Section 137: Mage Assessment (II)
The magic circle is broken.
It was the first and only thought that crossed Ahriman's mind.
Other than that, there was no other explanation, so Aliman asked Norman to come out quickly, and asked first, "How did you feel just now?"
When Norman was in this magic array, he really didn't feel anything at first, but then he slowly felt as if something was oppressing his mental power. The feeling was similar to the mental oppression he had experienced in the Aether Labyrinth, but the spiritual oppression of this magic array was much smaller.
Slowly, this sense of mental oppression became stronger and stronger, until after a while after the sand in the hourglass was gone, this mental oppression had reached its peak and stabilized.
If you let Norman come before entering the Aether Labyrinth, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it, but for the current Norman who has been tempered by the Aether Labyrinth, it is still unbearable.
Norman was about to tell the truth about his feelings, but Lancelot's voice immediately came from his heart, "Your performance seems to be beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition, which can easily cause trouble, and judging from the other party's expression, he doesn't believe in this result, so we do this......"
Norman felt that Lancelot's analysis made sense, and he accepted it as if it were good.
So he blinked twice in confusion and said, "I don't feel anything." ”
Sure enough, it broke.
Thinking so in his heart, Ahriman told Norman to stay still, ran in and activated the magic circle, and stood for a while to feel it, but a puzzled expression appeared on his face: Isn't this working well? Or did you just break it down a little, and now you're better again?......
Ahriman was puzzled, but he was not very proficient in this magic circle, so he had to ignore him for the time being, let Norman stand in it, and once again activated the magic circle.
Now Norman learned to be obedient, and according to Lancelot's analysis, when the sand in the hourglass was halfway flowed, a painful expression began to appear on his face, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was wide open, and he looked very struggling.
And as the sand flowed down little by little, his forehead was sweating, his body couldn't stand, his back was slightly arched, and it seemed that a thousand pounds of weight were pressing on him, and his body trembled.
Finally, when the sand in the hourglass had flowed two-thirds of the way, Norman could no longer hold on, and sat down on the ground with a pop, his chest rising and falling incessantly, as if he was having trouble breathing, and his face was very solemn, but he still did not relax. It wasn't until Ahriman let go of the hand holding the blue crystal that the faint white light on the lines on the magic array disappeared, and he also sensed that the oppressive force on his mental power dissipated, that he finally relaxed completely, and sat on the ground panting heavily.
Lancelot's choice of two-thirds was also deliberate: they didn't know which part of the rules were going through, and they could only analyze them by the facial expressions of Ahriman that they had just recorded. And through the change of Ahriman's facial expression and the change of the hourglass, they came to the conclusion that one-third and two-thirds were two key nodes, and to be on the safe side, they chose two-thirds as the center of the performance.
In this way, Norman can pass the test of the mage exam as much as possible, and secondly, he can also hide Norman's true strength, which can play a protective role for him who is still weak, after all, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
And the effect is also good.
Ahriman was finally no longer confused, but looked at Norman with satisfaction.
Not bad, the spiritual power of a two-star black-robed mage! For a young man of this age, it can be said to be very good!
After testing his mental strength and letting Norman rest for a while, Ahriman took Norman to another room, which was also the last room.
This room is no longer empty.
The room was large, full of all kinds of miscellaneous items, stone tablets, wooden targets, boxes, beds, papers, books, clothes, moldy bread, etc., and even a pocket door with a door frame in the corner, which can be said to be rich.
"What level 1 spells are you good at? Pick two out, tell me the name of the spell, and I'll tell me how to do it. ”
Needless to say, Norman basically understood what he was doing.
This is supposed to be a test of his spell-casting ability, and the test items involved in it include psychic ability, control of spell spells, depth of the sea of magic and other items, which is a comprehensive assessment. And the standard for passing should be to be able to successfully cast two level 1 spells.
Well, Norman had come to learn the Templar way of analyzing.
And it was at this time that Norman realized why Curtis would say that he "had the ability to cast spells", but did not call him a mage, because according to this standard, just having the ability to cast spells really can't be called a mage - not to mention anything else, you must be able to cast at least two spells in a row, and if you can only cast one, you still can't pass the assessment to be called a mage.
After thinking about it, Norman gave two names to Ahriman, "Adhesion, Silent Portal." ”
Although his current sea of magic was enough for him to release up to three spells at a time, for the sake of safety, he still chose the two spells with the shortest spells and the one he was most sure of, among which the adhesion technique was the first spell he learned, and it was extremely familiar, and the Silent Portal had also tried it on his own on the first day of staying in Mannheim, and there was no problem in casting it.
"Adhesion? Silent Portal?"
Ahriman was a little surprised by these two spells.
These two spells are relatively simple, and because they are useless, they are easy to obtain, but judging from Norman's mental power performance just now, he thought that a student with excellent mental power like Norman would choose a relatively difficult spell.
But it doesn't matter, just follow the rules.
"Okay, then you can perform adhesion on those two clothes......"
So many decorations on the site are specially prepared for testing various spells, and basically any strange spell can be found here.
Under the command of Ahriman, Norman successively performed the Adhesion Technique and the Silent Portal, both of which were one-time successes and the process was very smooth, but after the cast, Norman saw Ahriman staring at him with a shocked face.
This made Norman chuckle in his heart: What?
Unbeknownst to him, the reason for Ahriman's strange expression was Norman's way of casting spells.
What's the situation with this strange way of chanting spells? Why can this guy still cast spells when he chants spells so quickly?
Could it be that this is the legendary secret technique, fast spell casting?......
