"It's important to be mindful of this when dealing with the mages of Beacon Mountain in the future – to make them feel that their knowledge is being respected as it deserves." Roland admonished himself in his heart.

"Okay dear, don't bother with this kind of thing, the 'Behemoth Technique' sounds like a spell that enhances the caster's own hand-to-hand combat ability, which is not commensurate with my spellcasting style, and it is not a big loss if I don't learn it, let's go to dinner first, and then I'll take you shopping and buy some local specialties or something." Nikita grabbed Roland's arm and made meticulous arrangements for the rest of the trip.

"Tonight you have to rest early and get ready for tomorrow's trial." Roland whispered.

Miss Mage smiled sweetly, sticking to him a little tighter, "Tomorrow's trial has a rule that is very unfavorable to me - I can only wear a standard magic robe, carry a staff made by myself, and other weapons, equipment, and magic items are not allowed, so there is nothing to prepare." ”

Roland was taken aback and stopped to look into her eyes: "Neither the 'Eye of Tiamat' nor the 'Siren Scepter' can be brought into the Proving Ground?" ”

Nikita nodded with a heavy face, "If you are allowed to bring a full set of equipment, wouldn't someone like me who has artifacts and legendary scepters take a huge advantage, and how can other trialists be my opponents?" The chiefs took this into account when formulating the rules of the trial, focusing on testing the trialist's own spellcasting ability rather than the equipment level, I don't deny that this is fairer, but unfortunately in this fair trial, all my equipment advantages have been cut off, and the weakness of the low cast level has been highlighted. ”

"Don't worry, there's me!" Roland puffed up his chest confidently, "The two of us will join forces to kill the Quartet, and we will definitely pass the trial." ”

Miss Mage gave him a playful look, "Don't be too confident, my dear, I have bad news here." ”

"What's the bad news? Does it have anything to do with me? Roland had a bad premonition.

"The rules of the trial also govern the equipment of the assistants, you can wear a full set of armor, weapons and shields, but there must be no legendary equipment or artifacts in them." There was a strange smell in Nikita's smile, and she couldn't tell whether it was schadenfreude or sympathy, "Now you have to make a difficult choice - what armor to wear and what weapons to accompany me to the trial tomorrow?" ”

The corners of Roland's mouth twitched violently, and he secretly scolded his mother in his heart, who came up with the trial rules in this special? It's so nasty!

"It's really bad news, and I'll have to think about it." Roland frowned, "The greatest value of artifacts and legendary equipment is not only the strength of its single function, but also the comprehensiveness of its functions, such as Durandal can also add charm and defense to me in addition to attack, and the Black King Armor improves defense while also shielding all psychic attacks, such equipment has several pieces of ordinary equipment, and now they are all excluded by the rules, and it is difficult to match a set of equipment that can cope with all kinds of unexpected situations and be comprehensive!" ”

"It's okay, we've got a whole night to think about it slowly, if it's really hard to decide...... Just wait until the time comes to the testing ground and then draw lots. Nikita said with a smile.

Roland initially thought it was a joke, but on second thought, drawing lots was not a good idea! I forgot who said that luck is also part of strength. In this world of true gods and magic, luck is really part of the strength. Divination and prophecy magic, to put it bluntly, isn't it to ask God for blessing first and then draw lots? As a voter of the goddess of fate, Roland has reason to believe that his luck will not be too bad.

Nikita invites Roland to dinner at Beacon Hill's most prestigious "Magical Cooking Pavilion". Coincidentally, when Roland arrived at the Beacon Hill pier by airship in the morning, he heard the advertisement of this store on the radio, and came to visit it with curiosity, and the result was really eye-opening!

The restaurant not only offers unique cuisine, but also offers live cooking demonstrations for guests. Unlike the tension of the kitchen of a restaurant where the chef is either a warlock or a poet, there is no smoke in the kitchen, and the ingredients are cooked by magic. The poet in charge of the dessert makes the bird-shaped crème brûlée a crisp chirp, and the warlock chef exaggerates a bunch of colorful spice bottles when cooking the lamb chops for the main course, and tosses the lamb chops into a plate of miniature rainbows that exude the aroma of barbecue.

When Roland saw this cooking performance, he couldn't help but think back to the "molecular cuisine" on Earth, and those chemists who disguised themselves as chefs were really similar to the guys in front of him who used ingredients as ingredients to perform creative cooking.

Although the dishes served at the end are strange in shape and strange in color, fortunately, the "fragrance" and "taste" are impeccable, and it is worthy of being the most popular restaurant in Beacon Hill. Of course, the price is not cheap either.

After a sumptuous dinner, Roland accompanied Miss Mage on a walk through the brightly lit streets until the clock struck midnight to end the day's tryst.

"Honey, thank you for being with me all day, I feel so happy, see you tomorrow." Nikita drops Roland to the door of the room and prefers to tiptoe to deliver a sweet goodnight kiss.

Roland kissed her pretty face back, and watched Miss Mage's slender figure walk towards the wind ladder, and inadvertently found that she had specially changed into that pair of "crystal shoes", and couldn't help but feel a slight ripple in her heartstrings, and shouted at her back: "See you tomorrow, my 'Cinderella'!" ”

Nikita stopped and turned around, her shining eyes overflowed with joy, and she lifted the sides of her skirt and bent her knees slightly, as if she was on the dance floor, the crystal shoes under the skirt were crystal clear, and the white and delicate jade feet were almost unconcealed under Roland's sight.

"Good night, my Royal Highness, Cinderella is coming home!"

The girl's figure moved away with the wind, and the crisp laughter like a silver bell still echoed in Roland's ears. After returning to the guest room and washing, he lay on the bed without sleep, and Miss Mage's white and lovely feet were still floating in his mind.

"This ghost girl, I've really grown up, and I'm getting better and better at ** men." Roland sat up with a wry smile, barely suppressed the thoughts that were full of inappropriate children, and took out the notes given by Master Anatoly from the storage bag and looked through them.

The content of the note was mysterious and obscure, and it should have had an excellent hypnotic effect, but the sudden system prompt lifted Roland's spirits.

System Tip: Discover Spell Research! Do you spend 4 degrees of potential to fully learn?

"Isn't this an Upanishads that can be used to learn quickly with potential?" Roland muttered to himself in confusion. Check your potential pool, there are still 28 degrees, and simply consume 4 degrees of potential to study Anatoly and Valentina's research notes and see what happens next.

The 4th degree of potential dissipated in an instant, and the thick notes on both sides of his hands were as always, and they did not automatically burn into ashes like the Upanishads after reading.

Roland felt a slight swelling in his temples, a feeling of tiredness after a long period of mental work. Closing his eyes and recuperating his spirit, he felt that his memory had a lot of knowledge about arcane and natural magic, and he soon realized that these were all research ideas related to "Behemoth".
