Chapter 36 Apprenticeship Graduation
Coming to the gate of the High Fence Fort again, Henry was a little emotional. This experience allowed him to experience the first transformation in this world, and determined his life philosophy, values, and views on the entire world. In just a few days, he made a huge difference. Walking to the gate of the castle, the door opened automatically. Archmage Tyrantiel stood in the doorway and said to him with open arms, "Welcome back my apprentice and, of course, this lovely little warlock girl. Habaser has told me that you seem to have a good grasp of alchemy, and he is full of praise for you. Henry bowed slightly and said, "This is all taught by you and Master Habashur, and Amy will be staying with me for a while, and I hope you will give her a room." As for Ares and Bambock, let them live next door to the kitchen, I think they'll love it. ”
The archmage smiled and said, "Of course, I will give this little girl a room and teach her for a while. I've never taught a warlock before, and it's bound to be a whole new experience. Okay, let's go in first. With that, he led everyone into the castle. After a simple assignment of rooms, the little girl and the animals went back to their rooms. The old man took Henry alone to his room at the top of the tower, and after each of them sat down, he asked, "Now I should ask you about your choice of magic path, as we all know that magic is now divided into eight schools, protection, spells, prophecy, enchantment, plasticity, illusion, necromancy, and change. Generally speaking, at the moment of becoming a mage, most mages will choose a faction to specialize in exchange for more spell slots, but this comes at a cost, as they can no longer learn and use the spells of the opposing faction. But I found out that you didn't choose any factions, can you tell me what you think? ”
Henry stood up and nodded slightly to his mentor and said, "Of course, my teacher, I love magic and don't want to pass up any opportunity to learn it. The ultimate goal of my magical path is to learn all the spells in this world. And I think that abandoning a school of thought means that the spell is not well prepared, and that not being well prepared is the enemy of the mage, which you should know. As for the lack of spell slots, that's not a problem, I'm still a druid and have nature magic to make up for it. ”
"All right, my dear disciple. You have chosen the path of generalists, and I applaud you for your ambition to learn all the magic of this world. Finally, I would like to ask another question about your future life path, no matter what you choose, I will not interfere, do you choose good or evil? The old man asked.
Henry stood quietly for a minute before speaking: "In my opinion, good and evil are just different yardsticks for evaluation, and I have chosen the way of neutrality. Everything will always stick to its own views and will not compromise with any party. There is no good, there is no evil, only those who look at good and evil. ”
Tyrantil smiled when he heard him and said, "Very good, quite in line with your druid status." I think you have found your own path in the future, so I wish you further and further on this path. Your graduation question and answer is over, and from tomorrow onwards you will follow me every morning to do magic experiments. And when you leave this castle, I allow you to pick two level eight, two level seven, four level six, and four level five spell scrolls. Henry thanked the archmage for his generosity and went back to his room to rest.
The days that followed were busy and fulfilling. Every morning, follow the mentor to conduct some advanced magic experiments, such as summoning demons, otherworldly exploration, golem making, plane exploration, and other dangerous and interesting things. In the afternoon, he hid in his room to make some potions, and since he had decided to go to sea to find his own territory, money was an essential link. Making potions is his best way to make money, and he spends his free time making transistors. Originally, it was impossible to make it by hand, but fortunately he had pure silicon. After many experiments, he finally found the doping ratio, and mixed a certain proportion of pure phosphorus and pure boron into two small silicon wafers that were cut to form P-type and N-type semiconductors respectively. The two slices are then linked together to form a diode. Two diodes are simply processed to form a triode, which is the basic building block of a transistor computer. And these simple and delicate tasks are basically done by him to direct Pico's spirit Louise, which cannot be done with human fingers. Even so, the scrap rate is still high.
During this time, Amy received systematic teachings from Archmage Tyrantiel, and the warlock's impatient nature did not manifest itself in her. Every afternoon, I came to the Archmage on time with my notes to listen to the lectures, and asked some questions from time to time. Mornings were spent experimenting with magic and crafting low-level items, and during this time her Missile Staff sold very well and was well received by adventurers, thieves, and merchants. In just one month she had earned fifteen hundred gold coins, and when she got the money, the little girl jumped for joy. When Henry heard the news, he gave her a dimensional bag of his belongings.
As the days passed, Henry's knowledge increased day by day, along with the number of points he used to make potions and the number of transistors. Amy's knowledge is also growing, and with her are all kinds of notes. Nearly a year had passed, and Henry had never returned home again, except for a few letters from Molian, who occasionally came to fetch potions, spell scrolls, and magic items. The contract with the Seven Suns Merchant went well, with large quantities of potions and scrolls, as well as a small number of missile staffs, being sold through their channels to various parts of the Northlands. Of course, you have to give the archmage a certain amount of commission, after all, you are using the energy of the mage tower.
Finally, it was time for him to leave the tower, and when he went to the basement to find the butler golem, he began to choose the scroll that the mentor had promised him. Level 8 Scroll: Spell Activation, Bigbay Punch. Level 7 Spells: Limited Wish, Ruby Reversal Ray. Level 6 Spells: Protective Magic Weapon, Misleading, Advanced Acceleration, Protective Magical Energy Damage. Level 5 Spells: Spell Immunity, Spell Shield, Dead Clouds, Retarded Spell. Once in hand, Henry carefully placed them in the reel box. You must know that it is basically impossible to buy magic scrolls above level five outside, and almost all magic organizations will not sell these high-level magic scrolls as commodities at will. He hung the necromancer's magic around his waist, and tried it the day he got it, and the system had no way to transcribe the magic on it. There's no way, Henry just took it as a disguise, it's a pity that the spell above, once an enemy steals this spell book, and then kills him, he can give the enemy a big surprise in an instant.
Arriving in the hall on the first floor, he saw Amy, Ares, Bamberck, his teacher, Master Tyrantyre, and Merikan, who was in his rebellious period. He smiled at his mentor and said, "Thank you again for your teaching, without you I would not be where I am today." The archmage looked at him with satisfaction and said, "You are the best student I have ever taught, and I hope you will always be on the path of magic in the future." I'm proud of you. Now I announce your graduation! Melikan also walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, I wish you a smooth journey." I made a magic belt overnight that will protect you from some puncture damage and give it to you as a gift. Henry took the belt and tied it up with some surprise and said, "Xie Lu, thank you Mei Likan, don't lose your temper with the teacher in the future, he is for your good." Merikan nodded and said, "I know that it's just a matter of attitude toward magic. Still, I stand by my opinion. ”
Henry shook his head and thought, "I hope he won't turn himself into a little ** in a few years" Turning around, he looked at Amy and the two animals behind him and asked, "Are you ready?" Okay, let's go. Amy nodded eagerly, and Ares let out a roar, and after the last Banbrock shook his head and said, "Let's go!" My claws have been hard to resist for a long time. When he heard the answer, he said to Tyrantiel, "Then I will take my leave, and see my teacher again." With that, he led everyone out of the fort. This time, he didn't use stealth, but swaggered to kill Izuku. Crushed by Ares, these fragile skeletons pose no threat at all.
The first target out of the realm of the High Fence was Belgost, and Henry did not go home, he led the people directly to the Hammersmith Shop. When he got to the door, he shouted, "Cagan, come out!" I'm here to pick you up. After a while, a shirtless dwarf ran out of the room, and he said to Henry, "Hahaha! You're coming to pick me up? Are you going to go on an adventure? Henry smiled and said to him, "Yes, my friend, I will only give you a quarter of an hour." You know, I didn't even go home, I came to you directly, and we set off directly after you packed up. Cagan turned and ran back into the house, and in only five minutes he was standing in the doorway. The dwarf said to the apprentice at the door, "When I am gone, the blacksmith will be left to you to take care of, do not disappoint me, and if you behave well, I will come back and teach you the true secrets of the dwarven iron." The apprentice heard the excitement and said, "Rest assured, I will not disgrace the hammersmith shop." Cagan nodded and turned to Henry and said, "What are you waiting for!" Let's go! My blood is already burning. ”
Henry looked at the dwarf's excited look, it seemed that these days had suffocated him. Adventurers rarely stop, unless they are too old to walk or crippled. After leaving Belgoust, the group went straight to Baldur's Gate, passing by the Friendly Arm without stopping. It's spring, the season of recovery. Food in the wild is starting to plentiful, and camping is less dangerous. In order to hurry up, the group set off at dawn and stopped to rest after dark. Since the living conditions in the field are not too bad with the dimensional bag, the tent is set up, the sleeping bag is selected, the camp is lit, and a lot of food is prepared. On the sixth day, they finally reached the mouth of the Dragon Bridge, paid the entrance tax for three men and a bear, and re-entered the Baldur's Gate. It was getting late when they entered the city, and everyone was going to go to the thieves' guild tomorrow to get Robert out after a night's rest.
