434. Potential test

Why are some children able to see the dim magical light, while others can't?

How exactly does magic work in the body? Why is it that on the Galloping Horse Plains, the probability of a child stimulating bloodline exceeds the average of the empire?

Ever since he wandered on the Plains of the Galloping Horse, Rand had been thinking about these questions intermittently, until he reached the advanced level, and the once intermittent speculation finally formed a concept, so he had a potential testing instrument in the territory.

The Potential Meter resembles a light rod, a long glass-like stick less than half a meter long, with a metal grip at the bottom, and the bottom of the grip is the base of the magic crystal, when the demon holder holds and opens the base, the magic power on the magic crystal will be transmitted to the glass through the subject's hands.

Inside the glass, there are 12 white glass balls, each of which has an illumination magic pattern, and if the magic in the pedestal can enter the glass without hindrance, all 12 balls will glow.

According to Rand's conjecture, from the age of 12, twenty percent of children have magic flowing through their bodies, and because of this, these children can see the magic light flowing on the magic pattern even if they do not stimulate their blood.

However, children cannot actively release or even feel the existence of magic power, so they need to use the magic source to test the "magic guide" of the child's body.

So Rand made the current test instrument, after the magic crystal releases the magic power, the magic power is transmitted through the test person's hand and enters the magic circle of the glass rod, the smoother the conduction process, the more white balls will be lit.

According to the tests of all the children in the territory, nearly 20% of children can light up at least one ball, and less than 10% of children can light up more than 6 balls.

At this moment, Xiaohua held the metal base of the tester, took a deep breath, and stared at the 12 white balls in the glass rod, 10 days ago, when she was surveying, she saw 8 of them lit up, belonging to the middle and upper class in the territory.

Among the children, everyone's test results are not a secret, barbarians, half-orcs, kings, iron mines, and original children in the territory, everyone is comparing openly and secretly.

Although no one explicitly said that the more lights on, the easier it is to stimulate the bloodline, but 2 days ago, a child from the royal capital, Wei Lisi, suddenly activated the bloodline, it is said that she has the bloodline of the dragonborn in her body, and the result of the potential test is 11 lights.

In the glass rod in front of him, the white ball began to gradually glow softly, the first, the second, the third, the bottom 5 were quickly lit, but the higher the speed, the slower, when the eighth light, the little flower unconsciously held her breath.

The ninth finally glowed slowly, followed by the tenth white ball further up, and only after the brightness of the lower ball stabilized, there were a few invisible changes.

"10 balls" Daqira looked over, "The 10th must be lit up, but ......"

Before the mage could finish speaking, Uffy behind the desk spoke: "Daqira, leave the testing room when you finish the test, don't interfere with other people's tests here!" ”

"Okay, I'll go, Uffy, you're done with this shift, come and eat with me, I'll have a treat!" Daqira said with a grin, and quickly pulled Xiaohua away.

The testing room, the exchange room, the magic materials and even the library, the alchemy laboratory, and the magic pattern laboratory all need to be managed with the assistance of students, and these assistance jobs also have corresponding points that can be exchanged, and many knight apprentices who have not grabbed the patrol mission will come here to earn points.

Uffy was in the testing room as a tester today, and after a busy afternoon, she naturally would not refuse Dachira's invitation, especially since the other party's points were several times more than herself.

"I remember you've tested it twice, why do you have to come here?" Out of the door of the test room, Xiaohua and Daqira waited for Uffy together, "It's a lot of points for one test!" ”

"It's because you have to test more points once, because if you want to consume magic crystals, you will need 10 gold coins for one magic crystal," Daqila said with a smile, "I'm a junior mage, and I will set the direction of the spell in the future, so I will test it a few more times now, and I will have a reference in the future." ”

The test room not only provides the test of the non-demon, but also the test of the knight's fighting spirit and the test of the direction of the magician's spells, the mage's test tool is more complex, in a cube, from the glass ball at the center point to each side of the upper and lower sides, 4 layers of small balls, respectively, 1, 3, 6, 9 balls.

That is, from the center to the top and bottom 8 sides of a total of 145 balls, each side represents a kind of magic, respectively, water, fire, earth, wind, life, thunder, light, darkness eight kinds, the mage test directly released a simplest illumination, the cube on the side wall of the magic circle will gradually decompose the magic into the center of the ball, and then the balls in all directions will be lit according to the caster's magic characteristics, as long as you observe the proportion of the light you can see the element type of the tester.

"Then you also need 1 point for this test, right?" Xiaohua, as a demonless person, is very cautious about points, and the current points are all exchanged for the monster meat that Neil brought to her.

The female mage shook her head, and said without caring at all: "This is already very cheap, in Wang Du, you need a great mage or above to feel the elemental type of a junior mage according to the magic net, and it is not much more expensive to move it once!" ”

Rand's testing equipment is not cheap, he and the magic elf used various tools in the ruins to work for a few days to make 4 test instruments, but the advantage of this is that once the equipment is completed, the cost of use is greatly reduced, which is much cheaper than hiring an archmage or high-level.

"And in the entire academy, I also have the most points among the beginners." When it comes to points, Daqira is quite proud, although her first few scrolls do have the help of her mother, especially the provision of several bottles of magic ink and blank scrolls, but Daqira's own talent is indeed high, assisting Kaye and Firefly a few times, she can independently draw the sought-after life scroll, and after the success rate reaches more than 5%, she can make a stable profit.

"Don't look at Uffy caught 3 half-orc bandits, and she still works every day, and her points are less than half of mine" The mage wanted to show off again, her friend Uffy was already off work, and he patted her specifically.

"Your points are all because of the rules, every knight student who has captured 3 and a half orcs can't continue to patrol, you have to give it to inexperienced people, otherwise I can catch 3 every day" Uffy grabbed the two girls and walked towards the cafeteria, "Okay, this time Daqi you have a treat, I want to eat something good!" ”

Uffy is not dissatisfied with the arrest rules, and now the knight students basically know that those half-orc thieves are deliberately put in from the king's capital to practice for everyone, 2-3 every night, when they are caught by junior knights, the wind wolf knight or intermediate monster will also be controlled and protected.
