Chapter 18
Big news, absolutely big news!
The Crucible has finally launched a war! Everyone knows that the Crucible will launch a war every ten years or so.
On the one hand, it is to seize resources, and on the other hand, it is to clean out the apprentices and wizards inside.
The Crucible needs elite wizards and apprentices. The best of the best must be selected. Only the strongest can stay and survive! As for how to select, of course, it is through war!
For dark wizards, only those who survived the war can be considered elite and qualified to continue to survive in the furnace! When Lin En heard this news from Colin, his heart was shocked.
Even though he was prepared, after all, in the past two months, neither Sonya, Colin, nor his teachers nor his enemies had come to find him. Obviously, something unusual had happened inside the furnace.
But when he heard this from Colin, he couldn't help but feel his teeth clenched.
war!
This is not something to be taken lightly.
The War of the Crucible is a declaration of war against external supernatural forces and other wizarding forces!
In that environment, wizard apprentices were nothing more than soldiers in the secular army, serving essentially as cannon fodder.
The enemy wizard could easily kill a group of apprentices with a single spell! Only formal wizards could be considered generals on the battlefield and qualified to survive such a war.
Of course, "qualified" is just that. After all, there are precedents of official wizards falling in the Crucible War.
After Colin finished speaking, he kept his eyes locked on Lynn's face, observing his reaction.
When he saw the shock in Lin En's pupils, he nodded with satisfaction.
But he also noticed that although Lin En's heart was in turmoil, he remained calm and composed on the surface.
"You're really able to stay calm...Haha, I can't scare you..."
Colin smiled and shook his head, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"No matter what the situation, you must stay calm. This is what makes a good wizard. I am very optimistic about you, Lin En."
Sonya on the side put her hands on her hips and smiled gently. Although her face looked a little haggard, her smile at this moment had a unique charm.
"Um?"
Listening to the words of the two third-level wizard apprentices beside him, Lin En was a little confused.
"Let me explain."
Sonya smiled and said softly,
"Although the Crucible has declared war, our Potion Garden is the safest. We are responsible for logistics, and we will not participate in the front-line battles unless the Crucible is captured by the enemy. Therefore, there is no problem with Lynn's safety."
Although Sonya's words were reassuring, judging from her tired look, working in the potion garden was not as easy as it seemed.
Although you don't have to go to the battlefield in person, as a logistics department, you still need to put in a lot of energy and effort.
Compared with wizards who go directly to the battlefield, wizards in the potion garden can save their lives, but they cannot take it lightly.
"However, Colin doesn't seem to work in the potion garden..."
Lynn suddenly remembered something.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Colin smiled and shook his head lightly:
"I resigned a few days ago and officially transferred to the Potion Garden today."
"Aren't you afraid of the punishment in the furnace when you run away from the battlefield..."
Lin En couldn't help but complain in his heart, and seeing that Colin had no shame at all and instead looked smug, he couldn't help laughing.
However, since he has the protection of Teacher Rosalind, Colin's safety is not a problem.
After a simple welcome ceremony for Colin, Lynn decided to start his vacation tomorrow and take this opportunity to go to the witchcraft testing room.
According to regulations, each apprentice has two days of vacation per month and can freely choose their rest time.
Lin En planned to rest for two consecutive days, and during this time, he would go to the witchcraft testing room mentioned by Sonya.
The furnace is divided into several areas: the potion garden, the beast pen, the alchemy department, the living area...
The witchcraft testing room is not in these areas, it is located in the core area of the furnace.
The core area is a tall tower. The first-floor door requires a personal identity badge to enter.
To enter this area, you need to pay a few points just for the toll.
Lin En's salary for these two months of work was a total of fifty points.
When he swiped the card just now, one of his points was deducted, leaving him with 49 points.
"Why don't I like going out? It's because I don't have money to spend. It's better to meditate in the dormitory..."
Lin En muttered helplessly, raised his hand and swiped his identity card, and saw that the number on it had changed from fifty to forty-nine, and he suddenly felt a pang of pain.
Upon entering the tower, Lynn was struck by its scale.
The tower is extremely tall. Looking up, there are about ten floors. The height of each floor is more than four meters. The scope of each floor is also extremely wide, giving people a shocking feeling.
As soon as he walked into the tower, he was attracted by the exquisite and magnificent architecture.
Although Lin En had experienced the shock of those skyscrapers in later generations, this tower built by witchcraft was completely different from modern reinforced concrete buildings, giving him an unprecedented sense of shock.
"The witchcraft testing room is on the first floor. Just go inside."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lynn had looked at the map earlier, and now he was walking through the lobby on the first floor.
Although it takes some points to enter the core area of the furnace, it is not as deserted as he expected. Instead, it is quite crowded.
Tall figures were moving around, all wearing the same Furnace-style robes.
Although Lin En is young, his body has not yet fully developed and appears relatively weak.
But he was already a second-level wizard apprentice, and his inherent energy factor and aura gave him a unique aura, so no one looked down on him.
"We're here, the witchcraft testing room!"
When you enter the witchcraft testing room, the first thing that catches your eye is a lobby where you need to earn points, which is divided into several rooms.
When Lynn walked into the lobby, he found that there were already quite a few people queuing up, and even some rooms were full. It was obvious that they would have to wait for a while before the test could start.
"Could it be that because of the battle at the Crucible, everyone came here to test their combat power and check for deficiencies so that they can replenish their combat power in advance and increase their chances of winning?"
Lynn guessed secretly in his heart.
He walked to the nearest witchcraft testing room, swiped his nameplate, and selected the most basic test item.
The test fee is 20 points per hour. After completing it, he only needs to wait patiently, and the nameplate will respond when it is his turn.
Although this world has not developed high technology, witchcraft has, in a sense, already possessed the characteristics of technology, and even far exceeds conventional technology in some aspects.
Moreover, Lin En was not worried about being cut in line. After all, in this core area, even official wizards did not dare to interfere with others at will.
This place is under the nose of the Lord of the Furnace. Anyone who causes trouble here is seeking his own death.
"Wait a moment..."
Lin En was talking to himself, preparing to wait quietly, when suddenly, a surprised cry came from behind.
“Lynn!”
Lin En was slightly stunned, turned around and saw three figures walking towards him.
Although he only recognized one of them, the familiar figure made him raise his eyebrows.
That was the young man who took the assessment and entered the furnace with him and Remi. Lin En had some impression of him.
Next to the young man stood two tall figures, wearing heavy robes and hoods covering their faces, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
Before Lin En could speak, a man next to the boy took off his hood, with a half-smile on his face, and said, "So you are Lin En, the Lin En who killed my useless brother."
When Lin En heard this, his pupils suddenly condensed.
He quickly thought of the other party's identity, his face darkened, and he thought to himself:
"Riley Robert!"
