Dumb hurriedly agreed. In any case, he had already passed the test, so waiting a little longer wasn't a big deal.

Keeger turned to the girl and smiled, "Miss, if I'm not mistaken, you should be someone from the Holy Hall, right?"

The girl was surprised, "How did you know?"

Keeger said, "I'm a great mage after all. If I couldn't recognize the highest blessing spell of the Holy Hall, Radiant God's Descent, then I would be too blind. May I know which priest's daughter you are? "

The girl was startled. She had never expected to be recognized here. She pouted, "I'm here for the magic test, not for you to check my identity. You must be the branch president, right? Hurry up and give me the magic test. "

Keeger groaned inwardly. He could tell that the girl in front of him had an extraordinary background. The blessing spell of Radiant God's Descent was cast by a blood-related light mage when a child was born. The child would be blessed with a holy constitution from birth, which would allow the child to learn light magic with half the effort. At the same time, this blessing spell could also dispel all evil. In other words, the elder of this girl must be a priest of the Holy Hall. To be able to use the Radiant God's Descent spell, one had to be at least a White Priest or above. Although mages had a lofty status on the continent, it was far from being comparable to the Holy Hall. Moreover, due to the same faith, all members of the clergy had a deep friendship. He didn't want to be hunted down by the Holy Hall for offending the girl in front of him. He hurriedly smiled apologetically, "Miss, since you are a member of the Holy Hall, isn't it good to be a goddess? Why do you need to come here for the test? If I were to give you the test, I wouldn't be able to bear the blame of your elders in the future! "

The girl snorted angrily and waved the magic staff in her hand, "I don't want to be a goddess. All they do is practice and pray every day. It's so annoying. Hurry up and give me the test, or I'll tell my father to stop all funding here."

Kiger was greatly alarmed by the girl's words. He immediately realized how serious the situation was. It seemed that this girl's father was someone with real power in the Holy Hall. Only they had the authority to control the Sorcerers Guild.

The good impression that the girl gave Dumb when she first appeared disappeared after a few words between her and Keith. This was the first time he had seen such an unruly and willful girl. Afraid of being implicated, he hurriedly retreated to the side and quietly watched how Keith would deal with the situation.

Keeg hesitated for a long time before saying, "Alright. Since you insist on taking the test, then I won't stop you. But if your elders blame you in the future, it's none of my business."

The girl said impatiently, "Alright, alright, hurry up and start. How do we test it? "

Keager smiled bitterly to himself. How come the two test-takers today didn't even understand the test method? He could only explain, "You just need to use your strongest magic to attack me."

The girl snorted and said, "Alright, then be careful." She raised her magic staff and chanted, "Light dispels evil. Divine guidance leads to confusion. Release, free elements floating in the air. – Divine Light. " As she chanted, the staff in the girl's hand emitted a faint white light, filling the entire hall with a strong divine aura. The light around the staff gradually expanded, wrapping around the girl in an instant. A faint smile appeared on the girl's face as she gently waved her staff. "Holy light, heed my command. Dispel the evil in this world." A holy light that was half a meter in diameter suddenly blasted towards Kigal with a wave of her staff.

Keeg sighed inwardly. Since when did he become evil? The Divine Light that the girl used was a high-level light spell. Among the various types of magic, light magic had a certain effect on all other types of magic apart from dark magic. This kind of high-level magic could only be used by a high-ranked light mage who had been baptized by a red-robed priest. Keeg wasn't completely certain that he could withstand it. Moreover, he couldn't injure the girl in front of him. He had no choice but to strengthen the Guardian of Water that he had condensed while the girl was chanting the spell to the maximum. He condensed all the magic power in his body into waves of water and used the principle of refraction to deflect the Holy Light that the girl had emitted. However, he had forgotten that he and the girl were not the only ones in the back hall. Dumby was standing beside them.

Dumb had long since been stunned by the girl's beautiful magic. This Divine Light was much more powerful than his Fire Meteor. The girl looked much younger than him, but her magic level was much higher. He couldn't help but secretly admire her. In fact, he didn't know that the reason the girl could use Divine Light was because of her light physique, but the main reason was because of the staff in her hand that was comparable to a Divine Artifact.

The Divine Light suddenly shot towards Keeg's Water Ward, causing it to ripple and sway. Sweat continuously flowed down from Keeg's forehead. In a flash of light, it finally refracted the Divine Light. How could the exhausted Keeg still have the time to bounce back? The Divine Light immediately shrouded Dumb.

Dumb's mana had long since been used up during the previous test. Seeing the Divine Light descend, he simply couldn't react in time. The light flickered and completely enveloped his body. The huge impact pushed Dumb to the ground behind him. The Divine Aura instantly burst out, turning the object in Dumb's hand into ashes. Severe pain suddenly spread throughout Dumb's body. At this critical moment, the Hell King's Sword on his chest emitted a faint blue light that protected Dumb's body. A powerful evil aura blocked the Divine Light. The white jade ring on Dumb's left index finger suddenly lit up. With a flash of light, the Divine Light was suddenly absorbed by the ring. Dumb's body became lighter and the evil aura emitted by the Hell King's Sword immediately converged.

The girl cried out in alarm. She was shocked to find that the magic power in her body was being frantically absorbed by the ring on the silly boy's hand. Almost in the blink of an eye, the little magic power in her body and the Holy Light that was emitted had completely disappeared. The girl weakly fell to the ground, her big eyes staring blankly at Dumb.

The white jade ring returned to its original state. Dumb didn't understand what was going on and was at a loss.

Ji Ge was also stunned. He looked at Dumb in surprise. Then he used the remaining mana in his body to cast a Water Spirit Technique on the girl.

Under the effect of the magic, the girl's face had a trace of redness. Her spirit suddenly improved a lot. She propped herself up and stared at Dumb as she walked towards him step by step. Pointing her finger at his nose, she said, "I'm in the middle of a Magician test. Why are you interfering? You're here to compensate me for my mana. "

Although Dumby didn't suffer any injuries, the impact at the beginning still made his back faintly hurt. He saw the girl lying on the ground, but he didn't understand why the ring would absorb the girl's magic power. His heart was full of regret, and he hurriedly said: "I, I'm sorry, Miss, I, I didn't mean it. How can I compensate you? "

The girl's big eyes turned and said, "It's your ring that absorbed my mana. You should compensate me for it."

Hearing that the girl wanted his ring, Dumb hastily hid his left hand behind his back. That was a gift from the strange fish. How could he be willing to give it to someone else? He stammered, "No! This ring is very important to me. I can't compensate you. You should ask for something else. "

The girl stubbornly said, "No, I want that ring." She was doted on by everyone since she was a child. No matter who it was, they were all respectful to her. She had never been unable to obtain anything she wanted.

Ji Ge walked to their side and tried to smooth things over, "Miss, I think we should forget about it. If it weren't for this little brother's ring absorbing your holy light, I'm afraid he would have …"

The girl glared at him and said, "You still dare to say that? It's all your fault. Who told you to reflect my holy light? I still haven't settled the score with you, so why are you acting like a good person? "

Ji Ge thought to himself, 'If I didn't reflect your holy light, you might really have been purified.' He really didn't dare to provoke this girl of unknown origin and could only awkwardly retreat to the side. 'This silly boy is out of luck. But I shouldn't get involved. Being wise and taking care of myself is the best policy.'

Dumb looked at Ji Ge, then looked at the girl, and said, "I really can't give you the ring. How about, how about I give you some money?" Agreeing to give money was already Dumb's limit. For him, a gold coin was equivalent to two hundred steamed buns! While saying that, Dumb took out the money pouch given to him by Francis.

The girl snorted and said, "Who wants your stinky money? Fine, you don't have to give me the ring, but you have to promise me one condition. " This silly boy in front of her, if she didn't bully him, then her nickname of the little witch in the Holy Hall would be in vain.

Dumb couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't want his ring, he didn't care about anything else. He hastily asked, "What condition?"

The girl's big eyes turned, revealing a trace of slyness, and said, "This girl is playing on the continent, and I'm lacking a follower. Looking at your appearance, it seems that you have some ability. As long as you follow this girl and be my follower for a year, I'll forgive you. This condition is very generous. Letting you follow me is your fortune. "

Dumb resolutely said, "No, I can't agree to this condition." He wanted to quickly return to Teacher Goris's side, how could he be delayed with this girl?

The girl looked straight at Dumb, and after a long time, her beautiful big eyes turned red. She sniffed a few times, and tears poured down, "You, you bully me, you bully me, you're a big man bullying a little girl, you're so shameless! Wu, wu wu … "

Seeing the girl crying bitterly, Dumb was startled and immediately panicked. In his memory, she would only cry when she left Mr. Goris and Uncle Owen. Could it be that he had absorbed the girl's magic power? Did she really feel so sad? "Ah! Miss, don't cry, it's my fault, it's all my fault, don't cry. "

Dumb didn't try to persuade her, and this made her cry even harder. Perhaps she was tired from crying, but she simply sat on the ground and cried even harder. Dumb looked at Keeg for help, but Keeg made a helpless gesture, indicating that he also had no solution. This kind of problem was not something a Great Mage like him could solve. If others saw a girl in the dignified Sorcerers Guild crying like this, they would really suspect that there was something wrong with his style. He was now eager for the girl to leave, but there was nothing he could do.

Dumb squatted next to the girl and helplessly said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, let's discuss it again, how about it?"

The girl's tears came and went quickly. Hearing Dumb's words, she immediately stopped crying. She raised her tear-stained face and sobbed, "Then tell me, will you give me the ring, or will you be my attendant for a year?"

Dumby said with a bitter face, "Can you shorten the time of being a follower? A year is really too long. I still have a lot of things to do!"

The girl's delicate nose twitched, and tears flowed out again. Seeing this, Dumb quickly wiped her tears with his sleeve and said, "I, I promise you, don't cry anymore."

When the girl heard Dumby agree, her tears immediately turned into a smile. She said, "Okay, this is what you said. A man should keep his word."

Dumb lowered his head and nodded with a bitter expression, "I can follow you, but you have to take care of my meals."

The girl wiped her tears and said, "Isn't it just eating? That's easy, but you have to listen to me for a year. Otherwise, I'll cry in front of you. "

On the side, Keith secretly sighed. Fortunately, this girl didn't rely on him. Otherwise, he would have to suffer a lot. But it's a pity for this silly boy to be her attendant for a year? I'm afraid he won't have a good time! Only God knows what tricks this naughty girl can come up with.

The girl stood up and angrily said to Keith, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? I just passed the Magician's test, right? Give us what we deserve. "

Dumb embarrassedly said, "I'm sorry, Mage Keith, but the things you asked me to hold are gone."

How could Keegan care about those things now? As long as this little demoness could leave, he would be lucky. Fearing that she might have some other strange request, he hastily said, "It's fine, it's fine. I'll get you another set." With that said, he quickly ran to the door on the wall and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing that Keg had left, the girl giggled and said to Dumby, "You still haven't told me your name."

Dumb honestly said, "I, I'm called Dumb."

The girl was stunned, and after a long time, she suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter was as sweet as a silver bell. "Ah, Dumb, haha, haha, I'm dying of laughter. I didn't think there would be such a name. Dumb, it's quite a nice name. Haha, I'm dying of laughter." She clutched her stomach and couldn't stand up straight.

Dumb murmured, "So what if I'm called Dumb? Is it really that funny? "

After a long time, the girl stood up and looked at Dumb's appearance. She couldn't help but laugh and ridicule, "You really live up to your name! You're really dumb. "

Dumb frowned and said, "Making fun of others is very rude."

The girl was obviously in a good mood. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you. Since I know your name, I'll tell you mine. I'm Xuanyue. You can call me Yue. "

Dumb shook his head and said, "I'll call you Xuanyue. It feels weird to call you Yue."

Xuanyue snorted and said, "What's weird about it? Don't forget that you're my follower. Don't have any weird ideas!"

When it came to Xuan Yue, not to mention having crooked thoughts, Dumby simply avoided her like the plague. He curled his lips and said, "I don't have crooked thoughts. Moreover, you're still so young."

Xuanyue was furious. She stuck out her chest that had just started developing and said, "How am I young? How am I young? I'll be fifteen in three months. I hate it when people say I'm young. "

Dumb couldn't argue with her. He immediately surrendered and said, "Okay, okay. Not small, not small." He decided to talk to this girl as little as possible in the future to avoid trouble.

Xuanyue snorted with satisfaction and said, "That's more like it. What level did you pass in the exam? "

Dumb lowered his head and said honestly, "Master Keager said that I've reached the level of an intermediate mage."

Xuanyue said with disdain, "Only intermediate! It seems that your teacher isn't a very capable guy. "

Hearing Xuanyue slandering his teacher, Dumb suddenly became angry and said, "Miss Xuanyue, please don't insult my teacher. My low level of magic is because of my poor aptitude. It has nothing to do with my teacher. You, if you insult my teacher again, I'll, I'll … "

Xuanyue snorted and said, "You, you, what can you do to me? If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Seeing that you have some self-awareness, I'll let your teacher go. But you just made a big mistake, you know? "

Dumb was stunned and said with a sad face, "I, what did I do? I didn't provoke you. "

Xuanyue said confidently, "Who said you didn't provoke me? What did you call me just now?"

Dumb said, "Miss Xuanyue! Didn't you say you were called Xuanyue? "

Xuanyue snorted and said, "But, what did I tell you to call me before? I told you to call me Yue. Calling me Yue is giving you face. Others can't call me that even if they want to. If you call me Miss Xuanyue again, I'll call you Dai Dai or Little Dai Dai. Which one do you like? "While saying that, Xuanyue's face revealed a 'wicked' expression.

Dumb smiled bitterly and said, "Don't, don't. I'll call you Yue, okay? I'm already stupid enough. If you add another one, I'll be even more stupid. "

Xuanyue giggled and said, "That's more like it."

At this time, Keager came back with a large pile of things. He divided the things in his hands into two and gave one to Dumb and one to Xuanyue. He said, "Tell me your names and birthplaces. I'll register them. " He saw Xuanyue excitedly looking at the things in his hands and begged God in his heart, hoping that this little witch would be satisfied and leave quickly.

Xuanyue flipped through the things in her hands and said, "My name is Xuanyue. You already know where I'm from."

Dumb said, "My name is Dumb. My birthplace is in the Xibo Tribe's Shitang Town."

Keager nodded and said, "Good. Miss Xuanyue, you passed the advanced mage certification. As the president of the Sorcerers Guild, I grant you the title of advanced light mage. Dumb, you passed the intermediate mage certification. As the president of the Sorcerers Guild, I grant you the title of intermediate fire mage. "

Xuanyue said angrily, "Wait, wait, wait. How can I only be an advanced mage? Even if I can't reach the level of a Magic Scholar, I should at least be an advanced mage. How did you test it? "

Keager said bitterly, "Miss, it's not that I don't want you to pass the advanced mage certification, but only the Sorcerers Guild's headquarters in the Hwasin Empire has the qualifications to grant it. I don't have enough authority! "

Xuan Yue let out a dissatisfied grunt and said, "Alright, I'll let you go. Anyway, the Light Province is very close to the Church. I'll go there when I have the time."

Keager knew that the two people in front of him didn't know anything about the certification, so he explained, "The things in your hands are a set of mage robes and an ordinary wooden wand that can increase the effectiveness of secondary spells by one percent. There is a symbol on the robes to prove your identity. In addition, the bag with the hexagram embroidered on it is your monthly salary for this month. The monthly salary of an Advanced Magician is 50 gold coins, and the monthly salary of an Intermediate Magician is 20 gold coins. Wait a bit, I'll make two magic cards for you with your identity and name on them. If the robes are damaged, you can get it from the Sorcerers Guild. "With that, he didn't wait for Xuanyue to ask and ran back to the room in the back.

Xuan Yue was obviously more interested in the things in her hands than in Keegan. She excitedly shook out her magic robe and put it on. It was a white magic robe. When she put it on, the large cloak almost completely covered her body. As long as she lowered her head, even if someone walked up to her, they wouldn't be able to see her face.

Dumb was still young. When he saw Xuanyue put it on, he hurriedly untied the Tiangang Sword on his back and put on his own mage robe. It was a red mage robe. Due to Dumb's tall stature, the robe was a bit tight, but he could still wear it. He picked up the long wooden wand and looked like a fire mage.

Xuanyue jumped in excitement and giggled, "Now they won't be able to find me. That's great, haha. But this wooden wand is so ugly! I don't want it. " With that, she casually threw the wand to the side. This wand could only increase the effect of magic by one percent. It was useless to her. Throwing away the wand, Xuanyue's gaze fell on the sword Dumb had put on the ground. She asked, "You're a mage. Why do you have a sword? Do you know martial arts? Can you even use such a big weapon? "

Dumb said, "This is my Tiangang Sword. I know some sword techniques."

Xuanyue walked to the Tiangang Sword and squatted down excitedly. She reached for the leather pouch with the sword in it. With her strength, how could she lift such a heavy Tiangang Sword? No matter how hard she pulled, the sword pouch wouldn't budge. Xuanyue said in a huff, "What's this? It's so heavy. Pick it up and let me see."

Dumb was helpless. He was afraid of this little girl now. He just wanted to finish the one-year promise as soon as possible so he could go back and see Teacher Goris. He reached out and picked up the Tiangang Sword. He held it with both hands and brought it in front of Xuanyue. Xuanyue held the hilt of the Tiangang Sword with both hands and tried to pull it out. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it at all.

Dumb secretly laughed and said, "The Tiangang Sword weighs more than 70kg. You're a mage. You won't be able to lift it."

Xuanyue panted and put her hands on her hips. She said coquettishly, "What kind of broken sword is this? You're bullying me. I don't care. Show me some sword techniques. "

Dumb said, "The sword is for self-defense. It's not for fun. Forget it."

Xuanyue pushed the cloak off her head and said angrily, "No. You're my follower now. If I tell you to play, you have to play. And you have to play well. Hurry up and play! Otherwise, I'll, I'll, I'll cry for you. "

Dumb frowned and said, "Okay, okay. I'll play." He pulled out the Tiangang Sword and looked around. The walls of the inner hall seemed very sturdy. He walked over. In Dumb's mind, Keeger once said that the walls here had a magic barrier. It should be quite sturdy. That was why he wanted to cut the wall to show Xuanyue. He knew that if the unruly lady in front of him wasn't satisfied, she would definitely not let him go. But he didn't know that the Sorcerers Guild only allowed mages to test it. The barrier on the wall was against magic attacks.

Xuanyue excitedly ran to Dumb's side and said, "What are you going to show me?"

Dumb looked at her and said, "I'll try to cut the wall. You stay far away and don't get hurt by the recoil."

A strange light flashed in Xuanyue's eyes. She said, "You also care about people?" While saying that, she took a few steps back.

In fact, Dumb didn't care about her. He cared about himself. He was afraid that if Xuanyue got hurt again, she would blackmail him and make him her follower for a few more years. He was afraid.

Dumb held the Tiangang Sword with both hands and raised it above his head. The life energy in his body was naturally mobilized. A faint white light with a holy aura emitted from the sword. The Tiangang Sword, which was about the same height as Dumb, constantly flickered. Suddenly, he took a step forward and shouted. The Tiangang Sword suddenly slashed at the wall in front of him.

"No!" A cry of alarm came, but Dumb had already used up his momentum. It was impossible to retract it. With a loud bang, a three meter wide hole suddenly appeared in the wide wall of the inner hall.

Dumb and Keager, who had just finished making magic cards, were both stunned. Dumb was surprised, while Keager was sad. The barrier on the wall was something he had spent a lot of effort on. How could he not be distressed when it was destroyed just like that?

"Wow, great! I didn't expect you to have such skills. This is great. From now on, you will be my follower and bodyguard. " Xuanyue grabbed Dumb's hand and jumped up and down. She didn't notice the ugly expressions on the faces of the two men.

Ignoring Xuanyue, Dumb turned to Keager and bowed deeply. He apologized, "Master Keager, I'm really sorry. I didn't know the barrier was so weak. I-I'm willing to compensate you."

Only now did Xuanyue notice Keager's arrival. She angrily said, "What compensation? I was the one who made him perform for me. If you want compensation, go to the Holy Hall and find my father. Just say that Xuanyue broke it. He will definitely compensate you. "

Keager dejectedly said, "Forget it, forget it. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. These are your magic cards. Take them and leave. "If they didn't leave now, the entire union would be destroyed in their hands.

Xuanyue giggled and took the cards from Keager's hand. She threw the red one to Dumb and the white one to herself. She pulled Dumb along and said, "Come on, let's go play."

Dumb still wanted to say something to Keager, but seeing Xuanyue's unfriendly expression, he could only follow her and leave the Sorcerers Guild.

Behind them, Keager muttered, "Why am I so unlucky? My poor wall! Old Huang, go find all the magicians in the city. I want to repair the wall. "

Dumb and Yue left the Sorcerers Guild. As soon as they stepped out, Yue suddenly cheered, "Ah! I'm a magician now! " Her voice immediately attracted the attention of the passersby. When they saw the magic robes that Dumb and Xuanyue were wearing, they simultaneously revealed looks of envy and respect. On the continent, the scarcity of magicians reflected their preciousness.

Xuanyue moved to Dumb's side and knocked on Dumb's head with the small magic staff in her hand. She said, "Dumb's sidekick, where do you think we should go to play now?"

Dumb was not familiar with the continent at all. He said blankly, "Play? You want me to follow you just to play? "

Xuanyue said matter-of-factly, "Yes! It's not easy to get out, so of course we should have fun. Hey, there seem to be a lot of people there. What are they doing? Look, they all have weapons like you. "She pointed to the mercenary union and asked curiously.

Dumb said, "That's the mercenary union. That's where many mercenaries take on missions."

Xuanyue's big eyes lit up. She said, "Then let's go take a look. There must be something fun there."

As she spoke, she grabbed Dumby's hand and ran towards the Mercenary Guild without any hesitation.

Xuanyue's small hand was soft as if there were no bones in Dumb's big, rough hand. A strange feeling immediately spread through Dumb's body. But Xuanyue's words gave Dumb a fright. He could not be bothered to feel that gentle little hand. He quickly stopped and said, "No, no, let's not go." He had just left the mercenary union not long ago. He did not want to be entangled by the people there. Moreover, if Francis saw him going with a little girl, he did not know how he would react.

Xuan Yue was just a little girl. When Dumby stood still, her body was immediately pulled back. She let out a cry of pain and crashed into Dumby's sturdy body, causing her to cry out in pain.

"What are you doing? It hurts so much! "

Dumb hurriedly apologized and said, "Yue, let's not go. I, I still have things to do."

Xuanyue snorted and said, "You have things to do? I still have things to do. Don't forget, you are now my follower. You have to listen to me. If I tell you to go east, you have to go east. Let's go. I want to go to the mercenary union. I have long heard that the Red Mongol is a gathering place for mercenaries. This is a good opportunity to see for myself. I love adventures. "

Dumb said with a bitter face, "Yue, you go first. I still have something to do. I will look for you later."

Xuanyue blinked her big eyes and looked at Dumb. She said doubtfully, "Are you thinking of running away? You'd better remember this for me! Since you have already agreed to be my follower for a year, if you run away, don't blame me for being rude. "Saying that, she waved the magic staff in her hand threateningly.

Dumb had seen Xuanyue's magic before. He hurriedly explained, "No, I won't run away. I owe the owner of the steamed bun shop money. I have to return it to him first."

Xuanyue said, "Alright, I will go with you. After returning the money, we can go to the mercenary union." It wasn't easy to find such a Dumb follower. She couldn't let Dumb run away.

Dumb wanted to say something, but seeing that Xuanyue's magic staff was starting to glow, he could only let her be. Their attire was very conspicuous on the street. After all, in this city that wasn't very big, mages were still rare.

After a while, Dumb brought Xuanyue to the steamed bun shop. As it was close to noon, the business of the steamed bun shop was booming. The fat boss was very busy. Baskets of steaming steamed buns emitted bursts of fragrance.

Xuanyue inhaled the fragrance in the air and said to Dumb, "Steamed buns smell so good! I want to eat too. Dumb, buy it for me. "

"Oh." Dumb took a few steps forward and waited at the back of the line. He could wait, but Xuanyue couldn't. She walked to the side of the fat boss, grabbed a steamed bun, and took a bite. After chewing a few times, she frowned and said, "It's just so-so, nothing great." She waved her hand and threw the remaining steamed bun on the ground under the fat boss's confused gaze.

All of this fell into Dumb's eyes. A strong feeling of disgust filled his chest as he strode towards Xuanyue.
