Chapter Twenty-Eight: Goldbach's Magic Lock
Magicians tend to be precise, punctual and detail-oriented, so when the appointed time comes, a group of adult mages dressed in preppy magic robes walk up to everyone.
The leader was a middle-aged mage with a square face, although a few strands of white hair could be faintly seen on the meticulously combed hair, but a pair of deep blue eyes gave people the feeling of being extraordinarily energetic, his thin lips pursed, looking a little strict, and then began to speak in a solemn tone: "Hello everyone, everyone, happy to come to the Ceylon School of Magic." ”
Very ordinary opening line, decent, completely unexpected by everyone.
But what he said next was beyond everyone's expectations.
"I'm the vice-chancellor of this academy, and as you know, you're going to face a quiz, an entrance test. ”
All the apprentices listened quietly.
"However, I would like to warn everyone here that this test may be different from what you thought before. ”
At this point, Reiter paused slightly, and he looked at the apprentices in the audience with surprised expressions at his words.
"What's the difference? Quite simply, those who did not pass the entrance test will be dissuaded, and of course please rest assured that our responsible teachers will be sent home safely, just as you were when you came safely. ”
If Vice Principal Leiter's previous remark only made the freshman apprentices feel uneasy, then his current sentence really caused an uproar among the freshman apprentices.
"What, you're going to send us back?"
Teacher Tang Rui obviously told me that this was just an entrance test for class placement, and the vice principal said that it must be those who went through the back door, don't worry. ”
"No, no, I can't go back! I promised my mother that I would be a great mage. ”
"It's fake, it's just a joke the vice-principal made with everyone. ”
Many freshmen showed panicked expressions, such a news was too shocking for them, and they couldn't accept it for a while.
"Headmaster, are you joking with us? Or maybe most people can actually pass this entrance test. A bold freshman asked Rett directly.
Quite a few people quickly quieted down, and they waited for Leiter's reply.
Then Reiter let them down again.
"Nope. Vice Principal Reitt shook his head and said, "It's a pity that most of them won't stay." ”
"Oh my God, how can this be!"
"I could have walked so far to get here, and I didn't expect it to be such a result. ”
The freshmen complained loudly, and the scene was suddenly chaotic and a little uncontrollable.
Seeing such a scene, Leiter cleared his throat unhurriedly, and then pronounced a word.
The word he was chanting was actually a spell, and the effect was so good that all the apprentices below instantly became dumb, desperately trying to open and close their mouths but not making the slightest sound.
Three-ring spell: Quiet Force Field.
"Okay, now you can listen to me go on, as I just said, this entrance test will brush off most of the people and send them home, of course, if you really don't want to go home, we can also recommend you to other schools, if they are willing to accept it. Please don't be surprised and don't complain about your admissions teachers, because they don't know about the changes in this entrance test, and even I can tell you that even I didn't know a few days ago that this entrance test in Ceylon would turn out to be like this. ”
Although the apprentices below were silent, they still used their facial expressions to express their disbelief and disagreement.
"I won't tell you too much about the specific things for some reason, but I can tell you that from this year onwards, from this year, this is the admission rules of our Ceylon Academy of Magic, we will use the entrance test to eliminate the vast majority of apprentices, at least nine out of ten people, and the opposite change is that the apprentices who pass the entrance test will be trained more vigorously than before, and the resource teachers and so on are ten times that of the previous apprentices. ”
"Hearing this, you will definitely think of a word - elite education, yes, it is elite education, from this year, from this session, this is the education policy of our Ceylon Academy of Magic, and you are the first batch of practitioners, okay, that's all I have to say, and now Mr. Sim will tell you about the specific test content of this entrance exam. ”
After Reiter's spell ended, all the apprentices found themselves able to make their voices again, but instead of shouting at it, they looked in awe at the man who had just made them lose their voice.
Because this time they really felt the power of magic.
Under the nervous gaze of the apprentices, a middle-aged man with a big beard in a red robe stepped onto the stage.
"Hi guys, I'm Sim. ”
He glanced at the apprentices in the front row with his eyes, and found that most of them looked extremely nervous, and deliberately slowed down his speech and said: "You don't have to be nervous, I don't know what a long speech is, my previous essays have always been submitted in advance." ”
Some let out a low laugh, but most of them didn't.
After all, LTECH's words before were too impactful.
"What His Excellency Reiter said before sounded terrible, but it wasn't that scary. Sim said in a very soothing tone: "This freshman assessment is mainly composed of two parts, the first part is actually very interesting, I believe most people have played it, that is, Goldbach's magic lock." ”
"Huh?"
"Goldbach's magic lock?"
"I've played that. ”
"I've played it too. ”
"Please, anyone who is even slightly interested in magic has probably played with this thing, so what's there to be proud of. ”
Immediately, there was a low murmur in the crowd.
This rather novel assessment content is not only unexpected by everyone, but also reasonable.
Goldbach is a legendary mage who has made a name for himself not only for his contributions to magic, but also for his invention of the magic lock.
Goldbach Magic Lock.
It's a creative work, it's a magic lock made up of thirty-two components, and it's said that there are three million two hundred and twenty-three thousand one hundred and fifty-one variations, and each one is random, making every attempt to crack it a new challenge.
Cracking Goldbach's magic lock is actually not too difficult, first you need excellent observation and spatial thinking ability to see in what order and how the lock should be broken, and then use accurate magic control to unlock the lock by itself.
Because it can also exercise the magician's thinking ability, imagination, memory, magic control, concentration and other important qualities, so Goldbach Magic Lock was immediately loved by the majority of magicians as soon as it was introduced.
From new apprentices who have just entered the magic path, to professors at magic academies and high-level leaders of magical institutions, many people like to take out Goldbach's magic locks in their spare time.
