"Instead of predicting the future, can I test my attributes first?"
Instead of wasting time chatting with Mayena, the always pragmatic boy wanted to finish his business before talking about these distant legends.
"Okay, get ready."
Mayena agreed to the boy's request without any ink. She bent down and rummaged for something under the counter.
"What preparation?"
"Mental preparation."
"Huh? Does this thing still need to see blood?"
The young man stood in front of the counter and looked in, wanting to see what the high elf was going to take out with a serious look on his face.
After rummaging for a while, Mayena took out an iron box. She patted the dust on it casually before opening the lid. Then she frowned and stared at the open box as if thinking about something.
From this position, the young man could not see what was in the box. Although the young man saw that Mayena looked so serious and was a little curious about what was in the iron box, he thought that if he rashly went over to take a look, he would probably get scolded again.
.
Mayena took out a delicate crystal bottle about the size of an adult's finger from the box. There was no suspicious liquid in the bottle, it was just an empty bottle. Under the confused gaze of the boy, Mayena unscrewed the cork, and then
He simply wiped the narrow mouth of the bottle with a cotton swab, then raised his head and said to the young man in a commanding tone:
"Put your hand over here."
"Huh? What are you going to do?"
Although the young man muttered in his mouth, he still stretched out his right hand.
"Oh! Your hands are quite interesting."
Mayena stretched out her right hand to hold the boy's hand so that she could put his palm in hers and watch.
"Is it palm reading?"
The high elf gently pushed up the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at every texture on the young man's palm.
Although the young man's mind is no longer green, he is still a little embarrassed to have his hand held by an outstanding-looking woman like this.
"No...have you practiced bow and arrow and dagger for five years?"
Mayena's voice was a little low, and she no longer used the lazy tone before.
"Well, it's been about that many years."
When exactly did he start learning how to fight? The boy couldn't remember exactly. Most of that time was accompanied by pain.
Regarding that memory, he will not completely forget it, but he will not remember it too clearly.
"How did you tell?"
"The calluses on your palms are clearly vertical and horizontal, which is caused by frequent bow-drawing. Compared with the calluses here, the thickness of the calluses on the belly of your fingers is thicker, which means that you actually came into contact with daggers earlier."
"Why can't it be a sword?"
"Oh, your question is very poor."
Mayena raised her head and glanced at the boy with contempt.
"A few years ago, your human frame was not long enough to use a sword over two feet long. In addition, your hand bones were not deformed, and your arm muscles were not stiff or strong. These are not
Meeting the characteristics of a swordsman also shows that you do not meet the standards of a swordsman physically."
"So you can only use light short weapons such as daggers or short swords as common weapons. In fact, you are still like this now, right?"
"Okay, yes, but what does this have to do with testing attributes...Ah! Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Before the boy finished speaking, Mayena suddenly had a small syringe in her hand, and unexpectedly inserted the needle into the boy's wrist.
"What are you doing?!"
"Don't move."
Mayena used her backhand to suppress the boy's right hand that was trying to break free. Seeing that the needle had penetrated into the blood vessel of his arm, the boy did not dare to move rashly and could only let the thing draw his blood.
Mayena's green eyes stared at the glass tube that was gradually filled with blood, and she pulled out the syringe when she felt it was almost done.
"Okay, here you go."
Mayena threw a piece of cotton cloth at the boy. The boy took it with his left hand and immediately pressed it on the injured area of his right hand.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Can't you see? Take blood."
After introducing the extracted blood into the crystal bottle, the female elf took out a transparent crystal ball the size of a small leather ball from nowhere, and then began to play with the crystal ball.
"Is this a necessary step for testing?"
What Mayena gave was Takasugi hemostatic cotton, a high-end product that the unscrupulous doctor Woz was usually reluctant to take out. In just a short time, the bleeding stopped. Although the wound was still aching, it was still aching.
After touching the cotton ball, the pain was significantly reduced. However, this did not mean that the boy would thank her.
"Um."
Mayena snorted and was busy with what she was doing without raising her head.
The young man said angrily: "Then you should have told me earlier! Don't suddenly stick me with a needle!"
"Shouldn't a human kid like you be afraid of pain? I think I am very considerate of your choice to divert your attention so that the blood collection can proceed smoothly."
However, this female elf was still talking to herself, apparently not feeling anything wrong with her actions.
"I'm not afraid!"
The boy who felt that he was being looked down upon in every aspect unconsciously raised his voice.
"Then do you feel sorry for the little blood you shed?"
"I have shed much more blood than this, why do I feel bad? It doesn't matter, okay?!"
"Since it doesn't matter, then why are you arguing?"
Mayena glared at the boy with an indifferent expression. The boy was unconvinced and wanted to argue. Mayena said again: "And I told you before to be mentally prepared, right? Don't say I didn't warn you."
"You... okay! You win."
Now the young man realized that his ability to quarrel really needed to be improved, at least now he couldn't defeat this female elf.
Thinking that the other party was doing it for himself, and that getting a needle was no big deal, the young man swallowed his anger and stopped pursuing it.
After Mayena had almost prepared the items on hand, she told the young man: "Now I have to concentrate, and you don't talk."
There was no need for Mayena to emphasize that the boy would not disturb her at this time. Magic rituals are quite serious, and a slight mistake may cause the results to be very different from the expected results. So the boy deliberately took two steps back and pulled away from Mayena.
Keep a good distance from Na so as not to disturb her.
A flat space had been cleared on the messy desktop. After placing the crystal ball on a prepared brown cork table, Mayena took out a small cloth bag from the iron box and dipped some of the contents inside with her index finger.
The white powder outlines ancient symbols one after another on the table.
The young man could not determine the origin of these powders, but he could see a faint light from the powders when he looked from a distance.
This is still the result under a crystal lamp. If the light is turned off, the light emitted by these powders should be clearer.
But he just thought it was some powder with fluorescent properties and didn't pay much attention to it.
In fact, these powders are magic powder. Generally, traditional magic powder is made by grinding the magic core of monsters and mixing it with other herbs. Monsters with magic cores are usually very powerful, and they are hidden in the mountains and forests and are hard to find, so you need to take risks.
Hunting requires teamwork.
Therefore, the price of magic powder is also extremely expensive. In terms of buying and selling, the price is comparable to gold. However, magic powder is a common material used by magicians to draw arrays. In order to reduce costs, ordinary magicians will use something similar to "magic powder".
” characteristics, and can be replaced by “magic dust” that is much more affordable in terms of price.
However, magic dust is made from magic crystal ore that contains a little elemental magic power, so the effect is naturally greatly reduced.
However, as an immortal high elf, Mayena, neither time nor money means much to her. She has been away from her family since she was a child and has been traveling around the world for many years. Naturally, she has no shortage of these precious materials on hand, let alone what to use.
Use the defective products to build a magic circle.
The test array for testing attributes is not complicated. It only took Mayena less than half a quarter of an hour to draw a small array with three mana spells as the core.
"Ask for the source of mana, peer into the original eye... (Elvish language)"
Mayena put her hands on the crystal ball, closed her eyes tightly, and muttered something.
The boy discovered that the light of the magic circle next to the crystal ball was fluctuating with Mayena's chanting. After the three core spells were all affected, Mayena also stopped singing.
It turns out that the mage's chant is equivalent to entering an activation code?
The young man understood the scene in front of him in his own way, and recorded in his mind Mayena's actions of carving the magic circle. Although he did not think he had the talent of a mage, it was always good to gain more knowledge.
Next, Mayena poured some of the previously collected bottle of blood onto the crystal ball. The brilliance of the magic circle immediately focused on the crystal ball in the center of the magic circle. The bright red blood turned into a pool of black liquid under the strong light.
, the color of the crystal ball also changes accordingly.
"Your attributes have come out."
Mayena squinted her eyes and stared at the shining crystal ball in front of her.
"What is it?"
Is it earth? Is it wind? Or is it water? Or is it fire?
The young man could not see why this colorful crystal ball came to be.
There are six major elements in the human body, and the amount of these elements is the basis for the final attributes. The characteristics of different attributes determine the person's future direction.
"What do you wish for?"
"fire."
Personal attributes can be traced from personal preferences and personality. Although he doesn't know the result now, the young man thinks that he should be fire.
The young man guessed that he was fire, because he was once given a surname called "Yehuo" by someone, and he himself liked the warmth and enthusiasm of fire, so if he could choose the attribute, the young man would choose fire.
"Oh? Then you may be disappointed."
Mayena tapped the crystal ball lightly with her right index finger, and the color of the crystal ball changed from the ever-changing chaotic state to stable.
At this moment, the originally bright crystal ball became dim and turned into a turbid black. A faint aqua blue halo flickered in and out of the ink-black crystal ball.
"You are darkness, darkness and water, you are..."
Mayena looked at the result displayed by the crystal ball with a complicated expression. Even she felt unbelievable about the result. However, as a proud high elf, Mayena did not think that there was any possibility of her making a mistake. She paused for a moment and continued:
