Chapter 1 Encounter

The next morning, after breakfast, Jing Chen came to the courtyard where Master Alpha was located early. When he walked into the yard, he happened to see Master Alpha and Master Ole sitting at the stone table in the yard. I don't know what they were talking about. Seeing Jing Chen come in, the two stopped talking.

"Xiao Chen, did you sleep well last night?" Master Alpha asked with a smile. I don't know whether Jing Chen is guilty or whether there is another deep meaning in Alpha Master's words. Jing Chen always feels that the teacher seems a little strange today.

"Well, good...it's good." Jing Chen nodded.

Master Alpha took a deep look at Jing Chen and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the Enchantment Hall. Let's get a level certification badge first." With that, he turned his head and said to Master Ou Lei, "Old man, I'll take the child first. When I come back, we will continue to talk and continue to talk..." He got up and took Jing Chen out of the yard.

Seeing that the backs of Master Alpha and Jing Chen gradually faded away, Master Ou Lei also hung a strange smile on the corners of his mouth. After a long time, Master Ou Lei shouted, "Qiong'er..."

"Teacher." Qiong'er slowly walked out from behind the rockery. This time, because Qiong'er deliberately covered her breath, Jing Chen did not find anything strange about the yard when he came, and with his own teacher and Master Ou Lei, it was not convenient for Jing Chen to release his own perception to explore the yard.

"Alas." With a sigh, Ou Lei looked at his students. After a long time, he said slowly, "Joan, it's hard for you..."

Qiong'er shook her head and said, "Let's leave Qiong'er's affairs to Qiong'er to deal with."

......

Out of the quiet courtyard, Jing Chen followed Master Alpha for about half an hour, and finally came to a magnificent building. The style of the building was very different. Jing Chen couldn't even see what kind of characteristic building it was. The towering steeple is matched with a very abstract lobby. It looks like a combination of the Gothic style of the Holy Church and the rough buildings next to the 100,000 mountains in the west. It looks very different.

"This is the general meeting of the Enchantment Hall. Although it is an independent area in this flange city, it can be regarded as a city." Rios said slowly.

Jing Chen's eyes condensed. He really couldn't imagine that the status of the enchantment hall was so unique. Within the capital of the French Empire, the French Empire was also tolerant. He couldn't help looking at the strange building a few times. As Jingchen and Master Alpha came to this strange building, Jingchen's eyes swept around. He suddenly found that the hall was unexpectedly spacious, and many enchanters in enchanters' costumes came and went in this hall.

"From here to the north, that area is the trading area, where many enchanters will trade; the south is the testing area, and we are going to go there this time; and the east is the office area of the Enchantment Hall, and non-general insiders and invited personnel are prohibited from entering." After a brief introduction, Master Alpha took Jing Chen to the south.

Walking towards the south, Master Alpha said, "There are a lot of things traded here, and sometimes there are some very rare treasures that are sold at a reserve price, so many enchanters like to come here to visit, which is called 'Taobao' in the industry." Rios smiled and said, "I remember that when I was your age, I also liked to come here to Taobao very much, but after I left here later, I seldom came here."

Hearing the strangeness in Alpha's voice, Jing Chen glanced at Master Alpha and said doubtfully, "Teacher, why did you leave France at that time?"

"Alas." Alpha sighed, meditated slightly, and said slowly, "Xiaochen, where there is wisdom and life, there are open and dark battles, and so is true of the Enchantment Hall. This time I brought you here to participate in the Enchantment Competition. Teacher, I don't want you to be surprised, so you have to be more careful."

Jing Chen frowned slightly. At this moment, he also remembered Qiong'er's words yesterday. It seems that the fight between the factions in the enchantment hall is far more fierce than he thought. I'm afraid that his teacher left the French city because of the faction's fight. Although Jing Chen thought of this, he didn't ask much. On the one hand, Jing Chen didn't want to mention the teacher's sad things in those years, and on the other hand, Jing Chen was not so curious about these things.

When Alpha took Jing Chen to the area where the assessment was registered, there was already a long queue here. It seemed that these people of the same age as Jing Chen came to participate in the Enchancist Competition. Seeing this, Alpha frowned slightly and turned to Jing Chen and said, "Xiaochen, wait here for a while. I'll see who is on duty today and see if I can accommodate it." With that, Alpha has already walked towards a corner.

Jing Chen nodded and answered. He saw the teacher's back slowly go away. He moved slightly and sat on the bench behind him. Over the years, Jing Chen has developed a habit. When he comes to a strange occasion, he will always observe everything here at the first time and know it well. He has just seen this bench, and there are many such benches in this hall. Originally, it was very normal to move backwards, but he felt a very soft and elastic feeling from his back. Jing Chen couldn't help but be shocked and shouted badly in his heart.

"Ah!"

Sure enough, just when Jing Chen was secretly shouting in his heart, a woman's exclamation came from behind him. Jing Chen hurriedly turned around and looked. He saw a woman passing behind him, just as she was hit by Jing Chen and hit her waist against the bench. Seeing such a scene, how could Jing Chen stand by and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the woman's arm.

"No!" Seeing that Jing Chen's hand stretched out to grab herself, the woman exclaimed. Unfortunately, it was too late. Jing Chen's hand crossed like lightning, and he grabbed the woman's arm in the blink of an eye.

"Bum!" With a soft sound, Jing Chen only felt a huge rebound coming from his arm. When he shook his body, he was almost shocked by this force. This was nothing. Jing Chen only felt that a strange and fierce energy came from his hand into his body. The energy was extremely powerful and violently impacted in his body. Fortunately, Jing Chen found that In time, the wild magic gushed out in an instant, and soon the strange energy was finally completely eliminated under the encirclement of the wild magic.

Jing Chen looked at the woman who looked at him with concern in shock. He saw a royal badge of the French Empire on her chest, "The people of the French royal family?" Jing Chen frowned slightly and said doubtfully.

The girl doesn't look very old, and she seems to be similar to Jing Chen, but the girl's face is a little pale and looks a little sick. Seeing Jing Chen looking at her, the girl asked anxiously, "Are you... are you all right?" After asking, the girl lowered her head with a cowardly face, like a child who made a mistake.

Jing Chen's eyebrows frowned deeper. Originally, he only thought that the girl hated herself for offending her, so she attacked herself with that strange energy, but now it seems that this pale and innocent girl is not like that kind of scheming and vicious person. Shaking his hand, which was still a little numb and painful, Jing Chen said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Hearing Jing Chen's answer, the girl couldn't help secretly glancing at Jing Chen. From her birth to now, she has touched her and has been fine. She is a person who has reached the peak of strength. For example, it is the first time to see Jing Chen's age. She can't help asking, "Are you really okay?" There was a trace of doubt in his voice.

"I'm really fine." Jing Chen deliberately shook the hand that pulled the girl in front of the girl.

Seeing that Jing Chen was really fine, the girl was relieved, but her eyes looking at Jing Chen were even more strange. The two looked at each other for a long time before the girl said, "That... I'm sorry." After saying that, the girl glanced at Jing Chen again. Immediately, without waiting for Jing Chen to talk, she turned around and ran away. Before long, this slender figure had disappeared from the flow of people and disappeared.

Looking at the direction of the girl's disappearance, Jing Chen couldn't help smiling helplessly. In a faint sense, he felt that there must be some secret about the girl, but this secret...

"Xiaochen, come with me..." Alpha's voice came, which instantly interrupted Jing Chen's thoughts, took a deep look at the direction of the girl's disappearance, turned behind Master Alpha, and walked in.
