Chapter 18: Apprenticeship does not accept magic runes
Xu Zixiong was like a heifer on a plane, and after the brainteaser with no answer was left behind, he slowly put the ancient book in his hand on the table, and then pointed to the secret door behind him and asked, "Three seniors, can I go over now?" ”
"Yes..... OK! Hearing Xu Zixiong's words, Ouyang Xiaofeng nodded subconsciously, but before Xu Zixiong could turn around, Ouyang Xiaofeng grabbed Xu Zixiong's arm violently, "Wait, wait!" ”
After speaking, in Xu Zixiong's puzzled gaze, Ouyang Xiaofeng, who was over the age of six, went around the table in a panic, came to Xu Zixiong, leaned over and was about to kneel, so frightened that Xu Zixiong quickly jumped to the side: "Senior, what are you doing here?" You can't take my joke seriously, do you? ”
To be honest, Xu Zixiong really wanted to humiliate Ouyang Xiaofeng before, but now think about it calmly, this is not the secular world that he can eat, and he can't use the eyes of public relations in the secular world to see Mu Feng accepting himself as an apprentice, Ouyang Xiaofeng was right before, why did he ask Mu Feng for a thousand amethyst coins a month?
So seeing Ouyang Xiaofeng's move to kneel, Xu Zixiong didn't want to dodge it, which Cheng thought, Xu Zixiong gave Ouyang Xiaofeng the steps to come down, Ouyang Xiaofeng actually ignored it, still knelt on the ground and said: "Joke? You kid said it was a joke, forget it, my Ouyang Xiaofeng spit is a nail, willing to gamble and lose is my famous signboard, it is not good if you are willing, it is not good if you are unwilling, from now on your kid will be my Ouyang Xiaofeng's fifth master. ”
"The fifth master?" Xu Zixiong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile, "Senior, did you often bet with others before, why there are so many masters?" ”
Which Cheng thought, hearing Xu Zixiong's words, Ouyang Xiaofeng actually had a bar on his neck, and said nonchalantly: "Is five masters too much?" There are twenty-five apprentices below me, all of whom won by betting, even the dean of our magic academy....."
"Ahem!" Just when Ouyang Xiaofeng said the most critical moment, two coughs suddenly came to mind in the room, and he saw Jin Yan, the dean of the Academy of Magic, walking in with an unnatural face, followed by Xu Zixiong's cheap master Mu Feng.
Seeing Dean Jin Yan and Ouyang Xiaofeng, who was kneeling on the ground, he quickly smiled embarrassedly: "Dean, you are here, this kid is fierce, he is actually going to ....."
"Alright, alright, we all know it already!" Jin Yan didn't wait for Ouyang Xiaofeng to finish speaking, he glared at him fiercely, and then said coldly, "Elder Ouyang, there is nothing for you here, leave the rest to me, before leaving, I will send you a word, keep your mouth shut, understand?" ”
For the meaning of the dean's words, where would Ouyang Xiaofeng not understand, if Jin Yan had come one step later just now, it is estimated that he would have shaken out the matter of Jin Yan's private bet against himself, for this matter, Ouyang Xiaofeng would not have said it if he was rotten in his stomach, but wasn't he almost said it by Xu Zixiong just now?
Therefore, Ouyang Xiaofeng didn't dare to glance at his nominal apprentice Jin Yan now, but got up and came to Xu Zixiong, and said softly: "Little Master, when you are done with things here, go to the Library Pavilion to find me, I still have some words to finish." ”
When Xu Zixiong heard this, he first glanced at Mu Feng, then smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, you really don't have to pay attention to what happened just now, as long as one party doesn't admit it, it won't count." ”
I don't know if Xu Zixiong guessed the matter between Dean Jin Yan and Ouyang Xiaofeng, or persuaded Ouyang Xiaofeng from the heart, anyway, his words always made Dean Jin Yan feel weird, but Ouyang Xiaofeng grinned after listening to Xu Zixiong's words.
I'm afraid Xu Zixiong would never have dreamed that when Ouyang Xiaofeng was usually fine, he would bet with the high-level leaders in the courtyard with the quick questions and answers left by the nightshade, from the dean Jin Yan to the freshmen like Xu Zixiong who were disliked by Ouyang Xiaofeng, they all became Ouyang Xiaofeng's nominal apprentices, but it was just Jin Yan's matter, and few people knew about it.
It can be said that the heavyweights of the Chiyan City Magic Academy, except for Mu Feng, who was so busy all day that his feet did not touch the ground, that when he saw Ouyang Xiaofeng in private, he had to respectfully whisper Master, which was also the reason why Dean Jin Yan had almost never summoned Elder Ouyang alone.
After the three brothers of Ouyang Xiaofeng left with the ancient books, the expression on Dean Jin Yan's face showed a hint of relaxation, and he glanced at Xu Zixiong coldly and said, "Your matter, Vice Dean Mu Feng has already told me, it is said that a person like you who has no magic root, even if he stays in the magic academy, he will not do much." ”
Speaking of this, Dean Jin Yan paused slightly, stared at Xu Zixiong's face for a while, and found that Xu Zixiong's expression had not changed at all, so he continued: "But for Mu Feng's sake, I still plan to make an exception for you to try to learn the production of magic runes, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
"Magic runes?" Xu Zixiong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered the teleportation talisman given by Feng Wu in his hand, and immediately felt that it might be a suitable path for him, so he hurriedly leaned over and said, "The disciple obeys the dispatch of his predecessors and is willing to try to make magic runes." ”
"Hmm!" Seeing Xu Zixiong's actions, Dean Jin Yan nodded unhappily, then looked at Mu Feng and said, "You can tell him some matters related to the production of magic runes, and then let him go to the backyard to do chores during the day, and go to Elder Ouyang to learn to describe magic runes at night!" He's the most expensive guy in our magic academy, so make sure you make the most of it! ”
After speaking, Jin Yan glared at Xu Zixiong, turned around and left, hearing this, Xu Zixiong finally understood his role in the Academy of Magic in the future, and it was not the public relations that Mu Feng said for a long time, but the miscellaneous servants recruited by others, and it is estimated that the production of magic runes will not be easy.
Sure enough, under Mu Feng's narration with a smile on his face, Xu Zixiong finally figured out the true intention of the dean of the people to let him describe the magic runes.
It turns out that the production of magic runes is divided into two steps, the first step is to give you a sample, let you draw the scoop according to the gourd to describe it, don't look easy, but it is not easy to do at all, take the lowest level of runes as an example, if you want to draw the first-level runes accurately, you need to connect the thirty-six strokes in one go, even if there is a slight pause, this rune will be reimbursed, not to mention more or less or a little longer and a little shorter.
The reason why the magic runes are so strict depends entirely on the second step, and after the magic runes are drawn, the most critical step is needed, that is, to inject magic into the magic runes, and activate the magic runes thoroughly.
The success or failure of injecting magic depends entirely on the production of magic runes, and it has nothing to do with my own cultivation at all, if you have a slight pause when making magic runes, then I'm sorry, the magic can't move when it reaches this position, and the short circuit in this secular world is almost the same.
And if you make magic runes a little more, a little less, or a little longer and a little shorter, I'm even more sorry, the magic runes you make, others won't even look at them, because this is not a magic rune, at most it's a fake, even if it's injected with magic fart, it's useless.
In the Fighting Soul Continent, there are not many institutions that can make magic runes, and it is estimated that there is only the Academy of Magic where there are top-level magic rune samples, which is also the main reason why the Academy of Magic can stand in the Fighting Spirit Continent for thousands of years.
And the reason why Dean Jin Yan asked Xu Zixiong to describe magic runes is for two reasons, one is that Xu Zixiong has no magic root, which is easy to control, as long as Xu Zixiong is monitored a little, it is impossible to take the magic runes out of the magic academy, which is not a threat to maintaining the status of the magic academy.
Of course, the main reason is the second one, that is, Xu Zixiong is the person with the most expensive commission in the Academy of Magic, and if he wants to justifiably deduct Xu Zixiong's commission of one thousand amethyst coins a month, the only way is for him to describe the most difficult magic runes.
I saw that after Mu Feng finished the process of making magic runes in one breath, he looked at Xu Zixiong and said slowly: "Boy, the paper made of magic runes is not blown by the wind, I begged the dean for a long time, and the dean agreed, reducing your monthly task to ten, and if you draw a wrong one, you will only be deducted one hundred amethyst coins, which is a cost price!" ”
"Holy!" Xu Zixiong couldn't help but burst into foul language when he heard this, "Speaking of which, if Lao Tzu draws ten wrong sheets, the thousand amethyst coins will be gone, and I did chores during the day for nothing, aren't you playing with people?" ”
"That's what you want!" Mu Feng couldn't help but feel proud in his heart when he heard this, but he said slowly: "Don't worry, you have to take a long-term view, do you know that when you learn the production of magic runes, if you can leave the magic academy and go out, how many amethyst coins can you earn in a month by finding a mercenary group to join?" ”
When Xu Zixiong heard this, he really looked away, and was immediately attracted by Mu Feng's question, and couldn't help asking, "How much?" ”
"Huh!" Mu Feng saw that Xu Zixiong was being trapped by himself little by little, and couldn't help but smile proudly, stretched out three fingers and said, "If you don't have three thousand amethyst coins a month, they just want to hit your attention." ”
Of course, Mu Feng did not say another premise, that is, Xu Zixiong could leave the magic academy safely, otherwise, it would be 30,000 amethyst coins a month, and it had nothing to do with Xu Zixiong, but it was a pity that Xu Zixiong was now smashed by 3,000 amethyst coins at once, and he didn't realize the key words in Mu Feng's words......
