《Legacy: Lord Alba》Test
Advertisement
"The test is divided into two parts, first part going to be the bone test, all those present must be at least five years old and less than twenty years old, If any of those present do not meet these requirements, they must withdraw and not lose waste our time "With those words only a few among the thousands withdrew, they did not think they would be conducting bone test to find out the original age but they were wrong. Due to the fear of making the representatives angry, they left without expecting anything else.
Seeing that the six representatives could do nothing but shake their heads since they came to this kingdom they had their hands tied, then he continued: "The second test is gonna be the traditional talent to find your potential talent, many of you have not been through this test so this day you will all have the opportunity "
While saying that all the representatives took out a sphere the size of their palm, "These spheres are better than those found in the market, they are made especially by people of our sects who have incorporated the bone test and the talent test into one sphere to be used for the recruitment,"
then the assistants placed six pedestals in front of the representatives, the representatives placed the spheres on the pedestals, They sat in front of the pedestals and the person in charge said: "Now, form a row in front of the sects representatives according to the sect you wish to join, if the sphere does not react to you it can only mean that your bone age does not meet the previous requirements, then by depending on the brightness, the representative will say if you pass or not."
This test was not normally so superficial, but due to the short time that the representatives had and the pressure of the high commands, they had no choice but to measure their innate talent and wait for the best, only that these spheres were special, They could also measure if the bodies have an affinity towards some element, which was important for the sects, for example, if one had an affinity with fire he could have talent in alchemy! and these alchemists they are crucial for every sect.

Heeding the instructions, thousands of people formed a line in six rows, hoping to join the sect of their dreams. Not long after, the voices of the representatives were heard.
"Fail"
"Fail"
"Fail"
"Fail"
"Pass"
"Pass"
So thousands of people were evaluated by the representatives, the majority was rejected by the powers, many of them could only go with their heads down and continue with their lives, while those who were accepted, wept for joy and ran to their homes to tell the good news, After half an hour the field full of people was only at half capacity, when a lady with a child of five years surrounded by guards approached the field.
While they were approaching, the elite guards made way for them all the way to the platform.
One person recognized them "Look that's the third concubine and the second prince"
Many of them could already see that they are here for the test so they gave their place to the prince, they could only wait for there turn once again, then a voice was heard: "haha, Sister Joanna, I have not seen you for a long time"
When everyone turned to see who the voice was from, they were surprised to find that it was from the woman in the blue dress! She was the one representing the Sea Palace. how come she knew the third concubine?
"Hi, Sister Alice, I have not seen you for a long time" Saying that, she waved her hands while politely greeting the other representatives, then Alice left her post and approached the third concubine, but before she could speak the third concubine said: "Sister Alice, sorry for having not greeted you yesterday, you should know more or less how the situation in the Kingdom should be."
"Do not worry, Joanna, it's more or less you should have many things on your hands, I imagine you are here for your son to take the test, are you interested in entering the Sea Palace? " Saying that her eyesight focused on the boy who was next to the concubine. This child, despite being seen by her, did not flinch, which gave Alice a good impression.

"If it's ok sister Alice, I hope that my son can enter the Sea Palace" As far as she knew her father had several contacts within the Sea palace unlike the other sects, so it would be easier if her son came into that sect, Besides that the ninth concubine's family had connections in the James Clan so that was discarded same for the Royal Palace for obvious reasons and the martial city where the queen's family had power, that only left the Gray Clan, Iron Castle, and the Sea palace, so it was easy to choose.
"Haha, it's for a good sister then why not, but your son will have to pass the test like everyone else" When they heard those words many knew that they were just empty words, since everyone had heard that the second prince was talented, This woman just wanted to pretend to be fair but everyone including the representatives rolled their eyes but said nothing.
"Sure, it can not be otherwise" Following the woman dressed in blue, she and her son went to the pedestal of Sea Palace, the other representatives stopped their activities, They wanted to know the result of the second prince, "Nathaniel, Go and place your hand on the sphere"
"Yes, mother," With that the boy separated from his mother and went in front of the sphere, Right after touching the sphere, nothing happened, even after a few seconds still Nothing happened, This confused everyone, The second prince has no talent ? Even the woman dressed in blue felt somewhat uncomfortable, Just when she was going to speak something happened to the sphere, The sphere began to shine, it was a light blue that little by little began to shine more and more, until the sphere broke.
When the Woman in blue saw this, she took a piece of jade from her clothes and crushed it, She was shocked, she did not think this could happen here, While Joseph had his eyes wide open, because something similar happened a few days ago in the Snow Kingdom with his niece, it could only mean that the second prince has a talent similar to that of his niece and will become a Direct Disciple at the Sea Palace.
The confused child, not knowing what it was that he had just done, turned to see Alice and asked: "Did I pass the test?"
