Chapter 16: Against the competition.



When faced with the challenge between life and death, wealth is just a passing cloud! Only the power in hand is the guarantee of survival and dignity!

She thought she would be sold to the slave market and become a plaything for big people, but she didn't think she had the chance to learn magic!

And magic, no doubt, is the most promising of the extraordinary powers that ordinary people in this world can come into contact with! There is no need for the rich ancestors to leave their blood behind and inspire them to become blood knights or blood warlocks. There is no need for decades of piety to exchange gifts from God, and there is no need for soldiers to practice hard for many years but leave behind a wound and end up in bed or die in battle.

At the moment when she was sold to the tower by slave traders, Freya firmly strengthened her faith in advancing on the magic road!

When Siwei walked into the classroom belonging to the new apprentice, the first thing he saw was the bright and dazzling light reflected from Freya's big eyes, which were full of thirst for knowledge and light of hope.

Fourteen children, eight boys and six girls, mostly around the age of ten, were sitting squarely in the classroom, older than their predecessors when they first arrived at the tower.

"Hello, students, I am Siwei, a high-level magic apprentice. This month I will teach you the magic initiation course!" Siwei quickly stepped onto the platform and slowly scanned the group of half-aged children below: "First of all, everyone will take turns to introduce themselves in the order of their seats!"

Obviously, most of these children should be from ordinary families. They are not confident. At the same time, they are sad that they have just been forced to leave their parents. It is not very good to speak their names completely. There is also a little girl crying with tears in her eyes.

Only two, no, three children behave differently from others.

One is the youngest boy, only six or seven years old, with a white complexion and a lovely pink face. However, he said firmly, "My name is Bordeaux. Something has happened to our family. My father is dead and my mother is missing. Sister told me to study magic well and defeat the bad guys in the future! "

One was the 12-year-old girl, who grew up at an early age like a willow twig, with a pair of long eyebrows slightly raised. Her eyes were deep and her nose was high, showing maturity and temperament: "I am Freya Tang Wan, daughter of a merchant in the sea. My father and family were looted by pirates. My brother and I were sold here. They are all children of my father's chamber of commerce. I hope to learn magic, avenge my father and rebuild the Tang Wan chamber of commerce in the future!"

In this world, civilians do not have surnames, just as in the pre-Qin era when Siwei once lived in the world, surnames only existed among nobles, professionals and people with higher social status.

This time the apprentices, unexpectedly is all a batch of, before coming to know each other?

Usually there are not new people every month, and they are scattered and individual, with an average of less than 20 a year. Most of these children cannot meditate and thus cannot become magic apprentices.

Judging from Gatling's behavior, a big net seems to have reached the end.

Realizing this, Siwei suddenly had a premonition that he would not have much time to face Gatling!

The last one was a little boy in his early ten years old. Siwei saw in his eyes the cunning and philistinism that only adults can have. He bowed his head and said, "My name is Eton, Lord Siwei. I am a helmsman's child. I grew up on the boat. I hope I can learn magic from you!"

Respectful and humble, Siwei smelled ambition.

"I sympathize with what happened to you before! However, it is your luck to come to the tower! Become a magician, you can completely change your fate, because everyone respect the strong! But first of all, there are barriers on a magician's road, it is to screen out those lazy, stupid and unable to learn! Now you are facing the first challenge-meditation! Meditation is the foundation and the most important first step in learning magic. Entering the meditation state, we can sense the magic elements, accumulate our own magic, begin to analyze the magic structure, and begin to learn real magic! "

Hearing this, all the children listened carefully to Siwei's words. However, they all attached great importance to this chance to change their fate.

"Today, I will teach you meditation methods and simple techniques, but please remember, you only have seven days to master it! If, after seven days, no one can enter the meditation state, then I am sorry that you will be invited out of the tower and the magic gate will be closed to you! "

Meditation for magicians is the origin of one, life. If you can't meditate, then everything is impossible.

After hearing Siwei's solemn announcement, even the little girl who was crying earlier wiped away her tears. Everyone stared at Siwei with wide eyes, hoping to dig out knowledge from his mind.

"That's right!" Siwei turned smartly and wrote on the board with a charcoal pen.

"The preparation of meditation, the most important thing is a clear body and mind! If you are drowsy, sweating, itching, and your thoughts are flying, you cannot enter the meditation state at all! "

"The first step in meditation is to breathe! ……”

"The second step in meditation is to spread and empty the brain! ……”

Just as Siwej was giving lessons to his new classmates, all the high-ranking magic apprentices also got the news of the apprentice spell competition from Edward.

"Hey, I heard that the champion of the Apprentice Spell Contest will be awarded with a strong zero-ring spell model built by Mentor Gatling, and an Austrian affinity potion that can increase the induction with magic elements. Finally, I can get special guidance from Mentor Gatling!" Ed said loudly with a face of excitement. The other apprentices in the small library also stopped to discuss.

"Apprentice spells for competition? I have been in the tower for 12 years, this is the first time! " Linden came up cheerfully: "Palin has just become a magician, otherwise there will be no suspense in this competition. The champion should come from among Yang, Charlotte and Faawi? "

"No, no, no, no, I'm not confident of winning the fight from Charlotte and Yang!" Faawi hurriedly motioned with his hand, "2nd or 3rd awards are also good! Miniature magic recovery potion, various precious stones, a large number of experimental materials! By the way, why isn't Siwej here? "

"He's giving lectures to apprentices who entered the tower yesterday!" Ed said sarcastically, "When we meet again, I will call Siwei the mentor! Yang Xuechang and Charlotte Xuejie are so learned that you haven't given the new apprentices a lesson yet! "
