Chapter 15: The Test of Magical Talent
A military alliance that came out of the cage quickly under Hudson's needle lead. The wine and meat friends around him suddenly became "their own people", and the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax again.
Watching everyone celebrate wildly, Hudson, who was smiling, shook his head secretly.
It is estimated that this is the most hasty military alliance in the world, and the rights and obligations of each party have not been agreed, and the alliance has been directly announced.
How much role can be played depends on everyone's discipline. When it comes to the battlefield, whether it can be relied on or not, Hudson has no bottom at all.
Perhaps in the case of the same interests, it can be barely regarded as an alliance. If there is a conflict of interest, it is a matter of moment.
Even so, Hudson still finds the league valuable. Not to mention anything else, the problem of passive sabotage and indiscriminate filling of the number has been solved.
As long as Earl Pierce is not stupid, he will not delve into it. After all, rules always bind the weak.
More than 30 knights + thousands of soldiers, looking at the entire southeastern province, it is not a small force. If you continue to carry forward the tradition of the nobles uniting together, you can continue to attract people to join on the way.
Although this loose alliance does not have much combat power, it can be scary! Especially for the upper rulers, it is necessary to consider not only the power of the alliance on paper, but also the influence of the families of the nobles.
Just as Hudson was pondering his next move, the Chels Knight suddenly walked over.
"Little Hudson, you seem to have something on your mind?"
It can be seen that he seems to be in a good mood now. I have the leisure to care about these little details.
"Uncle Chels, I also like magic research, but I don't have the materials, so I want to exchange some magic cores or magic crystals with you."
Hudson said.
In the continent of Aslant, the Demon Core and the Magic Crystal are both hard currencies, which are more useful than any gold or silver coin.
After all, gold and silver coins are issued by different countries, and some powerful nobles also mint their own coins, and the value of the coins is often affected by the conscience of the minter.
In the settlement of international trade, it is very difficult to convert the currency value, and many large currency settlements, everyone likes to use magic crystals or magic cores with more stable value.
Coupled with the role of magic crystals and magic cores in war, as well as the special role of magicians, alchemists and other industries, it directly leads to the fact that the two rarely circulate in the market.
At first, Hudson thought that he could buy it with money, but after learning the real situation, he decisively chose to give up.
Affected by a variety of factors, even if there is an occasional outflow, it will often be sold at a sky-high price, and the cost performance is pitifully low. If you want to get it on a large scale, you can only rely on relationships to trade secretly.
As far as Hudson knew, the price for the Mages Guild to obtain these two strategic resources from the Kingdom was only one-third of the retail price available in the market.
Although the nobles also have quotas that can be exchanged, the prerequisite is to become a mage first. In this context, even if ordinary small nobles have collections, the number will definitely not be large, and they will not be traded unless necessary.
The knight of Chels in front of him is engaged in magic research every day, and has developed so many chicken rib magic technology, these two things must be missing in his hands.
The most important thing is that the knights of Chels are now short of money, and the magic technology has been taken out and sold, and the magic cores and spars driven by them can naturally be traded.
"Hudson, you're young. Listen to my uncle's advice, don't learn from me to make such a mess.
Magical research is a bottomless pit, and there is not enough money to fill in it. Unless you have a great talent for magic, don't waste time and money on it. ”
Chels said earnestly.
I can tell that these words are sincere. Having stepped on the sinkhole of magical research himself, Chels really didn't want to see Hudson follow in his footsteps.
Hearing about "magical talent", Hudson had an idea and secretly thought to himself: maybe he should work hard to become a magician.
It's also burning money, and knights are engaged in magic research, which is not a proper business. But it makes sense for a magician to do this research.
It's a shame that Hudson had never been exposed to magic, let alone used it. Glancing at Chels, Hudson had an instant idea.
If you don't have a magician's cultivation method, it doesn't mean that you don't have the one in front of you. Just by looking at the pile of magical items in the main hall, you can see that the knights of Chelse definitely do not lack theoretical knowledge in this area.
"Uncle Chels, you should know how to test your magical talents, how about you test it for me?"
Hudson said tentatively.
In order to figure out the use of the gold finger, he also spelled it. He had just sold the Knights of Chels a big favor, and now was his best chance to speak.
Perhaps seeing Hudson's determination, or perhaps just testing his talent and not spending much effort, the knight nodded.
"The magic talent test is very simple, you only need to put a magic crystal with no obvious attributes into your hand, and then mobilize your mental power to absorb the magic power in it.
As long as you have a magical talent, the magic in the hedron will slowly flow into your body, and the speed of the inflow determines the quality of your talent.
Of course, this testing method is not completely accurate, there may be some errors, and it is not possible to detect specific talent attributes.
If you want to accurately test one's magical talents, you still have to go to the Mage Guild. The procedure is also very simple, as long as you pay a hundred gold coins for the test.
If the talent is acceptable and is admitted to the Mage Association, the test fee can also be waived. Of course, that's only for children.
The training of magicians should start from a young age, and once they are over fifteen years old, the mage association will not accept them. Unless you can teach yourself to become a magician, you can't get a certification. ”
After speaking, seeing that Hudson was still unmoved, Chels sighed deeply. From Hudson, he saw the shadow of his youth, the same persistence and self-confidence.
It's just that magic cultivation depends on talent after all, and ninety-five percent of them don't have magic cultivation talent.
In the entire Alpha Kingdom, there are less than five hundred registered magicians, including half of the magic apprentices.
Of course, this also has something to do with the talent selection model. The high cost of testing directly blocks the large number of poor people.
If the national talent test is conducted, it is estimated that within ten years, the number of mages owned by the kingdom can be added to the end by a zero.
Of course, this is impossible. Neither the king nor the aristocratic group could allow supernatural power to spread to the lower echelons.
What's more, with the number of magicians in the kingdom, even if they want to conduct a national talent test, they can't keep it busy.
