Act 32 Scholar

Act 32 The Scholar

As soon as Brando stepped into Turaman's house, the first thing he saw was the manuscripts scattered on the shiny black pine floor. He turned his head to the left and saw a thick book on a wooden table. The invention of paper pages in this world was not very clever. In order to write on rough pages, people usually need to make a large width. Then use a wooden frame covered with cowhide to secure it. Therefore, moving books is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they are easily damaged.

Although the kingdom has a noble library and a royal college, they are only places where the descendants of merchants, minor nobles, and landowners can enjoy education. Even in wealthy countries, ordinary citizens who live a comfortable life are more willing to send their children to be apprentices in workshops everywhere.

Brando quickly saw the contents of the book. What a coincidence, Tulaman was studying ancient languages. He couldn't help but look at the manuscript on the ground. The other party should be studying the changes of the Cruz language family of the Plateau language family. From the records on the manuscript, it seemed that some results had been achieved.

In this era, most people couldn't understand these manuscripts at all. For example, Bartome, who was well-informed, saw most of these manuscripts as pieces of waste paper, while Freya at most thought they were ghost drawings.

And the sound of turning books inside finally stopped.

"Young man, where did you discover this language?" After searching a series of relevant documents, Tullaman finally found a language from a remote language family whose pronunciation and structure are very similar to the single word in Brando's mouth. language.

Garungi ancient language.

The Garonki people are the weakest of the five ancient Cruz tribes, but this is enough to prove the authenticity of some of the facts in Brando's words. Did the ancestors of the Cruz people really record history?

Although Turaman has always suspected that the modern Cruz people are not descendants of the ancient Cruz people at all, he cannot explain that the Lord of Fire Gilt does have the obvious characteristics of the ancient Cruz people.

Brando smiled but did not answer.

Tullaman put on his glasses and walked out of the inner room with a thick book in his arms. He sat down on a wicker chair opposite Brando and next to a window, looking up at the four of them; then he opened the bookcase on one side, took out a pipe from the second drawer, and placed it on the table. After knocking on it, a flame came out of the pipe and smoke rose.

Tullaman held the pipe in his mouth, took a drag, and puffed out smoke from his nose. Then he said: "You don't speak. It seems that you have something to ask for. Young man, tell me your request. I have to say that you are half successful. You have successfully aroused the curiosity of this bad old man like me. "

He took off his pipe again,

Pointing at Brando with the cigarette holder, he said: "But you haven't won yet, young man. Although I am old, I am not an old fool. What do you want to get from me with a single word? You'd better come up with something." Come with something useful.”

The old man's words stunned Bottom and Freya, and then they realized that Brando was making a deal with the other party. However, the deal between wizards made them a little confused, and they still don't know whether they are old or not. What exactly does Shao want to do?

Roman looked quite interested. She liked Brando's calmness. She had an instinctive sense that although the strange old man over there was tough in words, he was actually soft.

"I am a Highland Knight. I need someone to introduce me to the circle of scholars. My guide asked me to come here and tell me what to do. So this is how things are with Lord Tullaman." Brando decided to continue to tell this story. Even if the skin is pulled off, in a sense, he is not lying anyway.

The guide is the mentor of a highland knight wizard's retinue. According to the highland laws, he also has the responsibility to guide the knight's growth. Brando's words will not arouse suspicion, and it can also make Tulaman suspicious. He knew that Tullaman knew many Black Tower wizards.

Tullaman put one hand on the armrest of the wicker chair, took a puff of his cigarette holder, and fell into thought. He was thinking about which old friend had tricked him once. Although he was not a powerful wizard, he was a senior scholar and a great alchemist, and he was extremely famous in the wizarding world. He had friends and enemies all over Warnd, so it was hard for him to remember who was playing the joke on him.

But he thought about it, and it was not a big deal to introduce a new person into the circle of scholars, and seeing Brando's performance would not embarrass him too much.

So Tullaman took a puff of cigarette, suddenly took out a piece of parchment from the drawer and put it on the cover of the book, picked up the quill and wrote something on it. Then he folded the paper, put it in an envelope, dripped wax, and stamped it with his seal.

He picked up the envelope, raised his head and asked: "I recommend you to study with Panosong for a while. You will know how we do things. Although Sir Panosong is a rigid person, he is a very good teacher. ,how do you feel?"

"Perfect." Brando replied. But he thought to himself that this was just a normal step. Could it be that he was working so hard to perform here just to save a few hundred Thors in registration fees?

Of course not.

He decided to try harder, so he walked up to him and twirled the letter with his middle and index fingers, and replied: "Lord Turaman, regarding the previous word. I want to say that I am studying a branch of the Cruz people. In the ancient language family, there is a small discovery below. Some locals living on the Balta Plateau seem to still maintain primitive customs. The wizards among them master some words passed down from ancient times, but they maintain the most primitive aspect of the ancient Cruz language. "

Brando replied half-seriously. The aboriginal people of the Balta Plateau are indeed real, and the original series of discoveries did indeed start from that deserted place, but the first stone slab appeared in another place.

To be honest, the slate has no practical effect on Brando, so he does not want the world to enter an era of chaos early.

Tullaman's eyes lit up, and the pipe in his mouth flickered on and off.

"Are you studying the ancient language family of the Cruz people?" He looked at the young man suspiciously: "Tell me, what other insights do you have?"

"You must have discovered, Lord Tullaman, that ancient languages ​​are full of magic. That's why it is said that words and language are the source of all magic. But the era of chaos is a watershed. Since the ancient Cruz people, the magic of words has It gradually declined..." Brando thought for a while and picked out one of the backgrounds he had seen on the forum. The foresight of the times allowed him to understand some of the core background better than the scholar.

Tullaman nodded and showed recognition.

"The cause and effect should be related to the long years of war?" he replied.

"Long years of war are interesting." The old man turned around and took out a ring from the drawer and put it on the envelope. He replied: "Maybe you can go to Sir Panosong's private collection first and have a look. If you have any new ideas, , you can come back to me with this ring again."

There is a way, and Brando's heart brightens. He doesn't know if anyone has done this before, but every step after that will definitely not be easy. But at least there was a good start, which made him feel happy.

However, Tullaman did not fully believe him. His method of delaying the troops was quite unique. Brando knew that the old man would probably leave for the Balta Plateau immediately, but it was hard to say whether he would gain anything.

Thinking of this, he picked up the envelope and the ring. A line of faint green text immediately appeared on his retina. They seemed to appear in his field of vision one by one, forming a question:

Are inductions accepted as associate career scholars?

Brando, of course, chose to accept it. So a new column-based sub-profession immediately appeared on his attribute panel, and the scholar lay quietly in that column. The experience was level 0 and 06, and currently there was only a row of small text under this profession, which was historical knowledge level 1. .

In Amber Sword, secondary professions are complementary to the formal professions. It is different from the main profession. The secondary profession generally strengthens a character from the side. Therefore, it does not provide powerful skills or attribute bonuses, but it allows the character to gain some special abilities.

It can be said that the deputy position is more similar to the identity, but can be invested in upgrades.

For example, for a scholar, whenever a character reaches level 5 or higher in a knowledge, he can start a corresponding familiar profession. When he takes up this profession, the experience penalty is not included in the total number of part-time jobs. Until he has three familiar professions. At the same time, scholars provide three times more skill experience per level than militiamen, so they are called necessary sub-jobs by players in the game.

Silver Castle Scholars are stronger. Silver Castle Scholars have four familiar professions and regard alchemy as their own profession. It is equivalent to a collection of the scholar's deputy job and the alchemist's deputy job.

Of course, the experience penalty is shared between deputy positions and deputy positions, but it does not affect the main occupation.

As soon as Brando took office, he immediately invested 220 experience points to upgrade the scholar to level 6 and acquired 250 skill experience points. The ratio of experience to skill experience for the scholar's deputy job in the first 6 levels is as high as 1:1:1, which is the most terrifying among all professions. However, the trouble with having a deputy job is that the job level cannot exceed the skill level by more than 5 levels.

Brando needs knowledge of nobility or heraldry rather than historical knowledge, so he can only let it go when the scholar level reaches level 6.

After finishing my own business, I just seemed to be distracted for a moment. He raised his head and asked: "Lord Turaman, I have a friend, and you saw it too. You know her aunt, but she and her aunt are separated. We are looking for her. Have you seen Roman? Aunt?"

Tullaman knocked his pipe on the table, raised his spectacle frame, and replied: "Young man, I just know her aunt. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I met that girl." At that time, she was about the same age as this little girl. In fact, I didn’t know she originally lived around here.”

Seeing that Brando was still going to speak, he hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't need to ask any more unnecessary questions. Every wizard has his own secret. Since she didn't tell you, I won't say any unnecessary words."

The old man puffed out smoke from his nose: "Okay, our conversation is almost over. Young man, your goal has been achieved. When you think you have a certain understanding of your current path, come to me again. Late."

Brando was stunned and turned back to look at Roman.

But the business lady smiled sweetly at him: "It's okay, Brando, aunt is the most powerful."

You guy. Brando glared at her, but his heart softened.
