Celestial Mage

Chapter 71
Mochizuki Garden.

Bright and eye-catching honeysuckle blooms in winter, and the snow on the dark green leaves sparkles with colorful fluctuations in the sun.

In the depths of the gorgeous flowers, there is an unremarkable long stone table.

The Great Moon Sorcerer, Sophia, Earl of Omexia, sat at the head of the long table, with a beautiful female envoy standing on both sides behind her.

On the side of the long table, Xia Bolai sat on the left, and Rosen sat on the right.

On the long table are fresh fruits that are rare in winter, as well as sweet milk tea with rich tea and milk fragrance.

In addition, there are many powerful guards hidden in those inconspicuous corners on the outside.

But all in all, the atmosphere of the afternoon tea party hosted by Earl Omexia himself was quite easy-going, at least more so than the afternoon teas on other days.

After the opening courtesy greetings, the graceful and luxurious Earl Omexia held a small silver spoon and gently stirred the steaming hot tea in front of him.

She said in her usual chatting tone: "Xia Bolai, my dear nephew, I am very disappointed with your performance, but you have made some progress, at least in the past month or so."

Rosen's heart twitched slightly when he heard this, the past month or so was Xia Bolai's useless time.

From this point of view, the Earl has actually been paying attention to Chapolet.

Xia Bolai stood up suddenly, his body stretched straight, and he shouted: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I let you down!"

"What are you doing so suddenly? Have you forgotten all the aristocratic etiquette that Malkiri taught you?"

'Plop~'

Xia Bolai sat back on the chair, the heavy weight made the chair groan unbearably.

He lowered his head with shame on his face: "Auntie, I want to change it too, but I can't. As long as I see those tenderness..."

She was interrupted by her aunt in the middle: "Shut up. I don't want to hear about the nasty things that happened in the bathhouse of the brothel."

"Yes, aunt."

At this moment, Xia Bolai is as cute as a kitten.

Count Omexia turned to Rosen again: "Son, how old are you?"

"After the Winter Snow Festival, I will be 16."

"Well, then you look too thin. You should eat more meat and drink more goat's milk. Before the age of 20, you must abstain from sexual intercourse, so as not to grow taller like Xia Bolai."

From the corner of his eye, Rosen took a quick glance at the Moon Master next to him. What he saw was a woman about 50 years old with a good face. Her facial features had many similarities with Xia Bolai's, but she was more beautiful than the latter. Much more well-proportioned.

Her figure is slightly fatter, but her back is straight, her eyes are fixed, and she has the majesty of a superior.

At this moment, the other party was looking at him with kind eyes, like an old woman who cared about her younger generation.

Naturally, he would not argue with the other party over trivial matters, and nodded immediately: "I remember, Lord Earl."

Xia Bolai, who was innocently lying on the gun, looked annoyed: "Auntie, I am not tall because of the inheritance of my parents' blood, and it has nothing to do with other things."

"Of course I know it has something to do with your father. But if you can control your desires, not only can you grow taller, but you can also have a better figure, instead of embarrassing our Omisia family like this!"

Shy and angry, Xia Bolai argued loudly: "Auntie, you are serious!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these old-fashioned things."

Count Omexia waved his hand lightly, getting rid of his nephew's entanglement.

She continued to talk to Rosen: "Xia Bolai said that you have an excellent talent for magic arts, and you are very intelligent. Is it true?"

Rosen replied: "It was Mr. Xia Bolai who favored me. I have some talents, and my brain is not stupid, but I can only make a little limelight in a small place like Baima Town. In a big city like Silver Moon Castle, where there are many talents, It seems dull."

Earl Omexia nodded slowly: "Well~ yes, such a decent reply at such a young age. My stupid nephew finally did something reliable."

"Auntie, I'm not stupid!"

"Smart people never argue about this. Then, shut up and listen!"

Xia Bolai couldn't bear the suffocation, so he could only drink the milk tea in suspense, and after drinking one cup, he called for another cup, and then continued to drink.

After easily suppressing his nephew's resistance, Earl Omexia asked again: "In the past, what has Serendis taught you?"

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "You answer truthfully and don't hide it, because I don't like children who pretend to be smart."

Rosen didn't intend to play tricks in front of the Archmage.

He replied loudly: "During this time, the instructor taught all the knowledge that an official mage should master."

"Oh~ she taught you quite a lot. It seems that she really values ​​you. So, besides the standard knowledge, did she teach you your own unique insights into spells?"

"There are professors."

"What are there?"

Rosen replied earnestly: "I respect you very much, ma'am, but it is related to the tutor's personal privacy. I can't say it without the tutor's permission."

The count was very satisfied: "Well~ he is a polite and cautious child, much more sensible than Xia Bolai!"

'Google~'

After drinking a large cup of milk tea, Xia Bolai stood up and said, "Auntie, I'm going to relieve myself."

Earl Omexia immediately scolded: "How old are you, and you still have to report to me? Do you want me to take care of you like I was a child?"

Xia Bolai's face was black and red, and he turned around and strode away.

Count Omexia looked at his back, sighed softly, and then turned to look at Rosen.

"Serandis did teach a lot, but how much have you mastered?"

Rosen thought about it carefully, and replied: "My memory is pretty good. I have memorized all the specific knowledge of spells, but I can't understand them all."

"The instructor's evaluation is that I only understand about [-]% of it, and the rest will take time to fully digest."

There are too many things, and he just insists on memorizing them. Fortunately, he already has a knowledge base for advancement. Even if no one guides him, he can slowly improve himself.

"It's pretty good to have three achievements. When I was learning the basics of spells, my performance was only slightly better than yours."

She asked again: "What about spells? An official mage should master the three virtues and six skills. How are you learning?"

Rosen also answered truthfully: "I have learned all of them, and I can already cast spells proficiently."

Earl Omexia's eyes lit up suddenly: "Have you learned all of them? How old is your spellcasting ability?"

"Currently four stars, but when the condition is particularly good, it can barely reach five stars."

"This is not easy."

Rosen had no complacency on his face: "It's all thanks to the mentor's dedicated teaching. She not only explained the structure and principles of spells in detail, but also integrated the training methods into daily life, which made me improve every moment."

The integration is quite deep, and even when making out, he never forgets to tap his limit, which makes him almost have a psychological shadow.

"No wonder. It seems that the instructor values ​​you quite a lot. But this is still not something that ordinary people can easily do, at least my stupid nephew is absolutely impossible."

After saying Xia Bolai again, she waved to Rosen: "Come here, come to me."

Rosen obeyed.

When Rosen came to her side, Earl Omexia stretched out his palm, which was filled with silver light: "Arago Vajra Palm, you must know it?"

"meeting."

"Very good, now you use all your strength to face me."

Rosen took a deep breath, cast out the Vajra Palm, and poured [-]% of his mana into it, and a bright yellow to whitish light suddenly appeared on his palm.

"High-intensity fire polar mana, it's very good to achieve such an achievement at your age!"

After finishing speaking, Earl Omisia gently pushed his palm forward.

"Don't fiddle with spellcasting skills, I just want to know your mana realm."

Rosen complied.

The next moment, the palms collided.

Hearing the muffled sound of 'bang', Luo Sen felt a huge force coming towards him, and he could no longer maintain the mana structure of Vajra Palm, and his whole body was pushed back again and again by the huge force. After six steps, he barely stabilized his figure.

"Not bad ~ very good!"

Earl Omexia's black eyes, which were the same as those of Xia Bolai, were full of admiration.

"At your age, it's the first time I've seen you catch my vajra palm with half of my mana condensed. You are much more promising than my nephew!"

Just in time, Xia Bolai came back after relieving himself, and after hearing this, he sat down on the chair without saying a word, and continued to drink tea.

Count Omisia raised his hand to signal Rosen to return to his seat.

After he sat down, she said solemnly.

"Son, your spells have reached a considerable level, no less than that of a low-level official mage."

"Now, you have two options."

"First, go back to your studio, continue to sell those unappealing coquettish oil paintings, save money to learn spells, and after two or three years, barely become a notorious official mage, live without worrying about basic necessities, but ordinary days, until the mediocre death of old age.”

"Second, accept my test task. If you pass it successfully, I will not only directly sign your official mage examination form, but also personally guide you for a month."

There are three passes in the official mage assessment, namely the lord, the mage guild and the temple.

Considering the Earl's great reputation in the mage community of Silvermoon Castle, as long as she recognizes Rosen's ability, it means that the first two can be done at once, and then only the temple needs to be done.

So Rosen was very moved.

But as soon as Sophia finished speaking, Xia Bolai yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Auntie, Luo Sen is only so young, what kind of test task does he need, and he only teaches for a month? Can't you just accept him as a personal apprentice?"

Hearing this, Rosen knew that Xia Bolai was going to be scolded again, but he could also see that although the Earl was very disappointed with Xia Bolai, his aunt and nephew had deep feelings for him like a mother and a child.

"childish!"

Earl Omexia glared, and snapped angrily: "Do you think that since I am Earl Omexia, I can do whatever I want?"

"Do you think that I can accept a commoner as an apprentice at will? What do you make the barons of the highland think?"

"Among their children and relatives, there are also talented magic apprentices, and they all want to be my apprentices."

"If I do what you say, I will trample on their dignity!"

"You want me to rule Yellowwater Heights with a bunch of angry barons? Huh?!"

"Aunt Keke, isn't it your private matter to recruit apprentices? If you are afraid of being said to be unfair, you can just charge a few more at a time."

Xia Bolai shrank his head, his voice was weak.

"Earl Omexia has no personal affairs! Every decision I make represents the attitude of the entire family."

Sitting upright, she no longer had the kindness of an old woman, but only the majesty of the ruler of Silvermoon Castle.

"Rosen, I really appreciate your talent in magic arts. Although you are young, you already have excellent personal abilities, especially good at investigation."

"Personally, I'd like to give you advice."

"But you come from a humble background, so it is impossible to become my apprentice. Even if you only get my advice, you must use your actual achievements to convince the entire Huangshui Highland."

"Now, tell me your choice!"

Rosen stood up and gave a salute to the next apprentice to Earl Omexia.

"I'm willing to take the test."

There are two roads ahead, one is mediocre and comfortable, the other is legendary and difficult.

Although the former is at ease, he has lost his passion and is also very fragile. Whether his life is good or bad depends on the big man's thoughts.

What's more, if you don't sharpen it between life and death, your spellcasting ability will never break through the limit, and I'm afraid your whole life will be mediocre.

Since you are going to practice, why not also strive for some secular status?

A gratified light flashed in Earl Omexia's eyes: "Very good! Sure enough, I saw the right person!"

She turned to look at Xia Bolai: "My nephew, tea time is over.

"Bring this letter of appointment, bring Rosen, and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the necessary supplies. Then go to Yuehui Town immediately, and thoroughly investigate the situation of the pyroxene mine!"

"Attention, it's just an investigation, don't worry about it."

After Xia Bolai took over the letter of appointment, he read the content slowly.

The count yelled: "Chapley, are you deaf? I mean immediately!"

Xia Bolai understood completely now, took Rosen with him, and left Mochizuki Garden in a hurry.
