The word "spell"... he could still understand, it was an extraordinary power that could only be controlled by a wizard. But what is the word behind it? It feels inexplicable. It is the same as when he was doing the questions on the Atlanta Qualification Examination.
Ma Qiu frowned deeply, thought for a while, and looked to the side.
In this square, apart from the people behind the table and him, there are others. They are all young people who passed the Atlanta exam not long ago. There are quite a few of them. At a glance, there are nearly a thousand at least.
At this time, these people kept asking questions in front of each table.
Ma Qiu looked at it for a while, pursed his lips, and leaned forward thoughtfully.
When he walked to the nearest table, Ma Qiu said nothing, but he heard someone next to him ask: "What do you do here?"
Sitting behind the table was an old man in green robes. He glanced at the person asking the question, pointed to the "Magic Creatures" wooden sign standing next to the table, and said loudly: "Creatures, you know! Explore the mysteries of life, Analyze the principles of disease, plague, reproduction, and the body. Well, I know you don’t understand, but I can tell you that this subject will lead the trend of this era in the near future. If you are interested, you can follow me to learn .”
"Studying diseases and plagues?" The face of the person who asked the question changed after hearing this, and he murmured something in a low voice. Without even daring to look at the old man in gray robe, he left dejectedly, followed by a large group of people. People, including Machu.
Ma Qiu was not afraid. In fact, he had suffered from illness for a long time when he was a child, and he wanted to understand what the disease was like. However, he wanted to know more about what the other people behind the desk were studying, and wanted to hear more and see more.
In this way, Ma Qiu quietly squeezed to another table.
Sitting behind this table is an old man wearing a bowler hat and a golden monocle. He is saying with a smile: "If you want to learn from me, you will understand the mysteries of the ancient wizard civilization. , know the thickness of history, and understand the changes of time. In other words, you can explore with me in the deep ruins, find and study ancient cultural relics, and analyze their past and secrets."
"Then...Teacher, what exactly do we want to learn?" Someone asked with interest.
"This is a lot to learn. At least you need to understand the history, materials, and machinery. Finally, you also need to know a little bit about magic patterns and spells." The old man said.
"But..." The person who asked the question hesitated, "But... Teacher, I don't have wizard talent. How can I learn magic patterns and spells?"
"Don't have wizard talent?" The old man took a deep look at the speaker and smiled on his face, "That's just because you think you don't have wizard talent."
"No, no." The speaker shook his head, "It was the Tox Association that said I didn't have wizard talent. The wizards in their association tested it on me with a crystal ball, and it's absolutely true."
"That's just because they think you don't have wizard talent." The old man said without changing his tone. "Actually, wizard talent is not important in Atlanta, at least in Atlanta. In comparison, it is even more important. What matters is your learning talent and hard work. If you are really smart, have strong learning ability, and are willing to work hard, even if you do not have the so-called wizard talent, Atlanta School will still have the ability to let you learn magic patterns, spells, etc. thing."
"How is that possible?" The speaker was full of disbelief.
The old man stopped explaining too much and smiled softly, seeming to have something to say: "Knowledge will make many seemingly impossible things become commonplace. The only question is whether you have the ability to accept this." Knowledge."
"this… "
Seeing that the speaker was deep in thought, Ma Chu walked towards the side with twinkling eyes.
Can you learn spells without wizard talent? He was a little excited about the old man's words. After all, who doesn't want to control extraordinary power? However, the more this happened, the more he wanted to know what the other people behind the table would say.
Afterwards, Ma Qiu visited most of the tables in the square and heard the words of various people.
Among them, there were some extraordinary ones that shocked him extremely.
For example, next to a table, there is a sign saying "Spell High Energy Materials", and behind it are a blue-robed wizard and a beautiful girl with long hair shawl. The blue-robed wizard was taciturn and didn't say anything, but the girl with long hair shawl explained the content of this subject. To put it simply: this subject is to try to create a material, use it to first destroy a room, and then destroy it. Fallen a courtyard, then destroy a street, a city, and finally the entire world!
This is crazy... this is a cult of the devil...
After hearing this, Ma Qiu felt a sense of terror.
Of course, this is just a special case. Apart from this, there are also other things that interest him very much.
For example, next to a table, there is a sign saying "Spell Linguistics", and a red-robed wizard is sitting behind it. The red-robed wizard spoke eloquently. The content of the subject he taught was to study the relationship between spells and spell release effects.
Isn't the relationship between the two very simple - chanting a spell and releasing a spell
When Ma Qiu was confused, an ordinary student helped Ma Qiu ask questions to the red-robed wizard.
Not really! After hearing this, the red-robed wizard shook his head quickly and said that the relationship between spells and spells is not that simple. In fact, according to research, spells can only affect part of a spell, not all of it. If you are an experienced wizard, you can still easily release spells without using spells, which is called silent spells, but the difficulty is a bit high.
Only inexperienced wizards need the assistance of spells to increase the success rate of casting spells. It is worth mentioning that because everyone has different intonations and mastery of language, the mantras chanted are actually different. Under this premise, generally only if the spells chanted are too different, the spell will fail, otherwise it will only reduce the power of the spell.
What is the reason for this, how much influence the spell has on the spell, and whether the spell is a kind of language all need to be studied.
To learn this subject, there is no requirement for wizard talent, but the language ability must be passed - in addition to the mother tongue, you must be proficient in at least one more language. Therefore, people with this kind of ability can consider learning from him, and they will never be treated badly - the red-robed wizard said at the end.
Ma Qiu was a little moved after hearing this. After all, he met the conditions. However, he resisted the urge and did not sign up immediately. Instead, he looked at many other strange subjects.
For example, next to a table, there is a sign saying "Magic Mathematics", and a gray-robed wizard is sitting behind it. The gray-robed wizard had white hair and an expression on his face as if he was owed money. He was too lazy to talk to anyone. He just held a quill and kept writing on the papyrus scroll.
Unable to bear the constant questioning, the gray-robed wizard took out a piece of paper and shouted: "Prove this question on the paper, or at least have a proof idea, and then talk to me."
I saw scrawled writing on the paper:
It is known that if an apple is cut into two parts, each part is one-half of the apple. If an apple is cut into twelve parts, each part is one-twelfth of the apple. It is also known that two apples minus one apple is a 'plus one' apple, and one apple minus two apples is a 'minus one' apple.
So, if you add exactly one apple, add exactly two apples, add exactly three apples, add exactly four apples, and so on, until you add exactly countless apples, why is the final result? Negative one-twelfth of an apple
Machu:? ?
Another example is a table with a sign saying "Magic Philosophy", and behind it are a purple-robed wizard and a tall, thin boy with a pale face. Faced with everyone who asked a question, the tall and lanky boy would give the same explanation and answer: "Studying this subject is likely to get nothing, but you can understand that getting nothing is the best result. .”
Machu:? ?
After spending a long time, Ma Qiu finished browsing all the tables in the square. He stood in the middle of the square, looking left and right, feeling a little confused for a moment.
He now understood that he came to this square to choose a subject as the direction of his study and research in the next three years. In addition to some weird subjects like "magic mathematics" and "magic philosophy", he feels interested in many subjects, such as "magic linguistics", "magic biology", "magic fluid mechanics", "magic ancient artifacts" study"…
So, which one should he choose
He had a feeling that choosing a subject was like opening a door, with different doors leading to different ends. What his future will be like depends largely on what he decides today.
That…
"call-"
After thinking for a long time, Ma Chu took a deep breath, walked to one of the tables, followed the example of the others, and submitted an application to the wizard behind the table.
