Mage Adam

Chapter 10: About To Leave

“…What is the value of this question, and you still need to look at your choice. Now Miss Ophelia can test it first.”

Ophelia stepped forward with excitement and pressed her hands on the crystal ball with anticipation. Although he couldn’t keep up with Adam’s speed, it was faster than Kristel. It is strange that others including Adam were in The fillings in the inner crystal ball are almost white, but Ophelia’s crystal ball is black and red.

Ophelia didn’t understand the meaning of the color of the crystal ball. She just wanted to know what her mage tendency was, but the crystal ball did not respond after filling it up.

Ophelia was a little panicked, and pressed hard against the crystal ball again, but there was still no light coming out, her face pale involuntarily, “Is my qualifications very bad?”

“Oh, Miss Ophelia.” Mage Black waved gently, and a breeze appeared and bounced Ophelia away. Although the crystal ball was magical, it was just a simple alchemy product after all, and could not stand the full ravages of a great knight.

Ophelia stood bewildered and watched Master Black begging with a full face: “Respected Master Black, I think I can try it once, it shouldn’t be like this…”

Mage Black motioned to her to stay calm, and then said: “Dont panic Miss Ophelia. I said that there are many ways for a mage. There are some mages who tend not to make the crystal ball glow, but this does not mean that they are qualified. low.”

Then he turned his head and asked Earl Johnson: “Earl, do you need my answer? This answer is worth two-fifths of the income of a small energy mine.”

“Of course, Master Black.”

Adam wrote down the words of Mage Black. Although there is only this sample in front of him, there may be errors in judgment based on this. But if Mage Black is not particularly upright, this situation shows that the wizards are adhering to the principle of fair trade.

If the judgment is established, it is undoubtedly a good thing, which shows that the world of wizards has broken away from the original jungle law and has evolved to the stage of civilization.

After the deal was established, Mage Black said in detail: “Most wizards’ souls, including me, tend to be elemental, but elements are not all of the path of the wizard. Miss Ophelia has a different talent from elemental magic. Mage We call this path the Master of Body Refining.”

“Elemental mage pursues the sublimation of the soul. We engrave knowledge into the soul. The body is the carrier that carries the soul. It passively evolves as the soul strengthens. Unlike the body-refining mage, although they also need knowledge, they apply knowledge to the body. In terms of development, it pursues the evolution of the essence of life, and the strength of the body drives the sublimation of the soul.”

“Moreover, Miss Ophelia has a strong talent in this area. Because of the clear path, the body refiner has no bottleneck in the process from the apprentice stage to the first-level mage stage, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. The opposite is The body-refining mage needs a huge amount of resources…” Mage Black paused, as if he was surprised at what he thought of, “At a high level, even the resources of the entire plane are not enough for one person to consume.”

Adam understands that this is the advanced version of the path of the knight, but there is a problem. The body tissue of carbon-based life cannot carry such a large amount of energy. How does the body refiner do it?

As a strong man who has reached the pinnacle of knights, Earl Johnson also understands this problem, but the reason why a mage is a mage is because the knowledge they have can do incredible things, so he did not entangle this, but asked: “Respected Mage Black, what are the resources? Energy veins?”

Mage Black said: “Oh, let me tell you this question for free. The energy stone is the lowest-level resource available to the mage, and its value is not as high as you think. After the body-refining mage reaches the high level, it needs it. It is the body tissues of a large number of high-level ectopic creatures, and, well, this is too far away for you.”

Mage Blacks explanation stayed here and said to the apprentices: “You have one night to pack your bags and bid farewell to your family. After breakfast tomorrow morning, we will set off to Moldo College.”

Earl Johnson motioned to Ophelia to wait for him to return, while he himself directed the wizard to leave and rest.

Several new apprentices of the mage greeted each other as they walked. The three male apprentices were named Mike Gust, Henry Hugh, and Sam Aiden. They were all from aristocratic families, and Costrell, like Adam, had no surname. .

They are all very curious about Adam. There is no way. They have never heard of such a descendant of the No. 1 nobleman in the North, and Master Black made it clear that Adams talent is the highest among all people, and the noble instinct allows them to make everything they can make , Even if you can’t be a companion, don’t be an enemy.

“My name is Adam.” Adam’s expression is still expressionless, but the courtesy is in place, which doesn’t seem arrogant. Sophistication and even aristocratic etiquette are a procedural matter for Adam. He cannot be deliberately maverick in this respect. It does not show uniqueness, but only proves stupidity.

Several people are waiting for Adam to say his surname and become apprentices of the mage. They already have a special relationship. The family can cooperate on this matter, but…

“Common people, no surname.”

The impeccable smiles on the faces of the three male apprentices stiffened, civilians? It was an accident that Kristel was able to participate in the test. This accident happened for the second time? Has Earl Johnson changed his career to charity?

Krystal had a big smile on his face. Although her identity suddenly changed, the habit she had developed over the past ten years made her instinctively fear the nobles. Adam’s same commoner status as her made her feel close.

is also because of habit. Even if the descendants of the three nobles are still smiling, the sense of closeness disappears. Fortunately, they are not stupid, and they did not show their disdain and contempt in person.

came to the fork, Adam stopped and said goodbye, Kristel did not respond, and also left, she wanted to go home to share today’s good news with her parents and brother, and share the last reunion.

It was the other three people who were surprised again. Can a commoner live in the City Lords Mansion? And the direction Adam left was toward the inner palace, and the servant obviously couldn’t live in the inner palace.

After the three of them looked at each other, they found that everyone else had the same doubts as themselves, and they all decided to go home and ask their father carefully, not to offend someone who shouldn’t be offended because of their arrogance.

Adam returned to his residence to continue his work of optimizing the mental power rune. At the same time, in the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Earl Johnson was having an awkward conversation with Ophelia.

“First of all congratulations on your becoming an apprentice to the wizard. I look forward to calling you Mage Ophelia Johnson in my lifetime.”

“Johnson.” Ophelia laughed at herself and then went silent. This family always has the strange ability to make her good mood disappear.

Earl Johnson doesn’t care. Frozen three feet is not a day’s cold. There may not be a word in this world, but the truth is the same. He doesn’t expect his daughter to suddenly change his attitude. In fact, his attitude is not important. Johnson’s surname is important.

“Two-fifths of the income of the energy mineral vein is given to Master Black, and the remaining three-fifths is the support of the family. The Northland is barren, and only this vein has been found at present. I will mobilize manpower to continue to look for it.”

Ophelia remained silent.

“Kristel was the one I agreed to participate in the test. It was originally just a tentative investment, but I didnt expect to foresee the benefits so quickly. She is very important. The attitude of the Black Master is absolutely impossible for no reason. The family and the world of the Master There is no connection, but Krystal can get preferential treatment from the mage. It will be of great help to you if you are friendly with her.”

If you ignore the words of family that are constantly mentioned in Earl Johnson’s words, this should be a harmonious father-daughter dialogue, but now, for Ophelia, who is instinctively opposed to the family, she can’t get any touch.

“Also, don’t invest too much in Adam, no matter what. I can’t feel any breath of the same kind from him, but it seems to be facing a mage. He has no feelings, and he will never help because of feelings. you.”

Ophelia couldn’t help but said, “I don’t have…”

Earl Johnson said unceremoniously: “Ask your own heart~~ There is no best, if there are some, I hope you will listen to me, whether it is because you are my daughter or family interest, this time I It won’t hurt you.”

Ophelia lowered her head to be silent again.

“But this is fine, the transaction relationship based on pure interest is the simplest and strongest. If you can give him the resources he needs, he will do what he should do.” Earl Johnson said sharply.

“I just did not drive away the other apprentices after I reached a deal with Mage Black. My daughter, if you are not an idiot, you should know what I mean by doing this. Through this opportunity, you will gradually win over them through your identity, and even Conquer them. There has never been a person who can go to the top alone, ordinary people can’t, and I believe that mages can’t do the same.”

The conversation was over, and Earl Johnson got up, “Finally, congratulations once again, and wish you a smooth sailing and a smooth journey.” After that, he didn’t look at Ophelia again, and walked straight out of the main hall.

Leaving Ophelia alone in a mess, she wisely told her that this is not a concern, but an exchange of interests between the two, but now she still has the blood of the Johnson family in her body, and her sensibility makes her unable to maintain Icy.

If it were Adam, he would definitely say that human beings are always so stupid, tired of emotions, and easily shake their own will. But Ophelia is not Adam.

There is no word for the next night.

The next morning, the five people gathered outside the city lords mansion with different moods. Mage Black didnt care about their emotions, nodded in satisfaction when they saw that they were not late, and then simply said: “Then, lets go.”
