Aura rolled her eyes at him, but found that Ye Shanming did not respond. She looked over curiously and found that he was frowning and looking at a document.
"Well, it's about the travel restriction order issued by the Northern Empire a few months ago. All adventurers must be accompanied by a first-level magician before entering the Northern Empire's territory."
"Their old king had just passed away at that time, and they waited until the new king ascended the throne to release it."
"Is there any information about the new king?"
"Have."
Aula turned around and looked in the file cabinet next to her. The Magic City had been infiltrated by the Northern Empire. Aula had in turn arranged for several spies to go and collect intelligence. Such important information about the new king was naturally sent to her as soon as possible.
Linie looked up at the two adults and continued to eat her apple.
Ye Shanming took the information handed over by Aura and thought silently.
The second prince, born out of wedlock, had no special talents and had never been outstanding until he inherited the throne half a year ago with the support of a group of ministers. The original eldest prince had started a rebellion, which was put down by him, and then he introduced a traffic restriction order.
Is he the reincarnated demon king? Or a controlled puppet?
Ye Shanming tapped the table slowly with his index finger, trying to piece together a possible truth from the existing information.
After a moment, he put down the documents in his hand, and Linie got off him obediently.
"By the way, speaking of the new king, the Northern Empire's National Day will be held in six months, and the new king has invited the leaders of the Magic City to attend."
Aula provided Ye Shanming with another important piece of information.
"Half a year later?"
After a moment's contemplation, Ye Shanming made a decision: "You stay here, I'll go to the imperial capital to find out the situation first."
Although Shulahat has always been a riddle man, he has never shown any ill will towards him. On the contrary, he helped him at the Goddess Monument. However, he has never come into contact with the Demon King and does not understand the Demon King's thoughts. This is why he has been concerned since he heard that the Demon King was reborn.
After finishing his business, he prepared to leave and gave Aura a warning:
"If there's something important, come to me first. I don't want anything to happen to you."
No matter how the two of them get along, after all, they are the children he raised, and he still hopes that the people around him can live in peace.
"whispering sound."
Watching Ye Shanming leave, Aura looked disgusted: "Why are you pretending to be an adult at this time?"
"Aura-sama seems very happy."
Linie's eyes moved between the two of them, and she spoke with some doubt.
"Line, I taught you not to talk nonsense, didn't I?"
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Shanming rushed directly to the branch of the Continental Magic Association. Previously, in Zain's village, Celia used a seed rat to send him a message, saying that there was something important.
Under the gaze of a group of magicians, he walked into the hall. The moment he saw Celie, he reflexively launched a defensive magic.
"what do you mean?"
Celia looked at him unkindly. Ye Shanming stared at her cautiously, alert to the flow of magic power in her body. When he saw Zanze concentrating on the table, processing documents for him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He rushed over and held Zanze in front of him like a kitten. The latter looked at him with a confused and innocent face.
"Nothing, it's just that finances are tight these days and we can't afford to rebuild the hall."
"If I really want to fight, it won't help even if you use Zanze as a human shield."
Celie snorted coldly, but quietly dissipated the magic power in her hand, changed her leg-crossing posture, and talked to him about business.
"The new king of the Northern Empire invited me to the imperial capital to attend their national celebration."
"Teacher, have you received an invitation too?"
Ye Shanming frowned. The Continental Magic Association was only an institution that managed and registered magicians, not an independent force like the Magic City. The invitation from the new king of the empire was very intriguing.
Celie nodded. "I'm planning on having you go in my place. You were planning on going to the Imperial Capital anyway."
"no problem."
"Since this is no problem, then I'll leave the first-level magician assessment to you."
"This is... no, I refuse."
Ye Shanming was about to nod subconsciously, but suddenly came to his senses and immediately refused.
His attitude was not beyond Celie's expectations at all. She held her face with her right hand, looked up at him, and a smile of confidence appeared on her face.
"Really? But I heard that to pass through the border of the Northern Empire, you need a first-level magician certificate. If you don't preside over it, then I won't give you this certificate."
"That kind of thing, I already..."
Ye Shanming was halfway through his rebuttal when he suddenly froze. It seemed that he really did not have a first-level magician certificate. Although he was the branch chief, he had never taken this test.
Even the final list of approved candidates had to be reviewed by Celiai. Even though he was the branch chief, he did not have the authority to issue a certificate without Celiai's permission.
"hiss,"
He took a deep breath and continued to struggle: "There should be something at Fulilian's place."
"Unfortunately, Fulilian's name isn't among the first-level magicians registered with the association. Even if she came to take the test, I wouldn't let her pass."
"Come to think of it, there are only 45 first-class magicians registered so far. As the branch chief, you haven't even looked at the list?"
Celia looked at her disciple with disdain, doubting whether her decision to hand over the entire Continental Magic Association to him by taking advantage of the first-level magician assessment was a mistake.
Ye Shanming couldn't refute it, he really hadn't seen the list.
"Anyway, this time the first-level magician examination is left to you. Zanze will assist you. That's all."
After saying this, Celia left the hall and went to the back hall. Ye Shanming guessed that she was probably going to see the flower fields again.
"Lady Celia is gone, Branch Chief, can you put me down now?"
It was not until this time that Zanze, who had been held in front of Ye Shanming, spoke weakly.
"Sorry sorry."
Ye Shanming quickly put Zanze on the ground. The latter did not show any sign of anger. Over the years, she had become accustomed to being treated like this by Ye Shanming.
"What are your thoughts on this assessment, Branch Chief?"
Chapter 32: Philen’s little thoughts.
Zanze looked up at him. Ye Shanming tried hard to suppress the urge to stroke her hair and walked towards the back hall, ready to talk to Celia about taking care of Philen.
"Zanze, it's up to you to decide. I trust you."
Ye Shanming skillfully threw the matter to Zanze again. Zanze rolled up her hair in confusion, looked at his departing back, and sighed softly.
Walking into the back hall, the first thing that caught the eye was the flower field. Just as Ye Shanming had expected, Celia was looking down at the flower field, wondering what she was thinking.
However, based on Ye Shanming's understanding of her, it is very likely that she is missing her senior sister.
Just as he said to Volame back then, this teacher is soft all over except his mouth.
He always disliked Volame when he was alive, and even after his death, he missed her all the time.
"What else do you want?"
Hearing the footsteps, Celie raised her head with a hint of displeasure on her face.
"If you still want to shirk the test, then forget it."
"No, I want to ask you to help take care of someone."
Then he told Celie all about his plans and Philen's affairs.
"Didn't I expect my second foolish disciple would follow the same path as me?"
Celie waved her hand, and Solitaire, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, respectfully handed her a cup of black tea. She was wearing a maid's uniform, and if it weren't for the small horn on her head, no one would have recognized that she was a terrifying demon.
"Before you return, as long as she doesn't leave the Magic City, she will be safe. The same goes for your adopted daughter from the demon clan."
"That's my promise, okay?"
"Thank you, teacher."
Ye Shanming was silent for a while, and then he sincerely thanked his magic teacher for the second time. The last time was when Celia accepted him as her disciple.
Celia waved her hand in disgust and began to drive people away. Ye Shanming left obediently.
"Really? No matter if it's just one or two of them, my disciples are all idiots."
Celie sighed softly as she looked at the blossoming flower fields around her.
Coming out of the back hall, Zanze was concentrating his head, his hair seemed to have a life of its own. He rolled up the pen and wrote and drew on the paper, obviously thinking about how to design the content of the assessment.
After stroking Zanze's hair fiercely in front of her confused eyes, Ye Shanming left the branch of the Continental Magic Association and went to the streets to purchase necessary water and food.
It was not until the evening that he returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Fulilian kneeling on the ground, surrounded by all kinds of strange things, and Philen was scolding her mercilessly.
"Ye Shanming, save me, Fei Lun has been talking about it for two hours."
Fulilian raised her head and quickly asked Ye Shanming for help.
"Lady Fulilian, please reflect on this. Even if you have private money, but..."
But her cry for help only aroused Philen's dissatisfaction. His face puffed up into a ball and he continued to preach. Fulilian looked as if she had lost all hope in life.
"You guys continue, I'll go tidy up the room."
Seeing this situation, Ye Shanming could only cast a helpless look at her and made up an excuse to leave.
Fortunately, after seeing Ye Shanming come back, Feilun did not continue preaching for too long and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
At the dinner table, Ye Shanming warned Philen not to leave the magic city casually, while Fulilian talked about the news she had heard in the city.
"I heard that the Northern Empire has issued a travel restriction order, requiring a first-level magician in the team to pass."
"Furlilian and Master Hayama Akira should have it."
Philen looked at the two of them in confusion. She had long since forgotten to mistake Ye Shanming for an ordinary magician.
But what surprised her was that as soon as she said this, Ye Shanming and Fulilian both turned their heads away.
"Because the organization that manages magicians is constantly changing, I didn't take the exam."
Ye Shanming's words were even simpler than Fulilian's:
"I forgot."
"Doesn't that mean the two adults can't go to the imperial capital?"
Philen was a little worried, but there was also a hint of joy that he himself didn't even notice.
Ever since she grew up, she has always been accompanied by Ye Shanming and Fulilian. This is the first time she has to be separated from them.
"Don't worry, Philen. I heard this afternoon that there will be a test for first-level magicians in the next few days. I've already signed up. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to pass."
Fulilian patted her chest, and Ye Shanming turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of pity.
He had just finished talking to Celia. Even if Fulilian passed the test, Celia would not let her pass.
"Yeah……"
Fei Lun felt a little disappointed, but then he forced himself to cheer up: "Then I wish you two the best."
The next morning, when Ye Shanming got up, he did not see Feilun's figure. He sensed the tracking magic on Feilun's magic wand and found that she was still in the city, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
He must have gone to look for his childhood playmates.
A few days later, in a basin near the magic city, Ye Shanming pressed his hands on the ground, and a huge barrier slowly rose, covering the entire basin. It was not only used to isolate magic, but also, at Zanze's request, imposed a strong physical barrier.
The small river that originally ran across the entire basin was directly diverted, and the part remaining within the barrier dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the riverbed underneath.
The monster bird that originally lived in the forest was stimulated by the powerful magical aura and shot into the air like crazy, crashing heavily into the barrier and falling powerlessly.
"Is this enough?"
Ye Shanming turned his head and looked at Zanze.
Zanze nodded silently, and nimbly handed a document to Ye Shanming, which contained the list of participants and the subsequent test items she had come up with.
This basin was also the venue for her first round of examinations.
"The first round is to split into three teams and capture the meteorite bird within the barrier? Do you want me to set up the barrier?"
"Is the second round about conquering the scattered king's tomb? Isn't that a bit too difficult? And why isn't there a third round?"
Feilun shook his head and explained softly: "Lady Celia said that as long as you come to participate in the first-level magician assessment, you must use the requirements of a first-level magician. The scattered royal tombs are not difficult to find."
