In the spacious cabin on the deck of the giant ship, four wizards sat around a long table, each sitting on a high-backed chair, discussing things.
"What should we do?" Wizard Lewis, who was sitting in the east, said, "We can't continue testing, right?"
"Why not?" asked Quinton, the wizard sitting in the south, "I think this method is good."
"But there are a lot of people who died. In today's test, more than twenty people died, and a similar number of people were injured." Sifu said while sitting to the west.
"There are more than twenty people." Wizard Demps sitting in the north said expressionlessly, "This loss is acceptable, a little more is fine. After all, our White Stone Tower trains fighting wizards, not nerds. If they haven’t transformed their thinking now, they will die if they die.”
"But what should we do if something happens to those students with high talents?" Wizard Louis asked, "They are very precious. Even if one of them is lost, it will be a big deal."
"Give them some special care." Dempsey said, "It doesn't need to be too much, just let them notice. In every test, they are allowed to make mistakes, but if they make too many mistakes, forget it. After all, no matter how talented they are, they can't." Stupidity cannot be saved.
As for students with medium talents, low talents, and no talents, it doesn't matter. If they can pass the test, they are considered lucky. If they cannot pass the test, that is their due fate. Of course, some people with special behaviors can also be cared for to a certain extent. "
"Like?" Silver asked.
"The girl named Nancy is good. Anyone can die, but she must not die."
"Of course." Louis said, his tone slightly raised, "I recruited her, she is the best this time, right? I will keep an eye on her and never let anything happen to her. But to be honest, as long as With her current strength as a first-level apprentice, it is basically impossible for anything to happen, as long as she doesn't get too impulsive."
"Yeah." Dempsey nodded in agreement, and continued, "In addition, there are a few people, such as Tyson and Noko in the third cabin below the deck, Pippen, Murphy, and others in the second cabin. Dali and Anthony may be a little less talented, but judging from their performance today, their physical fitness is relatively outstanding. Even if they cannot become wizards through normal means, they can still take the path of medicine. Even if they fail, they can become a squire. It’s also pretty good.”
"Speaking of performance." Silver said, "There is another person who performed well today. The boy named Richard who lives in the third-floor cabin is very good at swordsmanship, even better than the girl named Nancy."
"But it's just that the swordsmanship is great." Demps glanced at it and didn't care very much. "As for the swordsmanship, the shortcomings will become bigger as you go up. When you reach the level of third-level apprentice, it is basically irreparable, let alone the wizards in the future. class
Since you said he lives in the third cabin below the deck, then the talent is either low-level or non-existent. Of course, there is not much difference between the two. All in all, his chances of becoming a wizard were slim. If the physical quality is not outstanding enough, the way to force a breakthrough using medicine should not be possible. It does not require too much attention, and life or death does not matter. "
Silver stopped talking, because what Dempsey said was reasonable. The reason why he mentioned Richard was because among the people he recruited, except for Luther and Calvin, who had high talents, basically no one was good at it. In comparison, he was the worst recruiter among the three ships. He wanted to save some face, but Dempsey couldn't help it without rubbing the sand in his eyes.
Who told Richard that he was only good at swordsmanship and not other things? Maybe he is very strong at the current stage, but when he starts practicing at White Stone Tower, he will only become bigger and bigger than others, not even comparable to Tyson or Anthony.
Then it doesn't matter whether we live or die.
well.
Sifu sighed softly in his heart, his eyebrows lowered, and he became silent.
"How many more times are there going to be tests?" At this time, Quinton, who was sitting on the south side of the table, asked and changed the subject.
"It depends on the situation." Dempsey thought for a while and replied, "Although the number of students enrolled this time is enough, the proportion of high-level talents is too low. It will not look good if we go back like this. Therefore, why should we take the rest of the students' Reduce the number by one-third or half to ensure that the ones left behind are smarter and more powerful ones, without too much waste mixed in."
"So, two or three more tests?"
"Roughly the same."
"Well."
…
A few days later, it was night.
The third cabin on the deck of the giant ship is in the cabin where Richard is.
Richard, who was evaluated by the wizard as not mattering whether he lived or died, was seriously studying the "One-eyed Violence Potion" on the parchment in the cabin.
After a few days, Richard had basically mastered the contents of the record and tried to make the potion, but found that one raw material was missing.
According to the records on the parchment, the name of the missing raw material is "Rainbow Bird Purified Blood". Its main function is to reduce pain and control emotions. It is considered a core raw material.
For some reason, this raw material does not exist in the few porcelain bottles obtained from the pirate ship before, so the preparation of the potion cannot be carried out.
So how can you get this raw material
Richard thought and said to himself: "Based on the name, it can be judged that this raw material should be the blood of a kind of creature, and this kind of creature should be relatively rare, so there is no reserve. But it will not be too rare, otherwise It is impossible for One Eye to prepare enough potion to turn more than twenty elite pirates into red-eyed pirates.
If this creature is a seabird, it should be encountered on the deck on a daily basis. But, how do you know that the other person is the so-called rainbow bird? Colorful with feathers of many colors? Well, it looks like I need to walk on the deck more during the day. I hope this bird’s living habits are normal, otherwise, if it lies dormant during the day and comes out at night, then... "
As Richard was talking to himself, he heard the sound of footsteps and shouts coming from outside the cabin door: "Hurry up, hurry up, Master Wizard asked us to go to the deck. If something happens, hurry up, hurry up..."
"Da da da… "
Richard opened the door and walked out, and saw a large group of people running upwards. Gro, who was caught in the crowd, squeezed over and said proactively: "Your Excellency, Richard, I heard that another test is going to be conducted."
"Again another test?" Richard raised his eyebrows, "It's only been a few days since the last test, and it's just another test?"
"Um, um..." Grotto scratched his head, "I don't think something is right either. But someone seems to say that although it is a test, it is not a real test."
"Can that be a fake test?"
"Um, this... I really don't know." Grotto shook his head in confusion.
"Let's go up and take a look before we talk." Richard said.
"Okay." Grotto followed Richard towards the deck above.
