Chapter 9: The Magic Test

Ryan thought about it carefully, today Flanner is hyped up as a magician, so let's hide the martial arts he learned from Teacher Galib. If your enemy wants to deal with you in the same way as an ordinary magician, when he tries his best to stick to him, he will definitely be defeated by his own martial arts in despair, which is a good way to turn defeat into victory. But this magic, you have to think about it. Listening to Flanner's tone, it seems that mages are now more focused on a certain line of magic, and testing all of them with their own magic will definitely cause a sensation.

Thinking of this, Ryan said to Fragimie, "Dear President Flajimi, I plan to conduct a fire and arcane test. ”

Flajimi didn't expect Ryan to be able to apply for the test of both lines, he looked at Ryan again in surprise and said, "Okay then." Let's start with the fire magic test. He pointed to a black stone tablet standing in the corner of the wall and said to Ryan, "You attack that stone tablet with first-level fire magic, and I can test it." ”

Ryan looked at the black slate erected in the corner, and his heart froze, and he suddenly remembered that his teacher Draena didn't seem to have systematically taught the magic of his various departments, but only picked out some more practical teachings. What is this fire level 1 magic?

Vlajimi looked at Ryan there in a daze, and couldn't help urging: "It's just the simplest level of magic, can it be used to meditate for so long?"

Ryan scratched his head embarrassedly and said to Vlajimi, "What is this fire level 1 magic?"

Both brothers opened their mouths wide and looked at Ryan in surprise, this young man didn't even know the first-level magic of the fire system, what was he doing here?

Vlajimi held back his anger and said: "The first-level magic of the fire system is illumination, and casting this magic can make the designated item emit a faint light, which is generally used in the dark and other occasions where it is impossible to see, and the item that is usually used is the magic wand we commonly use." But here's the test, you can use it against this black slate. ”

Ryan shook his head and said, "This magic is useless at all, you light yourself up in the night, isn't that just a reminder to the enemy that you are a target, hurry up and fight!"

Gilrion listened to Ryan's words and couldn't help but interject, "But how can you see things clearly without this magic?

Ryan said in his heart: "When Teacher Galib taught me martial arts, I was not allowed to make a sound on such occasions, that is, even my breathing had to be strictly controlled to ensure that the enemy could not find himself. Under this premise, stealth in the darkness to find and destroy enemies. If you cast a ball of light by yourself, it is estimated that your eyes suddenly changed from black to bright before you could get used to it, and you were knocked out by Mr. Galib. But Ryan didn't dare to say this, he looked at the flesh on Flajimi's face and jumped, and knew that he was working patiently, and if he talked nonsense again, maybe the elder would go berserk like a berserker.

Vlajmi looked at Ryan with a disapproving look on his face, a little dissatisfied, but considering that the Magic Guild was already very close to no one to test, he was ready to give Ryan another chance, and he said, "No? According to the Code of Conduct for the Wizard Test, if a tester can pass a higher level of testing, he or she can also receive a higher level of designation, but the maximum number of testers cannot exceed that of an intermediate magician. Let's put your magic to the test. ”

Vlajimi said: "For the sake of you, you are the first person to come to the test in the past two months, I will give you some relaxation, I will not test it level by level, what magic will you know, cast it one by one." ”

Ryan listened to Flajimi's words, and calculated in his heart that his fire-based magic would actually be a fireball technique, and he didn't know if he could pass the test. Anyway, let's cast one first.

Thinking of this, Ryan silently recited the incantation, and in less than 3 seconds, a ball of flame the size of a fist formed in his hand, turning into a crimson trajectory and flying towards the black stone slab. With a bang, the fireball exploded, but unlike usual, the flames were absorbed by the black slate and had no effect on the rest of the world.

Ryan's fireball technique startled Vlajimi and Gilrien, I didn't hear him recite the spell, why did he release it? And this fireball is not small, the fireball that he usually tests himself, under the absorption of this stone slab containing black iron, has not produced such great power.

A thought formed in the brothers' minds: "Did he use a magic object?"

It is rare for the two brothers to have such a tacit understanding, and at the same time said to Ryan: "You used magic items?" After speaking, the brothers you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly found that the elder brother (younger brother), who has always been incompatible, has the same mind as himself at this moment, and the two of them and their cooperation reached out together and scratched their heads.

Ryan looked at the two brothers who were moving the same way, and he suddenly realized that the two brothers actually looked alike.

Vlajimi looked at his brother with a warm gaze, then turned to Ryan and said, "Young man, the fireball spell you just released was cast by you yourself, and you used magic items?"

Ryan nodded: "Of course, I released it myself." Then he added in his heart: "A magic item that can release the fireball technique, then it doesn't cost hundreds of gold coins." I've already gone to exchange money for this thing, and I'm still wasting it here?"

Vlajmi looked at Ryan with suspicion, then at the slab containing black iron, and suddenly recited the incantation. After about five seconds, a ball of fire the size of five fists formed in his hand, emitting a dazzling light. Vlajimi completed the Fireball Technique, releasing it onto the black slate. With a bang, the fireball emitted a glowing firelight, which was absorbed by the black slate.

Vlajimi saw that the power of his fireball technique was the same as usual, and it should not be the problem of the black slate, and he turned his head to look at Ryan carefully, hoping to find some evidence from Ryan.

Gilrien looked at his brother and guessed what he was thinking, and he said to his brother, "Don't look for it, brother. You think, if there's a magic item that contains more fireball power than the fireball you unleash as a high-level mage, then it's at least a demi-artifact. ”

Flajmi thought about his brother's words carefully and felt that it made sense. Generally speaking, through various methods, a certain item can store magic, and the power of this storage magic is less than half of the original power. Otherwise, that junior magician can slowly make hundreds of magic items in normal times and release them during magic confrontations, wouldn't it be equivalent to hundreds of helpers in multiple places?

Vlajimi nodded and said, "You have a point." I didn't expect you to listen to the smart ones too. ”

Gilrien rarely got the approval of his brother, and said proudly: "Actually, I have always been very smart, and I don't look at whose brother I am!" But he said bitterly: "It's just that every time you hit me on the head, I am about to be beaten stupid by you." ”

When Flajimi heard his brother's words, he felt angry and funny, but thinking that he usually disciplines his younger brother more strictly, and his younger brother desperately reprimands him when he is a little out of line, and as a result, the relationship between the two brothers becomes more and more stiff, and they become a pair of enemies. He sighed and said to his younger brother: "You're right, I always think of you as the kid who ran around behind my ass when I was a child, so I usually manage you strictly, it seems that I was wrong and inhibited your development." I won't hit you on the head again. ”

Gilrien didn't expect his brother to say such affectionate words to himself, he was stunned for a while, and he said subconsciously: "Brother, you have beaten me for decades, and suddenly you don't beat me anymore, I'm not used to it." ”

The two brothers suddenly felt the strong affection for themselves in each other's hearts, and their hearts became very warm. Vlajmi looked at Ryan, it was the arrival of this teenager that eased the relationship between himself and his brother, but he always had to get the best result for him.

Thinking of this, Vlajimi said to Ryan, "Young man, your fireball skills are good, you can release any magic together." I'll evaluate you based on all of your strengths. ”

Ryan nodded, and raised his hand to a magic missile. With a "ping-pong", Ryan's magic missile hit the black stone slab, leaving an extremely shallow mark.

The result sent Flajimi and Gillian to take another deep breath. Incredible, incredible. Although it was only one of the most ordinary, first-level magic that even a magic apprentice who had only gone through a few months of spiritual meditation could cast, Ryan had achieved magic silent hair and magic smooth hair, and it was so powerful.

You must know that this black slab is not an ordinary slate, it is produced in the north of the Hengduan Mountains, and the slate contains rich black iron. Black iron is the most magic-absorbing of all known minerals. Generally speaking, such a large black iron slab can absorb more than ninety percent of the magic power. And the black iron itself is also very hard, and it is not easy to leave a mark on the stone slab containing black iron, and it is impossible to do it without a certain strength. Of the seven magicians in the Magic Guild of Elfa City, the only ones who can do this are the brothers Vlagimmy and Gilrien. And they all use magic above level 3.

According to the magic experience of the two brothers, if a magic is silent, it will reduce the magic power by almost one and a half, after all, without reciting the spell, it is naturally impossible to gather enough magic elements; Therefore, if Ryan's magic missile still causes such an amazing effect after achieving silent and smooth hair, doesn't that mean that the magic released by Ryan actually exceeds the third-level magic released by other magicians?

But surprise is surprise, magic evaluation has to be continued. Ryan's achievement is to successfully perform the fire-based third-level magic "Fireball Technique" once, and the arcane-type first-level magic "Magic Missile" once. According to the Wizard Test Code, in order to advance to the rank of Trainee Magician, one must be able to cast three different second-level spells in a row, while Junior Magicians are more demanding and require five different third-level magic, and so on.

Although Vlajimi carefully read the "Wizard Test Code" again, he could only regret to tell Ryan that he only passed the magic apprentice test and could only obtain the title of "magic apprentice". He personally gave Ryan a badge symbolizing the magic apprentice, and added a small flame symbolizing fire magic and a magic book symbolizing arcane magic to the badge.

Ryan's near-farcical mage test has finally come to an end.

Ryan walked out of the Wizard's Tower, and it was already getting a little dark outside. Ryan didn't expect to stay in it for so long. He vaguely remembered that he had gone to the Mercenary Guild almost when the sun had risen directly above the sky, and that the sun had only gone slightly to the west when he came to the Magic Guild, and now it was evening.

Seeing that Ryan finally came out of the tower, a proud doorman of the Lion King, who had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time, wearing blue and white clothes, hurriedly walked up, he took out a letter and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan opened it and saw that it was a letter from his new friend Franner. Flanner regretfully told Ryan in his heart that he had to leave first because of some things to deal with within the Chamber of Commerce, hoping that Ryan would have the opportunity to come to Yegnath City in the future. At the end of the letter, Franner mentions giving Ryan a Lion Pride Inn badge that he wants Ryan to carry with him, and with this badge, Ryan can enjoy VIP treatment for free in all of the Lion King's Pride Inn throughout Eslar.

Ryan received a badge engraved with the head of the lion king from the doorman's hand, and was very touched that his friend Franner, despite having something to deal with, still thought about himself in his heart, hoping to have the opportunity to see him again and thank him in person.

However, Ryan of the Lion's Pride Hotel is not going to continue to live, on the one hand, because although Flanner is very good to himself, he gave him a badge engraved with free service, but after all, Flanner is just an ordinary purchasing merchant of the Dorlock Chamber of Commerce, and the consumption of Lion King's Pride must be expensive, so why bother Flanna;

Ryan dismissed the doorman and decided to leave the city at once, just as he had gone into the Hengduan Mountains with Mr. Galib. Only in this kind of life can we engrave our will to exercise ourselves and maintain our fighting spirit!

Leaving Elfa City, Ryan followed the post road into the distance. Ryan was planning to stay in Alpha City for a while, so he was ready to find a better place tonight to prepare for a while to stay.

By the time the full moon hung in the clear night sky, Ryan was already seated by the roaring campfire. He was satisfied with the camp he had chosen: there was a deserted cave behind him, a little shallow, but enough to sleep a few people; outside the cave, where he lit a bonfire, was a flat meadow, which was very comfortable to sit on; there was a stream not far from the meadow, which provided him with clean water, and it was also very convenient to strip and wash the monsters; it was not very far from Elfa City, and the mercenary guild of Elfa did not have to travel too far every day. If there's another piece of fragrant roast, it's really perfect.

Ryan still ate at noon, and experienced the mercenary guild and the magic guild, in fact, Ryan was already hungry. Ryan was about to hunt some magical beasts to fill his stomach, when he suddenly heard a wolf howl not far away!

Ryan immediately threw the mess behind him, quickly stood up, blessed himself with a stone skin technique, and then watched warily at the place where the voice came from.

With the sound of a heavy object stepping on the grass, a demonic beast slowly walked out of the woods and appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. Ryan looked through the light of the campfire and was a stout white wind wolf. Ryan saw the white wind wolf in front of him, and his pupils couldn't help but tighten, it was actually walking on two legs!

The sound of "whoosh" sounded again, and behind the color-preserving wind wolf that walked upright, three gray-white wind wolves appeared, but these three gray-white wind wolves were walking on all fours, unlike the one who first appeared in front of Ryan who only walked on their hind limbs.

Ryan looked at the big three and four wind wolves vigilantly, and his head was fast thinking of countermeasures. Even the learned Dranay teacher hadn't told Ryan that a monster could walk on its hind legs only, so wasn't it the same as a human?

The stout wind wolf who walked on his hind limbs, saw Ryan standing in front of the bonfire looking at him with a vigilant gaze, and did not pounce directly like an ordinary demonic beast, but calmed the three little wind wolves beside him and walked towards Ryan alone.

Ryan was nervous when he saw it walking towards him. Even if it is a seventh-level earth bear like Ryan pounced viciously, Ryan is not afraid, although the earth bear has great strength, rough skin and thick flesh, and strong defense, but the speed is poor, as long as it swims with it and slowly consumes its strength, it can always find an opportunity to give a fatal blow. But what is this monster in front of him, Ryan doesn't know, people tend to be afraid of unfamiliar things, not only people, but also huge monsters.

Luckily, the Stout Wind Wolf was standing far away from Ryan. He looked at Ryan carefully, and a look very similar to that of a man appeared on his face, and a low, slightly wolf howl voice suddenly came out of his mouth: "Hello, adventurer. ”
