Section 16 Promotion
Bai Fan followed Sherlock to the room where he was going to be initiated. He saw the middle-aged woman again, busy at the desk while Sherlock. He struck up a conversation with the woman.
"This lady, I look at the hall used to test the strength of magicians, it doesn't seem to be of much use. Is it usually like this all the time?" casually said a few words, Bai Fan asked what he cared about.
"Oh, yes. That hall is really not usually used. Every year in February, minors who turn 16 are tested locally in various parts of the Western State. Only those who can pass the test will come to us for the second round of testing. The woman replied.
"It's not like you can become a magician by passing the first exam, in fact, many of them can't pass the second round of the test. After all, there are still a few who are born with strong mental power. Those who pass the second round directly with excellent grades will be sent directly to the magic academy in the imperial capital for further study. And those who are not talented will also stay to receive mental training, and a very small number of people can finally go to the imperial capital to study and become a magician through training. However, only a few hundred people in our Xizhou can go to the imperial capital every year. The middle-aged woman said again. Seeing Sherlock's attention to Bai Fan, she said it carefully.
"Don't talk there, come here, we need to register quickly. Sherlock urged. "Give your name and your age. Since it's inconvenient for you to say the words of your birthplace, just say just one, and I'll write it for you. But the imperial capital will send someone to check, you'd better say a more reliable place. ”
"My name is Bai Fan and I am twenty-three years old. The birthplace is written in Lauder Town, which is on the edge of the West Wilderness Forest. Bai Fan responded.
"Okay, it's all in. Wait a little while and send it to headquarters. Sherlock rubbed several chapters on the sheet, wrote a long paragraph at the end, and stopped his pen to say to Bai Fan. "What did you do in the guild before? You don't look like you know anything, you don't really want to be registered. ”
"Actually, I'm here because I want to help a commoner, and I want to go to the imperial capital to apply for the academy. It takes a sum of money, so come here to sell this. Bai Fan said, taking out the cyan six-ling gem from his pocket. "President Sherlock, show me how much this thing is worth?"
Sherlock's eyes hadn't been taken away since he saw that gem! Otherwise, with his own cultivation as a great magician, as for being assigned to the barren place of Xizhou! Sherlock, who has always been known as a profiteer, couldn't help but be entangled in his heart, seeing that the treasure was in front of him, he really wanted to buy it directly at a low price.
But I thought that this time I returned to Beijing because of this little guy named Bai Fan. And he has a bright future, and it is inevitable that he will surpass himself. Coupled with his love for Bai Fan, it is like facing his own students. Sherlock eventually gave up.
Taking the magic crystal in Bai Fan's hand, Sherlock directly conjured a magnifying glass from his hand. Look closely.
Bai Fan was shocked in his heart, the magnifying glass in Sherlock's hand did appear out of thin air. At this time, his spiritual power was radiating outside, and he knew everything within a dozen meters of his surroundings. Even the few wrinkles on the back of Sherlock's hand can be counted, so it is impossible to be magical. This time it's a magnifying glass, and it wouldn't be good if it was changed into a dagger one day. I'll have to ask later.
After a long while, Sherlock put down the magnifying glass in his hand and introduced it to Bai Fan. "This Wind Elemental Magic Crystal is in excellent condition, not only is it very pure in color, but it is also very neat in shape. Coupled with such a large Liuling, it is a rare boutique. Generally only available at auctions, according to the estimate, at least 500,000 gold coins. ”
Seeing that Bai Fan seemed to be shocked, he thought that this little guy didn't understand anything. So he explained: "This magic crystal is pure cyan, which means that the magic beast itself is a pure wind attribute magic beast. This is not easy to come across. In this world, the vast majority of magical beasts, including magicians, are two-line or three-lineed. It's just that they all focus on one direction. For example, I'm a fan of wind and fire, but I'm just a fan of wind magic. Of course, I can throw a few small fireballs, but it's not pure anymore. ”
"A single-line demonic beast like this will not only be one step faster in cultivation. And it can do things that ordinary Warcraft can't. For example, this gem can not only allow the user to release more powerful magic, but also speed up the cultivation of magicians. Do you think this thing is good?"
Sherlock paused, and then added: "And more importantly, this is a Liuling magic crystal. It means that this Warcraft was a sixth-order Warcraft during its lifetime, and the highest level in the known Warcraft Forest is only the seventh-order. This 500,000 is only the initial estimate. ”
Bai Fan was indeed stunned, to be honest, he was only going to sell this gem for two or three thousand gold coins when he first took out this gem. If he really knew that this thing was so valuable, he really didn't dare to take it out here. Thinking of the old man Sherlock again, except for the heavy hand when he initially suspected that he was a spy. He also took care of himself when he was unconscious, and now he calmly explained to himself the preciousness of this magic crystal. He was very impressed.
In terms of strength, he is no match for Sherlock. In terms of status, Sherlock, as the president of the Linjiang City branch in Xizhou, has completely exploded his own streets. If it was really Sherlock who had cheated himself out of his conscience, Bai Fan would have no way at all for the time being.
Bai Fan got up and said, "Thank you, President Sherlock, for treating me with sincerity, Bai Fan is grateful." It's just that this magic crystal branch can still buy it at a complete price?"
Sherlock waved his hand, "The club has money, but it's not a coffer. On weekdays, the guild's expenses are not large, and at most it is only about 50,000 gold coins. Like this magic crystal, it is indeed incapable of acquiring it. If you really want to sell it, you'll have to wait a little longer, when there will be a big auction in the city. As he spoke, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes, which was honestly not Sherlock's style.
Bai Fan said with a straight expression: "Since there is no way to buy it in the guild. But Bai Fan is in a hurry to use the money now, and it is impossible to have time to wait for the auction. I have a proposal that I would like to ask the President to listen to. ”
"Oh, what do you propose? Sherlock was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Bai Fan's path to becoming a magician needs someone to take care of him to avoid detours. And at this point I do need some money to solve the problem I'm going to face. It's better for Bai Fan to sell this magic crystal to President Sherlock at a low price, and the president only needs to pay me 200,000 gold coins. However, please also ask the president to accept Bai Fan as a disciple, and tell Bai Fan how you made a magnifying glass with your bare hands just now. Bai Fan said respectfully.
Seeing the boiled duck fly back again, Sherlock froze for a moment. "I was sent to Linjiang for the cause of seeking a magic crystal, and then I met Bai Fan for the result. Encountering Bai Fan is the cause, and being able to return to the imperial capital is the result. Being able to return to the imperial capital is the reason, and not deceiving Bai Fan is the result. Don't deceive Bai Fan as the cause, get the magic crystal as the effect! This reincarnation of cause and effect is difficult to explain. ”
I saw that at this time, Sherlock's blue light was surrounding, and a huge force hit and pushed Bai Fan aside. In the midst of the blue light, Sherlock's breath continued to rise. Soon, Bai Fan felt a huge pressure. The well-informed middle-aged woman had already run out and shouted loudly, "The president has been promoted!"
Bai Fan, who was a little confused, was no longer panicked at this time. In any case, it is always a good thing to be promoted, and being able to see a master advance with your own eyes will also help you a lot in the future. Enduring the discomfort, Bai Fan tried to observe.
Suddenly, the pressure around Bai Fan disappeared. And the blue light that surrounded Sherlock was like a spirit, burrowing into his body. Sherlock opened his eyes, "Yes, I'm on the cut!"
As if feeling the change in himself, after a while, Sherlock turned his head to Bai Fan and said, "From today onwards, Bai Fan, you are the only disciple of my Sherlock Magister!"
