Chapter 2 002: Introduction to Runic Language

There was a brief silence on the deck, followed by a boiling excitement.

"98 points! Another 98 points! 0.5 mental strength, the same as Joshua!"

"How did he do that!?"

"Who is this guy? Does anyone know?"

The apprentices were obviously shocked by this sudden result. No one could have imagined that such a ruthless character would appear when the assessment was nearing the end.

Even the wizard Seno was stunned.

He looked up at Luo Xi and asked in confusion: "Tell me your name, apprentice."

"Rohi, Rohi Herat, mentor."

Wizard Senor looked at the list and said, "Third-class talent?"

There was a more friendly smile on his face: "Excellent kid, I never thought there would be such a surprise on this trip."

It is not easy to catch up with fourth-level talent with third-level talent. If you can keep it up, you will definitely stand out among apprentices with the same talent in the future.

All kinds of eyes were focused on Luo Xi, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were disgusted.

Why wasn't I the one who achieved good results? Even Joshua looked at Luo Xi twice, but that was all. He had been reading books and accumulating basic magic knowledge during this period, and he was far from doing his best in practice.

The assessment continues until it ends.

In the cabin, Luo Xi was resting, when there was a knock on the door.

“Boom boom boom!”

"Who is it?" Luo Xi called out in confusion.

"Your classmates, can you open the door?" A crisp voice came from outside the door, and it seemed to be a girl.

Rosie walked over and opened the door.

Outside the door, there were four children standing, two boys and two girls. Among them were the girl who was tested initially and the tall boy, and the rest were a pair of siblings.

Several of them had performed very well in previous tests, so Luo Xi had a good impression of them.

The girl lifted her skirt and bowed, then greeted gracefully: "Hello, Apprentice Luo Xi, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Nicole from Osiris."

"We live on the same floor as you, can we get to know each other?"

Luo Xi made way for him: "Nice to meet you."

It was obvious that the person was trying to make friends with him, and he didn't mind that. Appropriate interpersonal communication can help broaden one's horizons.

The girl did not go in, but invited: "The cabin is too narrow, let's go to the restaurant to talk."

Luo Xi nodded: "Okay."

The restaurant is on the second floor of the deck. It is open 24 hours a day and is fully staffed. You can get food at any time and it is completely free.

Arriving at the restaurant, they chose a seat with a wide view and sat down. They ordered some food. Luo Xi was not hungry at the moment so he just asked for a bowl of morning dew for himself.

This is a special drink, which is made by collecting morning dew with special magic instruments and mixing it with fruit juice, honey, etc. It tastes fresh and refreshing with a morning sweetness, which is very good.

While drinking, Nicole introduced several apprentices to Luo Xi in detail.

The tall boy's name was Jobri, and he came from the Verdant Plains, a piece of land south of the Vysonna Islands. Luo Xi had only heard of it before.

The other brother and sister were from the Kingdom of Brook, which was a neighbor of the Kingdom of Rudin, Luo Xi's hometown, and he was relatively more familiar with them.

The brother's name is Ryan and the sister's name is Lily, very ordinary names.

"We're about to arrive at the South Coast Alliance. Do you have any wizarding organizations that you're interested in joining?" Nicole started talking while drinking.

Everyone shook their heads, looking confused.

Before coming here, they were all just children from ordinary families. Wizards were just legends told by bards to them, and they knew nothing about this strange world.

Luo Xi's expression changed, and he asked, "Do you know what wizard organizations there are?"

Nicole raised her chin slightly with a smug look on her face: "I'm afraid there are not many people on this ship who can answer this question, but I happen to be one of them. Hey! Hey, you better listen carefully."

Everyone pricked up their ears.

Nicole introduced: "The South Coast Alliance we are going to is located at the southernmost tip of the Wizarding Continent. There are hundreds of wizarding organizations of all sizes here."

Lily was surprised: "So many?"

Nicole nodded: "Of course! This is a wizard's world!"

After a pause, she continued, "However, the scales of these wizard organizations are very different. Powerful wizard organizations have tens of thousands of members, control several vast wizard domains, and control dozens of human countries with a population of tens of millions."

"A smaller wizard organization might be just an old wizard with a dozen apprentices in a wizard tower in the wilderness. They don't even have their own independent wizard domain. They have to rely on others and sometimes have to wander around without a fixed place to stay."

She reminded, "So you must be very cautious when choosing a wizard organization. If you go to an unreliable wizard organization, you will be in trouble. The possibility of being promoted to a wizard is basically zero."

Everyone's face was a little tense.

Luo Xi asked: "What are the better wizard organizations?"

Nicole said: "There are eight best wizard organizations, namely the Alchemy Workshop, Witch Castle, Sage's Hut, Ice Tower, Ramso Magic Academy, Boneyard, Bloodline Magic Academy, and Elemental Castle."

"The best one among them is definitely the Elemental Castle. They are the most powerful wizard organization in the South Coast Alliance and occupy the most fertile wizard area in the entire South Coast. If you can enter here, your resources for the future wizard path will be guaranteed."

Everyone showed a look of longing. Wizard Senor had mentioned the Elemental Castle to them before. It was basically a place that every apprentice wanted to go.

But then, Ryan said dejectedly, "I'm afraid we don't have a chance to enter the Elemental Castle. I heard from Wizard Senor that you need a score of 80 or 90 to enter. Lily and I only have a score of 70."

At this point, everyone's attention was focused on Luo Xi, as he was the only one who could be sure of victory.

Jobli couldn't help but ask, "Luo Xi, how did you do it? I feel like I've worked hard enough. I've been meditating every day for the past month and haven't even left the cabin much, but I only got 80 points."

Luo Xi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm just lucky."

Nicole comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Although we may not be able to enter the Elemental Castle, it should be no problem for us to join the remaining wizard organizations. Choose one that you like and that matches your talents, and you may have better development in the future."

Luo Xi raised an eyebrow: "Is there any difference in the training between wizard organizations?"

Nicole nodded: "Of course."

"Each wizard organization has its own expertise. For example, the Alchemy Workshop is good at alchemy, while the Ice Tower has unique insights into ice magic. The Boneyard is keen on necromancy, and the Bloodline Magic Academy has been studying bloodline magic, etc."

"If you can enter a wizard organization that suits your talents, it may not be worse than the Elemental Tower."

At this point, she asked, "By the way, what are your elemental affinities?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Elemental affinities are divided into earth, water, fire, wind, light, dark, and plants. The higher the affinity attribute, the easier it is to learn spells of the corresponding element.

Jobri is fire and darkness.

Ryan is earth, wood and water.

Lily represents water and earth.

Roshi is water and wind.

Nicole said, "When we get to the Wizarding Continent, each wizarding organization will mark out what they are good at in advance. Then you can make your choice based on the route you want to take and your elemental affinity."

"But remember one thing, give priority to the eight major wizard organizations. Don't believe others easily no matter how fantastic they say. Only consider other options if you can't get into the eight major wizard organizations."

Everyone nodded and silently took note of the information Nicole revealed.

Luo Xi also summarized and organized the ideas in his mind very seriously.

"Complete an effort to listen to the wizard world's message, resulting in a critical hit, time +3 days."

Oh my!

The gains from this trip were quite significant.

While Luo Xi was thinking, Nicole suddenly asked him: "Apprentice Luo Xi, in your case, it should be the Elemental High Castle, right?"

Luo Xi hesitated for a moment: "I think so. I'm not sure now. What about you?"

"It's me~"

Nicole smiled playfully and said, "If I become your classmate, will you help me in the future?"

Luo Xi said casually: "Of course."

Nicole said jokingly, "It's a deal then, no cheating allowed."

"As a promise gift"

Having said that, she opened the small leather bag she carried with her and took out a book.

It has a black cover and a hard shell with incomprehensible text on it.

She placed the book in front of Luo Xi and said, "This is the Rune Language. We will all use it in the wizarding world in the future. Take it and read it first. I will teach you if you don't understand."

Then she turned to the others and said, "Everyone, follow along and learn together. I'll teach you if you don't understand."

Rune language? Luo Xi took the book and flipped through it. The twisted characters looked like earthworms, very strange.

After returning to the cabin, Nicole began her teaching, first teaching Luo Xi and the others the basic reading and writing rules.

It is not easy to master a strange language. After listening for a whole afternoon until dinner time, everyone still had only a vague understanding of it. It was like a mystery to us.

Nicole was not surprised by this. According to her, it took her several months to barely understand it at the beginning, and even now she couldn't say that she had fully mastered it.

Since this is relatively important knowledge, Luo Xi thought about it and decided that it would be better to master it as soon as possible, so after returning to the dormitory, he spent the time he had just saved on it.

"Do you want to spend 6 days to learn the Rune Language?"

"yes."

[You begin to study the Rune Language, devoting yourself to it and forgetting to eat and sleep.]

[Six days have passed, and you can finally understand a little.]

【Rune Language: Introduction.】

A large amount of complicated and unfamiliar knowledge flooded into Luo Xi's mind, and his whole head suddenly felt sore and swollen.

After regaining his composure, he picked up the black book on the table and looked at the strange symbol again. It no longer seemed so strange.

He moved his mouth and read out: "Ramoth Runic Language Basic Vocabulary."
