Chapter 794: The Mage's Path (Monthly Pass 600 Plus Update)
Buzzing!
A bright white glow burst directly from the ring on Leylin's hand.
The blinding white light even caused a momentary blinding effect in front of the eyes of Baron Jones, who was caught off guard next to him.
"Haha...... Very good! Kid! Thunderlin! You're doing a great job!"
By the time Baron Jonas rubbed his reddened and tearful eyes, and had managed to break free from the blinding effects of the Luminosity, he saw a mage who was already a little overwhelmed by the excitement.
The gods are above!Jonas rubbed his eyes again, looking at Ernest in disbelief.
Was this the same mage he had known before? As we all know, mages are both wise and calm, and it is rare for them to have an expression that can make them lose their faces, let alone be so excited that they are at a loss.
"Ernest ...... What do you mean...... Thunderlin, has he passed the test?"
But Jonas also didn't care about other thoughts, and from the other party's expression, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Sure, his talent is probably the best in the Mage Guild, and even my mentor will be jealous ......of me for accepting such an excellent apprentice."
Ernest slowly calmed down his mood and said solemnly to Jonas:
"Jonas, my friend, I must tell you responsibly that your child, Leylin, has a great talent in the path of a mage! Even now, his mental strength is far beyond that of his peers, as long as he is given the right guidance. I believe that it is even possible for him to break through to the realm of the archmage, and even ......"
Ernest's body began to twitch a little unconsciously.
"Alright! Alright! Would you like to take a child as an apprentice?"
"Of course, why not?" Ernest had now taken Leylin as his mantle student, and was afraid that Jonas would force his hand even if he didn't want to.
"That's great. I'm going to announce the good news to everyone else and have a celebration!"
Jonas's face was filled with red light.
The fact that the young master of the Faolan family was accepted as an apprentice by a powerful spellcaster would definitely greatly enhance the status and influence of the Faolan family in the kingdom.
Jonas was already a little impatient, "So, are there any procedures or tuition fees for Leylin's apprenticeship?"
"We can talk about that later, but please give us a little personal time for now......"
Ernest waved his hand politely, and an invisible force pushed Jonas out, and the door closed automatically.
"Don't be surprised, it's just the effect of the [Mage's Hand]. It's just a mage's trick!"
Ernest turned around, soothing the little one in front of him with what he thought was the kindest smile on his face.
"Yes...... Yes, sir!"
Lei Lin shrank as if he was a little scared, but there was a hidden depth in his eyes: "Chip, has it been recorded?"
[The opponent's spell casting process has been recorded, and the data is being stored!] The chip quickly gave a response.
"Good, though, this kind of spell ability?" Leylin clearly sensed the difference in the other party, the almost instantaneous effect. In the wizarding world, it is a skill that many high-level wizards need to practice for a long time.
"No! it's not the instantaneous ability of spells, it gives me the feeling that the other party has already prepared and stored the spells. and then use specific gestures and commands to activate the pattern......"
After all, Lei Lin was also an expert in spells himself, and he immediately saw through the operation of this mode.
"It's not clear yet, but it seems that this is how the gods cast their spells, compared to the wizarding world. There seems to be a lot of difference......"
"This ...... Is this a spell?" the childish child's voice trembled and had a little indescribable curiosity.
"Yes! It's a spell! You can trigger the forces of nature!"
Ernest rubbed his hands together, and a flame appeared out of thin air. It took on the shape of a bird, a small man, and then suddenly dispersed into a small firework.
Seeing that he had successfully aroused the curiosity and envy of the little one, the corners of Ernist's mouth showed a smug smile.
Yes, with a slight movement of your fingers, you can seduce powerful forces, and you don't need to be like those physical professions such as warriors, like fools who are bleeding and sweating, full of vulgarity and violence.
In addition, even the lowest-level mages can earn a lot of money by copying scrolls and participating in alchemy enchantments.
Compared with the kind of profession that only inferior people choose, it is obvious that the mysterious and noble profession of mage can attract the hearts of children even more.
Ernest thought very well about himself, of course, the terrifying cost and harsh talent conditions in the mage learning process were selectively ignored by the other party.
"So...... Can I become a mage?"
Finally, Ernest's ears came with some apprehensive words, which made Ernest feel as if he had floated up to the clouds.
"Of course, my child, you have the talent to be a good mage, and I, Burning Shadow Ernest, would like to be your guide on the path of a mage!"
Ernest tried to make himself as serious as possible.
"But...... I must also remind you that although you have amazing talents, you must also put in far more effort than ordinary people, and the path of a mage does not allow for the slightest slack......"
Ernest straightened his face and began his mage enlightenment to Leylin......
Soon, the news that Young Master Leylin of the Faolan family had been favored by a powerful mage and became a mage's apprentice began to spread throughout the port.
In the world of the gods, mages often represent powerful, mysterious, and irresistible forces.
Faolan has an apprentice mage and is very talented, which means that this family is likely to have a powerful mage in the future!
This subtle influence immediately made many people ignore the fact that the other party was only a new aristocracy, and many old nobles began to accept the existence of the Faolan family, and even planned to throw an olive branch to the Faolan family.
Baron Jonas cleverly used this opportunity to build momentum, won more benefits for the Faoran family, and greatly broadened the family's survival and development environment.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Leylin, after all, he was still too young to join the family affairs.
The only thing that had anything to do with him was probably attending a banquet with Ernest and being blessed by everyone in the fiefdom.
Last time, the bishop of Ogma, the god of knowledge, Tablis, came in person and expressed his regret.
Strong spiritual power means that not only is he gifted on the path of a mage, but also that if Leylin can accept the teachings of the God of Knowledge and follow them wholeheartedly, his path to priesthood will definitely be smoother, and even be promoted faster than other priests.
Now that this kind of good seedling has been fished out by a mage, it is natural that Tablis will feel very regretful.
Unfortunately, he would never know that it was impossible for Leylin to throw himself into the God of Knowledge, nor would he be able to attain even one level of priesthood.
Once the master-apprentice relationship was formalized, Lei Lin's mage teaching began.
Yes, with the enthusiasm of the Jonas and his wife, Ernest decided to stay in the manor and complete his mage initiation to Leylin.
In fact, the other party was originally a mage who lived in a fixed place, and there was no such thing as a mage tower - according to the information that Lei Lin secretly collected, mainly relying on the other party's unconsciously leakage, his mentor, in fact, was only about the ninth level of the mage, and it was still far from the fifteenth-level [Archmage], let alone the [Legendary Mage] after that.
To build a mage tower, in addition to the pride of the sky backed by a huge power, even the archmage must accumulate hundreds of years of time.
According to the malicious thoughts in Leylin's heart, this Ernest may have nowhere else to go, so he can only eat and drink in the Faoran family.
Of course, even a ninth-level mage is a great big man in the Faolan Territory, so he and the Jonas couple can be regarded as a perfect match, wishful thinking.
The time for the spell class was chosen in the morning, and Anthony, the cultural teacher of Leilin, could only come in the afternoon.
As for Yacob, who was originally scheduled to teach Lei Lin the ability of the warriors, he could naturally only get off the post depressed, if it weren't for the fact that Lei Lin had taken half an hourglass out of training every day on the grounds of exercising, I am afraid that the other party would have to continue to patrol the port.
"The so-called spells are actually gifts from the gods to the mages, and the magic web, created by the great goddess of magic nets, Mystra, is the root of all spells......"
In the first lesson, when he heard Ernest read it out so solemnly, Leylin almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water.
"Spells, a gift from the gods, and a magic web?"
"Yes!" Ernist's face was very serious, and he could see that this was what he was thinking.
"I see!" Leylin nodded earnestly, but he was sneering in his heart.
"It's obviously my own strength, but I want to put shackles on it, how should I evaluate it......"
Through Ernest's narration, Leylin's understanding of the mage profession in the world of the gods is also deepening.
The spellcaster profession here, or mage, is essentially a profession that increases one's mental power through meditation, communicates with the ubiquitous magic web, builds a spell model and stores it, and finally forms a spell slot and uses it.
This conclusion couldn't help but make Lei Lin speechless. (To be continued......)
