Chapter 103: The Fateful Mage
In the silent hall, everyone held their breath as new lines appeared on the gray crystal plate in front of Morin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, if a leaf falls from the silver tree, it must also be a sound of landing.
Morin's crystal plate was already full, with a long sword, a musket, a wand, an ancient book, and a staggered nine-square square. Of these badges, the wand was originally the most prominent, with two stars carved on the handle. The other four badges were distributed around the wand, filling the gray crystal plates
There was no room to depict the new class badge, but the new dark line was in the center of the crystal plate, and as it slowly extended, it soon came across the line that made up the wand.
Originally, I thought that this newly generated line would be avoided like the side, after all, the higher the level, the stronger the strength of the class badge, the closer it would be to the center of the transformation certificate, but who knows, under the contact of the two lines, the wand actually trembled twice, and then avoided it to the side, as if the new line was some kind of monster.
The wand moved to the side, getting smaller and smaller until it was half its size, and then stopped, clinging to the edge of the crystal plate, emptying most of the area.
The new line stretched horizontally for some distance, then turned at a right angle, and began to stretch straight downward, and then came across the ancient book of the symbolic scholars, which, likewise, dodged out to the periphery, moving and shrinking, until it was far away from the central area, and then came to rest at the edge of the crystal plate.
There were no new lines on the gray crystal plate, and the single line, to the right, down, left and up, went around in a circle, and the original five badges were avoided one after another, leaving the entire area in the middle of the crystal plate empty.
And that line, after looking for a circle like this, finally formed an upright rectangle, which was not too big, and there was a lot of space around it, but the other badges were still far away, making the vertical rectangle in the middle look a little lonely.
I thought there was something new going to appear in the rectangle, but after a few moments, Merlin opened his eyes and announced that the badge had been condensed.
The boy looked at his transformation evidence suspiciously, the last condensed career badge in the center, a vertical rectangle, like a door frame, or, a blank card? What exactly is the pattern, and what kind of profession does it represent?
The students around me are also you look at me, I look at you, obviously no one knows the connotation of this pattern.
So all eyes were on Anna Koo under the silver tree, hoping that the erudite Professor Anna would tell them the name of the badge.
However, Anna Gu subconsciously shook her head, she hid the shock in her eyes, and said calmly: "From now on you are all official professionals, I hope that one day you will understand your responsibilities, and I hope that no matter where you are, you can remember your vows today." ”
"In addition, I would like to warn you that different occupations represent not only different badges, but different knowledge structures, in fact, the separation of knowledge systems is really a helpless move, if we want to understand our world, we must be fully exposed to every aspect in order to form a more concrete and real understanding. ”
"But starting from the scholar mage of Isuen in the distance, after countless years of accumulation, our knowledge system has become too large and too profound, even an old scholar mentor cannot be comprehensive, and it can even be said that his life is probably only a drop in the ocean. Therefore, we must have a choice in order to go deeper, which is also the meaning of career division. ”
This concludes the swearing-in ceremony. You can leave through the passage on my right, the Valhalla is open all day, and you can come here at any time to pay respects to the deeds of your predecessors. ”
The students stood up and rushed towards the exit of the hall.
Anna Goo then continued: "Mr. Maureen Callander, please come with me. ”
……
The oath-taking ceremony lasted more than half a morning, and the sun had already climbed high, and because he had not eaten breakfast, Maureen's stomach began to rumble after Anna Goo.
They were now moving quickly on the forest road, and the two green forests were rapidly moving backwards, pulling out patches of green shadows in their field of vision. If Morin himself, let alone walking, he wouldn't have been able to run so fast, and he didn't know what kind of magic Anna Gu used to walk so fast without bumping into other students along the way.
"Professor Anna, do you know what kind of badge I have?" asked Morin from behind.
"I don't know. Anna Gu shook her head, "But I've seen in my records that a long time ago, one of Iluvita's students had such a pattern on his transfiguration certificate. ”
"And where are we going now?" asked Morin, a little apprehensively, noticing that they were now heading up the mountain.
"Come with me to Dean Fielding. Anna Gu didn't look back, but said calmly.
……
As a headmaster who was absent from major ceremonies under the pretext of being "busy", the great singer, Lord Fielding, was obviously not so easy to meet.
Walking on the unfamiliar mountain path, following Professor Anna Koo at a rapid pace, Merlin felt that they had walked for a while, and looking at the position of the sun, it was close to noon, and at this speed, they had already crossed the buildings of the classical mage school, and the road was already covered with snow on both sides.
The road was still stretching upward, and the boy was gradually feeling a little cold, and he tried to squeeze out some magic to preserve the temperature of his body, but the last class badge had just been condensed, and his magic power was exhausted, including the "magic puddle".
Maureen gritted his teeth, trying to keep up with Anna Goo.
When turning a mountain cliff, the young man finally looked at the academy area, and also saw the buildings of the classical mage school on the snow peak, according to the height, those snow peaks were less than half the height of the cliff where Mo Lin was at this time, but no matter how he recalled and thought about it, he couldn't think of the location of this mountain peak.
Such a high mountain, since you can see the college area, you must be able to see it when you are in the college area, but Morin searched all his memories, and he couldn't remember when this majestic peak appeared in his memory. In his memory, this area should have been a patch of canine peaks, the height should be the same as the snow peak where the mage school is located, and although it was steep and rugged, it was by no means so high.
Thinking back to the way he came, Morin found that he couldn't remember the slightest, and he knew that it might be the effect of the magic enchantment that deliberately hid this mountain. It doesn't matter if he doesn't show up in normal times, the office is still hidden, and I don't know how Dean Fielding became the dean of this great magic academy.
Could it be that the teachers here are like Professor Wang Deer, who have been fooled......
It was getting colder and colder, and the air was a little thinner, and Merlin began to gasp for breath, which also caused him to lose his strength even more quickly. After reaching a certain altitude, further up, the elements will quickly become thinner, and the temperature will also drop rapidly, and Morin faintly feels that the altitude he is at now has exceeded the altitude of ordinary airship flight.
In a daze, he stumbled under his feet and was about to fall to the cliff by the side of the mountain road.
He was then held back by Anna Guthorn and pulled back up the trail.
Looking back at the young man's pale face, Anna Gu was stunned for a moment, remembering that he couldn't connect to the sea of magic, and hurriedly released his magic power to help the young man drive away the cold.
"Did you run out of mana when you just condensed the Class Badge?" asked Anna Goo.
Maureen nodded.
He was also shocked into a cold sweat at this time, because the temperature was too low, and his perception of his body was also hindered, but he didn't realize that he was on the verge of collapse, if he was the only one walking alone, I am afraid that he would sleep here forever unconsciously.
"For professionals, running out of mana is an extremely dangerous thing, and you must avoid this situation in the future, and set aside emergency magic at all times. Anna Goo said.
Maureen nodded again.
If it weren't for the exhaustion of his mana, he wouldn't have lost his body temperature so quickly, and secretly took it as a warning.
With the help of Anna Goo's magic, Maureen's body quickly warmed up and followed her steps again.
I don't know how long I walked, the snow on both sides of the stone steps of the mountain road had disappeared, even the wind had stopped, and the ground below was gray and could no longer be seen, and Mo Lin finally saw the house at the end of the mountain road.
It was a very ordinary white stone house, with a wooden door, a black tiled roof, and a chimney. In front of the door was a small clearing paved with pebbles, and in the middle of the clearing was a silver tree, which was particularly vibrant in the dead silence of the rocks.
Anna Goo led the boy to the door and knocked lightly.
Knock knock.
"Please come in. An old man's voice came from behind the door.
The wooden door opened inward, and Anna Goo stepped aside and motioned for the boy to enter alone.
Maureen looked at Professor Anna, took a deep breath, and walked into the house.
The wooden door closed behind him.
It was unexpectedly warm in the room.
It was a very ordinary study, there was a very ordinary fireplace on the right hand side of the room, and a very ordinary charcoal fire was burning in it, and in the middle of the room was a very ordinary round wooden table of old color, on the table was a stack of yellowed manuscripts that looked very ordinary, and behind the table sat a very ordinary old man with a white beard.
Like all old men, his eyes were heavily baggy, and his face was full of traces of time, but his deep blue eyes always shone with wisdom. He smoked a long, curved pipe, half-leaned back in a soft-cornered chair, and read a manuscript with a leisurely expression.
The mouth takes two puffs from time to time, and then expertly highlights the gray-white smoke rings nested on top of each other.
Seeing that the old man didn't notice him, Morin said very nervously, "Dean Fielding?"
Not to mention anything else, the person who can become the dean of Iluvita must be a very powerful magician, and he can also see one or two from the long white beard, no wonder Wang Deer, who has a goatee, will say that he can't beat Dean Fielding. And whether it is in the legends or in the stories I have read, the more powerful the magician's temper is often the more strange, who knows if he will be angry if he bothered so rashly.
In case he gets annoyed and turns himself into a frog and throws it outside, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will become a frozen frog, imagining the deeds of Dean Fielding, the boy can't help but worry about himself.
The old man raised his head, squinted at Maureen, and said with a kind smile, "Mr. Maureen Calland, is there anything you have to do with me?"
I don't know how he recognized Morin as a dean who had never been involved in the affairs of the Faculty of Science.
"Professor Anna brought me here," Morin stumbled "He said you might know the symbol of this career badge." ”
"A rare division of professions that even Professor Anna doesn't know?" Fielding was a little interested: "Show me, it may not be very modest to say so, but for those ancient professions, there is no one on this continent who knows better than me." ”
As soon as Merlin's mind moved, he was about to summon the manifestation evidence that had turned into a rune mark in his hand, but there was no response.
The young man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he found that there was no trace of magic power in his body, and he couldn't even summon the certificate of transfiguration.
"Is the magic running out?" Fielding smiled, and he spat out a smoke ring at the boy, the gray-white smoke ring grew larger and larger until it encircled the boy's body, and at the same time, Merlin found that a lot of magic suddenly surged through his body.
Good...... It's so powerful, it can directly send magic power into other people's bodies, this ability is beyond the cognition of the teenager, and even goes against some common sense that the teenager understands.
"Don't be in a daze, young man, the years to come will be long, and it's not too late for you to live to my age. Fielding said, his voice old but still discerning a rich undertone.
"Summon your Proof of Transfiguration for me to see. ”
Morin tried again, successfully summoning the proof of his transformation.
I saw that on the gray crystal plate, five small badges surrounded the edge of the crystal plate, and in the center of a large blank area in the middle, a small vertical rectangle stayed there quietly, not moving.
Simple patterns, simple markings.
Fielding's deep gaze flickered for a moment, and he buckled his pipe, slowly exhaling a few smoke rings.
He stared at the door-like rectangle in the center of the Merlin crystal plate, and said slowly:
The profession symbolized by this badge is called a fatalistic mage in the records. ”
