Chapter 5 005: The Wizard's Camp
There is an open area ahead, which stands out in the dense forest.
The open space was as lively as a market, with tents set up, horse-drawn carriages parked, and even street vendors.
However, the products are all strange things, such as eyeballs soaked in bottles, dried frogs and lizards, etc.
They could see many apprentices of similar age coming and going, making it quite lively.
Wizard Senor explained, "Every year on Apprentice Day, some people come here to sell small items to earn magic stones. You can take a look and buy them if you are interested. Five magic stones can buy a lot of good things here."
Every apprentice with the potential to be a wizard will receive a reward of five magic stones when he or she boards the ship, which is given by the Alliance.
Wizard Senor then pointed to a group of tents and said, "Over there are various wizard organizations. Choose the wizard organization you want to go to and tell us your name."
He then pointed to the open space on the other side and said, "If you don't find a suitable wizard organization before sunset, go over there and the Alliance will make unified arrangements."
"Okay, let's stop here. Luo Xi, please stay for a while."
The apprentices soon dispersed, and Wizard Seno came to Luo Xi, with Joshua beside him.
He first said to Joshua: "You go to the carriage first, Joshua."
Joshua nodded and left.
Wizard Senor then asked Luo Xi, "Luo Xi, how is it? Do you have a wizard organization you like?"
After a pause, he got straight to the point and said, "If you haven't made up your mind, then consider the Elemental Castle. You can't go wrong by choosing this place in the South Coast Alliance."
Luo Xi hesitated for a moment. Actually, he also wanted to go to the Elemental Castle, but at the same time, there were two other wizard organizations that interested him, namely the Alchemy Workshop and the Boneyard.
The alchemy workshop, the huge alchemy puppets and sophisticated alchemy equipment, the thought of having puppets that can be controlled at will makes people excited.
The burial ground is the wizarding organization that understands the human body structure best, so it is undoubtedly the best place to treat the legs.
Wizard Senor said: "There is nothing to worry about. The wizard organizations within the alliance move around frequently. If you feel that the Elemental Castle is not suitable for you in the future and want to join another wizard organization, it is fine as long as it is within the alliance."
I see.
After hearing what Wizard Senor said, Luo Xi stopped worrying and nodded, saying, "I'll follow your instructions, Master."
Although he didn't know why Wizard Seno was so active in luring him to the Elemental Castle, it was obviously not a wise choice to make enemies with an official wizard when he first arrived.
Wizard Seno then brought Luo Xi to a tent.
In front of the tent stood a large wooden sign with a pattern of a castle surrounded by the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind. Below it were the detailed requirements for joining the organization.
There were a circle of apprentices surrounding the tent, but few dared to enter. Occasionally one or two would go in, but eventually they would come out dejected.
“Oh, failed.”
"The overall score must be above 90 points. Who can get in?"
"We also need at least some basic magical knowledge. This is not even intended for us to enter."
"yes."
At this moment, Wizard Seno led Luo Xi to the front of the tent.
Seeing that Luo Xi was dressed plainly, many apprentices who failed the exam wanted to make fun of her to vent their depressed emotions, but they stopped talking when they saw the wizard Seno following her.
Luo Xi walked into the tent. There was a table at the innermost part of the tent. An old man with a long goatee sat in front of the table. He wore a big tall hat on his head and held an old pipe in his hand. He was exactly like the image of a wizard in his mind.
The old wizard was sitting at the table, looking at his pipe leisurely. The protruding smoke in the air changed into various patterns, such as sailboats, whales, castles, etc.
"Luke Old Pipe!" shouted the wizard Seno.
The old wizard turned around and hurriedly stood up and walked over when he saw that it was Senor. "I was wondering who was so bold. It turned out to be you, the hook nose. Why didn't I let you die in the sea? Are those black wizard bugs on holiday recently?"
Sino said: "It's been so many years and you still can't change your stinky mouth. Maybe it's because of smoking. Don't worry, I won't die even if your bones rot."
The two were so tit-for-tat that Luo Xi almost thought they were going to fight, but then they gave each other a big hug.
"Long time no see, my old friend!" said Wizard Seno.
"It's been a long time indeed. The last time we met was about 16 years ago. I didn't expect so many years have passed in the blink of an eye." The old wizard replied with a smile.
"Time is like this, it slips away inexplicably without you noticing." Seno sighed.
The old wizard shook his head: "This is not the time to be sentimental. We still have a long way to live. 16 years is nothing."
After a pause, he ended the topic and looked at Luo Xi next to him: "Is this the child you mentioned in your letter? He has a third-class talent but scored 98, catching up with the fourth-class talent?"
Wizard Senor nodded.
The old wizard's eyes became more and more curious, and suddenly he said half-jokingly: "It's really strange, how did you do it? Do you want me to cut you open and study you?"
Luo Xi: “.”
The old wizard laughed: "Haha, just a little joke, kid. We are not those crazy dark wizards. We will not spend our energy and thoughts on such boring and meaningless directions."
Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared just now. After all, Nicole mentioned to him on the boat that wizards are a group of people who are full of curiosity.
'It seems that I should keep a low profile in the future.'
Luo Xi silently reminded himself in his heart that being one step ahead of others is a sign of genius, but being too much ahead of others is worth studying. He didn't want to be sliced up for no reason.
Luke then got to the point: "Kid, how about it? Are you interested in our Elemental Castle?"
Luo Xi said seriously: "I really look forward to it."
"Complete an effort statement, time point +1 day."
Luke nodded: "I feel your spiritual will."
After a moment's silence, he continued, "According to the regulations, in addition to the mental assessment results, we also require apprentices to master a basic knowledge of magic."
This rule is not a hard and fast rule, and players with outstanding performance, such as Luo Xi, can be exempted.
Luo Xi asked in confusion: "Basic magical knowledge? Does rune language count?"
Luke was stunned: "You also know rune language?"
Wizard Seno was also confused, after all, Luo Xi was just an ordinary child before this.
Luo Xi nodded: "Nicole, who was traveling with me on the ship, taught me some things."
Wizard Senor suddenly realized, nodded to Luke and said: "A noble lady, her family has some connection with Wizard Croa."
Luke thought about it and suddenly asked, "You are water-element-affinity, right?"
Rosie nodded.
Wizard Luke then took out a parchment scroll covered with runes and handed it to Luo Xi: "Well, you read this scroll."
Luo Xi took it and read it down. Although he stumbled a bit, he basically understood the content. It seemed to be a spell model called "Water Ball Spell".
Luke was surprised: "You mean you learned the runic language in the month or two on this ship?"
Rosie nodded.
Luke and Seno looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Such comprehension ability was really terrifying.
Luke said to the wizard Senor with some jealousy: "Old man, you made a fortune this time."
What Luo Xi didn't know was that the Seno wizards would receive rewards for pulling in heads, a fourth-level talent, and a small monster. The rewards from the organization were definitely not cheap.
Wizard Senor's face was full of smiles: "Same here."
Luo Xi returned the scroll to Wizard Luke, but Wizard Luke did not accept it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I'll give this to you as a gift to celebrate our acquaintance."
With such a talent, there is a relatively high probability that one will make great achievements on the path of a wizard in the future. It is not a loss to use low-level spell models that are not worth a few magic stones to get some personal favors now.
Wizard Luke then awarded Luo Xi an apprentice cloak, a badge, and a short-handled staff.
He put on his cloak and the wizard Senor helped him tidy it up.
Looking at the wide cuffs and the mysterious runes on the cloak, Luo Xi's heart suddenly surged. From this moment on, he was truly on the path of a wizard.
"Complete one effort excitement, time point +1 day."
Roshi walks out of the tent.
There were more apprentices gathered in front of the tent door at this moment than before, and when they saw the cloak on Luo Xi and the badge on his chest, they were all surprised.
"Passed! It's the apprentice just now!"
"No way? He's dressed like an ordinary civilian, how could he get through?"
“It doesn’t seem that difficult.”
All pairs of eyes were focused on Luo Xi, and whispers were heard one after another, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were eager to try.
Luo Xi ignored it and left the crowd silently.
The matter of the wizard organization was settled. In a while, they would take the badge and ride in the exclusive carriage of the Elemental Castle. There was still some time before that, so Luo Xi decided to stroll around the market.
"Roshi!"
At this moment, Luo Xi heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Jobri and Ryan, brother and sister, walking towards him.
The three of them were now wearing cloaks and badges, and had obviously chosen their own wizarding organizations.
