"I declare, the final victor, Maureen Calland!"
The old man's voice was so slow and clear, low but sure, that everyone could hear it clearly, and the final victor was actually the boy who smelled the little white flowers, the boy from a small remote country, the boy who drew a mess of hornet's nests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then there was silence, a silence like a blackened dead leaf.
Everyone present, including the young man in the purple robe and Marcus on the stage, looked at the old man in stunned eyes, wondering if the old man had said the wrong name.
The first voice was a childish female voice from a girl who was held in her mother's arms: "Mom, that old man with the scary machine said that the brother who drew a hornet's nest won?"
The little girl's voice was so crisp and lovely, and it instantly spread all over the quiet square.
Immediately afterwards, it was no one else, but Marcas: "Impossible!"
His expression of victory seemed to remain on his face, mixed with shock and panic, and people couldn't help but admire that still childish face could be so complex.
I saw that he took a few deep breaths as if he was deprived of oxygen, tried to control his impulses, and asked in a somewhat trembling Gesuok aristocratic tone: "You say, who is the final victor?"
The old man fiddled with the machinery on his eyes, and the machinery that had covered his right eye turned to the side again, looked at the boy who was not yet acceptable, and said, "I'm sorry, kid, your work is indeed very good, and you also have a very good talent in magic equipment, but in this competition alone, I think the winner should be the boy next to you." ”
As the old man confirmed again, the crowd of onlookers finally exploded, and everyone began to exclaim in disbelief, so that no one could hear what they were shouting for a moment.
Even many people began to shout at the old man, and in their opinion, such an obvious mistake could only be attributed to favoritism, or the old man was really confused. Of course, there are still some people who know that the old man is a research mentor in the Misul magic equipment line, waiting for the old man to give his explanation.
To tell the truth, even Morin himself only gave three or four points of hope, because the book that recorded this illustration gave this thing a very high rating, especially in terms of complexity. And now that he had actually won, the boy already had a wicked smile on his face, and began to imagine how to give the Demon Walker generation to Aeno in front of Marcas's guy.
After waiting for the noise at the scene to subside a little, the old man explained: "Marcas's diagram, this mechanical hammer, as the most basic magic instrument tool, can be said to be a sparrow, although it is small, it has all five organs, and it already contains the structure of most magic instruments. And Marcus not only used the standard three-point view, but also dissected the key parts, and said in detail that the norms are in place, which has exceeded the apprenticeship standard, which is very rare. ”
The old man's evaluation aroused the approval of the people in the audience, and many people felt that the old man's evaluation was slightly lower. Marcas's face improved slightly, and he continued to wait for the old man's explanation.
The old man wearing the strange machine slowed down, pointed to Mo Lin's diagram, and said: "And this diagram represents an ancient magic transformation core," a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and continued: "Even fifteen hundred years ago, this magic transformation core was the most primitive one, with low efficiency and low fault tolerance, but it was indeed the core of the foundation. ”
As soon as the words "Magic Transformation Core" came out, the audience was boiling again. There are people who don't believe in it, people who suddenly realize it are amazed, and there are people who don't know why they are asking.
As the name suggests, the Mana Transformation Core is a basic device that transforms mana, which can convert the mana output of the Mana Crystal Card into the power to drive machinery, just like a spell model that can move objects. However, the spell model is composed of mental power plus magic materials and spells, and the core of magic transformation is a real mechanical composition.
Some advanced Mana Transmutation Cores can even adjust the intensity and speed of the mana output.
After waiting for a moment, the old man continued, "At the same time, although this primitive transformation core is basic, it is far more complex than ordinary small mechanical systems," he pointed to Morin's work displayed in the air, "In these three perspectives, each line represents a magic channel, a total of four hundred and thirty-three magic channels, which are connected to each other to form one thousand eight hundred and forty-nine basic magic power circuits," the old man sighed again and said slowly: " I took a closer look, and although Maureen's lines were distorted, the proportions were incorrect, and the details were a mess, every intersection was correct, and not a single line crossed too much or too little. That alone, I think, was enough for this teenager to win. ”
After the old man finished speaking, the square was already much quieter, and the dark red sunset shone on people's faces, most of them were confused expressions of "although I didn't understand but I felt very powerful", after all, not everyone would be involved in the field of too many magic equipment, and it was not very clear whether what the old man said was true. They could see the straightness of the lines, the specification of the diagrams, and the beauty of the pictures, but they could only look at each other in confusion about how difficult it was to "match all the intersection points of the magic channel of the magic transformation core".
But there were still people present who knew about magic equipment, such as the purple-robed young man who hosted the opening scene.
For example, Marcas.
This aristocratic young man from Gessock, the third son of the powerful Grand Duke Maple Leaf, had a sad and angry expression at this time: "You...... You ......" he pointed at the old man, as if he had already thrown the aristocratic etiquette or something out of the clouds, "you said he ......" Marcus pointed to Morin again, "He drew a magic transformation core correctly?!...... you said this" He then pointed to Morin's diagram, "This hornet's nest thing has every intersection correct?!"
Dressed in a short sky-blue robe, with blond hair and black eyes, Marcus Mipuou's hand pointed at the old man again, and said in a voice of incomparable grief and indignation: "You liar! Great liar! You old men of Sororumi are all big liars!!
Faint tears were already glistening in his eyes, and the boy was incoherent, "I, I...... You...... The old man with the goatee who sold his wand before was a liar, and now this old man who sells mechanical birds is also a liar, and you old men of Zororumi are all big liars, what a city of waterfalls, what a capital of freedom, I will never come to this city again!!"
After saying that, Marcus stumbled to the edge of the booth, looked at the mechanical birds on the booth again, and then jumped off the booth, squeezed into the crowd, and walked away without looking back.
Morin looked at the direction where Marcus left a little stupidly, and wondered in his heart: "Even if these two old men are really liars, there is no need to cry, is it true that Marcus really likes magic machines so much, why don't you wait until the school gives it to him?"
Speaking of which, if you don't count the inexplicable sadness in front of the strange monument in the royal capital of Lothar, the last time I cried my nose was when I was seven or eight years old, and I didn't pay attention when I exercised, fell from the roof to the ground, broke my right leg, and cried a lot.
However, because of physical reasons, even such a serious injury was recovered after only six days, and there was no impact. Therefore, the grandfather punished himself with little violence such as spanking, and more forbade the eating of meat. Thinking about it, Merlin touched his ass and laughed, not knowing if it was because of his peculiar physique or something else.
The old man looked at the boy who had won the game but was obviously out of the world a little speechless, and said, "Okay, lucky little guy, this Devil Bird generation belongs to you, you must take good care of it." ”
Morin came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Ah, haha, okay." ”
The young man in a purple robe walked up to the mechanical bird on the booth, took a part from the cervical vertebrae of the mechanical bird, walked up to Morin and said: "Stretch out your hand, you need to take a blood sample as a permission mark, if you want to change the ownership, you can also use this part to take someone else's blood sample." ”
To tell the truth, although the young man in the purple robe admired the old man wearing a mechanical machine next to him, he still expressed doubts that the young man in front of him, who was a little off the line, could correctly draw the core of magic transformation, and he was going to take a closer look at this diagram at night.
Merlin saw that the part in the young man's hand had a needle-like tip, and handed the Star of Electric Pea to his right hand, then extended his left index finger. The young man tucked the parts lightly, then inserted the parts back into the mechanical bird, and said to Merlin, "Now you just need to say "in", and the Devil Bird generation will ......"
"IN", without waiting for the purple-robed young man to finish speaking, Mo Lin couldn't wait to shout, only to see the Demon Bird generation turned into a silver light, and then converged on Mo Lin's forearm, he looked down and found that there was a mechanical bird pattern composed of pale yellow lines, which was quite cute. But there was a wave of displeasure from Xiao Hei, who didn't seem to like the bulky machine that had made his home on the boy, and thought that he still preferred the gargoyles on the boy's shoulders, at least the same color as himself.
The young man darkened his face, said no more, took out a thin booklet from his bosom, handed it to Merlin and said, "This is the instruction manual of the Walker generation, well, if there is any problem, read it yourself." Obviously dissatisfied with Mo Lin's messing around without waiting for him to finish speaking, he still added: "When the magic mark is attached to you, the mechanical bird will continue to consume the magic power in the magic crystal card, and there is a yellow crystal card in your shelf, which can be regarded as a gift to you." However, if you don't summon it before the mana runs out, it will randomly appear around you and take some damage itself, which is very dangerous, so keep in mind. ”
Mo Lin, who was excitedly checking the mark on his forearm, didn't know if he had heard it, and said loudly without raising his head: "Okay, got it, thank you, uncle." ”
"Uncle?!" the purple-robed young man said no more, and with a depressed expression, he picked up the illustrations of the two teenagers and retreated to the back.
At this time, it was already dark, and most of the crowd of onlookers in the audience dispersed, and the old man with the strange machine thought for a while, and said to Merin: "I don't know where you are going to school, I can recommend you to go to Goblin Academy, or if you want, you can come directly to our Misur magic equipment store to learn from me." ”
Goblin Academy is a magical apparatus academy founded by goblins and is recognized as one of the top academies. At the same time, although there are many academies on the mainland, one-to-many mentor apprenticeships also exist, and such apprentices often have special talents, and choose a good direction at the beginning, and will not change for life.
Merlin shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I'm not particularly interested in magic equipment, and I'm going to the ...... of the Illuvita Academy."
Speaking of the Illuvita Academy, Morin seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, looked down the stage, and saw that Emino looked weak and crumbling, although he was still looking at him happily. He hurriedly ran down the booth and said loudly without looking back: "I'm sorry grandpa, my friends and I have to go to dinner, if you want to find me, you can go to the Illuvita Academy of Magic, goodbye!"
The old man flicked the machinery next to his eyes, looked at the sky in confusion, a round of the moon had risen on the top of the distant airport tower, and muttered: "The moon god is above, a twelve-year-old boy has completely written down the entire magic transformation core, how much perseverance does it take, and he actually said that he has no interest in magic equipment." Am I really old......"
