Why are some children able to see the dim magical light and others not?
How does magic work in the body? Why on the Galloping Horse Plains, the probability of a child activating a bloodline exceeds the empire’s average?
Ever since he was wandering on the Galloping Horse Plains, Lant had been thinking about these issues intermittently. After reaching a high level, his intermittent speculations finally formed a concept, so he had a potential testing instrument in the territory.
The potential meter is similar to a lighting stick, a long glass-like stick less than half a meter long, with a metal grip at the bottom. The bottom end of the grip is the base of the magic crystal. When the demon owner holds and opens the base, the magic crystal will appear. The magic power on the crystal will be transmitted into the glass through the tester's hands.
There are 12 white glass balls embedded in the glass. Each ball has a lighting magic pattern on it. If the magic in the base can enter the glass without any hindrance, all 12 balls will glow. .
According to Lant's conjecture, starting from the age of 12, 20% of children already have magic flowing in their bodies. Because of this, these children can still see the magic light flowing on the magic lines even if their bloodline is not activated.
However, children cannot actively release or even feel the existence of magic, so it is necessary to use a magic source to test the "magic conductivity" of the child's body.
So Lant made the current test instrument. After the magic crystal releases the magic power, the magic power is transmitted through the subject's hand and enters the glass rod array. The smoother the transmission process, the more white balls will light up. .
According to the test of all the demon-free children in the territory, nearly 20% of the children can light up at least one small ball, and less than 10% of the children can light up more than 6 small balls.
At this moment, Xiaohua held the metal base of the tester, took a deep breath, and stared closely at the 12 white balls in the glass rod. During the census 10 days ago, she saw 8 lights inside, belonging to the territory. Above average.
Among the children, everyone's test results are no secret. Everyone compares openly or secretly with the barbarians, orcs, children from the royal capital, children from the iron mine, and children from the territory.
Although no one said clearly that the more lights on, the easier it is to activate the bloodline, but 2 days ago, a child from the royal capital, Wei Lisi, suddenly activated the bloodline. It is said that she has the bloodline of the Dragonborn in her body, which has great potential. The result of the test is that 11 lights up.
In the glass rod in front of you, the small white balls began to gradually emit a soft light. The first, second, and third balls, and the five bottom balls were lit up quickly, but the speed became slower as they went up. When the eight stars lit up, Xiaohua held her breath unconsciously.
The ninth one finally slowly glowed, and then the tenth white ball above it. After the brightness of the ball below stabilized, there were a few invisible changes.
"10 balls" Dakira looked over and said, "The 10th ball must have lit up, but..."
Before the female mage could finish speaking, Ufei behind the desk spoke: "Daqira, leave the testing room after you finish the test. Don't interfere with other people's tests here!"
"Okay, I'll leave now, Wu Fei, your shift is done, come to me for dinner, I'll treat you!" Daqira said with a smile, and quickly took Xiaohua away.
The testing room, exchange room, magic materials, and even the library, alchemy laboratory, and magic pattern laboratory all require students to assist in the management. These assistance tasks also have corresponding points that can be redeemed. Many knight apprentices who have not grabbed the patrol mission will come. Earn points here.
Wu Fei was working as a tester in the testing room today. After being busy all afternoon, she naturally would not refuse Dakira's invitation, especially since the other party's points were several times more than her own.
"I remember you've already taken the test twice, why are you still coming here?" Xiaohua and Daqira waited for Ufei after leaving the test room door, "You get a lot of points for one test!"
"It's because you get more points for one test, because it consumes magic crystals, and one magic crystal costs 10 gold coins." Daqira said with a smile, "I am a junior mage, and I need to determine the direction of spells in the future, so I will test more now." A few times, it will be a reference for the future.”
The test room not only provides tests for non-magic people, but also provides tests for knights' fighting spirit and magician's spell direction test. The magician's test tool is more complex. In a cube, from the glass ball at the center to each of the upper and lower sides There are 4 layers of small balls arranged on the side, namely 1, 3, 6 and 9 balls.
That is, there are a total of 145 balls from the center to the eight sides above and below. Each side represents a kind of magic, which are water, fire, earth, wind, life, thunder, light, and darkness. The mage directly releases one during the test. The simplest lighting technique, the magic circle on the side wall of the cube will gradually decompose the magic power into the small ball in the center. Then the small balls in each direction will light up according to the magic power characteristics of the caster. Just observe the lighting ratio. The element type of the subject can be seen.
"Then you need 1 point for this test, right?" Xiaohua, as a non-demon, is very cautious about points. The points she has now are all exchanged for the Warcraft meat that Neil brought her.
The female mage shook her head, not caring at all and said: "This is already very cheap. In the capital city, you need an archmage or above to feel the elemental type of a junior mage based on the magic network. I think it won't be much more expensive than this!"
Lant's testing equipment is not cheap. He and the Magic Goblin worked hard for several days using various tools in the ruins to make four testing instruments. However, the advantage of this is that once the equipment is completed, the cost of use is greatly reduced. , much cheaper than hiring an archmage or a high-level person.
"And in the entire academy, I also have the most points among the juniors." When it comes to points, Dakira is quite proud, although her first few scrolls did have her mother's help, especially providing several bottles of magic. Ink and blank scrolls, but Dakira's own talent is indeed high. After assisting Kai and Yinghuo several times, she can draw the sought-after life scroll independently. After the success rate reaches more than 50%, she can make a stable profit.
"Don't look at Ufei catching three orc gangsters and working every day. Her points are less than half of mine." The mage wanted to show off again, but her friend Ufei had already got off work and patted her specially. .
"The reason you have so many points is because of the rules. Every knight student who captures 3 orcs will no longer be able to continue patrolling. They have to be given to inexperienced people. Otherwise, I can capture 3 every day." Ufei grabbed two orcs. The girl walked towards the cafeteria, "We agreed, Daqi, you will treat me this time, and I want to eat something good!"
Wu Fei is not dissatisfied with the arresting rules. Now the knight students basically know that those half-orc thieves are deliberately brought in from the royal capital for everyone to practice. There are 2-3 every night. When they are captured by junior knights, , Wind Wolf Knight or mid-level Warcraft will also deploy control and protection.
