Chapter 51: Reconciliation of Flesh and Blood
"Alan, did you write this poem yourself?"
Tanya raised her beautiful and heroic eyebrows, with surprise in her eyes.
"I can't write such beautiful sentences!"
Alan shook his head and smiled foolishly.
"My family runs a tavern, and bards often pass by. When they get drunk, they play the lute and sing poetry. If I hear something I like, I write it down."
"Dad, I really like the poem that Junior Brother Allen recited. What do you think?"
Pan Sen glanced at his daughter, smiled and nodded.
My daughter has changed her way of addressing the child and starts calling him "Junior Brother".
As a father, how could you not understand?
"Little guy, you have good literary accomplishment." Pansen looked at Allen with praise in his eyes, "I am very satisfied with your performance. From today on, you are my Pansen's personal disciple!"
As for the two illiterate people who were still biting the tip of their pens while solving the equations, they ultimately failed to work out the unknown variables.
Although they failed to become mentor Pansen's direct disciples, they also demonstrated qualifications that are worthy of key cultivation.
He was taken away by Senior Sister Tanya for training.
Candidates who only pass the first level are considered outer disciples of the martial arts school.
The second senior brother, Tuffman, is in charge of teaching.
As for those candidates who didn’t even pass the first level.
It's not impossible to insist on staying in the martial arts gym.
As a registered disciple, he started out doing odd jobs.
There will be monthly assessments in the future.
Only after passing the assessment can one become an outer disciple.
…
Pan Sen Martial Arts School provides both free and paid teaching content to its disciples.
Paid courses need to be purchased with magic stones.
The only martial arts that can be learned without paying are "Hound Step" and "Bone-piercing Strength".
Allen already had it.
There are also two 0th-level spells that can be learned for free.
Arcane Mark: Draw a unique emblem, infuse it with 1 point of magic, and leave it permanently on the surface of an object or creature to represent your identity.
Warlocks exchange their "secret marks" with each other and store them, which can be used as terminals for remote communication to send or receive information.
Teleport: Spend 1 magic point to send a private voice message to certain creatures in sight, which only the other party can hear.
If the caster and someone hold each other's "secret mark", they can use "communication" to send information even if they are out of sight.
Combining the "Mystical Seal" and "Communication Technique" can greatly expand the communication distance, and the upper limit is proportional to the spiritual attribute.
Take Allen for example, his mental attribute is 20.
By using "Secret Mark" + "Communication Technique", you can send messages to acquaintances within 20 kilometers.
In this method of communication, the "secret mark" actually plays the role of a phone number or email address.
Every warlock has a unique mark of mysticism.
Just like everyone has a unique phone number.
Otherwise, the accuracy of communication cannot be guaranteed.
When Allen first started learning the "Secret Mark", the first thing he had to do was to create a mark of his own.
There are already so many warlocks in the world, and it really takes some thought to create a mark that will not conflict with others.
Fortunately, Allen had a convenient condition.
As a time traveler, he can encrypt in his native language.
It took less than a minute.
Alan then mastered the secret mark of his own creation.
Write it down on paper and show it to your instructor.
"Hmm... this square mark looks very complicated."
As Pantheon commented, he conveniently wrote down the mark that Alan had created in his address book so that they could communicate with each other as a master and apprentice.
The corners of Alan's mouth twitched slightly.
Trying to suppress a smile.
In fact, this mark is the Chinese character "Pan".
Pan of Panthers is also Pan of Panson.
"Secret Mark" and "Communication Technique" have one thing in common: the threshold is extremely low.
Any warlock apprentice can master it.
The warlock's spells mainly rely on his own bloodline awakening.
For magic spells like this that are learned after birth, special teaching aids are required to transfer knowledge.
This is also the most special aspect of the warlock-apprentice relationship.
Alan finished his mark and took two reagent bottles and two syringes from his mentor.
The reagent bottle is filled with a plasma-like substance.
Separated by a transparent glass wall.
You can see the slurry extending tiny tentacles and slowly moving along the bottle wall...
This damn thing is actually alive!
Alan couldn't help but feel a chill.
All the secrets of "Mystical Seal" and "Communication" are stored in these two masses of living flesh and blood.
Allen had to draw out the serum with a syringe and inject it into himself.
After a period of time, these two foreign masses of blood and flesh will merge with his own blood.
Then, through atavism meditation, the "secret mark" and "communication technique" can be awakened.
By transplanting flesh and blood from foreign objects, one expands one's own bloodlineage and then shares the bloodline magic of the former.
This is an important means of practice for sorcerers.
The inheritance of warlock's knowledge cannot be accomplished with the help of textbooks.
The only bond of inheritance is blood.
Therefore, the teaching between sorcerers and their disciples is never in writing.
The disadvantage is that the efficiency is too low and knowledge cannot be printed and popularized on a large scale.
But, there is an advantage.
By leaving no text, we can avoid cheap copying and dissemination, and it is also more conducive to confidentiality.
Because of this, the warlock inheritance has a strong natural monopoly.
A large number of advanced martial arts and spells are treasured up by major sorcerer families and never shown to anyone.
Unless you join the family and gain their trust, it will be difficult to learn this valuable knowledge through other channels.
The major families in the world of warlocks have established a solid foundation for their rule through the monopoly chain of "bloodline-knowledge".
After the first class.
Alan said goodbye to Instructor Pansen and followed his second senior brother Taffman to the single dormitory arranged for him by the martial arts hall.
When they arrived at the dormitory, Taffman, as a person who had experienced it, gave his junior fellow apprentice some advice:
“Accommodation is free, but the canteen charges a fee.”
"With your physique, you have to spend a lot of money on food every month, right?"
"Indeed, I have a big appetite." Alan scratched his head embarrassedly.
"You have a big appetite, so you need to save more money for food," Taffman said to Allen. "If you want to survive in the academy, you need money, especially magic stones."
“Daily food, clothing, housing and transportation can be purchased with gold, silver and copper coins.”
"But transactions between warlocks, such as purchasing paid courses, are more accustomed to pricing in magic stones."
Tufman explained to Allen.
Magic stone is a natural .
When meditating, holding a magic stone and absorbing magic power can improve the efficiency of meditation and speed up the progress of practice.
Ordinary magic stones have no attributes.
In other words, it is a mixture of various attributes that check and balance each other, and at the macro level it manifests itself as having no attributes.
Warlocks of any school can absorb this kind of magic stone, but the training efficiency is relatively low.
There are also attribute magic stones, such as fire magic stones, which contain the most fire energy and are suitable for fire warlocks to absorb with higher efficiency.
"We violent sorcerers usually don't have any special attributes. We can only absorb attributeless magic stones to temper our bodies."
“But there are exceptions, such as Senior Sister Tanya,” Taffman added.
