluation for you personally later."

Drogo didn't expect the waiter to have prepared all of this for him. He had thought he would need to register and take the exam himself.

Drogo naturally didn't know that this kind of treatment was indeed quite special. Normally, receptionists were only responsible for leading visitors into the magician's guild and that was it. But Drogo's mastery of magic and Elaine's special temperament made these two waiters assume that they were important people. This is how they arranged everything so thoroughly.

As the waiter left, another person came over.

The first impression of the person who came was that he was fat. He was about thirty years old and wore a gray magic robe that was spotless and didn't even have a wrinkle.

"Are you here to take the magician's evaluation?"

Drogo had already heard from the waiter that this person was Master Gleson, a mid-level magician of the sixth order.

Slightly bowing, Drogo said, "Respected magician, I am here to take the evaluation."

"Okay, follow me."
