In the next two months, the Northland was completely covered with snow and ice, and it was rare to see a pedestrian in the already sparsely populated wilderness.
Adam’s hunting career also stopped completely half a month ago. Beasts are too rare, and they often only harvest once every few days. This is because of the pervasiveness of spiritual power, and they took out some small creatures from underground caves. The energy provided by the little dots can’t even keep up with the consumption.
Adam became a bully in the canteen of the manor. The daily meals provided by the fat chef and the fat aunt were all occupied by Adam alone. The rest of the servants had to go to other places after several complaints and found no effect. Eat a meal.
Earl Johnson never looked for him once, never even sent a message, as if he had completely forgotten about him. It was the earl’s two sons who had wooed him one after another. The foolish Marshall held the identity of the earl’s first heir and ordered Adam to be loyal to him in a charitable tone, and the price he wanted to pay was only the complete chivalrous breathing technique. The sly Dennis is much smarter than his brother. He not only provides Adam with a complete breathing method, but also promises to provide Adam with all the resources he needs to practice, including a monthly ointment and the position of future knight commander, as well as a low-level knighthood.
Adam rejected them one by one. Adam had no interest in these since he knew the existence of the mage. After two months of continuous and efficient exercise, Adam has become a knight, and the follow-up breathing method has already been deduced. From this, Adam was more certain that the knight was an inferior profession, because in his deduction, the road ahead had been broken.
I don’t know if it was because of the earl’s silence or Ophelia’s backing. Although Adam refused to recruit, he did not encounter any trouble. Although Marshall and Dennis were angry, they did not foolishly attack Adam. This indirect rescue killed both of them.
In the evening of one day, in the snow that never stops in the northern winter, Adam saw Ophelia again. Different from the noble and indifferent before, Ophelia looks very happy today, and even said to Adam in a cheerful tone: “The Master Mage from the Moldo Mage Academy has arrived.”
Adam exhaled heavily, his breath turned and turned the flying snow into a tornado. The scarlet blood fluctuated in a flash. In the cold weather, Adam was only wearing a single shirt, and the temperature seemed to have no effect on him.
Ophelia’s eyes flashed brightly, it’s only been two months, this one-time playmate is already so strong, this talent is really terrifying.
“Pack up your things. Tonight, you will go to Cold Maple City with me. Tomorrow morning, Master Mage will start the qualification test.” Ophelia instructed.
Qualification test? Is the assessment of this profession relying on public examinations?
Feeling Adam’s doubts, Ophelia explained: “It seems that for some reason, the Master Mage, who was scheduled to arrive two months ago, postponed the trip and changed the original plan to a small one. In order to avoid wasting time, you and I will be tested by Master Mage in advance after dinner.” In fact, only Ophelia could be tested in advance, but there is no need to mention this trivial matter.
Adam nodded, then signaled that he had nothing to pack, and Ophelia didn’t bring any entourage. One of the two rode on a horse, and the other ran on the ground and quickly ran towards Hanfeng City.
Hanfeng City did not bring any new senses to Adam. With the low productivity of ordinary people in this world, the cities they built were not as good as the earth.
After arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, Adam was arranged to rest in another place, the free servants prepared dinner for him, and Ophelia went to the main hall to attend the dinner after bathing.
Two hours later, Adam was told to rush to the main hall, and a man of indistinguishable age sat at the top. He was wearing the tight clothes typical of nobles, and he was talking to the earl. Ophelia was nervous. standing below, and after seeing Adam, motioned him to stand beside him.
Adam can feel the strong blood energy fluctuations in Earl Johnson. This is the power that will reach the end of the knight’s career, but he can’t feel any energy fluctuations from the man. This mage looks like an ordinary person. .
“Dear Mage Black, I would like to recommend these two people, my youngest daughter, Ophelia Johnson.”
Mage Black nodded to Earl Johnson, then looked at Adam and Ophelia. He didn’t see any movement, and the powerful and violent mental power filled the entire main hall.
“A huge energy invasion was detected, extremely dangerous, and autonomous defense began.” Adam’s mental power responded instantly and spread on the body surface to deal with the invasion, but Adam’s mental power was only supported for one hundredth of a second before being defeated.
“Defense failed, plan for response… no plan.”
The logical thinking was frantically alerting, but there was nothing he could do about the situation at hand. Fortunately, Mage Black didn’t want to kill the two. His mental power was released as soon as he released it, and he said with a smile: “The spiritual power is excellent.” : “Especially you, it’s hard to imagine that an ordinary person has such a huge spiritual power, which will be of great help to your apprenticeship.”
Seeing Ophelia still showing fear on her face, Mage Black explained: “Don’t be afraid, oh, this is not an ordinary mage qualification test, but I heard the earl say that you have extraordinary talents, So just try it out.”
Ophelia regained her composure and took a few violent breaths. In just a short period of time, her body was drenched with sweat, and her blond hair was wet against her back. She didn’t expect to look ordinary at the dinner party. Blake is so powerful.
Mage Black continued: “Becoming a mage apprentice requires two important conditions. The first is extraordinary spiritual power. You are qualified. The second…” Mage Black stretched out his finger and gently sketched a few points in front of him. Down, a dazzling rune was suspended in the air. “The basis of learning spells is knowledge, and the basis of applying spells is runes. This is the simplest psychic solidification rune. Draw it with your psychic power, and then keep it in your soul.”
The structure of the rune is not complicated, but it is not easy to copy. For Adam, the main difficulty lies in the amount of mental power required to copy it, and for Ophelia, the most difficult thing is how to make it stay in the soul.
Adam stared at the spiral-shaped spiritual power solidification rune in the air. His super memory and computing power made him remember the structure of the rune at a glance. Adam copied all the threads hundreds of times at the same time. The surface of the body spreads and ripples, and the ripples are formed when the amount of mental power that condenses the runes is too large.
Mage Black stared at Adam. Even though he had become a full-fledged mage and almost broke away from common human beings, he still admired Adam’s talent. This situation is obviously the most basic solidified rune and Adam’s spiritual power. It was caused by the mismatch, but he would not kindly give Adam the higher rune, which is very important knowledge for the mage, and knowledge represents value.
“If I had such a talent back then, I would not have wasted eighty years as an apprentice.”
An hour later, Ophelia successfully copied the rune and left it in her soul. At the moment of success, she felt a small piece of spiritual power was vacant, and then new spiritual power was generated to fill the vacancy. , Ophelia showed a dazzling smile, looked up at Mage Black, and said, “Master Mage, I succeeded.”
Mage Black is in a good mood. Every apprentice with outstanding talent will change the embarrassing status quo of the Moldo Mage Academy to a certain extent. He said to Ophelia: “Your talent is very good, if you are smart enough and don’t If you go the wrong way, you will have a high chance of becoming a member of the mage.”
Earl Johnson also breathed a sigh of relief. This is undoubtedly good news. The future Mage Johnson will spread the news.
“Dear Mage Black, then, he…” Earl Johnson wanted better news~IndoMTL.com~ that Adam was not qualified as a mage.
Master Black understood what the count meant, shook his head and said, “He has a better talent, don’t be impatient, he will succeed.”
Adam is indeed about to succeed. Due to the huge mental power, it takes more effort to copy such a simple rune. This is easy to understand, just like you can’t micro-carve with a sledgehammer, so he Need to constantly reduce mental output. Thanks to his powerful computing power, Adam found this value within two hours and successfully copied it in his soul.
Unlike Ophelia, he did not feel an obvious vacancy in spiritual power. The condensation of a low-level rune was only a dispensable improvement for him.
Earl Johnson was slightly disappointed.
Earl Black got up and said, “Congratulations on passing the test. From now on, you have become a mage apprentice. After tomorrow, you can go to the Moldo Mage Academy with me and start learning how to become a mage.”
Mage Black continued: “Your aptitude is excellent, but don’t be obsessed with your aptitude, it is only useful in the apprenticeship stage, to learn knowledge, master knowledge, use knowledge to change the soul, and explore the truth, this is the magic of the mage. The true meaning of the road. Remember that knowledge is the most valuable asset and the most powerful force.”
Adam and Ophelia bowed slightly to him and said, “Yes, my esteemed Master Black Mage.”
Just as Black Mage was about to leave, Adam suddenly asked, “Excuse me, what are the runes?”
Master Black stopped, looked at Adam and said, “Good question, as your guide, I can answer a question for you for free, so is this what you want to ask?”
“Yes, Honored Mage Black.”
