Zhang Chaosheng was lucky. He passed the screening on the 14th and became a reserve mage apprentice of the mage group.
There were about 300 young people who passed the primary election with him, and less than 100 of them were qualified as reserve mage apprentices, while the rest were assigned to the guard regiment as non-commissioned officers.
Zhang Chaosheng was not unfamiliar with the term mage. A few years ago, he had heard some white friends mention Egypt, a country founded by a powerful mage.
At that time, he was still in the second grade of high school, and he once imagined that if he had that kind of ability, he could be like the Egyptian king and revive the Lanfang Republic in Nanyang.
But at that time, although he had the idea of wanting to go to Egypt to learn magic, his family's financial situation did not allow him to travel across the ocean, and he heard from friends that the admissions requirements for the magic academy were also very strict, and ordinary people like him had no chance at all, so Zhang Chaosheng decided to
Gave up this idea.
But he didn't expect that after a few years, he would get the opportunity to become a mage by accident.
People here in Nanyang actually have a very complicated view of mages.
Affected by the complex local religious culture, in fact, large families in Nanyang usually worship one or two so-called "masters". Some of them are just eminent monks, but some are just masters who don't know what kind of dharma they practice.
Zhang Chaosheng's family's family background can only be considered average, and of course they cannot afford to support a mage. However, he did see the mage supported by a classmate whose family was well-off, and he could indeed have some miraculous powers.
It is precisely because of this experience that Zhang Chaosheng did not denounce these things as strange powers and chaos just because he went to college. Instead, he accepted them very highly.
But what was somewhat beyond his expectation was that the mage with the silver mask did not teach them the spells, but gave them a booklet to read first.
What is recorded in the booklet is not magic, but some content about human body modification.
Zhang Chaosheng looked through it carefully. In addition to transforming the heart into a magic core, the blood vessels into magic circuits, and the bones to engrave spells, various organs of the body were also transformed to improve physical fitness and enhance spells.
Powerful content.
Most of these contents are like medical papers, with detailed and rigorous text descriptions and theoretical explanations, and even very realistic illustrations.
If he hadn't known that this was a magical transformation, Zhang Chaosheng would have thought it was some kind of medical academic paper or surgical information.
This was obviously very different from the spell Zhang Chaosheng imagined. He thought he would start by worshiping gods, chanting incantations, and collecting various blood materials.
In fact, not only Zhang Chaosheng has such doubts, but other reserve mage apprentices also have the same doubts.
But after all, this was a military camp and not a school, and they couldn't really ask the silver-faced mage who was hard to talk to at first glance, so they had to take the pamphlet and carefully memorize the contents above with a belly full of questions.
But the doubts in their hearts have not diminished at all.
"Mr. No. 14, is the content in this book really for cultivating mages?" Looking through the contents of the booklet, George Black also had the same question as those reserve soldiers, but fortunately he could directly ask Ten
Question No. 4.
Grain forceps
Regarding George Blake's question, No. 14 gave him an answer, but this answer was obviously beyond George Blake's expectations.
"This is not a plan for training regular mage apprentices like you, Mr. George, but a plan for mass-producing battle mages through transformation." No. 14 opened a booklet and explained to George Black: "
The heart is transformed into a magic core, connecting the magic circuit formed by blood vessels, allowing magic power to flow through the blood vessels, activating the spell model engraved on the bones or skin, and then emitting the spell.
They are not so much wizards as they are human-shaped automatic wands that can automatically fire spells just by giving instructions, without the need for you to recharge or maintain them."
"Does this mean transforming people into magical items?" George Blake seemed a little unable to accept it.
In his opinion, these young people are all the same as him. He can accept the transformation of corpses, but the transformation of these living people is still beyond his tolerance.
However, No. 14 let out a chuckle that was concealed by the mask, and sneered at George Blake: "What do you think a necromancer is? Although high-level necromancy does have the attributes of 'pure' and 'indestructible', but low-level necromancers
Waiting for necromancy is not so nice.
As a Necromancer apprentice, you may not even be able to count how many corpses you have come into contact with during your four years in the academy, right?
You are lucky, His Majesty the King has promulgated the Corpse Management Act in Egypt, so you can have regular and legal corpses to use.
If you think about it, you are living in the Middle Ages and want to learn necromancy. Where are you going to get the corpses? Should you dig graves? Or simply massacre a small town to get some fresh ones?"
Number Fourteen's question was so heart-wrenching that George Blake fell silent.
He really couldn't remember how many corpses he had come into contact with. After all, they had consumed at least one to three corpses almost every week for four years.
These corpses were obtained through the official Egyptian Corpse Management Bureau. Some of them were fresh enough and were only used for dissection and simple preliminary processing to familiarize them with the structure of the human body.
And some that are not too fresh or badly damaged can be given to them for contact summoning and making undead summons.
After four years of study, not to mention hundreds, but dozens of corpses a year, George Blake was sure that he had consumed it.
If it is true that, as No. 14 said, he lived in the Middle Ages, under the religious environment at that time, the only two ways to obtain the corpse were the two ways he mentioned.
In fact, even now, except for Egypt, it is still not easy for other countries to obtain corpses.
Officials in various countries can obtain some through hospitals or prisons, but the number will undoubtedly not be too many. After all, the demand for cadavers in various medical schools has never been met.
In this case, if living people could be studied, George Blake believed that many people would not mind conducting experiments and research directly on living people. After all, living people could be reused as corpses after death.
But even so, he still asked a question to No. 14: "Does His Majesty Chen Mo know these things?"
