Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 14 Thalia's Professional Judgment
Most of the time, they each quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

not moving at all.

The strange and beautiful scenery came into view at high speed, and passed by in a flash.

After a day of riding, it is already noon the next day.

Lan Qi propped his chin with one hand, turned his eyes away from the scroll-like scenery flowing outside the window, and looked at the clock on the train instead.

With the sparse buildings and pastures gradually appearing on the outskirts of the city, Lan Qi felt that the arrival station was not far away.

"Speaking of Tata, what is the shadow world in your understanding?"

He seemed to have finally gotten tired of looking at the scenery, and turned to ask Talia a question.

As the most difficult random dungeon that he knew hadn't been fully developed, Lan Qi also found a lot of information about "Shadow World" in the books of this world.

It's just that the mysterious "Shadow World" is far more complicated than he understands, and it has completely become an endless number of dangerous copies in this real world.

And the Icarite Academy of Magic that he is about to go to was originally an academy established with the goal of "cultivating talents who can conquer the shadow world".

The entrance exam will naturally be related.

"Leaving the shadow world alone or failing to conquer it will cause a natural disaster somewhere in the world, but you can gain power and wealth by clearing the level."

Thalia replied simply without moving her eyes.

Before she agreed to be Lan Qi's teacher, Ren Lan Qi asked her questions about magic cards, and she always answered them in this way.

Lan Qi nodded when he heard the words, and didn't mean to ask any more questions.

Same as written in the book.

For people in this world, the shadow world is like a double-edged sword.

Clearing Shadow World will get a lot of rewards, including the core materials for making magic cards, and pure natural magic cards that are more powerful than man-made ones.

Failure to conquer will cause a natural disaster somewhere in the world. If it is left alone, the shadow world will automatically close after a certain time limit will also cause natural disasters to encroach on the present world.

Therefore, various countries and large forces in the world are doing their best to cultivate talents who are good at conquering the film world.

"Shadow World... will appear at fixed or random entrances of this world without warning, they are fragments of world history or projections of the history of different worlds."

Thalia added another sentence.

It seems that out of her duty as a teacher, she would answer a little bit more about magic card-related questions, just a little bit.

But both of them are used to this kind of communication that can be done at any time.

"Is that so..."

Lan Qi mused to himself thoughtfully.

The books in the frontier library record that the world of shadows will gradually open at regular intervals, the number is endless, and the timelines and worldviews may also vary, some are easy and simple, and some are extremely dangerous.

After entering the film world, people will acquire an unpredictable new identity to interpret historical fragments.

As a result, any weapons, costumes, and ordinary magic items cannot be brought into the Shadow World.

Except - the magic card bound to the soul.

This is also the reason why magic cards will become the mainstream props of this era, and they will bring indispensable help when attacking the world of shadows.

Looking at it this way, there really is an inexplicable causal relationship between Shadow World and magic cards.The raw materials for magic cards need to be produced from Shadow World, but only with magic cards can it be easier for people in the world to pass through Shadow World.

I really don't know how the ancient creatures in the pioneering period played those hell dungeons without magic cards when the Shadow World first appeared...

"Arrived."

Talia's voice interrupted Lan Qi's thoughts like water droplets falling on the ice.

He turned his head and found that the scenery outside the window had slowly stopped. It was a station with a roof made of ochre-red bricks.

The towering towers at both ends make the whole building look majestic and magnificent, and the interior decoration of the station is complicated, with marble pillars, murals and stained glass windows all showing the weight of history.

Different from the border city-state of Nanwantina, this royal city named Icarite is magnificent and prosperous, but also retains a lot of historical elements.

Without much hesitation, Lan Qi took the suitcase from the luggage rack and left the arriving train with Thalia.

……

Walking through the station hall level of Ikrita Central Station, the hustle and bustle gradually faded away.

Lan Qi and Thalia came to the wide square, took a small carriage for sightseeing, and started a new journey in the city.

The afternoon sun shines on the carriage, swaying gently, with leisure and comfort.

Looking from a distance, you can see tulips and calla lilies clustered together in the royal botanical garden. The plants of various colors are like yarn and mist, full of greenery.

The sound of horseshoes echoed in the ancient cobblestone streets, and the wheels buzzed and rolled. Even if he just leaned on his seat, Lan Qi could witness the unique architectural style of Ikriette along the way: grand houses, brick-red walls, and pointed roofs. The eaves, and the exquisite ancient carvings.

The horse-drawn carriage passed by the winding canal, and with the breeze, there were ripples on the water surface, reflecting the reflection of the willow trees gently brushing the water surface.

"When we arrive at the academy later, do you want to go shopping together?"

Lan Qi turned his head, looked at Thalia beside him and asked.

"What do you say?"

Thalia seemed to be friendly to Lan Qi, but she asked back with a shameless invitation.

Since she wanted to protect Lan Qi, she actually had no choice. Even after these three months, she still had no idea who the guy who wanted to kill Lan Qi would be.

All she knew was that Lan Qi was telling the truth when he said "someone was going to kill him".

On the way, the carriage passed an ancient stone bridge. The mottled beige stone bricks witnessed the vicissitudes of time. Under the bridge, the canal water gently slapped the stone pier, making a peaceful sound of water. Above the head, a group of seagulls hovered in the sky, flying freely .

"No way, it's very important for me to go to the academy today."

Lan Qi closed his eyes and spread his hands and said.

Different from the two branches of Alchemy Academy and Magic Engineering Academy, Knight Academy and Sage Academy have actually started the first part of the assessment when they apply for the exam.

That is property testing.

If the growth rate of one's own attributes is too poor, one may not be able to participate in the formal assessment directly.

Since the enrollment goals of the Academy of Knights and the Academy of Sages are to cultivate scarce talents who can conquer the high-level shadow world, and once entering the shadow world, not only the challenger himself may be in great danger, but also the survival of his companions. And whether it can help the world from being eroded by natural disasters, so the entrance examinations of these two branches will have strict requirements on the actual combat quality of the candidates.

After passing the first part of the attribute test, the official test is the second part. The artificially simulated shadow world will be used to test the students' actual coping ability. The final assessment of the third part is a functional combat test arranged by the department.

After a detailed study of the academy, Lan Qi finally chose to change the branch school to apply for from the Alchemy Academy to the Sage Academy that specializes in legal combat.

Because of his natural attribute bias or functional compatibility, he has no possibility of becoming an object professional, so he has little hope of passing the first test of the Knight Academy.

"..."

Thalia said nothing more.

She is very clear about Lan Qi's itinerary and arrangements, and she also heard from Lan Qi about the exam format that Lan Qi will face next.

It's just that she still doesn't know what kind of fighting profession should be defined as Lan Qi, based on what she has accumulated in the demon world and many human kingdoms in the long years as a long-lived species.

Leave this headache to the Icarite Academy.

Anyway, it won't be her who should suffer.
