168. Inscriptionist Exam 2

In front of the gate of the inscription union headquarters, there are two humanoid sculptures more than three meters high on both sides of the door, the relief on the copper gate is full of mottled traces under the wind and rain, only the bracelet of the copper gate is polished to a shiny shine, and can reflect its own reflection on it. The reliefs on the bronze gates have become blurred, as if they depict a war, and I found that many of the buildings in the imperial capital are depicted in reliefs depicting various war scenes.

This is very different from the city of El Eyre, where the buildings are basically extremely monotonous, and there are very few reliefs with such a surface like a work of art. In recent decades, the city of El has been brutally cleaned by barbarians on the ice, snow and tundra, and not many of the city's ancient buildings have survived.

But the imperial capital is different, the people in this city have not suffered the baptism of war for nearly a hundred years, so many ancient buildings have survived, although the inscription union headquarters building has been repaired not long ago, but a lot of valuable things, many cultural relics with the characteristics of the inscription union are still preserved, the two statues in front of the guild gate and the quaint bronze gate are one of them.

The two statues are carved from a kind of black spar, the statues are two magicians wearing magic robes, I saw them wearing hoods, hands unfolded magic scrolls, in a posture of reading aloud to people, this non-gold and non-jade black spar is the most suitable rock for carving, this black rock is called smoke jade, the texture is soft and glutinous, can be sketched by craftsmen every line.

Nowadays, the surface texture of the statue has become a little blurred, these two statues are the masterpieces of the famous master carver Amos Blair, now, the master carver has not many surviving works, the two statues of the magician in front of the headquarters of the inscription union are the works of the master carver at his peak, many carvers come to the imperial capital, and they will inevitably go to the headquarters of the inscription union to pay respects.

These two statues stand on the left and right sides of the gate of the headquarters of the inscription union, and they are also a reminder to every inscriptionist to remember that carving skills and techniques are one of the basic criteria to measure the excellence of an inscriptionist.

Coming to the front of the Inscription Union Headquarters building, I honestly stood next to the stone pedestal under the statue to bask in the sun, Caterina stood quietly beside me, and we, like the other magicians standing here, were quietly waiting for the Inscription Union Headquarters Building to officially open.

At this time, a young magician stood under the statue opposite, he looked a little bored, holding his chin with one hand and looking at me curiously, and then looked at Caterina next to me, with blinking blue eyes, a high bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose was a little red, a few faint freckles on the cheekbones, wearing a black magic robe, and the magic badge on the front of his chest was the same as mine, which was the junior magician badge.

His personality seems to be a little jumpy, standing under the statue, always moving his feet from time to time, holding a magic carving knife in his hand and constantly spinning rapidly between his fingers, watching him fiddle with the magic carving knife like a colorful butterfly dancing among the flowers, you know that the carving knife in his hand has become a part of his body, and only exquisite knife skills can fiddle with magic carving knives like this.

I can be sure that he is not a magician in the Royal Academy of Magic, nor has he ever appeared in the Academy of Magic, it seems that the imperial capital is still too big, and many magicians usually hide in their own small world, and only when they participate in some kind of ritual, they will probably come out of their nests.

The middle-aged magicians next to him almost all stood in place with their eyes closed, and at this time, no one wanted to chat.

When I was bored, I heard someone around me say to me, "Hi, hello. ”

I turned my head and saw the young magician under the statue opposite, who was already standing in front of me, I don't know when.

“......”

He had already put away the magic carving knife he was fiddling with, and he rubbed his hands a little crampedly, and asked me, "Did you come with the teacher to see the world, or did you come to take the inscription master exam?"

I raised the letter of recommendation in my hand, it was a letter of recommendation made of magical parchment, which not only had the seal of the Magic Research Institute, but also the comments written by Bruce, the vice president of the Magic Research Institute, and the magic parchment wrote: There is a magician Ji Jia in the inscription department of our institute, and after many investigations, our institute believes that he is qualified to participate in the junior inscription master qualification examination, please ask the headquarters of the Inscription Guild to approve it!

Probably the most valuable thing on it is the seal of the Magic Research Institute and the personal seal of Vice Dean Bruce, this letter of recommendation was applied for by the Yerkes Scholar for me, at that time, he looked excited, and shook the letter of recommendation in his hand vigorously, and shouted to me: Jijia, you can take the junior inscription master qualification exam.

In fact, I didn't expect that there was no place to register for the inscription master qualification exam, and there was only one way for magicians who wanted to take the inscription master qualification exam to sign up, and that was to ask the inscription master in the inscription union to write a letter of recommendation.

Many of the magicians in the Green Empire are not good at carving, and the inscription master is a very money-burning profession in the early stage, so the magicians who dare to choose this kind of magic profession in the Green Empire are basically supported by noble families or big chaebols, otherwise, the high cost of magic materials alone is not something that an ordinary magician can afford.

Of course, I'm the outlier among these magicians, and I've always had the support of the Yerkis Scholar's inscription designs, and I've had a very high success rate in drawing magic patterns, so as long as I keep drawing magic scrolls and magic patterns, there is no shortage of magic crystals.

"Hah, you're also going to take the Junior Inscription Master Qualification Exam?" he said with a look of surprise on his face.

I nodded.

He held out his hand to me, and I politely held out my hand, both hands clasped together. When shaking hands, I felt that his hands were very strong, the palms were a little dry, and there was a layer of calluses on the palms, which should have been left over from practicing carving.

And so, the young magician, who stood a whole head taller than me, began to talk to me enthusiastically.

He was very talkative, even a little chattering, and his name was Norbert Gillingham.

However, he seemed to be very closed to the news in the imperial capital, and I said that my name was Ji Jia, and his expression did not have a strange expression, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

(What worries me the most is that when I introduce my name, the other party will show a surprised look and say to me: Hey, you are Jijia! I have admired the name for a long time, and I have admired the name for a long time! I heard that you have just married the flower of the imperial capital, the pearl of His Royal Highness Qige and Prince James, Princess Yingli, it is really not easy!)

Every time someone says that to me, I want to pour a bucket of ice water over their heads.

He seemed unfamiliar with my name, and hearing that I didn't have a surname after it, Norbert asked me, "Are you a magician from a civilian background?"

I nodded and acknowledged, "Well, I'm here in the northern province of Sloyth. ”

"So you're from the North!" he exclaimed, and then his questions kept on asking me, "So...... Forgive me, which family do you belong to, I mean, which family paid for you? If you're a magician in the province of Sloit, shouldn't you take the inscription master qualification exam at the Magic Guild of the province of Sloit? Why did you go all the way to the imperial capital?"

I said to him: "First of all, I am not a magician from an aristocratic family, no one pays for me, and learning inscriptions is just my personal hobby, so I don't belong to any wealthy nobles. ”

"Personal hobbies......" Norbert was a little dumbfounded, apparently, he didn't think that a magician could stand here just because of some hobby, but I didn't want to explain it to him in too much detail.

I then said to him, "Besides, I am a magician student at the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital, and I came to the Imperial Capital to learn more advanced magical knowledge, so I will take the Junior Inscriptionist Qualification Examination in the Imperial Capital, not in the Province of Sloit. ”

When he heard me say this, he immediately gave me a thumbs up and complimented, "I didn't expect you to be a master of magic." ”

Later, we began to talk about why we chose the magic profession of inscription, you must know that basically all magicians can draw magic scrolls, many magicians earn living expenses with their superb skills in drawing magic scrolls, but there are not many magicians who become inscriptions.

Norbert told me that when he showed great interest in carving at the junior magic academy, the family decided to tilt his resources and train him to become an inscriptionist, even if he became a junior inscriptionist, which was of great significance to some of the great nobles, because it meant that the family could make and repair magic patterns on their own.

Nowadays, in the Grimm Empire, only the Constructed Knights are considered to be the strongest combat power, and all territorial expansion and confrontation with the dark forces are inseparable from the power of the Constructed Knights, so if a great nobleman can have an inscription master dedicated to his family, then it means that his Constructed Knights are endless, as long as there is enough time, the magic pattern will be continuously manufactured.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about damage to the Demonic Pattern Construct on the battlefield, and for junior inscriptionists, repairing the Demonic Pattern Construct is also a compulsory course for them.

It wasn't until I mentioned that I was working as a magic assistant under a magician in the inscription department of the Magic Research Institute, that Norbert showed a sudden expression and said to me: "No wonder you don't need the support of the great nobles, it turns out that the person standing behind you is a scholar of the Magic Research Institute, and I heard that the resources of the Magic Research Institute are the richest in the entire imperial capital, even when magic herbs are the most scarce, the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute has not cut off the supply of magic herbs......"

While we were chatting, the bronze gate of the headquarters of the Inscription Guild suddenly 'creaked', and someone opened it from the inside, and a team of magicians in magic robes stood neatly inside, these magicians all looked at the group of people at the door with expressionless faces, and the old magician standing in the center took a step forward, and then the whole gate became silent, and all the magicians waiting outside the door surrounded the door, only a small footstep sounded.

Norbertra grabbed my arm, and we both blended in the crowd and headed for the door.

When he saw that Caterina was still following me, he whispered to me, "No retinues are allowed in the examination room, let your Constructed Knight wait for you outside." ”

I nodded and whispered to Katerina, "Otherwise, you go to Qige and wait for me, anyway, this place is not far from the research institute, and I will go to you after the exam." ”

Caterina pointed to the apple trees outside the headquarters of the Inscription Union and said, "I'll wait for you under those apple trees." ”

Seeing that Caterina was so persistent, I nodded and whispered, "Okay." ”

When Caterina saw that I agreed, she no longer hesitated to perform a 'flash' in the crowd, and the next second she appeared outside the crowd, which startled some of the attendants standing around, but when these people saw that Caterina was wearing a gorgeous magic pattern uniform, they immediately looked away, no one wanted to provoke a knight for no reason.

It wasn't until Caterina left that Norbert whispered to me beside me, "Giga, is this Miss Constructed Warrior your follower?"

I hesitated for a moment, and nodded, thinking that Caterina should be considered my follower by now.

"Her eyes are so beautiful, and she has that long red hair. Norbert said to me.

I smiled and didn't speak.

The old magician, who was standing at the gate of the Inscription Guild, began to say to us unhurriedly: "The magicians who are taking the Junior Inscription Master qualification examination will stand on my left, please pay attention to stand in a row, and then you will be brought into the examination room by the Miki Scholar standing in front of you for the written test." ”

Then he said, "Magicians who are taking the Intermediate Inscription Master Qualification Examination, please stand on my right hand ......."

His voice is not high, but his voice is very clear, penetrating and recognizable, so that I can hear it clearly even when I am standing in the outer circle.

Sure enough, most of the magicians waiting in the headquarters building of the Inscription Guild were taking the junior inscription master qualification examination, and this part of the people accounted for almost more than ninety percent of the total number, and Norbert and I were a little special among a group of middle-aged magicians, but those people in the Inscription Guild seemed to have become accustomed to it, and they didn't look at us more because of this.

Only the old magicians wearing the golden magic badges on their chests stood to the right of the old magician, and sure enough, these second-turn magicians were participating in the promotion exam.

Finally, the old magician said, "Those who take the qualification examination for senior inscriptionists can stand in front of me, and then I will test it myself." ”

There were many people standing at the door of the headquarters building of the inscription trade union, and in the midst of whispering, no one answered.

After waiting for a while, the old magician sighed softly, turned around and silently returned to the headquarters building of the Inscription Guild, and the remaining magicians of the Inscription Guild began to tell us about the rules of the exam and the matters to be paid attention to: The primary examination of magic runes is divided into three parts, the first part is a written test, and the answer sheet of basic theoretical knowledge. The second part is to make a magic pattern structure, and the third part is to defend in front of the examiner with the magic pattern structure made.

We were then taken into the headquarters of the Inscription Union......
