Chapter 21 Section 21. "Magic Breaking the Sky"

["Magic Power, three stages!"]

[Looking at the dazzling words on the magic stele, Sean clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into the flesh...]

["Three stages? As expected, this year's 'genius' has been standing still again."]

["This rubbish has simply lost the face of the family!"]

[...]

The notebook slowly fell, revealing the eyes on the upper edge.

"How is it?"

Annan stood aside expectantly, waiting for the knowledgeable bard to give some advice.

"Did you write this?" The bard glanced at the beginning again, "What are the three stages of magic power and the magic stele?"

"I don't know much about the system of magic..." Annan asked Mr. Victor, but he refused to answer this stupid question and asked Annan to find it in the library. Annan couldn't find it, so he had to write it down casually and make some changes later.

"So it's the mage rank and affinity? And why are mages considered useless? This Sean is very old?"

"Sean is a young man... What is affinity?"

"The division of magic aptitude test, don't you even know this?"

For Annan's sake, the bard said it all over again:

The aptitude test requires a magic stone engraved with the third-level spell perception spell. The magic stone will glow when it comes into contact with magic. So if you want to become a mage, you need to make the magic stone glow.

Affinity represents the affinity with magic, and it is the brightness that can make the magic stone glow. Ordinary people are the lowest zero level, and the first level means that they have the ability to cast spells.

A very small number of ordinary people can make the magic stone glow in a dark room, but it usually does not mean that they have the ability to cast spells. At most, they can become a mage apprentice, and they can only release a few zero-level tricks at most if they persist in meditation until they are old - Mr. Victor is such an unlucky guy.

As for the rank, all spellcasters are common: ordinary professionals, then the elite level represented by Fast, and above are masters, epics, legends... and above are demigods.

Class is an informal division. For example, Michael's level 3 mage only represents how far he is from the elite level - the elite level is level 5.

Annan remembered that the biography of the legendary mage only wrote that the protagonist had a high qualification when tested, and there was no such division as "affinity" - perhaps because the book was written in the 338th year of the Saint Laurent calendar, and it is now the 998th year of the Saint Laurent calendar.

"Then change it to 'affinity, third class!' How about it?"

"It's still a bit high. Michael's affinity back then was said to be only third class." Fast, who was standing behind the bard, took the notebook and turned to the second page. "If you want to write a story about a poor boy with no talent, wouldn't it be better to have a first-class affinity?"

Annan shook his head.

If you flip through ten popular literature books at random, six of them have protagonists without talent, and the other four have protagonists who are geniuses.

The focus of this book is not between genius and mediocrity, but a simple and refreshing upgrade. Didn't you see that Fast has already turned to the third page?

"What do you think?" Annan asked.

The bard thought this story was very interesting - this was a compliment. All the stories nowadays are ordinary, right around us, and there is nothing special about them. And he felt the novelty of this book for the first time in a long time.

And those foolish villains can arouse emotions.

"I am a little curious about your origins." The bard observed Annan's black hair and black eyes, "How do you want me to help you get it published?"

"That would be the best, but how long will it take?"

"I don't know, I have to go to Breeze City to ask some friends." The bard gave Annan a reply in about two weeks. After all, it takes a week to go back and forth to Breeze City.

But even if it is published, it will take two to three months to get the first publishing fee -

Annan can barely wait, but Tasya can't.

And Fast won't let the bard leave the tavern: "You took away the only bard in the tavern. Are you going to let Martin take over the vacancy?"

A head came over: "Not impossible."

"Go to work."

"Oh."

"What if it becomes a story told by the bard?" Annan continued to ask.

"Well... as a story to be told, I think it's too long."

The bard snatched back the notes and turned back to the first page, "There are too many dialogues. If you want the guests to immerse themselves in the story, you have to delete some content."

Normal reading is faster than chanting, and a long story will only make the guests drowsy.

At this time, the bard realized Annan's idea: "You want to sell it to me?"

"Can you?"

The bard shook his head and told Annan that no one does this... Everyone who has heard it will remember the story and can tell it.

There is no point in spending money to buy it.

"What if it's just telling a story? A novel, continuous story should bring more customers to the tavern."

"You can try it." Fast said with interest, holding his hands, and took back the notes by the way, "Do you need money? When telling this story, I can give you a share of the extra wine money."

This is also part of the investment. Fast is optimistic about Annan. If Martin made this suggestion, he would increase his weekly salary from 70 copper coins to 71 copper coins at most.

"I don't want to tell this story."

The episode happened to the bard who had no reason to refuse.

This is related to the promotion of the bard profession. Bards collect stories, poems, and music from everywhere, spread them, and draw nutrients from them to advance.

Copying stories from books will not help the bard grow.

"The story in the book? No..." Annan's tone softened, "It's not published. You just heard the story of a man named Sean from me. No one even knows it. It's no different from those stories collected from all over the place."

Annan continued to bewitch Mr. Fast under his strange gaze: "You are about to reach level 3, right? This is a good opportunity..."

The bard was persuaded and reached out to Fast for notes.

"Wait until I finish reading."

Mr. Fast became Annan's first reader in this world.

That night, the bard took the notes away, and then began to tell his revised "The Sky of Magic Breaking" in the tavern the next day.

The guests did not notice the difference between the story and the usual ones at first, until a drunken guest shouted "Thirty years on the east bank of the Planni River, thirty years on the west bank of the Planni River!", they noticed this interesting story.

So, the guests who usually went home after 10 o'clock left reluctantly near the closing time of the morning.

Annan got about 20 copper coins on the first night, and this was just the beginning. Annan also suggested that guests be allowed to choose the plot - one beer can be used to select a part of the story. Give those who missed the chance a chance.

Based on the number of requests, Annan found that everyone was particularly interested in the part where Sean sneaked into Hill's room to warm up his body and the part where he had a beautiful time with Roland College Dean Sissi in the cave. There was even a record of 5 consecutive requests for the story of Roland College Dean Sissi.

In any case. Counting the original weekly salary, Annan should be able to get three silver coins this week.
