Chapter 128: The Day of the Decisive Battle--Chapter 129: The Examination Begins (Part I)
A tall young man appeared in Gu Nansheng's field of vision, and he was close to him... [No pop-up novel network] has thick eyebrows and deep eyes. The bridge of the nose is straight and high.
"Mr. Zaro. It's so early. The big man who had spoken to Gu Nansheng earlier greeted him.
"Hmm." The young man nodded, "Is my teacher here?" ”
Dahan said: "My lord, he is already resting in the lounge, and the restaurant is ready to be six early."
"Oh, I did." The young man's voice was very indifferent, although it was not rude and arrogant, but it was not very comfortable to listen to.
He glanced at Gu Nansheng casually, and didn't pay much attention to it, turned his head and was about to enter the Enchanter's Guild, when he accidentally saw a girl walking behind him.
That, the girl's figure is also quite tall, but her appearance is slightly immature, and she should only be seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a blue and white robe, her appearance was indifferent and beautiful, and her body faintly revealed a kind of indifference that was thousands of miles away.
See this girl. The young man's gaze softened a little, "Alice, you came so early. ”
The girl smiled politely, but didn't say hello, and took out her enchanter's apprenticeship certificate and handed it to the guard. The guard hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Alice." Why do you still need to show proof? Please come in, please come in. ”
"Thank you." The girl replied lightly, and walked through the side door, and the young man hurriedly followed, the previous indifference had disappeared, "Miss Alice, I wonder if you have ever had breakfast?" Today the restaurant prepared breakfast
Watching the two of them go farther and farther, Gu Nansheng was speechless, the cool-looking man just said that he had eaten.
"Huge man. Mr. Zaro just now is the apprentice of the vice president Abi, who is now in his twenties, and has been following Mr. Abi since he was a child, and immediately became an apprentice enchanter after completing the transfer, he is very talented in enchanters, and this apprenticeship enchanter assessment is nine out of ten. The guard at the door, Gu Nansheng, seemed to be interested in the two of them and explained.
"Oh." Gu Nansheng replied casually, "What about that woman?" ”
"That's Miss Alice." The guard man said this, his eyes showed admiration, "Miss Alice is the apprentice of the leader of the Enchanter's Guild. Because she's so good, and, most importantly, she's an intellectual turn-turner. She is only eighteen years old and has been an enchanter for less than two years. However, she is already the most outstanding of all the enchanter apprentices in the Enchanters Guild, and there is no suspense in this apprenticeship enchanter assessment, and the president loves her very much, and does not spare precious materials for her to practice enchantment. ”
"And the people are beautiful, but it's a pity that it's a little cold." The guard man sighed as he looked at the corridor where Alice had disappeared.
Another guard punched him, "You can save it, even if Miss Alice is not indifferent, it will not be your turn." ”
"Hey, hey." The guard who spoke before smiled innocently, "I don't have any illusions, if you want to say that Master Shuo and her are a natural pair, they are both young and promising, and they are talented women."
The guard's sycophant kung fu was not bad, Gu Nansheng laughed it off. "I think that Zaro is very interested in her."
"That's right. Which enchanter's apprentice doesn't have a crush on her, if nothing else, the next president of the Enchanter's Guild will be her, and she will become a trainee enchanter in more than a year, and maybe she will become a first-level enchanter in four or five years, and then there will be four enchanters in Bilo City, a young enchanter of twenty-three or four. It's scary to say it, there has never been anything in the history of Los Angeles, and when Miss Alice is thirty or forty years old, she will definitely be able to become a second-level enchanter, and when the elder is old, this enchanter's guild should be passed on to Miss Alice. Coupled with Miss Alice's outstanding appearance, she has naturally become the public lover of the union. ”
"It's a pity, she doesn't seem to be interested in the affairs of men and women, and treats everyone politely, but in the politeness, it reveals coldness, in fact, Miss Alice is enchanted by enchantment, and in her heart, she can't tolerate anything except enchantment."
"Huh." Gu Nansheng smiled, "What is the concept of a trainee enchanter?" "Gu Nansheng has been following the Lich King's notes to learn enchantment, and the level division of the Lich King is completely different from the general level division of the enchanter of the Big 6.
Hearing Gu Nansheng ask such a mentally retarded question, the guard was stunned, but because of Gu Nansheng's identity, he still patiently replied: "The apprentice enchanter is not a real enchanter. The assessment criterion is to be able to upgrade four one-star equipment to one two-star equipment, with a success rate of more than 30%, which is considered a qualified apprentice enchanter. ”
"Oh." Gu Nansheng secretly thought that this was about the same level as a few months after he first entered the Universal Magic Sphere to learn enchantment. "So what is a first-level enchanter?"
"A first-level enchanter is one that can upgrade two one-star equipment to one two-star equipment, or can be combined into any of the three types of equipment: a one-star useless pendant, a ghost strap, or a bracer. Our Vice President, Mr. Abi, is a one-star enchanter, and the best of the best, and he can already craft a two-star useless charm. ”
Speaking of synthetic gear. Gu Nansheng had only recently learned, and he wanted to understand that those mixed magic arrays were indeed not achieved overnight.
"Mr. Gu. If nothing else, you will be the president of the Warrior Guild in the future, and if you can marry Miss Alice, the president of the Warrior Guild will be the leader of the Enchanter's Guild, a perfect match! ”
Gu Nansheng was stunned. Pointing his finger at himself, "Me? Turned Warrior Guild Leader? ”
"yes." The guard had a natural expression, "Not to mention your contributions, just by virtue of your talent and strength, you are enough to serve as the president of the Warrior Guild, unless, you don't want to leave L.A. to seek a bigger career." ”
Gu Nansheng smiled bitterly. Speaking of which, he has no feelings for this small city at all.
At this time. The captain of the guard finally returned, accompanied by an old man with a white beard. The old man's eyes were unusually bright, and he wore a magnificent hard-collared enchanter's robe, which was embroidered with gold thread with the pattern of the heavenly disk, and on his right chest was a round silver badge carved with interlaced staff and sword.
There are two purple stars underneath the staff and sword.
That is the mark of a second-level enchanter, not counting Gu Nansheng himself, there are only two second-level enchanters in Luocheng now. One is Dika, and the other is Latin, the leader of the Enchanter's Guild.
Deka Gu Nansheng has already seen it, so this person can only be the leader of the Enchanter's Guild.
Gu Nansheng bowed respectfully, "Junior Gu Nansheng, I have seen the elder adult." ”
Latin hurriedly helped Gu Nansheng up, Gu Nansheng's current strength has been transferred to the president of the Warrior Guild, and it stands to reason that he is no lower than him. This is also the reason why Latin came to meet him personally.
Gu Jingsheng said seriously, you ask for it, fortunately, I can't stand it," the old man laughed loudly, making people listen to it like a spring breeze.
"Mr. Gu will come with me to the competition venue now, or will he go to the VIP room to rest first?"
Gu Nansheng smiled, "Don't tell you the truth, I haven't eaten yet." ”
"Haha!" Latin stroked his beard and laughed, "Mr. Gu is really one." Interesting people, then I will send someone to take you to the restaurant for dinner, big pot rice. If the chef is not skilled, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. ”
"Hehe, when I fell into despair canyon, I ate all the grassroots and wild vegetables, and I'm afraid there is really nothing I can't eat." Gu Nansheng had a good impression of this approachable Latin, so he made a joke with him.
"Haha, Mr. Gu can come, and the old man also feels very Rongwei, but I don't know Mr. Nan and him, so I will only rub my hands here after a long time. The little eyes flashed, although this old man was old, he also had aggressive blood in his bones, and he was thinking that if he was forced to defeat him, he would also have the opportunity to go up and practice his hands.
It is usually rare to see a second-level enchanter, so there is naturally less communication, and if you can learn from each other, you can also learn a lot.
Gu Nansheng smiled bitterly, if he said that I was Mr. Nan now, I am afraid that no one would reply, then the old man would definitely say that Mr. Gu would really be joking or something. He didn't bother to explain, so he had to wait until he got to the arena to prove it.
So he just nodded and said, "Mr. Nan is already here, don't worry." ”
"Haha, Daisy, take Mr. Gu to the restaurant, there are still a lot of things to arrange at the venue, so I forgive the old man for missing him.
Latin, apparently pleased, he was an outspoken old man.
"You're busy, you're coming to greet a junior in person, and I'm already flattered." Gu Nansheng hugged his fists in return.
A maid, Shi Shiran, walked up to Gu Nansheng and saluted, "Sir, here."
The two walked through the corridor, and the guard man sighed in admiration, "The cowman is the cowman, just one after another." Go in with three cows. ”
Gu Nansheng followed the maid to the restaurant, the restaurant of the Enchanter's Guild was not big, mainly because of the scarcity of enchanter's apprentices, and there were only a dozen people who usually dined.
The restaurant is elegantly decorated, with a rectangular dining table covered with a red tablecloth in the hall of several hundred square meters, and a bottle of aged red wine, crystal goblets and silver cutlery are placed every few meters in between.
There were five or six people in the restaurant at this time, and Alice was the most prominent among them.
Other enchanter apprentices approached her, consciously or unconsciously, and even female enchanter apprentices hoped to bond with the future head of the Enchanter's Guild.
However, Alice's indifference made them dare not sit too close, and only Zaro sat opposite Alice, talking to Alice with a slightly courteous smile.
Speaking of which, Zaro is also an excellent apprentice of an enchanter, although he is inferior to Alice in terms of energy control, but since he has been Abi's assistant since he was less than ten years old, he is very accomplished in magic arrays.
After all, Alice has been in contact with magic for a short time, and she is still an out-and-out newcomer in the magic circle, and her love for magic makes her happy to talk with Zaro.
"Miss Alice, the arrangement you just proposed is not impossible, but I think it would be okay if "Kan." If you use too much of a magic array symbol, although it can make the energy channel stronger, I am afraid that it will cause the energy to be stuck here. Zaro didn't have much appetite, so he asked for a porridge. Occasionally, I took a small sip, and more often I was discussing the magic circle with Alice.
Enchanters are different from converted warriors, they are natural nobles, and of course they must eat politely.
Etiquette cultivation is a compulsory course for them, and it is said that this can cultivate people's sentiments, maintain a peaceful mind, and help improve the success rate of upgrading synthetic equipment.
"Well, I really don't know," Kan, can lead to this effect. Alice was lost in thought, holding a small silver spoon and gently stirring a cup of milk coffee.
At this moment, however, a discordant voice rang out, cooing, as if some kind of animal was drinking.
The atmosphere of the whole table became eerie, and people looked at the young man who was drinking soup with a silver bowl. I couldn't help frowning slightly.
In fact, it was a bit too much to say that Gu Nansheng drank soup like an animal, but in this elegant and quiet atmosphere, this voice sounded particularly prickly.
Gu Nansheng put down the bowl unsatisfied. Anyway, the soup here is really good, the taste is mellow, and the heat is enough, I'm afraid I can't cry for more than ten hours.
The atmosphere of this restaurant is really nice. It's a pity that the level of people eating in it is really not good. For example, the never-ending Zaro. Nine out of ten sentences are wrong.
The apprentices of the enchanters are all very well-educated. Although they despised Gu Nansheng in their hearts, it was not easy to express it, and by the time Gu Nansheng put down the bowl, they had already turned their heads back and ate their breakfast with peace of mind.
Although Gu Nansheng's rudeness disturbed Alice's contemplation, and also disturbed Zaro's beautiful scenery of admiring the beauty's contemplation, Zaro didn't care too much. He continued to patiently explain to Alice: "There are pros and cons to everything," Kan. It can make the energy channel more stable, and the cost is that the energy wall thickens and the channel narrows, which leads to energy retention. ”
"Oh, that makes sense." Alice had a blank expression, only the enchantment could enrich her indifferent face.
"Hiccup," Gu Nansheng hiccuped inappropriately, the conscience of heaven and earth, his hiccup was very small, but Zaro still heard it.
He frowned, it stands to reason that the person who can enter the Enchanter's Guild today is either an enchanter apprentice, a trainee enchanter or a genuine enchanter, who is this kid?
Alice didn't pay attention to Gu Nansheng, she was completely immersed in thought, "No, making the energy channel more stable is to allow a larger flow of energy to pass through, but if you introduce it." Itself leads to energy retention, so what's the point of such a transformation? It's like we build embankments to make the river flow bigger. However, the construction of the embankment also occupies a part of the riverbed, causing the river to narrow, so isn't this kind of renovation useless? ”
"Uh," Zaro froze. Can't answer that, question. After hesitating for a long time, he organized the wording and said, "Actually, it's okay to use a little bit." ”
The other enchanters also pricked up their ears to listen to Alice's question, hoping to help the beauty answer and win the beauty's favor, but unfortunately, they couldn't answer it.
"Kan. That's not how it works. Gu Nansheng really couldn't stand Zaro's misleading newcomers again and again, and said casually.
Chapter 129: The Assessment Begins (Part I)
Zaro turned his head and glanced at Gu Nansheng with some hostility. Grudgingly smiled, "This friend is also an enchanter's apprentice?" Come and take today's test, shall we? ”
Gu Nansheng shook his head, "No, I'm here to see your game." ”
"Oh?" Zaro raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Then you're a trainee enchanter?" ”
Gu Nansheng picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, "It's not." ”
"So are you a close disciple of any teacher? Coming here on the orders of the teacher? ”
"I don't have a teacher." Gu Nansheng patted his stomach and stood up to leave.
Zaro's face was a little gloomy, and his tone became sharp, "Since you have nothing to do with the enchanter, then why do you question my words?" Being vexatious, do you know that this is a very irresponsible behavior? Enchantment is a serious science! ”
Gu Nansheng shrugged, "I just don't want you to mislead newcomers all the time." Gu Nansheng pointed to the other young enchanters and Alice who were close to Zaro, "A few people in this room are listening to you." ”
"I'm misleading newcomers? Very good. "Rao is Zaluo is very good-educated, and he is also very angry at this time, that rude boy actually insults and slanders himself baselessly in front of his sweetheart, is it unbearable, "Then you should tell me, how should 'Kan' be used." ”
Gu Nansheng spread his hands, "I can't explain this clearly." ”
Gu Nansheng's words caused public outrage, and a small enchanter apprentice stood up. "What do you mean by not being able to explain clearly, do you mean that we can't understand your explanations at our level?"
Gu Nansheng smiled bitterly, that's what he thought, but he obviously couldn't say it, "You can understand it casually, when I didn't say it." ”
"Humph!" The little enchanter's apprentice snorted coldly, turned to Zaro and said, "Ignore this stupid fellow, big brother, you go on." ”
"Yes, that guy obviously doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and deliberately makes trouble."
"He's not an enchanter's apprentice at all, I guess given him a magic array map and a map, he can't tell which is which."
"Yes, and he's still a rude hillbilly, he's never seen a nobleman at all, and he doesn't even know the slightest aristocratic etiquette."
Gu Nansheng laughed, turned around and left, he was not a competitive child anymore, and he couldn't compete with these guys.
However, just as he pushed the door open, a cold voice sounded from behind him, "You better explain!" ”
Gu Nansheng turned his head, but saw the slim Alice looking at him from a distance, "Please explain." Alice added an honorific.
"Unexplainable."
"Blow, you keep blowing." That little enchanter really can't stand it, there are still such cheeky people in this world.
Alice didn't care, "If you don't understand." You can be silent, if you understand that it is only limited to our level and cannot explain clearly, then I want to say that today I listened to your explanation and did not understand, but when I reached this height, when I learned this theory again, I will be more impressed. ”
Alice's remarks surprised Gu Nansheng, he touched his ears and said: "'Kan' can be used in conjunction with 'Zhen' in many cases, but the mechanism of the combination is very complex and difficult to explain. ”
"'Kan' and 'Zhen' combined?" The little enchanter exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Who doesn't know that 'Kan' and 'Zhen' belong to two completely different magic array symbol series, one is dynamic and the other is static, and there is a contradiction between the two, and it is impossible to use them together!" ”
Gu Nansheng didn't explain anymore, pushed the door and went out.
"I don't know how to pretend to understand!" The little enchanter commented.
Alice thought about it for a while, but to no avail, it did sound incredible. Maybe he really just doesn't know how to pretend to understand.
In fact, there is a big difference between the Lich King's theoretical system and the theoretical system of the Guards Legion, which even Gu Nansheng himself doesn't know.
"Brother Zaro. Go on. The little enchanter said.
"Hmm." A smug smile appeared on Zaro's face, "Then I continued, I just said my opinion and discussed it with everyone, if there is something wrong, I hope you can correct it." ”
After a while, Abi opened the door and entered, "Everyone get ready, the apprentice enchanter test has begun." ”
……
At nine o'clock in the morning, the apprentice enchanter assessment officially began, and the light and shadow master projected the situation of the game scene into the large screen in the square through magic.
The area of the examination hall is about three or four hundred square meters, and on the judges' bench are the three major enchanters of Biluo City, as well as Dika from Yanzhou City.
Dika has been keeping his eyes closed, today he is not here to be a judge, but to compete, in the face of unknown and powerful opponents, he must always maintain his mental strength to the best condition.
The nine enchanter apprentices entered in turn, except for Alice, who had no joy or sorrow, all with solemn faces, waiting for the beginning of the assessment.
The president of the Enchanter's Guild personally announced the exam questions, in fact, the exam questions for each apprentice enchanter assessment are basically similar, nothing more than upgrading four pieces of one-star equipment to one two-star equipment, the chance is three, and if you fail all three times, you will lose your qualification.
However, this year's assessment has added an additional one, which cannot be upgraded.
This rule makes seven of the nine people face like bitter melons, and the dagger contains less energy, which is best controlled in all equipment.
You can't upgrade the dagger, so what else are they going to test.
Zaro also had a solemn face. After careful consideration, he chose the one-star agile loafers, a piece of equipment that he had upgraded many times, and the success rate barely reached forty percent, and if he was not too lucky, he would not fail.
"You can't upgrade the dagger, do you think Zaro can do it?" Elder Bell, the Enchanter's Guild, asked Vice-President Abi.
Abi, who was Zaro's teacher, touched his smooth chin and smiled confidently, "At least sixty percent sure." ”
Bell shook his head with a wry smile, his old face wrinkled into walnuts, "I'm afraid that both of you have apprentices who can pass the test this time, and I have nothing to gain." ”
Latin smiled, "No matter how difficult the exam question is, Alice has no problem, wait to see what my little apprentice chooses." ”
Alice's expression didn't change significantly after hearing the rules of this competition, and after a little thought, she chose the one-star intelligence cloak.
Her choice is also very ordinary - the Intelligence Cloak, the one-star Intelligence Cloak, the one-star Agility Loafers, and the One-Star Power Glove are all relatively easy equipment to handle.
The president squinted his little eyes and looked at his precious apprentice, this choice surprised him, with this girl's temperament, he should choose a more difficult one, such as a one-star iron branch. Or even opt for a one-star recovery ring.
However, then, Alice only took three one-star intelligence cloaks out, did she want to use three pieces of equipment to complete the upgrade? That's a lot of confidence.
In terms of energy control alone, Alice's level is gradually approaching that of a first-level enchanter.
……
It wasn't until after one o'clock in the afternoon that Gu Nansheng, who had had lunch, wandered into the hall where the apprentice enchanter was assessed.
At this time, the examination room was silent, and when Gu Nansheng pushed the door, the sound of Hushu rubbing was particularly harsh.
The apprenticeship enchanter assessment is a long process, and it usually takes more than a dozen or even twenty hours for an enchanter to upgrade a piece of equipment, during which time the mental power may be overdrawn many times, and then recovered through meditation.
Even Alice, who is a master of energy control, is no exception. At this time, dense beads of sweat had begun to ooze from her forehead. Although her strength is strong, she is still a little reluctant to complete the upgrade with only three intelligence cloaks.
Gu Nansheng looked at the nine people present, seven of them were already pale, sitting on the futon to meditate and regain their spiritual power, it was only four or five hours, and their spiritual power was overdrawn, and this spiritual power was too weak.
Energy breaks every four or five hours, and it's hell to be able to synthesize equipment.
Just after Gu Nansheng walked into the door, Dika opened his eyes suddenly, and two rays of light that seemed to be substantial fell on Gu Nansheng's body. "Mr. Gu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Nansheng smiled kindly, "Master Dika, it's been a long time. ”
Hearing Gu Nansheng's voice, the light and shadow master hurriedly aimed the light and shadow gem at Gu Nansheng, and Gu Nansheng's figure suddenly appeared on the big screen in the square, today's protagonists are not the nine enchanter apprentices, but Mr. Nan and Master Dika.
And the only person in Biluo City who can contact Mr. Nan is Gu Nansheng.
At that time, in the Jones family martial arts arena, there were not many people who could see Gu Nansheng's appearance at close range, and people were just beginning to wonder who this kid appeared on the big screen, and the bearded man began to shout at the top of his voice, "Ya Gu Nansheng, you can be regarded as a bad breed, you can be regarded as jumping out, I always look at these nine little hairy children meditating and chanting, Lao Tzu and his ** are about to soar!" ”
Gu Nansheng? People began to get excited, they rushed to the square early today, just to see Master Dekka and Mr. Nan, and the appearance of Gu Nansheng, does it mark that Mr. Nan is finally going to appear?
The host was also excited, he was almost asleep sitting in the chair, no matter how good the host was, and the host who could adjust the atmosphere, he couldn't say anything to the seven enchanter's apprentices who had been sitting on the futon and meditating motionless for an hour.
"Hello everyone, let me introduce to you, the person on the screen is Mr. Gu who defeated the Cataclysm Legion. A month ago, Mr. Gu personally promised that Mr. Nan would attend this top showdown between enchanters, so let's wait and see. The host took a sip of water and said into the magic megaphone, his voice deep.
"Mr. Gu, has Mr. Nan arrived?" Dika stood up and stared at Gu Nansheng with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
The three major enchanters of the Beluo City Enchanters Guild also looked at Gu Nansheng, among them, the vice president Abi's expression was quite exciting, and he still remembered the mess when he fainted because of the conversation between the kid in front of him and Aizaro.
President Radin smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, if Mr. Nan comes, you can notify him that the game has started." ”
"Yes, it's time to go." Gu Nansheng smiled meaningfully and made a gesture of please, "Then Master Deka, please come to the stage first." ”
Dika frowned, what does this mean, is it possible for me to wait for him? Although Mr. Nan's enchantment skills are indeed high, it seems that he is not qualified to let a second-level enchanter wait for him.
