Just as Claude expected, the diary written by Master Landers might as well have been called a memoir at first. Because when Master Landers wrote this diary, he had been promoted to a third-level rune mage, and he was later promoted to a third-level rune mage in that institution.
Landers stood out from more than a hundred low-level mages and magic apprentices in the magic tower that was blown up by gunpowder, and finally had a separate room on the underground floor as his dormitory. It was with his own independent space that Landers
The mage used the few Sullivan gold coins he received as a reward to buy this notebook made of rune leather paper to write a diary...
So in the opening chapter of the diary, Master Landers took the trouble to describe his childhood experiences, family situation, parents' hard work, brothers and sisters' friendship, etc. The first dozen pages of the diary are full of
Memories and nostalgia for the home he had left. But Claude still noticed from these dozen pages of diary that Master Landers was proud that he could successfully be promoted to a third-level rune mage. It only took four years.
Over time, from an illiterate fourteen-year-old boy to a third-level rune mage, Master Landers believed that he had lived up to his parents' expectations and the magical talent he possessed.
Because Master Landers wrote the diary in ancient Hertzian language, Claude read it very slowly, and occasionally had to look up some unfamiliar words in the dictionary. However, from the more than ten pages of memories written by Master Landers
From the looks of it, Claude discovered that it seemed that the magician was not as evil as the legends on the continent of Farea said.
Master Landers wrote that his home was in White Deer Village, on the shores of the picturesque Beringa Lake. Well, Claude knew that this was the predecessor of White Deer Town. But Master Landers also said that the entire
The southwest region, which is now the three southwest counties, including Bailu Village, is the owner of the Bailuzhou Magic Tower and the territory of the Seven Rings of Lornk. It’s just that the Master of Lornk is devoted to exploring the mysteries of magic and has no time to take care of these.
As for mundane matters, they entrusted the management of the territory to the three magic families.
There are eight people in Master Landers' family. In addition to his parents and himself, there are two brothers and two sisters. There is also one who doesn't like Master Landers very much, and Master Landers doesn't like her very much.
My grandma lives in their home and lives with their family.
Landers' father owned a small fishing boat. He would get up early every day and take Master Landers' two brothers to fish on Lake Beringa every day in the dark. The family also had five acres of land and a small vegetable garden, which were handed over to his mother and an older sister.
In addition, the family also raised a cow and a draft horse, which Master Landers was responsible for when he was a child. He had to cut a lot of grass every day to feed these two large livestock.
Master Landers' grandmother and sister have to do a lot of housework at home and feed a dozen chickens. The family is busy all day long, but the harvest every year must be handed over to the steward sent by the magic noble to collect taxes.
Half, the rest can barely sustain a family of eight, old and young.
Seeing that Master Landers' two brothers and one sister were about to grow up and it was time to consider their life-long events, Master Landers' parents began to become anxious and worried, not knowing how to get a large amount of money.
So that their children can start a family, start a business and marry in glory. At this moment, the magic apprentice test that takes place every ten years begins again.
The so-called magic apprentice test is a magic talent test conducted by the Seventh Ring Master of Lornk on children in the entire southwest territory. The age of the children tested is from five to fifteen years old. The age of the children who are tested as having magic talent
Those over the age of twelve will be taken to the Magic Tower to be trained as magic apprentices. Those under the age of twelve will be registered and tested again when they turn twelve. Those whose magic talents have not changed will be taken to the Magic Tower.
Become an apprentice…
Can magic talent change? Claude was deeply puzzled. However, the following diary records soon made him feel excited, because Master Landers said that his hearing has been very sharp since he was a child, even if his grandma whispered
He complained clearly in front of his parents, saying that he was lazy and playful again today and didn't take good care of the two big animals at home. So even though his grandma treated him equally in front of his brothers and sisters, he still didn't like her, and even
Somewhat annoying...
Master Landers said that sometimes he went to herd cows and horses. The cows and horses grazed on the grass, and he also lay on the grass. But even if he closed his eyes, the surrounding scene and the movements of the cows and horses would still appear clearly in his mind.
In my mind, it was as if I had witnessed it with my own eyes. Isn't this the same as my situation? Claude thought, it seems that this Landes mage also has a very strong mental power...
The person who came to Bailu Village to test the children's magic talents was a bearded magician. He wore a black robe and had a serious expression. He was a very scary person in the eyes of the children.
However, this terrifying magician entered the village accompanied by the housekeeper who brought guards to collect taxes every year. The villagers who were notified were honest and waited in a long line with their school-age children.
A test of magical talent.
Master Landers' parents took him and his sister to the back of the queue. There were more than forty families in front of them, and there were more than fifty children to be tested.
Bailu Village should be the last stop for magic talent testing in the entire southwest region. Next to the terrifying magician stood a dozen teenage children, both male and female, wearing gray robes of the same style. At this moment
They all stood there proudly, silently looking at the children who were taking the magic talent test.
The test was very fast, but none of the children in front of Master Rands were tested as having magical talent. Soon it was the turn of Master Rands and his family. His parents asked his sister to go to the test first. The props for the test
It was a transparent crystal ball. The black-faced mage asked his sister to stare at the crystal ball. Mage Landers seemed to see the green light flashing in the crystal ball, and then heard the black-faced mage announce that the wood element affinity
Three, unqualified.
Finally it was Master Landers' turn to test. He carefully looked at the crystal ball placed on the shelf in front of him, and wanted to reach out and touch it. But the dark-faced mage did not give him this chance.
Point to the crystal ball and tell him to stare at the crystal ball and see what is inside.
Only then did Master Landers discover that there seemed to be something vaguely unclear inside this transparent crystal ball. It was colorless and transparent, much like liquid flowing inside the crystal ball. But the more it looked like this,
, the more it attracts Master Landers to stare hard, so as to see clearly what it is...
Master Landers was not disappointed. He finally saw clearly what was inside the crystal ball. It was a fire burning, and it was burning more and more fiercely. The color was getting redder and redder. The flames were flashing and changing into various shapes.
Like clouds in the sky, sometimes like sheep, sometimes like houses...
After the color of the flames in the crystal ball gradually dimmed and turned into the colorless and transparent liquid, Master Landers came back to his senses. When he raised his head, he saw the dark-faced magician with a smile on his face.
With an expression of unusual surprise, he almost shouted, Fire element affinity is nine, spiritual power is eight, you are excellent, you have been chosen.
Master Landers said in his diary that one year after he became a magic apprentice in the Magic Tower, he learned how to read and possess certain basic knowledge of magic. He then learned that the crystal ball was called the Magic Talent Test Ball and that it was the owner of the Magic Tower, Luo.
A magic item refined by Archmage Enke, specifically used to test magic talents.
In the eyes of magicians, everyone in the world has magical talents, and mortals are no exception, just more or less. They call magical talents elemental affinity, which is divided into five levels, one to two, low
, three to four, average, five to six, average or passable.
But if they are mortals, forget it. Training requires a certain amount of magic resources, and promotion will be troublesome. But if they are mages or children and relatives of magic families, a level of elemental affinity of five to six represents
You can still try to save it.
For those magic nobles who occupy most of the power to allocate magic resources, there is a saying that is deeply rooted in their hearts, that is, if the talent is not enough, resources must be collected. Just like those computer games in Claude's previous life, RMB players are the game
The most noteworthy god for operators.
Even if you, an ordinary player, spend a lot of time and energy to train your game character to a high level, you are still no match for those RMB players. As long as they spend some money, they can fully equip their game characters with various high-end props.
, and then I can beat and torture you in various ways...
The elemental affinity is seven to eight, which means that even a mortal child has excellent magical talent and is worthy of being trained by a magician. Without spending much magic resources, these elemental affinities reach magic of seven to eight.
As long as apprentices learn basic magic knowledge, it is normal for them to be promoted to fifth-ring wizards with their hard work and time accumulation. And by then, they will be qualified to become high-level wizards' right-hand assistants and independent fighters.
The mage supervisor has been selected.
The highest level of magic talent is elemental affinity nine to ten, which is already classified as a genius. If the children of those magic families are found to have such high element affinity, then this magic family will definitely have a feast
Celebrate happily, and the family will not have to worry about it for at least two to three hundred years.
It is a pity that for those mortal children, their high magical talents will not bring any help to their future prospects. In the end, they are nothing more than black iron mages with a level of five rings. In this regard, they are not even as good as an element.
The children of magic families with affinity levels of five to six can obtain magical resources that these mortal children cannot hope to obtain in their lifetime...
In addition to checking the elemental affinity, the magic talent can also check the mental power of the test subject. Generally speaking, a test subject with high element affinity will also have a lot of mental power.
Just like how Master Landers performed when he was tested, he has an affinity for the element of fire, so when he stares at the crystal ball and examines it intently, the colorless magic liquid in the crystal ball will turn into a liquid representing fire due to his concentration.
The flames of the elements reflect more light depending on his affinity. He may not be able to detect this light because of his concentration, but the magician standing next to him can see it clearly...
…
The amount of mental power is reflected in the changes in the test liquid in the crystal ball. The higher the mental power of the test subject, the liquid in the crystal ball he is paying attention to will change several times, and the time will be longer.
of lasting.
Like Master Landers, he felt that the flames in the crystal ball were like clouds, changing around and transforming into various images and patterns. This was actually his mental power being reflected on the crystal test ball, and was also reflected by the magician next to him.
See it in your eyes.
At that time, Master Landers didn't know what the black-faced Master meant when he said you were chosen. He was just scared. But soon the steward in charge of tax collection walked up to his parents and congratulated their child on being selected.
At the same time, they announced that because Landers became a magic apprentice, their family's taxes would be exempted from all taxes in the future.
This news was a big surprise to Landers' parents. They could finally confirm that it was a good thing that Master Landers was chosen. So they held a grand celebration after returning home and invited their neighbors.
I came here to celebrate, and while I was pouring low-quality ale into my stomach, I didn’t forget to talk about my dream of not having to pay taxes. My family will soon become rich, and in two or three years, I can build a room for my grown-up children.
New house...
This was a big blow to Master Landers. His family seemed to have forgotten that he would follow the black-faced magician to leave this familiar town the next morning and embark on an unknown journey. He
He felt very panicked, very scared, and also felt very lonely. After all, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy who had never left the town to go anywhere else, and he was still following a group of strange people...
