Chapter II
Becca nodded, walked over to Feleg, handed the staff to his left hand, and reached out his right hand to Feleg with encouragement in his eyes. Although Feleg was only six years old, he was very precocious, and the basic etiquette was already well understood. He naturally understood what the Becca magician meant, but he couldn't understand.
The handshake is a ritual that should only be used between people of equal status and who are not too familiar with each other. In terms of status, Feleg is definitely not qualified to shake hands with a noble magician.
The people of the Landis family were also stunned, they didn't understand, why this was happening? Looking at the old magician's encouraging eyes, Feleg hesitated, but still stretched out his right hand, put his little hand into the magician's broad but well-maintained palm, shook it gently, and shook it up and down three times.
At the same time as the two hands were together, a strong magic power poured into Feleg's body along his hand, and Feleg's whole body emitted a dazzling green light, and the whole person was like a lit magic lamp. Such a change made the whole Resno family stunned, and only little Feleg, who was shaking his hand, was unaware.
"Won't you ask me to sit down?" Becca said with a smile, and as she withdrew her right hand, the green light on Feleg's body disappeared in an instant.
"Of course, it's a great honor. Resno said, and Pro, who had a good eye, immediately pulled over one of the best chairs, placed it in front of the table, and invited the Becca Wizard to take a seat.
Looking at the family that was still a little blank, and Feleg who felt inexplicable, Becca Wizard said, "I think you already understand why I went downstairs and why I shook hands with Feleg, is that so?"
Resno and his wife nodded at the same time as Proro and Kawa, while Feleg was confused, and little Jenny kept looking at the old magician with curiosity.
"Your son Feleg has a talent for magic and is very good, and now you have two options. Let him follow me and become my apprentice in magic, or when Feleg is eight years old, go to the largest city in the vicinity to perform magic measurements and become a cadet in the Imperial Academy of Magic. By the way, how old is Feleg this year?"
"Feleg just turned six this year and it will take two more years. Resno replied, his eyes full of surprise, confusion, and even disbelief that his son had a talent for magic, which was so surprising and surprising to him.
Becca Magician nodded and said: "I am a senior magician of the Auckland Empire, what is the future arrangement of Feleg, your family can discuss, I will enter the Demon Forest the day after tomorrow, if you want him to become my apprentice, at least make a decision before dinner tomorrow." With that, he stood up and walked upstairs.
Seeing the magician's disappearing back, Resno, Emma, Pro, and Kawa immediately began to discuss. It is clear that Feleg does have a talent for magic, and a very high talent. There are as many as fifty magic determination teams in the empire, and only one mid-level magician is on the team.
Even if Feleg's magical talent was also determined, he could only be placed to study at the Imperial Academy of Magic, where there were higher-level magicians, but it was more a matter of luck to become an apprentice of a magician.
The number of magicians, the most powerful warriors on the Continent of the Gods, is extremely rare, and only one true magician will appear in every million people. Magicians possess great strength, incomparable wisdom, and are strong men that no country can refuse.
Therefore, only to become a true magician, even the lowest-level trainee magician, will be reused by the state. The empire will not only provide magicians with a large amount of gold coins, various rare materials, but even a certain amount of elemental ores if they are high-level magicians. When a person is certified as a mage at the Imperial Academy of Magic, they are also given the title of nobility by the Empire, and at least an earl.
Of course, all this such generous treatment also requires a certain amount of responsibility, when the empire needs it, the magician must serve the country, especially when the war comes, the role of the magician is irreplaceable by the samurai.
The Auckland Empire has 19 million square kilometers, a population of 1.2 billion, and only about 1,200 magicians. Although the number is pitiful, their strength is extremely strong, and no one will doubt that these two hundred magicians have the strength of more than one legion, or even higher.
The family discussed for a while, and finally the head of the family, Resno, said, "Feleg, do you want to be a magician?
Feleg hesitated for a moment, glanced back at the upstairs, where naturally he couldn't see the figure of the Becca magician, turned his head, and nodded seriously: "Yes, I am willing to become a magician, willing to be the apprentice of the Becca magician." ”。
Feleg could see that his father seemed to be happy, but there was a little loss in his eyes, his son could become a magician, this is the glory of the family, starting from Feleg's generation, the Landis family will become a nobleman, and it is also a nobleman of the empire, which is far from being comparable to the small nobles of the Duchy of Teresa.
In fact, in the Continent of the Gods, there are not many people with magical talents, about one out of every hundred people has the ability to perceive magic, but it is not enough to be able to perceive magical elements. Of these people, only the best have the potential to become true magicians.
The second-class ones may become alchemists, using their measly little magic power to craft all sorts of magical items. Although they are not as powerful as magicians, and they cannot obtain the incomparable status of magicians, let alone become nobles, magical items are very valuable.
Becoming an alchemist from a commoner can already change the entire family a lot, at least they no longer need to worry about life and gold coins, even if they can't become super-rich, at least they can become small-rich, and even better than many nobles.
Again, although they can perceive the existence of the elements, they can't use the slightest bit of it, and they can't store even one magic seed in their bodies, and after a period of observation and testing, this kind of people can only return to their original lives and live their original lives, and most of the people who can perceive the elements mostly belong to this type.
A high-level magician took a fancy to Feleg, Puro and Kava, who had already been to the city and performed magic measurements, naturally knew that his brother, who was lucky, would definitely not be the worst kind, and even not the kind that could only become an alchemist, but would definitely become a magician, and only such a person, Becca, as a high-level magician, would be willing to let his younger brother become his magic apprentice.
Seeing Resno who walked into the room after agreeing, Becca nodded with satisfaction, and there was no need to ask. Take out a piece of snow-white parchment, pull out a magic pen, write quickly on it, and finally add your magic seal at the end, and hand the parchment to Resno.
This is a proof that Feelege Landis has become a magic apprentice of the senior magician Becca, after becoming a magic apprentice, Feleg naturally has to follow Becca, the territory of the empire is vast, outside the empire, there are even more vast places, after becoming a magic apprentice, he may not be able to return here for ten years or eight years. With this certificate, Resno can get some compensation and protection from the Duchy of Deresa, and even ordinary nobles can't oppress the Landis family.
This is a certificate issued by a senior magician, although it cannot prove that Feleg is already a magician, but the weight of it naturally cannot be compared with those magic apprentices who have just passed the measurement, and it is impossible for those people's families to get such treatment, unless at the time of measurement, this kind of certificate issued by the measurement magician can be obtained, which will be valid.
"Thank you very much, venerable magician, Feleg will trouble you later. Resno bowed, his son was only six years old, and he was about to leave his side, which made him a little sad, but at the same time more proud, the Landis family, there is going to be a great magician, the entire Duchy of Deresa, so far, there is no magician, what a noble.
"No, I should thank you for giving birth to an excellent son, and I can guarantee that Feleg will definitely become a magician in the future. Becca said with a smile.
Becca Magician is not polite, magicians are noble, and it is naturally a very honorable thing to become a magician, but it is also very difficult for a magician to receive a good magic apprentice. Magical talent is something that can be encountered but not sought. In the Imperial Academy of Magic, those magic instructors will even fight in order to win a good magic apprentice.
When Resno went upstairs, the whole village was boiling, and the news of Feleg becoming a high-level magician's apprentice had spread throughout the village.
There are many people with magical talents, there were three children in the village, but the one they studied the longest was only three months in the Imperial Academy of Magic, and they were sent back, knowing that the journey back and forth would take several months. When they return, they can only live the life of ordinary people. For a high-level magician to take a fancy to him, there is no doubt that Feleg is definitely not the kind of child who only has a sense of magic.
From an early age, Feleg was different, and this was the recognition of everyone in the village. Feleg is not arrogant or arrogant, just unsociable and somewhat withdrawn, and he is clearly much more mature than children of his age.
Feleg knew that he was leaving, he was a little scared, more expectant, he didn't know what he was going to face, but he knew that his future would be bright.
