The jobs Kolma assigned to Zheng Qing and others were very ordinary.
Of course, this general only applies to the 'Papa Magic' she mentioned before. In fact, Zheng Qing felt that the tasks that Kolma arranged for him were not simple at all. This made him feel a hint of regret in his heart.
The reason why I say ordinary is because the witches told them that their work is very 'academic' magic work - such as constructing magic circles, outlining talismans, mixing potions, etc., each of Zheng Qing and the three of them can find their own tasks in it.
.
The reason why it is not simple is that many of the requirements she made are beyond the level that lower-grade college students can achieve. For example, in the talisman section that Zheng Qing is responsible for, there are many basic talismans that are not even covered in fourth-grade textbooks, and only he
In this way, a 'professional' who has mastered a complete set of basic talismans and studied ancient talismans for more than half a semester can barely complete the task.
"You will give us three credits for this job..." Zheng Qing held the task list and scanned the requirements at a glance. He couldn't help complaining to Kolma: "Isn't it a bit too cheap..."
The long parchment list was filled with densely packed requests. Zheng Qing estimated that it was three feet long - this did not include the detailed explanations of the magic array diagrams on several additional parchment papers.
Before Kolma could answer, Xiao Xiao, who was standing nearby and looking down at the parchment list, interrupted and said thoughtfully: "It's not so much too cheap as it is a bit overestimating one's capabilities... Excuse me, we
We are only first-year students, are we capable of this kind of project? Moreover, where do you plan to set up this magic circle?"
As he said that, Xiao Xiao looked around, sizing up the layout of the second-floor hall, and finally shook his head: "The space here is too small, and according to the description in your request, the magic overflow after the magic circle is activated will be very serious... Are you planning to
Demolish this small building of yours?”
"Hahaha, you are indeed a special admissions student with the title of 'Doctor'. You can see so many things from the list I gave you." Korma laughed and took out a dusty bag from his pocket.
The small bag was placed in front of the three wizards:
"Of course the real magic circle will not be set up here... You just need to sit behind the desk and complete my requirements like doing homework. Of course, if you feel uncomfortable sitting, you can also choose to lie down on the carpet.
I have no restrictions on this."
Zheng Qing took the dusty little bag, put his hand in and touched it.
Then he took out a stack of peach boards used for seal carving talismans. Each piece was of different sizes, no longer than a ruler, more than an inch short, and evenly thick. When he looked at it roughly, it looked like different parts of a huge puzzle. Occasionally,
You can see the tenon and tenon structure.
Touch it again and take out the corresponding dragon blood ink, yellow paper, special talisman pen, medicinal raw materials wrapped in kraft paper, various gemstones, tools for constructing the magic circle, ink fountain thread, etc. The small bag seems to contain a lot of it.
dragon.
"What do you plan to use these things for?" Zheng Qing finally couldn't help it and asked the witch the purpose of her actions.
Although this kind of inquiry makes him seem unprofessional - professionals never ask the purpose of the employer's commission, they will only complete their commission seriously and responsibly - but for Zheng Qing, after curiosity rises, other needs are gone.
Move back.
After all, there is a cat living in his heart.
"What kind of assistance are you looking for us for?" Zheng Qing coughed dryly, repeated the question before, and rubbed his hands: "In the request for commission, you only mentioned 'talisman level above the registered wizard level' and 'registered wizard level'"
Pharmacist level, "registered wizard level divination level"... To be honest, this requirement is a bit vague... Of course, it doesn't mean that we don't meet the requirements..."
"Yes, you must be." Korma interrupted Zheng Qing's ramblings and smiled: "The wizard who has mastered all the basic talismans is standing in front of me. I can't find a wizard with a higher cost performance than you.
As for my purpose..."
She paused, turned around, and looked at the young men and women sitting together in the center of the hall.
"Do you know who the members of the Gini Cabin are?" She looked at Zheng Qing again, and without waiting for him to speak, she answered directly: "They are jugglers... Except for me, the other members of the club are all jugglers.
.And in the beginning, when I was little, they were my companions who played with me and grew up together.”
"But now, I am the only one who has gotten rid of that embarrassing identity, entered First University, and become a real wizard."
"And for them, if nothing happens, just like the boy said before, there will be no hope from birth to death. I noticed before that you were very surprised when you listened to the boy's answer... but this
It’s the miserable future of a magician.”
Looking directly at Zheng Qing, Kolma's expression was very solemn: "My purpose is very simple, which is to create hope for them."
What a great, admirable idea.
The above thought passed through Zheng Qing's mind, but at the same time he also realized that it was a very difficult, very difficult idea.
"There are outstanding mortals, and there are ordinary wizards. For this world, no fate is tragic. Heaven has its own rules, and all things are stupid." Xiao Xiao closed his notebook at some point. He raised his head.
, said in a very calm tone: "If possible, I would like to understand your specific ideas."
Korma looked at him in surprise.
"Of course." The witch twirled the slender pencil in one hand and replied very readily: "The theory is very basic and very simple."
"If you know the first law of magic, you should understand that the magic in the universe will neither be created nor disappear out of thin air. It will only be transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one individual to another.
Another individual. And the total amount of energy remains unchanged. This is one of the most common and basic theorems in the magic world."
At this point, Kolma turned his face and looked at the three wizards with burning eyes: "What I want to do is just to remove the energy that is slowly wasted from some old and immortal, rigid and inflexible existences.
The magic power is just transferred to my friends."
"What you have to do is to help me complete the relevant transformation formations and ensure that the magic power is poured into them as much as possible."
As she said that, the witch raised her head, glanced at the center of the hall, and said with high spirits: "If everything goes well, in half a year, like us, they will be able to embark on the path of magic under the protection of First University."
In the center of the hall, more than a dozen young men and women in gray robes were still sitting together, praying in low voices and looking forward to it. Everyone's face seemed to be filled with a sheen of hope.
This kind of scene makes people feel happy just looking at it.
