Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 9: Magic test

Views:

Ryan thought about it carefully. Today, Flanner is promoting himself as a magician, so he should hide the martial arts skills he learned from Mr. Ghalib. If your enemy wants to deal with you in the same way as an ordinary magician, when he tries his best to get close to you, he will be defeated by your martial arts in despair. This is a good way to turn defeat into victory. But this magic needs to be carefully considered. Judging from Flanner's tone, it seems that magicians nowadays are more focused on a certain type of magic. Testing it by yourself using all types of magic will definitely cause a sensation.

Thinking of this, Ryan said to Vladimir: "Dear President Vladimir, I plan to conduct a test of the fire and arcane elements."

Vladimir didn't expect that Ryan could apply for two-series tests. He looked at Ryan again in surprise and said, "Okay then. Let's do the fire magic test first." He pointed to a black stone slab standing in the corner. , said to Ryan: "First use level one fire magic to attack that stone slab so that I can test it."

Ryan looked at the black slate standing in the corner, and was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that his teacher Delanai didn't seem to have taught him any magic in a systematic way, but only picked out some more practical ones. What is this first-level fire magic? How to cast it

Vladimir looked at Ryan in a daze and couldn't help but urge: "It's just the simplest first-level magic. Does it need to be meditated for so long?"

Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment and said to Vladimir: "What is this first-level fire magic?"

Both brothers opened their mouths and looked at Ryan in surprise. This young man didn't even know the first-level fire magic. What was he doing here

Vladimir suppressed his anger and said: "The first-level fire magic is the lighting spell. Casting this magic can make the designated items glow faintly. It is generally used in situations such as darkness and where objects cannot be seen. Items that are usually affected by the spell It’s the magic wand we commonly use. But for the test here, you can just use it against this black slate.”

Ryan shook his head and said: "This magic is useless at all. If you light up a ball of light for yourself in the dark night, isn't that reminding the enemy that you are a target? Hurry up and hit him!"

After hearing what Ryan said, Gillion couldn't help but interject: "But how can you see things clearly without this magic? How can you move forward?"

Ryan said in his heart: "When Mr. Ghalib taught me martial arts, I was not allowed to make a sound on such occasions. Even my breathing had to be strictly controlled to ensure that the enemy could not find me. Under this premise, stealth In the darkness, find and destroy the enemy. If you cast a ball of light yourself, your eyes will probably be knocked unconscious by Teacher Galib before you can adapt to the sudden change from black to bright." But Ryan didn't dare to say this. He looked at Seeing the flesh on Vladimir's face twitching, he knew that he was trying hard to endure it. If he kept talking nonsense, maybe the president would become as mad as a berserker.

Vladimir looked at Ryan's disapproving look and was a little dissatisfied, but considering that the Magic Guild was very close and no one came to conduct the test, he was ready to give Ryan another chance. He said: "No? Forget it. According to "Magician Testing Rules", if the tester can pass the test of a higher level, he can also directly obtain the title of a higher level, but the maximum cannot exceed the intermediate magician. Let's test your magic of a higher level."

Vladimir said: "Since you are the first person to come to the test in the past two months, I will give you some slack. I will not test you step by step. What magic do you know? Cast it one by one." Come out."

After listening to Vladimir's words, Ryan calculated in his mind that he actually knew the fireball spell in fire magic, so he didn't know if he could pass the test. But no matter what, let’s cast one first and then talk about it.

Thinking of this, Ryan recited a spell silently, and in less than 3 seconds, a flame the size of a pair of fists formed in his hand, turning into a crimson trajectory and flying towards the black stone slab. With a bang, the fireball exploded, but unlike usual, the exploded flames were absorbed by the black stone slab and had no impact on other places.

Ryan's fireball technique shocked Vladimir and Gillyon. They didn't hear him reciting the spell. How come it was released? Moreover, this fireball is quite powerful. The fireballs I usually test have not produced such great power when absorbed by this stone slab containing black iron.

A thought formed in the minds of the two brothers: "Did he use a magic item?"

It was rare for the two brothers to have such a tacit understanding, and they said to Ryan at the same time: "Did you use magic items?" After saying that, brothers, you looked at me, I looked at you, and suddenly found that your brother (younger brother), who had always been at odds with each other, was actually at this moment. With the same idea as his own, the two of them and their partners reached out their hands and scratched their heads.

Ryan looked at the two brothers who were moving in the same way, and he suddenly realized that the two brothers actually looked quite similar.

Vladimir looked at his brother with tender eyes, turned to Ryan and said, "Young man, the fireball spell you just released was cast by you yourself, without using magic items?"

Ryan nodded: "Of course, I released it myself." Then he added in his heart: "A magic item that can release fireballs doesn't cost hundreds of gold coins. I would have exchanged it for money if I had it. , are you still wasting it here?”

Vladimir looked at Ryan suspiciously, then at the stone slab containing black iron, and suddenly chanted a spell. About five seconds later, a ball of fire the size of five fists formed in his hand, emitting a dazzling light. Vladimir completed the fireball spell and released it onto the black stone slab. With a bang, the fireball emitted a sparkling light, which was completely absorbed by the black stone slab.

Vladimir saw that the power of his fireball was the same as usual. It should not be the problem with the black slate. He turned his head and looked at Ryan carefully, hoping to find some evidence from Ryan.

Gillyon looked at his brother and guessed what he was thinking. He said to his brother: "Don't look for it, brother. Do you think, if there is a magic item that contains a fireball spell that is more powerful than what you, as a senior magician, can unleash?" The fireball technique is even more powerful, so it is at least a semi-sacred weapon."

Vladimir thought about his brother's words carefully and felt that they made sense. Generally speaking, if a certain item can store magic through various methods, the magic power stored is less than half of the original power. Otherwise, a junior magician can slowly make hundreds of magic items in normal times and release them during magic confrontation. Wouldn't it be equivalent to having hundreds of helpers

Vladimir nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I didn't expect you to listen to smart people."

Gillyon rarely got the approval of his brother, and said proudly: "Actually, I have always been very smart, and you don't even know whose brother I am!" However, he said distressedly: "It's just that you hit me on the head every time. , I was almost stunned by you."

When Vladimir heard what his brother said, he felt angry and funny. However, thinking about it, he usually disciplined his brother more strictly. If his brother went out of line, he would scold him as hard as he could. As a result, the relationship between the two brothers became more and more tense. A pair of enemies. He sighed and said to his younger brother: "You're right, I always think of you as the kid who ran around behind me when I was little, so I'm usually a little stricter with you. It seems like I was wrong, I inhibited your development. I will never hit you on the head again."

Gillyon didn't expect his brother to say such affectionate words to him. He was stunned for a moment. He said indifferently: "Brother, you have beaten me for decades, and suddenly you don't hit me anymore. I'm not used to it. .”

The two brothers suddenly felt the deep affection for themselves in each other's hearts, and their hearts became very warm. Vladimir looked at Ryan. It was the arrival of this young man that eased the relationship between him and his brother. However, no matter what the test results were, he would always get the best result for him.

Thinking of this, Vladimir said to Ryan: "Young man, your fireball skills are good. You can also release all other magics. I will evaluate you based on your full strength."

Ryan nodded, raised his hand and fired a magic missile. With a "ping" sound, Ryan's magic missile hit the black stone slab, leaving a very light mark.

This result made Vladimir and Gillion take a deep breath again. Incredible, incredible. Although it is just the most common first-level magic that even a magic apprentice who has only gone through a few months of mental meditation can cast, Ryan has managed to cast magic silently and smoothly, and it is so powerful.

You must know that this black slate is not an ordinary slate. It was produced in the north of the Hengduan Mountains. The slate contains rich black iron. Black iron ore is the most capable of absorbing magic among the currently known minerals. Generally speaking, such a large black iron stone slab can absorb more than 90% of the magic power. The black iron itself is also very hard. It is not easy to leave a mark on a stone slab containing black iron. It is impossible to do it without a certain amount of strength. Among the seven magicians in the Elfa City Magic Guild, only two brothers, Vladimir and Gillion, can do this. And they all use magic of level three or above.

According to the magic experience of the two brothers, if a magic is cast silently, the magic power will be reduced by almost 15%. After all, if the spell is not recited, it will naturally not be able to gather enough magic elements; and if a magic is cast smoothly, it will not It is said that he can usually do things that only high-level magicians can do. Just by sending magic, its power will be more than 30% less than the power of normal magic. Therefore, Ryan's magic missiles still produce such amazing effects after achieving silent and smooth firing. Doesn't that mean that the magic released by Ryan exceeds the third-level magic released by other magicians

However, he was surprised, and the magic evaluation had to continue. Ryan's results were that he successfully cast the third-level fire magic "Fireball" once and the first-level arcane magic "Magic Missile" once. According to the "Magician Testing Code", if you want to be promoted to a trainee magician, you must be able to continuously cast three different second-level magics, while the requirements for junior magicians are higher, requiring five different third-level magics, and And so on.

Although Vladimir carefully read the "Magician Testing Code" again, he could only regretfully tell Ryan that he only passed the magic apprentice test and could only obtain the title of "Magic Apprentice". He personally put a badge on Ryan's head that symbolized a magic apprentice, and added a small flame symbolizing fire magic and a magic book symbolizing arcane magic to the badge.

Ryan's farce-like magician test finally came to an end.

Ryan walked out of the magician tower, and the sky outside had turned a little dark. Ryan didn't expect to stay in there for so long. He vaguely remembered that he went to the Mercenary Guild when the sun was rising directly above the sky. When he came to the Magic Guild, the sun was only slightly westward and now it was evening.

Seeing Ryan finally come out of the tower, a doorman wearing blue and white clothing who had been waiting on the roadside for a long time came up quickly. He took out a letter and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan opened it and saw that it was a letter from his new friend Flanner. Flanner regretfully told Ryan that he had to leave first because of some matters within the Chamber of Commerce. He hoped that Ryan would have the opportunity to come to Yignas City in the future. At the end of the letter, Flanner mentioned giving Ryan a Lion's Pride hotel badge, hoping that Ryan could carry it with him. With this badge, Ryan could travel to all Lion's Pride hotels throughout Eslar for free. Enjoy VIP treatment.

Ryan took a badge with a beautifully engraved portrait of the Lion King from the doorman, and was very moved. Although his friend Flanner had things to deal with, he was still thinking about him in his heart, hoping to have the opportunity to See him again and thank him in person.

However, Ryan does not intend to stay at the Pride of the Lion Hotel. On the one hand, this is because although Flanner was very kind to him and gave him a badge with free services, but after all, Flanner is only a member of the Dorok Chamber of Commerce. For an ordinary purchaser, Lion's Pride must spend a lot of money, so why bother to cause trouble to Flanner; on the other hand, Ryan felt that the environment of Lion's Pride was too good and would make people worry too much. In terms of enjoyment, isn't it an obvious proof that I didn't get up on time this morning

Ryan dismissed the doorman and decided to leave the city immediately, just like the adventure he had gone into the Hengduan Mountains with Teacher Ghalib before. Only in this kind of life can you temper your will and maintain your fighting spirit!

After leaving Alpha City, Ryan walked along the post road into the distance. Ryan plans to stay in Alpha City for a while, so he is going to find a better place tonight to prepare for his stay in the future.

When the bright full moon hung in the clear night sky, Ryan had already sat beside the burning bonfire. He was satisfied with the campsite he chose: there was a deserted cave behind him. Although it was a bit shallow, it was enough to sleep a few people. Outside the cave, where he lit the bonfire, there was a flat grassland, which was very comfortable to sit on; There is a stream not far from the grassland, which provides me with clean water, and it is also very convenient to skin and wash monsters. It is not too far from Alpha City, and the mercenary guild that travels to Alpha every day does not have to travel too far. road. If there is a piece of fragrant barbecue, it will be perfect.

Ryan had eaten around noon. After experiencing the events of the Mercenary Guild and the Magic Guild, Ryan was actually hungry for a long time. Ryan was about to hunt some monsters to fill his stomach, when he suddenly heard a wolf howl not far away!

There is a situation! Ryan immediately put the messy years behind him. He quickly stood up, blessed himself with a stone skin spell, and then watched the place where the sound came from vigilantly.

With the sound of heavy objects stepping on the grass, a monster slowly walked out of the woods and appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. Ryan looked through the light of the campfire and saw a thick white wind wolf. Ryan's pupils couldn't help but tighten when he saw the white wind wolf in front of him. It was actually walking on two legs!

The sound of "wow" sounded again, and three gray-white wind wolves appeared behind the upright walking Baose Wind Wolf. However, these three gray-white wind wolves were walking on all fours, unlike the ones that first appeared in Ryan. The one in front of me only walks on its hind legs.

Ryan looked at the four wind wolves, one large, three small and four, with vigilance, thinking of countermeasures in his head. Even the knowledgeable teacher Delanai never told Ryan that Warcraft can walk with only its hind legs. Isn't that the same as humans? Could it be the orcs who came to the north

The sturdy wind wolf walking on its hind legs saw Ryan standing in front of the bonfire looking at him with vigilant eyes. He did not pounce on him like an ordinary monster. Instead, he comforted the three little wind wolves around him and walked towards him alone. Ryan.

Ryan was very nervous when he saw it walking towards him. Even if a level 7 Earth Bear pounces on Ryan fiercely, Ryan is not afraid. Although the Earth Bear is powerful, has rough skin and thick flesh, and has strong defense, its speed is slower. As long as it swims with it, , slowly consuming its strength and always finding an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. But Ryan didn't know what the monster in front of him was. People often have fear of strange things, not only people, but also huge monsters.

Fortunately, the stout wind wolf was standing far away from Ryan. He looked at Ryan carefully, with a very human-like expression on his face, and suddenly said in a low, wolf-like voice: "Hello, adventurer."
