Chapter 131: Apprentices and Carpenters
"This is the first lesson. I will not explain any advanced spells, but how you should learn on the job, work on the job, and slowly become a qualified magician.www.biquge.info ”
In the library, the apprentices sit in groups of three, behind four desks, while Green stands under the blackboard and lectures to the apprentices.
"There are three major indicators of a mage: intelligence, magic, and knowledge! All the actions of the mage are to improve these three attributes, and when these three indicators reach a certain level, the mage's promotion and advancement will come naturally. Green wrote three words on the blackboard and left a blank space at the end, "Intelligence refers to the brain's ability to think logically." Warriors exercise their bodies through combat and sports, so how do mages exercise their brains? Does anyone know? Green looked at the students below the podium.
"Exercising by reading books?" A teenager raised his hand.
"Raise your hand before answering a question next time. After I take the roll call, I will answer again, and please stand up when I answer. Green paused, "Okay, do it all over again." Hands. Green said to the apprentice.
The apprentice obediently raised his hand.
"Tom, answer." Green called by name.
The boy stood up: "Exercise by reading a book." ”
"Good. Sit down. Green motioned for Tom to sit down.
Tom shyly sat back in his chair.
Green made a note on the roll call.
"Reading, calculating, thinking, etc., as long as it is an activity that makes the brain active and burdens the brain, can exercise the brain. The greater the burden on the brain, the better the effect of the exercise, but if the intensity is too high, there is a risk of injuring the brain...... Mona, send this to everyone. Green pointed to the twelve iron boards with magic arrays printed on them at his feet, and asked Mona, the assistant teacher, to send them to the students.
"Mona~" Mona held the wooden planks and sent them to each table separately.
Greene: "I think you've all seen that task at the library door. Now, you pick up the magic circle in your hands and look closely at the magic circle above it to see if you can see anything. ”
The apprentices picked up the planks one after another and observed the magic circle on it.
"Did you find anything?" After a moment, Green asked.
No one spoke among the apprentices.
"Then let me ask a different question. Do you feel any discomfort? ”
This time, one of the apprentices, after hesitating for a moment, raised his hand.
"Jerry." Green nodded.
"Teacher, I feel a little dizzy after watching it for a long time."
"Not bad! After watching it for a long time, you will get dizzy. When people observe the magic text, they will try to understand the meaning of the magic text, which will cause a certain burden on the brain. If you don't have enough intelligence attributes or you look at it for too long, you will feel dizzy, dizzy, and lose concentration. Of course, this is not only the case with magic texts, but also with ordinary texts that can be read for a long time. So your first task is to get used to the magic script, and carve out the magic circle that will be sent to you. Grin paused, "Now I'm going to talk about some carving requirements." ”
Green picked up a wooden board, hung it on the blackboard, pointed to the magic circle on the board, and drew a set of data on the blackboard.
"All the lines on the magic array are 1mm wide and 1mm deep, and the error accuracy cannot exceed 10%. In other words, the width and depth of the line must be kept between 0.9~1.1mm, and if the accuracy exceeds one, the entire magic array will be scrapped! ”
Hearing Green's words, all the apprentices couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "1mm deep and wide? Accuracy requirements of 10%? ”
Green and the other apprentices thought for a while, and after understanding the difficulty of this requirement, they continued to speak: "The price of each magic array is 0.5 gold coins, if two magic arrays are scrapped, then even if the carving is completed, there will only be credits, and there will be no remuneration. Within a month, the students who have completed the carving of the magic array, even if they have completed the apprenticeship assessment, and if they scrapped the three magic arrays and failed to complete the assessment...... "Greene paused, "and leave by himself." People who can't even be 'careful' are not fit to be a mage. ”
Hearing Green's words, the apprentices couldn't help but swallow their saliva and felt a burst of pressure.
"In addition to exercising your intellectual attributes, carving a magic circle also requires a certain amount of strength and carpentry skills. So in the afternoon I got Tracy the carpenter from town to give you a carpentry lesson. In addition, strength training cannot be put down. Starting tomorrow, every morning from 7 to 9 a.m., Sivina will be responsible for your strength and fitness. ”
Carpentry class? Physical exercise? Are we really here to be apprentices to magic?
Many apprentices couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in their hearts.
"Huh? I think a mage and a warrior are similar......" A dwarven apprentice gripped his beard, a smile on his face. Dwarves are still very confident in their physical strength and strength.
Soon, the morning session was over. In the afternoon, there is a carpentry class......
The apprentices soon got busy and began to work with wood every day.
In the morning, the apprentices need to receive two hours of physical training, and then the free time needs to study some of the lessons and homework that Green has assigned them - Green only has two classes a week, so most of the time the apprentices need to study on their own, and if they encounter problems, Green will answer them uniformly during the class. In the afternoon, the apprentices need to pick up the carpenter's ruler, chisel, and knife, and begin their daily carpentry career......
In the apprentice's dormitory, Tom looked at the calluses on his hands, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face: "Is this really the training of magic apprentices?" Why do I find it weird? ”
Tom's roommate, Jerry, was holding a knife and carving a wood carving: "Master Grimm is a genius, and his training methods are naturally different from your grandfather's. ”
"Okay." Tom collapsed on the bed.
in another bedroom.
The dwarf was looking at the wood in his hand with an irritated expression: "Ah! Yes! Yes! It's a really hot job! I'd rather chop wood with an axe than do this kind of work with a knife! ”
"I didn't think carving was useful before, but now it seems that the instructor's lessons still make some sense." The halfling grinned and played with his carving, "Come on, didn't you say you're going to be the first dwarven mage?" There aren't many mages in this world who are willing to teach dwarven magic. ”
……
Engraving is not an easy task, not to mention the high precision requirements! The punishment of failing three times and getting out of the way also made the apprentices dare not do it easily. But there are always some people who are not afraid of death!
A week later, when Green reappeared in class, the three apprentices who were more confident in their carpentry abilities handed over the magic circle they had carved.
