Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Magical Talent Test Stone
The Fat King, who is currently the most prominent Fedora in Scotland. The Prince of Tudor, who had condescended to a little-known frontier town, had two main public purposes.
One is to baptize Miss Emily, and the other is to test her with a magical talent test stone, showing King Keller's love for his people.
There's a question in Dundee that everyone wants to know the answer to, and that's what Miss Emily's magical talent is.
As a knight of glory, Count Jonad has no less than 70 moles of magic cells in his head. It is also said that his wife Knightley has also been tested for her magical talent, which shows that her magical talent is higher than that of the old man.
From experience (people didn't know there were genes at the time), their child Emily was at least qualified to become a trainee magician, if not so talented.
In light of this, Earl Jonad found her an elemental mage from Glasgow City as a mentor when her daughter was very young. But at the age of twelve, she still hadn't activated her first magic.
After the elemental mage, whose name had been obscured, decided that Emily would never become a qualified mage's apprentice, the eldest lady became the laughing stock of the streets at the time.
It was Jonad who used the power of politics and joined forces with the Gregorian magistrates to bring the matter to rest.
The higher-ups of the Robertson family are puzzled, but they still don't give up on the eldest lady, and they really can't tolerate the fact that the only future heir of the family has no magical talent.
Originally, the lord was looking up and down, hoping that the palace minister would be able to convince King Keller to lend the test stone to test Emily's talent.
But no one in the Scottish royal family dared to risk damaging the test stone and took it to Dundee, a city full of thieves and villains, and even the elves of the dark forest who snooped in the shadows. You must know that there are only three test spirit stones in the entire European continent.
I don't know what reason, after Prince Fedora volunteered to make a package ticket, King Keller finally agreed to lend the test stone to the Robertson family, which was regarded as giving Fedora a lot of face.
After the baptism, Emily's testing will take place in the Hanging Gardens Chamber at Celtic Castle. Count Jonad didn't dare to let the test stone leak in front of the citizens, there would be too many uncertainties.
Of course, there is a more meaning that he is deeply afraid that his daughter's test results will be unsatisfactory, and the future of the family will inevitably be overshadowed.
Unexpectedly, Count Jonad and Prince Fedora allowed the main knights of the Robertson family to observe the test, including the red man in the eyes of the prince, and the punishment knight Dai Lan.
The chamber is surrounded by seamless walls, and there are no windows. Only a few fine ventilation holes are embedded in the corners of the wall, so that the interior is not stuffy.
The flame of the pine branch oil lamp on the wall danced back and forth with the breath of the crowd, as if a dancer with a great figure twisted her waist, revealing a bit of evil spirit.
Everyone didn't speak, and their eyes fell on the eldest lady's fists.
Emily's eyes were solemn and her expression was serious, staring intently at a jet-black stone in front of her.
The stone sits upright on a large solid wood table. It is the size of a football ball, blackened throughout, rectangular in shape, and has several corners that are extremely polished and elegant. If you look closely, it glows with a faint blue glow.
When Dai Lan saw it, his heart was shocked: it turned out that this was a holy object in the magic world, the magic talent test stone.
The eldest lady had a pious and hopeful face on her face, and it could be seen from her somewhat trembling arms that she was still not confident about the results of her test.
Old Gerard's butler came over, tapped Emily twice on the shoulder, and said with infinite kindness, "God has given us life. No matter how much magical talent there is, it is God's will. Miss, don't be afraid, concentrate on hitting that stone with all your strength. ”
With Gerald's encouragement, Emily relaxed a lot. Secretly exerting all his strength, he concentrated on his slender arm, and suddenly struck out a palm like a lightning speed, hitting the surface of the black spirit stone firmly.
"Smack!"
A muffled sound came. A golden glow flashed on the black stone, slowly spreading, long spider-like lines covering the surface of the test stone.
After a short time, the color of the spirit stone began to change, from red to yellow and then to blue-purple. The colors then alternate as if they were being scanned.
All the high-ranking and knights of the Robertson family stared intently at the color of the stone, and a layer of cold sweat also broke out on Earl Jonad's forehead, and he didn't know where to stay at the end.
Dai Lan looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but move. Could it be that different colors represent different magical talents? Having studied spectroscopy in the 21st century, Dai Lan is familiar with the relationship between the color and energy of light.
In the visible range, red light has a longer wavelength and the lowest energy. This is followed by yellow, green and blue. Purple light, on the other hand, has the highest energy.
The material of this magic test stone should have a certain amount of absorption of various energy ranges, and then gradually scan the range of energy emitted by the tester. When the energy resonates, the corresponding color is displayed.
The science is relatively simple, but the absorption spectrum spans the entire visible range of materials, which is really difficult to find.
While Dai Lan was still trying to fully understand the mechanism of the test stone, he heard a long sigh. When he looked up, the color of the stone had stopped at a bright red.
Wang Fatzi was also stunned, and then said very dejectedly: "According to the results of the test stone, Emily. Robertson's magical talent, less than 40 moles ......"
Everyone knows that the threshold for an apprenticeship of a magician is 40 moles.
Miss Emily was dizzy and almost fell, but the James Knight beside her hurriedly gave her a hand.
The eldest lady's face turned pale, she tried her best to control her voice, and nodded to Wang Fatzi: "There is Cousin Labordora." I really shouldn't have asked you to come all the way for someone as useless as me. ”
Wang Fatzi smiled awkwardly, and his usual sharp mouth couldn't say a word of comfort now.
As a veteran statesman, Earl Jonad immediately showed his calm side, turned his head slightly, and whispered to Gerald's old butler: "Whoever you want to leak out of today's affairs will be executed immediately." ”
Gerald nodded expressionlessly, his gaze scraping back and forth over the knights' faces like two knives.
Dai Lan frowned, cleared his throat, and quickly said to Murray in his mind in Huaxia Chinese: "Check the talent of the eldest lady again!" ”
Dai Lan felt his head heat up, and Murray's voice came: "It's weird. The results of my probing were completely different. The eldest lady's magical talent can at least catch up with a referee magician! ”
With a long sigh, Dai Lan's infinitely gentle gaze looked at the frightened and helpless Emily lovingly for the first time.
He said lightly in his heart: "I must find out what the hell is going on." ”
