Chapter 184 Talented Witchcraft (Update 423)
Atbold was slightly startled. He turned to look at Colin, asking for his opinion with his eyes.
Talent quality is not information that needs to be too confidential. If you want to make an analogy, it is probably similar to the wizard's magic affinity qualification.
The specific effects of talents are what need to be kept as secret as possible.
In fact, with Laraire's status, even if he is not watching now, as long as he is willing, he will be able to know Colin's specific talents and qualities from the files in the future.
Having said that, he was not in the habit of helping others make decisions, so he posed the question directly to Colin.
"I have no objection, Lord Laraire." Colin replied after pondering for a moment.
"Yeah." Laraire nodded and walked with them towards the special talent testing room located deep in the Black Castle.
Not long after, the wizard on duty led them to a thick black door.
The surface of the door is smooth, with a matte texture as a whole, and the specific material cannot be seen.
When you push the door and walk in, the first thing you see is the tall white stone platform in the center.
The stone platform is square and square, a perfect cuboid. If it were not completely white and had a jade-like texture, it would look like an enlarged version of a brick.
Apart from the stone platform, there is nothing else in the entire room.
The surrounding walls, floors, and doors are all made of the same material, the same black color, and there are no windows.
At this moment, after the door was tightly closed, they seemed to be in the dark.
The only light... Colin turned around and looked around, but found no trace of bright crystal or other lighting.
The stone platform did not glow either.
After realizing this, he couldn't hide his surprise.
Although the room was filled with black, it was extremely bright, like daylight.
"Turn on your supersensory vision and take a look." Atbold noticed his movements and reminded him with a smile.
Supersensory vision?
Colin nodded, and as Atbold said, with a thought, he opened his supersensory vision.
White.
White--
Contrary to reality, in the supersensory vision, the colors in the room suddenly change.
The originally black walls, black floor, and black door suddenly turned into pure white.
But the originally white rectangular stone platform suddenly turned black, as black as ink.
If it weren't for the filthy whispers floating in the air that had not been seen for a long time even though it was thin, then the stone platform would be the only black in the entire room.
"This is a special strange object called the Blood Patterned Stone." Atbold explained,
"There are known to be a total of 102 blood-patterned boulders in the entire wizarding world. Their only purpose is to test the quality of talents."
While Colin was observing the room, Laraire was also observing him.
Although super-sensory vision is a necessary skill for every official wizard, not every wizard can master it skillfully after just advancing.
Moreover, observing the state of wizards under supersensory vision can also give a glimpse of the resistance of wizards to dirty words.
This kind of resistance is very important for wizards.
After a moment, Laraire withdrew his gaze, feeling reassured about Colin's resistance, and at the same time feeling more and more sorry.
Let’s take a look at the specific talents...
At this time, Atbold's words also came to an end.
"There are still many unanswered questions about the blood-patterned boulder...perhaps it has other effects."
"But judging from the current proven effects, the only effect of the blood-patterned boulder is to test the talent quality of wizards, and it is only for first-level wizards."
"It's a small price to pay, just a hint of magic."
After Atbold finished speaking, the wizard on duty asked them at the right time:
"Sir, shall we start testing talents now?"
"Um."
After Laraire and Atbold nodded, he turned to greet Colin:
"Your Excellency, come here."
He led Colin to the stone platform.
Raising his head slightly, Colin was shocked to realize how tall the stone platform was. Now that he was closer, he could no longer see the top of the stone platform.
"The talent test is very simple. You only need to put your palm against the blood-striped boulder, and then input the magic power... There is no specific requirement for the amount of magic power. It can be from a trace to all, and the result will not change in any way. "
"Okay." Colin nodded, took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, and placed his hand on the blood-stained boulder in front of him.
A cold and hard touch came.
He began to slowly input magic power, the amount was about a little more than a trace.
A moment later, before he could react, he heard the wizard on duty next to him saying:
"That's all right, Your Excellency."
Colin frowned slightly, looking puzzled at the blood-patterned boulder that remained unchanged.
The next second, as if he realized something, he opened his supersensory vision.
But then, the doubts in his heart not only did not subside, but became more confused.
In the super-sensory field of vision, the blood-patterned boulder did not change at all, it was just pitch black.
but……
Laraire and others on the side could no longer suppress their surprise, and their expressions of astonishment were beyond words!
"First-class talent..." Lillian, who stood at the end, murmured.
"What a pity." Laraire finally couldn't help but sigh.
Although the blood-patterned boulder can detect the apprentice's talent, it can only make a rough judgment, and the accuracy is roughly divided into nine levels.
First-class is the best among them...but there is obviously a difference between first-class and first-class.
Colin did not use Athios, and his talent would reach the first level after advancement. So if he had used Athios...
Altbold on the side also realized this, and the guilt in his heart became heavier.
"Your name is Colin, right?" Laraire suddenly asked him, "Do you have any thoughts about changing your mentor?"
'Change mentor...' Colin was startled and subconsciously looked at Atbold.
But to his surprise, Altbald didn't have an angry look on his face.
The next second, Atbold took the initiative and said:
"Your Excellency Laraire is a powerful third-level wizard. Colin, please think carefully."
Lillian remained silent.
With a change of thought, Colin quickly guessed the reason, and his heart inevitably felt warm.
He was lucky to have a mentor like Altbold...
After letting out a soft breath, Colin shook his head and refused to Lalaire:
"I'm sorry, Lord Laraire, I have not changed my mind about my mentor."
Laraire was startled, silent for a moment, and said nothing more.
As a third-level wizard, Colin... is only worthy of saying this once.
On the other side, a smile appeared on Altbald's old face.
Even though he had been through a lot, he still couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Colin's answer.
"Okay, now it's time to choose the talent witchcraft." After a moment, he said.
