Chapter 14: Gaolibao and the apprenticeship test

   In late June, Morian came to Belgoost with a letter of recommendation. At the same time she came with the Grand Duke Iltan's prize of 6000 gold coins, Henry 4000, and Kagan 2000.

  Henry has been copying scrolls in addition to ironing for more than twenty days. According to the agreement, he sold a large number of scrolls to the business woman and got 5000 gold coins. Learning magic is a costly thing, he is now working hard to accumulate every penny.

   Henry lay on the chuang at night, and his 15,000 gold coins were exchanged for two gold tickets for the Seven Suns Alliance. This kind of gold ticket can be exchanged for cash at any time at Baldur's Gate and Amn or used for direct transaction. Open the panel:

   Intelligence: 21

  Wisdom: 18

   Charm: 17 You now have both a handsome appearance and a strong body. It's simply a female (kiman) killer.

   looked at his attributes, and then looked at his muscles that had been slightly rudimentary in the past few days and smiled. Tomorrow is going to Gaolibao. There are countless questions in my heart about what magic is, and what the mage relies on to display the power of destroying the world will find the answer there. Henry forced his euphoric spirit to calm down, and he couldn't make his way tomorrow if he didn't rest well.

   Henry got up early the next morning**, and after breakfast he began to organize his luggage. Fort Gaoli is not far from Belgoost, it only takes six to eight hours to reach it on foot, so you don't need to bring too many things. A small bag of 50 gold coins, put two gold tickets and a letter of recommendation close to your body, and a bag of change of clothes on your back. Don't use the scimitar streamer and crossbow. Insert the fireball staff behind him, and after more than 20 days of charging, it has now stored 30 fireball spells. Came downstairs and found his mother, sister and Kagan were all waiting for him.

   "Henry, be careful along the way. This is the lunch I prepared for you. Check back often." My mother's eyes were a little red, and she walked over and hugged him.

   "I will mother, you know that it's only half a day away. I will come back to see you often." Henry hugged and took lunch and put it in his backpack.

   "Brother, I want to hug too." Henry wrapped up his sister and kissed her forehead and said, "Be good at home, don't be naughty. If you have anything, go to Grandpa Kegan. Did you hear that."

   "Well, I will be obedient. Remember to come back and teach me magic."

   "Little Henry, don't you really need me to go with you?" Kegan said.

   "No, it's okay for such a short distance." After speaking, he hugged the dwarf. "Goodbye, Mom, Cagan, and my lovely sister." After that, he turned and walked out the door.

   After a four-hour journey, Henry entered the boundary of Gaolibao. As soon as I arrived here, I felt the unusual magical energy flooding the forest, and there were some skeletons wandering in the distance. This is a manifestation of the excessive accumulation of magical energy. He cautiously cast a group of skeletons that quickly passed through the large swath of skeletons in front of him after stealth operation.

   Coming to the depths of the forest, Henry saw a huge castle towering between heaven and earth. The main body of the castle is a whole piece of granite with no gaps at all. Eight huge pillars connect several walls to form a whole.

   When Henry was thinking about how to enter, the gate of the castle opened, and an old man walked out from inside. Gray hair and beard, dark blue eyes show the wisdom of the owner. He hurriedly took out a recommendation letter from his body and walked forward and bowed to the old man and said, "Hello, respected Master Tyrantyr. I am Henry from Belgoost, and I came here to accept your guidance. This is my recommendation letter."

The old man took a look at the letter and said to Henry: "Well, it's a good boy to use spells to pass through the skeleton. A sensible mage should know how to avoid unnecessary battles. The next step is to deal with you. Take a small test, if you pass you will be my apprentice. Come with me."

   After following the archmage into the castle, Henry was stunned by the sight in front of him. This is a mage tower. The huge element pool is divided into four parts, where the energy of flame, water, air and earth gathers. Provided the power for the operation of the mage tower. A giant magic crystal spins rapidly above the pool. Several golems patrolled vigilantly in the corridor.

   Henry was taken to an empty room. The archmage turned around and said to him: "Next, I will cast you a teleportation technique to send you into a maze. There will be ten levels. You need to find an exit from the maze. Whenever you pass a pipe, I You will be given a score. Full score is 5, excellent is 4, passing is 3, poor is 2, very poor, and failed is 0. The test ends when your total score exceeds 30 or completes all levels. With a total score of 30, you are my apprentice. In addition, take off all the magic items from you, and the magic chong also leaves you not to be able to use them during the test."

   After hearing the old man’s explanation, Henry took off his backpack. Put down the fireball staff and take off the magic ring. Pickering was also driven out of Henry's hair. Then he stepped forward and said: "I'm ready for the master, let's start."

   The archmage began to chant a spell, and his dry hands did not affect his casting speed. On the contrary, Henry couldn't see the shadow of the old man's fingers at all. With the completion of the last spell of "Alber", a bright light flashed before his eyes. He immediately closed his eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I was already in an underground maze.

   Henry pulled out the streamer along the passage of the maze, walked forward carefully and made marks along the way. Soon he came to the first level. A face was revealed on a wall and he said, "To get through here, you need to complete a puzzle. In ancient times, the king of a country enacted such a law in order to allow more men to have more wives. : After a mother gave birth to her first boy, she was immediately forbidden to have children. In this way, some families will have several girls but only one boy. So it will not take long for the female population to greatly exceed the male population. Do you think this law can fulfill his wish? Why."

Henry briefly thought about it and replied: "This law will not fulfill his wish. According to the normal law of fertility, the proportion of males and females in the first birth of all women is equal. If the mother gave birth to a boy, The mother who gave birth to a girl can still give birth to a second child, and all the children born to the second child are equally divided between men and women. Then the mother who gave birth to the second child withdraws from the birth team, and the girl who gives birth can still give birth to a third child. In each round of the ratio, the ratio of men and women is equal to half. Therefore, adding up the results of each round of fertility, the ratio of men and women is always equal. When girls grow up to become new mothers, the same conclusions apply. "

   Shi Lian heard the answer and said: "Congratulations on your correct answer, you can pass now." The wall in front of him disappeared. A string of words appeared in front of Henry: You are smart 5 points. Passed the first level perfectly.

   Through the stone gate, Henry continued on. After avoiding a few collapse traps, I came to the second level. Guarding the gate is a clay golem, and Henry's current cast level is basically unlikely to cause any serious damage to it. After simple thinking, he picked up the crossbow, gave the golem an arrow, turned and ran. The huge golem started, and it quickly caught up with it at a seemingly slow pace. After passing through the collapsed trap, Henry quickly jumped over, and the golem was out of luck. With a bang, one of its legs sank in and was firmly stuck inside. Carefully avoided the golem's thick arms and passed the second level safely. "5 points, no arrogant use of spells. Reasonable use of every resource." The words composed of white light appeared in front of Henry's eyes out of thin air, letting him breathe a sigh of relief.

  After going around the maze a few times, Henry came to the third level. There were two bottles of poison on the table. According to the description, they are not deadly enough, but the effect will last until the fourth level passes. These two levels will be scored together. One bottle can cause severe pain, and the other bottle is prone to hallucinations. Without hesitation, he drank the painful bottle and moved on.

   It didn't take long for the medicine to work, and it felt like being pierced into the internal organs by an awl. The intense pain made his vision blurred. When he insisted on reaching the fourth level, just sweating made him slightly dehydrated. UU reading www.uukanshu. Com this time he needs to deal with a winter wolf. It must be killed to pass. This is a dangerous and cunning magical beast. They are not afraid of the cold at all, and they can speak lingua franca. Can attack by spraying frost from the mouth. Fire can cause huge damage to it.

   gritted his teeth and retreated to a safe distance before preparing for the first spell. The intense pain almost made him fail to cast the spell. Greasy technique, he released a large piece of grease in front of him. Then he raised the crossbow and fired at the Winter Wolf. The long distance did not cause any harm to the wolf, but it still angered the beast. It ran quickly and rushed over. Henry endured the pain and began to prepare for the second spell. When the cunning beast saw the grease all over the floor, it made a big circle cleverly. In order to avoid the scope of the greasy technique, it goes very far when it is about to hunt prey. "Spider web technique" a large spider web trapped it on the ground. Henry was very careful to bypass the wolf's head and approach from behind, biting his lip with severe pain. Pulling out the streamer and throwing it vigorously, the rotating blade flashed a cold light and directly cut off the winter wolf's head. "10 points of perseverance is a good quality, the pain does not make you lose your mind. The greasy bait before killing the winter wolf is done very well. With the words that appeared out of thin air, all the pain on the body disappeared. As if they were they It had never happened before. Henry knew that he had to pass the remaining levels quickly, and he had not had much energy since he was a little prostrated.

   drank a little wolf blood, ate a few bites of raw meat, made a few gallons of water, drank a few sips and washed his face, and then started on the road. ———————————————————————————————
