From the Doyle clan to their destination, just this process took them half a month.
On the way, Chen Heng continued to Meditate, and he would occasionally discuss with Mike and ask some general questions.
Time gradually passed.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
In front of a spacious port.
There were many people gathered here.
They were all figures wearing black robes, and even their faces were covered by masks. They were busying about, not saying anything and just silently doing what they were doing.
Looking at these people, Chen Heng felt quite surprised, and he sensed a strange feeling from them.
By now, after using the Basic Meditation Technique, he had developed some habits of this world's Sorcerers.
For example, he was used to using his mental energy to check a person's condition.
Every normal life would have mental strength, and the flow of every thought would cause the undulation of mental strength, causing the fluctuation of mental strength.
From these fluctuations, Wizards could clearly understand some things, some information, and even a person's current state.
However, these black-robed people's mental states were quite strange.
Chen Heng could sense that these black-robed people indeed had mental energy, but compared to ordinary people, their mental energy was very weak, and their mental ripples were almost non-existent.
This was quite strange.
If a person was like this, they were most likely not in a normal state.
Even if a person was asleep, their mental energy would continuously ripple, much more intensely than these black-robed people.
"These are all puppets."
Looking at Chen Heng's expression, Mike seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled as he explained, "These people are things that the school's Sorcerers created to make things more convenient.
They're very obedient and useful, but it's a bit troublesome to create. "
Chen Heng nodded and thought to himself.
Even though Mike did not say much, he knew this.
Even though Mike did not say much, he knew.
The process of creating these puppets definitely would not be very good.
The raw materials were most likely living people, or else they would not be able to maintain their mental energy ripples after being made into puppets.
However, after staying with Griffin for half a year, Chen Heng had become used to this.
Right now, he was more concerned about something else.
"How is the intelligence of these puppets? What about maintenance and usage? "
Looking at Mike, he asked.
Hearing Chen Heng's words, Michael felt quite surprised but did not mind too much. He only smiled and said, "Their intelligence is not very high. Because we have to suppress their resistance, their intelligence is not very high and they do not have the ability to think independently.
"However, they can basically understand regular orders. Even if it's something difficult, they can still do it."
"As for the duration, it should be quite long."
He thought for a moment, then said, "The duration of use depends on how you use it."
"These puppets use living people as raw materials and retain the vitality of their original bodies, so their lifespan will largely determine how you use them."
"However, if they use it lightly, they can generally use it until the end of their lifespan."
"As for the losses."
At this point, he shrugged. "They need whatever an ordinary person needs."
"After all, it's just a basic transformation. It's not powerful enough to make them violate the normal biological rules."
"The main benefit of this transformation is that it's obedient."
He said, "Many times, it's too troublesome for us to use ordinary people. Not only do they have all sorts of thoughts, but they are also unable to endure some special things.
"These puppets are much better. As long as you have the corresponding command incantations, even if you want them to die, it's just a matter of saying a word."
"Also, they're not as troublesome as ordinary people."
As he spoke, he continuously introduced Chen Heng to Chen Heng.
Soon, they had arrived at the port.
There were already some people around the port, but there was still some time before the time was up.
As such, he looked around before continuing to explain to Chen Heng, "Come to think of it, these puppets are widely used in the academy. If you're willing, you can buy a few in the future; they're quite cheap.
"In fact, if you're good at puppetry, it'll be quite easy for you to make them yourself."
Speaking to there, he shrugged and said half-jokingly, "After all, the materials are quite simple; they're just ordinary people; they can be found everywhere outside.
"Whether it's buying them or catching them yourself, it'll be quite easy."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face.
Hearing these words, Chen Heng did not reply and only silently nodded.
Following this, time gradually passed.
Not long after, another person walked down from the huge ship at the side.
"Mike, you're back?"
A calm voice sounded out in the distance.
Hearing this voice, Chen Heng looked over.
In the distance, a somewhat skinny figure walked over.
The figure wore a black robe, and there was a strange mark on it. He looked quite withered and withered, looking like a skeleton.
His face was also like this, only a layer of skin and bones. His expression was cold and terrifying as he walked over.
"Ordo, you're finally willing to come out."
Looking at the black-robed man walking over, Mike smiled and said.
"This is Griffin's grandson?"
The man called Ordo turned and ignored Michael as he looked at Chen Heng.
His gaze was incredibly cold, like a knife, and it gave off a terrifying feeling.
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he looked at him and respectfully bowed, "Greetings, Mr. Ordo.
"I'm Ed Doyle."
"That old fellow Griffin's grandson is not bad."
Looking at Chen Heng and sensing his massive mental energy, Ordo nodded.
"Of course not bad."
Mike's voice sounded out, "This child's mental energy is abnormally powerful; I hope he won't give you a big fright when the time comes."
"Is that so?"
Mike's voice was still cold, but his mind seemed to ripple as he said, "Then I'll be looking forward to it."
Chen Heng calmly stood there with a calm expression on his face. He stood in front of Mike and Ordo, silently listening to their conversation.
At this time, he also looked around, looking at other places.
In front of him was a spacious port.
Not too far away, there was a wooden ship that gave off a strange light. There was a massive gray mark on it, which was similar to the mark on Mike and Ordo's clothes.
On the other side, some people also arrived one after another.
Just like Chen Heng, they had been brought here, and they were all quite young.
Chen Heng looked around.
Out of these people, the oldest was only 17 or 18 years old, while the youngest was even younger than Chen Heng.
It seemed that when Sorcerers chose Apprentices, they tended to prefer the younger ones.
These people would most likely be Chen Heng's competitors and classmates in the future.
Standing there, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Before he came here, Griffin had told him the purpose of this trip.
The ship in the distance belonged to the Hunter's House, and its goal was to recruit students from this continent.
Mike and Ordo were the ones in charge of this.
As for Chen Heng and the others in the distance, they were most likely the students preparing to enter the Hunter's House.
After arriving here, they would undergo a test to determine their ranks.
This was to determine their grades and also for their future education.
After all, allowing students of different levels to receive the same education was bound to produce an unfair result for a group of people.
The better their results, the more importance they would receive in the future.
This was how Chen Heng understood it.
"I just don't know how many students have come to take the test this time."
Looking around, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Time gradually passed.
After a while, there were more and more people around him.
Sensing this situation, Mike looked around.
"Looks like it's about time."
He looked around and said softly.
"Is everyone here?"
Ordo nodded and said, "Then let's begin.
The earlier we start, the earlier we can finish. "
Following this, he thought to himself.
By the side, a black-robed person silently walked away and went to give out orders.
As the orders were given, the place once again became lively.
The young children separated from their elders and went to their own places.
"Go."
An elder patted the boy's shoulder with a serious expression, "You are the pride of our family.
I've already told you everything you need to know. "
On the other side, an elderly woman looked at her granddaughter and said seriously, "After entering the Hunter's House, make sure to be careful."
In various places, their respective elders were instructing their own clan's younger generation, and then with encouragement, they walked to the front.
In front of them, the children quickly stood aside.
Chen Heng glanced over them.
"A total of 27 people?"
He did a quick count and came to this conclusion.
Twenty-seven people. Including himself, that would be twenty-eight people.
This was not a large number.
At that moment, Chen Heng realized that he was different.
It seemed that Griffin's connections were quite strong.
This could be seen from the fact that he was resting next to Mike and the others, instead of standing in line like everyone else.
Even though it was just a small detail, it represented the difference in treatment.
"You can take the test at the end."
Looking at Chen Heng, Mike smiled and said, "Before then, just watch."
Chen Heng silently nodded and did not say anything else.
Following this, he stood there and looked at Mike's actions.
As he watched on, Mike took out a large pile of things and set them up.
"How troublesome …"
They worked seriously, drawing some mysterious and unique runes as they grumbled, "Every time we come to recruit students, we have to draw this Sorcerer Formation, which costs so many magic stones.
"If it wasn't like that, why would we have to come?"
Ordo replied, his voice still as cold as before, "Wouldn't it have been fine if we just sent two Apprentices?"
"That's true."
Mike nodded as he continued to work.
Chen Heng looked at their actions seriously.
"It's similar to basic runes, but there are also big differences."
He thought to himself and felt a bit interested, "Are these the runes of this world?"
Back in the Azure Heaven Realm, while he was a True Lord, Chen Heng was also a powerful Blacksmith and was proficient in many of the runes of the Azure Heaven Realm.
In his eyes, the runes that Mike and Ordo were drawing were quite similar to the runes of the Azure Heaven Realm.
They seemed to have similar effects and could do similar things.
"So it's like that."
Chen Heng's past experiences had helped him.
The Sorcerer Formation that Mike and Ordo were drawing was incredibly complicated, and there were countless runes. Ordinary people would feel their scalps go numb just by looking at it, and they would not be able to understand the logic behind it.
However, Chen Heng could see it clearly and even understand some of it.
In this aspect, he had a massive advantage.
Even though he could not directly bring his power from other worlds to this world, he had a lot more experience than others and would be of great help when trying out new domains.
This was just like this.
With the experience of being a Blacksmith's disciple in the Azure Heaven Realm, Chen Heng felt much more at ease looking at this world's Sorcerer Formations.
After all, no matter if it was the Azure Heaven Realm's runes or the Sorcerer World's Sorcerer Formations, they were all similar.
As long as he could adapt to the differences in the laws, he would be able to quickly convert his past experiences and use them in this world.
As Chen Heng watched on, the Sorcerer Formation gradually took shape.
Following this, Mike took out some magic stones.
The Magic Stone was black and looked like some kind of black jade. It was very special.
Chen Heng had seen some similar magic stones in Griffin's hands before, but he had never seen so many of them.
Just the number of magic stones that Mike and Ordo had taken out was already over 50.
"Every test requires so many magic stones; it's quite sad."
Looking at the Magic Stones in his hand, Mike shook his head and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
"These aren't your magic stones, so why are you so pained?"
Ordo's voice sounded out as he coldly laughed, "If you have the time to sigh, why don't you get busy?
Once we're done, let's go back early. "
They continued to talk, chatting as they worked.
However, from their conversation, Chen Heng learned many things.
"So it's like that."
Chen Heng thought to himself, "For an academy, recruiting new blood is incredibly important, and this is no exception for Sorcerer academies.
It's just that compared to ordinary people, Sorcerer academies' cost of recruiting students is simply too high. "
Different from ordinary people's academies, Sorcerer academies had a natural requirement: they had to have enough Sorcerer talent.
As such, if they wanted to recruit students, they had to go through a basic test.
This created a huge cost.
From Mike and Ordo's situation, this test not only required two Sorcerer Formation Apprentices who were quite skilled in Sorcerer Formations, but it also required a large number of magic stones.
As a result, every test had a high cost.
Perhaps this was the reason why Sorcerer academies did not often recruit students.
Otherwise, perhaps the cost of a single test would not be much to a Sorcerer school, but if it was done too many times, the results would be terrible.
At that moment, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Ahead, as Mike and Ordo worked, the Sorcerer Formation was officially activated.
A hazy radiance shrouded the white stone slab.
Seeing this, Mike and Ordo inwardly let out sighs of relief before looking into the distance.
"Alright."
He turned and looked at the neatly lined up people, "You can begin now.
Come here one by one. "
He spoke calmly as his voice became calm again.
Ahead, a boy did not hesitate and immediately walked forwards.
Not long after, he walked up to the stone slab.
The stone slab immediately started to move.
A hazy light flashed, covering the boy's entire body, making his figure seem hazy.
Following this, Chen Heng saw that the two needles in front of the stone slab started to change.
The needles were specially made and looked like they were made from some special material. They were completely golden and looked quite special.
However, as if they were guided by some special energy, the needle continuously spun and slowly moved forwards.
In the end, the needle barely managed to crawl, but it only managed to crawl up one grid.
"Level 1."
Mike's calm voice sounded out as he wrote it down on a piece of yellow paper.
This was the final grade.
According to what Griffin had told Chen Heng, Level 1 was the lowest for a Sorcerer, and the higher one went, the better it would be.
Only those with high grade would be able to walk the path of a Sorcerer more smoothly.
As for those with low grade, being able to become an Apprentice was already quite good.
If the boy in front of him only had rank 1 aptitude, it would be difficult for him to even become an acolyte in the future. Becoming an official Magus would be an almost impossible task.
However, the test was not over yet.
The Sorcerer test was split into two parts: one was to test one's grade, while the other was to test one's mental energy.
For a Sorcerer's cultivation, mental energy and Sorcerer talent were both essential.
Mental energy determined a Sorcerer's foundation, while Sorcerer talent determined how one gathered magic power and became a true Sorcerer.
This boy's Sorcerer talent was quite bad, but if his innate mental energy was strong enough, he might have a chance in the future.
