The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 467 Magic Test
"Go look it up yourself! The entire seventh chapter of volume eighty-nine of 'Valen Continent' is about the magic emblem of the Magic Empire."

Lilith curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

You only know how satisfying it is when you say those words yourself.

"..." Vasita said accusingly, "Why did you copy Moran too?!"

"It's not good to just wait for someone else to tell you the answer! As a witch, you can't rely on anyone! Relying on others is a stumbling block on the road to power."

Lilith now understood Moran's good intentions.

Knowledge is only truly yours when it is acquired and put into your own hands; Moran is not an external brain for them.

Vasita had no choice but to investigate herself.

Sylph knew that even though Vasida had just accused Lilith, she would definitely follow suit later, so she decided to just watch it herself!

When Vasita finished her investigation and came to check on Sylph, she found that Sylph was already reading the Book of Witches, and she felt a little sorry for her.

"So magic badges are like a mage's identity document! Mage robes and staves can be disguised, but magic badges are made with special techniques and cannot be disguised."

"Moran, is there anything wrong with your magic badge?"

“No problem.

Della's grandmother has an alchemist witch friend who is the chief disciple of the head of the alchemy department at the Imperial Magic Academy.

Her mentor's mentor's mentor was the main designer and inventor of the mage's badge.

She can also crack the mage's badge.

Grandma Della asked her to help write my name and past magic test records into a blank mage badge.

Once my mental energy is recorded, it belongs to me.

"That alchemist has made mage badges for many alchemists hidden among humans, and there have never been any problems," Moran said.

In any country or town within the Magic Empire, the magic department of the government hall can be used to test magic and apply for or renew mage badges.

Each test leaves a record in the mage's badge, which can be read using a special magical item.

This is how many places that need to verify a mage's identity do so.

Anyone could tell there was something wrong with a high-level mage applying for a mage badge for the first time.

However, it is quite normal for a mage who was originally an intermediate mage and became an advanced mage many years later to apply for a magic test to update their mage badge.

Similarly, it's common for an apprentice who has only learned two apprentice-level spells to take their first spell test and apply for a mage badge.

After they finished breakfast and discussed their plans for the day, they restored the tent to its original state, recreated the layout of the hostel room, and added some signs of use.

Then, he pretended to leave with his suitcase.

When they stepped out of the room, the four witches transformed into a mentor and three mage apprentices.

They weren't going to act like stingy monks in the hostel restaurant today.

Eating here is too expensive.

Moran strode straight toward the back door of the restaurant, with Vasida following closely behind.

Sylph opened the door for them.

After handing the key back to the bartender, Lilith quickly followed.

After retrieving the carriage from the shed, they drove it to the Greenwood Town government center. Gobert, alerted by the guards, chased after them, only to find the dust kicked up by the carriage wheels.

He immediately ordered two guards to give chase.

It was broad daylight, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the street, but Green Forest Town didn't have separate lanes for horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians.

Moran and her companions' carriage did not move very fast.

The guards who had been following them saw their carriage stop at the entrance of the government affairs center and hurried back to report.

When Gobert arrived at the government center and found them at the magic testing area, Moran was taking a magic test.

She used the only advanced magic she was supposed to know in her character's backstory—Advanced Poison Ivy.

A classic, high-level wood-based magic spell.

It was also the magic spell that Della's grandmother sent her, and she personally thought it was the most applicable in various scenarios.

It can both restrain and control enemies, and also deal considerable damage.

Giant wood vines, covered in sharp red thorns, were writhing wildly in the testing hall, nearly tearing through the ceiling. The tester immediately remarked:

"Lord Moran, you have passed the test! Please withdraw your magic! Any damage to the testing area during the test will be subject to compensation!"

Moran kept her persona in mind, and upon hearing this, she immediately drained the mental energy from the spell's structure.

However, the wood elemental force seemed not to have had enough fun yet, and it stretched the poison vines even larger, causing a crack to appear in the ceiling.

"I didn't do this! I withdrew my mental energy!" Moran quickly said, "It was the wood element that did it, you should ask it to compensate you!"

If there's any flaw in her disguise this time, it's only this.

With a vast amount of spiritual power and unlimited magical affinity, when casting spells using a mage's methods, elemental power seems to eagerly follow suit.

It's easy to call them in but hard to get rid of them; they always lag behind a little, and their power is slightly greater than others.

Moreover, she was already controlling herself to use only a small amount of mental energy to fill the spell's structure; any less and the intention to cast the spell would not be properly conveyed, and the elemental energy would only become more like a runaway horse.

Her spiritual power seemed to be of a higher quality than that of ordinary humans, and even a little bit of it had a great attraction to elemental power.

Moran tried various methods but failed to solve the problem, so he could only become a stubborn genius wild mage who insisted on learning all types of magic from the ancient mages.

Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph all have high elemental affinity, but their mental energy is not abnormal, and they don't have much active mental energy. When they cast spells using mage methods, they are similar to ordinary magic apprentices.

The testers were furious but dared not speak out.

There's no way around it, she's a genuine high-level mage! In the entire Duchy of Lance, only the Grand Duke can deal with her.

They did indeed withdraw their mental energy.

He could only force a smile and say, "This is damage within the acceptable range. We can report the repair through the company account. It's no problem."

He couldn't help but wonder, "These days, even such a powerful mage is becoming a rogue mage? Are mages from other countries all this unconventional?"

Gobert only caught a glimpse of the magic's tail, but with just that one glance, he decided that he must travel with this mage!
We'll take it no matter the cost!
This person is definitely talented and will surely become a marquis in the Duchy of Lance in the future, and may even have the potential to become a duke or king!

If we don't build relationships now, when will we?
How many mages with average talent have soared to great heights simply by choosing the right promising talent?

In the world of magic, talent is important, but resources are even more important. Many resources can make up for talent, but most people just don't have access to them.

Thinking of this, Gobert, whose talent was average, felt a surge of excitement and went to greet them with an eager smile.
