Outside the castle's dungeon, Du Wei met his first female Knight, Ruo Lin. Since coming to the castle, Ruo Lin took the initiative to guard the magician.
Ruo Lin did this because the magician was once her companion. Although she was loyal to Du Wei, she still had to consider some old friendship. Although this Magician had been attracted by her beauty, and they had only been working for a few days, she had never thought that this Magician would be here. Although Ruo Lin did not dare to go against Du Wei's wishes and secretly let this guy go, but personally watching over him, at least she could take care of this former companion to the best of her ability. It could also be considered a bit of friendship.
At least after arriving here last night, the magician was able to eat a full meal under the care of Ruo Lin. Although he was still not allowed to sleep, and meditation was also absolutely not allowed. Ruo Lin's two retainers, the bull-like warrior and the archer, took turns to watch over the magician, not giving him a chance to recover his magic.
When Du Wei arrived at the dungeon, he was somewhat unaccustomed to the damp and gloomy smell of the dungeon.
But Ruo Lin, who had changed into Knight's attire, made Du Wei's eyes light up! This long-legged girl originally had a charming and seductive face, but now she probably made some changes to her attire. Her hair was cut short, her forehead was tied with a ribbon, and her eyebrows were also trimmed. This reduced some of her charm, but added some heroic spirit.
Especially after wearing the Knight's attire, her whole person looked a lot more dignified. Although she did not wear the original short skirt, her pair of plump and beautiful long legs were no longer exposed. However, she was equipped with a slender sword, coupled with the light Knight's breastplate on her upper body, it was quite a bit like the Knight's posture.
"Respected master," Seeing Du Wei enter the dungeon, Ruo Lin immediately greeted him: "You are …"
"I'm here to see my captive." Du Wei's face was very cold. He was in a bad mood. He glanced at Ruo Lin. "Have you been guarding here all night?"
Ruo Lin's face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Master, this guy inside is my former companion after all, I think …"
"Plead for mercy?" Du Wei shook his head. "That's not necessary. I don't want to make things difficult for him. As long as he answers a few of my questions, I'll let him go immediately."
With that, Du-Wei walked past Rolynn's side and left behind a sentence: "I want to talk to him alone. All of you wait outside and don't come in."
The room where the magician was locked up was originally the largest in the castle's dungeon. When Du Wei came in, the magician's face was already pale and his eyes were almost unable to open.
Although a mage's mental strength was strong, he had exhausted a lot of his mental strength during the battle in the tavern. After being captured, he didn't have the chance to meditate and recover his mental strength. On the other hand, he couldn't sleep for the past two days. At this moment, he couldn't hold on any longer.
After being locked up in this dungeon for the whole night, every time he closed his eyes, a bucket of cold water would immediately pour down on him. Although Ruo Lin was polite to him, Ruo Lin's two subordinates were not polite at all.
Originally, in the small adventurer team, the Bull Warrior and the Archer were very displeased with the magician because he was attracted by Ruo Lin's beauty. Therefore, the Bull Warrior and the Archer were often despised by the Bull Warrior and the Archer. The relationship between them had always been bad.
At this moment, seeing this small noble walk into the dungeon room, the magician felt that he was about to collapse. There weren't any chains on his body. After all, a magician who had lost his magic was not as strong as a normal person. It was just that the dungeon was gloomy and damp. He didn't know how many buckets of water had been poured on him. It was so cold that his lips were pale. When Du Wei walked in, the magician was hugging his knees and sitting on a stone bed. The Bull Warrior next to him was still shouting: "Hey, don't close your eyes! Otherwise, I'll pour water on you again! Just this night, just to fetch water, I've made so many trips! "
Just as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Du Wei come in. He immediately shut his mouth. Du Wei waved his hand, indicating that he should leave. Then, he walked in front of the magician: "How is it? Respected Mr. Magician. Is everything okay here? "
Okay? Do I look like I'm "okay"? The magician cursed in his heart, but his face showed a pleading expression: "Sir, you're a noble, why must you make things difficult for me? You're the eldest son of the Earl of the Rowling family. If word gets out that you treat a magician so badly, then in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your family to make friends with magicians! "
You still want to threaten me?
Du Wei pursed his lips: "Oh, is that so? Then if word gets out that a small first-level magician has mastered the instantaneous spell, then what will the consequences be? "
The magician's face was pale, and his eyes showed a trace of fear.
Consequences?
The consequences were very simple! If other magicians knew about this, then very soon, he would become the common prey of all magicians on the continent! Any magician would be eager to learn the instantaneous spell, this kind of top-notch skill! And when a small first-level magician could master this kind of skill … Was there a need to ask the consequences?
It was like a three year old child, completely defenseless, but with a huge sum of money on him!
"Say it." Du Wei smiled: "Actually, I know that your so-called instantaneous spell is not the real instantaneous spell. You must have used some kind of opportunistic method to do this, right? I'm not a magician, so even if you tell me, you won't lose anything. I just want to satisfy my curiosity. "
The magician lowered his head, and his face showed a trace of struggle.
"What's there to hesitate about?" Du Wei sighed: "You're just a first-level magician. Although magicians are rare and respected in this world, it's only limited to mid-level magicians and above. You're just a low-level first-level magician. Even if I kill you here, or lock you up here for the rest of your life, I'm afraid no one will care. Even if it's the Magic Association, they wouldn't offend a great noble for the sake of an unremarkable and lowly first-rank mage, right? "
"You …" The magician's eyes finally loosened, and his psychological defenses began to collapse. He bit his lips with difficulty: "You … If I tell you, you must swear not to tell anyone. Because … This concerns my identity as a magician! "
"Of course, of course." Du Wei immediately raised his hand and made an oath: "I, Du Wei Rollin, swear here, that everything you tell me today, I will remember it in my heart, and will not tell anyone else. Otherwise, let the Goddess of Light punish me! "
"…" The magician's expression was somewhat complicated. His eyes showed a trace of guilt, and then his lips squirmed a few times: "I … Actually, I'm just an apprentice magician."
"… What?" Du Wei stared blankly for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"I …" The magician seemed to spend a lot of effort to say: "I said, I'm just an apprentice magician. My real magic strength is only at the level of an apprentice magician. As for my qualification as a magus of the first rank, I obtained it by cheating. "
"Cheating?" Du Wei's heart began to waver!
Cheating the qualification of a magician?
According to what Du Wei knew, the continent's magic society's examination was not easy to pass through with tricks! If the qualification of a magician could be easily cheated, then wouldn't it be a joke?
"I started learning magic when I was young. My master was a low-level magician. He thought I had magic talent and took me in as his disciple. When I was thirteen, I obtained the qualification of a magician's apprentice … This was not difficult." The magician's tone was somewhat bitter: "There are only a few hundred real magicians on the continent, but those who have the qualification of a magician's apprentice number in the thousands. Unfortunately, the road to becoming a real magician is too difficult. The majority of magician's apprentices, even if they work hard for their whole lives, will not be able to pass the first level examination. They can only stay at the level of a magician's apprentice for their whole life. And I … am one of these pitiful creatures. "
"Every magician will take in a few disciples, but the magician himself is also clear that among these disciples, not all of them can become magicians, and it is very likely that they will not be able to teach a magician disciple in their whole life. But every magician on the continent will still take in many disciples. Because … people with the status of a magician are so noble and revered. How could such a person not have an entourage? Therefore, every magician will have a different number of magician's apprentices by his side. These apprentices, most of them have a longing for magic, but in the end, only a very small number of them are able to realize their dreams. The most hateful thing is that there are many magicians, they clearly know that these magician's apprentices have no possibility of becoming magicians, but they do not tell them … Because magicians need obedient disciples by their side, someone to help them with their magic experiments, someone to help them, be their assistant, or even be their servant … Moreover, these servants do not cost them a single gold coin!
This is what I experienced. When I was thirteen, I met my master. He told me that I had talent, then took me away from home, saying that he would teach me to become an outstanding magician. I followed him with boundless longing, unfortunately … Later on, I found out that this was simply an impossible dream. My master had more than ten disciples, and all of them passed the magician's apprentice examination. Master only used us as free servants, free assistants.
He would still use false lies to deceive us, but he clearly knew that among these disciples, many of them would never be able to become magicians. He knew! But he just did not say it!
I was a magician's apprentice for ten years, and finally found out that I did not have talent in this area. Indeed, since young, my mental strength was a little stronger than ordinary people, and I could also sense a little bit of the power of nature … But this was already the limit. My talent was limited.
Later on, I had no choice … .So … .Studied magic potions. "
Magic potions?
Du Wei's eyes lit up!
This guy's experience was very similar to his own!
Only, he could not even pass the lowest level magician's apprentice examination … Du Wei bitterly smiled in his heart.
In fact, even Du Wei himself did not know that the situation was not what he thought it was.
Magicians were a strange group. Most magicians were reclusive and proud, and they saw themselves as people who stood above all living things. They were people who could call the wind and summon the rain, people who could borrow the power of the gods. The so-called living things, in the eyes of most magicians, were just ants that could be casually used.
Many magician's apprentices, in fact, did not even have the talent for magic as good as Du Wei! But magicians needed followers. Although magicians had money, they could not spend money to recruit servants like ordinary nobles. What kind of nonsense was that!
As a sacred magician, as a mysterious magician, the servants by his side naturally had to have the status of a magician's apprentice! How could they use ordinary people, wouldn't that be too degrading?
However, people who had magic talent were in the minority after all. So most magicians, in order to have a few magician's apprentices by their side, did not hesitate to lower their standards to recruit them! Obviously, some people who did not have enough talent, even if they were just a little bit stronger than ordinary people, would be taken in by magicians with the temptation of "teaching you to become a magician".
After that ….. these people who did not have enough talent to become magicians, could only wait to be cheap labor for the teachers for the rest of their lives!
This kind of situation caused the magician's apprentice examination on the continent to be very chaotic! The standard was also uneven.
However, the last time in the imperial capital, Du Wei went through the examination according to the real strict standards! Because ….. that Krak Mage did not dare to deceive the second-in-command of the imperial military, the eldest son of the head of the Rowling family!
Because of Du Wei's identity, the Krak Mage did not dare to trick him into being cheap labor.
Otherwise, if Du Wei was an ordinary person ….. then that day, when the Krak Mage saw that Du Wei had a spiritual force that surpassed ordinary people, he would have already taken Du Wei in!
Even if he knew that Du Wei did not have any talent for magic, Clark would still take him in as a disciple! Because, with an outstanding magician's apprentice by his side, it would be a lot more convenient for him to do magic experiments in the future.
In fact, many magicians on the continent did this. If Du Wei was not the eldest son of the Earl, perhaps he would have also been deceived and then have a beautiful dream of becoming a magician, working as a cheap magician's labor, wasting his life and delaying his future.
"That was a very accidental situation, I learned of a fact: My teacher actually already knew that it was impossible for me to become a magician." This captive's voice had a trace of bitterness: "Even when he took me away from home, he was already very clear about this! Only, he saw that my talent for magic was not bad and felt that with a free servant like me by his side, it would be more convenient for him to do magic experiments in the future. Many of my teacher's disciples were like me, some of them had strong magic, some of them had good perception. But they all had major flaws and were left by my teacher's side because of a fabricated dream, wasting their lives! "
"….. And then?" Du Wei sighed.
"Just like I said ….. After I learned the truth, at first, I was very angry, then ….. I decided to change my fate. Since I was unable to learn real magic, then ….. I decided to study magic potions. " The captive magician sighed: "Because magic potions masters are also a type of magician recognized by the magic society. Although ….. this point of view is laughable to most people, although most people think that magic potions masters can't be considered real magicians. "
"….. And then?" Du Wei felt his heart start to beat faster!
Could it be ….. this guy …..
He was the same as him, he had no talent for magic! But now he had become a magician! Moreover, in the tavern, he was really using magic!
Since he, a person without talent, in the end used some unknown method to learn magic ….. then, as long as he could tell how he did it ….. then, maybe he could also do it!
If he could find a way to learn magic, then …..
The astrology left behind by Saimel in the secret room in the castle, the Star Magic that Saimel researched in her lifetime, wouldn't he be able to learn it?!
"Can one become a magician just by being proficient in magic potions?" Du Wei looked at this captive: "But according to what I know, the magic society's qualification test for magic potions masters is completely different from that for other magicians."
On the continent, real magicians were divided into ten levels. The difficulty of the test increased a lot with each level! Therefore, the higher the level of a magician, the more powerful they were.
However, although the test for magic potions masters was called "also a type of magician", it was much simpler.
It was so simple that it made people feel that it was very perfunctory!
The test for magic potions masters didn't have levels!
Just level one!
As long as you passed the test! You were a magic potion master! Then the magic society would also issue you a badge, this badge symbolized the official recognition of you as a magician.
Although, most people didn't approve of this recognition.
Moreover, even the badges issued by the Society of Magic carried a certain degree of "differential treatment"!
Magic potions masters were issued with a round bronze badge, the workmanship was very simple, and ….. there were no magic anti-counterfeiting spells.
Perhaps, the magic society itself also knew that most people wouldn't be interested in pretending to be a profession that not many people thought highly of.
A magic potion master, commonly known as a poison master, had a social status that wasn't even as high as an ordinary doctor.
And a real magician, even a level one magician, had a silver badge! A level one magician had a silver leaf badge.
Of course, Du Wei wouldn't forget that in the fierce battle in the tavern, he seized a genuine silver leaf badge from this magician captive!
In other words, what he passed wasn't a magic potion master's test! It was a real magician's test!!
How did he do it?
Learning magic originally seemed to be a shattered dream. At this moment, hope welled up in Du Wei's heart again!
"My talent is outstanding in magic, my innate mental strength is a bit stronger than ordinary people. If it was an ordinary person, it would just show that their mental strength is a bit more than ordinary people, they don't get tired easily, etc ….. But I lack sensitivity. No matter how much I meditated, no matter how hard I tried, at the very beginning, I couldn't sense even a trace of the power of nature. " This captive slowly said, "Later, after I studied magic potions for ten years, I suddenly had a question ….. What is this so-called power of nature? My teacher told me that it is everything! Everything in this world! It was the wind, the fire, the water, even if it was the slightest bit. But this statement is still too vague. A thought popped up in my mind ….. If I can understand what this so-called 'power of nature' is, then maybe I still have hope. "
Du Wei listened quietly, at the same time carefully pondering this guy's words.
"For example, fire magic. Magicians can draw support from the fire element in the natural world through incantations, and then use magic to create flames! And in magic potions, there are also more than ten ways to use potions to create flames! For example, the simplest way ….. "At this point, the magician captive glanced at Du Wei," Can you understand what I'm saying? "
"Please continue, I can understand." Du Wei smiled faintly, "I've also read some books on magic potions."
"Alright." The magician continued, "In magic potions, there are more than ten ways to achieve the same basic principle as fire magic ….. Create fire! For example, the most basic way, you can use a type of Firescale Grass to grind the powder to be able to burn on its own! Then I'm thinking ….. Firescale Grass can create fire, and so can a magician's fire magic. Could it be ….. Firescale Grass contains the so-called magic element of the power of nature? Or is it that there's something in Firescale Grass that's fire magic element? "
Du Wei's heart stirred, as if he'd thought of something, but he couldn't quite grasp it for the time being.
He heard the magician captive continue, "I've discovered another subtle thing. All magic spells! I mean all of them! Although the power of incantations varies, some are weak, some are strong. Take fire magic as an example, the simplest fireball spell, and the legendary 'Raging Inferno' that can destroy the heavens and earth! Although the difference in power is countless times, in fact, the principle is the same! Both use fire to burn! But ….. here's the subtle thing ….. Everything that can be done by magic potions can also be done by magic potions! For example, fire magic. Although potions can't create a large-scale, powerful forbidden-level power like 'Raging Inferno', the principle of creating fire is the same! Then there's wind magic, water magic, and so on ….. All types of magic can be done by potions! Although it can only achieve the simplest basic principle, it can be done! Why is that? Maybe ….. I'm thinking, maybe, those precious raw materials of potions actually contain the so-called 'magic element' of all types of magic! Isn't that so? "
The captive's face showed a trace of pride, "Since I can't use meditation to extract the magic element in nature ….. then, I'll use the methods of potions to extract the magic element from potions!!"
