Chapter 21: Wizard Qualifications
Looking along the line of sight, there was an old man with gray temples standing on the lawn, and the thin figure of the old man seemed to have an inexplicable attraction, like a bright light in the dark night, which was particularly eye-catching.
He wore a white peaked hat and a long, wide-sleeved robe, a thick beard that almost dragged from his chin to the ground, and his right hand, which dwelt with a cane, was boneless, but his eyes were embarrassed.
Kevin raised the back of his hand, and found that the direction of the imprint was here, so he judged the identity of the old man.
Brandon stood on the lawn, looking at Kevin in a daze, a hint of loneliness flashing across his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he beckoned to Kevin and said in a gentle voice, "Son, come over here." ”
Kevin stepped forward, and before he could get close to the carriage, there was a "bang", and the door of the carriage was pushed open by an invisible force.
"Huh? In exactly the same way that Malfurion held up the Wraith Leaf, it seems that Brandon is also a wizard. He glanced at the door and had a guess in his head.
The two entered the carriage one after another, and with a wave of Brandon's sleeve robe, the door closed automatically.
An invisible force spread, forming a silent barrier around the two of them, isolating all sounds from the outside world.
He took the back of Kevin's hand and carefully observed it for a while: "What is the relationship between you and your master, and why did his spiritual power imprint appear on you?"
The master, Malfurion and Brandon, are actually in a master-slave relationship.
"My father had entrusted Mafalio to treat my injuries. Kevin withdrew his hand and explained slowly, "After the adults tested that I have a wizard physique, let me come to you to learn the basics of wizarding. ”
"I see.," Brandon shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking.
In the process of impacting the official wizard, Brandon suffered an irreparable injury due to a serious deviation in the estimation of the value of his spiritual strength, and his mental power was forever fixed at the peak of a first-class wizard apprentice
Knowing that he had no hope of making the cut, he left Malfurion's side and took over as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wellington.
Despite this, Brandon still has a glimmer of hope for a full-fledged wizard, and perhaps one day Malfurion will find a way to fix the sea of knowledge.
The carriage was silent, and the two sat opposite each other, but no one made a sound.
Kevin's heart suddenly began to drum, and he could see that Brandon was very depressed, but he couldn't understand why.
In his mind, Malfurion's mark was the equivalent of an order, and Brandon should not be able to refuse.
"Come with me to the principal's office. ”
Brandon's old voice came and interrupted the cranky thoughts in Kevin's head.
The carriage stopped at the tallest building at the University of Wellington, and Kevin followed Brandon up to the third floor.
Entering Brandon's headmaster's office is like entering another world.
The entire principal's room was full of greenery, and a large leafy tree stood inside, taking up most of the space in the room, leaving only a small area around the desk.
Under all the branches of the big tree, there are many lantern-shaped fruits, and the fruits emit a faint white light from the inside out, which is dizzying, and it is estimated that there are nearly a thousand fruits.
When Kevin reached out to remove the branch blocking the road, the branch shrank to the sides, clearing a path in the middle.
"This is the lantern tree I invented, which was a cross between the mother tree and the spirit leaf tree. Brandon looked at Kevin's puzzled gaze and said with a smile, "When students enter the school, they swallow the fruit of the lantern tree, and every time they eat a fruit, the lantern tree will grow a corresponding fruit. ”
Brandon walked under the tree, took a pen and wrote down the number on one of the fruits, turned to Kevin, and said, "This is the lantern fruit that represents you, and when the students are attacked on campus, the brilliance of the corresponding lantern fruit will be dimmed." ”
Kevin's mouth opened slightly, and the look of shock was palpable, and the wonderful lantern tree opened his eyes.
"The lantern tree is connected to my psychic power, and with the addition of a separate number, I can know which student has been attacked where, so I don't need to wear a guard at Wellington University!" Brandon's voice, though flat, could not hide the pride in his heart.
For more than 20 years, after overcoming the initial confusion, Brandon devoted his life to the study of botany, not only inheriting the knowledge of Malfurion, but also carrying it forward.
Through extensive experimentation, he created a large number of new species by means of hybridization and grafting.
"The wizard's method is really amazing! A cultivated plant can combine the three functions of sensing, positioning, and alarm, and achieve the effect of high technology on the earth. Kevin was filled with emotion.
Brandon sorted through the mess of books on his desk and motioned for Kevin to sit down in front of him.
"Your physical fitness is different from ordinary people, is it a bloodline?" Brandon asked, handing over a steaming cup of tea.
Kevin took a sip of the teacup and found that it tasted somewhat similar to taro milk tea, and replied, "Yes, Angus is my father." ”
"What are your wizarding qualifications?" Brandon's beard shook as he spoke.
Kevin shook his head and said helplessly, "Master Malfurion said that the specific qualifications can only be tested at the wizarding academy. ”
Brandon patted his head: "Look at me as an old fool, I have forgotten this bit of common sense." ”
"There are five levels of wizard qualifications, the first class is the strongest qualifications, and the fifth class is the weakest. There are very few people with high qualifications, and it is easier for them to break through the bottleneck of formal wizards, and they have a huge advantage in terms of mental power improvement. ”
"For example, if you use the same meditation method, you can be promoted to an apprentice in three months if you have a first-class qualification, and you can be promoted to an apprentice in six or seven years if you have a fifth-class qualification. However, the lifespan of a person is limited, and without the adventures of the sky, it is difficult for a person with fifth-class qualifications to be promoted to a full-fledged wizard almost all his life. Brandon explained to Kevin.
Brandon, like Kevin's elders, earnestly taught: "If your qualification is the fifth rank in the later test, there is no need to waste time on the path of wizards to discover the power of the bloodline in your body." ”
Kevin nodded to make it clear that this world of qualifications is really desperate. Although the fifth-level qualification has the physique of a wizard, in fact, the hope of becoming an official wizard is too slim, and even the big family will not waste resources on people with fifth-level qualifications.
"What do you think a wizard is?" Brandon looked Kevin's eyes squarely, his voice becoming serious.
Kevin was stunned, he didn't expect Brandon to suddenly ask this question, and then began to think about it seriously.
The wizard in his mind has only a vague outline, and there is no precise definition.
"A wizard is a person who has a lot of attack and great power. Kevin's answer was staccafe, apparently unsure of the answer.
