wizards start with occlumency

Chapter 5 New Blood
Room 3-016 is small in size.

The layout inside is also very simple, with a bed, a table and a chair.

There are pillows and quilts on the bed, and several brochures are on the table.

As for the switch on the wall at the door, the power supply line similar to electric wires, and the lighting fixtures on the ceiling that resemble electric lights, Link can no longer be shocked.

Get used to it?
No, just adjusted the mentality.

No matter how sci-fi or magical things appear in the wizarding world in the future, Link can quickly accept them, even if it is Gundam or Transformers.

Link closed the door, sat down at the table, put the package on the table and opened it.

The contents of the package are simple.

Two sets of clothes without patches, some dry food for easy storage, and 2 gold coins and 63 silver coins wrapped in layers of cloth.

A family of blacksmiths took out 2 gold coins and 63 silver coins on the premise of not hurting their muscles and bones and affecting their survival.

Rewrapping the gold and silver coins, Link pressed his right hand on the package, feeling complicated.

Is it just money?
This is a lot of love and care.

After a long time, Link took several deep breaths, and with the help of "Occlumency", he regained his composure.

He got up and put the package on the inner side of the bed against the wall, then sat back at the table and flipped through the booklets on the table.

Link is literate.

The specific situation is not clear elsewhere, but Viscount Holliday has a strict rule that children between the ages of six and 12 must receive literacy education.

When the soul first passed through this world, Link didn't know the reason for such regulations.

After all, Viscount Holliday is not a public servant serving the people, but rides on the heads of the leaders to do his best.

Now, Link can more or less guess one or two, anyway, it has something to do with the annual wizard qualification test.

Illiteracy is not conducive to a wizarding education, is it?
The characters in the wizarding world are mainly pictographs, mixed with some pictophonetic and ideographic characters. The characters are highly similar to oracle bone inscriptions, but there is a big difference from Chinese in pronunciation.

To give an inappropriate example, the word "mine" is pronounced as "kuang" in modern Chinese, but if it is placed in the wizarding world, it will be pronounced as "kewuang".

To give an even more inappropriate but intuitive example, "lamp" is written as "lamp" and pronounced as "lamp".

This is roughly the case.

If it weren't for the memory and physical habits of the original body, Link really wouldn't be able to quickly adapt to the words and pronunciation of the wizarding world.

The first booklet is very thin, only five or six pages, with the words "Passengers Notice" written on the cover.

Link carefully read from beginning to end, and summed it up. In fact, there are only three items that need special attention.

One is that fighting is prohibited on board, the other is that it is forbidden to deliberately damage items and facilities on board, and the third is that the restaurant is on the fourth floor cabin, which is available around the clock and can be taken as needed, but waste is prohibited.

As for not being able to cast spells or conduct experiments in the room, and have to go to a special place, Link said, I don’t know these things yet!
Notice to Passengers moves aside, and Link picks up the second booklet, What New Bloods Need to Know.

After reading it, Link's emotions were not affected by the content inside, and he was more or less expected.

The so-called "new blood" refers to the young girls with wizard qualifications collected from the many islands scattered in the four oceans by the wizard organizations of the main continent.

These teenagers have neither received relevant education since they were young, nor do they have the common currency of the main continent - magic stones, so they simply cannot survive independently on the main continent.

Therefore, the moment the new bloods were selected, they already tacitly agreed that they would sign an agreement with a certain wizarding organization on the mainland.

The content is roughly that the wizarding organization will provide the new blood with the cost of going to the main continent, provide four years of tuition and board and lodging, and guarantee the most basic learning and survival of the new blood, and the new blood will need to sign a contract with the wizarding organization after four years. A further agreement to formally join the organization.

It's just the same agreement, but there is a huge gap between being promoted to an official wizard within four years and not being promoted to an official wizard.

The official wizard signed a ten-year work service agreement, during which he was free, paid for his work, and had good benefits.

Unofficial wizards sign a 20-year work service agreement. During this period, they have no personal freedom and work remuneration is extremely low, similar to that of slaves.

If there is a war, the latter will have to act as cannon fodder!
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in this world, no matter what, there is always a price to pay."

Link closed the "Instructions for New Bloods", moved it under the "Instructions for Passengers", and picked up the third and final booklet, "Overview of the Wizarding Organization of the West Coast Tudor Region".

This booklet is about the situation of the wizarding organization in the Tudor region on the west coast of the main mainland, the last stop of the White Sail's voyage, but it's really just an overview.

The description of each wizarding organization is like scratching the surface, with a few strokes, only mentioning who the founder is, who the current controller is, what they are good at, and where they are located.

After reading it, it is not that there is no gain.

Link found the one that suited him very well from 39 wizard organizations.

River South School of Biology and Medicine.

The name is a bit weird, but its brief introduction is that it is very good at plant cultivation, animal cultivation, extraordinary medical treatment and life blessing. It is suitable for new blood who are compatible with water elements, wood elements, earth elements, and light elements.

"No accident, just choose it."

Link closed the booklet and made a decisive decision.

Of course, he didn't have to hang himself from this tree.

If there are other better options, why not do it?
After finishing the three booklets and placing them in the upper right corner of the desktop, Link suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to do.

The wizard of Paro had disappeared.

Jimny, Chris, Christina, and Jasmine don't have any information to dig out, so there's no need to forcibly mix them together, just let it go.

It is mentioned in the "Passenger Notice" that it will arrive at the port of Manham in the Tudor region on the west coast five days later.

"What are you going to do these five days?"

Link couldn't help thinking deeply.

After a while, Link made a decision to practice "Occlumency".

After all, it was the first draw in exchange for saving enough money with great difficulty, so it must be used well.

As a result, Link's five-day life on the boat became regular.

Go to the restaurant on the fourth floor cabin for dinner, and have a brief chat with Jimny, Chris, Christina, and Jasmine.

During the rest of the time, he stayed in his room and devoted himself to practicing "Occlumency".

I don't pay any attention to the social interactions between new bloods.

I have to say that although the system costs money, it works well.

Learning "Occlumency", which has a very high threshold, is as easy as eating and drinking for Link.

In just five days, Link has practiced "Occlumency" to the highest level, which can be maintained around the clock, preventing other people's mental power from invading the brain, and can also disguise memories at will to confuse others.

Link made another attempt.

Based on the memory palace method, he operated the "Occlumency Technique" and built his own thinking palace.
