Hearing Orlando's answer, even Walker and Monet couldn't help but laugh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Even if they didn't know the specifics of Orlando, they all guessed from his inscriptionist rank and such a conceited answer. It's not like they've never seen such students, but most of them happen to people who have become famous in old age, and it's the first time I've seen a kid like Orlando.

After such a tidbit, it was time for the selection of jewelers, and the brown-haired old man, who had always been very serious, stood up and looked like a very serious jeweler. There are only three materials selected by the jeweler, a piece of pure gold, a piece of silicon, a bottle of mercury and a small pile of finely broken diamonds.

The brown-haired old man said directly, "I guess you can already guess the content of the assessment when you see the materials, and evenly set the ten diamonds into that piece of pure gold." Note that it should be absolutely uniform within the spatial range, without a slight deviation. Do you understand? Let's get started, you have twenty minutes. ”

Even though they knew the seriousness of this selection, the students below still whispered after hearing the question.

"Uniform inlay, even inlay, isn't this the way to make space equipment? ”

"This is the work of a setter, even a master-level setter will not have a success rate of more than 5% in manufacturing space equipment, how can we jewelers succeed?"

"Fortunately, this piece of pure gold is relatively large, and it is simpler than the production of the space ring, but this is not something that our students can make......"

"This is an ordinary diamond, it doesn't have spatial attributes, there is no interference from spatial fluctuations, maybe the setting process can be a little easier. ”

"What are you talking about? Even ordinary diamonds are not something you can control, how strong is your mental power? Can you control the diamonds to be evenly arranged. ”

Even if it is a whisper, the voices of many people converge into a noisy discussion. And the brown-haired old man just watched quietly, and did not say anything to warn. At this moment, a flame rose in the center of the jeweler's area, and the eyes of the entire classroom were drawn to it. I saw that it was a tall and thin male student, who was controlling the flames in his hand with a solemn expression, while the other hand was holding four materials at the same time.

"It's Binks, the only high-level alchemist in our academy, and it looks like he's going to start trying!"

"It's amazing, it's actually a victory to dare to try in the face of this kind of topic. ”

"Yes, although it is impossible to succeed, it is not so ugly to fail in this kind of attempt, and it requires a high degree of skill. ”

Undisturbed by the words of the others, Binks went straight to his own jewelry setting. He first melted the Adamantite gold, the finest magical metal and the most suitable metal for diamonds, on a flame. When it turns into a mass of lava-like fluid, it is constantly manipulated with earth-based magic to change the shape of the mass. Then, a diamond on the table jumped up and burrowed into the mass of liquid metal like a swallow returning to its nest. Binks closed his eyes tightly and guided the diamond to the calculated position with mental power, and when the position finally stabilized, the second diamond was manipulated into the metal.

The surrounding students, either believing that they could not complete it and had given up, or wanted to see Binks' operation first to gain experience, were all staring at Binks' movements. But Binks didn't know this, and all his mental power was used to complete the mosaic work in his hands. Although the diamond is small but not light, it is very difficult to control it with mental power. The sweat on Binks' forehead grew and gradually wore out, and when the eighth diamond merged, he missed, and the fluid of metal could no longer control its shape, and it flew around. Without the scorching of fire-based magic, the splashed droplets had become balls of pure gold before they hit the ground, and they were very messy when they rolled on the ground.

Binks slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "I failed, my mental strength is not enough to control the setting of ten jewels in a row. ”

It seems that Binks also knew that he was unlikely to succeed, but tried anyway. At this moment, another flame ignited, and at the same time, a voice rang out, "To complete this problem, if you want to use your spiritual power to control the direction, I'm afraid you need a powerful spiritual power like a dragon to do it, and it is impossible with the ability of a human jeweler." ”

Following the prestige, the first thing that catches your eye is a bright red cloud of red, like a burning flame. It was a handsome young male mage with red hair that was an eye-catcher wherever he went. He wore a modified magic robe, with the hem and cuffs cut off the excess, obviously remade to facilitate the battle, such a modification did not look funny, but added a bit of sophistication. He wore the badge of a magician on his chest, and such a level was also rare in the academy, and sure enough, all the students around him talked about it.

"Kostner, it's him!"

"Does he want to try it too? Maybe it might work. ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult, his fame is all played in the Arcane Hall training ground, and as for the level of alchemy, there is still a gap compared to Binks. ”

"Even if he himself said he couldn't control it? ”

"I don't have an advantage in my mental strength, so I can only try it in other ways. He still had time to talk to other students, and frankly admitted his shortcomings in mental strength. But his movements in his hands were very calm, and he manipulated the flames unhurriedly, but instead of putting the Adamantite in first, he fused together with Mithril and mercury to form a new suspension. Then he put the adamantite gold in as well, "It seems that this topic is a test of the jeweler's manipulation of fire and earth magic, and - imagination. If you want to set diamonds according to the orientation of the space ring, you need to use a tricky method. ”

With a flick of Costner's left hand, several spheres of mythril and mercury that had been burned into balls were split into ten masses of equal size, and then entered the pure gold fluid.

"When Mithril and mercury alloys are together, the melting point rises, but the density is uniform. This makes it possible to create ten evenly spaced spaces in the gold, which can then be replaced with diamonds on the principle of similarity compatibility and repulsion of differences. Costner grabbed the diamond and threw it into the Adamantite Fluid, maintaining the temperature of the magic flame, and in a short time the ten balls of Mithril alloy were actually replaced, and fell to the ground one by one.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Costner smiled and gradually lowered the temperature of the flames, the metal in his hand still remained spherical under the control of the earth-based magic, but small holes appeared on the surface due to the cooling. When it is completely cooled and formed, the metal has become a hornet's nest-like object, and through the tiny holes around it, you can see the ten diamonds inside, evenly arranged inside, like a miniature starry sky.

It wasn't until Kostner's mosaic was completed that the trainees in the other tessellator area woke up from a dream, and I don't know who shouted, "It's only been ten minutes now!"

The trainees immediately realized that they had seen all the steps Kostner had taken, that is, they could imitate them! The trainees immediately became scrambling, as if the selection had just begun. However, when they operated on their own, they failed one after another, and gradually they discovered that in order to emulate Kostner's approach, they needed to have extremely strong talents in both fire and earth, coupled with precision in control!

Ten minutes passed quickly, and no other students were able to succeed, and the students realized that Kostner's so-called tricky method was not available to everyone. In fact, the method of using shortcuts for one's own strengths is not to take shortcuts, but to learn from strengths. What's more, as Costner says, some imagination is needed.

At some point, the brown-haired old man walked up to Costner and handed him a badge, "It's yours." ”

Costner hesitated for a moment before taking the badge, "I'm not interested in the Alchemy Guild, so I'm definitely not going to go." But the three metals used to make this badge are quite valuable, and since I don't have to sign a contract, I'll accept this badge for the time being. ”

When the brown-haired old man heard this, his old face changed for a while, it had always been others who begged to enter the Alchemy Guild, but he had never heard of anyone who had the opportunity to enter the guild but did not come. So he couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you come to participate in the selection?"

"There's no rule that you have to go to the Alchemy Guild to participate, so I'm here, and it's good to come and see the excitement. Costner had a natural face, and the brown-haired old man was very angry.

Monet sat in front of him, also speechless for a while, thinking about how he could pass the assessment by a thorn like Costner, and it was just enough to pass, but he was ashamed to say that he would not go to the Alchemy Guild. Monet squinted at Walker next to him, and saw that he had no expression, so he relieved himself.

"So be it, Blue. Unlike the Church of the Gods, our Alchemy Guild is a relatively free organization, and there is indeed no provision for signing a contract, so it doesn't matter who joins or not. Walker said as he stood up, "Alchemy is all-encompassing, and in fact these six support classes are not the only ones. You should make use of your own strengths and delve further into the mysteries of alchemy. ”

Eventually, Walker read the names of the students who had passed the selection and announced that the selection was over.

Except for the last jeweler, Costner, who was more famous, the students who passed the selection for several other professions, including Orlando, were unknown and were not known to the students until this time. The skinny apothecary male student is called Andy, the female enchanterer student that Darko saw before the selection is called Amy, the female herbalist student who obtained the two-leaf badge with Darko is called Kate, and the male student of the disintegrator who uses the four-phase vibration scanning method is called Baie.

The students walked out of the classroom in groups while discussing several characters in the assessment. Darko was about to go to Orlando, but found George next to him, but George's eyes were smiling in the direction of Costner, "Everyone is on a different path, not only talent, but also experience, inheritance, and personality actually determine everyone's chosen career." The same is true for the main position, and the same is true for the deputy position, have you thought about your own deputy position?"

Darko was stunned, it turned out that George actually knew that he was not a herbalist, but had obtained a badge by accident. In fact, Darko has never planned a future for himself, and he has always been Phyllis since he came into the world. Regarding the auxiliary profession, Phyllis also suggested to Darko that the deputy position should be selected singlely. But Dakko never thought about how to choose, including this selection competition, and he also held the mentality of watching the excitement throughout the whole process, and did not think about this problem. So Dakko froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

George only asked in passing when he left, not expecting Darko to answer him immediately, so he quickly said goodbye to Darko and walked out of the classroom with the rest of the Alchemy Guild.

Darko stood still, but George's words echoed in his heart for a long time. What path you choose determines what kind of career you should choose. What kind of path am I taking?
