Chapter 89: scholar

Views:

When Brando stepped into Tulaman's house, the first thing he saw was the manuscript scattered on the black pine wood floor that could be seen. He turned his head to the left and saw a thick book on a wooden table—the world’s invention of paper pages is not very clever. In order to write on rough pages, people usually need to make a large width. , And then use a wooden shelf to cover it with cowhide to fix it. Therefore, the books are time-consuming and labor-intensive when transporting, and they are easily damaged.

Although the kingdom has a noble library and a royal college, it is only a place for the descendants of merchants, little nobles, and landlords to enjoy education. Even in a wealthy country, ordinary citizens who live well are more willing to send their children to work as apprentices in workshops everywhere.

Brando quickly saw the content of the book. It was a coincidence that Tulaman was actually studying ancient languages. He couldn't help but look at the manuscript on the ground. The other party should be studying the changes of the plateau language family (Cruz language family). From the records on the manuscript, there have been some results.

In this era, most people don't understand these manuscripts. As well as Bartom, he saw that most of these manuscripts were scrap paper, and Freya thought it was a ghost symbol at best.

And the sound of flipping through the book finally stopped—

"Young man, where did you find this language?" After searching a series of related documents, Tulaman finally found a phonetic and structure very similar to the word in Brando's mouth from an unfamiliar language family. Language.

Old Caronji.

The Caronjis are the weakest among the five tribes of the ancient Cruzes, but this is enough to prove the authenticity of some of the facts in Brando's words. The ancestors of the Cruzes really recorded history

Although Tulaman has always suspected that the modern Cruz people are not descendants of the ancient Cruz people at all, it can't explain that Gilt, the King of Flames, does have obvious characteristics of the ancient Cruz people.

Brando smiled, but didn't answer.

Tulaman put on his glasses and walked out of the inner room with a thick book in his arms. He sat down on a wicker chair close to a window opposite Brando and looked up at the four of them; then he opened the bookcase on one side and took out a pipe from the second drawer and placed it on the table. After knocking on it, a ball of flame came out of the pipe, and smoke rose again.

Tulaman held the pipe in his mouth, took a sip, and sprayed smoke from his nose. Then he said, "If you don’t speak, it seems that you have something to ask for, young man, let’s say what you want. I have to say that you have succeeded in half, and you have successfully caught the curiosity of this bad old man of mine. —"

He took off the pipe again, pointed at Brando with his cigarette holder and said, "But you haven't won yet, boy, I'm Tulaman, although I'm old. But I'm not too confused yet. What do you want from me with a single word? You? It’s better to come up with something useful."

The old man’s words made Bartom and Freya stunned, only to realize that Brando was making a deal with each other, but the deal between the wizards made them a little clouded. Until now, I still don’t know that they are old and one. What does Shao want to do.

Romain had an interesting look on her face. She liked Brando's composure. She had an instinctive keenness to feel that although the strange old man over there was hard-mouthed, he was actually subdued.

"I am a highland knight. I need someone to introduce me to the circle of scholars. My guide asked me to come here and tell me how to do it. That's what happened to Lord Tulaman." Brando decided to continue this. Pulling off his body, he didn't lie in a sense anyway.

The guide is a mentor to the Highland Knight wizard. He also has the responsibility of guiding the growth of the knight in the Highland Law. Brando's statement will not cause suspicion, and it will make Tulaman suspicious there. He knew that Tulaman knew many Dark Tower wizards.

Tulaman put one hand on the armrest of the wicker chair, smashed a cigarette holder, and fell into thinking as expected. He was wondering which old man had cheated him once. Although he was not a powerful wizard—but he was a senior scholar and a great alchemist, and he was very famous in the wizarding world. His friends and enemies were all over Warnd, so he couldn't remember who was joking with him for a while.

But he thought about it, it is not a big deal to introduce a newcomer into the academic circle, and Brando's performance will not be too embarrassing to him.

So Tulaman took a puff of cigarette, suddenly took out a piece of parchment paper from the drawer and put it on the cover of the book, took the quill pen and wrote something on it. Then he folded the paper and put it in the envelope, dripped wax juice, and printed the seal.

He picked up the envelope and looked up and asked: "I recommend you to study at Panosson for a period of time. You will know how we do things. Although Sir Panosson is a rigid person, he is a very good teacher. ,how do you feel?"

"Perfect," Brando replied. But he thought to himself that this was just a general procedure. Is it because he worked so hard to perform here just to save hundreds of Thor's registration fees

Of course not.

He decided to work harder, so when he walked up and twisted the letter with his middle and index fingers, he replied: "Master Tulaman, about the previous word. I want to say that I am studying the Cruz people. There is a small discovery in the ancient language family. Some local people living on the Balta Plateau seem to still maintain primitive customs. The wizards among them hold some ancient words handed down, but they maintain the most primitive aspect of the ancient Cruz language. —"

Brando answered half-truths. The aborigines of the Balta Plateau are true. The original series of discoveries indeed started from that deserted place, but the first stone slab appeared in another place.

To be honest, the slate has no practical effect on Brando, so he does not want the world to enter the era of chaos in advance.

Tulaman's eyes lit up, and the pipe in his mouth flickered.

"Are you studying the ancient language of the Cruz people?" He looked at the young man suspiciously: "Tell me, what else do you have insights?"

"You must have discovered, Master Tulaman, that ancient languages are full of magic. That's why words and languages are the root of all magic. But the era of chaos is a watershed. Since the ancient Cruz people, the magic of words It gradually declined..." Brando thought for a while and pulled out one of the backgrounds he had seen on the forum. The prophetic foresight of the times allowed him to know more about some core backgrounds than this scholar.

Tulaman nodded, revealing a glance of approval.

"Cause and effect, should it be related to the long war?" He replied.

"Years of war, interesting," the old man turned around, took out a ring from the drawer and put it on the envelope, and replied, "You may go to Sir Panosson's private collection first, if you have any new ideas. , You can come back to me with this ring again—"

There is a door, Brando's heart is bright, he doesn't know if anyone has done this step before, but presumably every step after that will not be easy. But at least there was a good start, which gave him a burst of joy.

But Tulaman didn't believe him, his method of slowing down was unique. Brando knew that this old man might leave for the Balta Plateau immediately, but it was hard to say whether he had gained anything.

Thinking of this, he ended up with an envelope and a ring. A line of faint green text appeared on the retina—they seemed to appear in his field of vision one by one, posing a problem:

Do you accept an appointment as a vice-professional'scholar'

Of course Brando chose to accept it. So a new column "sub-occupation" appeared on his attribute panel immediately, and the scholar lay quietly in that column. The experience is 0/6, and currently there is only "(historical knowledge 1 Level)' a row of small words.

In the Amber Sword, the secondary profession is a supplement to the formal profession. It is different from the main occupation. The secondary occupation generally strengthens a character from the side. Therefore, it does not provide powerful skills and attribute bonuses, but it allows the character to gain some special abilities.

It can be said that the deputy position is more similar to the status, but can be invested in upgrades.

For example, for a scholar, every time a character learns a knowledge level 5 or higher, he can open a corresponding "familiar profession". When he takes a job in this profession, the experience penalty is not included in the total number of part-time jobs. . Until he had three "familiar occupations". At the same time, scholars provide three times more skill experience than militiamen at each level, so they are called "necessary deputy positions" by players in the game.

Silvercastle scholars are stronger. Silvercastle scholars have four familiar professions and regard alchemy as their job. It is equivalent to a collection of academic deputy and alchemist deputy.

Of course, both deputy and deputy positions share experience and punishment, but it does not affect the main occupation.

As soon as Brando took office, he immediately invested 220 experience points to upgrade the scholar to level 6, and 250 points of skill experience. The ratio of experience to skill experience of the academic deputy in the first 6 levels is as high as one to one, which is the most terrifying of all occupations. However, there is a bit of trouble with deputy positions in that the occupational level cannot exceed the skill level 5 or more.

Brando needs noble or heraldic knowledge instead of historical knowledge, so the scholar level can only be released for a while when he is upgraded to level 6.

Finished my own business, but it was like a moment of distraction. He raised his head and asked, "Master Tulaman, I have a friend, and you have seen it too. You know her aunt, but she and her aunt are separated. We are looking for her. May I ask if you have met Roman Aunt?"

Tulaman knocked the pipe on the table, lifted the spectacle frame, and replied: "Young man, I only know her aunt. We haven't seen each other for almost ten years, I saw that girl. At the time, she was as old as this little girl. In fact, I didn’t know that she lived nearby—"

He watched Brando still speak, and hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't have to ask any more. Every wizard has his own secret. Since she didn't tell you, I won't say anything extra."

The old man sprayed smoke from his nose: "Okay, the conversation between us is almost over. Young man, your goal has been achieved. When you think you must know you on the road where you are now, then come to me. Late."

Brando was taken aback, then looked back at Roman.

The merchant girl smiled sweetly at him: "It's okay, Brando, my aunt is the best."

You guy. Brando glared at her, but his heart softened.
