Chapter 42: Stories and Apprehensions
Lolo had only been tested for magical aptitude once when she was born, and she didn't know the results. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the rookie brave has always been striving to become the strongest magician, he actually doesn't know much about his talent, and soon all of this will be revealed in the entrance test of Siamers Academy tomorrow, although Luo Luo didn't say it, but he was still quite nervous in his heart, which can be seen from the way back to the hotel.
As a first-order swordsman, the rookie brave obviously has good coordination and balance, but there are several times when he walks and almost bumps into the pedestrian or shop signboard next to him, even if he walks on the flat road, he may stumble on his left foot and stumble a few times, during which he accidentally kicked over a trash can, looking like he is not giving up.
The archmage couldn't take it anymore and stopped, "Uh, do you want to talk to me?"
"Talk...... What are you talking about?" Lolo was visibly absent-minded.
"Tomorrow's test, you should be very concerned. ”
"Huh?" The rookie brave man suddenly shook his head when he heard the word test, "Well, I remember you told me before that the most important thing for a magician is talent." ”
"Have I ever said such a thing?" said Rob Khan, although this is the truth, but for Luo Luo now, such words will undoubtedly further increase her nervousness.
The Great Magician can actually understand the girl's mood now, after all, after all the hard work has finally come to this point, her weak shoulders have been carrying an unimaginable weight on others, the girl is more eager for strength than ever, so she is so concerned about tomorrow's test, that she can't help but start to suffer from gains and losses now.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister thought for a while and said, "It is undeniable that talent is important to a mage, but acquired hard work is the key to determining what a person can achieve in the end, I wonder if you have ever heard the story of Archmage Clark?"
"Clark, who is that, is that amazing?" Lolo was finally intrigued, and temporarily turned his attention away from tomorrow's entrance test.
"It's amazing...... The Wizards Association ranked the fifty greatest magicians in history last year, and he ranked sixteenth, higher than the dragon slayer mage Robison, but you probably won't believe it, he did two tests before entering the Royal Academy of Magic and Magic of the Thistle, and the final evaluation was all D without exception, which means that his magical talent is only a little stronger than ordinary people, and Clark is not an aristocrat, his family is very ordinary, his parents are beekeepers, in order to become a magician Clark had to work day and night, and on weekends he would go to the town's lumber yard to work, and finally saved enough tuition when he was thirty years old。 ”
"What, you said he only started playing magic at the age of thirty?" Rookie Brave was shocked by the tragic life story of the magician named Clark, probably the lowest starting wizard she had ever heard.
"Yes, and limited by his qualifications and age, his progress in the academy is actually very limited, even the beginner fireball technique, he is very difficult to master, it takes more time and energy than others, he has been in the Royal Academy of Magic of Teist for a total of six years, and when he left, he was still a first-order magic apprentice. ”
"God, such a guy can be selected as one of the top fifty magicians in history, and he is ranked sixteenth, is there any of his children and grandchildren among the judges?" Luo Luo thought incredible.
Rob smiled, and didn't rush to explain, but threw another question at the girl, "Do you know how many kinds of magic there are in the world now, and which order has the most magic?"
"I don't know the first question, but the answer to the second question is obvious, the low-level magic is probably the most. The rookie brave guessed.
His Excellency the future Super Magus nodded, "That's right, according to the rough statistics of the Wizards Association, there are more than 100,000 kinds of magic in the world, of which the first-order spells are the most, accounting for about half of the number, but do you know what that number was six hundred years ago?"
"Six hundred years ago, well, let me think about it, it must have been a third. ”
"Ha, you must have overestimated the people at that time, the accumulation of knowledge is not linear, of course, magic as a discipline will also progress with the times, the development of magic six hundred years ago was far less rapid than today, the total number of spells at that time was only about six thousand, and a thousand of them were invented by this magician named Clark. "The great magician helped the rookie brave man to popularize science.
"Wow, it's really fake, one person invented one-sixth of the magic of the entire human race, although it is all low-level, but it is also terrifying, but how did that guy do it, I obviously feel that he is very weak. Luo Luo was amazed when he heard this.
"It is precisely because of his poor talent that Clarke's energy in low-level magic is beyond the reach of others, after graduating from the Royal Academy of Magic of Thistle, his research in this area did not stop, and after more than forty years of hard work, he almost studied all the low-level magic he could find, on the understanding of low-level magic, Clark said that he was the second, no one dared to call it the first, and he finally succeeded in understanding the secret of the elemental combination with the help of these inconspicuous low-level magic, which was something that Roland failed to do back then, and now we can say without hesitation that Clark was the greatest magician of his timeHe lived for a total of one hundred and sixty years, but he invented more than a thousand kinds of magic, many of which are still widely used today, and he also successfully promoted to the sixth order quasi-mage in his later years, his experience is probably enough to prove that 'talent is not the whole of a mage'. ”
Luo Luo bit his nails, "But it's better to have talent than no talent." ”
“............”
"Haha, anyway, thank you for telling me this story. The girl looked at the boy's eyes and said seriously, "I don't seem to be so nervous now, in fact, I know what you want to say, talent is indeed very important for everyone, but this kind of thing is innate, we can't decide, we can only do what we can control, in fact, no matter what the result of tomorrow will be, no matter whether my talent is good or bad, I will do my best on the road to becoming a magician, so thinking about it, tomorrow's test doesn't seem to be so important to me."
