Chapter 85: The Princ.i.p.al Is Losing His Cool
Soon, Lugh and the old man arrived at a castle.
The castle was extremely well guarded, and rune-masters in long robes were guarding outside the door.
Seeing the old man in a hurry, the rune-master who was guarding the door greeted him respectfully and let the old man and Lugh pa.s.s freely.
Inside the castle, sunlight came in from the colorful gla.s.s on the dome, sprinkling mottled patterns on the ground.
A spiral staircase connected the three floors. In the s.p.a.cious hall, there were some human-shaped stone sculptures. Below them, there were some words engraved. It seemed that they were people from the past generations of the Rune Academy.
In the hall, there were some rune teachers who looked to be around the same age as the old man. They wore the long robes of the rune school and held books or teaching plans in their hands.
These were the teachers of the Rune Academy. This castle was the academic building of the Rune Academy.
The princ.i.p.al’s office was on the top floor of the building.
The old man led Lugh up the stairs and came to the door.
Knock Knock Knock.
The old man knocked on the door.
“Please come in!” A dignified voice came from the office.
The old man pushed the door open and walked in with Lugh.
In the office, the princ.i.p.al was wearing a blue robe and a pointed hat. He was sitting on a chair and working at his desk.
The princ.i.p.al was older than the old man. His hair and beard were all smoothed and there were no wrinkles on his face. When he saw Lugh and the old man, he looked up with a strange expression. “Soros, aren’t you in charge of testing the new students?”
The old man named Soros said, “Yes, Princ.i.p.al Frank, but there’s an even more important matter now.”
“Oh?”
Frank put down the pen in his hand and asked curiously, “What is it?”
“Him!”
Soros pointed at Lugh.
Frank’s snow-white eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes were somewhat puzzled. “This youth should be an examinee who came to take the test this time, right? What’s wrong?”
Lugh wasn’t wearing the uniform of the Rune Academy. Now that he was able to follow Soros, who was in charge of the test, to his office, it wasn’t hard to guess that this youth was one of the students who had partic.i.p.ated in the test.
Soros took a deep breath, his face still showing shock. “Princ.i.p.al, during the test, this youth’s Spirit Testing Pearl displayed a light green color at the beginning, but in the end, it changed to cyan, blue, and then purple…”
Before he could finish his words, Frank suddenly stood up and cried out in shock, “What! Purple talent?”
Soros actually said that this youth’s Spirit Testing Pearl had actually tested out a purple talent?
Frank had lived for hundreds of years and had seen so many things.
His figure had appeared in every part of the rune world. He had also met with ferocious-looking foreign creatures that had completely different shapes from them on the Heavenly Battlefields.
After experiencing life and death, Frank’s heart had become as calm as an ancient well after hundreds of years. There was no longer anything that could cause waves in his heart.
However, at this moment, his heart was like an undulating wave.
The words ‘purple talent’ were like a bomb that had directly blown him up from his chair.
For thousands of years, only one person in the rune world had a purple talent.
That was the founder of the Rune Academy, the Starry Sky Rune King.
Did this youth actually have a purple talent?
Frank’s eyes were filled with shock and doubt as he looked at Soros and Lugh.
Soros seemed to have already antic.i.p.ated Frank’s reaction. Seeing Frank’s gaze, he continued, “Yes, it is a purple talent, but…”
At this point, he did not know what to say. Those who had not seen it with their own eyes might not believe what he said.
“But what?”
Frank frowned. “Hurry up and say it, don’t keep me in suspense!”
Soros sighed and continued, “But, the Spirit Measuring Pearl quickly turned golden, emitting a dazzling golden light. Princ.i.p.al, do you know who has had a golden talent for thousands of years?”
Frank was stunned.
Golden talent?
He had lived for hundreds of years and had never heard of a golden talent.
However, Soros did not look like he was lying.
“Princ.i.p.al, if you don’t believe me, you can ask this young man to test it again.”
Soros saw Frank’s suspicious expression and suggested having Lugh take the test again. After all, he had the Spirit Testing Pearl with him.
“Alright, then test it again.” Frank nodded.
Could it be that he really had a golden talent?
“Alright.”
Lugh nodded and held the Spirit Testing Pearl in the same way as before.
Once again, the Spirit Testing Pearl emitted a golden light.
Under the golden light, Frank’s face was filled with shock and disbelief. His eyes were wide open.
Soros was a little better. After all, he had already seen it once so he was not as shocked. He did not understand why this would happen but hoped the princ.i.p.al might know.
After all, Princ.i.p.al Frank had lived for hundreds of years and had seen a lot of things. The world was not something he could compare to.
Soros estimated that there were only four or five people in the entire rune world who could answer this question. Other than the mysterious three great rune kings, there was Princ.i.p.al Frank and the sauna witch who was already proficient in divination.
“This…”
He looked at Lugh in a daze. He was so shocked that he could not speak. Frank, who had lived for hundreds of years, immediately cursed in his heart.
He really did have a golden talent.
Moreover, this formation was even more terrifying than the purple talent.
When the purple talent appeared, there would be a dense purple mist surrounding it. However, this golden talent was like a sun, directly shining tens of thousands of rays of golden light. If they were ordinary people, their eyes would probably be blinded by the light.
“Princ.i.p.al, what do you think is going on?” Soros asked with antic.i.p.ation.
Lugh also looked at Princ.i.p.al Frank curiously.
Frank was stunned.
How do I know what is going on?
I have lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I have seen such a thing happen.
