Chapter 177: Interrogation (I)
Shennongjiao space, looking at the past, a piece of green, the growth is very gratifying.
The space is filled with aromas, which makes people very pleasant, Luo Meng strolls along the path by the river, but at this time, he is checking the changes in the space of Shennong Point.
A faint tiny point of light appeared in front of his eyes, and quickly magnified into a translucent data frame, which floated in his field of vision with a faint sense of light, and a large amount of data appeared in front of his eyes.
Name: Qian Pinji (Luo Meng) Life Race: Human (Elven Bloodline Level 3 Activation) Class: First Authority Master of Space, Level 4 Druid Life Caste: Strength 12 (10), Agility 16 (10), Constitution 12 (10), Intelligence 14 (10), Perception 17 (10), Charisma 15 (10) The following is the message "Discover high-quality fertilizer, you can move in by name!" This message is outdated.
"The high-quality fertilizer has deteriorated, and the potency has been removed by 95%, so it can be named!"
Luo Meng looked carefully at the corpses of the two little devils on the ground, how could they have deteriorated with just one effort? The corpses did not show any signs of decay!
Thinking of the smoke dissipating from the corpse, and the black symbol that had existed, Romon thought for a moment.
Perhaps, next time, after killing the demon, you can move to the space immediately and see what changes.
"Take the name, little devil corpse. Luo Meng said, just finished speaking, and suddenly, the two corpses sank, sank into the ground, and decomposed, Luo Meng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Almost at the same time, in the small mining village, the afternoon sun was close to dusk, shining on the whole world on a road leading to the small mining village, a cold wind was blowing, and the seedlings of winter wheat that had just been planted in the fields were swaying in the wind, and five horsemen were galloping on the road.
When the small mining village arrived, a knight in the middle, stopped his horses, took a deep breath in the wind, and looked at the farmland, and the relatively magnificent fence in the countryside.
What a good territory, the knight thought.
He wore glittering armor with the emblem of the Lord of Radiance, and the horses below were equally strong.
The cavalry behind was obviously much inferior, wearing chain mail and having no right to engrave the emblem of the Lord of Radiance.
At a glance, you can know that this knight in front of you is the paladin of the Lord of Radiance, a profession that must also reach the fifth level, of course, they don't need to be the same as the noble knights, receive advanced education, do not need to abide by the knight's creed, they have a holy fighting spirit, and will have some simple blessings and healing magic, they are the knights of God, only God's will, and the orders of the church are obeyed.
The knight looked at the hills and the walls again, and the hills were very beautiful in the setting sun, and there were figures walking around on the hills, and on the walls.
"My lord?" someone in the back reminded him, "Huh...... Let's go to this village and wait for this lord!" said the paladin, sneering, and rode his horse, when a dark cloud passed over his head.
When the cavalry approached, they did not stop, and rushed straight to the door, and at the wall, there was a commotion, and the people of the village guard immediately drew their weapons, and the bows and arrows on the arrow tower were also pointed.
The knight sneered and shouted, "I am the paladin Sangerber of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, and on the orders of the bishop, I have come to take the lord of your family to the city to talk. ”
The words themselves are still relatively polite, but the tone has that kind of life and death atmosphere.
The sun was shining, and the paladin Sangerber squinted his eyes without the slightest fear, and sure enough, after a few moments, the door opened.
The paladin Sangerber smiled disdainfully, this is the authority and glory of the Lord, no one can disobey it.
In the city of Aps, at dusk at the end of October, shrouded in a golden light, the noise had not yet been extinguished, and Rolek walked through the gravel streets, where he could see patrolling soldiers in several places.
Rolek clenched a letter of recommendation in his hand and searched for the address.
18 Carbith Road, almost to the point.
Thinking of this, Rolek looked around.
Here, most of the middle class is located.
Although the city of Apus has not been carefully planned, it is still divided into several parts: the slum area, the commercial area, the distribution area (dock area), the middle class area, the aristocratic area, and the city lord area.
Needless to say, the slums were crowded and noisy, full of sewage, foul smell, and there were few security teams, and most of the mercenaries lived here before they were developed.
Needless to say, the commercial area and the distribution area (dock area) are mixed, and the busy freight and commerce are full.
As the name suggests, the aristocratic area is generally a place where people with aristocratic status live, of course, professionals above level 5 can also be, and it has been renovated, sewers, boulevards, libraries, theaters, etc., with a beautiful environment and pleasant scenery.
The middle production area is here now, there are basically sewers, there are also boulevards, and generally rich people and low-level mages live here, basically clean and tidy, and the law and order is good.
No. 18 Carbith Road, found, Rolek looks, this is a chic little building, small in size, and there are large windows upstairs with glass inlays.
It is surrounded by a wooden fence, a standard wooden fence, and there is a small garden inside, and the gate is an iron gate, which can be seen through the gap, and behind the door is a path paved with stones, which winds up to the front of the small building.
Rolek's eyes lit up, he sank his breath, and when he noticed a bell on the door, he shook it.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged man who looked like a butler came up and asked.
"This is Mr. Alec's home, I'm Rolek, an apprentice in magic, and I brought a letter from Baron Roccas. Lorek said uneasily, took out the letter, and handed it over.
"Oh, wait a minute!" said the middle-aged butler.
The sun was shining outside, but in the small building, it was a little bleak, and the housekeeper went upstairs and felt that the sun was slowly sinking into the west, and soon, night was coming.
The study was pushed open, and a young man was engaged in copying, his hair was thinning, and he had a particularly broad forehead, as if he had not noticed that someone had entered, and this person was of course Master Alec.
The housekeeper was light-hearted, and the study had an open window on the wall, but at this time, there would be no sunlight, and the room was already slightly dim.
The first thing the butler did was to take out the brass candlesticks on the coffee table in front of the leather sofa by the west fireplace, and the light was bright, and the butler first took out the candles made of fine beeswax, and inserted them one by one, straight into five, stopped, and took out the fire fold, and lit them one by one.
At this time, the room lit up.
The butler carefully moved the candle to the desk in the study, and the Alec mage did not raise his head, and continued to transcribe the magic scroll.
The so-called magic scroll is to see the magic condensed in the scroll.
Therefore, copying scrolls, first of all, is a costly work, because the transcription must be made of parchment, and only a small piece of a good parchment can be used, so one has 1 gold coin, followed by magic ink and magic pen, which must be spent at a good price.
Of course, the most important thing is that once a magic scroll is transcribed, whether it succeeds or not, the magic power in the mage's body suffers a corresponding loss.
Time passed, and the butler waited quietly on the side, while the sun dimmed.
Finally, the last magic symbol was written, and the entire parchment lit up, indicating that the scroll was complete.
This is a second-level magic "protective arrow", which can gain defense against arrows in 3 hours, and of course, it will dissipate after multiple attacks, making it one of the best choices for nobles to prevent assassination.
Just this one, you can earn 20 gold coins, Alec Mage stretched out his arm in satisfaction, and then said, "Rick, what's the matter?"
"My lord, a magic apprentice named Rolek has brought a letter from Baron Rocas asking to see you. The butler said respectfully and handed the letter up.
"Oh, take a look...... Oh, it's a letter of introduction, huh, these nobles always want to stuff people in, what are we mages?" said Alec mage, humming.
His teacher, Sackville, recently entered the first level and became a sixth-level mage, and he also rose to the top, and became a third-level mage, and he could accept apprenticeship, faintly, the status was different, and he had recently received several recommendations from nobles and friends, which made him a little bored.
"Hey, Luo Meng's friend when he was a child, he cultivated two level 0 magic books according to the books, and he is only seventeen years old this year?"
Those who can do this are people with considerable potential in magic.
The practice of a sorcerer is basically a tradition of a several, one-teacher mentoring three or four students at a time, and the students either provide regular services to the teacher or exchange money for instruction in magic.
The content of the guidance is related to the mood of the teacher, the contribution of the students, the distance between the close and the close, and of course, the talent of the students, and everyone wants to see the students who are serious about learning.
Of course, there are not many people who can really become talents.
Moreover, although there is no strict master-apprentice inheritance relationship in China on the earth, the interests of the cultivated mages are basically the same, and the mages who betray their teachers will be despised and ostracized by the entire mage world.
Although the Academy of Magic has recently opened, it is not yet a climate.
Master Alec became a third-level mage, and he was also willing to have several students, of course, first of all, students with a large amount of donations, which could bring him good profits, which was short-term profits, and secondly, students with really good talents could also bring long-term benefits.
After thinking about it, Master Alec said, "Let him in!"
"Yes, sir!" said the butler, and withdrew.
After a while, Rolek followed, and when he came in, he saw the hexagonal badge of the young man behind the desk, and immediately bowed and said, "Master Alec, salute you." ”
With this badge, they were granted freedom of entry, freedom from urban servitude, exemption from taxes, and even without going through the mage's guild or being tried by the local lord's court.
At a glance, Alec let out a "huh", although he didn't use the mage's eye, but the faint aura on his body could still be felt, and it seemed that what he said was true.
Alec waved his hand, glanced at Mon, and said, "You are the magic apprentice recommended to me by Baron Roccas?
Rolek saluted the mage: "Yes, I learned mage meditation and introductory, there is a spell on it, and later I learned the second spell in the baron's study, which is the dance light technique and the mage trick!"
"Oh, can you do it now?" Alec listened, his brow twitching.
"Yes, my lord, I'll do it. When Lorek heard this, he was very excited, he tried to calm his mood, and began to recite the spell silently, and in a moment, a little light flashed on him, and the clothes on Rolek's body suddenly became clean as if they had been washed.
"Well, a good mage trick, next. Alec said calmly.
A moment later, a cloud of light exploded in the air.
"......" Alec didn't speak, and it was because he was a mage that Alec could understand the difficulty of a townman's son learning two level 0 spells through self-study.
Do you want to give him a chance?
Alec thought heavily, and for a moment, his gaze was solemn, staring at the young, frightened face across from him, and the light in his eyes.
The ups and downs of fate did not take away his ideals and pursuits, that is, the light.
After a period of unbearable silence, Alec finally said, "Rollec, you passed my exam, and if you want, from today onwards, you will be my apprentice." Now I want to talk about your treatment and the requirements of the job. ”
"Yes, teacher!" Rolek replied politely.
Alec said: "Since you have no money, no house, no tools, nothing, according to custom, you must work for free for five years, unless, of course, you reach the third level of mage, or pay me back 3,000 gold coins." ”
"As for room and board, you get a small room for free, and three free meals a day. As a benefit, every week, you can get an hour of lectures from me, but you can't ask questions, you can't talk, and the same is true during working hours, you can only watch, you can only do, you can't ask me to answer, understand?"
Lorek listened and nodded seriously: "Teacher, you are a generous person. I am willing to serve you. ”
"It's too late today, tomorrow, let's sign a magic contract, now, you go and get acquainted with this place first, and go to your room, the workshop in this building, I'll show you around tomorrow, and also, this is ten gold coins, and all your living expenses this year are here, so you have to work, understand?"
Rolek bent down and bowed: "Teacher, I understand." ”
Then he followed the butler down, and passed the dimly lit staircase before his feelings burst out, his chest heaving, tears oozing from his eyes, and he was almost out of breath.
Lorek, you've finally made it to this day.
He said to himself.
