Chapter 18 Borrowing money to develop
"Did he offend someone?" Saul asked.
"I heard that I brought a copy of Advanced Elvish with me, thinking that I could study it as an apprentice, but I was found in the flower bed this morning." Keli approached Thor and deliberately used a low and hoarse voice to scare him, "Listen He said that he cut his legs into several pieces and buried them in the soil as plant roots. When he was discovered, he almost bled to death." "Can he still be saved?" "Who knows, anyway
,
I It had already been shipped away when we rushed over." Keli felt a little regretful.
"Aren't you afraid?" Sol looked at Keli, a teenage girl, with some surprise.
Keli held her chin and murmured: "I knew the general appearance of the wizarding world before I came here. It's similar to my family. People always die inexplicably."
The crazy new apprentice was just a small episode, Keli The topic quickly shifted to her experience of carrying a bucket to meet with Gudo's mentor yesterday.
"...I feel that Instructor Gu Duo is quite willing to teach me, but he just can't control his vomiting. The big bucket I prepared for him can be as high as half a person, but it was still full of vomiting in less than an hour. I really can't understand him. How can it be so edible!"
"Ha..." Sol was disgusted and funny at the same time.
Keli suddenly turned her head and looked at Sol, "You finally smiled. When you first came in, you were like a walking corpse."
Sol's smile faded and he rubbed his face with his hands.
Does he look so haggard?
Only the straightforward Keli would say this.
The person responsible for teaching the basic knowledge of all things is a second-level apprentice.
He was skinny and hollow-cheeked, more corpse-like than Thor.
He didn't pay attention to interaction during class. He just read the contents of the book monotonously in a calm tone, which made Sol feel sleepy.
Sol simply opened the book and read it himself.
Because of yesterday's colorful experiences, he didn't have time to preview today's content.
Basic cognition of all things is like a hodgepodge of biochemistry, history and geography.
Things that can be recorded in wizard apprentice textbooks have some witchcraft characteristics.
For example, Thor saw a kind of grass in the plant chapter that can increase people's magic power.
But the price is that the person who takes him becomes a mindless puppet. Rather than helping people increase their magic power, it is better to sacrifice themselves to refine magic crystals for others.
There are ten books in total on Basic Cognition of All Things, each of which is ten centimeters thick. It is impossible to read them quickly.
Sol looked at it with interest, occasionally raising his head to stretch his muscles.
At this time, he saw Keli's two former followers, Doze and Locke, sitting next to Duke, muttering not knowing what they were talking about.
Keli on the side said nothing about this.
"What are you looking at?" Keli noticed Sol's gaze, followed it, and also noticed the small movements of Doze and the others.
She curled her lips and said, "They want to isolate you. They are so childish and like children."
This class turned into a self-study class, and later some people even started to learn knowledge from other classes.
The second-level apprentice on the podium just read the first section of the book once, and after reading it, he went back to reading other books, completely ignoring the people below.
"No wonder I didn't see a few old apprentices in this class. Even thinking about it, I know it's useless." Keli muttered, regretting that she didn't bring other books.
"Keli, can you lend me some magic crystal?" Sol, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally plucked up the courage to say to Keli.
"What do you want the magic crystal for?" Keli looked over warily, "I won't do a deal with no return!" "I want
to borrow two books from the library."
"Someone just went crazy reading a book, so why don't you do it? Aren't you afraid?"
Saul said sincerely: "I won't read randomly, but I really need some special books now."
Keli didn't specifically ask Sol what book he wanted to read. After hesitating for a while, he poured out five black translucent diamond-shaped tablets from his wallet.
"I can only lend you five. You have to pay me back in three months... pay me back..."
"Ten."
"Deal!"
"Do I need to write an IOU?"
"Of course!"
Sol said from the blank book. After tearing off a page, the two made their first money transaction.
The first class has passed, and the second class is the rune structure that everyone is looking forward to.
Rune structure is the basis for performing witchcraft.
However, to everyone's disappointment, the instructor of this class was still only a second-level apprentice.
This guy went even further. He only taught the most basic rune drawing once and let everyone practice on their own.
Many newcomers heard it half-understood and wanted him to explain it again, but the other party actually asked for money to explain it again!
When Saul heard that he was asking for money, he simply gave up.
He recalled the knowledge points he had just talked about and felt that he still heard them clearly, so he began to describe the first basic rune in his mind.
With his eyes closed, the first basic rune was clearly printed in Thor's mind.
He opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment, in disbelief.
"I seem to have...remembered it?"
In order to prevent his eyes from remembering but his hands from not remembering, Solti wrote on the blank paper with a pen.
He opened the book and compared the runes he had written with those on the book.
Exactly the same!
Even the curvature of each line is the same!
Thor closed the book and tried again. This time he changed to a special pen and ink. According to the lecturer on the stage, he began to pour the magic power in his body into the pen tip.
It was a bit difficult to write this time.
The magic power must be output evenly and combined with the operation of mental power to construct a basic rune.
Failure to do any of these steps will cause the runes to disintegrate and the mana to directly become ineffective and turn into an ordinary pattern on a white paper.
Thor was focused.
Then,
it worked!
Although it is only drawn on ordinary white paper, the surface of the runes is full of color, and the fluctuations of magic power are clearly palpable.
"You, you succeeded?" Keli's eyes widened and she murmured.
She originally wanted to spend some money to listen to the explanation again, but now seeing Sol successfully succeeding in the first attempt, she suddenly felt that she should be able to study further.
Thor didn't notice Keli's voice, and his eyes had already turned to the next basic rune.
the second.
success!
Big success!
The third.
success!
the fourth.
……fail.
Thor frowned.
This failure was not because the runes he memorized were wrong, but because his magic power was not enough.
Can my own magic power only last three runes?
Or is there something wrong with the way he outputs his magic power?
Thor finally deeply sensed the dangers of insufficient magic power.
No wonder Kong Sha felt that she was sure of him, and no wonder Teacher Kaz didn’t even want to take a second look at him.
Sol's chest rose and fell violently several times, and finally calmed down.
"Why panic?" He said to himself in his mind, "Have you not made up your mind yet?"
Thor took out the crystal ball and the walking chart of humans and monsters, and began to meditate to restore his magic power.
The advantage of having less magic power is that it recovers quickly.
We must learn to look at things dialectically.
Thor successfully drew three runes in a row, which attracted the attention of the whole class.
Not only the new apprentices, but also the old apprentices and even the second-level apprentices on the podium were shocked by the series of magic fluctuations from Sol.
There were even a few newcomers who were planning to hire a second-level apprentice for guidance, but they turned around and prepared to ask Thor for advice.
But after these people saw that Thor only drew three runes and began to meditate, they began to hesitate again.
Could it be that there are some problems with the newcomer's rune construction? Besides, you can’t just go over and interrupt people’s meditation, right?
Duke in front rolled his eyes, turned around and said something to his two companions, picked up his runes and rushed to the podium - every apprentice who came from outside had some magic crystals on him.
The second-level apprentice on the podium seemed very satisfied that Duke went to him first, and told him a lot in a low voice, which made all the newcomers in the audience envious.
And Duke always cooperated with his expression, showing that he suddenly realized that this was the case.
Angela, who was sitting on the edge of the classroom, slowly slid her cute big eyes from the podium to the back of the classroom, and finally landed on Saul, showing an interested expression.
