Qualification Test (2)

Unlike the previous waiter, Gleson was a noble mid-level magician, and his attitude towards Drogo was naturally not as polite.

Seeing that it was someone like him conducting the test, Elaine's heart finally completely relaxed. The other party didn't know, but she knew very well that Drogo's own strength was at the fifth order, not much worse than Gleson's sixth order. In this way, there was no need to worry that the other party would see through his identity as a necromancer.

Elaine was about to follow, but Gleson said, "Miss, the mage level test cannot be watched by anyone other than mages. Please wait here." Elaine was about to say something, but Drogo gave her a look. Elaine understood that Drogo was telling her to relax and wait for him here.

Following alongside Gleson, Drogo certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to be in a familiar environment. After all, Matthew's memory of the world was still stuck three hundred years ago, and since he became a necromancer, his path had been completely bloody and lonely.

"Gleson, I have been practicing magic hard in my family, but I am still unclear about what the mage level test is all about. Can you tell me?"

Drogo's humble attitude impressed Gleson. As someone of his level, he had encountered many aristocratic offspring, but none of them were anything but arrogant and snobbish. Now that he had recognized Drogo as a young master of a great family, he was still so humble, leaving a great impression on Gleson.

"There's no problem with that. Our mage level test is in a uniform format and divided into three parts. First is the test of mental power. As long as you meet the standard, you will pass. Next is the test of magic spells. Being proficient in memorizing spells of the same level is a necessary ability for mages. The last item is the actual combat, which is also the most important one..."

Gleson gave a detailed explanation of what Drogo needed to pay attention to for the mage level test, and soon the two arrived at another room, a place specifically used to test mage levels.

"Okay, here it is. First, I need you to determine which level badge you want to test for."

Drogo had already learned the basic content of the mage level test from Gleson, so he naturally understood what the other party was asking, which was what level he wanted to test for.

If Drogo wanted to test for a first-level mage, then Gleson would use the corresponding level of strength to test him in actual combat.

Drogo smiled and said, "Then I'll start with the first level."

Drogo had his own plans in mind, and his magic wasn't something he had learned through his own practice. It came from Matthew's legacy. Although everything was already in his head, he lacked the most important thing, which was experience.

Now that he had such a good training partner here, Drogo naturally wanted to make good use of it. This was why he suggested starting from the first level. After passing the first level, he could still take the second level.

Gleson blinked in confusion as she looked at Drogo. She had already heard from the waiter about the magic Drogo had displayed. In her view, the level of control he showed was at least third level or higher. She did not expect Drogo to start from the first level.

However, Gleson did not say anything. Barlow City was too remote, and there were few magicians who came here to take level exams. It was rare to encounter someone like Drogo, and she did not want it to end so easily.

"Okay, you already know the rules. Now inject your spiritual energy into this detector. As long as it lights up, you pass."

In front of Drogo was something that looked like a crystal ball, except that the bottom of the crystal ball was embedded in a square box. Drogo knew that this was a tool that the magician's guild used to test a magician's spiritual power, but it was the lowest level and could only perform tests at intermediate and below levels.

Drogo placed his hand on it and his spiritual energy began to flow. As Drogo's spiritual energy was injected, the transparent crystal began to change.

First, red silk threads appeared on the surface of the crystal ball. Then the speed at which the red silk threads appeared began to increase, and soon they covered the entire surface of the crystal ball.

Looking at the crystal ball, which had turned pale red, Gleson nodded silently. The transformation of the crystal ball into red indicated that Drogo's spiritual power had reached the standard.

However, the changes did not stop there. Gleson did not call for a halt, and Drogo did not stop injecting his spiritual power. The crystal ball, which had turned red, became brighter and brighter, gradually forming a faint red halo around it, which was quite beautiful.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gleson's eyes. He did not tell Drogo that the crystal ball used to detect spiritual power had three types of changes. The first type was that the surface of the crystal ball turned red when the subject's spiritual power reached the standard of a first-level mage, which was the minimum requirement. The second type was when the subject's spiritual power surpassed the second level, and the crystal ball would become shiny and even emit a halo around it. The third type was the final change of the crystal ball, which occurred when the subject's strength exceeded that of a novice mage. The brightness of the crystal ball would reach its peak and then suddenly retract, returning to its original transparent appearance. This was also the performance of exceeding the test level.

As he watched the brightness on the crystal ball become more and more intense, Gleson felt both surprised and expectant. He hoped to see the crystal ball exhibit the third type of change, to prove that the young man in front of him had spiritual power that surpassed that of a novice.

The strength of spiritual power did not directly represent the strength of a mage, but it represented a mage's talent. If Drogo could really trigger the third change of the crystal ball, then no matter what the final result of this test was, it would prove that Drogo had outstanding talent in magic.

Such talent appearing in Barlow City, such a small city, as long as Drogo joined the Mage Guild, it would be a great contribution to Gleson to the Mage Guild.

In his heart, Gleson was dissatisfied with the headquarters for assigning him to Barlow City. However, due to his own limited strength and the lack of a family that could provide him with support, he was powerless to change it. His only chance was to make a contribution and be recalled by the headquarters.

This was also the reason why Drogo, who only showed a little strength in front of the servant, was personally tested by the deputy chairman of the branch. He was just too eager to dig up a good seedling and give himself a chance to leave this small, remote city.
