Chapter 3 Magic Temple
Tenglong City, a branch of the Magic Temple.
Hu Na was already waiting here early in the morning. As the deputy director of the Tenglong City Government Affairs Department, she has quite strong connections in the city.
Not long after, a luxurious carriage arrived. On the carriage, the exclusive badge of the Priest Temple was engraved. The badge exuded a touch of gold. The pattern of the badge was a pair of palms facing each other, with concave palms. It smells of holiness, kindness and prayer.
The carriage stopped, and it was Long Leilei who got out of the car first. When he saw Hu Na, he immediately greeted her with a smile on his face, "Director Hu, you are here so early, we should wait first. You are right!"
Hu Na snorted, "Don't talk about these useless things in the future. If you have the ability, just deal with your tigress."
"Ahem." Long Leilei coughed twice in embarrassment, turned around and shouted towards the carriage: "Why don't you two little bastards get down quickly?"
In the car, Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong got off.
"Dad, brother, he said he didn't want to go." As soon as he got off the car, Long Dangdang complained immediately.
"I didn't!" Long Kongkong glared at his twin brother.
"You two, please be quiet and go whether you want to or not. Listen to Aunt Hu later, do you hear me? If you keep tossing..." At this point, Long Leilei showed a gentle smile on his face. He looked at the two brothers and said, "I'll send you two to the military camp for military training. Well, you can also find the instructor from last time."
When the two brothers heard this, they couldn't help shivering.
According to the regulations of the Temple Federation, one must be ten years old to be admitted to the Temple Academy. The period before the age of ten is a happy childhood for children, and they are not allowed to practice cultivation, which puts pressure on the children. However, for many families who are interested in giving their children a better future, there are other options, such as sending them to military camps to "experience life."
Brothers Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong were sent there three times, and every time it was absolutely painful! Long Dangdang's laziness as a child was completely changed. Long Kongkong was always restless, but when it came to the military camp, both brothers became pale.
"Okay, don't scare the children. It's almost time. Dangdang, Kongkong, you come with me." Hu Na looked at this handsome boy who looked exactly the same with gentle eyes, and couldn't help but think to herself, what if this is my son? How wonderful it would be!
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but glare at someone fiercely.
Long Leilei shuddered and hurriedly smiled apologetically, "Then I'll trouble you, Na... Director Hu."
Although Long Leilei is the deputy temple master of the Tenglong City Priest Branch Temple, the Federation has express regulations that different temples need to maintain an isolated relationship to ensure the independence of the temples from each other. In fact, it is also for the mutual supervision of the major temples. Therefore, even if he is the deputy temple master, he cannot take his son to other temples for assessment.
He actually treasured his twin sons very much. When they reached the age, he planned to send them to various temples for tests to determine which career they should choose when they enter the temple academy in the future.
Ling Xue is the summoner of the Soul Temple, but she is most interested in the profession of magician. Therefore, she asked Long Leilei to give priority to sending her two sons to the Magic Temple for testing. If they can succeed, then naturally is the best choice.
Following Hu Na into the Magic Temple, Magic Temple personnel wearing gorgeous magic robes came to greet her. The major temples are very polite to the Government Affairs Department. After all, the Government Affairs Department manages people's livelihood, and many basic resources of the major temples are allocated by the Government Affairs Department of the city where they are located.
Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong looked around the Magic Temple curiously. In the hall of the Magic Temple, it felt a bit strange to them. The air here seemed different from the outside world. They were surrounded by statues of different colors. The statues looked They look a bit like humans, but not completely, because these statues are slender than humans, and there are wings on their backs.
"Aunt Hu, what are these?" Long Kongkong asked curiously, not acknowledging life at all.
Hu Na said: "The magic temple enshrines the elemental elves. Afterwards, one of the assessments you will conduct requires the approval of the elemental elves, and the other is a test of your innate magic and spiritual power. The combination of the two results will determine your Are you suitable to become a magician?"
Long Kongkong curled his lips and said, "It's boring."
Hu Na asked curiously: "Don't you want to be a magician? Which temple do you like?"
Long Kongkong said lazily: "I don't like them all very much. If I had to choose one, the Priest Temple seems to be better. Dad often said that there are so many beauties in their Priest Temple."
Hu Na couldn't help but dumbfounded, "What did your father teach you? It's really awesome..."
She turned to look at Long Dangdang, who had not spoken and looked a little reserved. "You are the elder brother, right? What about you? Which temple do you like?"
Long Dangdang puffed up his chest and said, "I listen to my mother. My mother likes magicians, so I will become a magician."
Long Kongkong curled his lips and said, "Flattery."
"Pa!" Long Dangdang slapped him on the head.
"Long Dangdang, I will fight with you." Long Kongkong was about to pounce fiercely.
"Okay, okay, the assessment is about to begin." Hu Na hurriedly stood between the two of them, but she didn't notice that there was an extra foot under her feet. She stumbled and almost fell down.
Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong looked at each other, and their eyes communicated for a moment. They were about to do something else, when suddenly they felt a strange pressure. When he turned around to look, he saw a magician wearing a red magic robe walking over. The invisible pressure came from this person.
"Are these two children going to be tested? Come with me." The red-robed magician nodded to Hu Na.
Hu Na had already stood firm at this time, but she looked a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but feel helpless. These two children looked so lovable when they were honest, but they were really troublesome when they made trouble.
"Excuse me, Magister Guo Xu."
"You're welcome, Director Hu."
After the greetings, the mage named Guo Xu took Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong to the Magic Temple.
Hu Na did not follow. She was just an ordinary person. Both the federal government and local government offices required that government managers should not be from the temple.
The brothers were taken to a huge room. As soon as they entered the door, they were attracted by the magnificent golden patterns on the ground. The patterns that seemed to be painted on it exuded a faint light, and those lights were more like life, rhythmically moving from time to time, changing into strange brilliance.
The whole room is circular, with a circle of sculptures around it, the same as those in the hall outside, there are more than a dozen.
"Which one of you will come first?" Magister Guo Xu walked to the center of the room and stood there, looking at the two brothers calmly.
"I'll go first." Long Kongkong, who has never had stage fright, raised his hand without hesitation.
"Okay, you go to the center of the light pattern on the ground." Magister Guo Xu guided.
Long Kongkong did as he was told, and turned to look at his brother with a proud look, as if to say, let you see if I am good or not.
Magister Guo Xu said in a deep voice: "Stay calm and stop moving."
"Oh." Long Kongkong then turned to look at the magician, his eyes still full of curiosity.
The next moment, the light patterns on the ground began to emit more and more powerful light. Suddenly, Long Kongkong felt a warmth all over his body, which was indescribably comfortable.
And standing at Long Dangdang's position, what he saw was that the statues around the room were releasing light points of various colors. These light points swarmed in and quickly merged into the light patterns on the ground, and the light followed. It rose up and enveloped Long Kongkong's body.
Long Kongkong's face was full of contentment, and he couldn't help but said: "Brother, why do I feel like I'm taking a bath?"
Magister Guo Xu was also slightly startled. He had never seen anyone who could still speak while undergoing magic element elf recognition.
The whole process lasted for a full minute. Magister Guo Xu kept looking at the surrounding elemental elf statues. However, until all the light on the ground was extinguished, none of the statues showed any reaction.
"There is no affinity with elemental elves." Magister Guo Xu said in a deep voice.
"It's quite comfortable. Grandpa, what do you mean?" Long Kongkong asked curiously.
Magister Guo Xu sighed softly and said: "If you don't have affinity with elemental elves, it means that no elemental elves recognize you and can fuse with you. Of course, there is another possibility that the elemental attributes you are affinity with are not the same. Not among them. But this possibility is very small, the Magic Temple has basically included all the elemental attributes in the world."
Long Kongkong understood, "Does that mean I'm not suitable to be a magician?"
Seeing the excited expression on the child's face, Guo Xu was stunned. What is going on? This was really the first time he saw a child who didn't want to be a magician. Among the six temples, the two strongest temples are the Magic Temple and the Knight Temple. Compared with the strictness of the Knight Temple, the unpredictable, magical and magnificent magic is undoubtedly more popular among young people. of.
"We also need to test your magical spiritual power. If the magical spiritual power is very high, it means that you may indeed have currently unknown attributes." As he said this, Magister Guo Xu came to Long Kongkong with a crystal ball. , motioning for him to put his hand up.
Long Kongkong curiously placed his palm on the crystal ball. The next moment, there seemed to be a suction force coming from the crystal ball. Long Kongkong only felt that it seemed to be absorbing something from himself. Then, the surface of the crystal ball lit up faintly. halo.
The light was not strong and soon became calm, and a number appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.
"Nine?" Magister Guo Xu's face suddenly showed disappointment.
He knew that the two children in front of him were the sons of the deputy master of the priest temple, and he had some expectations in his heart. After all, the children of strong men had a much greater chance of having good talents.
"Is nine good or bad?" Long Kongkong asked curiously.
Magister Guo Xu’s lips twitched, “The total score is one hundred.”
Long Kongkong also went to the Basic Academy, his eyes widened, "You failed? It's okay, you're used to it." He rarely passed the exam.
"It's still a little far from passing." Magister Guo Xu coughed.
"Grandpa, you are so upright. Brother, it's your turn." Long Kongkong curled his lips and walked away.
Long Dangdang was obviously a little nervous compared to his younger brother. Unlike Long Kongkong, who was indifferent, he really liked the profession of magician. He had seen magicians conjure up magnificent magic.
Also walking to the center of the aperture, Magister Guo Xu did not return to his original position. He handed the crystal ball to him and said, "You might as well test your magic power first."
"Okay." Long Dangdang felt that his palm was a little cold, and he slowly reached out and covered the crystal ball.
Magister Guo Xu released his magic power to guide him. The next moment, Long Kongkong, who was walking towards Long Dangdang's previous position with his back to Magister Guo Xu, felt his back suddenly light up and turned around subconsciously.
He suddenly opened his mouth wide and saw that the crystal ball between Long Dangdang and Magister Guo Xu was blooming with brilliance. The entire crystal ball was blooming like a small sun, and the entire room was illuminated.
What's even more shocking is that without Magister Guo Xu's intervention, the surrounding elemental statues started to shine on their own. Seven of the statues shone brightly and became transparent in an instant. The light stirred in the air, sending out circles of halo and shrouding the dragon in the center.
Magister Guo Xu’s eyes were widened.
The light lasted for several minutes before gradually fading away. Magister Guo Xu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, staring intently at the crystal ball in his hand.
The next moment, he said with a trembling voice: "Eighty-three, eighty-three innate magical spiritual power!" When he mentioned eighty-three for the second time, his voice became uncontrollably high-pitched.
Long Kongkong murmured: "Passed? He actually passed? This is wrong! In normal exams, my brother can only get a few points more than me."
Originally, he didn't feel much at all when he was only nine, but when he saw that his brother was nine times his size, he felt a little irritated.
Long Dangdang immediately turned around and looked at his younger brother. Long Kongkong gave him a thumbs up, "Congratulations, you passed the exam for the first time in your life."
Magister Guo Xu murmured: "Brother Dragon and Brother Mouse, is this the legendary Brother Dragon and Brother Mouse? All the talents of the twins are concentrated in one person?"
His voice was loud and both brothers could hear it clearly. Long Kongkong was furious, "Old man, if you continue to mock me, I will pee in your place!"
