Chapter 2 Talent Test
The next morning.
"Dad, what does the talent test look like?" Xiao Jingchen took his father Jingtian with his right hand and his mother Yuelu with his left hand. He walked on the slate road leading to the auditorium. Although it was still early in the morning, there were many people on the road. Today is the day of talent test every year. All parents' faces are full of expectation, and those children's faces are more curious.
Touching his son's head, Jing Tian smiled and said, "This talent test is mainly divided into two parts. First, the affinity test, also known as the entry test. Now the world is divided into three major professional systems, the warrior department, the mage department and the auxiliary department, the warrior department majors in fighting spirit, the mage department majors in magic, and the auxiliary department majors in spiritual power. This The first part is to test which kind of affinity you have with these three energies.
"Oh, is that so? What about the second part? Although he didn't understand it very well, Xiao Jingchen continued to ask.
"Each professional system contains several majors. The second part of this test is naturally to test which major you are suitable for. Of course, you can choose by yourself or test them one by one. But generally speaking, the child's talent is mostly related to the parents' talent, and the child's parents are not good at. The situation of Fu is relatively rare. In a word, talent mainly depends on heredity. Jing Tian smiled and came to a conclusion.
"What are the occupations of father and mother?" At this moment, Xiao Jingchen looked at his parents expectantly. As Jingtian said, talent is inherited, then his future career is likely to be one of the two parents.
"I, Berserker, and the weapon is the blood axe you saw yesterday. As for your mother, she is a singer." Jing Tian said casually.
"Singer?" This is the first time Xiao Jingchen has heard of this profession.
"It's singing." Jing Tian looked at Yuelu with a bad smile and said such a sentence that made Xiao Jingchen more confused.
"It's not serious." Yuelu gently hit her funny husband and said to Xiao Jingchen, "Don't listen to your father's. The singer is a kind of auxiliary profession. He majors in spiritual power and relies on singing skills to add gain or benefit reduction to the target."
"That's still singing." Jing Tian interrupted, but when he saw his wife's eyes with a little threat, the impulse to continue to speak was forcibly stopped by her.
"Oh! Then I want to be a madman like my father. How handsome a madman is. Xiao Jingchen looked at Jingtian with his eyes full of stars. Seeing that his son worshipped him so much, Jingtian was also secretly happy. Originally, he wanted his son to choose the same profession as himself. Xiao Jingchen's words were exactly what he wanted.
"Alas!" Hearing Xiao Jingchen's words, Yuelu sighed for some reason.
Before long, the family had come to the square in front of the auditorium. At most, several parents with their children were ready to take the test. Their expressions were more or less nervous. On the contrary, most of the children were not nervous. They gathered together in twos and threes and played with each other. .
These children do not understand the meaning of this talent test for them, but as experienced parents, they know very well that if they pass this test and have a certain potential, they can not only study in various magic martial arts colleges, but also get a good job in the city or the army in the future. For this northwest For the residents of a distant town, this is already their greatest expectation.
On the other hand, if these children do not have the potential to become combat careers, they can only do some ordinary work. Most of them will die in the town like their parents. Not to mention living in the city, it is difficult to enter the city once. Of course, they can also choose Choose to let your children go to schools that teach obscure knowledge. There, these children will learn a series of academic knowledge such as architectural mechanics and metallurgy. If they learn well, they can also get ahead in the future. However, not to mention whether they can learn well, most of them can find a good job with those who graduated from Magic Martial Arts College. Differently, many children who have graduated from the university are still unable to find a satisfactory job for various reasons. Finally, they can only continue to return to the town and live with their parents. Over time, few people here are willing to let their children go to the university.
At this moment, the sun has gradually risen, and the sun has sprinkled all over the square in front of the auditorium.
The door of the auditorium slowly opened on both sides. An old man came out. He looked about 60 years old and had a lot of wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were not as cloudy as that of an ordinary 60-year-old man. Instead, he gave people a sense of transparency. He was the mayor of Sauron.
"Please line up with the parents who come to accompany their children. The talent test is about to begin." Although the mayor is not young, he is full of anger. Everyone on this small square can hear his shouting.
Seeing the crowd line up, several young people standing behind the old man maintain the order of the line, and arrange for the children and parents to take the test to enter the auditorium.
Xiao Jingchen's family came relatively early, and naturally they were also the first to enter one of them.
At this moment, the auditorium is mainly divided into three parts. Most of the people on the left hand side are wearing magician robes, and most of the people on the right side are wearing tight clothes, while the group of people in the middle are dressed up. It doesn't look like coming for a talent test, but more like attending a dance held by a nobleman.
"These three parts are the warrior department, the mage department and the auxiliary department. You see, those who are dressed up are the testers of the auxiliary department. On our continent, the auxiliary department is the most popular. Especially in large-scale wars, a strong auxiliary department can even complete a reversal, but there is assistance. Talented people are just too few. Yuelu explained to Xiao Jingchen.
"Is that mother a strong man?" Xiao Jingchen looked at Yuelu. After all, he was still a child. All he cared about was whether his parents were strong or not. As for how powerful the profession was, it was not what he wanted to care about.
Yuelu smiled and said, "That's right."
"Is mom as strong as her father?" Xiao Jingchen asked with a happy smile on his face.
"You boy, do you want to provoke my relationship with your mother again?" Hearing Xiao Jingchen's words, Jing Tian gave his son a shudder.
"I'm just asking!" Xiao Jingchen covered his head and said aggrievedly. His poor appearance was as if Jingtian had done something to him.
"Why are you beating the child!" Seeing Xiao Jingchen's appearance, Yuelu hammered Jingtian.
"Okay, I won't hit him. Let's test it quickly." Jingtian said to Yuelu for mercy.
The two took Xiao Jingchen to the place of the warrior's affinity test. There were five tables, and each table was placed with a colorless and transparent crystal ball for the talent test. The child only needed to put his hand on the crystal ball.
"This affinity test is divided into three levels, low-level, intermediate and advanced. The colors displayed by the crystal ball are yellow, red and blue respectively, and each level is divided into elementary, intermediate and high levels. After a while, you can put your hand on it and concentrate." Jing Tian explained.
"Oh," Xiao Jingchen answered and walked over and put his right hand on the crystal ball in front of him. All his attention was focused on the crystal ball. In an instant, a deep red light lit up, "Middle and high level." The middle-aged man sitting behind the table immediately exclaimed. For some cities, this may be nothing, but in Sauron Town, where only a few children are qualified to go to the initial college every year, such affinity is already very good, but at that moment, in Jingtian's eyes A trace of disappointment flashed, but it immediately disappeared in my eyes.
"Dad, my affinity is intermediate and high-level!" Xiao Jingchen pulled Jingtian's big hand and said excitedly.
"Well, Dad saw it. That's good. Let's go. Let's test your professional potential in Berserker." Jing Tian took Xiao Jingchen's hand and walked to the place where the mad warrior's talent was tested.
"Big brother?" Just as Jingtian turned around, a voice came from behind. Hearing this sound, Jingtian was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
"Lin Zi?" Looking at the red-faced man in front of him, Jing Tian was a little puzzled.
"Yes, big brother, I'm Lin Zi." When the big man heard Jingtian call out his name, he rushed over excitedly and looked at Jingtian in a daze.
"Is it really you? Linzi, that's great." Jingtian saw the big man rushing in front of him, and also let go of the hand holding the little Jingchen and hugged the big man bear.
"Brother, why did you come to this town of Sauron?" For a long time, the two big men separated, and the big man who was called Linzi by Jingtian asked.
"Ha ha, it's hard to say. By the way, why did you come here?" Jing Tian smiled bitterly and changed the topic.
Seeing that Jingtian didn't want to mention it, the big man didn't ask much. "It happens that it's our legion's turn to work in Wucheng this year. I heard that I have nothing to do in Wucheng, so I came here." The big man scratched his head and smiled.
"We two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and we also left in a hurry..." Speaking of this, Jingtian did not go on.
Seeing the trace of sadness on Jingtian's face, the big man was also stunned, and then sighed. He turned his head and saw Xiao Jingchen standing next to Jingtian. "Big brother, is this your son?" With that, he pointed to Xiao Jingchen.
"Well, yes, I happened to bring him to do this talent test today." Jing Tian smiled and mentioned his precious son, and the unhappiness just now was also diluted a lot.
"It's eight years old in a flash, big brother. Today, you and my brothers meet again. Anyway, we have to be drunk." The big man touched Xiao Jingchen's head, and Xiao Jingchen also cleverly did not dodge.
"Well, okay!" Jing Tian nodded and said, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is your sister-in-law, Yuelu." Jing Tian took his wife's hand and introduced it to the big man.
"Sister-in-law, what's the use of my little brother in the future? Just say that when I was on the battlefield, the eldest brother took care of me a lot. My life, Lin Ba, was saved by the eldest brother." The big man patted his chest and said boldly.
"My brother, what are you talking about? I'll take this boy to test his potential first. When it's over here, we'll get together." Jing Tian patted Lin Ba on the shoulder and smiled.
"Okay, we have to get together this time." The big man laughed.
The moment he turned around, Xiao Jingchen saw that his parents' eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was a little sad. For unknown reason, he also learned from his parents and frowned his lovely eyebrows.
