Vol 2 Chapter 248: Mei Linxun

One of the most famous awards in the wizarding world is the Merlin Medal.
The issuance of the first Merlin Medal can be traced back to the twelfth century. The Great Wizarding Council imprinted the legendary guardian spell on the six-pointed star in order to commend the heroes for their brave behavior in expelling the plague messenger during the confrontation with the "God's Whip" Amulet to increase the odds of winning the heroes.
With the end of the war, the Great Wizard’s Conference did not stop issuing such amulets, but further strengthened this reward mechanism-established in the name of the highest-level wizard who died in the war and the famous legendary Merlin in the Middle Ages. The Merlin Medal was awarded to recognize those who have made great contributions to the advancement and improvement of magical skills and to the peace and development of the wizarding world.
At the beginning of its establishment, there were many harsh restrictions on the recipients of this medal.
For example, the age of the wizard must be over 60 years old, a native of the earth, no major negative history, etc.; a wizard who has been awarded for improving magic skills must also pass the deliberations of the Great Wizards Conference and obtain more than two-thirds of the seats. Support and keep the corresponding magic skills in the archives of the Great Wizard Council.
Correspondingly, the original version of the Merlin Medal does not distinguish between levels, and is uniformly made of gold and mithril.
This old-fashioned medal is round, with a six-pointed star embedded in fine gems on the chassis, and a blooming phoenix in the center, which looks like a nirvana phoenix, which is gorgeous and solemn.
The guardian magic imprinted on each medal is different, and there is even a ‘big blessing technique’ that brings back to life or a ‘big summoning technique’ that binds powerful spirits.
It can be said that in the wizarding world from the 14th to the 19th centuries, a Merlin Medal is a reliable guarantee for a wizard to gain a foothold in the upper class.
With the development of the times, especially since the rise of the new wizarding power represented by the dimension faction, a large number of inconspicuous but important magic has been improved by modern wizards.
Sometimes there are more than a dozen major magical advancements a year.
At this time, the old-fashioned Merlin Medal, which was scarce in quantity and cumbersome in process, seemed to be out of keeping with the development of the times.
So the Wizards League improved this commendation system after many deliberations.
For example, from the original single medal to two levels and four levels; the first level is the Merlin medal, which continues the cumbersome and harsh application requirements of the old medals, and often no one can meet the application requirements for four to five years; and the first level is the small Merlin Medal, this level is subdivided into Merlin Gem Medal, Merlin Secret Silver Medal, Merlin Brass Medal. There is no big difference in the appearance of the medal, but there are some differences in the specifications.
For another example, the scope of awards has been greatly expanded. For example, the Merlin Medal no longer sets strict requirements on the age and birthplace of the wizard who receives the award; the organization that awards the medal is not limited to the Great Wizard Conference, but can be issued by different organizations according to the level of the medal; and the guardian magic imprinted on the medal is also The curse from the legendary level gradually fell to the level of the great wizard.
To some extent, these changes have reduced the gold content of the Merlin Medal.
However, due to the influence of ancient traditions, even in this era when Merlin has passed away for thousands of years, many old-school wizard families still regard the Merlin Medal as a life goal and pursuit.
Zheng Qing received a Merlin Medal.
To be precise, it is a Merlin Medal and Merlin Brass Medal.
But young public-sponsored students would rather not get this medal if the price is some element called ‘conscience’.
The opening ceremony is drawing to a close.
The professor of ceremonies just broke the good news and pushed the atmosphere of the whole ceremony.
Whether it’s the freshmen behind the porch, the senior students on the second and third floors, or even the teaching assistants, lecturers, and even professors on the terrace, everyone is not stingy with their enthusiasm and excitement, and praises the first with cheers. The university's new Merlin Medal winner.
"...The youngest recipient of the Merlin Medal in twenty years... He will be the pride of Jiuyou Academy, the pride of the first university, and the pride of the wizarding world..."
The professor of ceremonies was still in the center of the hall, speaking in an impassioned tone of those colorful commendations.
Behind the porch, the young freshmen of Jiuyou College had long forgotten the horror of the picket, and they became chaotic.
"I see!" Fatty Xin turned around in a fuss and shouted loudly, "Lao Yao left you alone after the class meeting yesterday. Is it because of this!"
"Your name will be engraved into the shadow wall!" Nicholas squeezed through the crowd, his face flushed with excitement: "Maybe your profile will appear in next year's freshman manual "Into the First University"..."
"Oh my god... how many credits do you have to add!" Duan Xiaojian looked at him with envy, and guessed: "Maybe you can go straight to the sophomore year without taking the final exam."
Nicholas' face darkened slightly and said nothing.
It's just that his mood is obviously lowered.
Zheng Qing did not notice these details.
In fact, since the professor of ceremonies began to publicize his ‘great achievements’, he kept his head down and looked at his toes intently.
fake.
all fake.
He didn't ruin a street with a thunder curse, nor did he bravely rush to the raging wild monster. Even the poor wild monster was nothing but a fat man.
At that time, he was just a pure ‘Xiao Bai’ who had just come into contact with the wizarding society, and could not cast a spell except for a few ghost symbols.
Facing the rampaging wild demon, he shrank in the magic shield that Thomas held up; facing the thunder curse cast by Thomas, he covered his ears and trembled all over; even the wild demon who was finally hypnotized by his talisman was pure It was a coincidence-at the time, he just wanted to retrieve his own meditation talisman that was worth recycling.
But can he stand up and deny all this?
What Old Yao said to him after the class meeting yesterday came to his ears again:
"...At the awards ceremony tomorrow, maybe you will hear a story that is different from your own memory..."
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the school publicity department has done a little work..."
"After all, we have to take into account the needs of Four Seasons Square, the Wizarding Council, and the school's internal needs..."
"Don't care about the details... Just go back to the evening and prepare your acceptance speech..."
"...These are all okay."
Zheng Qing was rolling these words over and over in his mind, and he was a little messy~EbookFREE.me~ no problem.
is that OK!
is that OK……
"What should I do if there is a problem," he murmured, muttering to himself.
Lifting his head, there is a group of excited, flushing faces in front of him.
Even the smile in that dream looked at him in surprise.
The explanation surging to the throat disappeared without a trace for some reason.
What else can he say?
"... Next, let us invite the Director of the Investigation Bureau of the Wizarding League, a member of the Security Committee of the Wizarding Council, and the former outstanding student of the First University, Robert Noord, to present awards to this brave freshman!"
The hoarse cry of the emcee professor won even more gorgeous applause.
The trumpet flowers around the hall were playing lively music. The sirens were playing flutes and holding the harp, responding to the side; colorful elves floated in mid-air, forming a brilliant rainbow, connecting The freshman station and the center of the hall of Jiuyou College
Even the picket responsible for discipline gave up maintaining order on the scene and joined the sea of ​​joy with others.
Zheng Qing hesitated for a few seconds before staggering towards the center of the hall under the push of his classmates.
Be silent, be silent, just walk to the podium in silence, and take over the crimson honor and the heavy medal.
Until the professor of ceremonies announced the end of the opening ceremony, Zheng Qing felt a sense of turmoil.
He doesn't even remember what he said on the podium a few minutes ago.
The certificate in his hand and the medal in his arms are like two hot red soldering irons, making him feel distressed.
"Hurry up and show us..." Fatty Xin yelled from the side.
Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Qing quickly stuffed two symbols of honor into his arms.
Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
