Chapter 296 What kind of magic apprentice are you doing?(1/2)
In the new surface city camp, compared to the vigorous recruitment of new recruits at the main site, the professional inheritance plan that had been postponed for more than half a month due to the Jishui City operation appeared to be extremely efficient.
Perhaps based on the previous experience, the mage group optimized the interview process for the second batch of immigrants from Zeelandia, which only caused hardship for the children from Zeelandia.
Because this group of children have all gone through compulsory education at the Zeelandia Children's School, the questions and standards compiled by the mage are obviously more beyond the syllabus.
I heard that there was an unlucky child who lost a lot of his hair while doing the questions, probably because his parents had high expectations which led to excessive psychological pressure.
In the end, the mages were afraid that this young man would become bald or even an idiot after completing the questions and ruin the reputation of their mages, so they ended his test early and gave him an apprenticeship as appropriate based on his acceptable past results.
Unfortunately, the mages of Zeelandia also took great pains to find themselves a successor.
When I was an apprentice before, I didn't realize that in the traditional ivory tower-style teaching between master and apprentice, mages generally have a way of identifying a mage's talent, and have a long career to choose one or several apprentices to pass on the spells of their own school.
For people like them to become mages, it is equivalent to having crossed the threshold that separates ordinary people from professionals, and the only competition they face is between apprentices.
It was only now that they were selecting apprentices that they discovered that being a legal practitioner was really not something that ordinary people could do.
Although it is not as scary as choosing one out of ten thousand, it is not an exaggeration to say that only one out of hundreds is barely suitable.
Take the last batch of Silver Moon immigrants as an example. Including the orphans, only two were selected in the end, and one of them was already appointed by Red-robed Fischer from the previous batch. For this reason, even Ige was like this with
It was rare for the boss of Moyan, the leader of the world, to protest.
It is a waste of talent to claim that a child like Anna Jones who is born with excellent intelligence is just one step away from extraordinary ability to follow a magic barbarian like Fisher.
Fisher said confidently: "It's just about learning magic. As long as your intelligence is high enough, it doesn't matter who you learn it from. Besides, arcane magic is simply not suitable for a little girl like Anna, okay? Do you expect Anna to follow her all her life?"
Are you going to die alone in the Moyan Laboratory?"
Not to mention, Fisher's apparently mindless rhetoric, for an introverted magic researcher like Iger who has devoted his life to exploring the origin of arcana, directly caused an explosion no less than a Mysser nuclear explosion.
He was hit and injured, and he shut himself up on the spot without saying a word.
But the "resentful" look he gave Fischer when he left made the bald man in red robe shudder, always feeling that this boss would wear small shoes for him in the future.
However, what makes the mages breathe a sigh of relief is that facts have proven that the Zeelandia Mining Children's School, built in Zeelandia according to the boss's will, has made great progress in the children's knowledge and even intelligence.
Among the less than a thousand children, there are more than 20 children whose intelligence meets the needs of legal practitioners.
One of the children named Anthony also made Fisher seem to have found a savior to mend the relationship with Big Brother Igo.
No, after Fischer discovered this 'talent', he quickly sent it to the boss.
So much so that Anthony, who had not had time to be happy after the interview was successful, was packed and sent underground directly, looking at the formidable magic research institute in front of him with a confused look on his face.
Soon, he met his future mentor, Igor.
Eagle first glanced at the various data on the paper:
Name: Anthony
Race: human
Strength: 0 Agility: Constitution: 9 Intelligence: 7 Perception: 3 Charisma: 0
'Mediocre intelligence, low perception, but it's okay.'
Ige commented in his mind, then raised his head and took a serious look at this stocky little guy who was obviously from a farm family, and forced out a smile that was not very natural:
"Anthony?"
"Yes, Mr. Master."
Anthony was a little nervous. Although he had imagined that he could become a mage one day on the boat with his parents, he was beaten up by them. Unexpectedly, he relied on instinct and logic to do it.
Those questions that had never been asked before were really taken by Master Mage. I don’t know if Father Herbert would feel pain in the face after learning the news when he got home today.
"Anthony, let me ask you, do you have the consciousness to dedicate yourself to knowledge?" Iger asked.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Master." Anthony touched the back of his head.
Iger thought for a moment and realized that he seemed to have frightened the child a little. His expression became a little gentler. He touched Anthony's head and led him deeper into the laboratory while saying:
"It doesn't matter, I just want to tell you that to become a legal practitioner, especially an outstanding legal practitioner, you are destined to sacrifice many things, such as glory, marriage, and life.
"Of course, it's too early for you. You still have a lot of time to reflect on these issues. If you feel it's not suitable for you in the future, you can tell me.
"Now, let's practice our hands first."
Iger took the confused Anthony to an experimental bench and continued:
"To become an arcanist is to seek ways to explore the nature of all things in the world. The exploration tools and derivatives sought and created on this path are collectively called arcana.
"I think there is no faster and more profound way than to understand a legal practitioner himself.
"Here, dig him open, and I'll tell you that when you become a legal practitioner, which tissues of your body, especially the brain tissue structure, will undergo corresponding alienation. This is the beginning of the extraordinary life.
"This is also the first lesson I teach you."
Anthony, who suddenly had a scalpel stuffed into his hand, looked at the green body on the reception platform. Especially after learning that the other party was still a legal practitioner who he could only look up to before, his little face instantly changed.
green
"vomit"
‘Father Herbert! I suddenly regret it! I don’t want to be a lawyer anymore
'The mage is really scary!!!'
Just when Anthony was so frightened that he vomited when he came into contact with mages, a group of extraordinary creatures, on the first day, the friends who originally established the "Genting Descendants" in the "Mordencan Mansion" finally found their respective destinations.
However, most of them unanimously asked their adoptive families to get together with their friends. Naturally, no one would embarrass them because of such a reasonable request.
This also reassured these orphans a lot.
As Kevin Jones originally proposed, they are likely to be selected for adoption by different families, but how to ensure that they will not be abused and illegally exploited after adoption is an extremely urgent issue.
Because of similar problems, Kevin had seen many in Silvermoon City. For example, his and Anna's father, a grain merchant, had adopted many orphans in this way.
With a little training, they can serve as cheap labor in their own grain stores.
However, the longer they stayed in this special camp, the less worried they were, and it proved more and more that their original desperate choice was not wrong.
Like Levi's elf merchant with strange ideas, this territory treats them relatively gently and specially.
Although the territory also requires children like them to work together, most of them are errands that they can do, such as using tools to make wooden wedges, collecting fodder for those creatures called Los beasts, etc.
It was just a joke after they were interviewed by the mages on their first day here.
That is, after Anna passed Fisher's assessment and became his mage apprentice, the former red-robed mage may have felt that his miserable and deceitful apprenticeship could never be repeated with his apprentice.
In addition to Anna's commendable intelligence, strength, agility, and physical fitness, these three major categories are simply a perfect scumbag in combat.
Fisher was really worried that he, a frail apprentice, might die at any time due to accidents such as the explosion of the experimental platform, backlash of spells, or being eaten by the monsters as a snack when he was feeding them.
For this reason, a "physical training plan" was tailored for Anna.
First of all, there are five meals a day with weird and nutritious ingredients made from super-standard ingredients. After Anna ate half of the larvae of the ground digging bug from Joseph's Garden, her little face turned pale on the spot.
But seeing the bald mage staring at her with an 'attentive' look on his face, the poor little female apprentice could only bite the bullet and swallow the messy ingredients that were said to increase strength.
After a hearty meal, she took the mining hoe that was longer than her in the morning to dig stones in front of the Griffin Cliff.
In the afternoon, Fisher actually summoned a hellhound in front of Anna, bound its mouth and claws with magic, and made Anna, who was completely stupid, straddle the neck of the hellhound for riding training.
That night, Anna, who had been tortured to the point where her whole body was about to fall apart and her hands were covered with blisters, reappeared in front of her friends. This group of 'descendants of Genting' almost had to plan and organize an overnight escape just because they had entered a den of thieves.
In the end, it was only after Kevin's analysis and comfort that these orphans settled down and persisted until now more than half a month later.
But when he looked at his sister, who was already half a head taller than him in less than three weeks and was becoming more and more likely to become a female alpine warrior, Kevin still twitched at the corners of his eyes and asked with difficulty:
"Anna, during this period, what courses did your instructor arrange for you? Why did you suddenly grow so tall?"
Anna pouted instinctively at first, feeling full of grievances in her heart. However, after seeing the envious looks of her friends, she suddenly changed her mind about complaining.
He waved his hands with a calm look as if he had already crossed mountains, rivers and seas and passed through crowds of people:
"It's nothing, it's just that Teacher Fisher said that he suffered from a loss of vision back then, so before learning magic, in addition to developing a good physique, the other important thing is to increase his knowledge and know his interests.
Only by understanding your talents and talents can you plan a lifelong career path in advance.
"So since he returned to the camp yesterday, he started taking me door to door to the homes of mages, asking those mages to demonstrate the magic of the eight schools of magic, and asked me which school of magic I was interested in.
"However, in order not to disappoint my mentor, I decided to major in his evocation of fire spells, as well as the conjuration system to summon alien creatures and protection spells.
"However, it is said that calling a partner from another world is somewhat different from the summoning system. It seems that you need to learn a spell called [Oath Binding from Another World].
"In addition, the creatures in different outer planes are also very different. The instructor asked me to wait and said that when I have free time in the future, he will try his best to take me to explore as many outer planes as possible to choose from.
"As for my height? Oh, brother Kevin! Why have you become shorter!?".
Kevin: ""
And all the friends have been stunned by Anna's description of a completely different world that belongs exclusively to mages in just a few sentences.
Could it be that being a master apprentice can be so exciting?
However, they were inadvertently led astray by Anna.
However, if Anna's experience as an apprentice were known to other mages, especially Fischer's colleagues in Torre, they would definitely shed tears of envy, jealousy and hatred, thinking that being a mage apprentice was such a great job!
Many of them were used as magic test materials and sold to their mentors. Every day, they not only had to pray tremblingly that they would not become their mentor's next test subjects, whether they were preparing potions, feeding large monsters, or going out to carry out the guild's rigid tasks.
Mission, which one is not walking on the tightrope of life and death.
