Chapter 6 Apprenticeship
Kalido was a fifteenth-level pinnacle great mage, Lin Feng originally thought that he was only a thin line away from a sixteenth-level magician, and maybe it wouldn't take long to be upgraded, but Yuri told Lin Feng that due to some reasons, Kalido could only be a fifteenth-level pinnacle grand mage in his life, and his path to promotion was broken.
Lin Feng recalled some memories from the beginning, and it seemed that his situation was somewhat similar to Carrido. Carrido initially chose to stay and teach Lin Feng, and occasionally stared at Lin Feng with that strange gaze, which was pity, sympathy, and self-harm.
This old apprentice Yuri, he has been in Kalido's alchemy room for almost thirty years, his talent is not good, he basically stops at the fifth level apprentice, Kalido can keep him for so long, it can be seen that he also has a sympathy.
In this way, Kalido's character is not bad. Lin Feng thought like this: "Perhaps, Yuri saw something, and deliberately said such a thing to me, is it to imply something?"
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Feng has been a magic apprentice for more than five months. On this day, Carrido called Lin Feng to him and said, "Lin Feng, are you still used to living here in the past few months?"
Lin Feng replied: "It's okay, every day is very fulfilling, and I have learned a lot of new things." ”
"That's good," Carrido's voice changed, "You also know something about me, I have a question for you now, and I'll answer it when you're ready," Carrido paused for a moment, and then asked, "Would you like to be my personal disciple?"
Lin Feng had a vague conjecture after getting Yuri's hint, and he had already thought about the pros and cons in the past three months. At this time, when he heard Carrido's question, he didn't call any of them, and replied directly: "I do." The cleanliness was so refreshing that Carrido was a little stunned.
Although Carrido was a little sluggish, he still straightened his face, and said solemnly again: "You better think about it, you don't need to answer me right away." ”
Lin Feng also showed a serious expression and said, "I have already thought about it, I am willing to be your personal disciple, and I also hope that you can give me better teachings." ”
Kalido looked at Lin Feng carefully, and seeing that his expression was not pretentious, he said, "Okay, then I will accept you as my personal disciple, I hope you will not regret it." ”
Lin Feng knew that in this world, in addition to being similar to the teacher-student relationship in the academy, each formal professional could also recruit a small number of personal disciples, and the relationship between master and apprentice with such a relationship would be closer.
Teachers often regard such students as heirs of the mantle, and will not only do their best to teach them all kinds of knowledge, but also pass on their own unique skills or life experiences to them, so that their careers can be passed on.
As long as the profession reaches a certain professional level, their lifespan will also increase. Over a long period of time, their relatives and parents will pass away one by one, while teachers and students who are also professionals may get along longer, and their relationship will increase with time.
It is also because of this that each professional is very cautious in accepting apprentices or apprentices (in this case, students who inherit the mantle). Otherwise, after getting along for a long time, there will be a conflict between the master and apprentice, and it will be a small trouble to be laughed at by others, in case it affects the inheritance of the mantle, it will be a big event.
For his own reasons, Kalido has never had the idea of accepting his own disciples. On the one hand, the talented magic apprentice is unwilling to worship him as a teacher for his own future, and on the other hand, Kalido does not want to be reluctant: forcing others will plant a bane for the future;
Of course, Carrido's achievements in alchemy and potion are not low, at least he can rank in the top three in the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, which gives him a certain right to speak in the academy. It is also because of this that Carrido also wants to find a student who is talented in pharmacy, at least to be able to pass on his research results in pharmacy, and Lin Feng is just right.
After the matter was decided, Carrido first took Lin Feng to the academy to report, this is also a process that must be followed, the personal disciple has the right to inherit, except for the teacher's personal or family belongings, everything related to the teacher's legal profession can be inherited by the personal student, especially some important legal knowledge and items, which are not allowed to flow out.
If the teacher does not have a family or the like, then all the things of the teacher will be inherited by the student he designates, and perhaps the student will start a family, and his teacher will become one of the ancestors of the family, so as to be remembered and commemorated.
Witnessed by a vice president of the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic, Lin Feng officially became the personal disciple of Master Carito. This made the crane-tailed, untalented magic apprentices in the academy envious and jealous for a while.
Although Kalido's magic level is not high, his achievements in alchemy and potions are not low, and he still has the patent rights for two special potions, well, this is Callido's improvement based on the formula of the ancient potion.
After becoming Carrido's personal disciple, Lin Feng and Carrido spent more and more time together, and the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious, and Lin Feng even had a feeling of father and son. In pharmacy, Lin Feng gradually revealed more talent.
Precise magic control, excellent memory, and ingenious imagination made Lin Feng feel like a fish in water in the process of learning pharmacy, and Carrido couldn't help but sigh many times, "You are a genius, born to live for pharmacy." ”
During this period, Carrido vouched for Lin Feng, so that Lin Feng only paid a small amount of gold coins to obtain the promotion method of a junior mage and related spell knowledge. After Lin Feng learned the meditation method of a junior mage, he was not promoted as expected, he was still stuck at the peak bottleneck of a fifth-level magic apprentice, which made him very depressed.
Carrido saw a lot of such situations, and comforted him: "Your time to learn magic is still too short, the various apprenticeship stages are too smooth, the accumulated magic power is still not enough, and your understanding of magic is not very thorough, it is normal to have such a bottleneck." ”
After hearing this, Lin Feng was in a much better mood, but he still didn't give up and asked: "Teacher, is there anything that increases magic power, I can clearly feel the bottleneck now, but it is not enough to break through it." ”
Carrido said: "This is really true, whenever the mage casts too much spell and the mana is exhausted, in addition to resting and meditating to recover naturally, they use the magic crystal to restore their mana loss. ”
"But," Carrido couldn't help but continue when he saw Lin Feng's happy face: "The magic crystal is not only expensive, it is also a strategic material, and the control of the empire is very strict, and it is generally not allowed to trade freely, that is, there is circulation within the mage union, but it must also reach the level of a great mage." ”
