Chapter 15: Warrior Assessment
When he woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Derpy floating at the head of the bed, Ivo closed his eyes and sighed: "It's a pity that you don't go to make ghost movies." ”
"I'm going to tell Master Cohen that there's something wrong with your brain. Derpy pouted, placed the steak and baked mashed potatoes on the table, and floated away, Derpy could touch inanimate objects, but not living people, so she was a maid.
The unfortunate boy had nothing to tell the truth, Ivo sighed, sat up and swept the steak and mashed potatoes into his stomach, the sauce was so fragrant that he was in good spirits.
After breakfast, Ivo came to Cohen's research room on the fourth floor, Cohen was fiddling with research tools, and when he saw Ivo arriving, he said, "I need to study your physique, come and sit down here." ”
Ivo shrugged indifferently and sat on a metal chair with a semicircular glass cover over his head, much like a torture chair and a ironing machine.
"This is the Memory Witchcraft Amplification Device, a tool made of alchemy to enhance the effect of memory searches. ”
Memory Search is a seventh-level sorcery that can be easily used by white-robed wizards, and Cohen relies on this device to barely perform it.
Cohen took out a lot of strange spell casting materials and chanted softly, there are four factors required for witchcraft to be cast, spell materials, spells, spell casting gestures, and original magic sequences. The more advanced the sorcery, the more materials are required to cast it.
The original canon records the magic sequence of witchcraft, the original canon is very long, thousands of words are considered small, and there are even as many as more than 100,000 words of the original canon, and if you can't understand the magic sequence in it, the original canon is like a bunch of gibberish and can't be memorized.
The wizard comprehends the original texts to sort the mana, construct a spell model, and engrave it into the brain domain, so that he has the initial qualification to release the witchcraft.
The wizard then summarizes his understanding of the canon into spells and spell-casting gestures, using the casting materials as a medium to communicate the spell model of the brain domain, so that the spell can be successfully cast.
It takes a long time for a wizard to learn a witchcraft, reciting the original scriptures, building models, generalizing spells and gestures, even if it is a level zero witchcraft, it takes about three days to learn.
As the wizard's understanding of the principles of witchcraft deepens, the simpler the spells and gestures generalized, and the corresponding casting time will be greatly reduced, so the six-ring gray-robed wizard Cohen can use low-level witchcraft at will.
At this time, Cohen chanted with great fanfare, indicating that this witchcraft was of a high level and that it was difficult to cast spells.
Silver threads drilled out of Cohen's head, as agile as a snake, connected to the brain amplification device, the silver silk thread emitted a dreamlike starlight, the light chips flew away, and the brain amplification device lit up and buzzed.
Ivo was so calm that even the Demon Lord of Purgatory couldn't read through his memories, and he didn't worry about revealing secrets, and Demacia had said that no one would be able to see his memories unless the Witch King himself cast a spell.
There is an invisible barrier guarding the deepest part of Ivo's brain, as if the door is sealed by chains, and no one can see what is behind the door, not even the archdemon understands why, Ivo guesses that maybe because he has crossed over, so there is some abnormality.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Cohen gasped and was shocked, "Why can't I see your memory?"
Ivo patted his chair, "Maybe it's time for this thing to be overhauled." ”
"Forget it, then study your blood first. ”
Cohen didn't suspect going anywhere else, after all, the spell was beyond his ability, and it was not surprising that it would not succeed.
He took out a small knife, cut it in Ivo's arm, and used a small bowl to catch some blood, and put it on the research table to tinker with the research.
Ivo is also not worried about the blood being detected, the core of the mimic is the heart, when there is no fight, the blood all over the body is in the form of a normal race, once he fights or transforms, the heart will catalyze the blood of the mimic.
It is also the protection of the ancestors from their offspring, the bloodline defense mechanism, to prevent people from easily identifying the race.
Ivo just wanted to say that having a powerful ancestor was not an ordinary happiness.
"Old man, can you teach me spells?" asked Ivo with his hands crossed.
Cohen glanced up at Ivo, thought for a moment, took out a stone from the spatial ring, and threw it to Ivo, the stone was engraved with a simple pattern, like two entangled snakes, "This is the magic pattern used to assist in meditation when the witchcraft apprentice is getting started, if you can feel the rhythm of the natural elements, it means that you have the talent to become a mage." ”
The level of magic in this world is very high, spatial rings are very common, and Ivo has a spatial ring, which does not arouse Cohen's suspicion.
The first Terran mage in history accepted the dragon teaching with a talent for dragon magic, and gradually figured out the most basic magic theory, so many ancient magic texts were written in dragon language.
Without a guide, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter a meditative state.
The magic pattern is the product of thousands of years of research by wizards, it is the embodiment of the spell model, used to build a magic array, this primary magic pattern can test the talent of the mage, the better the talent, the shorter the time to enter meditation with the assistance of the magic pattern.
Ivo took the stone back to his room, and Demacia was asleep, unable to count on it.
Ivo scratched his chin and meditated, probably meaning divergent thoughts like insomnia.
According to his own understanding, Ivo stared at the magic pattern from early morning to afternoon, rubbing his sour eyes, he didn't feel the rhythm of the elements, but his stomach kept moving.
"Is the old man playing tricks on me?"
......
After lunch, Nafi came to Ivo, "I'm going to Asuka Town to buy some potion materials, let's go with my sister, and by the way, I can take the warrior test." ”
Ivo wondered, "What is the warrior assessment?"
"Each profession has its own guild, and the most authoritative warrior guild is the warrior home, but the five continents are too vast for a single guild to spread over every region, so after obtaining the authorization of the warrior home, you can privately establish a regional warrior guild. Private guilds are mainly for-profit, and will evaluate the fighters, record them, and recommend them to mercenary associations, chambers of commerce, adventure teams, etc., which need to hire people, and earn intermediate fees. ”
"Because of the authorization of the Warrior House, private guilds are qualified to issue Warrior badges. The private guild will attract powerful warriors, draw up contracts, make them exclusive warriors, and make profits for the guild, and private guilds will give their fighters good benefits and bonuses. The warrior badge is a symbol of strength and status, enjoying a higher status and benefits than the commoners, and the kingdom of Nalasis is an example, the warrior with the badge has a higher priority and preferential treatment than the civilians in the purchase of a house, and each country wants to attract talents to live, which is equivalent to immediate combat power in times of crisis...... In short, the warrior badge is a good thing. ”
The corners of Ivo's mouth twitched: "Sounds a bit like a caste system...... Am I in the lowest social status, like a pig or a dog?"
Nafi nodded awkwardly, "It's not that serious...... But it's about the same. ”
"Then what else is there to say?" Ivo instantly fully armed, with the warhammer in his hand, the spear tied to his back, and the dagger hanging from his waist, "Walk up numbly!"
......
Although Asuka Town is not large, it is full of organs, and the streets are full of adventurers with weapons on their backs, and there are many shops on both sides, including weapon shops, armor shops, potion shops, alchemy supply shops, and magic item shops...... There are one or two shops of all kinds.
"There are several adventure forests near the city of Gregor, two ancient ruins infested by the undead, and further afield, the tribe of the Orcs, so there are often large numbers of adventurers gathering in the nearby towns. Nafi dragged Ivo down the street, still wearing a loose black wizard's robe, with a hood on her head, her face unclear, only two spirals of flaxen hair hanging down, and three interconnected rings painted on the wizard's robe, and the adventurers on the road showed respect, fear, and envy.
The black-robed wizard of the third ring is already a strong man in the eyes of ordinary people, and you must know that in the right terrain, the wizard apprentice can also deal with a squad of elite warriors alone.
In front of Nafi, passers-by got out of the way, and even the passing security team didn't dare to look at Nafi, Nafei smiled elegantly: "Ivo, this is one of the benefits of status, let others respect and enjoy better benefits." ”
"I'll take a warrior badge later. Ivo said helplessly: "Don't hold my hand, I'm not a child." ”
Nafei covered her mouth and chuckled: "You're only ten years old, why aren't you a child." ”
Ivo smacked his lips, "I'm powerless now, in a few years, I'll let you know how to write the word man......"
"Down, down!" Nafi said in an angry tone, leaving Ivo behind, she left a mental power mark on Ivo, not worried that he would escape, "I'll go shopping, you can do it yourself." ”
Ivo asked for directions a few times, and came to a large building with a sign hanging in front of the door, "Lasseth Warrior Guild", this is the official Lasseth Warrior Guild's branch in Asuka Town, and the initiator is the Lasseth Palace, which is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise......
Ivo walked in, the hall was vast, with many tables and chairs, much like a tavern, with warriors gathered in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was noisy.
Ivo found the counter, and the staff member looked up at Ivo with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Little friend, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to do the warrior test. ”
The staff's surprised gaze swept over Ivo's weapon for a while, and didn't say much, although Ivo was only ten years old, but after fusing with the Ural White Bear, his figure was equivalent to that of a teenager, but his appearance was too immature, and the staff estimated that Ivo was here to assess the trainee warrior badge, and nodded: "Please fill in the paperwork." ”
Handing over a piece of yellow paper that read "Application for Trainee Warrior Assessment", Ivo pushed it back, "I'm here to test for elite warriors." ”
The staff was surprised again, "Are you sure it's an elite fighter?" little brother, that's very dangerous, don't be reckless." ”
Ivo pointed to his face and said helplessly: "I just look younger, but I am also a warrior and know what strength I have." ”
"Oh, oh, well. ”
The crowd around them followed the sound, their eyes were interested, and they discussed in a low voice, Ivo didn't pay attention, but there were a few words that appeared the most, "Lasses", "Royal", "Academy", "Teacher" or something.
With his papers in hand, Ivo was ushered into an empty room.
There is a groove in the center of the room, and in the groove is embedded an iron golem, which is a battle puppet made by alchemy and goblin mechanical craftsmanship, which has been adjusted to have elite warrior-level abilities and combat experience, and as long as it is defeated, it will pass the test.
Ivo said hesitantly: "It is worthy of a warrior assessment, simple and rude." ”
