Chapter 20: "Gerald" (4)

An Imperial Mage Apprentice who wants to become a first-turn mage needs to meet three conditions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

First, to achieve a state of "full mental strength".

"I can't help you with anything about that. So said Mr. Gerald.

Second, to reach the right state to be able to successfully transfer the "extended pattern".

"I can't help you with anything about that. Mr. Gerald said again.

Third, get a usable "extended pattern".

"On this point, in fact, with your qualifications, you don't need my help at all. ”

"Then what do I want you to do!" Brunei almost blurted out in a furious complaint, but in the end he still chose a more peaceful statement: "Then how can you help me?"

Mr. Gerald snapped his fingers: "That's a good question. The foundation of your badge determines that it is an intermediate badge, and as long as it can be used in the future, it will not change the essence of its intermediate badge, so what can I help you?"

Brunei's expression hidden under the mask fully reflected his dissatisfaction with the person in front of him who was talking nonsense.

However, Mr. Gerald did not seem to have the ability to see through the mask to see Brunei's actual expression, so he could continue to say with great interest: "What I can do is to help you find the most suitable 'extended pattern' and complete it perfectly." ”

"A turn of the Mage's Expansion Pattern can give them more extra mental power, which allows them to use more advanced spells, and in addition to that, the 'Expansion Pattern' will also attach one or more supermagic skills to their magic emblem. Mr. Gerald snapped his fingers, "But there's more to the value of the 'One Turn Expansion Pattern'. ”

"It determines your future development. Mr. Gerald said astonishingly, "The original magic emblem determines your 'attributes', and the 'one-turn expansion pattern' determines your 'tone'. Do you understand what that means?"

Brunei's original thoughts had been completely forgotten, and at this moment, he was as engrossed as he was in class, bathing himself in new knowledge as much as possible: "I don't understand. ”

"Yes. You don't know. Mr. Gerald seemed pleased with Brunei's performance, "'Mage', i.e., manipulator of magic, is distinguished from a researcher of magic and a writer of magic, and as such belongs to the profession of the practical application of magic, and as such, has a more detailed classification. Of course, there are also references to unifying magic researchers and magic writers into the term 'mage'. ”

"That's because magic is so vast. Mr. Gerald's expression that had always been very indecent suddenly became serious, "The so-called mages are not all good at fighting and need to fight. As an analogy, let me think of it, and use an example that you are familiar with. In your empire, the head of every village is at least a mage, right?"

Brunei nodded.

Mr. Gerald finally laughed: "They are responsible for the operation of the lighting equipment in the village, water conservancy and irrigation, etc., these tasks seem to be completed by a mage, but if he does not specialize in this way, he will be overwhelmed by the daily work alone, and once he encounters an emergency, he may not have the spare energy to solve it." ”

"In the same way, a mage who specializes in adventure, a mage who specializes in spells with strange effects, and a mage who specializes in auxiliary spells......" Mr. Gerald listed a long list of mage types that made Brunei a little dizzy, and then took a deep breath, "what kind of mage will you become after that, this is called 'tone'." ”

Brunei pondered for a while: "In other words, 'tone' means, my future?"

Mr. Gerald smiled with relief, but shook his head, "It's your possible future." Becoming a first-turn mage does not necessarily mean that you will become a second-turn mage. What's more, even if your magic emblem really goes in a certain direction, it doesn't mean that you really want to go that way. ”

Mr. Gerald paused thoughtfully for a moment before continuing: "I know an old friend. Without sufficient understanding of the systematic knowledge of the Magic Emblem, he managed to make himself and wear the Magic Emblem, and reached the height of a second-turn mage. Obviously, even he later knew that his magic emblem was only suitable for the use of attack spells, but he was paranoid about wanting to engage in 'man's battles' with punches and kicks by releasing buff spells, hehe. ”

"The best and most suitable does not mean that you will definitely choose, and I hope you will remember that. ”

[Hehe, this idiot is self-righteous and pouring some chicken soup for the soul there. 】

When the system said this, Brunei nodded thoughtfully, although others could not see his face, they seemed to be able to see from his eyes that he was deeply moved and touched: "Mr. Gerald, I understand!"

[Hey, hey, little Bruneith, aren't you? I knew that you were so good at tricking me into changing routes, and I would have fooled you a long time ago!]

Gerald's expression became more and more satisfied: "Alright." So, let's talk about helping you design a 'one-turn expansion pattern'. ”

Without hesitation, Brunei said, "Mr. Gerald, I would like to be able to learn from you about the system of magic emblems! As for the design of the 'One Turn Expansion Pattern', although I am eager to get your help in the design process, I am really not qualified for such an honor at my level." Allow me to call you-"

Brunei took several deep breaths repeatedly, as if to calm his beating heart, which was beating too violently, and in his mind, the image of William rolled repeatedly, and he cautiously selected the most suitable one for the current situation from William's countless calls, and then imitated him as much as possible, with a stunned but very sincere look, and shouted: "Teacher!"

Gerald's beard was upturned, and four big words were written on his face: "Teachable".

【...... Do you see that he wants to take you as an apprentice? It's incredible, I don't even see it...... Are you already good at psychology, and you don't seem to ask for an observation test when you look at this old bastard...... You're not self-taught, are you?

Mr. Gerald's face was full of smugness, and he was tickled by Brunei's not very clever sycophants, so he said: "But, I refuse!"

"Huh?" Bruneith's face twisted even the part that was exposed to the outside of the mask.

[Phew, haha, so I'm relieved!]

Mr. Gerard gave a very unpleasant and grim smile: "I am only forty-nine years old, and I am still very young, so I will not be a teacher." I'm not interested in teaching students of your level. I understand your thoughts, heck, seeing such a good person as me, the idea of wanting to stammer naturally springs out of my heart. ”

Mr. Gerald held out a finger: "And, according to the request of those two young ladies of Childe, I will at least help you complete the design of the 'One Turn Expansion Pattern'." But as you just said, at my level, you can't afford to pay anything, right? So, I have a perfect solution to this problem. ”

"How about you come and help me before I help you with your design? That way, you won't be upset that you didn't give me the reward I deserve, and you can learn from me by following me and being so good. What do you think?"

"You stinking old bastard!" Brunei once again tried to swallow the curse that was about to blurt out back into his throat, spitting out dry laughter and the exact opposite line: "You are such a genius!"

"You think it's the perfect solution, don't you? I think I'm a genius too!
