Chapter 7: Apprenticeship

　　 In the next two months, the Northland was completely covered with ice and snow, and it was difficult to see a pedestrian in the sparsely populated wilderness.
Adam’s hunting career stopped completely half a month ago. The wild beasts are too rare, and they usually only have a harvest in a few days. It is because of the pervasive mental power that some small creatures are pulled out from the underground cave. This group of small creatures provide Energy can't even keep up with consumption.
The manor’s dining hall Riyadang became a tyrant. The fat chef and fat aunty’s daily meals were all occupied by Adam. After the first few complaints, the other servants found no effect, so they had to go to other places to have a meal. eat.
　　Earl Johnson has never looked for him once, he has not even passed on a word, as if he has completely forgotten him. When the earl’s two sons had wooed him one after another, the stupid Marshall assumed the identity of the earl’s first heir and ordered Adam to be loyal to him with a charity tone. The price he wanted to pay was only a complete knight breathing method. The cunning Dennis is much smarter than his brother. He not only provided Adam with a complete breathing method, but also promised to provide Adam with all the resources he needed for his practice, including a salve every month, the position of the future knight commander, and a lower class Knighthood.
　　 Adam rejected them one by one. Adam has no interest in these since he knew the existence of the wizard. After two months of continuous and efficient exercise, Adam has become a knight, and the follow-up breathing method has already been completed. Adam is more certain that the Cavaliers are inferior, because in his deduction, the way forward has been broken.
I don’t know if it was because of the earl’s silence or the support behind Ophelia. Although Adam refused to solicit, he did not encounter any trouble. Although Marshall and Dennis were angry, they did not stupidly attack Adam, which indirectly saved them both. Human life.
　　 One evening, in the heavy snow that never stopped in the Northland winter, Adam saw Ophelia again. Unlike the noble and indifferent before, Ophelia seemed very happy today, and even said to Adam in a cheerful tone: "Master Mage from Moldo Mage Academy is here."
　　 Adam exhaled heavily, the breath turned and the snow turned into a tornado, and the scarlet blood fluctuations disappeared in a flash. In the cold weather, Adam was only dressed in single clothes, and the temperature seemed to have no effect on him.
　　Ophelia's eyes flashed with brilliance, only two months later, this one's former playmate is already so strong, this talent is really terrifying.
　　 "Pack your things, you are going to Cold Maple City with me tonight. Master Master will start the qualification test tomorrow morning." Ophelia ordered.
　　Qualification test? Is the assessment of this kind of profession relying on public examinations?
Feeling Adam’s doubts, Ophelia explained:
It seems that for some reason, the Master Master, who was originally scheduled to come two months ago, delayed the trip and changed the original plan to a small-scale one. Test selection. So in order to avoid wasting time, you and I will be tested by Master Master in advance after dinner." In fact, only Ophelia could test in advance, but there is no need to mention this small matter.
　　 Adam nodded, and then signaled that he had nothing to pack, and Ophelia did not bring any entourage. One of them rode on a horse, and the other ran on the ground and rushed towards Hanfeng City.
　　 Cold Maple City did not bring Adam any new senses. With the low productivity of ordinary people in this world, the cities they built were not as good as the earth in case.
　　 After arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, Adam was arranged to go to another place to rest. Free servants prepared dinner for him, while Ophelia went to the main hall to attend the dinner after bathing.
Two hours later, Adam was told to rush to the main hall. In the upper part sat a man who couldn’t tell his age. He was wearing a noble tights and was talking to the earl. Ophelia stood nervously. Below, after seeing Adam, motioned him to stand beside him.
　　 Adam can feel the strong blood fluctuations in Earl Johnson, which is the power that will reach the end of the knight career, but he can't feel any energy fluctuations from the man. This mage looks like an ordinary person.
　　 "Respected Master Black, the two I would recommend are my little daughter, Ophelia Johnson."
　　Mage Black nodded to Earl Johnson, and then looked at Adam and Ophelia. He didn't see any movement. The powerful and violent mental power filled the whole hall.
　　 "A huge energy intrusion was detected, extremely dangerous, and self-defense started." Adam's mental power instantly reacted, spreading on the body surface to deal with the invasion, but Adam's mental power was defeated after only one hundredth of a second.
　　 "Defense failed, make a response plan...no plan."
Logical thinking is crazy alarm, but he has nothing to do with the situation in front of him. Fortunately, Mage Black is not going to kill two people. His mental power is released and he said with a smile: "The mental power is excellent." Then he turned his head to face Adam: "Especially It’s you, it’s hard to imagine that an ordinary person has such a huge mental power, which will be of great help to your apprenticeship."
Seeing that there was still fear on Ophelia’s face, Mage Black explained: "Don’t be afraid, oh, this is not an ordinary mage qualification test, but I heard the earl say that you have extraordinary talents, so try it out. That's it."
Ophelia was relieved and took a few violent breaths. In just a short time, her body had been drenched with sweat, and her blonde hair was wet on her back. She did not expect that the usual Black at the dinner would be so. powerful.
Mage Black went on to say: "Becoming an apprentice of a mage requires two important conditions. The first is extraordinary mental power. You are qualified. Second..." Mage Black stretched out his finger and drew a few strokes in front of him. Bright runes are suspended in the air. "The foundation of learning spells is knowledge, and the foundation of applying spells is runes. This is the simplest mental power curing rune. Use your spiritual power to describe it, and then leave it in your soul."
The structure of the rune is not complicated, but it is not easy to copy it. For Adam, the main difficulty lies in the amount of mental power needed to copy it. For Ophelia, the most rare thing is how to keep it in the soul. among.
Adam stared firmly at the spiral-shaped mental power solidified rune in the air. The super memory and calculation power made him remember the structure of the rune at a glance. All of Adam's threads were copied hundreds of times at the same time, and the mental power was resurfaced. It spreads and oscillates with ripples, which are formed when the spirit power of the condensed rune is too large.
Mage Black stared at Adam. Even though he had become an official Mage and was almost separated from ordinary humans, he still admired Adam's talent. This situation is obviously caused by the mismatch between the initial curing rune and Adam’s mental power. Yes, but he would not kindly gift Adam higher runes. This is very important knowledge for the mage, and knowledge represents value.
　　 "If I had such a talent in the first place, I wouldn't have been in the apprenticeship stage for 80 years."
An hour later, Ophelia successfully copied the rune and left it in her soul. At the moment of success, she felt that a small piece of spiritual power was vacant, and then new spiritual power was generated to fill this vacancy. Leah smiled dazzlingly, looked up at Mage Black, and then said: "Master Mage, I succeeded."
Mage Black is in a good mood. Every apprentice with outstanding talents will change the embarrassing situation of the Moldo Mage Academy to a certain extent. He said to Ophelia: "Your talent is very good. If you are smart enough and didn't go wrong. If you do, you will have a high chance of becoming a member of the wizard."
　　Earl Johnson also breathed a sigh of relief. This is undoubtedly good news. The future Master Johnson, he wants to make this news public.
　　 "Respected Master Black, then, he..." Earl Johnson wanted to get better news ~EbookFREE.me~ That is, Adam has no qualifications as a wizard.
　　 Master Black understood the earl's meaning and shook his head and said, "He has a better talent. Don't worry, he will succeed."
Adam is indeed about to succeed. Because of his huge mental power, it takes more effort to copy this simple rune. This is easy to understand, just like you can’t use a sledgehammer to sculpt it, so he needs to keep reducing Mental power output. Thanks to his powerful computing power, Adam found this value within two hours and successfully copied it in his soul.
　　 Unlike Ophelia, he did not feel an obvious vacancy in his mental power. The cohesion of a low-level rune was just a dispensable improvement for him.
　　Earl Johnson was slightly disappointed.
　　 Earl Black stood up and said, "Congratulations, you have passed the test. From now on, you have become a mage apprentice. After tomorrow, you can go to Moldo Mage Academy with me and start learning how to become a mage."
Mage Black went on to say: "Your qualifications are all excellent, but don’t be obsessed with your qualifications. It is only useful in the apprenticeship stage. To learn knowledge, master knowledge, use knowledge to change the soul, and explore the truth. . Remember, knowledge is the most precious wealth and the most powerful force."
　　 Adam and Ophelia Qiqi bowed slightly to him, and said, "Yes, honorable Master Black."
　　 Just as Mage Black was about to leave, Adam suddenly asked: "Excuse me, what is the rune?"
　　 Mage Black stopped, looked at Adam and said, "Good question, as your guide, I can answer a question for you for free, so is this what you want to ask?"
　　 "Yes, honorable Master Black."
