Verse 138: One-star black robe
Legend has it that in the time of the Holy Son, there was a special skill for casting spells quickly.
Rapid casting can shorten the time it takes for a spell to be chanted, allowing for a preemptive effect, as has been seen in the Holy Texts as well as in some historical records.
But that was a long time ago, not to mention the current United Kingdom of Augustus, even the previous Magic Empire had lost the specific method of this technique, but Norman's spell casting method reminded Ariman of this matter again.
Although he didn't know what the actual fast casting was, how similar was the legendary quick casting to being able to shorten the time it took to recite the spell?
"How,"
Norman asked Ahriman, a little apprehensively, "Did I pass?"
Ahriman's expression made him a little unsure if he had passed the test.
Ahriman came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Ah...... Passed and passed......" Ahriman said a bunch of vague words, he didn't know what he was talking about, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, what did you use just now...... Is it a quick-casting technique?"
To be honest, it was still a bit difficult for Ahriman to ask this kind of question, after all, he was a one-star red-robed mage, and even more so a parish priest! Let him take the initiative to ask a little boy who came to participate in the one-star black-robed mage qualification examination and ask the other party questions, which really betrayed his identity.
But he was too curious to know if this was the legendary fast spell casting.
Faced with Ahriman's question, Norman was stunned.
Rapid casting?
The reason why he uses rap to cast spells is entirely because he is used to it now, and he didn't expect it to be involved in some quick spell casting.
And looking at the expression of this clergyman, it seems that this is a very powerful technique?
"Oops!"
Lancelot suddenly cried out in his heart.
What's so bad?
Norman was puzzled, but Lancelot immediately explained to him, "I remember Gawain told you the story of his guilt, and you are now! After all, the information is not comprehensive enough, and I don't know that this kind of spell casting technique is very attractive to them......
Although Ahriman didn't say a word again, his expression alone was enough for the Templars to write an eight-thousand-word essay on his state of mind.
Norman also remembered the story of his guilt.
He listened to Lancelot's analysis, and then looked at Ahriman's appearance, and his heart couldn't help but sweat.
He seems to be guilty of it now......
"It's too late to run now, you've already registered your information with them, even if you leave right now and go back to school, they'll know where you are. Unless you don't want anything anymore and Mannheim doesn't go back, just leave or even leave Nikaro before you can escape their sight completely. ”
Norman had really wanted to run away immediately, but when Lancelot said this, he was not so determined.
He felt that his life was quite good now, and he would soon have the opportunity to learn more spells, so he was really reluctant to leave.
Luckily, Lancelot showed him another way.
"Now we have no choice but to do this......"
Lancelot said as Norman listened.
Seeing that Norman didn't answer for a long time, Ahriman on the other side asked again: "Excuse me, did you use a rapid spell just now?"
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and after asking it for the first time, it is not so embarrassing to ask it a second time.
And Norman finally spoke.
"Yes,"
Norman confessed to Ahriman's inquiry, with a nonchalant expression on his face and a slight pride on his face. And without waiting for Ahriman to ask, he confessed where he had learned this quick spell technique, "You can see it? This is the result of my teacher's private research. ”
Between words, Norman glanced at Ahriman, his eyes a little contemptuous and a little curious.
His eyes were really not very polite, and the dignified parish priest of Ahriman did not feel very comfortable when he saw it, but he did not show it, but continued to ask: "May I ask who your teacher is......"
"My teacher has a quirky personality and he doesn't allow me to reveal his name to others,"
Norman followed Lancelot's instructions and took the mysterious route completely, without even saying a single name. Then he urged politely, with some irritation, "Can you announce the results of my assessment?"
Only then did Ahriman remember that they were doing the qualification assessment for a one-star black-robed mage.
"Follow me. ”
Ahriman brought Norman out again, took him to the transept, and told him to wait, while he went to another place to correct the papers.
I've passed a comprehensive test of mental power and spells, but that test paper still hasn't been corrected.
Norman sat alone in the auditorium, looking at all sides, but his heart was uneasy.
He didn't know if Lancelot's trick would scare the guys, but he had no other way now, let alone escape.
If he escaped now, wouldn't it be clear that he had a ghost in his heart?
So he could only continue to sit here and hold on.
Probably because of his anxiety, Norman felt that he had been waiting for the Ahriman to finally come in again, and he was followed by two priests, each with a tray in their hands.
Norman stood up and could see a neatly folded black robe on one of the two trays, and a book with a badge on the other.
Look at it like this, did he pass the qualification assessment?
Ahriman's words confirmed Norman's guess.
"Congratulations, Mr. Allen. ”
With a smile on his face, Ahriman called Norman's registered name and walked up enthusiastically, which was completely opposite to the constipated face he had when he presided over the assessment before.
Now he is as enthusiastic as summer, and he can melt people.
"Congratulations on passing the qualification examination of a one-star black-robed mage with excellent results, and from today onwards, you will be a one-star black-robed mage registered by the church. A 16-year-old one-star black-robed mage, which is rare in the entire Nikaroko......"
Norman's written test results were completely unexpected.
Although Ahriman had already determined that this was an excellent little mage after seeing Norman's excellent performance behind him, and knew that the ancient language test papers in front of him were not scribbled, he never thought that Norman's ancient language test papers could be all right!
The test papers made at that terrifying speed turned out to be all right.
Coupled with the spiritual power beyond ordinary people, the long-lost rapid spell-casting skills are no more than 25 years old...... Norman was no longer an ordinary one-star black-robed mage in Ahriman's heart.
If this guy participates in the assessment of a two-star black-robed mage again, he may be able to pass.
Ahriman thought to himself.
This also made Ahriman even more in awe of Norman's eccentric teacher: what kind of strong teacher was he to teach such a student and study the long-lost rapid spell casting technique? He now had several options in his mind, each of which was the master who could make Nicaro shake twice by stomping his feet......
Norman didn't know how much thought had flashed through Arimman's mind, he just went up and cooperated with Ariman to enter his personal information into the mage badge, and then he could leave—maybe Lancelot's method worked, and Ariman's priest didn't make any drastic moves, and he didn't continue to ask about the quick spell casting.
So Norman walked away from Farcher Church and went back to Mannheim.
During this period, in order to match the character image of "Master's Student" he had just made, so that the character image was unified, Norman also immediately put the mage robe on the outside of his clothes, and the mage badge was also pinned, swaggering through the market along the way, attracting a lot of attention.
Coincidentally, Norman was walking into Mannheim towards the cafeteria, passing by the building where they had classes today, just in time to meet the students after class.
So Enoch Teacher and the students naturally looked over, and after noticing Norman's brand-new black-robed mage robe and the mage badge pinned to his chest, everyone's footsteps involuntarily stopped.
Time stands still.
