Chapter 192: Magic Test
After talking about the hierarchy of magic, Alvin asked another question that had been bothering him.
"Ma'am, why do you say that the rank of a magician is not the same thing as the strength of a magician?"
Lady Shipton smiled and said, "That's the case, let me make an analogy, if a magician is born with more magic than ordinary people, and it grows very fast, but he is a fool, he can only use elementary magic, and the speed of magic casting is also extremely slow, then, you say that even if such a magician has reached the tenth order, can you say that he has the ability to create things?" ”
Alvin thought for a moment and said secretly: "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have much magic power on my body, I would have thought you were scolding me!" ”
"Can't!" Alvin gave his own answer.
Ms. Shipton nodded: "So, the discipline of magic is subdivided into many categories internally. There are magicians who are biased towards combat, magicians who are biased towards theoretical research, magicians who like to conduct experiments and inventions to study magic props, and magicians who like to study potions, and these magicians of different specialties only have a place in their own fields, and those who can make achievements in multiple fields are rare, and there are very few. ”
Alvin pondered: "In that case, in fact, there is no way for everyone to evaluate their own level under a unified standard. ”
Ms. Shipton clenched her fist with one hand and smashed it on the other: "That's right! Therefore, our rank evaluation is actually valid only when it is obtained in our own professional field, and the evaluation of personal rank according to the unified standards of the magic world is a live hooligan! Do we need the research type mage and the combat type mage to determine the rank? It's not fair at all! You know how much difference our benefits will be if you are one level behind! ”
Ms. Shipton, contrary to her usual mildness, looked angry and filled with righteous indignation.
Frightened, Alvin shouted: "Calm down, calm down, ma'am!" ”
Ms. Shipton realized her gaffe, touched her chest with her hand, calmed down her mood, and then said in a harmonious voice: "Therefore, although it is not objective to use the rank of magic to evaluate the ability level of a magician, nor can it fully express the personal strength of a magician, this is the only method that is now more recognized by the industry. ”
Alvin nodded, and once again raised his doubts: "Ma'am, does this magic guild still give you benefits?" ”
Ms. Shipton nodded: "The Magic Guild is an unofficial organization, but the so-called unofficial actually means that it does not represent the power of any kingdom, but in fact, it is a pet organization that spans the entire continent and has branches overseas, and all magicians naturally belong to this organization, except for those who have done things that have caused public anger, caused anger and resentment, and have been expelled from the Magicians Guild, no matter what kind of identity the magician has in the world, he is a member of the guild." Correspondingly, the guild will provide services according to the strength of the magician, including ranking, welfare distribution, assignments, and regular academic seminars. ”
Alvin was dumbfounded.
"So, isn't this Mage's Guild a super big organization? Wouldn't that be a state? ”
Lady Shipton looked at Alvin with pity, "Silly boy, magician, if you are ambitious, sometimes it is a good thing. Poor, the vast majority of magicians see themselves as half-gods, or people who are going farther and farther on the road to becoming gods, so worldly things can no longer attract them, so magicians are monsters who destroy human nature, and they have no interest in ruling the world! Moreover, the appearance of a magician requires too much luck, it is rare for a magician to appear in a hundred ordinary people, the scarcity of the number makes magicians think too highly of themselves, it is difficult to deal with people, such people, even if there is a group, they cannot form a country. More importantly, don't you know that there is also a religious organization in the world called the Cult of the Holy Spirit? ”
Speaking of this, Alvin blushed slightly: "Speaking of which, I'm now swaggering and deceiving under their banners!" ”
Lady Shipton smiled, "So, the Wizards' Guild has always maintained their transcendent status, and it is also inextricably linked to the Holy Spirit Cult, because magicians can also have faith!" ”
Alvin generally understood: "This system is so complicated! ”
Ms. Shipton spread her hands: "There is no way, a thing has appeared in the world for thousands of years, and time has made it more and more complicated, but it is also developing in a better and better direction. ”
Alvin asked, "Then can you help me rate my magic level?" ”
Ms. Shipton scratched her head, "That's why I was just going to ask you, I can get a general idea of your strength through a simple test, but the results are not precise. But you just want to learn a few auxiliary magics, and I think that's pretty much enough for me. ”
Actually, Ms. Shipton is also a little humble here, after all, she was once unanimously considered by the Wizards' Guild to be a player who can become a magic seed.
Isn't it a piece of cake to help Alvin do a simple identification?
However, people must be humble, not only to progress, but also to gain the respect of others, and arrogant people, on the contrary.
Alvin excitedly said, "Then let's start quickly!" I can't wait. ”
Miss Shipton smiled, thinking as she walked, "It's been too long, I've figured out where those rudimentary magic items were." ”
When Alvin heard this, his heart was half cold.
I don't even know where to put the props, but when will I be able to measure it.
However, the fantasy novels that Alvin has read, especially about Western magic, some of them know that magic is measured with a kind of magic props, usually stones, and then hold it with his hand to deliver magic power inside, and generally the protagonist will light up these props, or make them explode, no way, the protagonist, allow a little cow, or who will read this novel? Isn't it enough to read an autobiography?
Ms. Shipton's eyes lit up and she said, "I'm sorry, I just remembered." ”
Then, she reached out and dug it in the air, and her slender fingers were like sharp daggers, unexpectedly cutting a fluctuating gap in the air in front of her fingertips.
Alvin was stunned,! This is space magic, is it so calm when you apply it?
Lady Shipton pointed forward, and the spatial rift spread out like a veil, revealing a black hole the size of a fist.
Ms. Shipton reached in and quickly pulled out a ball.
Alvin thought to himself, sure enough!
However, this ball is not of stone, but of metal, it looks like brass, with a soft surface gloss, and it looks like it has been used for a long time, and it has a thick pulp, of course, this does not mean that it is black. It is engraved with mysterious magic runes, and it looks quite tall at first glance.
With a flick of Ms. Shipton's hand, the spatial rift quickly closed, and the original space rippled before returning to its original state.
Miss Shipton tossed the fist-sized orb to Alvin.
Alvin was startled and hurriedly caught it with both hands.
This was the first time he had seen the legendary identification item!
I can't help but feel a little excited.
Alvin excitedly said, "Ma'am, what do I need to do, is it to inject magic into this sphere?" ”
Miss Shipton smiled, "You think too much, you just hold it, and you're good to go." If it were someone else, of course, you would have to mobilize your magic, but where would you be an ordinary person? I've seen you perform miracles, and I'm sure you'll give me a chance to shine. ”
If it were an ordinary person, Ms. Shipton would really have some worries, but, Alvin? Non-existent!
The Shipton woman is also looking forward to seeing how this idiot, who was once the laughing stock of the wizarding world, will behave today.
Alvin stopped his progress and held his breath.
At this moment, heaven and earth were silent.
Come on, all the creatures in this universe, and see how Young Master Ben behaves!
Alvin roared in his heart!
