In the Golden Sun King City, it was already the seventh day since the Truth Enrollment Airship had arrived in the sky. Early that morning, many residents gathered at the city gates with their children, waiting for the test.
When the Flying Ship first appeared amidst thunderous roars, the residents were filled with fear. However, as the days passed, their anxiety began to shift. The reason for this change was quite simple: the noble families within the inner city continuously urged their eligible children to participate in the test and strive for an education. They also emphasized the importance of showing respect to the Magic Teachers and advised their children to stay away from trouble in the Truth School, focusing solely on their studies.
These nobles were concerned that if their children got into trouble far from home, they would be unable to help them. Thus, they sought to educate their children to learn without causing a ruckus. Nobles, after all, could not do without their servants. The servants not only attended to them but were also adept at picking up on any information that these nobles might inadvertently reveal.
Seeing how much importance the Noble Lords placed on this matter, how could they not take it seriously? Once back home, they encouraged their children to study as well. This led to a ripple effect—one person would tell ten, and ten would tell a hundred.
By that day, the area outside the king's city walls was packed to capacity. Even though the nobles sent private soldiers to clear a large space, it was still teeming with people.
"They're coming down! They really landed!"
"Look, look!"
Before long, everyone was shouting as if witnessing a rare spectacle, unwilling to tear their eyes away. The Flying Ship descended slowly from the sky, resembling autumn leaves drifting down; despite its size, it floated down so lightly.
This sight only intensified the nobles' desire to master magic. They reiterated that their children must pay close attention in school and absolutely avoid any trouble.
As the Flying Ship touched down, its wooden base magically opened up to reveal a large entrance. At the same time, an amplification spell was activated to explain that the Admissions Test involved students touching a testing crystal. As long as they were of appropriate age and triggered the Rang Ming, they could board the ship.
This simple rule immediately delighted the commoners while causing frowns among the nobles. The former were pleased by how straightforward the rules were; at least they didn’t have to worry about their children being treated unfairly. The latter, however, simply did not want to share learning spaces with commoners, believing it would lower their own status.
There was no choice; for the sake of learning magic, even if noble children were reluctant in their hearts, they had no option but to step forward and accept the test.
Fifty wizards conducted the tests with high efficiency. When students triggered Rang Ming, cheers erupted among them; those who failed to comply or tried to cause a scene were swiftly ejected by the wizards.
This was personally arranged by Xu Lie, and they could not afford to waste time just because the students or parents were causing a commotion. They would not be enrolling only in the Golden Sun Kingdom; there were other kingdoms to attend to as well. This time out was merely a demonstration by Xu Lie, and the school would subsequently dispatch more large Flying Ships for quicker enrollment.
As for Xu Lie himself, he sought out King Jinri and the various ministers. As the kingdom's senior management, they were naturally reluctant to mingle with commoners, preferring to stand atop the high city walls and overlook everything. Little did they know that while they looked down on others, they too were being observed by Xu Lie.
It wasn't until Xu Lie gradually lowered his altitude and slowly descended onto the city wall that they finally reacted. Fortunately, there were no low-witted nobles shouting humorous phrases about assassins and needing protection; everyone present was astute enough to recognize the disparity between them.
If the mages truly intended to assassinate the king or any minister, wouldn’t it be more efficient to strike them down with a lightning bolt seven days prior? Why bother with an aerial attack? Thus, both the king and the ministers showed greater respect and performed a courtly gesture.
