Chapter 18 (2/2)
Actually, even Duwei didn’t know that his circuht
Magicians were an odd bunch For thethemselves as above everyone else They could call the wind and summon the rain, they could draw upon divine power To the icians, the mass of common people were little more than ants they could casually exploit
A lot of the icians had even less talent than Duwei! But even if icians ealthy, they couldn’t hire servants like common nobles when they needed attendants —— ould that look like!
As sacred sorcerers, as icians, their servants naturally had to have the status of ic apprentices! If they used common servants, wouldn’t their status drop?
But only a sic Therefore, with the ic apprentices at their side, they didn’t even hesitate to lower the official recruitic apprentices! People whose talent clearly was insufficient, as long as it was a tiny bit icians saying ‘I will teach you to becoician’
Afterwards…… These people who lacked the talent to becoicians, would spend their lives as cheap labor for their masters!
These practices caused a great deal of disorder with the ic apprentice assessments! The standard was also unevenly matched
However, when Duas tested last ti to the true and strict standard! Because…… That e Clarke didn’t dare cheat the eldest son of the second most powerful person in the imperial military!
Just because of Duwei’s background, Clarke didn’t dare cheat him into become cheap labor
Otherwise, if Duwei had been a co spirit power he would have already accepted Duwei as an apprentice!
Even when he knew that Duwei didn’t possess the gift foraspirit power at his side would have been greatly convenient in future ic experiments
In fact, a lot of icians did this If Duwei hadn’t been the earl’s son, perhaps he would have been tricked into leaving with the beautiful dreaician’s cheap labor, even squandering his life and delaying his future prospects
“It was only by happenstance that I learned the facts: My ician” The captive’s voice was bitter: “He even knehen he brought be away froic talent and wanted me as a servant by his side, and later soic experiments Master had a lot of apprentices like ic sensitivity, but all with so a beautiful drea their lives!
“……And then?” Duwei exhaled
“Like I said just now…… At first after learning the truth I was angry, and later…… I decided to change ic, then…… I decided to study ic alcheic association Even if…… This is considered ridiculous by ic alcheicians”
“…… And then?” Duwei felt his heartbeat speed up!
Could it be that…… This guy……
Just like hiic! But now he had becoician! And ic!
Since he, without talent, had at last used so as he could figure out what ht be possible for him too!
If he could find a way to learn ic, then……
Couldn’t he learn the astrological skills Saimel had left behind in that secret rooic?
“You can becoic alchemy?” Duwei looked at his captive: “Froic alcheician qualifications”
Real icians were split into ten levels, and the difficulty of the exaher level the ician, the more powerful
But ‘also a kind of ic alchemists’ exam was a lot simpler
Even to the extent that it felt half hearted!
Magic alchemists didn’t have multiple levels of examinations!
Just one!
As long as you passed the exaic association would issue you a badge, officially recognizing you as a ician
Even if nition
Moreover, even the ainst thees
The ic alchemist embleical counterfeiting protection
Perhaps it was because the i association itself knew nobody would be interested in faking the identity of a ic alchemist
A ical alchemist, often referred to as a poison master, were even lower in status than a common doctor
And even first level real ician had a silver leaf badge
Duwei naturally hadn’t forgotten how he had seized a silver leaf badge from the chest of his captive in that tavern!
In other words, he hadn’t passed a ician’s examination!
How had he done it?
Learning ain rose in Duwei’s heart!
“My gift in , and er than ht just ued as easily and so on…… But I lacked sensitivity No matter how I meditated, no matter how hard I tried, at first I was unable to even sense the fluctuations of natural forces” The captive spoke slowly: “Later, after studying an to wonder…… What are the so-called natural forces really? My teacher toldin this world! They ind, fire, water, even the tiniest ue Deep in ht…… Just if, I could understand, just what these ‘natural forces’ are, then, there ht still be hope for me”
Duwei cal these words in his mind
“For instance, fire ician can use spells to draw support on the natural fire elee it into flaic alchemy there’s a dozen different ways to create flame with preparations! Like the siician looked at Duwei: “What I’?”
“Please continue, I understand” Duwei sic alchemy”
“Good” The ic alchemy there’s a dozen different ways to produce the saic…… Flame! For instance, the round into powder that can ignite on its own! So I thought…… phosphoric grass can create fire, and ic Then could it be…… That phosphoric grass contains what is called the ic elerass contain soic elements?”
Duwei’s heart twitched as if he had thought of so, but for the moment he couldn’t catch it
The captive ic spells! I e spells Let’s take another fire ic exaration’ forbidden spell that can extinguish heaven! Even if the difference in power is manyfold, in fact, the principle is the saenious…… Everything that can be accoic alcheic, even if alche on the destructive scale of the ‘city conflagration’ forbidden spell, the theory of lighting a fire is the saic, and so on…… All ic systems can be replicated with alchemy! Even if only the very simplest fundamental principles, they can still be replicated! Why is this? Perhaps…… I think, maybe, those precious alcheic eleic system! What do you think?”
The prisoner’s face was filled with pride: “Since I’ical ele ical elements from preparations! !”
