Chapter 7 We are also people with roots
Murphy followed Genesis back to the Mage Guild building and into a nondescript room.
As soon as he entered, his eyes were drawn to a strangely shaped magic machine, a rectangle made of steel throughout, with a metallic sheen on the surface, and three metal tubes standing on top, which felt like an upright coffin.
"It's called the 'Forbidden Chest', and it's made of a kind of forbidden iron that blocks the casting of magic. Looking at Murphy, who was attracted by the forbidden box, Genesys spoke up. "The so-called magic control is actually to see whether a person's soul ability is strong, and in the forbidden box, you can't use magic, and this is when the soul ability comes into play. ”
"However, for those of you who are novices who can barely perceive your own soul abilities, the Forbidden Chambers will also allow you to perceive your soul to the greatest extent. Janis added.
Murphy stepped forward and stroked the metal exterior of the Forbidden Chest, a natural affinity that connected the two to the core, making Murphy feel as if he had been born for metal.
"What are you doing in a daze? Come on in, what do you want to marry this thing to?" Genesis urged, looking at Murphy with a strange look in his eyes.
Pulling open the door to the forbidden box, Murphy stepped in with a determined step.
"Now you can perceive it, and see if you can still perceive your magic?" shouted Janis outside the forbidden box.
Hearing Jennis's faint shout, Murphy casually sensed his magic, but found a big problem.
Not only can you feel your own magic, but it has even been slightly enhanced!
Of course, Murphy didn't report the truth stupidly, but lied to Janis: "This thing seals the magic in my body, and I can't release the magic." ”
"Very well, you can sense your soul power now, you don't need me to teach you this, right?" called Janis again.
He didn't suspect Murphy's lies in the slightest, after all, the Iron of the Forbidden Demon could even block his spiritual magic, but it was not something that a little guy who hadn't even won a first-level mage license could break it.
Murphy sensed his soul power according to the knowledge in his memory, and it was the first time he had practiced this skill, and he had never seen what his soul was like.
Thinking deep into the soul, Murphy saw a flame, it was a colorful flame, this is the fire of the human soul.
According to the book, each color on the soul fire represents a person's emotion, and the larger the soul fire, the stronger the person's soul power.
Murphy compared his soul fire with the soul fire described in the book in his memory, as if he was... It's a lap or two.
Murphy looked at his chubby soul fire and fell into deep thought. Although this description is a bit strange, the soul fire recorded in the book is in the shape of a slender tongue of fire, and this one of mine is a big ball...
"Do you feel your own soul power, you should reply!" Genenis's roar pulled Murphy's thoughts from the clouds back to reality.
"Sensed! Can we start testing now?" Murphy shouted in response.
"Okay, the exam begins! The content is to catch the falling steel balls with your soul power, and only if you can catch three can you pass the test. Do you understand?!" Janis loudly announced the content of the assessment.
"Got it!"
"Now start the timer!" Genesis said, flipping the hourglass outside the Forbidden Chamber, and the top of the chamber began to drop steel balls downward. "You only have a minute!"
Murphy's consciousness melted into his soul fire, and he touched the falling steel balls in the state of his soul.
Murphy did not choose to use magic to cheat, but to use his soul power to go up head-on, and he felt that there was no reason to cheat in this kind of test of his own strength.
The soul fire split its countless tentacles and reached for the steel balls that fell in midair.
One, two, three... Of the hundred steel balls, Murphy caught a total of ninety-three in half a minute.
Perhaps feeling that he was too ostentatious in this way, Murphy manipulated the power of his soul and broke away from the control of the eighty-one steel balls, leaving only twelve to ensure that he would not reveal his biggest secret.
Soon, the sand in the hourglass ran out, and the door to the forbidden chamber opened automatically, and the three pipes slanted up, sucking the steel balls on the ground back, leaving only the twelve steel balls that Murphy controlled.
"Twelve? That's a good result, your talent is very good. Denis nodded in satisfaction and wrote down the result on the parchment in his hand.
"Then congratulations, Prince Murphy, you are now a first-class mage, come with me to get your mage license. Denis threw away the next sentence and turned away.
Murphy looked at the mage license in his hand, his expression was a little dazed, three days ago he was a time-traveler who didn't know anything, but he became a magician in three days.
A quaint staff sits on a spell book, forming the coat of arms of the Mage Guild, inscribed on the surface of the blue license, and opening the passport is Murphy's personal information.
With this thing, Murphy will be able to swagger everywhere in the future... No, I have eliminated harm for the people and fulfilled the responsibility of a mage.
However, compared to the mage license in his hand, Murphy was more concerned about his reaction when he came into contact with the forbidden demon iron just now.
Obviously known as the Iron of the Forbidden Demon, why did the magic in his body become more active instead of being blocked when he touched it just now?
Could it be that he is not only a magical genius, but also a person with a special physique?
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" asked Janis, looking at the puzzled look on Murphy's face.
"Ahh Since driving... Ah, no, the license is already in hand, so I'll go first. Murphy shook his head, said goodbye to Janis, and turned to leave.
Let's go back and check the book for yourself, Murphy pondered secretly.
Seeing Murphy walking out of the gate of the Mage Guild, Philip hurriedly drove the carriage over.
Just as Murphy was about to board the carriage and rush to the royal library to check the materials, there was a sudden commotion at the other end of the market.
A knight in scaly armor rushed forward on horseback, holding a piece of parchment in his hand.
Dare to gallop in the middle of the city?
If it weren't for the sign of the Sellers family printed on the knight's chest, it is estimated that Murphy would have smashed it with a fireball.
When the knight saw Murphy, he took the reins and stopped, then ran over and fell to his knees in front of Murphy.
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Your Majesty has an order, ordering His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to go to the Council Hall as soon as possible, and inform His Highness of something important. The knight hurriedly conveyed the king's order.
"What's the matter?, did Your Majesty tell you?" asked Murphy.
"It's the Council of Nobles, and there is something about your territory, but what exactly went wrong, Your Majesty didn't say, just let me tell you to go to the Council Hall quickly. The knight said.
"Alright then, Philip, we're going to the council chamber!" Murphy replied, turning to Philip as he drove the carriage in the distance.
