After receiving Oak's advice, Taylor arrived early the next morning in front of a three-story wizard tower printed with various patterns and guarded by two construct puppets.
Also coming to participate in the selection of apprentices by Cretan wizards are other wizard apprentices who are proficient in puppetry knowledge, elemental puppetry knowledge and partial construct puppetry knowledge.
"Are you also here to take the assessment of the Cretan wizard?"
"Of course, the Cretan wizard is a master of puppetry."
"I wonder which one of so many people will be lucky enough to become a Cretan wizard? Apprentice."
Hearing the voices of the wizard apprentices waiting with him for the start of the assessment, even Taylor, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but become nervous.
"Don't be nervous. Just rely on our wisdom. Whatever questions the Cretan wizard asks, we can both help you refer to them."
Kano's voice sounded in Taylor's mind. In his opinion, When three of their consciousnesses think about a problem together, the effect is much better than if they think about it alone.
"It's too troublesome to think about problems. It's really scary. Kano, don't you think I'm dead?"
Bobby's teasing voice echoed in his mind.
"The problem is that you're not dead yet. I think it's better for a lazy bastard like you to die."
Kano snorted coldly and ignored the slutty Bobby standing by.
"The three of us are one body no matter what. Once the Cretan wizard raises any questions, you two will also help to think more. I think the three of us can pass this test."
Taylor doesn't want to miss this time Opportunity, he quickly warned the two alternate personalities in his mind.
"Don't worry, I will never hold you back."
"I think I need a vacation for a while~~~~~~~~"
After hearing the words of the two people, Taylor nodded and continued to wait in line. Soon, four puppets dressed as butlers came out and led one apprentice after another into the interior of the wizard tower for assessment.
Taylor noticed that the puppets dressed by the four butlers had no traces of witchcraft runes or energy lines on their appearance. They must have used internal enchantment, and the methods were clever. The puppets did not reveal any magic fluctuations when they were running.
If they didn't look like puppets on the outside, no one would have thought that these four servants who were dressed like butlers and behaved like flowing fluids were actually puppets.
"The skills displayed by the Cretan wizard are enough to show how profound his knowledge in puppetry is. I am afraid that his knowledge in witchcraft runes is beyond my reach."
Just through these few words The butler puppet, Taylor is enough to get a glimpse of the unfathomable secrets of the Cretan wizards.
"It is indeed an extraordinary existence, Taylor. You must firmly grasp this opportunity. If you can have such a teacher during the apprenticeship stage, even if he does not give you any advice, you can just watch some of his experiments and research You will benefit a lot."
Kano's tone was full of seriousness. He already understood that this was a great opportunity. If he could catch a ride with this wizard, Taylor's future as a wizard would definitely be smoother. .
He has even begun to think that if he is not selected, for the sake of Taylor's future, the lucky one who is selected must die, and he must not die in Taylor's hands, so he must plan carefully.
Even if he can't kill the lucky guy, he still has to grasp the other person's weakness and manipulate the other person's soul. Whatever he learns, he has to tell Taylor something when he comes back!
"Hohoho, these puppets are all as strong as monsters..."
Bobby's words were still so cynical, but his tone was a little more serious.
In front of the wizard's tower, apprentices came in and out, some with sad faces, and some with glorious faces. The queue of apprentices was slowly moving forward, and Taylor, who was waiting at the back, finally waited for the moment to enter the wizard tower.
Taylor stepped into the wizard's tower and suddenly appeared in an empty room. There was only a table, a chair, five papers with magic fluctuations, and two butler puppets next to them.
Is this a spatial fluctuation? Cretan wizards are also good at space?
The method of teleportation and disembodiment startled Taylor. Even Kano and Bobby in his mind remained silent, quietly watching everything from Taylor's perspective.
One butler puppet led Taylor to the table, and another butler puppet pulled out a chair and asked Taylor to sit on it. After Taylor sat on it, the two butler puppets said in unison:
"Dear apprentice, Mr. Cretan Wizard, do you want to sit on it?" You have left five questions. You can answer one, two, three or all five according to your level of knowledge. Based on the content of your answers, the great Cretan wizard will judge you. Are you suitable to be his apprentice?"
After saying that, the two butler puppets stood around Taylor one after another. It seems that in addition to guiding, these two puppets also have a role to invigilate the exam.
Is it an exam...
Taylor quickly browsed through these five questions and soon had his own ideas about these five questions.
The first question is to write down your knowledge about element puppets and construct puppets and the most commonly used runes.
For the second question, the apprentices are asked to write down the energy pattern designs they have mastered so far based on their own knowledge of energy patterns that are different from those in the library.
The third question is, if you want to design a fire element puppet and maintain an elemental body composed of elements, what kind of witchcraft runes should be enchanted on the core to make it maintain flexibility while ensuring attack power and strength?
Question 4: How to make several resonant element puppets that can be assembled? Draw the links and resonances of the elements between them.
For the fifth question, please answer as much as possible based on your current knowledge how to simplify the construct puppet and create a construct puppet that is simpler, lower cost, and easier to make.
It seems that this Cretan wizard really values the research on puppets and constructs, and the purpose of recruiting apprentices is to assist his research on puppets and constructs.
Looking at these five pieces of paper exuding magic fluctuations, Taylor quickly wrote his name and started answering the first question.
"I remember that we can use "smooth" runes and "explosion" runes..." "
It's so troublesome. I think what we learned in the zombie plane can be used. We need to use a small amount of magic machine knowledge and magic channels. Knowledge."
In his mind, Kano and Bobby were constantly communicating with Taylor from different angles, trying to write the most perfect answer.
