Under Hamfest's "threat", Ryan had to reluctantly agree, Hamfest nodded with satisfaction, and said to Ryan: "Don't worry, I will personally do this test for you, and it is in my exclusive practice venue, you don't have to worry about being known by outsiders, unless you can't trust me, an old man."

Ryan smiled dumbly, and said to Hamfest, "If the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild can't believe it, I really can't find anyone in this world who can be trusted. ”

Ryan's obvious compliment to Hamfest made the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild laugh too, and in the midst of the continuous laughter, Hamfest waved his hand and summoned a white strong light to envelop both himself and Ryan, and then the white light burst into dazzling brilliance in an instant, and Hamfest and Ryan were also teleported.

After the white halo wrapped around his body disappeared, Ryan let out a long sigh, just now Hamfest didn't ask Ryan for advice and directly took Ryan to teleport, obviously this elder's own strength is definitely not an ordinary magister, in Ryan's impression, only a few people such as Victor and Blair can do this, so Ryan's heart has completely no intention of underestimating the Imperial Capital Magic Guild or the elder in front of him.

The destination of Hamfest's teleportation this time is an empty space, where you can't see the edge at all, looking up at the night sky, the stars in the sky seem to be able to be picked off as soon as you stretch out your hand, looking down on the earth, the endless greenery is also lifelike, but Ryan understands that these are just illusions, and the training ground here and his teacher Draen's magic tower are made with the same principle, this should also be the same skill as the ** teacher Melun, right?

"Alright, here it is. Hamfest smiled and said: "This kind of private test does not need to follow the rigid rules, but some of the most basic requirements still have to be followed, whether you are clear or not, I have to explain to you first, this is a necessary procedure." ”

"Please!" Ryan unconsciously used an honorific that was his heartfelt respect for the strong man with strength.

"Don't be so restrictive, in fact we should all be in the same vein. Hamfest said: "As the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, of course I will know all the secrets, such as the ** master Meren once formulated a complete set of magician training methods, but unfortunately it was later burned by a fire." ”

"However, Merlen still left something in another way, I once saw a few words in one of his diaries, but unfortunately the words on it are unknown, but according to my own guess, Merlen ** should have given these things to his youngest student, Jiexi. Since you are wearing the magic mask that Jiexi never left back then, you must have some kind of relationship with this magic master, so strictly speaking, we are all the descendants of the ** master Merlen back then. ”

Ryan didn't make any comments on Hamfest's words, but Hamfest knew that he had guessed correctly, but the topic was not suitable for continuation, and all the two of them had a very tacit understanding that they did not mention this matter again, as if Hamfest had never said anything before.

Hamfest continued to talk about some of the main points in the magic test: "The level of magicians is roughly divided into four types: magic apprentice, magician, magician, and ** master, like magician, and includes elementary, intermediate, and advanced. These levels of detail are artificially designed, and it doesn't mean that they are correct, but there is always a standard to measure them. ”

"The only reference to this criterion is the magical power of the magician himself, and in order to test and compare these powers, we rank a wide variety of magic according to the difficulty of using the magic, etc., and evaluate the magician himself according to the level of magic mastered by the magician. In fact, magic itself is impossible to scale, for example, the power of the same fireball magic released by Faras is absolutely incomparable to that released by Victor, so there are many contradictions in this system. ”

"At this point, you may ask, why do you want to keep this system alive when there are so many problems?" Hamfest explained: "It's like a country, although there are often cases of nobles oppressing the commoners, but without the country, the commoners of the country will face greater suffering because they have lost their protection, for example, being taken by the orcs and becoming slaves, and life is better than death." ”

"Of course, in order to maintain this magic system, we have added a lot of improvements over the years. Hamfest said with a smug face: "A level 3 magic fireball spell, released by a junior magician, a standard chanting time is 5 seconds, the attack distance is 20 to 30 meters, and the explosion power is 3 to 5 meters in radius. Well, if it is a high-level mage to release it, maybe the cast time is shorter, maybe it flies farther, and the damage is more powerful, then we can directly increase the fireball spell released by the latter by one or more levels. In this way, the latter's fireball spell is more powerful, and its magic level is no longer level 3, but level 4 or even 5. ”

"It's like the difference between the Fireball Technique and the Flame Explosion Technique, in fact, the latter is simply a variant of the former, but it can play a greater role in certain situations, so over time it has evolved into a new magic. "This improvement can solve the problems I mentioned earlier, and it can also solve the problem that magicians create their own magic that is difficult to classify," said Hamfest. We only need to find a few of the most commonly used magic spells in each of the ten magic levels in advance, and spend some time carefully formulating the detailed parameters of these spells, then we can use this as a basic basis to measure and compare other spells. ”

"It sounds complicated, but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense, and you can solve a lot of problems with this kind of improvement. Ryan exclaimed, "This is a feat!"

"Well, in fact, the whole improved system has not been actually implemented, the power of habit is powerful, even the forbidden spell can only change the long-standing view of something in the human mind" Hamfest suddenly said: "But Ryan, you will be the first user of this system, but unfortunately the whole testing process cannot be made public." ”

"I'm honored!" Ryan happily agreed, "I don't care about fame and fortune at all, if I can better pursue the power of magic, I am willing to give up those flashy illusions." ”

"Hehe, that's all it takes for you to think like that, well, without further ado, let's get started. Hamfest said, "Are you ready?"

"Ready, Elder. Ryan replied loudly.

"Very well, I'll go and have a glass of wine first, would you like one?" said Hamfest who nearly fell to the ground.

"This ......" The only thing Ryan can do now is to desperately slander this Elder of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild.

"Well, let's test your level 1 magic first. Hamfest picked up a crystal cup with his left hand, took a sip of the bright red Bordeaux, and said slowly: "Actually, Level 1 magic is completely basic practice magic, and generally speaking, it is not used at all in formal battles. Ryan, according to the rules of the test, you must use three different spells for each level of magic, now aim at those targets. ”

After Hamfest finished speaking, he pointed to the bouncing edelweiss rabbit on the ground with his right hand, and continued to speak: "I have a good idea to use level 1 magic to deal with level 1 magical beasts, right? Of course, these targets are illusory, you don't have to worry that they will actively attack you, in other words, you have plenty of time to cast spells, and once these targets are attacked by you, they will disappear, and the various parameters of your magic will be collected by the entire magic array and used to compare with those magic with detailed standards." ”

"Okay. Ryan nodded, flicked it casually, and released a magic missile, which easily hit the Edelweiss Rabbit closest to him, and the Edelweiss Rabbit immediately emitted a slight white light after being hit, and the whole body gradually faded, leaving only a rough outline of the shape of the body. After a few seconds, the entire looming silhouette of the body slowly disappeared into thin air.

"Well, magic missiles, magic that magicians use. Hamfest nodded slightly, and then he saw Ryan fill his palm with the energy of lightning, grabbing at the other Edelweiss, and then grabbing the third Edelweiss with the flaming palm.

Hamfest doesn't think that the "Lightning Hand" and "Burning Hand" are low-level magic for magic apprentices to practice, but if Adela and the others were here, they would definitely scoff at Hamfest's thoughts, because this kind of magic that seems to be of little use has a huge effect in Ryan's hands, and the simplest way to use it is to deal with enemies who try to attack the mage at close range.

"This mirror image technique is a good use. Hamfest took another sip of wine, and couldn't help but praise a few words in his heart, because Ryan used this level 2 magic to directly conjure 6 mirror images in front of him, in fact, according to the magic level increase rules that Hamfest said before, the magic released by Ryan should have exceeded level 3 in terms of level.

And Ryan did not wait for the previous magic to end before releasing a magic of love, but directly began to bless the "power of the bull" and "the sensitivity of the civet" on the 6 mirror images, looking at the red and green light that appeared on the 6 Ryan at the same time, Hamfest drank the wine in the crystal cup in one gulp and threw it to the ground, and at the same time, the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild also slapped excitedly, because he found the "burning hand" and "lightning hand" on the 6 Ryan mirror hands The effect hadn't gone away, and Hamfest had immediately guessed that Ryan's purpose was to keep the enemy at bay.
