Feng Ping thought it was a taboo for Dui to name his teacher, so he didn't care, and said with a smile, "He's still a respectful kid, yes, he's worthy of my Tiangang sect. Come, let's find a place to have a good talk." Said Then, took Dumb's arm and left.
Duan didn't want to go with him at first, but Owen told him not to be rude to the members of the Tiangang Sword Sect. In desperation, he had to be dragged by Feng Ping and followed him to the back of the mercenary union.
Behind the mercenary union is a large martial arts arena, where mercenaries who have no missions usually practice martial arts here. Walking into the Martial Arts Arena, many people were practicing their kung fu. When they saw Feng Ping, many people would call out Big Brother Feng, or Captain Feng.
Feng Ping greeted everyone one by one, pulled him to the center of the martial arts arena, and said, "Okay, let's stay here." He drew out the big sword behind his backhand, and said with a smile, "Since you can't tell your teacher's Name taboo, let the uncle guess, as long as you try a few moves of your Tiangang swordsmanship, I will be able to guess which brother's disciple you are."
Dumb stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do. He just entered the society, like a newborn baby, who didn't understand anything.
Feng Ping said: "Get out the sword! Let the uncle show you some moves." He held the sword in both hands, and a faint white light came out from the tip of the sword, which was full of fighting spirit.
Seeing Feng Pingshi's vindictiveness, Duan felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, as if Owen had come to life again, and wanted to fight him. Since the uncle said that he is a member of the Tiangang Sword Sect, the person in front of him should indeed be his uncle. He pulled out his Tiangang sword with his backhand, and Dumb said respectfully: "Uncle, please advise." Owen pointed with a tree branch His scenes kept flashing in his mind. Dumb's eyes were reddish, he held up the Tiangang sword with both hands, shouted loudly, and surged out with a burst of fighting spirit, with a ray of white light, just like chopping the waves, he swung down suddenly, that look The unparalleled momentum immediately made the red-haired man who followed him back a few steps.
Feng Ping's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Good momentum." Holding the broadsword behind his back with both hands, he suddenly lifted it up, just in time to connect with Dumb's sword edge.
Ah-Dai felt the true qi in his body rolling out like sea waves, and the white dou qi suddenly produced faint ripples. With a sound of "clang", the two Tiangang Broadswords collided in the air, and the shock force came, and Ah-Dai Can't help but take a step back. In terms of feeling, the skill of the uncle in front of him seems to be inferior to that of Uncle Owen.
Feng Ping withdrew three steps in a row before he stabilized his figure. He was horrified. The Duan sword contained the fighting spirit that the Tiangang Sword Sect was proud of. He even sent out three waves of battle energy at the same time, and the intensity was not inferior to his own, and the depth of his skills seemed to be still higher than his own. As far as I know, there is no senior brother who can train such an outstanding disciple. He retreated to advance, his whole body burst out with vindictiveness, transformed into a Changhong, and suddenly rushed towards Ah-Dai. It is a move of Changhong Guanri in Tiangang swordsmanship.
The confrontation move just now greatly boosted Duan's confidence, and he shouted again, and he also slashed with a sword, still using the simplest slash among the nine Tiangang sword techniques he had learned.
Feng Ping watched Ah-Dai's Tiangang sword slashing at his own, but he couldn't change his move. For some reason, he felt that Ah-Dai's sword seemed to seal off all angles around him, so he had to fight hard, clang, again With a soft sound, Ah-Dai took another step back, but at the same time resolved Feng Ping's moves. Their fight immediately attracted a lot of mercenaries who watched the excitement. These mercenaries were of relatively low level, and their skills were not high, so they could only watch the excitement and applaud.
Feng Ping landed on both feet, breathing a little unevenly, he dismissed all the mercenaries around, pulled Duan aside, and praised: "Good swordsmanship, boy, you must be the best in the fourth generation of our sword sect. Tell me quickly, which senior brother taught it?"
Dui inserted the Tiangang sword back into the big skin bag on his back, thought for a while with a dull mind, and said, "I, I don't know the name of the teacher. He just taught me swordsmanship."
Feng Ping said: "Then tell me, where is your teacher now." In his mind, several senior brothers who are more advanced in kung fu are all submerging in the sect, as long as the silly boy in front of him tells where the teacher is, he will be able to guess Which senior brother is it
Dumb's eyes turned red, and he said, "My teacher, he, he is dead." Thinking of Owen's death, Dumb couldn't help feeling sad from his heart, and tears flowed down his face.
Feng Ping was shocked in his heart, and lost his voice: "What did you say?" He kept asking Ah-Dai questions, and Ah-Dai had no choice but to describe Owen's appearance, but no matter how Feng Ping thought about it, he couldn't think of such a thing. Who is the brother who died. It seems that I can only wait until I go back to the mountain, and then ask the master.
"Dumb, how did your master die?"
Knowing that he couldn't answer this question, Duan hesitated for a long time before saying: "He was killed by a group of men in black. I don't know why, but before the teacher died, he asked me to wander in the mainland, and I ended up here. "
Feng Ping patted Ah-Dai on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, don't be sad, how about it, you come back to the mountain with me in a few days, I will take you to see Grand Master, he will definitely uphold justice for your master .”
Duan was taken aback for a moment, and thought, does uncle's master still have a master? But he didn't dare to ask, and said: "Master, I, I can't go back to the mountain with you right now. The teacher told me to do a few things before he died, and I will go back with you when the things are done." He is now What they want to do most, one is to register as a magician, and the other is to return to the Forest of Illusions to meet their teacher Corris. If you go to Tiangang Sword Sect with Feng Ping, it will definitely delay a lot of time.
Feng Ping frowned and said, "Why is it so urgent, you have to do it immediately."
Duan lowered his head and said: "Uncle, don't make it difficult for me, it's all some master's private affairs, he specifically told me to do it as soon as possible before he died."
Feng Ping sighed, and said, "Okay, you come with me." Then, he led Duan into a small room behind the mercenary union. The Red Lion Mercenary Group that Feng Ping belongs to is a first-class mercenary group, which can be regarded as a little famous in the mainland. He originally wanted to recruit Duan into the group, but seeing his current state, he had to give up this idea. idea.
Feng Ping took out a small cloth bag from the cabinet, handed it to Ah-Dai, and said, "Take it for the road, and come back here to look for me after you finish your master's work. I'm usually here, even if I'm not, within a month It must be back. At that time, I will take you back to the mountain. Be careful on the road, the mainland is not very peaceful now."
Dumb was holding a heavy cloth bag. As a former thief, he knew it was a bag of money just by touching it. "Uncle, thank you, but how can I ask for your money?"
Feng Ping's face darkened, and he said, "Why are you being polite with my uncle? We are all a family, and we should help each other. By the way, Dumb, don't you have a name?"
Dumb shook his head, and said, "Since I can remember, I've always been called Dumb."
Feng Ping sighed: "You must have suffered a lot when you were young. Dumb, although I only fought two moves with you just now, it feels like your fighting spirit is not weaker than mine. How hard have you practiced now? It seems that you are doing better than me in the endless decision."
Duan scratched his head and said, "My Shengsheng Zhenqi has reached the fourth level, so it should be almost the fifth level."
Feng Ping was startled, he only cultivated Shengsheng Zhenqi to the fifth level last year, this kid looks silly, how could he improve so fast? You must know that after passing the third level of Shengshengjue, it is very difficult to go up one level, and only one or two people of my master's generation have cultivated to the eighth level, and the highest ninth level can only be reached by the ancestors. When the child in front of him was as old as he had just entered the third level, the master was already very satisfied.
"The fifth level is already very good. You have to work hard, and you will definitely be able to expand the lintel of our Tiangang Sword Sect in the future."
Duan nodded and said, "Uncle, I will definitely." He had already thought about it, and after he found Teacher Corris, he would practice hard for a few years.
Feng Ping said: "Since you still have a lot of things to do, then I won't keep you. If we have a chance in the future, let's catch up on the past together." Under the watchful eye, Dui didn't dare to go directly to the Magician's Guild, but walked all the way, turned a corner and stayed for a long time before turning back. This is not because Duan is smart, but because he instinctively feels that it is not appropriate for Feng Ping to see him joining the Magician's Guild.
"Boy, you have gone to the wrong place." A deep voice sounded.
Dumb just walked into the gate of the Magicians Union, still thinking about the enthusiastic uncle in his heart, he was startled when he heard this, and looked around, only to see a huge magical hexagram painted on the ground in the middle of the lobby, and on the front wall There is a huge white wooden board with dozens of names written on it, classified from high to low. The title on the top is Mage, and there is no name behind it, and there is a blank word written on it. , followed by senior magician, intermediate magician, and junior magician, with the most names following the junior magician. There is a counter under the wooden sign. In the entire lobby, there is only an old man wearing a yellow magic robe behind the counter. The voice just now is obviously made by this old magician.
Dumb scratched his head, and asked tentatively, "Here, isn't this the Magician's Guild?"
The old magician was still sitting there, and said, "Yes, this is the Magicians Guild, please go back, no magician here is willing to be a mercenary."
Dumb was taken aback, the old magician in front of him obviously regarded him as a member of the mercenary group, he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, no, I am not a mercenary, I am here to conduct the magician test level and get paid. "I finally found the Magician's Guild, and I don't know what it would be like to wear a magic robe.
The old magician was taken aback, and said, "Aren't you joking, do samurai also learn magic? It's really rare."
Dumb blinked, and said, "Why can't warriors learn magic? Besides, I am indeed a magician! Uncle said, how can I have the level of a junior magician?"
The old magician frowned, the boy in the samurai costume in front of him didn't look like a joke, but since he was carrying the broadsword of the Tiangang Sword Sect on his back, he should be quite skilled! How is it possible to learn magic? Not everyone can learn magic, one must be very talented. After practicing for so many years, he is only a junior magician of the earth system. Since he does not have a noble title, he can only guard the door here. Look at the foolish kid in front of him, he won't be stronger than himself. He waved at Dumb and said, "Come here."
Dumb stepped forward a few steps, and walked in front of the old magician. The old magician looked at him carefully, and said: "No matter how I look at it, I think you look like a warrior, but since you are willing to take the test, let me teach you the test fee first. If you pass the test, the fee will be returned to you." , if it doesn’t pass, the money will naturally belong to the trade union.”
Duan was stunned, and lost his voice: "Is there any money for the test? Why haven't I heard from my uncle. How much?"
The old magician stretched out five fingers, shook them, and said, "Not much, just five gold coins."
Five gold coins, Dumb counted with his fingers. One gold coin is ten silver coins and one hundred copper coins. One copper coin can buy two steamed buns, and the five gold coins can also buy a thousand steamed buns. A thousand steamed buns? That's enough to feed myself for a few months. He couldn't help stammering and said: "Uncle, yes, can you have less."
The old magician snorted disdainfully, and said, "Less? Why less? There are rules. If you don't have money, you should leave quickly. Come back when you have enough money."
Dumb touched the money bag that Feng Ping gave him just now, gritted his teeth, and took out the money bag, hoping that there were silver coins in the bag, and he should be able to barely make up the amount of five gold coins. He put the money bag on the table, untied the rope buckle on it, looked at the old magician again, and opened the money bag. As soon as the money bag was opened, Duan and the old magician were stunned, because there was a bag full of gold coins in it, and seven or eight of them were purple amethyst coins.
The old magician couldn't help but said: "Looking at your shabby outfit, I didn't expect you to be so rich."
Dumb doesn't care about the amount of money, as long as he can take the magic test and become a magician, and fulfill Owen's wish, he will be satisfied. He took out the five-rose gold coin and handed it to the old magician, saying, "Can I take the test now?"
The old magician snorted, and said, "I can't see that you are so rich in such shabby clothes. Well, you can wait here for a while." Then, he walked towards the back hall from a small door next to him.
After a while, the old magician and a blue-robed magician came out, and said, "The branch leader, that's him. You see, he's dressed as a warrior. How could he be a magician?"
The blue-robed magician looked only forty or fifty years old. Hearing this, he glared at the old magician and said, "Old Huang, you are becoming more and more presumptuous now. Although our magician is a noble profession, you are also You can't treat outsiders like this! If other clubs know that we have ruined the reputation of magicians, I will be in big trouble. Don't you want to guard the front door?"
The old magician hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "No, no, branch leader, I know I was wrong, so I promise not to make an example."
The blue-robed magician nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai clearly felt that the magician in the blue magic robe in front of him had strong mental fluctuations.
The blue-robed magician said kindly: "Young man, are you going to take the magician test?"
Dumb nodded, and said: "Yes, I have already paid the money, should I start now." With the money Feng Ping gave him, he wanted to finish the work here quickly and go to the steamed bun shop to return the money to the steamed bun store owner. He was so kind to him, Dumb always felt that he owed him a lot.
The blue-robed magician smiled slightly, stretched out his hand in front of Ah-Dai, and said, "You take the five-rose gold coin back first."
Duan was stunned, and said anxiously: "I, I am really a magician! I don't want money, so please give me a test."
The blue-robed magician smiled, pointed at the old magician and said, "Young man, I apologize to you for his actions just now. We don't charge any fee for the magician test. He deliberately made things difficult because he saw that you don't look like a magician. Yours. Return the money to you, and I will give you a magic test immediately."
Only then did Ah Dui take the gold coin from the blue-robed magician's hand, and carefully put it back into the purse. Before he could urge him, the blue-robed magician said, "Come with me." Under his leadership, the two entered in the back hall.
The back hall is a square room. As soon as he entered, Duan felt strong magical fluctuations on the surrounding walls and ceiling.
Seeing the doubts in Dumb's heart, the blue-robed magician said: "This place is for testing, so a defensive barrier has been placed on the walls. You can do whatever you want later without worrying about it. My name is Kieg, is the branch president of the magic union in this city. Alright, you can start now."
Dumb was taken aback, start? How did he know how to conduct the magic test when he came to the magic union for the first time? "Uncle Kieg, me, how do I start?"
Kieg frowned slightly. He was the only great magician in the city. Normally, anyone who saw him would not respectfully call him Mr. Great Magician, but this kid in front of him actually called him an uncle, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward. However, he, who has always been open-minded, naturally would not argue with a child, and said indifferently: "You just need to use the most powerful magic you are best at. You can use whatever kind of magic you are a magician."
"Oh." Dumb replied, the best and most powerful one should be Bolide. Thinking back on the incantation, he was about to recite the incantation, but he found that Jiger was still standing in front of him. He said kindly, "Uncle Jiger, can you avoid it? I'm afraid the magic will hurt you."
Kieg smiled slightly, and said, "If your magic can't possibly hurt me, feel free to cast it." In his mind, at Dumb's age, he was no more than a junior magician at best.
Just as Ah-Dai was about to accept the magician level test, Feng Ping regretted it in the mercenary union, kept walking in the room, and said to himself: "I am so stupid! How could I let that boy Ah-Dai go away?" What? The death of a senior brother is a major event in the pie. Why do I have to go back and explain it first? Hey, I’m so stupid. No, I have to go back and report to the master immediately, otherwise, I will be held accountable in the future. It’s getting bigger. Dumb has been gone for a while, forget it, I don’t have time to look for him, I’d better go back to the camp and report.” Thinking of this, Feng Ping simply packed his luggage, explained a few words to his subordinates, and rode A fast horse galloped towards the city gate.
The back hall of the magic union.
Duan sang: "Fire elements that fill the world! Please give me the power to burn. In my name and with your power, appear, scorching flames." Two chirps, two dark blue flames It suddenly appeared in the palm of Dumb.
Kieg was taken aback. He was able to release blue flames, which proved that the magician who cast the spell had reached an intermediate level or above. He didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly chanted the spell and cast a water guard in front of him. As the spell was chanted, a layer of light blue ripples appeared in front of him, and the heat from Duan's fire technique was immediately blocked.
However, Duan’s magic didn’t end there. He slowly put his hands together towards the center, and sang loudly: “Let’s rise, ball of flame.” A small fireball of about three centimeters floated in the air, and a flash of light flashed in Duan's eyes, and a large blue fireball rushed towards Kieg overwhelmingly.
Kieg praised: "Okay, the powerful bolide, the guardian of water, in your name, borrow the water element of heaven and earth, condense it, - ice wall." A thick layer of white solid ice condensed.
"Pop, puff, plop..." The blue fireballs kept hitting the ice wall in front of Dumb, each of which left deep marks on the ice wall.
At first, Kieg thought that the Bolide, Dumb, was the power of a wave of attacks, but what he didn't expect was that there was an endless stream of fireballs, bombarding them endlessly. After a while, cracks appeared on the ice wall, and they began collapsed. In desperation, Kieg had no choice but to take two steps back and resorted to another ice wall.
It’s not that Dumb doesn’t want to stop the Fire Meteor, he’s extremely anxious, the magic power disappears quickly under the use of this intensity, and the ice wall in front of him blocks all his attacks, so he can only keep controlling the Fire Meteor to attack. In his mind, he had to break Kieg's defense to pass the test.
Duan successfully broke through two ice walls, and when Jiger cast the third ice wall, his magic power was finally exhausted, his face turned pale, and the blue flame in his hand gradually extinguished. His whole body went limp, and the strong sense of fatigue made him stop involuntarily, panting continuously. Dumb felt extremely sad, why? Why can't I even pass the elementary magic test
Kieg was even more surprised than him. Although Dumb's magic power was exhausted, it was not easy for him to resist. Of course, this had something to do with his defense.
Taking back the ice wall, Kieg walked up to Dumb and praised: "Young man, you are so good, you have such magical power at a young age, and your future is limitless! With your magical power, why don't you use even greater magic? Although Fire Meteor will increase with the increase in magic power, but he is only a junior-level magic after all, and he can't exert too much power."
Dumb lowered his head, and murmured: "I, I can only use Bolide, which is my best magic. I, I'm going first." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked out.
Kieg hurriedly stopped him, and said in surprise: "You haven't received the badge and monthly salary of the magician yet, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Duan was taken aback, pointed to his nose and said, "Can I receive a magic badge if I fail the test?"
It was only then that Kieg realized that the talented fool in front of him thought he had failed the test, smiled slightly, and said, "Son, your performance is already very good. With your magic level, you have completely reached the level of an intermediate magician." To a certain extent, if you know a little bit more magic, maybe you can even reach the realm of a senior magician. After you go back, ask your teacher for more advice. I hope that you can pass the review of a senior magician when you come to the test next time. .Children, at your age, except for the priests, there are very few people who have reached such a level."
Dumb was overjoyed, and said, "You mean, I have passed the certification of a junior magician?"
Kieg said: "No, you have passed the certification of an intermediate magician. Wait a minute, I will get the registration form, and after registering for you, you will officially become an intermediate magician."
"Thank you, thank you, Uncle Kiger."
Kieg frowned and said, "Don't call me uncle in the future, call me the great magician of Kieg."
After passing the magic test, Dumb was overjoyed. He finally fulfilled one of Owen's wishes. Excitedly said: "Yes, yes, thank you, Great Mage Kig."
Kieg turned slightly, walked to the back wall, and chanted a few short spells. A blue halo flashed, and a small door appeared. Under Dumb's surprised gaze, Kieg opened the door and walked in.
Duan thought enviously, the magic level of the great magician Kig is really advanced! I don't know if Teacher Corris has this kind of strength. When I return to the teacher, I must learn magic from him. In Dumb's heart, he was more interested in gorgeous magic than boring martial arts practice.
Just as he was thinking, the door from the back hall leading to the front lobby suddenly opened, and the old magician ran in with a panicked face. He glanced at Dumb and asked, "Young man, where is the branch president?"
Dumb replied honestly: "He said I passed the test and went to pick up the form."
The old magician was stunned for a moment, and said with some jealousy: "I didn't expect you to pass the test. You are not practical when you are young. You learn martial arts and magic at the same time. Be careful that you don't learn anything well in the end."
Dumb nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my uncle told me that before, thank you for your teaching."
Dumb's politeness made the old magician a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said nothing.
"Why is it so slow! Is the efficiency of your magician's union so low?" A clear voice like a silver bell came from the direction of the lobby.
When the door opened, Ah-Dai felt his eyes light up, as if the entire back hall lit up because of this person who came in. It was a little girl who looked fourteen or five years old, standing there like an angel, with long light blue hair and two braids on her head, about 1.6 meters tall, and a white dress that was spotless. Ran, with two shallow dimples hanging on her fair face, a pair of bright blue eyes that look very attractive, a thin layer of anger is shining on her face, one hand is on Xiaoman's waist, and the other is waving A small magic wand, only one foot long, looked at the old magician dissatisfied. The magic wand couldn't see the shape clearly because of her waving, but Duan vaguely felt that it was definitely not an ordinary wand. The most peculiar thing was that there was a faint sacred aura on the young girl, which made her look like a fairy.
Dumb's eyes were completely straightened, when had he seen such a beautiful and refined beauty! Compared with her, Xi Fei is like Yinghuozhi and Haoyue. His straight gaze was immediately noticed by the girl, who snorted angrily, pointed her stick at Dumb's nose, and said, "Stupid boy, what are you looking at? You've never seen a beautiful woman before!"
Dumb lowered his head with his face blushing, thinking to himself, although this girl is very pretty, but she has too bad temper, much worse than Xi Fei, she is the best for her.
The old magician apologized and said with a smile: "Grandma, you should wait in front, the branch leader has gone to pick up things, and he will be back soon."
The girl pursed her lips and said, "No, I'll just wait for him here, quickly find him, your efficiency is too slow, if it wasn't for Miss Ben waiting to spend money, you wouldn't come to this ghostly place Woolen cloth."
At this moment, Kieg finally came out from the door on the wall, holding a bunch of things in his hands, he couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the situation in front of him, looked at the angry girl, and said to the old magician: "Mr. Huang, what's going on?"
Seeing Kieg, the old magician was obviously relieved, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what day it is today. Usually, there is usually not one person who comes to the magic test for a month, but today two came here at once. No, this lady is going to take a magic test too. Come on, I'm going to the front." After speaking, she hurried out.
Kieg handed the things in his hands to Dumb, and said, "Young man, you just have to wait a bit now, and I will register you after I finish testing this girl."
