Chapter 2 Hacking
"Hermit-sama..."
Char was surprised to hear the bartender address him.
Char's face was shrouded in a mist, and no one saw his surprised expression.
It was clear that in addition to the black bartender, the other people in the tavern knew themselves.
In this place, he seems to be a respected big man.
"However, how can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy be a big man." Char laughed to himself, sat down at the bar, and nodded slightly to the bartender, like a polite response from a regular customer.
"Hermit-sama, the last time you visited the Wizard's Bar was a few months ago. I thought you would say goodbye as you did before. The black bartender bowed slightly, saluted Char, and said respectfully: "No matter what, it's good that you can come back!" Your servant, Bob, is always at your service. ”
Char was about to talk to Bob and extract more information from his mouth when the black-robed wizards in the bar suddenly let out an exclamation and stood up, their faces frightened, their eyes fixed on Char's back.
Char turned around and found that at some point, a young woman in a red robe appeared behind him.
The robe on her body emitted a crimson shimmer, and the light appeared and disappeared, revealing her graceful figure for a while, and covering it tightly. She wears a crimson wizard hat, long red hair like sunset scattered on her shoulders as soft as white jade, her facial features are exquisite, like a work of art, the beauty is suffocating, and her burgundy eyes seem to have a breathtaking magic.
"The Scarlet Witch..."
The black-robed wizards in the tavern seemed to be very afraid of this beautiful red-robed witch, paid for the drink, waved their wands, and their bodies dissipated directly, fleeing the bar.
"A bunch of cowards. I am not a rare hunter of you. I've found the best prey. ”
The Red Witch licked her sexy lips, stepped up to Char, and said respectfully, "Lord Hermit, not long ago, a newcomer applied for permission from Shadow Street. We are going to hold a wizard qualification review and need a respected wizard as a witness. Can it take up some of your precious time? I promise, it won't be too long, maybe just a few minutes. ”
"Wizard qualification?" Char groaned.
He couldn't remember anything about the past, and he didn't know anything about wizarding qualifications.
Obviously, Char used to be a person of extremely high status.
The Red Witch, who everyone else is very jealous of, is also very respectful to Char.
Char had enough authority to refuse the Scarlet Witch's request.
However, if the wizard's qualification review is the "hermit's business", then his rash refusal is likely to arouse the suspicion of the Red Witch.
Although Char had forgotten the past, he had a faint feeling that if he aroused the suspicion of the Red Witch, it would lead to extremely serious consequences.
"Just a witness?" Char said lightly.
"Of course! Including me, there are three wizards from the Wizarding Council, who are in charge of the qualifications. You only need to witness the qualification review to ensure impartiality. You can also interfere with this review if you wish. The Scarlet Witch lowered her wizard's hat slightly, and her beautiful eyes flashed like stars.
"Why not?" Char thought for a moment and nodded.
"You promised?"
A flash of joy appeared on the beautiful face of the Red Witch, and with a wave of her hand, a brilliant red glow flew out from under the red robe, turning into a crimson vortex that enveloped Char and herself.
In the next moment, Char found himself in a towering magic tower.
This magic tower is extremely magnificent, the walls are decorated with intricate and exquisite carvings, and the dome is four or five hundred meters high, and it seems that countless stars are shining brightly.
Space is powerful, standing at the bottom of the magic tower, the huge space brings people like a real pressure, people can't help but hold their breath and feel awe.
However, the person standing under the magic tower was not Char, but a young man with brown hair.
He was dressed in a gray robe, and his appearance was handsome, and his facial features were like marble sculptures. He looked a little nervous, his right hand subconsciously clutched the cuff, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
Char stood in the middle of the Magic Tower, a hundred meters above the ground.
The Red Witch and the other three wizards appeared in the four stands below Char, raised their heads, took off their wizard hats with their left hands, put their right hands on their chests, bent down, saluted Char, and said respectfully, "Hermit." ”
"Hermit-sama?"
The young man at the bottom was a little excited when he heard Char's title, and after being stunned for a moment, he woke up like a dream and hurriedly saluted Char.
"Let's get started."
Char closed his eyes, seemingly indifferent to this wizard qualification review.
"Salutation." The sweet voice of the Scarlet Witch resounded in the magic tower.
"Merlin." After a few seconds, the young man reacted and quickly replied.
"Merlin, you should know the rules of wizards. For wizards, your name is equivalent to your life. If you let other wizards know your name, then only death awaits you. The Red Witch was a little helpless, "Even if it's your most lame third-rate wizard, don't use your own name as a title." I promise you won't survive tomorrow. ”
"Merlin is my title, not my real name. It was the name of a true wizard from the Second Age. Merlin argued.
"Wizard..."
Char whispered the title.
Maybe there were wizards in the real world. However, in the online virtual world, there can never be a wizard in the traditional sense.
"And what does the wizard of the virtual world represent?" Char had a wry smile on her face.
Char used to be a wizard, a revered great witch. But now he didn't even know the true meaning of a wizard, but he sat high up in the position of the great witch, looking down on all beings, but his head was empty.
However, Char knew that as long as he figured out the true meaning of wizarding, many doubts in his mind would be solved.
"Merlin." The Scarlet Witch frowned slightly and continued, "What is the Wizard's Creed? ”
"Seek the truth." Merlin replied immediately.
The Scarlet Witch nodded slightly, satisfied with Merlin's answer.
"The truth is meaningless." Char couldn't help but think of his hoarse madness in his mind, and a chill swept through his body again.
"Titles and creeds are things that shamans must uphold and defend. The last item of the wizard qualification test, ability. A wand appeared in the Scarlet Witch's right hand, and with a gentle dance, the ruby at the tip of the wand shone brightly.
Merlin saw three red Rubik's cubes.
The three Rubik's cubes are one square meter in size and are made up of countless small squares. Each small square has the number "0" and "1" flashing, like stars shining, deep and mysterious.
Char stared at the three Rubik's Cubes, which seemed to have unimaginable magical powers, attracting his gaze, as if to pull his soul into it.
"Three data cubes, three programs, three puzzles. Solving these three puzzles means that you have passed the wizard qualification exam. The smile of the Red Witch was intoxicating, and she sat on a high platform like a goddess for the first time.
"Cracked program? Hacker! ”
Char guessed the true meaning of a wizard in the virtual world.
