Chapter 198 [Roland Magic Holy Land]

This kind of rumor is intriguing.

Human nature likes to hunt for curiosity. Everyone likes to hear this kind of gossip news, especially from famous people.

Even if it is not in the Roland world, but in the real life where Chen Daolin is located, the website's entertainment gossip news always remains high.

This rumor seems particularly "special" because it involves the empire's first legendary wealthy Tulip family.

Especially, when it was rumored that the President Carmen had such an ambiguous relationship with the previous Duke of Tulip.

Even her son's identity became a mystery - at this time, this matter is no longer just a "gossip rumor"!

It brings more unique effects!

First of all, Ms. Carmen's position in the Magic Academy is deeply rooted and almost unshakable!

The reason is very simple... She is a person selected by the Tulip family, and it is rumored that she is the "secret lover" of the previous generation of Tulip Dukes.

With such a relationship, who dares to touch her?!

Who dares to compete for power with her in the Magic Academy? If the Tulip family is the Supreme Emperor of Hogwarts Academy, then there is no doubt that Ms. Carmen is considered an invisible "Supreme Mission".

As for this Xiao Deer, his identity is even more subtle and special!

If...if this rumor is true, then this Xiao Del should be the blood of the Tulip Family! It is the blood of the Tulip Family!!

Even if this identity is not certain, it just exists in everyone's rumors and speculations - but this is enough!

After all, the identity of "blood of the Tulip Family" is too noble, even if this identity is not certain - it is important to know that most people are willing to treat it with a mentality that they would rather trust them than be without them.

Xiao Deer's identity is a mystery, so everyone should be particularly polite or even respectful when dealing with this special "magic apprentice" - what if the rumor is true?

You know, even a few years ago, when Du Weiwei was still a minor in inheriting the title, the upper class of the empire once had such a voice: Du Weiwei is a girl after all, and is not the best candidate to inherit the title of Duke. If... if the Duke had a son, it would be the best thing.

At that time, someone had thrown the name Xiao Deer into the eyes of everyone, either unintentionally or intentionally.

Some people even mention Xiao Deer and call him: the heir of the duke who is wandering among the people.

Of course, this is just a small episode, and this argument soon disappeared.

From beginning to end, the royal family and the Tulip family remained silent about this voice without reacting to it - of course, they did not deny the rumors.

Even one of the parties involved, Dean Carmen, never made any comments and remained silent.

Of course, no one dared to stand in front of her and openly raise such a question.

Is Carmen the woman of Duke of Tulips, and is Shawder the illegitimate son of the Tulips family?

No one except the parties know about this kind of problem.

No one even dared to ask.

To be clear, the powerful and powerful men of the Roland Empire can't even find someone qualified to ask questions! Even His Majesty the Emperor wants to call Du Weiwei Aunt, how can he be qualified to ask other people's elders about their privacy?

The Tulip family remained silent, and Carmen himself remained silent, and this matter was left unresolved.

However, Carmen's identity as president is naturally as stable as Mount Tai, and her son Xiao Del, the legendary illegitimate son of the Tulip family, has also become a "special figure" in the imperial magic world. He is obviously just a magic apprentice, but no matter where he goes, he is respected.

...

Chen Daolin stood in the scroll shop at the Magic Union headquarters and chatted with the operator for a long time. After hearing such gossip, he couldn't help but sigh.

No matter what, he was very bad at Xiao Deer's senses. The other party's faint arrogance made Chen Daolin feel very unhappy.

If he was really the illegitimate son of the Tulip family, then all the preferential treatment he received now came from this special identity - in Chen Daolin's opinion, there was nothing to be proud of, and there was no reason to put on an arrogant attitude.

But if that rumor is false, then the arrogant attitude of Mr. Xiao Del is even more ridiculous - he is simply taking advantage of others' awe of the Tulip family.

To put it nicely, it is because of the power of a fox and tiger. To put it badly, it is because of the deception of the world and stealing reputation!

What is the difference between this approach and the scam who pretends to be Li Ka-shing's son and goes to scam in the real world?

"The illegitimate son of the Tulip family? The heir of the duke who was wandering among the people? What a joke!" Chen Daolin sneered.

Chen Daolin probably didn't realize that at least half of the reason for his disgust towards Xiao Deer was that he had a good personal relationship with Du Weiwei.

Xiao Deer's half-true identity actually hurt Du Weiwei, so Chen Daolin was very unhappy.

Even he himself did not really realize this emotion.

...

After reading several magic material stores, Chen Daolin no longer had the mood to continue wandering. He walked into the hall, grabbed a passing magic apprentice, asked the other party, and then went straight to his biggest goal of the trip.

The reception department of the Magic Union.

From the southeast corner of the Hexagram building, there was an arch next to the wall. Chen Daolin came here with guidance from his magic apprentice, walked into the arch, and then found a handle on the wall and pulled it gently.

Soon he felt the fluctuation of magic power, and the space around him flashed for a moment. When he looked outside again, the hall downstairs was no longer outside the arch.

Here we have reached the second floor of the Hexagram Building.

In front of me is a long corridor, the building's style is simple and old, full of a depressing feeling.

At the end of the corridor was a crimson door, which was half open. Chen Dao walked over and stood at the door and gently patted the door panel.

There was a table in the room. Behind the table, there were two magic apprentices wearing silver robes, one of whom was dozing off, and the other was holding a book and reading it quietly.

The sound of Chen Daolin slapping the door immediately alarmed the person inside. The dozing man immediately sat upright, and the reader put down the book in his hand. The two saw Chen Daolin standing outside the door, especially the magician robe on each other, and at the same time showed a serious expression.

"Please come in, Lord God of the Great Magician." The two magic apprentices stood up at the same time and bowed to Chen Daolin and saluted: "Is there anything I can serve you?"

Before Chen Dao walked to the table, he looked at the room first.

There are rows of old and thick wooden cabinets in front of the surrounding walls, and are densely packed with various files - giving people the feeling that it is like an old-fashioned archive or library.

Chen Daolin smiled politely on his face, then took out his magic badge - the one given by Du Weiwei, gently placed it on the table, and smiled and said, "Wu An, gentlemen. I need to apply for a magic level assessment."

As he said that, his eyes fell on the table, the book on the table by the magic apprentice who had just been studying - this is a classic of magical pharmacy.

"Oh!" Both magic apprentices seemed very enthusiastic. The sleepy man immediately widened his eyes and looked at Chen Daolin: "Are you going to apply for the assessment level? Oh, then congratulations, this mage, you must have improved your magical strength in the near future!"

The magic apprentice who was studying seemed calmer. He looked at Chen Daolin and smiled politely: "Your Excellency, we need some information from you... Well, it's just some documents."

As he said that, he picked up the quill on the table, took out a piece of parchment, and smiled and said, "I need your name and registration of your identity... By the way, what is your current magic level?"

"Low level." Chen Daolin smiled faintly.

He was not too worried about his identity. Before he arrived in the imperial capital, he had already found out that the level assessment of the Magic Union headquarters would not investigate the original identity of the examiner.

Because there is no computer or network in this world, all the information is still in paper form.

It’s not like in the real world, where you are in any local official department, just by reporting your name, you can get all your archives and experiences from the government’s network.

There is no such advanced office conditions in this world.

So when the Magic Union applies for an assessment, you only need to provide a name and then specify the level you are preparing to challenge - that's fine.

The Magic Union will not ask you where the magic level was tested before - all magic unions branches in the entire continent can assess magic levels below the middle level. Who has time to check?

Moreover, because of the many quirks of the magicians in this world, many magicians regard their own level assessment as their privacy and generally do not like to talk to others. Some magicians even like to hide their strength and do not like to tell others their true level.

“So what level do you want to challenge?”

Chen Daolin smiled: "I plan to apply for promotion to the intermediate mage, of course... As for whether it is level 5 or level 6, it depends on luck."

Both magic apprentices heard the meaning of this - Chen Daolin was very confident and implied that he was even sure to challenge the level six mage - this was already the highest level of a mid-level mage.

Generally speaking, when a magician challenges higher levels, he will upgrade step by step. Chen Daolin, who is from a low-level mage (the highest three poles), is ready to challenge level 5 or even level 6 at once. That must be full of confidence, or his strength has increased rapidly in the near future.

"Then, I need to record your name and age." The magic apprentice who was holding the pen asked politely.

"Darling Chen, is he... twenty-four years old."

Chen Dao hesitated and decided to report his true age. Although Du Weiwei had thought that he was only twenty years old before, and that his age was lower, it would make people more likely to give birth to a sense of young genius.

But Chen Daolin himself didn't care about these things: the old man is not those women who rely on their faces to make a living, so there is no need to pretend to be young.

"Oh, twenty-four years old." The magic apprentice who wrote the pen compliment: "You look so young!"

Chen Daolin smiled - indeed, compared with people in this world, he does look a little tender.

"Twenty-four years old... Then we have to congratulate you first. Master Darling Chen." Another magic apprentice said politely: "Twenty-four-year-old intermediate mage... You are a real genius!"

"You'll say these words until the assessment is successful." Chen Daolin smiled.

"You are too modest."

The magic apprentice seems to be dissatisfied. Because whoever comes to apply for the magic level assessment will come with no confidence. If you are not sure, come to the test casually. If you fail, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Magicians are all very demanding people!

Since the young magician in front of him came to apply for the qualification of an intermediate mage, it is obvious that he must have the strength of an intermediate mage!

The twenty-four-year-old intermediate mage... Maybe it's still a level six!

Such a person should never be underestimated. Maybe one day he will become a big shot in the magic world.

"Then... Master Darling, according to the process, we will apply for the assessment. If nothing unexpected happens, we will arrange an assessment in the next month. Of course, this time is not very certain. Maybe it may be advanced, maybe it may be delayed..."

"One month?" Chen Daolin frowned: "Does it take that long?"

The magic apprentice who held the pen put down the quill and replied politely: "Because you are challenging the intermediate mage. According to regulations, challenge the identity of the intermediate mage, the witnesses present must have an advanced mage present to have authority and legality. And you know... those advanced mage masters are very busy, and most of them hide in their own magic labs and rarely go out. So... the higher the level of the assessment, the more you need to coordinate the precious time of these mage masters. Relatively speaking, the time of the intermediate mage is not so busy, so if you are assessing the identity of a low-level mage, you can arrange it quickly. However, if you are assessing the intermediate mage, you must invite a high-level mage as your main examiner."
