After the gray-robed old man Stefano finished his story, Richard couldn't help but ask, "Dear Mr. Stefano, you mentioned wizard apprentices and demon hunters just now? Can you briefly describe them?"
"Haha, of course. In fact, I am a second-level wizard apprentice. Look, I can do the light magic."
Stefano snapped his fingers, and instantly, a soft white light appeared on the tip of his index finger, which stunned Richard.
"It turns out that witchcraft really exists in this world!" Richard was dazed for a moment and muttered to himself.
"Haha, this is not witchcraft. The Light Spell is just a low-level trick. Some children are born with extraordinary mental power and can use this trick without learning meditation.
Many five or six-year-old children are afraid of the dark, and they accidentally perform the Light Spell. But some children are afraid of the dark, and they perform the Ignition Spell and burn the house.
This is because everyone has different qualifications and different elemental affinities." Stefano said with a smile.
"As for demon hunters, they were actually called seal swordsmen in ancient times. Wizards used a special ritual to transform ordinary people into warriors who could use seals to fight against the various demons that appeared in ancient times.
This ritual gave them a lifespan beyond that of ordinary people, the special ability to use signs, and a stronger resistance to all kinds of witchcraft, but it also made them lose their fertility and the possibility of further using witchcraft! "
Richard, who was originally very interested in demon hunters, was speechless when he heard the words "lost fertility"!
From this point of view, if he wanted to obtain the energy points needed to trigger inspiration by killing monsters, becoming a wizard apprentice was his only choice at the moment.
"Dear Sir Stefano, how can one become a wizard apprentice?" Richard continued to ask.
"Haha, this depends on your talent and opportunity. After all, most ordinary people don't have the qualifications to be wizards. Otherwise, wizards in ancient times wouldn't have invented the Trial of Green Grass, a ritual with a very high mortality rate, to transform ordinary people into demon hunters."
"Child, if you really want to become a wizard apprentice, I can do a simple test of your qualifications now." Stefano said, and took out a fist-sized crystal ball from his arms.
"Of course I do! Mr. Stefano, please help me test it." Hearing that Stefano could actually test his qualifications right now, Richard was of course very happy but also a little nervous at the same time.
"Come, hold the crystal ball, close your eyes, concentrate as much as possible, and feel the active energy particles in the air." Stefano's low voice came to Richard's ears.
With a nervous mood, Richard held the crystal ball in his right hand. At the same time, he closed his eyes and focused his mind on the crystal ball.
It seemed that as Richard concentrated his mental power, the crystal ball began to gradually absorb energy elements from the outside world.
However, there seems to be a significant difference in the absorption capacity for different energy elements.
After a while, three colors began to gather in the originally colorless crystal ball and gradually stabilized. Most of them were ink-like black, a small part was jumping red, and at the same time, there was a touch of green surrounding it.
"alright!"
Hearing Stefano's words, Richard relaxed and opened his eyes.
"What a pity, kid. The good news is that, judging from the simple talent test we just took, you have about the third-class wizard qualifications.
The bad news is that your elemental affinity is mainly towards dark elements, followed by fire elements, and finally a little bit of nature affinity, none of which are suitable for my school, so I can't give you any guidance." Stefano shook his head with regret.
Richard, unable to hide his disappointment on his face, could only say thank you helplessly and took a step back.
After all, he had already taken up a lot of Stefano's time. This time, Stefano was invited by the Count to investigate the problem of monsters appearing in Silver Pine Town, which was a business trip, while helping him test his talent was a private matter.
When the Baron's father saw Richard's disappointed expression, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Kid, in fact, the wizard schools that major in dark elements are basically dark wizard schools. The teaching methods are relatively extreme, and the mortality rate during the wizard apprenticeship period is very high. I personally do not recommend you to go. But if you go to a school that focuses on fire elements, I am afraid that with your affinity for fire elements..." Stefano obviously saw Richard's disappointed expression, paused, and added.
Stefano's hesitant attitude immediately disappointed Richard.
Richard understood what Stefano meant. If he wanted to become a wizard and achieve something, he had to major in the Dark Element School, but the mortality rate was very high. But if he chose other schools, he would probably waste his time and would not go far on the wizard path.
They chatted for a while longer, and then Stefano, accompanied by the sheriff Knight Rawlins, took his leave.
"Richard, come on, spar with me," his brother Levi, who noticed that Richard was not in a good mood, immediately called out.
The baron on the side also planned to take a good look at Richard's strength. After all, even he was quite surprised by the accuracy of the crossbow arrows shot by Richard last night.
Richard, who was not in a good mood, didn't want to go, but was dragged to the training ground by his brother Levi. With the help of the guards, he changed into training armor with built-in cotton padding, assumed the starting posture of Cornell swordsmanship, and officially started sparring with his brother Levi.
"Ding ding clang clang!" The sound of the two steel swords clashing continued to be heard, and brother Levi became more and more frightened as the fight went on.
Richard's fighting became smoother and smoother. Every move and form of Cornell's swordsmanship felt so familiar to him. Some key points and tricks that he was not familiar with before seemed to be peeled off at this moment, allowing him to see the key points inside.
At the same time, his control over timing was much better than before. He knew when to use which move, and the baron who was watching the battle on the side couldn't stop nodding his head.
"Ding!" After a loud sound of metal clashing, the two brothers each took a half step back.
Brother Levi looked at Richard as if he had seen a ghost: "Richard, were you teasing me before?"
You have to know that just now brother Levi used almost all his sword skills, but he only had a slight advantage and still failed to win quickly.
If this had happened in the past, it would have been unbelievable. I remember that a few days ago, he and Richard were sparring, using only one-third of their strength each time, but Richard still couldn't last more than ten moves!
"Richard, what is going on?" Brother Levi's eyes were as big as copper bells.
Obviously, he still couldn't believe that his always lazy brother could fight almost on equal terms with his older brother who practiced hard every day.
"Haha, maybe I had an epiphany." Richard smiled slightly.
As for the truth, of course it cannot be told, even to relatives.
The kind of sudden enlightenment that Richard mentioned does exist in this world. In the biographies of some wandering poets, there are write-ups of very few famous swordsmanship masters who made great progress in swordsmanship after a sudden enlightenment when they were young.
"Unbelievable, Richard, are you the legendary swordsmanship genius?" Levi exclaimed. He had also heard of sudden enlightenment, but he had never thought that such a thing would happen to him or his family, especially his younger brother who was always lazy.
The Baron's father also looked thoughtful. After a long while, he spoke: "Richard, I plan to send you to the county city to learn swordsmanship from the swordsmanship master Meyer. What do you think?"
Richard was shocked, he knew his situation.
He was not a swordsmanship genius, he just had a golden finger that could trigger inspiration. If he went to the county town to practice swordsmanship, how would he have the chance to kill the monsters.
Without killing monsters, there would be no energy points. Without energy points, it would obviously be impossible to trigger inspiration, and then his pseudo-genius would be exposed immediately!
Even if he became a sterile demon hunter, it would be better than going to the county city to learn swordsmanship.
Of course, the best choice is to become a wizard.
Not only can wizards earn energy points by killing monsters like demon hunters, but their magical and powerful witchcraft also makes Richard, a time traveler, yearn for it!
Therefore, Richard immediately shook his head and said firmly:
"No, father, I still want to see if there is any hope for me to join a wizard school."
"Ever since I saw Mr. Stefano perform witchcraft, becoming a wizard has been my dream!"
"I hope you can give me a chance to pursue my dreams freely!"
The baron frowned and wanted to say something else, but after looking at Richard's serious face, he nodded slightly, as if to indicate that he understood Richard's thoughts.
His elder brother Levi stroked Richard's hair and advised, "Richard, you heard what Master Stefano said. If you want to achieve something on the path of a wizard, you must go to the Dark Wizard School. It's too dangerous."
"If it's the White Wizard School, and you have a rare wizard talent, I think father and mother will definitely agree!"
"Brother, I'm not afraid of danger. I believe I can take care of myself!" Richard said firmly.
Since this world has extraordinary powers, and the benefits of time travelers - golden fingers are also available.
If in this situation, you are afraid to pursue your dreams because of a little danger, then what is the difference between you and salted fish!
