On a main road in Saint Laurent City.
A fleet of carriages was slowly moving forward.
The leading carriage was extremely luxurious. On the outside, it was carved with gorgeous patterns and inlaid with all kinds of precious gemstones. The two horses pulling the carriage were even rare pure white unicorns.
Pure white unicorns not only had powerful strength, but also represented luck and strength.
Even a single multicolored unicorn was enough to drive the nobles crazy. They would even spend tens of thousands of gold coins to buy it.
And here, there were two pure white unicorns that were emitting holy light.
If anyone saw them, they would definitely cry out in disbelief.
And behind the carriage, there was a group of knights wearing black armor. Each of them was tall and sturdy. They wore exquisite armor, and there was a long sword at their waist. The warhorses under them were even more terrifying magical beasts.
At the front of the group was a knight in golden armor. He carried a longbow and a long sword on his back.
Because his face armor was covered, his face could not be seen. One could only see a pair of captivating eyes through his eyes.
He was Batra.
He was the empire’s most powerful Dragon Knight!
A powerful rank-7 warrior!
When the empire was conquering the southern barbarians, he single-handedly killed two rank-6 wizards from the southern barbarians. He was known as the Empire’s God of War.
However, at this moment, the Empire’s God of War, a powerful rank-7 warrior, the Dragon Knight, Batra, was at the forefront of the convoy, guarding the carriage. He was also looking back at the carriage at the very front, a look of reverence in his eyes.
Although he was already a rank-7 warrior, the Empire’s God of War, every time he thought of the Princess of the Empire sitting on the carriage, Batra’s heart would surge, and the feelings of reverence would be hard to suppress.
When this princess of the Empire was born, a strange scene appeared in the sky. Boundless golden light shone directly through the dense dark clouds, as if it was the blessing of a god, turning the night into day, dispersing the dark clouds.
This strange scene lasted for three whole days before it stopped.
At that time, the entire empire was shaken. Even the Archbishop of the Holy See believed that this princess was a descendant of the Sun God, and that she would become the Holy Maiden of the Holy See in the future, receiving the attention and love of the Sun God.
There were also people who said that she was a natural-born mage god. Several ancient existences who lived in seclusion on the continent were shocked awake and wanted to take this princess as a disciple.
One of them was the president of the Holy Laurent City Mage Association, Shen Fa.
A rank-7 mage was already one of the top mages in the entire empire.
After receiving the invitation of Shen Fa, a grand mage, Her Highness the Princess gladly came.
Shen Fa was one of the honorary principals of the Saint Laurent City Magic Academy. The princess only needed to go through the admission process to be able to acknowledge Shen Fa as her master.
Therefore, she was currently on her way to the Saint Laurent City Magic Academy.
...
Su Han met his senior brother and explained his intentions.
In the end, Shen Fa decided to personally bring Su Han to the academy to test his strength.
But what Su Han didn’t understand was that Shen Fa seemed to be happy about something.
He seemed especially excited along the way.
When asked why he was happy, he only revealed a mysterious smile, which made Su Han confused.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the Saint Laurent Magic Academy.
July was the season for the Saint Laurent Magic Academy to recruit students.
The continuous stream of people from the entrance of the academy to the section of the overpass, which was at least 1,000 meters long and 100 meters wide, was now full of people.
This was only a part of it.
Because of the beastmen army blocking the forest outside Saint Laurent City, more than half of them had mysteriously disappeared.
Many students who had originally canceled their plans to enroll in the academy had also come back to report.
At this time, there were new students coming from all over the Empire, even from places outside the Empire.
Saint Laurent Magic Academy was one of the oldest magic academies in the Empire. Not only did it have three tier-7 archmages as the dean, but it also had countless powerful mages as instructors.
Many mages started their careers in Saint Laurent.
The prosperity here was not affected by being on the border.
On the contrary, it was abnormally prosperous.
Dwarves, goblins, elves, half-elves, and humans lived peacefully here. They even guarded the city together.
The orc army could do nothing to the city.
Therefore, many mages and other races wished to come to Saint Laurent City.
As one of the largest magic academies in the Empire, one had to go through many tests to enter Saint Roland Magic Academy to practice magic.
In addition to testing one’s magic talent, one’s mental strength, endurance, cultivation, and comprehension all needed to be tested.
Even so, one might not necessarily be able to enter Saint Laurent Magic Academy’s gate.
Because among the tens of thousands of people who were qualified to participate in the selection each year, less than a thousand people were able to enter the academy.
Such a cruel elimination rate was still unable to extinguish those people who had the dream of magic and the ambition of being strong. They swarmed over like moths to a flame.
In the Dean’s office.
Su Han carefully observed the dark environment around him.
The black curtains blocked out the sunlight cleanly. The floor was covered with a thick blanket, white and soft.
Saint Laurent bloomed on it. The purple petals were mixed with pure white flower buds, beautiful and noble.
On the wall, there were simple lamps.
However, they were not oil lamps. Instead, they were fist-sized glowing crystals, emitting a hazy halo.
This was the essence of the earth.
In the outside world, the size of a fingernail was enough to drive people crazy. Even a tier-5 mage would be tempted.
But here, it could only be used as an oil lamp or something similar to illuminate.
Su Han was not the only person in the room.
During the time he was waiting, Su Han saw more than ten white-bearded martial nephews greeting him.
Many of these white-bearded martial nephews were teachers in the academy. Any one of them was enough to make the city lords of the major cities pay attention to them and not dare to offend them.
However, in front of Su Han, all they had was kind smiles.
There even was a hint of flattery.
Su Han did not quite understand what they meant. He only guessed that their flattery might have something to do with his teacher.
In the teacup, there were a few pieces of tea leaves that had just been picked. They floated up and down in the water, looking extremely green.
This was the specialty of the elves who lived in the deep forest.
Drinking this tea could increase one’s affinity with the magical elements in the world. To a mage, it was a very precious treasure.
The Saint Laurent Magic Academy had used various resources and exchanged them with the elves. They were specially provided for teachers and excellent students to drink.
However, no matter how miraculous its effects were, Su Han did not care too much. This was because he did not have any affinity with the elements. This kind of tea had no effect on him at all.
It was pretty good for killing time.
From steaming up to completely cooled down.
In his heart, he was guessing where his senior brother had gone to and why he hadn’t come over after such a long time.
