Chapter 3: The Magician
Time passed bit by bit, and Rowan's body trembled more and more, but he still didn't wake up.
The middle-aged man was very calm at first, this kid's mental strength was very high, and he should be very sure of his qualifications as a high-level magician, but after five minutes, the middle-aged man began to be surprised, and after ten minutes, the middle-aged man had already begun to touch his chin, and by fifteen minutes, he had already begun to get excited.
"I didn't expect that a horse boy and servant in the Viscount's Mansion actually had such a tenacious will, according to this extent, it is already equivalent to the spiritual power of an ordinary higher apprentice, not bad, not bad, this year I can also have a genius in Sakura Mountain City, overpowering Yorkshire. β
The middle-aged man walked back and forth excitedly while watching, I don't know how many years, I haven't seen such a genius.
Twenty minutes later, as the light of the magic array became brighter and brighter, when it was about to reach a certain critical point, all the light suddenly disappeared, and the room returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened, everything just now was like a dream, at this time, Luo Wen, who was sitting on the chair, seemed to have lost all consciousness and slipped off the chair, his body was full of sweat, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, and Rowan's body did not slip, as if he was being helped, and sat down on the stool again.
The middle-aged man looked at Luo Wen, and his heart was indescribably happy, "With the city lord's mansion and the little guy from Rosellef, I have four good seedlings in Sakura Mountain City this year, and it seems that this year's task will be overfulfilled." β
I don't know how much time has passed, Rowan slowly opened his eyes, but his face was still very pale.
Looking at Luo Wen's open eyes, the middle-aged man's flat expression slowly bloomed with a smile, "I am Steven, the director of the Sakura Mountain City Magic Institute, you can call me Steven, or you can call me the director, Rowan, your test was successful, from today onwards, you can come over to study every Saturday and Sunday, I will help you go through the admission procedures, I believe that Lord Daley will not refuse." His face revealed a strong sense of confidence and domineering.
Rowan felt a splitting headache, but even if he had a trace of reason left, he began to be ecstatic at this time, damn, I really have the potential of a magician, is that strange test scheme just now to test mental power, it's really amazing, I don't know what the principle is, it's really strange.
He didn't have the strength to think about other things at this time, and after a little run of his brain, he subconsciously nodded violently, "Yes, Steven, director." β
Steven nodded, very satisfied with Rowan's performance, and said, "The spiritual power of ordinary people is about 0.5 to 1.5, and the entry level of magic apprentices requires mental power to be above 3, and your spiritual power is actually six points, which has greatly exceeded that of an ordinary apprentice magic apprentice, according to the regulations of the Magic Institute, if you are not a slave, you can naturally join our magic union, and the union will train you to become a real magician, and as a reward, you will join the magic guild in the future." The Magic Guild is the union with the largest number of magicians in this world, so you don't need to be afraid of no one to guide you in the future. Oh, by the way, your information Viscount Daley has been sent, and you have met the conditions for joining our Magic Guild, are you willing to join? In fact, if you don't want to, our Magic Guild will also teach you to complete the introduction of magicians, but after you reach the junior magician, we will no longer provide relevant information, you need to find out on your own. β
"I understand, Lord Steven. Rowan straightened up and said directly, "I am willing to join the Magic Guild." β
Steven's heart blossomed, but his face remained silent and said, "Okay, with you this year, we have four seedlings in Sakura Mountain City, as long as you study hard and enter the junior magician stage at the end of the year, then I will personally give you a storage bag." β
For becoming a magician, Rowan is not unprepared, when he really becomes a magician, he is still quite expectant, the origin of magicians in this world has always been very mysterious, there are all kinds of legends, whether it is identity or status, it has always been on the samurai, so after knowing that after becoming a magician, Rowan was quietly relieved.
Although in the past few years, he had to sell his body and soul for a living, groveling, before he awakened his memory, this kind of slave-like life has become the norm, and he still has to rely on this life, but after awakening his memory, Rowan doesn't want to do this kind of work again, at least with his own knowledge in this world, if he is still a horse boy, it is too cheap.
Steven's strength is very terrifying, at least in Rowan's opinion, it is very terrifying, from the beginning of entering the door, it is a cold and unapproachable image, when the test comes out of the magic qualification, Steven's attitude as the director has changed dramatically, the next hour, Rowan fully felt what is called changing face, what is called eagerness, although he thinks it is very strange, because the identity of a senior magician is still quite powerful, there is no need to treat him like this, is he really a so-called geniusγ
Of course, Rowan himself would not consider himself a genius, this spiritual strength comes from his own experience in two lives, not a real talent, maybe a little talent, but definitely not all.
He listened very carefully, and under the explanation of Steven, a cheap tutor, a door to magic slowly opened for Rowan.
Before this, Rowan's understanding of magicians only lies in the legendary stories, how mysterious magicians are, how magicians use methods to reach the sky, stones are golden, and stealth techniques are commonplace, and when he really comes into contact with magicians, Rowan really has a little understanding of this profession.
Almost similar to those YY novels in the previous life, in this high-energy world, there are wonderful high-energy particles, which are fully dispersed in every corner, and people in this world call this high-energy particles magical elements.
The samurai relies on the physical body to absorb the magic elements, strengthen the body itself, and practice a thing called fighting qi, which is similar to the Taoist gangqi, while the magician takes the path of resonance between the spirit and the magic element, and exercises the spiritual power, after the junior magician, the magic element can also be pulled into the body, but there is no samurai's practice that has a great impact on the body.
In addition to fighting with the samurai system, the magician can use the spirit and magic elements to resonate with the playability, the samurai of the same level are often not opponents at all, and the other derivative systems of the mage are also more powerful, often making people unguardable, such as bacteria, such as all kinds of poisons, and all kinds of war puppets, these are all the research categories of magicians.
Rowan feels that the magician is more like a scientist, but he also likes it, he was an engineer in his previous life, and this lifestyle may be more suitable for him.
For a whole hour, Rowan listened dizzily, until the end, with two books, in addition to the cherry blossom gate, was blown by the wind outside, and felt that he was really living in this world, and then looked at the two books in his hand, and it took half a day to correct his thoughts and come back to his senses.
He didn't look at the two books, but according to the previous practice, he returned to the Viscount's Mansion all the way, there are some things, he has to guard against, and as a person who has come over, he understands the concept of unpredictable people's hearts, and it is better to keep a low profile now.
"It turns out that reincarnation is also to be reincarnated, I was a bitter character in my last life, but I became the protagonist as soon as I turned around in this life, hahahaha. β
As soon as he walked to the door, Luo Wen was about to say hello, but he saw that the two guards who were usually arrogant lowered their usually noble heads, and said in unison, "Young Master Luo Wen, welcome back, Lord Viscount is waiting for you in the living room." β
Rowan was startled, he glanced at the two of them carefully, yes, it was still the two people in the morning, and when he looked at it again, he finally found the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the two, as well as a trace of reluctance.
"Logically, they wouldn't know, did the magic institute already notify them? You know, he just finished the test, and it's only been two hours now!"
However, he still saluted the two of them according to his usual habits and said, "Thank you two." β
The guard hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." β
Rowan felt a little weird, but he didn't say anything, and slowly walked in, ready to go to the front yard.
The Viscount's Mansion is divided into the front yard and the backyard, and the servants in the backyard rarely go to the front yard, because the main role of the front yard is to be responsible for entertaining distinguished guests, and there are special servants and maids, and there is no need for these lowly people in their backyard, especially the horse boy like Rowan, who has only been to one or two times in the past three or four years, so he has been very strange along the way, but when he came to the front yard, he saw the backyard steward who stayed at the door, the dark shadow in the night, and the old housekeeper that all the slave servants in the backyard were afraid of.
The old butler's name is Howard, he is very tall, with a cold face, and his whole body reveals an incomparably majestic aura, although this does not represent his own strength, but it is a real momentum, even if Rowan has become a beginner magic apprentice at the moment, seeing this steward, he still feels a chill in his heart, and he can't help but salute in the past.
"I've seen Master Howard. Rowan felt a little awkward, since he awakened his memory, he seemed to be a little repulsed by the rules of this world, but his arms couldn't reach his thighs, and he had been saluting for so many years, and he didn't care about these few years.
Howard glanced at Rowan, and sighed a little in his heart, he just followed the practice of the empire and asked this kid to try, but he didn't expect that this little guy really had the talent of a magician, which was a little incredible. Although Sakura City is not big, it has a population of 300,000, and there are only two or three teenagers with magician talent every year, and this year he was really bumped into by this kid, this luck is simple, when he thinks that this kid will become a magician admired by everyone in the future, old Howard's psychology is not a taste, but after thinking about it, this kid also walked out of their Viscount Mansion, and his psychology is much more comfortable.
He nodded, his tone eased slightly, and said, "Rowan, although you are now an apprentice magic apprentice during the internship period, you are not a real apprentice yet, you have to remember your identity, you know, when you see Lord Viscount, don't talk nonsense, what Lord Viscount says, it is what it is, you know?"
The strict hierarchy of this world has brought an extremely strong shock to Rowan, at this time, he doesn't dare to say anything, not to mention that he doesn't know magic now, even if he knows magic and does something bad, it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of this courtyard.
The title of the empire is divided into the fifth rank of duke, prince and boy, no matter which title represents a strong group strength, he represents the interests of many people and the sadness of his ancestors for more than thousands of years, and can be ranked to the second level of viscount status, this viscount Daly must not be good at stubble, just the personal guard that can recruit sixty powerful warriors under the viscount status can make him desperate.
Rowan lowered his head, "Yes, Lord Howard. β
"Come with me. β
Rowan is only thirteen years old now, not very tall, walking behind Howard's butler, if you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is another person behind him. The two of them walked through a corridor, turned left and right, and passed through a garden, and then came to the most glamorous and luxurious hall at the front, which was the hospitality hall of Viscount Daley's palace.
The hall was empty at the moment, and only a mighty and tall figure, with his back to the door, stood quietly in the middle of the hall.
When Rowan saw this figure, he suddenly thought of one thing, there are two viscounts in Sakura City, the current city lord and this Viscount Daley, and it is said that the strength of this Viscount Daley is already a senior swordsman, and his fighting spirit is already at the third level, and his strength is very strong, although his status as a viscount is inherited, but he can defeat many successors, and he has been at peace with his neighbors in all directions for so many years, and he also controls at least one-third of the shops in Sakura City, so it can be seen that this person's hard power and soft power.
Thinking of this, the little Jiujiu in Luo Wen's heart dispersed again, and he honestly followed behind Howard.
Arriving at the door of the hall, Howard said in a loud voice, "My lord, Rowan is here." β
The tall figure turned around and looked at Rowan carefully.
"I've seen adults. Rowan stepped forward, lowered his head, and then looked up at the senior warrior. I've seen it before, but I haven't really looked at this Viscount Daley.
Viscount Daley is very tall, two meters tall, dressed in a strong suit, with half a set of chain mail on the outside, a resolute face, a determined look, and a hint of literati expression combined, forming his whole style, Rowan's only evaluation of him is not to be underestimated.
Daley glanced at Luo Wen and said lightly, "Luo Wen, since you have the talent of a magician, then I don't have to salute when I see you in the future, since you have joined the magic union, then we will be considered colleagues in the future, and you and I will have to revise the employment contract, so let's do it, you are now a trainee magician during the internship period, I will give you the treatment of an ordinary guard, and when you get to the trainee magician, then you will be treated according to the captain of the guard, if you become a junior magician, then you will be treated according to the steward, what do you think?"
Although he was asking, there was no doubt about the firmness in his tone, and Rowan could only subconsciously nod.
In this world, slaves are not paid, unless you are very good among slaves, and that is only a small salary. Then there were ordinary servants, whose monthly salary was only about five silver coins, and even then was three or four times higher than those who actually lived outside. Ordinary people here are only about one or two silver coins a month, and once they become samurai and become official guards, then their salaries will immediately double again, and they will become a human being, and when they reach the position of captain of the guard, they will be twenty silver coins a month, even if they go out to eat and drink every day, they can't spend it in a month, let alone take care of things, so when they hear this news, even Luo Wen awakened the memories of his previous life and saw countless scenes of wind and waves, and he couldn't help but be moved.
The agreement he had with the Viscount Mansion was ten years, and now there are seven years left, and as long as it does not exceed this time, he is still very willing to stay in the Viscount's Mansion.
"Naturally, I followed the orders of the Viscount. Rowan nodded and said no more.
Daley actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that Rowan was a stunned young man, in case the villain got his will and rejected his suggestion, then he would have no good way to envelop this teenager, then it would be embarrassing, hearing Rowan agree, he couldn't help but show a smile at this moment and said, "Don't be nervous Rowan is now a trainee magician, and you have taken the step that others can't take, you are lucky, I am here to congratulate you in advance, welcome to the world of the strong." β
Magicians are divided into trainee magicians, junior magicians, intermediate magicians, senior magicians, magicians, archmagicians, magicians, and archmagicians.
Although his mental power has reached the standard now, he can't do a single magic, he can only be regarded as a trainee magician during the internship period, and Viscount Daley can offer him such a good condition, which is already quite generous, at this point, Rowan is already very satisfied, as for the matter of the seven-year contract, both of them seem to have subconsciously forgotten about this matter.
The people in this world attach great importance to the spirit of the contract, and no one, including the emperor of the empire, can easily violate it, so even the magic institute cannot do anything in the employment contract, no matter how far Rowan achieves in the future, he will have to serve the viscount for at least seven years now, because the contract is ten years, that is, ten years.
The change of identity, the other changes brought about are also quite large, Rowan not only jumped up to become a non-working guard in the Viscount's Mansion, but also has a fixed salary every month, as well as a separate room, these are all things that I didn't even dare to think about before, and finalized some things with Viscount Daley, old Howard took Rowan out of the hall, basically, both parties were satisfied.
