In front of the Zhujia store, four teams of knights with complete armor and stomachs lined up in front. Their tall figures were completely covered by the tough plate armor. The chainmail-like skirts extended to below the knees, and the steel greaves were shining brightly. With their right hands, they held the knight's spear, which was three meters long, straight. The steel part nearly one meter long was pointed vertically into the air. The gun body, which was as thick as a forearm, stomped heavily on the ground. With their left hand, they held the inverted triangular shield halfway in the air with the crook of their arm. , the bright purple Star Warlock Association crest takes up most of the space. The belt around each person's waist is connected with copper buckles, and the short sword about a foot long is close to the thigh. The strong horse with its head held high is up to ten feet tall. It is covered in armor, its eyes are covered, and it is protected by an iron mesh rolled with steel balls.

A solemn one.

When Cheng Jinzhou suddenly stepped out, before he could get out of his businessman's mind, he heard a roar from the phalanx, and the horses' hooves were raised and lowered neatly, leaving a path behind him.

Four snow-white horses pulled a chariot forward slowly behind itself - except for ceremonial occasions, chariots had long ceased to appear.

The store was packed with crowds of people watching the excitement, and there was a lot of chatter for a while. A businessman from out of town asked: "This is not the year of the competition, why does it seem like I won the top prize?"

When it comes to the No. 1 Scholar, some scholars are willing to answer: "The No. 1 Scholar has no reason to use the knight's ceremonial guard. Don't underestimate these warriors. They are all armored and have helmets to protect their eyes. They must be military attaches above level 20. They are placed in the following states. The county can bring at least three to four hundred people."

People were discussing constantly everywhere, and Shen Cong below also said in a loud voice: "Are these the royal guards? And they all wear the Star Warlock crest?"

"It was the knight given by the Emperor to the Star Warlock Association." Xiang Xin corrected.

The carriage only had a short railing of about one meter. As they approached, they saw a star warlock wearing a black hood and a pure black robe. He stood up from his seat, held a long scroll in his hands and raised it, shouting: " Is Cheng Jinzhou here?"

"It's me." Cheng Jinzhou stood up from behind the door and held his hands forward. He has seen many big scenes.

The star warlock didn't see any movement, and little bits of fluorescence floated around his body. A yellow medal flew in front of Cheng Jinzhou and said: "Congratulations to star warlock Cheng Jinzhou for becoming a star warlock..."

After that, there was a long string of congratulations: "In the name of the Star God..."

Although he somewhat guessed the situation, Cheng Jinzhou was also a little happy and crazy for a while. Since coming to this world, this was the first time he had successfully completed something, and it was an extremely important thing.

Shen Cong, who was below, had long been dumbfounded and said blankly: "First-level star warlock?"

"One-star warlock." Xiang Xin corrected him: "Look at the colors on the chest plate. Red is a star-free star warlock, yellow is a first-level star warlock, and a fifth-level star warlock is purple. The symbol above is a star warlock. Level, a round is a level."

Shen Cong immediately looked at Xiang Xin's badge. When he found that it was a round ball with a red background, he immediately turned his head away.

The latter suddenly blushed and said: "I am a first-level star warlock, and I will soon have 10 contribution points."

In fact, although her progress is very fast, it still takes a long time to become a one-star warlock.

Shen wisely changed the subject and said, "But this battle is a bit big."

"Do you know how many one-star warlocks are born in the Great Xia Dynasty in a year? Only more than a hundred, fewer than the imperial examination scholars." Xiang Xin said, but in fact he was also doubting in his heart. According to regulations, the promotion of a one-star warlock requires at least a 12-horse honor guard, but it may not necessarily be a guard knight with full armor and stomach. Instead, we see more ordinary knights with half armor, let alone the current 120 knights. It is true that there are only a hundred one-star warlocks who are promoted every year, but there are also two-star and three-star warlocks who are promoted. Speaking of which, it is only when the association really pays attention to three-star warlocks. How can a normal first-level star warlock be so favored?

The congratulatory message was as long as a mantra, but most people still listened with interest. Just looking at those orderly knights could make some gentlemen talk about it for dozens of whole days.

Cheng Jinzhou also enjoys it. In his opinion, such a standard of preferential treatment will naturally bring greater status advantages.

This era is clearly a society where status is paramount.

After reciting the congratulatory message of more than 10,000 words, the knight team shouted again, turned their horses' heads in unison, and ran forward. At this time, on the pier, a large ship slowly lowered its landing gear.

A smile appeared on the rigid face of the star warlock wearing a black hood. He gently twirled his heels and floated down from the chariot. He stood in front of Cheng Jinzhou and said with a warm smile: "I have no regrets, first-class star warlock. Congratulations." Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock, you are the only one who can become a 1-star Warlock at such a young age in the past 30 years."

The star warlock Xi Wuyong with his head exposed looks elegant, very reserved like a scholar, and his words are very pleasing to the eye.

"You deserve the award." Hearing what he said, Cheng Jinzhou smiled somewhat proudly.

"According to normal specifications, there should have been 12 knights to rely on, but Warlock Jiang Huangxing specially approved and selected 120 guard knights to come." Xi Wuyong said while looking at Cheng Jinzhou's expression and smiled: "In this way Your status as a Royal Star Warlock requires the association to do such a thing, which is why Jiang Huang, a fourth-level Star Warlock, is extremely optimistic about you."

As soon as he mentioned the Royal Star Warlock, Cheng Jinzhou remembered what Xiang Xin had said before, that the relationship between this gentleman and the Warlock Liu Kuangxing was not good.

In this way, while Cheng Jinzhou was thanking him, he tried to act as normal as possible, while in his mind he was desperately trying to recall the several manuscripts he had written that earned Star Alliance points. His information was not kept confidential, and the other party presumably knew about his relationship with the Liu family. In this case, he had to make a good gesture, presumably not just because of his age. As for what the Royal Star Warlock is planning, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't figure it out for a while.

The initial results report was compiled with the help of Xiang Xin. It only related to the swing coefficient of the balance and other contents. Except for the newer formulas, it can basically be regarded as independent content. Later, the content of mechanical measurement was slightly better, but it was still at the level of the 17th century. , as for the recent geometric optics, because he deliberately reduced the content, there is even a lot of omissions...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xi, how many association contribution points do I have now?"

"18 o'clock." Xi Wuyong smiled slightly.

"It's increased by 10 in two days, oh, 12 o'clock?" Cheng Jinzhou was so surprised that he couldn't help but remember that he had also sold two association contribution points.

"Your latest three reports have caused a lot of controversy within the association. Everyone has their own opinions, so naturally they have to write something down." Xi Wuyong explained clearly in a few words.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled smugly. The tail left behind is to cause controversy among the Astromancers. It is not just the Astromancer Association that requires citing quantity as the main indicator. Many universities in previous lives have used it. Cheng Jinzhou didn't have any weighty papers to cause controversy back then, but he had never seen his mentor's approach, and now he finally had a chance to practice it.

Xi Wuyong looked at Cheng Jinzhou curiously. From the outside, he looks like an ordinary aristocratic boy. The material of his clothes is mainly silk instead of brocade, which shows that he does not come from a wealthy family. The most surprising thing is that there are no star formation fluctuations in his body. But this can also explain how a 13-year-old boy can become a one-star warlock. Focus is always the only way to success.

Unexpectedly, such an ordinary boy would cause a huge debate among dozens of star warlocks and lead to more than a dozen reports in one breath, thus becoming a star warlock in a very short period of time.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, level star warlocks are what they call star warlocks. But after all, Star Warlock is a profession that relies on intelligence for survival. All level Star Warlocks will eventually return to the path of Star Warlock, and the more advanced they are, the more so.

Therefore, if you can become a star warlock in the early stage, your later development will be even more exciting. Not to mention, the research content about this child that Warlock Jiang Huangxing had obtained, the content called calculus, was extremely close to his research direction. Because of this, Warlock Jiang Huangxing is more aware of his value and demands that this promotion be treated with extraordinary etiquette.

Thinking of his master's surprised expression, Xi Wuyong felt slightly jealous in his heart. He claimed to be the proud disciple of the Royal Star Warlock, but he had never seen such an expression on his master's face.

Xi Wuyong inadvertently straightened up slightly and looked down at the young man who was a head shorter than himself. But soon, he put away all his selfishness and continued to speak gently: "Warlock Jiang Huangxing has I have many questions to ask you. In fact, many Star Warlocks have questions. When will you be free to take a look?"

"Let's go in two days." Although Cheng Jinzhou didn't like Warlock Liu Kuangxing's personality, he knew in his heart that he had a closer relationship with Warlock Liu Kuangxing after all. If he wanted to meet Warlock Jiang Huangxing, he always had to inform Liu Kuang A sound.

Xi Wuyong said he was free, which was just a polite way of saying it. How could he have imagined that Cheng Jinzhou would use this to refuse. Originally, in his impression, if any young star warlock had the opportunity to meet the royal star warlock, he would be crazy with joy.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't know that what was leaked was the drunken words he said that day. He just kept thinking about it. In Xi Wuyong's eyes, it seemed as if he was thinking about some star warlock's problem.

The two of them lost the desire to talk for a while, and Xiang Xin came over from behind and congratulated Cheng Jinzhou with Shen Cong.

With this interruption, Xi Wuyong could only exchange the authentication stone information with Cheng Jinzhou and then leave. Instead, Xiang Xin touched his chin and said, "The Star Warlock looks familiar."

"There are only so many Star Warlocks, they all look familiar." Shen Cong smiled nonchalantly, then gave Cheng Jinzhou a hard slap and laughed, "I didn't expect you to actually become a Star Warlock."

"That can still be false." Cheng Jinzhou also laughed, he was still dizzy. He was also confused about what this one-star warlock could do.

The knight who was acting as a guard of honor left, but the onlookers on the street did not dare to come forward. Most people just continued to watch, and those who were familiar with Zhu's store heard each other's news.

Zhu Lin hurriedly ordered people to prepare a banquet, and first entertained Cheng Jinzhou and others in the inner courtyard. Even a pure businessman knows that promotion of a star warlock is a big deal, and a table doesn't cost much money, so he is very generous.

Cheng Jinzhou was semi-homeless in the capital, so he simply stayed behind and ate and drank with the others. At the same time, he continued to inquire about Azabu's affairs in detail, and put his badge in his pocket, appearing unconcerned.

Soon, several waiters staying at the concierge came to report one after another:

"Mr. Cheng, this is a congratulatory note from the Yamen of Xia Jingzhou Prefecture."

"Mr. Cheng, this is a congratulatory note from the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites."

"Mr. Cheng, this is a congratulatory note from Cheng Yunxiang, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Cheng Jinzhou finally raised his head, took the congratulatory note doubtfully, and said to himself: "Second uncle?"
