"Interesting," Queen Margaret commented lightly, "really interesting."

Her tone was as always, the kind of condescending tone that only belongs to a superior person, and it didn't sound like there was any emotion involved.

But Lila, who is familiar with the Queen's character, knew that Her Majesty was in a good mood today.

Because the slightly raised corners of her mouth were no longer the fixed, rigid arc of the past, but instead looked casual and natural.

"Your Majesty, who is he?" Maid Lila stepped forward and asked.

Perhaps because they have known each other day and night for a long time, the Queen and Lila have always had a close relationship, more like friends than masters and servants.

"His name is Alan York," Queen Margaret replied, "he is the most popular person in the entire Braden Kingdom these days.

"Earlier today, His Highness Edward wrote to me, hoping that I could give him some rewards, preferably the title of 'Plane Pioneer' and a worthy title.

"His Royal Highness Edward said that whether it is expanding the territory of the kingdom or handling the internal affairs of the kingdom, Alan York is the key. Even if he cannot become our ally, he must not be our enemy."

"His Royal Highness Edward" naturally refers to Edward Lynn, the prince of the Kingdom of Ferrand, the president of the University of Cambridge, and the future prince of the Kingdom of Braden. Although he has already been engaged to the Queen, to this day, the Queen still abides by the rules.

Addressing him politely as "Your Highness".

"Alan York," the maid Lila said thoughtfully, "is he the young man who discovered a new dimension, was accepted as a student by two respected magicians, and whose family is extremely rich?"

"That's right."

"Then we really can't provoke him," Lila nodded in agreement, "He's too tough in the background."

"Indeed," the Queen said, "there are three people in this world that I least want to stand against. One is the Pope of the Church of Light, one is Lord Merlins of the Wizard's Tower, and the other is William York, Earl of Kent.

"Now, two of these three people are willing to stand behind Alan York, which shows that Alan is indeed an extraordinary person.

"It's just...I still have some questions about Allen himself."

"What question?" the maid Lila asked curiously.

"According to the information sent by His Highness Edward some time ago, when Allen was taking the magic talent test a few months ago, he was just an ordinary person with no magic talent. But now, he has transformed into a world-famous person.

Magic genius, regarded as a treasure by the Mage Tower."

"Your Majesty, you should know that although sudden changes in magical talent are rare, they do happen," Lila replied. "A few years ago, I heard a magician say that when he was young, he was an incapable of sensing.

He was a waste of elements, but after he accidentally picked up a ring, everything changed."

"No, Lila, that's not what I find strange." The Queen suddenly stopped smiling, "Look, Allen has been obsessed with magic since he was a child. No matter how many blows he encounters or how many people look at him coldly, he

He refuses to give up, as if he knows that he will definitely have magical talents in the future, and is even willing to give up his studies for this illusory ideal. This kind of behavior can only be described as 'stupid'."

Lila nodded in agreement.

"However, based on Allen's performance not long ago, whether it was the limelight in the Mage Tower admissions assessment or the various ways of dealing with people after the assessment, it is clear that this person is not stupid at all, and is even very smart.

"And the most coincidental thing is that a few weeks ago, Allen actually got his wish and had the magical talent he dreamed of.

"Lila, you just said that a sudden change in magic talent is an extremely rare thing. But this kind of thing happened to Allen. Do you think this is really a coincidence?"

Lila frowned slightly and said nothing for a while.

"So, I quietly sent someone to hint to the editorial department of the Braden Morning News, hoping that they could conduct a more personal interview with Alan York and add some insidious questions to the article."

"Then have you found the answer?" Lila looked down at the Queen's newspaper and asked.

"No," Queen Margaret shook her head, "Alan York is a very cunning person. In this interview, he didn't answer a single question directly. They were all clever jokes.

"Obviously, he has hidden secrets."

When Queen Margaret said this, she still maintained the solemn demeanor of a superior. But through her eyebrows, Lila could see that she was still a curious little girl at heart who liked to inquire about secrets.

"You seem to want to know his secret?" Lila asked with a smile.

"From a personal perspective, I am indeed curious," the Queen nodded, then shook her head, "But from the perspective of the kingdom, this secret is not actually important. After all, everyone has their own secrets. Now, we just need

It was enough to know that behind him stood the Mage Tower and Earl William.

"I think with him... maybe we can muddy the waters in the capital a little more."

Having said this, the Queen smiled slightly again. Without the crown, she looked like a child who had succeeded in a prank.

"You are right," Lila responded, "Then, we will follow His Highness Edward's instructions?"

"no problem."

Then there was a brief silence.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the maid Lila raised her head again, pointed at the document in the queen’s hand, and asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, can you show me... Alan York's interview transcript and photos?"

"Of course." the Queen replied.

After saying that, she tilted the document in her hand slightly so that Lila could see the contents more clearly.

Lila stared at the document... to be precise, she stared at Allen's photo for a long time, then her eyes lit up and she said:

"He...he's so good-looking."

The Queen glanced at her, noncommittal.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my offense. But...since there are so many photos of Allen, can you give me one to keep?" Lila pondered for a moment and asked boldly.

"No," the Queen refused flatly, "The Braddon Morning Post is still waiting to take them all back."

…………

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Allen and Howard were going to the Mage Tower to report.

On this day, both Allen and Howard felt a little excited and a little nervous.

Allen knew that according to the rules of the Mage Tower, after entering the Mage Tower, he would soon be allowed to enter the library and choose his own meditation method.

When he learns to meditate, he can draw magic power from the void and become a veritable magician.

At the same time, in the library, he might also be able to fully understand the secret of the black crystal and confirm the absurd-sounding conjecture in his mind.

As for Howard, he will work with other new students to make a two-way choice between mentors and students to determine the main direction of magic in the future.

"Howard, who do you want your mentor to be the most?" Allen asked jokingly when he was about to go out, "I think, as a rare student with 'excellent' talent, you must be very popular with your mentors.

Bar!"

"Of course Ms. Les Rose," Howard replied with a smile, "As far as I know, over the years, Ms. Les has been working on how to control flames more accurately and flexibly. If I can learn this skill, cooking or something

It will be more convenient.”

"Good idea," Allen nodded in agreement, "Remember, you still owe me three breakfasts, four lunches and two dinners."

However, at this moment, before they could reach the door, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Dong dong dong!"
