Chapter Twenty-Six: The Talent Test Begins
Qi Li'er cut off a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, "Even if I have a high level, it's actually not very useful, after all, I am in the decline period of magic, and many key things have been lost, compared to the junior magicians hundreds of years ago, I should be weak." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Weak? That's not just a casual solution for the two of us! Lin Ye slandered.
"Qi Li'er, can you guide us on the knowledge of magic?" Lin Ye asked earnestly.
"Of course you can, but not right now. You haven't passed the aptitude test, and I can't teach you according to the academy's rules. You must not have found anything in the city to collect information, right? The rules of the academy are common among the wizard and alchemist worlds. All you can do is wait for the talent test to begin. ”
Lin Ye sighed lightly and continued to sweep the food in front of him. No matter how much you ask, it is the same result, and instead of trying to worry and be nervous, it is better to relax and deal with it calmly.
In the next few days, Lin Ye and Amy spent the next few days practicing swordsmanship, and soon the day of the talent test came.
As soon as the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on Morin Academy, a young magician took Lin Ye and the two to the city gate of Morin Academy. At first, there were only three or two people standing there, and then fifty or sixty people came one after another, all of them participants in this talent test, and they were also competitors of the two.
Teacher Ai Wen, surrounded by two other old men, walked in front of everyone and personally presided over the test.
Teacher Evan cleared his throat and said, "You all know what you're here for, so I won't say more. Now it's the first part of the talent test, the field test. You should all know about the content of the talent test from various sources, but are the answers all ambiguous? The following idea test and interview can be understood literally, but do you have any doubts about the field test? The location of the field test is indeed in the field, and the content of the test is very simple, as long as you survive in the field for fifteen days, and during this time you come up with the answer to the question of what is the essence of magic and alchemy, and come out and tell me. Don't be perfunctory, your answers will determine whether you are qualified to study magic or alchemy. Now come and get a dagger, get in the wagon, and go to the testing ground. ”
"Teacher Aiwen, won't you give us food? without food, we won't survive fifteen days. One asked.
Teacher Ai Wen smiled, "I said that you are surviving in the wild, and you still want food? Don't worry, there are many animals there, and there is plenty of food, of course you have to be able to catch them." The hundred-year period is coming in a blink of an eye, and if you can't survive this kind of wild survival, then you might as well die early, and you can reduce the pain of facing the army of the undead in the future. Hurry up, you don't have to participate if you have any questions."
Everyone was in a state of panic, and hurriedly rushed forward to the guards to get the daggers, and then jumped into a carriage. Each carriage was large enough for six people, and a total of thirteen carriages drove mightily to the place of trial.
Riding in the same carriage with Lin Ye and Amy were four boys of the same age as Amy, Lin Ye tried to talk to them, and one more friend would give him more hope of surviving in the wild. But they all love to ignore it, and some people even looked at Lin Ye with disdain in their eyes. The reason Lin Ye can probably guess that the children who come to participate in the talent test are basically children around ten years old, but he is fourteen years old, and it is a bit too old to learn magic and alchemy at this age, and it is very likely that he will not even be able to pass the talent test.
After trying to no avail, Lin Ye simply leaned on the edge of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, unwilling to stick his hot face on the cold buttocks. Even if it was just him and Amy, he was sure to survive in the wild for fifteen days.
I don't know how long it took, a forest appeared in everyone's field of vision. The forest looks vast, and the thick greenery washes everyone's heart, making their inner impatience gradually subside. On the surface, the food here should be abundant as Mr. Evan said, and even if you eat some wild fruits, you should be able to survive for fifteen days, but how to answer his question needs to be thought about slowly.
The rolling wheels slowly stopped, and everyone was driven out of the carriage by the guards, and then with a long roar of the horses, all the carriages went back along the path, leaving a group of people at a loss.
"Wow-wow-"
The crow's oozing cry came from the forest, and the silence was replaced by fear in an instant. Some timid people stood there and cried, and many of them were also trembling. After all, they are basically children who have never seen much of the world, and once they leave the protection of their parents, fear is inevitable.
"Let's go, Amy, the forest for the talent test is much safer than the one we hunted for ghouls. Lin Ye beckoned to Amy and strode into the forest. The others hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and walked in.
Because the forest is so dense, the sun hanging high cannot shine into every inch of the forest, and as you go deeper and deeper, a chill also wells up in your heart. Lin Ye carefully observed the surroundings, and from time to time he could see a few rabbits jumping happily in the bushes. It's true that there are plenty of animals here, as Evan said, but their food really seems to be only animals. After walking for so long, Lin Ye couldn't even see a single edible wild fruit, and if they didn't hunt, they would only have to eat moss and gnaw on the bark.
Hunting animals was very easy for Lin Ye and the others, but it was too difficult for them to kill the animals, peel them and take out the internal organs, and then make them into food. First of all, they can't get their hands dirty, and secondly, they can't cook, and grilling food over a fire can't guarantee that the baked food will be edible. At the moment, they can only take one step at a time, and if they hesitate, they will not pass the test, and it will be difficult to even survive.
Amy clasped her arms and tried to warm herself up, "Big brother, what are we going to do?"
"Let's go and look for water first, there will be no shortage of animals near water, and we will definitely survive fifteen days in a place like this. Lin Ye said.
Under Lin Ye's search, a stream was found by him. But instead of stopping, they went upstream, looking for the source of the stream. The two kept climbing up and down, like two dexterous springboks, moving quickly in the forest. The hard work paid off, the vision ahead slowly widened, and the crystal blue lake revealed its moving face. The sparkling surface of the lake is crystal clear, and some fish swim lazily, not jumping out of the water to enjoy the warmth of the sun.
"This is it. Lin Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to Amy to act. They chose a large and sturdy tree, climbed up and cut off a few sturdy branches, cut off the excess branches with a dagger, and sharpened the front end, and a simple fishing tool was complete.
Although medium-sized herbivores such as deer can be seen nearby, they have made a decisive decision to eat fish. It takes skill and eyesight to plug in the fish, and unfortunately neither of them has the skills at the moment. Lin Ye worked on it for a long time, until he was exhausted, and he didn't even fork a fish.
Amy's voice of surprise was heard, and a writhing fish on the wooden fork was brought out of the water. Lin Ye sighed, it wasn't a problem to survive for an afternoon, but if he wanted to survive by eating fish a few days ago, it was obviously unrealistic.
