Broad World
Chapter 15 Becoming an Apprentice
Henry continued to move forward in the maze, and what he ate just now did not bring much energy. The fresh water produced also cannot replace the severely lost salt. If the test is not completed within an hour, he will start to fatigue. Immediately after, weakness in the limbs, dizziness and nausea will follow. If it exceeds three hours, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps will begin, and vision will be affected. I thought I had to speed up the pace.
After fifteen minutes of fast marching, he came to the fifth level. Here is a room with a dead baby on a table. Sitting on either side of the table is a beautiful woman and an ugly man. They are a couple. Asked and learned that the man and the woman accused each other of killing their children. The rule was that Henry could ask each of them three questions. Then decide who is the murderer. Henry carefully observed the dead baby for a while, and there was no scar on his body. His face turned black and he died of poisoning. After thinking about it, I decided to ask the woman first.
"The first question, Ms., do you love your child?" Henry carefully observed the woman's expression.
The woman said sadly: "Of course, my child is all I have. My heart will be broken to learn that he died."
"The second question, your children usually like you more or like their father more."
"Of course my baby loves mother the most, he only eats my milk."
"Last question, do you usually change your child's diaper?" After asking this question, he glanced at the woman's hand and found that it was smooth.
"Yes, I change his diaper regularly every day." The woman replied.
Turn around and come to the man and say to him: "Sir, I'm going to start asking questions now, are you ready?"
"Ask whatever you want, anyway, I have nothing to lose now." The man's face was blank, as if there was nothing worthy of his concern in this world.
"The first question is whether your child likes you more or likes mother more."
"Of course it's me. I'm the only one who will always be there for him. Whenever my little one cries, I'll pick him up right away."
"The second question is who usually feeds the children."
"Mother of the child, the child only eats the milk that her mother feeds him."
"One last question, can I have a look at your hands." The man stretched out his hands and said, "Here, take a look." After Henry looked at it, he found that the man's hands were covered with calluses.
"I declare now," Henry pointed at the woman. "The murderer is her. Because first of all, people who change diapers frequently must have rough hands, and second, the baby's diaper changing time is impossible to fix. So the mother has been lying. In the end, the child's body did not have any wounds, but died of poisoning. The baby can only be fed breast milk, most likely the mother poisoned the milk.
Having said that both of them and the baby disappeared, a hole opened in the wall of the room. When he passed through the wall, the magic words appeared again. 5 points You are not confused by the appearance of things, keen observation and careful reasoning allow you to find the correct answer.
Huh, just complete another level perfectly. He will be able to pass smoothly. After re-entering the maze, I made some water and poured myself from head to toe, refreshing my tired brain a little. The maze in the sixth level is extraordinarily complex and time consuming. It's been half an hour. Haven't reached the end yet. Henry felt that his physical strength was about to reach its limit, and he had already started to feel weak in his limbs. The original fast walking could not be maintained.
I really want to lie on the ground and stay awake, this is his current state. After another ten minutes of hard walking, he finally saw a little light in the huge dark room ahead, which should be a gem. Here is the sixth level. When he was about to enter the room, he suddenly became alert, turned backwards suddenly, and a huge spider pounced on the place where he was standing just now.
After turning over, he took out the scimitar and threw it at the big spider. The sharp scimitar cut off the spider's right two feet, causing it to temporarily lose its balance and fell to the ground. Henry quickly took the opportunity to cast a spell, and the spell was completed when the spider limped and was about to approach. "Invisibility" Then his body slowly disappeared into the air. The giant star spider rushed to nothing. Henry quickly walked through the spiders into the room and found that it was everywhere. I'd better get the gem quickly before it comes back. Spiders can sense their prey.
Come to the stone platform and watch a yellow gemstone emit a soft magical light. Henry didn't take it directly. "Mage's Hand" He carefully lifted the gem out of thin air while maintaining a safe distance. "Boom" An explosion occurred the moment the gemstone left the stone platform. The flames devoured everything within ten meters. Henry controlled the mage's hand and finally got the gem in his hand.
A light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the room. The nurse looked at Henry with a smile and said, "Very good boy, you showed your tenacity in the last level, your cautious attitude towards magic and your vigilance towards the environment are perfect. I'll give you a low score. You've already got A total of 30 points, and now you are my apprentice. Call me a tutor from today. You can have a reading room on the third floor, and the first three rows of bookshelves in the library on the second floor are open to you for free. You can use it every day 5% of the energy of the magic tower is used for research and item manufacturing. If you need to apply to me in advance before using the summoning. The magic items you create will be sold by me, and you can get 60% of the income. If you need a magic scroll or I need to cast spells according to 50 gold coins for first-level spells, 100 gold coins for second-level spells, 0 gold coins for third-level spells, 400 gold coins for fourth-level spells, and so on. You can ask me ten questions for free every month, generally concentrated in the monthly The first day. After that, each question will be charged according to its difficulty. Do you understand all of the above?"
Henry took a deep breath. "Yes, my mentor, I understand everything." The grand master smiled. "Come with me, I'll take you to your room." Then he turned and walked out of the room and up the stairs. Henry hurriedly picked up all the things on the ground, and beckoned his magic gun to follow.
"By the way, I have to tell you one more thing. You are not the only apprentice here. There is also a child named Merikan who is also studying here." Speaking of which, the old man obviously sighed. "However, I don't recommend that you get in touch too much. His attitude towards magic is a bit radical. He always likes to do things beyond his control. He has already caused three explosions this month and messed up his room."
Merican? Isn't this a mage who turned himself into a chicken twice in the game? It turned out that he was already so fierce during his apprenticeship. Henry wiped his sweat. "Please don't worry, what I need most now is theoretical knowledge. I don't plan to conduct magic experiments in the near future. I will read more books first." But I want you to rest assured that I must stay away from him. This is a dangerous person, I must stay away from him.
**The teacher smiled gratifiedly. "What I admire the most is your caution about magic. Merikan seems to lack a sense of reverence for magic. Only a cautious mage can live and remember for a long time." After that, the two came to the door of a room. "Your room is here, go in by yourself. If you need anything, tell Taling. His name is Freeman." The archmage left after speaking.
After Henry watched the archmage leave, he pushed open the door. A large suite with a bedroom inside. The toilet has a bathtub and a toilet with clean water flowing at all times. The outside is a workshop, and various necessary instruments are piled up on the alchemy test bench. This will be my home for some time to come. Let's take a shower and go to the library to have a look.
After taking a shower, I changed into a clean piece of clothing. Henry began to contact Tarling. "Freeman, what should I do with the dirty clothes I took off?"
"Put him in the wooden barrel at the door, and the housekeeper golem will be responsible for cleaning it. After washing, he will be sent back to your room." Taring immediately gave the answer.
"How about the three meals?"
"Say out the name of the dish you want to eat on the plate in the bedroom. It will be sent up automatically. After eating, yell at the plate to clear it, and it will become empty again. The recipe is placed next to the plate in the bedroom. Excuse me Are there any other questions?"
Henry thought for a while and felt that there was no problem for the time being. He said to Freeman, "Not for the time being. If there is any problem, I will contact you at any time."
"At your service sir."
Back in the bedroom, Henry picked up the menu and was taken aback. More than two hundred dishes above are ready to serve. "Beef in sauce, pumpkin juice." After ordering a main course and a glass of juice, I started eating. After eating, he said: "Clean up." All the leftovers disappeared. "Magic is really convenient." He began to envy those mages with magic towers.
Go down to the second floor and come to the library. The golem at the door let him in after confirming his identity. There are a lot of books here. There are eight bookshelves in a row, and there are 500 books on each shelf. There are a total of seven rows of books that the Grand Master allowed him to read in the first three rows, that is, twelve thousand books are waiting for him to read. After a brief look, skip the ones about geography and history first, and then skip the ones about gods. Skip the ones about plant monsters again. In the end, it was confirmed that there were fifty books that needed to be read first. He first took the enlightenment of magic, the principle of magic, the history of magic, arcane geometry, the principle of alchemy, and spellcasting skills. Wait for the basics to be ready to take back to the room and read slowly.
Holding six books in his arms, Henry returned to his room, first opened the history of magic and read it carefully. The word count of the book is not many, and I finished it in less than two hours. Generally speaking, the elves are using powerful magic to ruin their world, and then open the passage to the ancient Faerun continent in the Toril world. After the war with the dragon and several crown wars, the continent was blown to pieces by them, and magic was taught to humans. After the Netheril people discovered the Netheril scrolls, a glorious modern magic civilization began. Human beings abandoned the magic taught by the elves and learned the knowledge above. After learning, they created the Miser energy core and created the floating city. Later, it developed into the eight major schools of magic, and almost all the magic knowledge in modern times was passed down from that era.
