Chapter 5: Minor Accidents
After three consecutive days of regular subject exams, the weather was unusually gloomy, with light rain falling and cool to slightly chilly.
"Donnie, how are you doing in the past few days?" In the square of Mills Noble School, Sammy asked Donnie beside him while waiting for the arrival of the magicians, he had completed his exams in advance for the past few days, whether it was subjects such as magic structure and basic theory of arcane, or spell casting tests, it could not stop him from rushing back to his dormitory to embrace his determination to sleep.
Donnie looked at the stone busts in the square, the best graduates of the Mills Noble School, and said with a little nervousness: "It's a normal performance, I've communicated with other people, and I should be able to meet the criteria for entering the Heidler School of Magic and Wizardry, now it's up to the necromancy related content of this additional test, what about you?"
In the early morning, Sammy was in good spirits, yawned, and said in comfort: "At least there is no big loss of standard, for me, that is enough." ”
He didn't ask Donnie much about his exams, because when he was in the "Heart of Nature" school, he felt that he couldn't compare to Donnie even when it came to the theory and spell analysis related to the necromancy, just because of the relationship between the ghosts behind him, he was better than Donnie in terms of spell casting speed, spell effects, over-level spell casting, and special abilities.
A drizzle of cow hair fell on the apprentices in the square, but none of them hid in the school building, because in their perception of television, radio, and newspapers, the necromantic mages were relatively more eccentric, or gloomy, whether it was the sacred medical field under the necromancy, or the field of study of the body structure related to necromancy. Any realm that deals with life, death, body, soul, and other things will always give people a mysterious and terrifying feeling of yearning for worship.
"Jane Heinrich Hunt, countess, famous mathematician, astrologer......" Sammy whispered the words engraved under the bust in front of him, and then smiled, "just mentioning mathematics, not mentioning this lady's arcane and magical levels, it seems that her strength is not strong, and she may not even exceed the middle level." It should be a lady who focuses on the pure field of mathematics and physics. ”
"What's so strange about that. Mr. Langman had only become a full-fledged magician the year before, but this did not prevent him from ranking in the top 20 in the field of mathematics and physics in the last ten years, and he had solved several mathematical problems raised by Lord Evans. Downey said with reverence, "Although Mr. Langman's magical talent is very average. But with the great contribution of the field of mathematics and physics. He was given a rich resource. Step by step, we have transformed ourselves and made up for the gap, and our own talent is stronger than his. How could she give up so easily? This lady must be in a similar situation, and she seems to be a great nobleman, the countess of the Heinrich family......"
Sammy nodded slightly: "Well, besides, with the development of 'artificial intelligence', it already has very terrifying computing power, giving many people with poor magical talents, but strong mathematical or theoretical arcane talents, opportunities, through its assistance, their shortcomings have been made up to the greatest extent." ”
"I also want to have an 'artificial intelligence', which can avoid a lot of ......cumbersome calculations," Donnie said with a sigh and yearning, "Hey, Hunter's last name ......"
His voice suddenly became a little higherer: "I remember! This lady is supposed to be the wife of Mr. Ali Hunt." ”
Ali Hunter, this is also an inspirational name among ordinary people and magic apprentices, he is also not very talented in magic, and his mathematical and theoretical arcane research is not very good, so far, he is only a first-order arcanist, a second-ring magician.
But when artificial intelligence was first developed, he relied on his keen intuition to make the first pot of gold in his life, and later received the strong support of some werewolves and became their spokesperson, expanding his small company to magic communicators, wired telephones, broadcasting, satellite applications, werewolf security, mercenary dispatch and other fields, belonging to the entire Holm empire can be ranked in the forefront of the big tycoons.
The most enviable thing is that he later married Miss Jane of Duke Heinrich's family, got rid of the image of an upstart at once, and since then has the support of the big nobles, and no longer relies solely on the werewolf clan.
For ordinary people, this is simply the most desirable template of life -- although the experience of His Excellency Evans is more exaggerated, more legendary, and more eye-catching and worshipped, it is also too exaggerated, too legendary, and too incredible! After anyone hears it, they weigh themselves a little and feel that they will never be able to do it, but it is Ali's experience, which seems to rely more on luck and the opportunities brought by the torrent of the times, and he may not have such a day.
When the time comes, with the resources brought by money, you will be able to master the magical power yourself!
"Wow, it turned out to be her, in fact, if there is a statue here, it will not be far off. Sammy sighed exaggeratedly, then he looked at the wall clock on the Magic Experiment Tower, and said suspiciously, "It's almost eight o'clock, why don't you start yet?"
Downey also found it strange that the Unified Entrance Examination for the Higher School of Magic was a serious assessment conducted under the joint attention of the Royal Family, the Cabinet, and the Magical Council's "Arcane and Magical Education Committee", so there should be no major surprises.
At this moment, more than a dozen magicians with gloomy expressions flew out of the teaching building, some of them were wearing Holm-style tight suits or long gowns, and some were dragging long classical magic robes.
"It's finally here. Donnie breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading magician in a long black dress said in a small voice but in everyone's ears: "The last one with the most serial number of exams is an even number of mages who follow me to the left, first take additional tests in the fields of souls, ghosts, ghosts, etc., and follow the mages on my right with odd numbers to conduct additional tests in the fields of body structure, corpse combination, and undead arousal, and then exchange them with each other in the afternoon, you don't think about asking each other about the content of the exam, because the content of the morning and afternoon is different." ”
Donnie patted Sammy on the shoulder, "I'll go first." ”
He knew that Sammy's tail number was even, and his own was odd.
"You're going to make it!" Sammy's usual dazed face showed a rare bright smile as he swung his right hand into a fist.
Donnie smiled and waved his fist in response.
After passing through the first school building, the magicians kept leaving with their apprentices with different tail numbers, so the crowd became more and more sparse, and at the end of the day, Downey even felt a kind of silence that he had not felt for a long time, as if he could hear the birds singing happily in the shade of the trees.
Suddenly, he saw a group of people in dark black coats in front of a building that looked like a magic tower in front of him, and they were sealing off the surroundings with an alchemical barrier.
"The people of Granling Street?" Donnie's heart beat faster, was there really something going on?
Graling Street is the headquarters of the Imperial Police Department of Holm, which refers to the police in the general population.
Then, he saw two middle-aged men with black scepter badges on their chests coming out of it.
"The mages of the Council's Corrections Department actually dispatched them?" Donnie's pupils narrowed slightly, this was the department in charge of internal punishment and investigation of magicians.
The necromancer in front of him leaned to the side with his apprentices, allowing the two mages from the Punishment Department to pass first.
“...... The cause of death was cardiac arrest, and the deceased himself had a more serious heart problem......" A brown-haired corrections mage communicates with his companion as he walks.
His companion bowed his head lightly and said: "It should be too exciting when playing virtual adventures, illusion triggered a large amount of hormone secretion, causing the deceased's hidden heart problems to burst out, I can't imagine that after the combination of Ms. Heidi's artificial intelligence and illusion, it can make people die like this, hey, the Affairs Committee and the Magic Research Committee have an excuse to suspend similar projects." ”
"Hmph, I don't know what my body is like, and I ......deserve to be dead."
Listening to the casual exchange between the two mages of the Punishment Department, Donnie's thoughts jumped: "A game based on 'artificial intelligence'?" 'Voice of Mysteries' has been mentioned on TV shows, but it is really unexpected that a strong man at least the official mage level can die......
"Could there be some conspiracy?"
As a teenager who is familiar with many legends and loves to explore adventure shows, Downey is a standard "conspiracy theorist".
However, this small accident didn't bother Donnie for long, because the additional test of the necromancy system was about to begin, and everything else had to be put aside.
The group entered a cool and cold magic tower, and at this time, a black-haired girl with elegant steps walked through the side door.
"It's so beautiful......" Although Donnie was worried about the exam, he couldn't help but be shocked by the girl's appearance, she had short hair, but it was difficult to hide her pure beauty, the bridge of the nose was small, the lips were slightly pursed, and the temperament was even more gentle and elegant, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Suddenly, the girl's hazy silver-purple eyes suddenly became sharp, and everyone she looked at subconsciously avoided her gaze, and at the same time, she was wearing a simple black suit, trousers, and a bow tie of the same color...... Hey, what's a man's dress? Wait, she's got an Adam's apple! No, it's supposed to be him!
Rumble!
Donnie only felt his head buzzing, this "girl" who was more beautiful than all the ladies he had ever seen was actually a man!
The coughing sound continued to sound, and many of the apprentices choked on saliva.
"Enter your own exam room according to your exam number. The necromancer with slightly gray hair said lightly, "Exam content: first identify which magical creature the materials in the room come from and which part they are, and then design and refine a stitched corpse, the materials can be used up, but they can't be taken away privately. ”
Donnie shuddered, shook off his frustration and quickly found his "laboratory", and the boy happened to be in the room next to him. (To be continued......)
