Although the hall of the Master Council is very spacious, Norman's voice was very loud before, so it still attracted some people's attention. There were also some players among them.
"Boss, what are you doing over there? Why did it suddenly make such a loud noise?"
"If I remember correctly, that's the place where mages are appraised. We've been there once before. Hey, there are still people playing mages these days..."
The two players who spoke were probably the ones who came to the Mages Council looking for something to do, so they were sitting next to the team on the left side, sitting on the benches for rest, as if waiting for something.
"Here, it's that old man. He's responsible for making an appraisal for you..." The man who spoke later explained to his younger brother: "As long as your intellectual attributes and spiritual attributes meet certain requirements,
The request - there are about ten people on the forum - then you can go to the appraisal agency of the Mages Council for appraisal. In our Fenghua Town, it is probably that counter..."
He pointed at the counter over to Duan Qing: "The appraisal will show the attributes that come with your character's initial qualities. Well, those are your real attributes, and they can't be changed even if you delete your account...
.Then the appraiser will determine that you are suitable to be a mage, and then teach you some skills such as meditation and concentration, so...you will become a glorious mage."
"Oh, of course it's not taught to you directly, and you learn it. You have to use it yourself, and the system will stamp it for you... Well, it means you have understood the skill." The man thought again.
I thought, and then added: "Don't look at this step, many people who want to be a mage die on this first step."
"Well, what happens next?"
"What then? You have to rely on yourself for the rest of the spells!" The man sat there and spread his hands, making a gesture of "it's a matter of chance": "This is a free world, and it is different from other games. This kind of
You can only understand Xuanqi's stuff by yourself, and it's not like those melee skills. If you slash left and right, you'll be able to try it out sooner or later..."
"Then being a mage wouldn't be...very hard..."
"Who wouldn't be... So it's very difficult to play as a mage now. Among the existing players in the free world, except for the more famous ones, not many can play the legal profession well. But...
.... You won’t know until the later stages of the game, so it’s not good.” The man shook his head: “If you want to learn more spells and skills, it’s best to find a powerful mage to take you with you. Of course, if
It would be great if you could join the Council of Mages, but looking at you, I don’t think anyone would even give it to anyone..."
"Brother, what is it?"
The two of them looked up and saw a player who had just walked back from the front of the team. He was wearing a gray robe and had a tired look on his face: "You got up so early, but you still have energy..."
"Is everything settled?"
"Um......"
"Then let's go. Ajing is still waiting for us at 'Shuoxinghua'..." The man stood up and walked out of the building with the remaining two people: "I didn't know where it was just now.
Something happened. Anyway, two players wanted to play like a mage, so they went over to do an appraisal... Humph."
"As stupid as you are."
***************
"Don't be stupid, you are no longer suitable to be a mage after everyone has died."
"Why are you so anxious? Let me ask again. Just think of it as trying to get information..."
In front of the mage appraisal counter, Duan Qing and Mengzhu ran to the side to discuss.
After Norman made the appraisal results, he planned to close the door to thank the guests and drive the two people away. However, relying on his experience in the game, Duan Qing thought that the old man had not finished the matter, so he wanted to go back and ask, but this was naturally blocked.
Mengzhu firmly opposed.
The girl before was still secretly happy that she could finally make this messy uncle give up, but in the end... he still didn't give up.
"Master Norman, you just...I am not suitable to be a mage. What is the specific reason?"
In the end, the kind and innocent girl still could not overcome the uncle's determination and walked out angrily. Duan Qing sat back on the bench again and asked the old man carefully.
"You don't have enough qualifications." Old Norman didn't seem to intend to talk too much with the young man. After saying a word, he ignored him and continued to curl up in the corner and pretended to sleep.
Duan Qing had no choice but to look around. After finding that no one was paying attention, he... took out a bottle from his pocket.
He opened the cork on the bottle, and then...quickly closed it again.
After a moment as if nothing happened, the old man in front of him reacted quickly. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the green bottle in front of him with greedy eyes, with a tremor in his voice: "
This, this is..."
"Greenstone wine, authentic product." Duan Qing said proudly: "I bought this from old Granny Farr, in her herbal medicine shop."
"Of course... How could such a mellow fragrance be hidden from my nose..." The old man said halfway, his eyes suddenly became strange.
"Give it to you." Duan Qing was unambiguous when he saw this, pushed the green bottle into Norman's arms, and said carelessly: "Look, I am so sincere, are you..."
The old man ignored him, but took out the bottle in his arms, pulled out the cork, and took a deep breath: "Huh... ha..."
He squinted his eyes intoxicatedly, and just raised the mouth of the bottle to his mouth. Then, as if he had woken up from a dream, he looked around cautiously. His appearance was exactly the same as Duan Qing's appearance before. No one noticed this until now.
After standing by, the old man stuffed the green bottle into his arms, then scratched his head like a bird's nest, and said with some embarrassment: "Since you are so sincere, let me teach you a simple lesson...
..But where do I begin to explain?”
"Do you know what are the conditions required for the release of magic?"
"I... don't know." Even though he had played a lot of magic-containing games, Duan Qing didn't dare to speak out loud here.
"So how do I explain this to you..." Norman's old face wrinkled up: "Simply, you absorb elements from nature, and then gradually form your own power through the control of mental power.
And then... release."
A pinch of flame suddenly rose in Norman's hand, and then he waved it away: "The most understandable explanation is probably this."
Duan Qingtou expressed his understanding.
"The process in the middle is quite complicated, and I guess you won't understand it if I tell you about it, but you just need to know that there are two important factors in it. One is the magic power that supports the magic power, and the other is the mental power that supports your control of the elements.
"
Norman paused, and then continued: "There are many schools of research on the principles of releasing magic, but these two are basically recognized."
"If you have strong magic power, it is equivalent to a person having considerable strength. He can determine the maximum amount of power you can use when releasing magic; if you have strong mental power, it is equivalent to you having
Powerful control, for example, you can control your own power and use half of it to attack here, half to attack there, or more subtle differences..."
"I won't go into too much. Anyway, you won't be able to understand the control and application of these spells." The old man glanced at Duan Qing and stopped the seemingly endless teaching: "Your problem now is, you
In both areas...weak."
"The identification just now, or a test." He pointed to the tire-like tool next to him: "Actually, it is testing your elemental affinity attributes and elemental affinity. Judging from the results, the earth element is the closest to you.
Attributes, that is, if you release earth magic, you should be able to mobilize more earth elements from nature, that is... you have more magic power in the earth element.
"
"But even the brightest yellow is the...darkest light I have seen in so many years." Norman's expression became serious: "That is, even the earthly person who is closest to you is...
Elements are not enough to support you to release a magic..."
Duan Qing's expression did not change, because he knew that the old man had not finished speaking.
"In addition, regarding elemental affinity..." The old man touched his beard: "Although the M-II type is a bit old, it can still be seen in this aspect, that is... those magic rough stones are bright
The duration of the start.”
"Well, I remember...it was quite a long time."
"Not only is it quite long, I have never seen such a long and sustained response." The old man glared at Duan Qing: "And it's four yuan."
"What?" Duan Qing was shocked: "But there were only two pieces just now..."
"What can you, a person who doesn't understand anything, see? You..." The old man was constipated for a long time, and finally swallowed his words: "Just because you have a reaction, it doesn't mean you have to light up. In your case
During the test, the four stones were all responsive, but you couldn't see it..."
"I understand." Duan Qing could only sigh: "But what does this mean..."
"I want to know too." Norman said: "Especially the wind element, which has resonated with you for a long time... huh?"
"I remember not long ago... something happened over there in the Emerald Forest." Norman looked at Duan Qing with strange eyes: "You can't be...
.May I have your name?"
"Moshang Qingshan." Sensing the possibility of the matter, Duan Qing hesitated for a while, and finally decided to report his real name. He felt that it was not a good choice to hide the other party on this matter, and he would have to fight with the Mages Council in the future.
He didn't want to leave a bad reputation when dealing with other people.
Moreover, even if Christine and Freya reported the Emerald Tower incident to the Mages Council, they should not have spread it so quickly.
"Well..." Sure enough, the old man lowered his head and thought for a while, then showed a look of confusion: "Forget it..."
"In short, your current situation is that your magic power is very weak, but your elemental affinity is very strong...as strong as the elemental stone." Norman said: "Before you, this situation could only be overcome.
Lane wrote in his book "Magic Model Building" mentioned..."
"When you hear this name, it makes you feel noble."
"What does it mean to be tall?"
"Well, it means very powerful..."
"Powerful... very powerful." Old Norman shook his head: "Klein is a genius. He has devoted his life to studying how to use 100%, or even 10%, of mental power during the release of magic.
The power. He has even succeeded, but unfortunately..."
Norman stopped, as if he was remembering something, and then continued after a long time: "At the end of his book, he put forward a hypothesis, that is, a person without any magic talent can also be a magician.
As long as he can do...sensing elements, that's fine."
"What do you mean..." Duan Qing was confused.
"That's your situation." Norman pointed to his nose: "As long as you have a body that is friendly to elements and can sense elements, theoretically...you can become a magician without magic.
Teacher, and your affinity is still so strong..."
"I can become a very powerful magician!" Duan Qing said in disbelief.
"Dream on you, that's just a conjecture, and who do you think you are, are you Klein..." Norman seemed to become angry, and his beard opened a little: "That's just a conjecture! Even if
He is the kind of genius who only appears once every few hundred years, but was never realized in the end..."
The atmosphere behind the counter suddenly fell into silence.
"Let's go, you are not suitable to be a mage..." Old Norman seemed to have lost his energy: "At least not now."
"Maybe my judgment is wrong. If the situation changes, you can come back to me and I can... test you again."
"Okay." Sensing the old man's heavy mood, Duan Qingtou stood up and opened the fan-shaped door next to the counter.
"Oh, by the way..." Behind him, the old man's voice suddenly sounded: "How did you know... that I like drinking?"
"Oh, this..." Duan Qing turned around and said with a smile while still pushing the door open: "I would like to advise you... drinking too much will hurt your health."
The old man smiled, but his smile had a bitter meaning.
After Duan Qing opened the trap door and walked out of the hall, the old man took out the green bottle in his arms. This time, he took a sip without any scruples, and then murmured: "Moshang Qingshan...
....Hey."
"You two have always been so lucky..."
****************
"Do you want to go back and do another appraisal? It's free?"
"No, don't! Why did you stay for so long? What have you done..."
Outside the gate of the Mages Council, Mengzhu, who was waiting a little impatiently, asked Duan Qing who was walking out.
After this series of events, the time has come after noon. Just like the situation in reality, this is also the hottest time of the day. In the climate that is getting closer to summer, the sunshine without clouds will block you.
The enthusiasm of Fenghua Town is unreservedly sprinkled on the land of the Free Continent. But Fenghua Town is a mountain town, so on the mountainside of Fenghua Town, people still do not feel the heat from the sun.
However, it is precisely because of the higher terrain that the wind here often becomes very strong. This became particularly obvious after noon. During the conversation, the two people covered their heads and faces from time to time, blocking the way from Huawu Street.
, the attack of all kinds of petals.
The girl's golden ponytail has turned into a weather vane.
"Okay, okay, the wind is so strong here, let's go... Well, where should we go next?"
"Of course I'm going to the town hall to find connections!" The girl raised her right hand, and the black and red bracelet on it was shining: "That Rama, he should be an important figure in Fenghua Town, right?"
"That old man..." Suddenly realizing that he had met a lot of strange old men recently, Duan Qing shook his head and stopped what he was about to say: "The one Gustan mentioned?"
"Yeah." Mengzhu nodded happily, and the ponytail on the back of her head swayed up and down: "So we should go back to where we were..."
The sound of cooing suddenly reached Duan Qing's ears along the mountain wind, and then floated farther away - it was the sound of Mengzhu's stomach growling.
With the girl's face flushed, Duan Qing chuckled and said, "I think we should... go eat first."
"Well...I think too...Why are you laughing!"
"Hey, save your strength, I'll be so hungry that I can't run anymore. I don't want to carry you on my back again..."
In the intersection of sunlight and shadow, the two people just ran along the street toward the foot of the mountain in the direction of the wind.
