Volume 1 Lonely Arcane Road 063 Bottleneck on
The Coral Crown has been identified as having an equipment level of 63, which is even better than the ring, but it has an additional equipment requirement: it requires a Rune Mark of the Lord of Akoran.
In other words, Charlie can't use this equipment, and the store has the ability to transform the equipment, but the transformation cost is expensive, and there is a risk of attribute downgrading, so it is better to transfer it directly to the store.
After some haggling, Charlie sold the Hailan Stone and the Coral Crown to the boss in exchange for 1300 points, and by the way, the appraisal fee was waived.
At this point, all the proceeds of the freshman activity season have been processed, and Charlie has gained more than 2,100 points, so he has to think carefully about how to spend it, but don't worry about it for the time being, wait until he gets the gold badge.
Before leaving, Charlie asked the name of the owner, his name was Benjamin Constance, one of the owners of the shop, a high jeweler, appraiser, and part-time teacher of the second-year magic pattern construction course.
If there is a chance, Zha Ideal asks him for knowledge of magic patterns, but he can't open his mouth at the moment, he hasn't even entered the door, and it's in vain to say it.
Benjamin's daughter's name is Yuri, she is a second-year soldier, she is an agile warrior, and she usually studies equipment appraisal with him, and it is obvious that her hobby is not here, but she likes to deal with people.
Yuli smiled: "Junior brother, come to our store directly if you have equipment and materials in the future! You are now a big customer!"
"Okay, consider your family as soon as you have a harvest. ”
With that, Charlie left the points market.
Charlie now has four pieces of equipment of the highest grade: the Staff of Deadwood, the Tassel Boots, the Cloak of Magic of Britz, and the Ring of the Akoran Torrent, plus he is good at many types of beginner magic, and this strength has faintly entered the top ranks among the freshmen.
But Charlie still has no sense of security, in the Sogo Shoal, he has seen the fish-man lord's "tracking lightning arrow" against him, almost killed him, and also seen Peter's blow to kill the fish-man lord in seconds, "Celestial Blade", these transcendent levels of power make him feel afraid and powerless, unable to resist, if Peter directly took out the scroll against himself that day, I am afraid Charlie's career will be over.
Personal magic can be accumulated slowly, and there is no possibility of reaching the sky in one step, but he must master a higher level of magic, at least break through the shackles of the current level 3 magic, and figure out what is the reason for this bottleneck that is bothering him.
Cha Li has arrived at Master Nar, he has no class today, and hopes to find him in the Mage Tower.
Like many mentors, a group of apprentices, both male and female, looked at the badges, and some were second-year students.
This is a common phenomenon, the Arcane Ring has always had no shortage of active apprentices, and asking questions is considered to be one of the cheapest "speculative methods", if you ask questions at a good level, satisfy your mentor, and see your potential, you may get more opportunities, so it is gradually becoming a common practice for apprentices to harass their mentors, especially among low-level apprentices.
Charlie made his way through the crowd, placed his badge in the alchemy device, and when it had finished recording its identity, he said a simple word of inquiry to the magic recorder.
A bespectacled student beside Charlie chuckled lightly and said loudly: "Tiezhang apprentice, still a freshman, has only been in school for a month, and is thinking about speculation, is it too early? Junior brother, you should meditate with peace of mind! Lay a solid foundation and then talk about it!"
One sentence immediately caught the attention of the apprentices around him.
"Yes! How many spells have you memorized?Have you learned Stonehuls?Has your mana broken three digits?Brother, think more about business!"
"I feel so stressed that even the first-graders are on the road like that! I think I didn't know about this until the end of the first-year year. ”
The small-eyed senior smiled and pulled Charlie aside, and said, "Junior brother, your method is wrong, how can it be so easy for you to make an appointment with the teacher?"
How busy is the master all day long, researching topics, meditating, processing materials, preparing lessons, and eager to split his time in half to use, how can he have time to pay attention to so many apprentices who have asked to visit.
Especially like you, I want to ask you a question, regardless of your attitude, do you think the teacher will take care of you? Your badge is not crystal-like, right?"
Charlie nodded, "Makes sense." ”
"That's right, how to ask questions is learned! You see I'll give you an example: The student has been studying the relationship between magic spells and the frequency of mental vibrations recently, and he has gained some questions, and he wants to ask the teacher to solve his doubts?"
Charlie watched him analyze with great interest, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Yes! The senior really knows some ways!"
"Of course, we must know that magic spells are closely related to the frequency of mental vibrations, just for example, this is called 'tickling style', if you want to learn, there are more and more advanced moves in it, as long as you learn a few of them, I will guarantee you to get the favor of the teacher within a week, this is the summary of the seniors of the past. ”
Charlie couldn't bear to disturb him when he saw him talking, and asked, "Then how can I learn these moves?"
"'Tickle Three Styles' only costs 5 points, 'Tickle Three Styles' plus 'Advanced Five Questions' is worth 10 points, and if you want to learn the full set of tricks, you need 25 points. You have just finished participating in the freshman activity season, you should have some points to spare, right? Generally speaking, one event is basically not enough to collect the points to spend in the points market, right? ”
Seeing that Charlie seemed to be hesitating, the small-eyed senior struck while the iron was hot, and said: "You are a long-term investment, if you can win the favor of the teacher, you may be able to save a few hundred points to buy the cost of the course, don't lose a lot because of a small one?"
At this moment, an arcane golem floated out of the magic tower, and the summoning voice of Master Nar sounded: "Charlie, come in!"
Suddenly, the apprentices around the door of the magic tower were excited, thinking that they didn't know which lucky person succeeded in attracting the teacher's interest, and it might be a good story of the fate of master and apprentice, and tomorrow I am afraid that this news will become a hot topic of discussion among many students!
Students, you look at me, I look at you, all looking for the man who is called Charlie.
Charlie pretended to hesitate, "Huh, is the teacher now favoring abstract streams?"
The small-eyed senior was dumbfounded and asked, "Are you Charlie?"
Charlie nodded and replied, "Well, let's not talk about it yet, I'll go in and have a look." ”
After the arcane golem tested Charlie's badge, he led him through the magic ban and disappeared at the entrance of the mage tower, leaving behind a group of stunned apprentices, who watched how Charlie passed the verification, and because they had seen it in its entirety, they were amazed and began to wonder if the pleasing strategy they had been studying was a mistake.
A voice suddenly appeared in the crowd: "Charlie's name is so familiar!"
"Oh! I know, isn't the current first-place freshman point called Charlie! I heard that this guy is a fierce man who killed 17 gold medal apprentices with one slap!"
"Oh! No wonder! No wonder the teacher is willing to see him, the strength is here!"
"Yes! I'm excited for a long time!"
Soon, the Arcane Golem took Charlie to Master Nar's workshop, and Charlie glanced at it casually and saw a layer of scratch paper on the Master's desk, covered with various symbols and formulas, and seemed to be calculating a puzzle.
Nar put down the pen in his hand and said straightly, "What questions do you want to ask?"
So, Charlie described the strange situation of groping for fourth-level magic, saying that he had hit a bottleneck and couldn't figure it out.
Hearing this, Nar smiled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect you to hit the bottleneck so quickly, that's right! Now that the equipment is too mature, it will speed up this process, and when I am an apprentice, to touch this bottleneck, at least I have to expand my personal mana pool to 1,000 units." ”
Charlie couldn't help but ask curiously, "When did the teacher do the apprenticeship?"
"About two hundred years ago!"
Charlie couldn't help but smack his tongue, this is an experience that earthlings have never had.
Nar restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Let's get down to business, to be honest, I'm disappointed that you asked this bottleneck question." ”
Charlie was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"Because it's common sense, didn't your enlightenment teacher tell you?"
Charlie smiled and said, "To be honest, I only started to learn about magic three months ago, and my first apprenticeship was more than a month ago, and the teacher recommended me to the Arcane Ring before he started teaching me. ”
If that's the reason, it's understandable. Nar bowed slightly, but his eyes flashed with disbelief, "However, it is unbelievable that you can master so much magic in just three months. ”
Charlie said unceremoniously: "My strength is super mental strength and memory ability. ”
"Okay, then I'll help you popularize common sense, not just bottlenecks. ”
"I can't ask for it!" Charlie looked excited, sat upright, and began to listen.
"It is a tradition inherited from the Wagland continent that magicians are divided into ten levels, in which the first to third levels are junior magicians, the fourth to sixth levels are advanced magicians, the seventh to ninth levels are great magicians, the tenth level is the mage, and beyond the tenth level are collectively called the great mages.
As the civilization of magic progressed, this method of evaluation began to highlight its flaws, it was too crude, the new magic was incomplete, and it could not explain the effect of supermagic skills on the level of magic.
So, as the magic temple of the continent, the Arcane Ring has begun to experiment with new ways of grading......"
Charlie couldn't help but ask, "Do you mean the stars, the bright moon, and the sun mage?"
"No!no!!
The new rating method is still being studied, and the project I'm working on is part of the rating project, which will encompass talent, bloodline, personal attributes, magical abilities, and real combat effectiveness, and hopefully we'll ditch the nominal rank and replace it with numbers. ”
Isn't that just quantifying personal data?!
Relatively speaking, Charlie has been at the forefront, the chip is based on the Princeson rule, has initially established an evaluation system, and is still improving, if Charlie can participate in this plan, it will greatly supplement the chip database, so that the Forest coefficient is more accurate.
Thinking of this, Charlie couldn't help but throw out some bait, and he said with a straight face: "Very good! I think this direction is very meaningful, quantifying personal data, and you can estimate your personal strength more accurately in the future."
So, is it possible to define a data standard for ordinary people first?
For example, how much strength he has, what his mental power is, what is his elemental affinity value, and then test his power to release magic, we record these basic data as ordinary standards.
In this way, the value of each person can be calculated uniformly by comparison......"
As Charlie spoke, Nall paused, his eyes wandering, and an energetic fluctuation interrupted Charlie's statement.
A smile welled up at the corner of Charlie's mouth, and he knew that the bait might have worked, and Master Nar was thinking fiercely.
