Also participating in the Cretan wizard apprentice selection are other wizard apprentices who are proficient in puppetry knowledge, elemental puppetry knowledge and some construct puppetry knowledge.

"Are you also here to take the Cretan wizard exam?"

"Of course. The Cretan wizard is a master of puppetry."

"I wonder which lucky person among so many people will become an apprentice under the Cretan wizard."

Hearing the voices of the wizard apprentices around him who were waiting for the assessment to begin, even Taylor, who was usually calm and steady, began to feel nervous.

"Don't be nervous. With our wisdom, we can both help you with any questions that Cretan wizard asks."

Kano's voice rang in Taylor's mind. In his opinion, it would be much better for the three of them to think about a problem together than for one person to ponder over it.

"It's too troublesome to think about it. It's really scary, Kano, don't you think I'm dead~~~~"

Bobby's teasing voice echoed in his mind.

"The problem is that you're not dead yet. I think it's better for a lazy slacker like you to die."

Kano snorted coldly and ignored Bobby who was acting like a scoundrel beside him.

"No matter what, the three of us are one. If the Cretan wizard raises any questions, you two can help think about them. I think the three of us can pass this test."

Taylor didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he quickly warned the two secondary personalities in his mind.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

"I think I need some time off later~~~~~~~~"

After hearing what the two said, Taylor nodded and continued to wait in line. Soon, four puppets dressed as butlers came out and took apprentices one by one into the wizard tower for assessment.

Taylor noticed that the puppets dressed as the four butlers had no traces of witchcraft runes or energy lines on their surfaces. They must have been internally enchanted, and the means were so sophisticated that the puppets did not reveal any magical fluctuations when they were running.

If they didn't look like puppets, no one would have thought that these four butlers, who were dressed like servants and behaved like smooth flowing water, were actually puppets.

"Based on what the Cretan wizard has shown, it is enough to show how profound his knowledge of puppetry is. I am afraid that his knowledge of witchcraft runes is far beyond my reach."

Just through these butler puppets, Taylor was able to get a glimpse of the unfathomable background of the Cretan wizard.

"He is indeed a remarkable person, Taylor. You must seize this opportunity. If you can have such a teacher during your apprenticeship, even if he doesn't teach you anything, you will benefit a lot just by watching his experiments and research."

Kano's tone was full of seriousness. He already understood that this was a great opportunity. If Taylor could catch a ride with this wizard, his future as a wizard would definitely be smoother.

He had even begun to think that if he was not chosen, for Taylor's future, the lucky person who was chosen would have to die, and he couldn't die at Taylor's hands, so he had to plan carefully.

Bobby's words were still cynical, but there was a hint of seriousness in his tone.

In front of the wizard tower, apprentices were coming in and out, some with sad faces, some with glorious faces. The queue of apprentices was slowly moving forward, and Taylor, who was at the back, finally waited for his moment to enter the wizard tower.

Taylor took a step into the wizard tower and suddenly appeared in an empty room. There was only a table, a chair, five pieces of paper with magical fluctuations, and two butler puppets beside them in the room.

Is this a spatial fluctuation? Is the Cretan wizard also good at space?

Taylor was frightened by the method that seemed like teleportation and shape-shifting. Even Kano and Bobby in his mind remained silent, watching everything from Taylor's perspective.

A butler puppet led Taylor to the table, and another butler puppet pulled out a chair for Taylor to sit on. After Taylor sat down, the two butler puppets said in unison:

"Dear apprentice, the Cretan wizard has left five questions for you. You can answer one, two, three, or all five questions based on your level of knowledge. Based on your answers, the great Cretan wizard will determine whether you are suitable to be his apprentice."

After saying that, the two butler puppets stood around Taylor, one in front and one behind. It seems that in addition to guiding, these two puppets also have another function, which is to invigilate the exam.

An exam?

Taylor quickly glanced through the five questions and soon had his own ideas about them.

For the first question, write down your knowledge about elemental puppets and construct puppets and the most commonly used runes.

For the second question, please ask students to write down the energy pattern designs they have mastered so far, based on their knowledge of energy patterns, which are different from those in the library.

Question 3: If you want to design a fire element puppet and keep its elemental body made of elements, what kind of witchcraft runes should be enchanted on the core to make it flexible while ensuring its attack power and strength? Question 4: How to make several resonant element puppets that can be assembled? Draw the connection and resonance between the elements.

For the fifth question, please answer as best as possible based on the knowledge you have learned about how to simplify the construct puppet to create a simpler, lower-cost, and easier-to-make construct puppet.

It seems that this Cretan wizard really values ​​the research on puppets and constructs, and the purpose of him recruiting apprentices is to assist him in his research on puppets and constructs.

Looking at the five pieces of paper emitting magical fluctuations, Taylor quickly wrote his name and started answering the first question.

"I remember that I could use the "Smooth" rune and the "Explosion" rune..."

"That's troublesome. I think what we learned in the zombie plane can be used. Let's take out a small amount of knowledge about magic mechanical bodies and magic channels."

In his mind, Kano and Bobby were also communicating with Taylor from different angles, trying to write the most perfect answer.
