Miracle Furnace, a thing whose name sounds powerful.
Standing behind the wizard, Richard carefully used his mind to contact the furnace that had been unresponsive before.
He now had to figure out what this thing did as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the process is not complicated.
The moment Richard's spirit touched the furnace, the functions of the Miracle Furnace were automatically transmitted into his brain.
In short, the Miracle Furnace can extract all the parts that the host can use from the "raw materials". This part can be a certain substance in the raw materials themselves, or it can be some information contained in the raw materials.
When the Miracle Furnace is refining, the host needs to provide a continuous supply of "fuel". The amount of fuel consumed will vary depending on the things extracted.
To extract information, you need to provide mental power, and to extract matter, you need to provide energy.
…
The test was conducted very quickly. More than one hundred children were tested in less than an hour, and only seven of them passed the mental test.
"Okay. Let these children go back." After testing the last child, the black-robed wizard ordered the officer.
"Yes, Master Wizard." The officer bowed.
Watching the other children leave one after another, the remaining seven children looked at each other.
Among their seven children, there was a farmer's son, a baker's daughter, a blacksmith's adopted son, and a merchant's youngest son...
They included almost all classes of the entire territory, but now they stood together, waiting for the verdict of the black-robed wizard.
"Alright, kids. As qualified candidates, you are much better than the others. You will become the 432nd wizard apprentices of the Black Tower Wizard Academy and explore the path of truth in the wizard academy."
The wizard sounded very happy, and it seemed that he was satisfied that the Hesse Territory had seven qualified children.
He hooked his hand, motioning Baron Hesse to come over.
"Dellis, take these kids to a bath and change their clothes."
"And this child." The wizard pointed at Richard, "Take care of his wounds. If he gets into trouble due to his injuries during the rest of his journey... hehe."
The wizard didn't finish his words, but everyone knew the hidden meaning in them.
"I understand, my lord," the baron replied firmly.
After that, Baron Delis arranged for the castle's servants to take the other children to the lower level of the castle.
There is a large bathroom on the lower floor of the castle, and the hot spring from underground was cleverly converted into a bath by Baron Hesse.
In the bath, Richard's wounds went from numb to painful.
A luxury like a hot bath is a crime for ordinary people. The firewood used to boil water can be used to cook many meals.
Not to mention natural hot springs, which are only available to the nobility.
Richard stayed in the water for a while, and after rubbing off the mud and dust on his body, he immediately went ashore.
His time was a little tighter than the others, as he also had to tend to his wounds.
…
After leaving the bathroom, Richard put on the new clothes prepared by the maid.
The new clothes are made of cotton and are a bit loose, but they are warm.
After changing into new clothes, Richard stood in front of the mirror and looked at his appearance carefully.
With long black hair, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and thin lips of light color, he looks more like a nobleman in distress than a commoner.
"Sir, you must have noble blood in you," the maid standing nearby praised.
"Really?" Richard raised his eyebrows, and then, led by the maid, went to the second floor of the castle.
The corridor on the second floor of the castle is full of portraits, which appear to be those of the Hesse barons of successive generations.
At the end, Richard saw the portrait of the first Baron Hesse. In the portrait, the man was wearing armor and holding a two-handed sword in his hand.
Next to the portrait, a broken sword was hung on the wall.
"Um."
Just as Richard saw the broken sword, the miracle furnace in his body began to throb.
"Is this the sword of the first Baron Hesse?" Richard was moved.
This broken sword is the raw material recognized by the furnace.
"Yes, sir," the maid replied.
Richard walked forward and gently touched the broken sword.
[Ingredients: Count Hesse's Broken Sword]
[Skills that can be refined: Wind Crow Swordsmanship]
[Refining consumption: 5 mental power]
[Whether to refine]
Wind Crow Swordsmanship!
Richard was shocked.
This was the famous sword technique that made Count Hesse so famous on the battlefield.
This sword technique was so famous that even Richard, a lowly peasant, had heard of it from bards.
But it is said that this sword technique was lost three hundred years ago.
This is also the reason for the decline of the Hessen lineage.
Faced with such a valuable treasure, Richard naturally chose to withdraw it without hesitation.
This thing is a rare opportunity!
As Richard chose to extract it, he instantly felt sleepy, as if he had been listening to a morning of advanced mathematics class, his head was dizzy.
But before Richard could fall asleep, the scene before him instantly frightened him awake.
The broken sword disappeared!
The maid standing by was stunned. Where is such a big sword?
But in the blink of an eye, the maid saw the broken sword returned.
Blurred?
The maid rubbed her eyes and made sure the broken sword was still in place. Instead, the young wizard beside her looked at her in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, sir. Let's go to the doctor immediately." The maid said hurriedly.
…
Seeing that he had fooled the idiot, Richard secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect that the Miracle Furnace would devour the form as well as the information.
The moment he saw the broken sword disappear, Richard's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, the Miracle Furnace completed the refining in an instant, and the broken sword disappeared for only a moment before returning to its original position.
Return your gaze to the furnace.
Above the Miracle Furnace, a ball of white light rose and fell.
Richard used his mind to contact the white light, and in an instant, fleeting memories flashed through his mind.
He traveled through dangerous battlefields, wielding his sword and killing enemies one after another.
"Sir? Sir? Here comes the doctor."
The maid's voice woke Richard from his trance. His mind was still too weak and he would fall into a trance just by accepting the battle memories left by the strong men in the past.
"Oh, okay."
Richard came to his senses and hurried into the doctor's room.
Half an hour later, Richard walked out of the room weakly, holding on to the wall.
When performing trauma surgery, the doctor didn't have any anesthetics and could only use strong liquor to relieve the pain.
Fortunately, the doctor was quick enough and in less than half an hour he completed the removal of the rotten flesh, sutured the wound, and applied ointment.
At this time, Baron Delis also came to the second floor.
"Little wizard, the wizard is about to set off."
…
When he came outside the castle, Richard was wearing a brand new cotton coat. Although his face looked a little malnourished, his temperament was completely different from before.
"Well, it looks good." The black-robed wizard looked at Richard and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he waved his sleeves, and an inexplicable force wrapped up the seven people, and then hung beside the wizard like bubbles.
"This is the art of levitation. You will also be able to learn it in the academy later."
The black-robed wizard explained, then shot a fireball into the sky.
Bang!
The fireball exploded.
A beam of light pierced through the leaden cloud, passed through the exploding fireball and headed straight for the earth.
"This is?"
Richard looked at the sky. Behind the thick clouds, a huge gray outline was gradually becoming clear.
"Oh my god...what the hell is this thing?"
Richard's voice trembled, and he looked at the sky in disbelief.
I saw a floating airship hundreds of meters long poking its head out from the clouds like a blue whale, and the beam of light that pierced the clouds was the eye of this giant.
In a trance, Richard suddenly remembered a legend he heard when he was asking about the supernatural.
Legend has it that every ten years, a giant beast from the clouds would roam from the Northern Barbarian Mountains.
Its body is as big as a mountain and its eyes are as bright as lightning.
Now, the legend has shed its cloak!
The black-robed wizard opened his arms and led everyone to fly into the sky towards the beam of light, like a saint flying up to heaven.
Richard saw the black-robed wizard's mouth opening and closing, and a grand and joyful voice reached the ears of all qualified people.
"Young students, welcome aboard the Zeppelin Magic Airship."
