Chapter 243: Testing
Donner was led down the long hallway by the young man Madtim to a side room.
The windows in the hall were bright and clean, and behind the beautiful log long tables, sat several Maitim girls who were in charge of reception.
The young man took Donner to a table, and after a few words, bowed and left.
"You're here to join the club?" Lady Madtim, like the guy before, was very polite, presumably because of Donner's Helian status - as far as Donner could see, it was rare to see Helians in the Magic Circle Association building.
"Yes. Donner replied with a smile.
"Would you please register first?"
As she spoke, the girl handed over a form.
It didn't take long for Donner to fill out the form and hand it back to the girl.
After the girl took it, she glanced at it and unconsciously showed an expression of "as it is".
Donner knew she must have seen the words "Inspectorate".
Come to think of it, if it weren't for joining the Governor's Society, the noble Helian wouldn't have wasted their time on the magic array. This is also the reason why Helians are rarely seen in the association.
"Wait a minute. The girl stood up, bowed slightly, and left her office.
It was a moment before she brought a middle-aged gray-robed mage with her, who was also a Madium.
"This is Master Cook," the girl said, "and it's this Young Master John who has applied for membership." ”
Master Cook picked up the form, smiled at Donner and nodded, and then said to the girl, "No problem, you can start the test." ”
It can be seen that the reason why the girl asked Mage Cook to take a look should be to confirm whether Donner's magician level has reached the level of a bluebird mage.
After this, the girl took Donner to a studio, pointed to a large test bench in the center of the room, and said:
"Young Master John, the materials and tools are all on the table, please complete a first-level magic array independently. ”
"Is it okay to have any magic array?" Donner wondered.
"It's okay, as long as it's a first-level magic array. ”
"Is there a time limit?"
"There are no limits. The girl smiled and shook her head.
Donner sat down in front of the test bench, waited a while, and when he saw that the girl was still standing in front of him, he asked, "Aren't you going out?"
The girl was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry...... Master John......"
"I see, you're worried about the magic array I have prepared in advance, right?" asked Donner with a smile.
The girl nodded: "Actually...... The branches of associations in the major holy institutes are not so strict, so few people come to the headquarters to apply for membership......"
Donner nodded, picked up the paintbrush on the table, and looked up again: "You should move a chair and sit for a while, I'm afraid it will be a bit long." ”
Then, instead of paying attention to the girl's reaction, he opened the magic gold bottle, dipped the tip of the pen, and drew the first stroke on the animal skin in front of him.
With a slight movement of his wrist, with the regular shaking of his fingers, the neat and beautiful curves flow from the tip of the pen.
It didn't take long for five almost identical curves to spread outward around the reserved magic crystal shape.
When the five curves were half a finger long, he changed his brush, dipped it in another series of magic gold, repeated the action just now, and drew five more curves with slight differences.
......
The twenty-five magic curves are all completed, and both the lines themselves and the density of the distribution are just right, almost perfect.
Girl Madtim's eyes remained on the tip of the pen that kept moving, and she never left it for a moment, and she had never seen such a steady, confident hand in the hands of another person applying for membership.
What's more, contrary to what Master John prompted, he finished drawing twenty-five magic curves, which took a very short time. Even if Master Cook did it himself, it wouldn't be faster than him.
In fact, Donner is not wrong, the time is indeed a bit long, but this time is for Donner.
At this time, with the blessing of Azure Douqi, the speed of time he felt was too slow compared to others.
If it weren't for the attainments of a fourth-level spiritual mage, he might not have been able to persist in concentrating for such a long time.
Even so, after drawing the magic part, he put down his brush and took a short rest.
"What's your name?" Donner realized he didn't know the name of the girl in front of him.
"Céline. The girl's eyes remained on the half-drawn magic circle.
"Don't you really have to sit for a while?" he asked with a smile, "It's only a third of the way through." ”
"I bet if Master Cook were here, seeing your first strokes would have made you pass......" said the girl named Selene earnestly.
Downer knew that what she was saying wasn't necessarily a lie.
In the Magic Continent, because there are all kinds of powerful magic potions, young people who are new to magic only need to draw a few hundred elements.
In the first year of his study of magic, Donner almost never stopped practicing drawing primitives, and he probably drew tens of thousands of primitives in total.
After such a large amount of practice, he was able to draw a perfect element with one stroke even if he closed his eyes.
And that's just one of them.
During the period when he was studying pharmacy, he had already trained his hands to be extremely stable in order to pursue a perfect pharmaceutical reaction.
Coupled with the help of Azure Douqi, it can be said that the speed and accuracy of Donner's drawing of the magic array, even if it has not reached the master level, will not be too far behind.
All he lacked was experience and a big-picture view in the process of drawing magic strategies.
And this point, if you can't find another way, can only rely on time to accumulate.
......
After standing up, taking a few steps, and stretching for a moment, Donner sat down again.
Among the twenty-five magic curves, at the end of the twenty, each drew a special symbol with the corresponding magic gold - the symbol that directly releases the magic energy - this is one of the criteria for drawing magic arrays, in order to ensure the utilization rate of magic crystals, any series of magic arrays, must evenly export five systems of magic energy, and release four of them.
Then, he extended the remaining five magic curves one by one, and began to draw the magic strategy part.
He didn't pursue one stroke to the end - this is impossible to do, even the mental power of a high-level mage is not enough to resist the mental impact accumulated by drawing hundreds of elements in a row - but only draw a small section at a time, which has the advantage of being able to observe the overall situation of the magic strategy part at any time and make adjustments in the next stroke.
At this time, there will be a problem that no one can avoid in the process of drawing the magic array.
That is, between each pen and the next pen, the line and the line connection, it is inevitable that there will be imperfect nodes, when there are too many such nodes too often, it will affect the effect of the magic array, and in serious cases, it will even lead to the failure of the entire magic array.
As for the impact of the number of nodes on the magic array, the experienced magic array master can see the general idea at a glance.
Selene wasn't a master of the magic array, but that didn't stop her from seeing how amazing the magic array she was drawing was—she couldn't find a single node on it.
Yes, with the blessing of the Azure Fighting Qi of the official knight level, Donner's movement speed may not be able to keep up with the speed of consciousness, but he can perform any operation in great detail, including every near-perfect connection.
In Selene's eyes, every stroke he made seemed to be drawn by hand, and only Donner himself knew that he was working in slow motion several times or even a dozen times.
