Chapter 6 Simple Test (Available for Investment)
After the gray-robed old man Stefano finished speaking, Richard immediately couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked: "Dear Sir Stefano, you just mentioned the wizard's apprentice. And the witcher? Can you tell me briefly?"
"Haha, of course. In fact, I am a second-level wizard apprentice. You see, the light spell." I saw
Stefano snap his fingers, and in an instant, a ball A soft white light appeared on the tip of his index finger, which made Richard stunned.
"It turns out that there really is witchcraft in this world!" Richard lost his mind for a while and muttered to himself. "Haha, this is not considered witchcraft. Light magic is just a low-level magic trick. Some children are born with super mental power. Many five or six-year-old children
can use this trick without learning meditation.
, because they were afraid of the dark, they accidentally cast the light spell. But some children were afraid of the dark, so they cast the ignition spell and set the house on fire. This is because everyone has different aptitudes and elemental affinities
. It’s caused by different preferences,” Stefano said with a smile.
"As for demon hunters, they were actually called Dharma Seal Swordsmen in ancient times. Wizards used a special ritual to transform ordinary people into warriors who could use Dharma Seals to fight against various monsters that emerged in an endless stream in ancient times. This kind
of The ritual gave them a lifespan beyond ordinary people, the special ability to use magic seals, and strong resistance to various types of witchcraft, but it also caused them to lose their fertility and the possibility of further using witchcraft!" Originally, I was still interested in hunting
. Richard, who was very interested in the demon, couldn't help but feel speechless when he heard the words "lost fertility"!
From this point of view, if he wanted to obtain the energy points needed to trigger inspiration by killing monsters, becoming a wizard apprentice was his only option at the moment.
"Dear Sir Stefano, how can I become a wizard apprentice?" Richard continued to ask.
"Haha, in this case, it depends on your talent and opportunities. After all, most ordinary people do not have wizard qualifications. Otherwise, wizards in ancient times would not have invented a ritual with a high mortality rate such as the Grass Trial. Come and transform ordinary people into witchers."
"Kid, if you really want to become a wizard apprentice, I can simply test your qualifications now." Stefano said, taking the He took out a fist-sized crystal ball.
"Of course I want to! Please help me test it, Mr. Stefano." Hearing that Stefano could actually test his qualifications now, Richard was of course very happy but at the same time a little nervous.
"Come, hold the crystal ball, close your eyes, and concentrate as much as possible to feel the active particles in the air." Stefano's deep voice came to Richard's ears.
With a nervous mood, Richard held the crystal ball in his right hand. At the same time, he closed his eyes and concentrated on absorbing external elements through the crystal ball.
After a while, three colors began to gather in the originally colorless crystal ball, and gradually stabilized. Most of them were ink-like black, and a small part was jumping red. At the same time, there was a touch of green surrounding it. .
"Okay!"
Hearing Stefano's words, Richard relaxed and opened his eyes.
"What a pity, kid. The good news is that judging from the simple talent test we just took, you have about a third-level wizard qualification. The bad
news is that your elemental affinity is mainly towards the dark element, followed by the fire element, and finally the Not being natural and friendly at all is suitable for my school of thought, so I can’t give you any guidance.” Stefano shook his head with regret.
Richard, who couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, could only say thank you helplessly and took a step back.
After all, he has taken up a lot of Mr. Stefano's time. Stefano was invited by the Count this time to investigate the problem of monsters in Silverpine Town. It was considered a business matter, but helping him test his talent was a private matter.
Seeing Richard's disappointed expression, the baron's father's eyes flashed with light.
"Child, in fact, the schools of wizards that major in dark elements are basically black wizard schools. The teaching methods are quite extreme. The mortality rate during the wizard apprenticeship is very high. I personally do not recommend that you go, but if you go with the fire element As the main school, with your affinity to the fire element, I'm afraid..." Stefano obviously saw Richard's disappointed look, paused, and added.
Stefano's hesitant attitude immediately hit Richard hard.
Richard understood what Stefano meant. If he wanted to follow the path of a wizard and achieve something, he must choose to major in the dark element school, but the mortality rate would be high. But if he chooses another school of thought, he will most likely waste his time and not go very far on the path of a wizard.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Stefano, accompanied by Sheriff Rollins Knight, took his leave. "Richard, let's go and spar with me," his brother Li Wei, noticing Richard's lack of interest, greeted him immediately.
The baron on the side also planned to take a good look at Richard's strength. After all, even he was quite surprised by the accuracy of the crossbow arrows shot by Richard last night.
Richard, who was not very interested, didn't want to go, but he was dragged to the training ground by his brother Li Wei. With the help of the guards, he put on the practice armor with built-in cotton padding, and showed the starting hands of Cornell's swordsmanship. style, and started to formally compete with his brother Li Wei.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!" The sound of the two steel swords continued to come, and his brother Li Wei was more shocked.
Richard's fighting became smoother and smoother. Every move and every move he performed in Cornell's swordsmanship felt so familiar. Some of the key points and tricks that he was not familiar with before seemed to have been peeled off at this time. Let him see the key points inside.
At the same time, his control of timing was much better than before. When to use which move, the baron who was watching the battle kept nodding.
"Ding!" After a heavy metal clash came, the two brothers each took half a step back.
Brother Li Wei looked at Richard with an expression as if he had seen a ghost: "Richard, were you teasing me before?" You must know that just now, brother Li Wei almost used his full strength, but he only had a slight upper hand and still couldn't move quickly. Get the win.
If this were done in the past, it would be simply unbelievable. I remember a few days ago, he and Richard were sparring, using only three points of force each time, but Richard still couldn't hold on to ten moves!
"Richard, what is going on?" Brother Li Wei's eyes were as wide as bells. He still can't believe that his always lazy brother can actually fight with his brother who trains hard every day. are almost evenly matched.
"Haha, maybe I have an epiphany." Richard smiled slightly. As for the truth, of course, he couldn't tell it, even to his relatives.
The epiphany that Richard mentioned is not unknown in this world. In the biographies of some bards, there are very few famous swordsman masters who made great progress in their swordsmanship after a sudden epiphany when they were young.
"It's unbelievable, Richard, are you the legendary swordsman genius?" Levi exclaimed. He had also heard of such a situation as epiphany, but he never thought that such a thing would happen to him or his family. Especially my younger brother who has always been lazy.
The baron's father also looked at it thoughtfully. After a while, he said: "Richard, I plan to send you to the county to practice swordsmanship with the swordsman Meyer. How about it?" Richard was suddenly surprised. He
knew In his own case, he is not a swordsman genius, he just has a golden finger that can trigger inspiration. If he goes to the county to practice swordsmanship, where will he get the chance to kill monsters.
If you don't kill monsters, you won't have energy points. Without energy points, you obviously won't be able to trigger inspiration. Then his pseudo-genius must be exposed immediately!
He immediately shook his head and said resolutely: "No, father, I still want to see if there is any hope of joining the wizard school. Ever since I saw Lord Stefano performing witchcraft, becoming a wizard has been my dream! Hope! Can you give me a chance to chase my dream!"
The Baron frowned. He wanted to say something more, but he nodded again, finally understanding what Richard meant.
His brother Li Wei rubbed Richard's hair and persuaded him: "It's not like you didn't hear what Mr. Stefano said, Richard. If you want to achieve something on the path of a wizard, you must It's too dangerous to go to the dark wizard school.
If you are from the White Wizard School and you have a rare talent as a wizard, I think your father and mother will definitely agree!
"Brother, I'm not afraid of danger. I believe I can take care of myself! " "Richard said firmly.
Since this world has extraordinary power, and God has treated him well and given him a golden finger. In this case, if he is still doing nothing in this life, he will not dare to pursue himself because of the slightest danger. Wouldn’t it be a waste of his life to dream of this?
Looking at Richard’s determined face, the baron seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, his face calmed down and he said: “Richard, do you really want to take the path of a wizard? "
Yes, for sure! " "Li Cha looked into his father's eyes and said solemnly.
"Okay, then come with me! "The baron turned around and walked towards the inner castle.
