Chapter 296: What kind of magic apprentice are you doing?
Compared with the recruitment of recruits in full swing at the main venue, the professional succession plan that has been postponed for more than half a month due to the operation of Drawing Water City on the side is extremely efficient.
Perhaps with the experience of the last time, the mage group optimized the interview process for the second batch of Zeelandia immigrants, but it only suffered those children from Zelandia.
Because their children had all gone through the compulsory education of Zeellandia's school, the questions and standards set by the mage for them were significantly more out-of-the-box...
I heard that there was an unlucky child who was probably under too much psychological pressure due to his parents' high expectations, and he lost a lot of hair while doing the questions.
In the end, it was the mages who were afraid that the young man would become bald or even be an idiot and ruin their mage's reputation, so they ended his test early and gave him an apprenticeship based on his past grades.
God, the mages of Zelandia have also taken great pains to find an inheritor for themselves.
When I was an apprentice before, I didn't think that in the traditional ivory tower style of master-apprentice teaching, mages generally have a set of methods for identifying the talents of mages, and have a long career to choose one or several apprentices to inherit the spells of their own school.
The fact that these people can become mages is equivalent to crossing the threshold that separates ordinary people from professionals, and they are only facing the competition between apprentices.
It wasn't until they themselves selected apprentices that they found out that legal professionals were really not something ordinary people could do.
Although it is not as terrifying as one in a million, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is only one barely suitable among hundreds of them.
Take the last batch of Silver Moon immigrants as an example, including that group of orphans, only two were selected in the end, and one of them was the last batch that had already been determined by the red-robed Fischer inside, so even a demon research boss like Iggy who had no quarrel with the world actually protested.
It would be a waste of talent to claim that a child like Anna Jones, who was born with superior intelligence and was only one step away from being extraordinary, to follow a spell brute like Fischer.
Fei She said confidently: "It's just to learn spells, as long as your intelligence is high enough, learning from anyone is not once and for all, besides! Arcane is not suitable for a little girl like Anna at all, right? Do you expect Anna to live alone in the magic research laboratory like you for the rest of her life?"
Not to mention, Fisher's obviously brainless rhetoric, for a magic researcher like Igg, who has been an introvert and has devoted his life to exploring the origin of arcane, directly produced a critical damage no less than that of a Mithic nuclear explosion, and without saying a word, he closed himself on the spot.
It's just that he left to look at Fischer's 'resentful' eyes, but it made the bald head in the red robe shiver, and he always felt that this big guy would wear small shoes for himself in the future.
However, to the relief of the mages, it turned out that the Zeelandia Mining School, which was built in accordance with the will of the boss, had made great strides in the children's knowledge and even intellectual growth.
Of the fewer than 1,000 children, more than 20 have the intelligence to meet the needs of the clergy.
One of them, named Anthony, also made Fischer seem to have found a savior to make up for his relationship with Big Iggy.
No, after Fischer discovered this 'talent', he quickly sent it to the big guy.
So much so that before he had time to be happy after the interview was successful, Anthony, who was directly packed and sent underground, looked at the Sen Ran Magic Research Institute in front of him, looking confused.
Soon, he met his future mentor, Iggy.
Eagle first glanced at the data on the paper:
Name: Anthony
Race: Human
Strength: 10Agility: 8Constitution: 9Intelligence: 17Perception: 13Charisma: 10
'Moderate intelligence, low perception, but it also makes do. β
Ig commented in his heart, then raised his head and glanced at this little guy with a stocky figure and obviously from a peasant family, and barely squeezed out a smile that was not very natural:
"Anthony?"
"Yes... Mr. Mage. β
Anthony was a little nervous, although he had imagined whether he would be able to become a mage one day on the ship when he came with his parents, and he was hit by them, but he didn't expect that when he relied on instinct and logic to do those never-before-seen topics, he was really taken by the mage, and I don't know if Daddy Herbert will feel a pain in his face when he learns the news when he comes home today.
"Anthony, I ask you, do you have the consciousness to dedicate your life to knowledge?" asked Iger.
"I... I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Mage. Anthony touched the back of his head.
Ig thought about it, he seemed to be a little frightened of the child, his face was rare and gentle, he touched Anthony's head, and said while leading him to the depths of the laboratory:
"It's okay, I just want to tell you that to become a lawyer, especially a great lawyer, is destined to... There are many things that may be sacrificed, such as glory, marriage, life...
"Of course, it's too early for you, and you still have plenty of time to reflect on these issues, and if you don't think it's right for you, let me know in the future.
"Now, let's practice first. β
Iggy led the ignorant Anthony to a laboratory table and continued:
"To become an Arcanist is to seek ways to explore the nature of all things in the world, and the tools and derivatives of exploration that are sought and created along this path are collectively known as Arcane.
"I don't think there is a quicker and deeper way to get to know a lawyer himself.
"Come, cut him down, and let me tell you how the tissues of the body, especially the structure of the brain tissue, will be alienated when you become a lawyer, and this is the beginning of the transcendence of living beings.
"It's the first lesson I taught you. β
Anthony, who was suddenly stuffed with a scalpel in his hand, looked at the corpse on the battery, especially after learning that the other party was still a priest in front of him, his little face turned green in an instant...
"Gross..."
'Daddy Herbert!I suddenly regret it!I don't want to be a mage.....
'Mages are terrible!!
......
Just when Anthony was scared and vomited on the first day he came into contact with the group of extraordinary creatures of mages, the friends who established the 'Genting Descendants' in the 'Mordoncan Mansion' finally had their own destinations.
However, most of them invariably put forward a request to the adoptive family to get together with their friends, and naturally no one would embarrass them because of such a reasonable request.
This also reassured the group of orphans.
As Kevin Jones had suggested, they are likely to be adopted by different families, but how to ensure that they are not abused and illegally used after adoption is an extremely urgent issue.
Because of similar problems, Kevin had seen a lot in Silvermoon City, such as his and Anna's father, who was a grain merchant, who adopted many orphans in this way.
With a little training, they can serve as cheap laborers in their own food rows.
However, the longer they stayed in this particular camp, the more this concern faded, and the more they proved that their desperate choice was not wrong.
Like Levi's, the elven merchant with a strange idea, the territory treats them relatively gently and specially.
Although the territory also requires the children to work together, most of them are errands that they can do, such as using tools to make wooden wedges and collecting forage for creatures called Lothmon.
It's just that after the first day of their arrival and the mage's interview, there was a joke.
That is, after Anna passed the assessment of Fischer and became his mage apprentice, the former red-robed mage, Xu felt that his miserable and deceitful apprenticeship career must not be repeated in his apprentice.
In addition, in addition to Anna's commendable intelligence, the three major items of strength, agility, and physique are simply full of five scum.
Fei She was really worried that he, a weak apprentice, might die at any time due to accidents such as the explosion of the experimental table, the backlash of spells, and the fact that he was eaten by the Warcraft as a meal when he was fed to the Warcraft.
For this purpose, Anna developed a tailor-made 'physical training plan'.
The first is a five-day-a-day nutritious meal with strange ingredients, and Anna's little face turned white on the spot after eating half of the larvae from Joseph's Garden.
But when the bald mage stared at her with a 'courteous' expression, the poor little female apprentice could only swallow the mess of ingredients that were said to grow strength.
After a hearty meal, in the morning she carried the mine hoe that was longer than her to dig the stone in front of the griffon's cliff...
In the afternoon, Fischer actually summoned a Cerberus out in front of Anna, and used a spell to bind its mouth and claws, so that the whole stupid Anna straddled the neck of the Cerberus for riding training...
That night, Anna, who had been tossed to the point that her hands were full of blisters, reappeared in front of her friends, and this group of 'Genting Descendants' almost escaped overnight because they had entered the den of thieves.
In the end, it was only after Kevin's analysis that calmed down this group of orphans, and they persevered until now, half a month later...
It's just that... When he looked at his sister, who was already half a head taller than him and was developing more and more towards a mountain female warrior after less than three weeks, Kevin's eyes twitched and asked:
"Anna, what kind of lessons did your tutor arrange for you during this time... Why did you suddenly grow so tall..."
Anna pouted instinctively at first, and a full of grievances came to her heart, but after seeing the envious eyes of her friends, she suddenly changed her original idea of complaining.
A calm appearance that has crossed the mountains, rivers and seas and also passed through the sea of people waved his hand:
"It's nothing, it's just that Tutor Fischer said that he just suffered a loss of vision back then, so before learning magic, in addition to exercising a good body, another important thing is to increase his knowledge and know where his interests and talents are, so as to plan a lifelong career path in advance.
"So since he returned to the camp yesterday, he has started to take me door to door to visit the mages' houses, and let the mages demonstrate the magic of the eight schools of magic, and ask me what faction of magic I am interested in.
"But in order not to disappoint my mentor, I decided to major in his Plastic Fire Spell, Spell Calling Otherworldly Creature and Protection Spell.
"However, it is said that calling a companion of otherworldly creatures is a little different from summoning, and it seems that you still need to learn a spell called [Otherworldly Oath].
"In addition, the creatures of different outer planes are also very different, and the mentor asked me to wait for a while, saying that when I have free time in the future, he will try to take me to explore a few more outer interfaces for selection.
"As for my height, yes, Brother Kevin, how did you get shorter!?".
Kevin: "......"
And the friends have long been stunned by Anna's few words of description of a completely different world that belongs exclusively to the clergy.
It turns out that the apprenticeship of the mage can be so cool?
However, they were invisibly led astray by Anna.
However, if Anna's apprenticeship was known to the other mages, especially Fischer's peers in Torre, she would definitely leave tears of envy and hatred, and said that the apprentice of the mage was a good fart!
Many of them were sold to their mentors as magic test materials, and they not only had to pray with trepidation every day that they would not become the next test subjects of their mentors, whether it was dispensing potions, feeding large magical beasts, or going out to perform the guild's hard tasks, which one was not walking on the tightrope of life and death.
The vast majority of red-robed mages who will successfully emerge from the red-robed mages will inherit this sick apprenticeship inheritance method in that deformed and cruel environment.
But Fischer is a strange case.
Since childhood, he has despised and hated the cruel system of the Red Robe, and is determined to change its rules.
It's just that most of the guys who have such unrealistic ideas under this system end up relatively bleak.
So this bald head was taken to the dark region on the other side of the continent to make human flesh utensils for the Drows...
Xu is the first half of his life was too bleak, this red-robed mage swore not to follow the old path of those red robes, and treated his new apprentice Anna, who had finally succeeded, that was really his own and was about to be doted on as his own baby daughter...
As for this 'daughter' treatment, if it weren't for Fei She's limited ability, she would be close to catching up with the two brothers and sisters Karthas and Levi, who were taught by the original goddess of magic.
Kevin was probably afraid that this group of friends would crack with envy, so after talking to Anna for a few words, he quickly hinted to his sister that she should hold back and change the subject.
As a result, this good sister directly threw the problem on her brother:
"What about you, brother, who have you adopted?"
Kevin pursed his lips and said with some doubts: "I just received a notice, and the admissions office of Zelandia said that considering my relatively high charm value and half of the moon elf bloodline, he recommended me to a mage named Lucifer to interview for the second round, but he was on duty in Jishui City, and the admissions office asked me to wait a little longer, and when there was a caravan to Jishui City in the spring, they would bring me with me." Don't talk about me, what about you, Ralph?"
The boy named Ralph scratched his head and said, "My mentor's name is Senarian, and he is a druid. In fact, according to my evaluation recommendation, I was recommended to become a pastor. β
"Cenarian, I've heard of him, he can turn into a giant bear, will you become a bear in the future?" Anna's eyes suddenly met.
"I guess," Ralph said.
Anna was eager to try: "Then it's better to go back and just be my first call animal companion Ralph! Even the [Otherworldly Oath] is saved! Just shout yes ~ Ralph, you will be a giant bear and flatten the enemy with a 'Duang' sound." β
"......" Ralph.
"......" Kevin.
"......" a group of 'Genting Descendants' confused friends.
The heart said that this is worthy of being a seedling of learning spells, and this brain circuit is different from us ordinary people...
......
At the same time, Cecilia was also confused.
This little girl, who was born in Orion and has a quarter of the blood of the Alpine Barbarians, was also going to be invited to the 'Descendants of Genting' for a small gathering.
However, the orc father who adopted him was so enthusiastic that he insisted on taking her to meet his new family first...
An orc dad named Droru, a drow mom named Grena...
When DeLorou introduced Cecilia to her new 136th brother with Cecilia in a trance, the little girl, who had been autistic since the loss of her parents, was completely confused.
Especially when a centaur brother patted her on the shoulder and said:
"Sister Cecilia, don't be afraid, from now on, we will be a family, if someone dares to bully you in the Hogg Mining School in the future, you just shout for help, I promise to take two classes of brothers to help you town!
There was a loud bang.
The outrageous centaur brother was smashed into the pit by the orc father's sword, "Gnate! How many times have I told you not to bully people at school, and how many times do you want me to be invited by the Academic Affairs Office?"
"I... I know it's wrong, Daddy Drorousβ" the centaur groaned as he twitched and clutched his bleeding head.
After teaching the centaur son a lesson, DeRoru looked at Cecilia with a bright smile on his face and said:
"Cecilia, don't learn from these bad brothers! they are crooked, what is the difficulty, find the parents, I will let him know, what is called, cruel!"
"......" the bewildered Cecilia.
