Chapter 8: Magical Talent
Three months have passed, and the summer wind has brought a touch of warmth to the northern town of Falling Dragon Castle, and in the square of the town, a group of teenagers are training. Today there are fewer than two hundred people in the square. There are two times when the Puang Empire joins the army, once after the harvest in the autumn and the other in the late spring and early summer of each year, at this moment there are more than a hundred teenagers in the Falling Dragon Castle to their military career, and the remaining children are young, plus this is the warmest and most pleasant time of the year in the northern town, most of the children are inevitably a little lazy.
Although Wright really wants to become a magician, he also knows that talent can't be forced, so he can only redouble his efforts to train as a warrior, as his father Andy said, if you can't become a magician, it's good to become a powerful warrior.
I saw that Wright was only wearing shorts at this time, his bare upper body was covered with sweat, and the whole person was lying prone on the ground like a taut string, his hands were pressed on the ground like the roots of an old tree, and the whole person did not move, relying only on his hands and toes to support. The whole person is completely tense.
Static tension workout!
It is a simple and applicable exercise method, which can exercise the muscles of the whole body at the same time, especially the dead corners of the abdominal and calf exercises. But in a small town in the north like Falling Dragon Castle, this kind of exercise is not common, without him, the temperature in the north is too low, except for the "Yunqi style" that must be cultivated, the exercise methods are mainly dynamic exercises. People who can maintain static tension for a longer period of time are often good fighters.
More than a year has passed, and Wright's training has also begun to bear fruit, and now Wright is already at the level of a first-class fighter--- considering that he is only a 9-year-old boy, this strength is actually very amazing.
"This morning's training is over." Rofort shook his head and said, "Puran, Leonard, Harris, Wright, Garon... The eight of you will come with me later. ”
Hearing Rofort's words, most of the children looked at the children whose names were called with sympathetic eyes, except for a few older ones.
Wright wasn't surprised, because he knew what it was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The evening before, after dinner. "Wright," said Adoptive Father Andy with some solemnity, "Do you remember when you said you wanted to be a magician?" ”
Wright: "Clams? ”
Looking at Wright's somewhat confused expression, Andy said with some hatred: "The Blue Castle Magic Admissions Test will start in about two months, and you don't plan to go?" ”
Ah, magic test admissions? Wright suddenly remembered this matter, half a year ago, his parents had asked if he wanted to be a magician, and quickly replied: "Dad, I really want to be a magician in my heart, as soon as you arrange for me to go to the Blue Castle to take the magic admissions test, the Blue Castle is so far away, should we go now?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry, you're quite a magician, and it depends on whether you have talent or not. If you don't have the talent, wouldn't it be a waste of gold coins to go on a trip. Andy touched his chin very proudly and said, "So I discussed with a few old brothers in the escort team, and went to find a mage Wilmot, he promised to help you boys test whether they have magical talents, if you don't have any talent, you don't need to run in vain, if the talent is very high, he can also write a letter of introduction to the mages he knows." ”
Wright: "。。。。。。。 ”
------------------------------------------------------------------
Luo Fu first led a few children to the residential area to pick up five teenagers and girls, and then walked to an independent mansion in the west of the town, knocked on the door vigorously, and after a while, a young man of about 17 or 18 years old opened the door, the young man was dressed in a water-blue robe, and he still held a magic staff in his hand, his face was thin, and his temperament looked very gentle.
The young man first greeted Luo Fu in a friendly manner, and then asked, "Brother Luo Fu, these are the children who test their magical talents, right?" ”
After receiving Luo Fu's affirmative answer, the young man invited Luo Fu and a few children to sit in the living room, and then said to Luo Fu: "Brother Luo Fu, although I can do the test, I still have to tell the teacher as usual, I will go and ask the teacher now, and the children will come with me first." ”
Then he took Wright, a total of thirteen teenagers and girls, to the door of a room on the side of the mansion, and knocked on the door: "Teacher, the child who came for the test today has arrived." ”
A serious voice came from the room: "Karl, come in." Then the door opened.
Several teenagers and girls, including Wright, saw the scene at the door, their eyes widened, without him, the furnishings in this room were too mysterious, the floor was bright marble, there were huge crystal lanterns hanging overhead, the strange mist that swirled and rose, the bookshelves that occupied half of the house, the glittering gem staff, and all kinds of strange biological specimens, these teenagers and girls suddenly gave birth to a sense of worship, even Wright was quite surprised, this is the life of a magician? It looks too mysterious, right?,Dad used to know magicians.,This style of painting is completely different from what my father said!
The corners of Carl's mouth on the side twitched, his teacher was very serious when he taught magic, but sometimes it was too bad fun, this is good, in order to show off in front of a few children, the teacher seems to take out all the useful and useless things to decorate, and I'm afraid that I will have to clean up myself in the end.
"Alright, children," said the old mage with rich hair, black robe with a touch of starlight, and a staff studded with a huge ruby, "Let me check your magical talents. One by one, Carl prepared the records. As he spoke, he took out a crystal ball from his robe and said, "Later, put your hand on the crystal ball to test the elemental affinity." Then go to the magic array to test your mental power."
The first test was a little girl named Shirley, the little girl put her right hand on the crystal ball a little nervously, and suddenly the whole crystal ball began to emit a misty faint light blue light.
Karl's eyes widened, "Shirley, water elemental affinity, medium." ”
The old mage was also quite surprised, although it was said that the medium elemental affinity was only the bottom line talent of the magician, and there was also a requirement for spiritual power, but it was also very rare, but it was indeed a little surprising that the first little girl had this kind of talent.
Karl, the young mage's apprentice, guided Shirley to a hexagonal complex magic circle, and the old mage waved his hand and a water-blue magic light sprinkled into the magic circle.
Water Magic - Water Pressure!
The little girl in the magic circle felt a dull feeling, and after a while, this dull feeling turned into suffocation, and Shirley struggled to breathe, and then the magic power suddenly disappeared.
Karl recorded with some excitement on the side: "If you bear five minutes, your mental strength should be 12-14 times that of your peers." ”
Master Wilmot touched his beard and asked with some joy, "Little girl, your talent is okay, are you interested in being my student?" ”
"Teacher!" Carl reminded helplessly, "There are still 12 children." The old mage came back to his senses and said with a smile, "The little girl will stand on my side first, and we will finish the rest of the test first, and then talk about the apprenticeship."
Encouraged by Shirley's one-time success, everyone was a little excited.
But then the results of the test poured cold water on it.
"Harris, fire elemental affinity primary, there is no need to test the spiritual power, it is not qualified!"
"Pulan, the wind element is medium, the dark element is medium, and the spiritual power is 5 times that of the same age, it's a pity, it's a little bit!"
"Jena, Earth Elemental Elemental, unqualified!"
There are eight people in a row, all of them are unqualified, except for Puran according to Master Wilmot said that he can try to practice meditation more, maybe he can improve his mental power, and in the test to the Blue Castle next year, he will reach 6 times the spiritual power of his peers, that is, the bottom line of qualification, and the other seven people have no possibility of taking the magic principle at all.
"Next, Wright." Karl shouted.
Wright took a breath to calm down, stepped inside, and placed his hand on the crystal ball.
In an instant, the entire crystal ball suddenly dazzled, and the earthy yellow and fiery red light reflected each other, and the light was faintly dazzling.
The dazzling light stunned everyone in the room.
"Click" Carl's pen fell off, waking him up. After carefully examining the crystal ball, he couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted, "Wright, the earth element, the fire element, the affinity, etc." ”
Wright's heart was pounding, he had heard his parents say that magical talent mainly depends on elemental affinity and mental power, although it is not clear what level of talent "super" actually represents, but it is definitely not low, if it is not high mental power, then...
"Mental power test," Mage Wilmot, who had come back to his senses, also said loudly.
Wright walked into the magic circle, and then the magic activated, and a strange pressure acted on the spirit.
"Average." In the face of this spirit, Wright didn't feel much pressure at first, as if a breeze was blowing on his face.
As time passed, the light of the magic array became brighter and brighter, and the same level of pressure became stronger, and after about a quarter of an hour, the pressure became more and more intense, and Wright slowly fell to his knees.
Carl carefully calculated the time and Wright's grade, and said excitedly: "The mental power is 28-33 times that of his peers, and he is on the boundary between high and super."
"Snap" Mage Wilmot's staff fell to the ground.
