Conquest

    Chapter 129 [Trial]

    Harris is 54 years old, Mid Rank 6 Mage, good at Water Magic, and there are some out of the ordinary at the potion. There is also an interesting thing: he is the same age as the current Emperor Kontos, the empire, and he is fifty-four years old. Coincidentally, his birthday is the same as the Great Emperor of Lance.

    Harris Master is a gentleman of temperament – relative to other Mage. Most of Mage is a radical madman who likes to close himself up to pursue the mystery of magic. He hides in the lab all day to drum up all sorts of weird things, misbehaves and communicates with others, and is tired of most of the worldly things.

    Unlike Harris, he became a qualified Mage and stayed in the magic union. It became one of the few Mages on the mainland who was hired as a deacon by the magic union. There are some great benefits in the magic union, such as getting the latest news from some magic unions, using the channels in the union to get some affordable magic materials, a free lab, and the magic union. Ancient magic documents can also be read at will with their own authority.

    However, there is a need to lose, this truth unbreakable, as a deacon Mage, Harris must devote part of his energy to complete some of the work of the Union, although most of these jobs are easy: Now the Magic Union has a total of 20 deacons Mage, in order, each Mage You have to take a day or so a month to work in a union, deal with everyday affairs, and part of the effort to teach at Magic College, teach the Magic students the basic theory of magic and potions.

    Although there are 20 deacons in the union, most of them are not interested in these secular work. Some people in the college may do their best, and they just hope to find one or two excellent seedlings. Everyone can be slack in the daily work of the magic union.

    In order to put an end to the work of the Union, the president of the Magic Union, Rafael **, has laid down a rule that every Deacon Mage who is employed will be punished for one months of disqualification from the union's magic literature if he has three absent courses or work absenteeism in a trade union. This barely makes everyone's attitude to work a little more serious.

    Even so, the magic union has developed favorable conditions, and few of the truly powerful Mage are willing to work for the union. Those real powerhouses are still pursuing freedom like the wild crane. Most of the deacons in the magic union are now Mid Rank.

    Harris's job in the union is mainly to teach potions, and there must be two days a month to handle official duties in the union's office. His mana has reached the top level of the sixth level. According to the current situation, in the next three years, he may have the opportunity to advance to the seventh level and become a senior Mage. But it depends on luck, but it also takes a lot of time to practice.

    He has recently considered whether it is necessary to resign from the appointment of the deacon, after all, if he can become a senior mage before the age of 55 and get the title of "Big Mage", it will be a glorious thing for any mage, but the president of the Magic Union, His Excellency Rafael, has been very helpful to himself, Due to face, but slow to open this mouth.

    Today, it was the time when Harris was in charge of the deacon's duties. He boringly signed several documents about purchasing a batch of magic medicine in the office, and closed the door to prepare for stealing meditation for a while. It was at this time that someone had disturbed him.

    The guy who came into the room called himself "Tatara." For this name, Harris seemed to have some impressions. He thought about it for a while before remembering the name.

    The guy who came in was claiming to be Mage. Harris's attitude was quite polite, but when he remembered who this guy was, a face immediately came to the plate: it was this guy, it was a shame in the magic world!

    "What?"Harris listened very hard to Tatara's narrative and frowned. "Mr. Tatara, you came here, would you like to ask the magic union to restore your reputation?"

    "Yes."Tatara is very respectful when facing Harris. This respectfulness is not like when faced with hillbilly: "Respected Harris Lord, I have enough money to pay back the debts I owe, I will I will handle all these things well. My request is to ask the magic union to restore my honor as a Mage…After all, I have a qualified formal Mage qualification and I am a graduate of the Magic Academy. ”

    "I am sorry, I can't promise you."Harris frowned: "Just a few months ago, the things you committed caused a lot of trouble to the magic union. According to the magic union regulations, the glory of the union is shameful for your dishonorable behavior. Officially canceled your Mage status. This is the unified opinion of the trade union deacons committee, so…I have to regret to tell you that your Mage status has been revoked, we have tried to recover your Mage badge, but at the time did not find you. ”

    Tatara’s expression was awkward. At that time, he was already in debt and fled to Primal Wildfire…

    "How about this."Harris waved impatiently: "According to the Magic Union Regulations, you can apply to regain Mage status, but according to the penalty system, you must pass the level of assessment, so…If you want to apply, we will arrange an assessment within one month after submitting the report. ”

    After that, Harris looked at the gate with his eyes, which means: If there is nothing, please let me go.

    Leapfrog assessment?

    Tatara is dumbfounded.

    The leapfrog assessment means that whenever a Mage is punitively canceled the official qualification of Mage because he violates the rules of the magic union, he must re-evaluate if he wants to re-qualify, but when assessing, he must go to the assessment. Take the jump test. And this leapfrog rule is to jump two levels!

    That is to say, in the current situation of Tatara, his original first-class wizard qualification was canceled, then if you want to return to the Mage ranks, you must go directly to the "three-level wizard"!

    What a joke! !

    At the beginning of the first-level assessment, I was forced to fight through the old life, let myself directly test the third level? ! If I have three levels of strength, will I still be so miserable? !

    ButIf you don't take the test, then you don't have a formal Mage qualification…

    Although the strength belongs to strength, the real expert can not care about the nominal level. As long as your strength really reaches the 7th and 8th grades, let him officially give you a formal badge. Your strength is there anyway…

    But for grassroots Mage like Tatara, a formal grade title is extremely important.

    First, the official Mage can receive a non-financed allowance from the magic union each year (he also plans to use the money to redeem himself from Shaar.)Then, only those with formal mage qualifications will be able to enjoy the treatment of Mage at the Church Magic Union division across the empire, such as free accommodation, free use of magic array from the Magic Union division everywhere, and the purchase of magic materials at very low prices Material (a significant part of the magic material is contraband on the mainland, only in the Magic trade union can be bought, although there are also on the black market, but the price is much higher, and the amount of supply is very small and unstable.) ）

    Also, only the legal Mage recognized by the magic union can enter the magic union to access some magic documents. For Tatara, a ghostless ghost with no teacher, it is essential to further enhance his strength. A ring.

    The most important point: only the official Mage recognized by the magic union, there are legal immunity and legal protection in the empire! ! Mage commits general blame and is legally exempt from impunity and is protected by law. This is also extremely important for grassroots like Tatara! At the beginning, he was able to flow from Imperial Capital to Primal Wildfire alone, relying on a magic badge, and the thieves robbers along the way did not dare to provoke him.

    Tatara's face was extremely ugly. He looked at Harris and saw that the Lord seemed to be impatient. Tatara hesitated and finally showed a faint sullen look on his face: "So…Harris Lord, can I choose…Trial! ”

“？？”Harris stunned, and he subconsciously sat up straight and couldn't help but look at the guy in front of him.

    Trial? He actually chose to try?

    Judging from past records, this first-class Mage called Tatara is a timid, cuddly, greedy and courageous guy. Because of this, he has given the magic union such a big reputation.

    Now this guy…How did it become so kind? !

    "You really decided to try?"

    "Yes."Tatara took a deep breath.

    There was a glimmer of color in Harris's eyes.

    When Tatara walked down the stairs, his expression was like a patient who had been declared a terminal illness. He was so sad that he couldn’t move his face.

    After walking down the steps, I saw that Shaar was looking at a Mage in the hall. Both of them had a strange expression. Shaar smiled very strangely, and the Mage was obviously timid and his eyes were dodging.

    Can see the other person's face, Tatara can not help but see.

    "Is it? Bidardo? ! ”

    Bidardo was thinking about how to get rid of Shaar. He was suddenly called. He looked up and saw Tatara coming down the stairs. His face also showed a surprised expression: "Ah? It's you, Tatara! ”

    Tatara strode down, enthusiastic and bidardo hugged a bit, as if the old friend met in general, but two people hugged although warm, a hug after an instant separation, Tatara A pinch of bidardo one wrist, that hand is reaching into the left pocket of Tatara, and Bidardo Hum, strangled Tatara's other hand, the hand of the finger has been probed into the bidardo waist of a skin bag …

    The two looked at each other and smiled a little at the same time. At the same time, they laughed and quickly separated. It seemed that nothing had happened. The expression on the face was more calm and calm.

    "Haha! Actually it is your guy, I don’t think there is a day of reunion! ”

    "Bidardo, this guy is really good, it seems that the mana has been improved a lot recently."

    The next side of Shaar looked stunned. Looking at the two people laughing in the knife, the smile of the skin did not laugh, could not help but ask: "Do you know?"

    "Of course I do."Tatara made a haha: "This Bidardo, but my classmates at the Magic Academy! We are very good friends. ”

    Said, Tatara's eyes jumped. Bidardo had a lot of guilty feelings because of Shaar's side, but he still secretly returned Tatara with a fierce look.

    Shaar is funny, it seems that these two guys are really "good friends."

    "Since it is a reunion of old friends, then you must find a place to have a drink."

    Bidardo immediately said: "Not bad! To celebrate your return to Imperial Capital, please! I know that a pub is quite good. ”

    After a pause, Bidardo looked at Shaar: "But this gentleman…you are

    Tatara hesitated and looked at Shaar. Shaar sighed and smiled. "Well, I am the samurai squire of Tatara."

    Tatara immediately cast a grateful look and immediately raised his chin against Bidardo.

    In the Mage circle, you can use your own samurai squire, which is a symbol of identity.

    Bidardo sneaked, but then he sneered. Samurai squire? Stop joking around. If it's someone else, but Shaar, Bidardo knows the fierceness of this guy. This Tatara is similar to his own strength. Where is the qualification to recruit such a powerful squire?

    But what…Looking at Shaar, Bidardo sighed. When he met this guy, he was bad luck. Take them away first, then go outside and find a chance to get rid of it.

    Fortunately, it seems that this hunter named Shaar does not seem to retaliate…

    Tatara has Shaar stand up, in front of Bidardo set up a shelf, holding his head out of the Magic Union Gate, three people out, Tatara deliberately and Bidardo said some of the past, two lips spear tongue sword, words clip spear with stick, but t Atara has Shaar in the side, Bidardo dare not arrogant, let Tatara sarcastic a few words also dare not answer back, it makes Tatara heart big cool, only feel and this guy fight for so many years, today finally raised eyebrows once.

    Out of the magic union, the cathedral passed through the central square. After coming outside, Shaar took the opportunity to pull Tatara and deliberately took a few steps. He whispered: "What does this guy have to do with you?"

    Tatara whispered: "Hey, grab the food."

    Immediately, Tatara explained a few words. It turned out that the two were graduated from the same period in the magic college. They were all limited in talent, and the magic domain was not high, but the temper was despicable and greedy cunning. In order to make a living, the two can only find a way to lie in the Imperial Capital to lie to some of the little aristocrat and fat sheep that are not well-informed, to lie to eat and lie, to live on a mixed day.

    But Imperial Capital is so big, and the two people are the same in life. It is inevitable that there will be some frictional collisions. Occasionally, there are some fat sheep that both of them are fancy. They have some secret battles and secretly dismantle each other. In a few years, I have a lot of resentment. It’s just that Bidardo has a bit more forbearance than Tatara. As a result, Tatara has been out of favor for most of the time, and Bidardo is fortunate to be under a real Mage, while Tatara is a bachelor and loses momentum. Too much. Gradually, Bidardo is crowded out and can't get mixed. In the end, even the livelihoods could not be maintained, and the debts were absconded. Among them, Bidardo’s “credit” was also among them.

    Shaar listened, couldn't help but laugh a little, and whispered that he knew Bidardo's passing. Tatara listened to his eyes and gave birth to a thought. He deliberately said indignantly: "A good guy! He bullied me many times that year, so forget it, and dare to lie to the Master! This time, you must give a good lesson to him! ”

    Shaar snorted and tilted Tatara and said, "You have to take revenge, but you want to lie to me to give you a head. It is a dream." You practiced the life of Curse Spell yourself, just take him to try your hand. ”

    "This, that Life Magic is going to cost life force, I am worried…"Tatara is somewhat retreating, and Shaar blinks: "Crap, if you change this power, don't use it, don't you wait for it to be moldy?" This does not dare to use, that is also reluctant, you still use life to change the power to do! ”

    Said, a pull tatara catch up in front of the Bidardo, Bidardo Heart is thinking about the countermeasure, thought to take two people to that tavern, where a lot of friends they know, as well as King City 4 talents Other three people are also there, to provoke some, in Imper Ial Capital This place, after all, is snake, then crowds, also just reported Primal Wildfire Vendetta.

    The three men left the church on horseback and walked along and talked. Shaar asked Tatara about the progress of the union. Tatara’s mood suddenly fell and he sighed: “Hey…They need my Mage qualification, so I have to make a trial! ”

    "Trial?"

    "Trial!!"

    Hearing this sentence, Shaar and Bidardo spoke at the same time, but Shaar was confused, and Bidardo was surprised.

    "What is trial?"Shaar asked, next to Bidardo, looked at Tatara with a puzzled look: "You…Did you really choose a trial? ”

    Tatara snorted: "My Mage qualification has been cancelled. You will not know it at Imperial Capital. Why bother to be so surprised."

    Bidardo smiled: "Old friends, don't say that. No matter how, you and I have been together for many years, watching you fall, my heart is not good. ”Speaking, he said in his heart: When I knew that you were disqualified, Father had even drank three glasses of wine to celebrate that day.

    Tatara snorted and ignored the guy and explained to Shaar: "Trial is a special way of assessing Mage that is punished in violation of the regulations in the magic union. For me, to restore my reputation and restore my Mage qualification, in addition to re-acceptance of the leapfrog assessment, only accept the trial of this one. The so-called trial, inside the magic union, will release some of the tasks announced in the trade unions. Generally speaking, they are applications for some demand uploaded by the magic union branch, such as a shortage of magic materials, or where There is a demon beast raging, and people need to calm down…The task has a lot of difficulty levels, and luck is good. The task of the trial may simply be to go somewhere to dig a few ordinary magic ores, or collect some magic plants. If you are not lucky, you may be sent to destroy a high-level demon beast that is raging in a place…Eh…

    Shaar stunned, and Bidardo next to him had some gloating: "If you can choose a trial, you can take three tasks at a time, and then the testee himself can extract what he thinks is the least difficult. only ifYou are not lucky, the three tasks you have drawn are very difficult…Well, Tatara, look at you, I’m afraid the difficulty of getting the task is not low! ”

    Although he resisted the smile, his smile on his face had already accumulated.

    Tatara snorted and found three sheepskin reels from his arms.

    "These are the three tasks I randomly extracted…Eh…

    As he said, his frowning face caused Shaar's curiosity. He took it and quickly opened the first one…

    Just as he opened his hands, Tatara suddenly changed his face and shouted: "No! Don't open it! ! ”

    But he said it late!

    Shaar's movements were too fast, and the reel was unfolded. The wooden shaft of the reel immediately flashed a silvery light, and the handwriting on the reel quickly ushered in silver!

    Shaar glanced at it and saw a simple sentence written in Magic on the parchment. After this line of words flashed through the silver light, the corner of the reel quickly ignited the flame, and in a moment the sheepskin roll was turned into ashes in the flame. Shaar was shocked and quickly let go, but saw Tatara's eyes wide open, his face as gray, staring at Shaar.

    "Is it? you……How is your face so ugly? ”

    Tatara rides on the horse, shaking his body, crying and crying: "You…You can't open it! Once opened, it represents the acceptance of this task…Oh no! It’s over. The reel was triggered and the magic contract has taken effect! Hell…When I came out, I signed the name with magic imprint on it! ”

    Next to Bidardo finally couldn’t help but smile: "This…This younger brother, you are moving too fast. There are three kinds of tasks that can be extracted. I can read it once when I withdraw it. After I take it back, I can carefully consider it and decide to choose one of them before I can open the selected scroll. Once opened, it represents magic. The contract came into effect and it is irreversible…"

    Looking at Tatara's unmanned look, Shaar realized that he was only in trouble, and frowned. "Sorry…Well, is this task difficult? ”

    Tatara was crying and sulking: "The three tasks are very difficult. I originally wanted to take some time to think about it and see which one might accept it, maybe…In the end, I simply gave up the trial. As long as the scroll has not been opened, I can still go back. Now…"

    Shaar grabbed his head and smiled and said: "This…Can I still return now? If it is too difficult, I will accompany you back and tell them that the trial is cancelled. ”

    Bidardo whispered aside: "Cancel…Well, it is not impossible. Just, try this kind of thing, choose trials is not compulsive, but once the contract comes into effect, then want to cancel, or can not be completed, then even if the task fails, and the task fails, according to the magic union regulations, trial Never give up Mage again for eternal life…"

    Tatara listened, and Bidardo glanced at him. Bidardo rolled his eyes: "Old friend, it doesn't matter if you are angry with me, it's not that I took your scroll…"

    Shaar is free to fight Tatara on weekdays, but after all, Tatara is his own person. He just took his hand too fast and caused trouble to this guy. He was also a little embarrassed in his heart. When he thought about it, he said: "In this case, this Trial I will help you complete it…If it doesn't work, this Mage is not right. Well, this triggered the reel of the contract. What is the mission? ”

    Tatara swallowed and whispered: "Requirement: Magic Fragrance Taro ten. Time limit: one hundred days. ”

    His face was quite unwilling, and he gnawed his teeth: "Actually, the other two tasks, if you really think about it, the difficulty level may be slightly smaller…Oh, don't say it! Anyway, you have already opened this, and it doesn't make sense to say the other two. ”

    “Magic Fragrance Taro?”Shaar thought for a moment: "What is this? Hard to find? ”

    Bidardo next to the name, but immediately widened his eyes, looked up and down Tatara, could not help but take a breath, blurted out: "Magic Fragrance Taro? Did you actually get the task of Magic Fragrance Taro? My goodness! Tatara, I don’t think that your luck is still so back for so many years! ! ”

    Shaar was a little impatient and gave Bidardo a sinful look: "You shut up Father! Say another word, I knocked out your mouth full of teeth! ”

    Then I looked at Tatara: "This Magic Fragrance Taro, is it hard to find?"

    "Well, it's not hard to find. It can be said that its location is very clear. Almost any Mage knows where this stuff grows."

    "Eh ……So, it must be dangerous? Must be a very dangerous, highly lethal magic plant? ”

    NoTatara sighed: "Magic Fragrance Taro is a very beautiful flower. The flower itself has no lethality, but it has a magical effect. It picks the flowers and puts the stems on the human skin. It can grow in the human skin, and at the same time extract the emotions of the host, and the flowers will bear fruit. For example, if the host is in a state of panic, then the fruit will be filled with the spiritual power of fear. If you are a brave warrior, you can bear the fruits of courage. And there are other kinds of fruits, such as hatred, joy, sadness…Wait, etc., the host's emotions, the fruits are different categories. The fruit can be used in the magic of the spirit, which is a very precious magic plant. ”

    "Then why do you seem to be dying?"Shaar has some doubts: "This thing is not difficult to find, and it is not dangerous."

    ThisTatara bit his teeth: "Magic Fragrance Taro, everyone knows where it grows, but where it grows, it's a bit difficult…"

    “Where is it?”

    Tatara bit his teeth: "The leader of chaos… the territory of the elf race, and…It was only in the territory ruled by Dark Elf that there was such a thing. ”
