Chapter 8 Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
Candida knew that he was a god's forsaken, and the so-called god's forsaken was a person who was forsaken by the gods. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Growing up, he lived in the rejection and contempt of others, and sometimes in the dead of night, he even asked himself why he was living? Why do you live so secretly?
He was so confused, going through the days like the walking dead.
Until one day, the man stood in front of him, with long golden hair peculiar to the Ralbani royal family, and blue eyes like a rough ocean......
"From now on, you will be my chief of guard, I want you to live for me, this is the meaning of your birth!"
At that moment, Candida finally found a reason to live.
He knelt down on one knee and willingly bowed to the man who needed him: "Yes, Prince Lancelot!" β
Seven years have passed, and the boy who was guarded at the beginning has grown up day by day, especially when he saw Lancelot receiving the blessing of the God of Light at the age of eighteen, Candida couldn't help but feel excited, all human beings can accept the blessing of the god they believe in, only the black-haired and black-eyed human beings can't, because they are abandoned by God!
Seeing Candida's increasingly melancholy face, Lancelot was also distressed.
After seven years of getting along, the relationship between the two is no longer a simple master-servant relationship, but more like friends and brothers.
"Candida, why don't I find you a black-haired, black-eyed slave girl?" Lancelot had also thought about introducing Candida to a girl with a different hair color, but even the most humble slave was reluctant to marry the black-haired chief of the guard beside His Royal Highness, for fear of giving birth to a descendant with the same black hair and black eyes. And the black-haired girls in this world are basically sold into slavery, even if he is the prince of a country, he is helpless about this situation.
Candida shook her head with a wry smile, if he was still a slave, then he would still be grateful to Dade for this arrangement. But how could he, already the captain of the guard, marry another slave girl?
It's not because Candida herself looks down on the black-haired slave girl, but because she can't embarrass His Royal Highness Prince Lancelot. A dark-haired chief of the guard was already a man of his own making, making Prince Lancelot ridiculed among the nobles. If you add a slave-girl wife of the chief of the guard...... Prince Lancelot can already do without going out.
Until that day, the dark and bright hair, the starry eyes, the always smiling eyebrows, the gently upturned lips, the shallow dimples, and most importantly - she was not a slave, and there was no sign of a slave on her forehead!
Who is it that raised such a fresh and agile brunette girl?
Who was it that gave him a glimmer of hope!
"You...... See you again, is there anything I can do to help? β
"Ahh That's who, who's who, it's so good to meet you, do you know which side is the West? β
"The West? This way. β
Seeing the back that was gradually moving away, Candida's heart that had been worried suddenly calmed down, and a shallow smile of satisfaction hung on her lips.
The staff on the other end of the horn was still urging her - Ji Ran.
Ji Ran?
Look in my eyes...... You'll find out what you mean to me.
Ralbani Kingdom: Regoz Branch of the Enchanters Allianceββ
Enchanter is a relatively rare profession, which is related to the education system of the world, the people of this world seem to be very weak in the education of magic, and the profession of enchanter has high requirements for magic.
As a result, with a weak foundation, the number of enchanters naturally became scarce.
The first exam question Ji Ran faced this time was to enchant a bronze sword.
Since it is an introductory exam, it is very easy, so the materials provided are also very simple: a bottle of cryolite stock solution, a bottle of fire crystal stock solution, plus a bronze sword.
As long as you can successfully attach a stock solution to this bronze sword, this level will be passed.
Placing the bronze sword horizontally on the test bench in front of him, Ji Ran held a bottle of potion in his left and right hands, thinking about a very serious problem-
Is it a treacherous enchanter who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger? Or play the domineering arrogant enchanter?
If you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, then your strength must be hidden, and you can slap the enemy in the face at the last moment.
If you show your true strength, then it's cool, but it's also easy to attract attention, but I'm afraid that I will have to indulge in all kinds of deceit in my future life.
Which one should you choose?
At this moment, a deafening cheer suddenly came from next door-
"Miss Belinda has succeeded!"
"Miss Belinda has become a high-level enchanter!!"
"Miss Belinda is worthy of being the heir of the enchanter family, she became a high-level enchanter at the age of eighteen, what a genius!!"
A smile slowly appeared on Ji Ran's face. Well, since there's already a genius next door, then I'll have a fool here, and it's fun to pretend to be a pig! β(^w^)β
The invigilator picked up the finished bronze sword and looked at it, and a wisp of cold air successfully emerged from the sword, and nodded at the recorder next to him, and the recorder wrote a "good".
It's really too long for Ji Ran to start thinking about the two bottles of the original solution, if it weren't for the good addition of this enchantment in the back, it is estimated that he wouldn't even be able to get "good".
The second question is the decomposition of raw materials.
It was still a copper sword, and after five minutes, Ji Ran successfully decomposed the two constituent elements of this sword, and the copper and tin blocks were placed on the table, proving that this sword was made of copper and tin alloy.
The invigilator picked up these two pieces of metal and felt that the distribution of mineral elements inside was extremely balanced, which was very convenient for dissolution and division during reconstruction, so he nodded greatly, and the recorder wrote down an "excellent".
The third question is to attach a permanent effect to a piece of armor.
If you want to add a permanent effect to a certain piece of equipment, you must use the magic core, and Ji Ran, who saw that he actually got a good score in the second exam, decided to release the water this time, so as not to hinder his latent plan.
She picked up a magic core and roughly inlaid it into the armor, then roughly outlined a magic drawing array on the armor, poured in some magic guidance solution so that the power in the magic core could be on the armor, and handed it to the invigilator.
The invigilator looked at the obviously rough product, closed his eyes, and the recorder wrote "pass".
The fourth question is to make your own enchantment equipment.
Ji Ran directly asked the invigilator for the copper and tin blocks that had been decomposed before, and once again refined them into a copper sword that was the same as the previous one......
Ji Ran, who had a junior enchanter medal pinned to his shoulder, returned to the hall of the Regoz branch of the Enchanters Alliance with a sad face.
A group of well-dressed people in the hall were enthusiastically surrounding a tall girl with chestnut waist-length hair, brown pupils, a high nose, and a few freckles on her cheeks. She is wearing a bright yellow dress, which is more prominent.
Compared with the girl's lofty aura, there was only one old man Bernie on Ji Ran's side.
Bernie asked with an expectant smile, "Ji Ran, what rank did you get into?" It's supposed to be advanced, right? Haha, two high-level enchanters appeared in one day, and this old guy Neham, as the president of the Enchanters Alliance, must have something to show off again...... Capital...... This ......"
Bernie's cloudy old eyes finally saw the junior enchanter medal on Ji Ran's shoulder, and his boastful words stopped because of this.
"Hee-hee, Grandpa Bernie, I've only earned the qualification of a junior enchanter. And...... My exam record is only a passing grade, and I think President Neham, whom you just mentioned, would only be ashamed of this, and the only one who can add luster to him is the young lady standing there. Ji Ran pointed to the "moon" in the hall at this moment with the tip of his chin, and tried his best to cast a beam of adoring gaze.
As if sensing Ji Ran's gaze, this Belinda senior enchanter actually turned her face and looked over, seeing Ji Ran's black hair, she frowned at first, and then saw the medal of the junior enchanter on her shoulder, but her face was still cold. It wasn't until two figures appeared in the crowd that her complexion became as bright as spring again.
"Your Highness!"
His Royal Highness a certain prince, who had a relationship, walked into the center of the crowd with an indifferent expression, and all the people in gorgeous clothes were making way for him.
The dark-haired fellow who had forgotten his name followed him, guarding him at all times in any danger that might come from any direction.
"Your Highness, I've become a high-level enchanter!" Miss Belinda's tone was slightly higher, showing the joy in her heart.
When the prince heard this, a courtesy smile appeared on his face, "This is really good news, Belinda, let's go, I think your father must want to hear this good news as well." β
"Hmm." Miss Belinda chin lightly chin and walked away behind His Royal Highness the Prince.
The scenes over there are all over, and Old Man Bernie doesn't seem to have woken up from the blow Ji Ran gave him, and is still muttering to himself: "How is it possible? That's impossible! β¦β¦β
"Alright, Grandpa Bernie, let's go too, no matter how impossible it is, it's already happening! Let's go, let's go! β
Bernie suddenly cheered up like a chicken blood, slammed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, and said loudly: "By the way, you just came to Regoz today, I actually didn't let you rest and go to the exam, it's normal to play abnormally!" Ji Ran, come, grandpa will take you to the best restaurant to have a good meal, and then sleep peacefully for the night. β
Well, Ji Ran can understand the disappointment in the heart of this old man at the moment, he must not have imagined that the child entrusted by his old friend is actually a waste material...
The old and the young, who had eaten and drunk, returned to the academy, and after Ji Ran recuperated with peace of mind, he told Bernie that he did not want to take the exam again.
Although Bernie was a little unhappy, he didn't force it, just pressed Ji Ran's shoulder and said, "Child, it doesn't matter if you don't learn magic tricks well, let's follow Grandpa to learn potion blending in the future!" β
Yes, it's really treated as scrap.
