Coiling Dragon: Eternal Avenue

Chapter 178 Magic Test
The Magnolia Continent to the west of the Warcraft Mountains is divided into the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance. The kingdom headed by the Holy Alliance is the Kingdom of Finlay!
Finlay City is the royal capital of the 'Kingdom of Finlay'.

It is also the 'holy capital' of the Holy Alliance, because the headquarters of the Holy See of Light is in the west city of Finlay City.

The entire Fenlai City is mainly divided into two parts: East City and West City. The East City is managed by the Kingdom of Finlay, while the West City is managed by the Holy See of Light. Precisely because Fenlai City is both the royal capital and the holy capital, the prosperity of Fenlai City is second to none in the entire Magnolia Continent.

Fenlai City occupies an extremely large area and houses over a million residents. It is also one of the top five mega cities in the entire Magnolia Continent.

In the evening, David followed Elton into Finlay City.

"Wow!"

Walking on Finlay City's east main street, 'Champs Elysées Avenue', David felt like he was dazzled.

The entire Champs Elysées Avenue is paved with flat bluestones and can accommodate several carriages traveling in parallel. On both sides of the street are various commercial establishments such as hotels, clothing stores, weapons stores, and bars. At the same time, there are rows of neat and tall pine and cypress trees on both sides of the 'Champs Elysées Avenue'.

Ladies and young ladies were wearing fashionable clothes, chatting and laughing with each other as they strolled down the street.

David was shocked by the prosperity of Finlay City!

On the bustling Champs Elysees Avenue, some luxury carriages often passed by, and they found a hotel to stay.

"David, how is Finlay City? Finlay City is the largest city among our Holy Alliance!" Elton took David walking along the street and saw some displays passing by, or occasionally one or two magic spells. Master, sighed: "David, powerful warriors and magicians are very common in Fenlai City."

Looking outside through the window, there are still people coming and going on the street outside.

The Pope of Light has the highest status, and the Pope has the right to depose the king of a kingdom! So even in the east city of Fenlai City, the tallest building is the church of the Holy See of Light.

"It is recorded in the book that Finlay City is the political center, economic center, and art center of the Holy Alliance!" David nodded. After his rebirth, he also read a lot of books.

David woke up and washed himself up, and Elton just returned to the hotel.

David walked to the window and opened the curtains.

The tallest building among them is the church of the Holy See of Light!

David was amused. They were all men. He could almost guess where Elton was going.

That night, they shared a room.

When David and Elton arrived at the church, they saw a lot of people gathered at the door of the Holy See of Light. Most of the people here were nobles in noble clothes. Carriages also filled the empty square in front of the church. It was full and the nobles were chatting with each other.

The Holy Alliance has six kingdoms and fifteen principalities, and the Holy See of Light controls the entire alliance.

As he admired the prosperity of Fenlai City, David sighed secretly in his heart.

The two of them walked from the Champs Elysees Avenue to Green Leaf Road!
Green Leaf Road is also one of the main roads in Fenlai City. Most of the buildings on both sides of Green Leaf Road are luxurious mansions, as well as some buildings belonging to the kingdom.

This world is beautiful and prosperous!
But first you must have strength and money!

It was hard for him to imagine that such a city could be so prosperous.

The next morning.

There are no three-story high-rise buildings in Wushan Town, but they are very common in Fenlai City. In the royal capital, there are seven-story and eight-story high-rise buildings.

But David found out, and Elton left after eating.

Finlay City is a paradise for the rich, but a hell for the poor!

The hotel has three floors, and David lives on the third floor.

But it’s normal to think about it, magicians are all made with money.

In general, the annual tuition fee for a magic academy is several hundred gold coins!
For the magic admissions test, the registration fee for the test alone costs ten gold coins!
The registration fee for this test is simply beyond the reach of ordinary families!
At this moment, there are two soldiers wearing armor at the door of the church, blocking outsiders from entering.

After a while, a priest in black robes walked out slowly, stopped at the door of the church, smiled and said loudly: "The magic test starts now, and the recruiters of the major magic academies are also ready. All If you want to conduct a magic test, please follow me into the hall." Under the guidance and management of the priest, everyone in the square entered the hall of the church in an orderly manner.

In the church hall.

There is a large hall with bright marble floors and huge crystal lanterns hanging overhead. Hundreds of people can enter the hall without feeling crowded at all.

At the front of the hall, there is a row of chairs, on which sit the recruiters from various major colleges. In the center is the testing location.

The black-robed priest said with a loud smile: "The test location is in the center. People who take the test come one by one. No one else is allowed to enter the central circle. Those who are going to take the test, please line up. Parents and relatives should come next to it."

David went to line up and saw a group of teenagers. The oldest was seventeen or eighteen years old, while the youngest was only six or seven years old. The men formed two long lines, and church priests charged for the tests.

There are three adults in the central circle, which is ten meters in diameter. Two are responsible for testing and one is responsible for recording. The test tools were one crystal ball and the other a hexagonal complex magic circle.

Soon, the testing began.

The test is divided into two parts. One part is the element affinity test, which uses the crystal ball; the other part is the mental strength test, which uses the hexagonal complex magic array.

To become a magician, one must have moderate elemental affinities and eight times the mental power of their peers.

They were tested one by one. Most people failed, but a few passed.

Those who passed the test were overjoyed, after all, it meant they could become magicians.

Those who fail the test are inevitably frustrated, because it means they have no chance of being a magician and can only take the path of a warrior.

In Magnolia Continent, the status of magicians is much higher than that of warriors.

An eighth-level warrior like Elton is probably not as high as a seventh-level magician!
As time went by, there were more and more people in the hall. Because the magic test lasted for seven days, most people were not in a hurry.

When it was David's turn, many people in the hall were already lining up outside the hall.

"Next one." The bald old man said again.

David calmed down and walked into it.

He placed his hand on the crystal ball.

Suddenly——

Like the sun, the entire crystal ball suddenly became dazzling, with earthy yellow and fiery red light complementing each other, and even some aqua blue mixed in.

The dazzling light even made those who came close to squint their eyes.

Seeing this crystal ball that was as dazzling as the sun, everyone in the hall was stunned.

The bald old man looked at the paper in his hand tremblingly. It was clearly written on it that David was only seven years old, not eight.

"Age seven years old, elemental affinity, excellent in the earth and fire elements! Excellent in the water element!" The bald old man felt his heart beating hard. Generally, the elemental affinity of a magician is medium, and it is very rare to wait a moment. As for super... it is even more rare.

It can be said that it takes others ten hours to refine magic power, but David estimates that the same effect can be achieved in one hour.

"call!"

The entire hall exclaimed, the elemental affinity was actually super, and it was dual-element. This was too scary.

From the beginning of the morning until now, there is not a single element with a higher affinity.

The result was good, David turned out to have super affinity to the earth and fire elements, and superior affinity to the water element.
