Chapter 68 Sword and Shield
With a dejected look on his face, Merolo pursed his lips towards Caisha on the table and said, "Because of this broken test!"

"Test?" Mei Jiansong looked at the colored sand on the table and asked in confusion: "What test?"

Melolo was about to explain, but Qi Hongfei on the side said uncertainly: "This seems to be a test for the apprentice magician, right?"

"Huh?" Melolo said with a surprised look: "Uncle Qi also knows about this test?"

Mei Jiansong beside him couldn't help but look at Qi Hongfei, "A test for the apprentice magician?"

Qi Hongfei nodded thoughtfully and explained: "Yes, this test is called the Colorful Sand Test. It is an older test to test the talent of demon refining. Today's demon refiners have already used it very much when selecting apprentices. This test is used less often, but there are still some powerful magicians who retain this method."

"Colored sand test?" Mei Jiansong glanced at the colored sand on the table and asked in confusion: "What kind of test method?"

"It's very simple, just screen out a certain amount of colored sand of different colors." Qi Hongfei explained with a smile.

"Uh, is it that simple?" Mei Jiansong was stunned.

"No, no, no." Qi Hongfei said with a half-smile: "This test is not that simple. It extremely tests people's patience and mentality. After ordinary people screen for a period of time, they will feel boring and impatient, and it is difficult to persist. .”

Mei Jiansong was not stupid. After hearing what Qi Hongfei said, he quickly realized the difficulty of the colored sand test.

"Listening to what Brother Qi said, it seems a bit difficult." Mei Jiansong nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask with interest, "I just don't know how the results of this test are judged?"

Qi Hongfei thought: "I also learned about the colored sand test through a demon refining master. If I remember correctly, it seems that the test results are determined based on time."

"How long?" Mei Jiansong nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "How long will it take to be qualified?"

"Well..." Qi Hongfei pursed his lips and smiled: "According to the original master, if you can persist for half an hour, you are considered qualified."

"Half an hour?" Mei Jiansong thought, "That shouldn't be difficult."

On the side, Merolo widened his eyes in astonishment and said in disbelief: "No way? Don't you have to sift all the colored sand to be considered qualified?"

Qi Hongfei was slightly startled, glanced at the large jar of colored sand on the table, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "How can such a large jar of colored sand be sifted through in one go?"

"Strange, if that's the case, then why does the old man want me to screen them all?" Melolo couldn't help but be confused.

Qi Hongfei smiled lightly and said: "Maybe the magician is not willing to accept you as his disciple?"

"Huh?!" Merolo suddenly woke up and realized that he had been swiped. "But that's not right. I clearly saw that kid sifting through the jar of colored sand with my own eyes."

As soon as these words came out, it was Mei Jiansong and Qi Hongfei's turn to be shocked.

"Luoluo, what did you just say? Can anyone really sift through such a large jar of colored sand?" Qi Hongfei asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I watched him screen it with my own eyes." Merolo nodded.

Qi Hongfei glanced at Mei Jiansong in surprise, and said in disbelief: "If someone can really sift through so many colorful sands in one breath, then he is probably a rare demon refining genius. I don't know who this little guy is in your mouth." ?”

"What kind of person is this? He's just a little butcher who kills pigs, a very annoying guy~!" Melolo snorted.

"The little butcher who kills pigs?" Qi Hongfei had a strange expression and thought Melolo was joking with him.

Mei Jiansong seemed to have thought of something, and asked with great interest: "Is this the little brother who guided you to get started?"

"Yes, that's him!" Merolo gritted his teeth and said, "I found his residence a few days ago, and then I talked to his teacher about teaching me how to refine demons. Then his teacher said, as long as I can If you pass this test, you will agree to accept me as your disciple."

"Is that so?" Mei Jiansong nodded thoughtfully, then frowned and looked at Qi Hongfei: "Brother Qi, in your opinion, what is the level of the magician that Luo Luo is testing?"

Qi Hongfei frowned and thought: "To be honest, just by using colored sand to test this, this magician is very extraordinary."

"So, it would be a good thing if Luoluo could learn demon refining from him?" Mei Jiansong said.

"It should be." Qi Hongfei nodded with a slight smile, "But I am more interested in the little brother Luoluo mentioned. Being able to sift through such a large jar of colored sand in one go is really not something that ordinary people can do."

Seeing Qi Hongfei's interest, Melolo's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and he jumped to Qi Hongfei's side and said coquettishly: "Uncle Qi, you are so powerful, why don't you come with me and let the old man accept me as your Disciple?"

"Isn't this... not good?" Qi Hongfei said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Apprenticeship is a matter of sincerity, and your idea is wrong."

"Uncle Qi is right. Where can I find a disciple like you?" Mei Jiansong said angrily.

"But I've been tortured crazy by this crappy test for the past two days. I can't do it at all~!" Melolo said with a depressed look on his face.

"Then keep practicing. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for your Uncle Qi and I to visit again." Mei Jiansong thought deeply. "Okay." Merolo nodded unsatisfied, then asked curiously: "By the way, Dad, do you and Uncle Qi have anything to do with me?"

Mei Jiansong and Qi Hongfei were slightly startled, and then they realized that they had almost forgotten the important matter.

"That's what happened. Your Uncle Qi discussed it with me and wanted to introduce you directly to the Element Palace for further study after you graduate." Mei Jiansong's eyes flickered and said: "How about Luo Luo, are you interested? "

"Elemental Palace?" Melolo blinked his big eyes and said in astonishment: "Uncle Qi can really recommend me to the Elemental Palace? Could it be that Uncle Qi is from the Elemental Palace?"

"That's not true." Qi Hongfei shook his head with a smile and explained: "After a magician obtains the title of a certain palace, he will get a recommended quota, and the quota in Uncle Qi's hand is still empty."

"In other words, after I graduate, I don't need to go to the Advanced Academy and can directly enter the Palace of Elements?" Melolo was extremely surprised.

"That's right." Qi Hongfei chuckled and nodded, "But when you go to the Elemental Palace, you can't embarrass Uncle Qi~!"

"Uncle Qi, don't worry. Not only will I not embarrass you, your niece, I will also give you face!" Melolo said confidently.

Qi Hongfei smiled happily and couldn't help but joked: "Haha, then Uncle Qi is just waiting to see you shine in the Elemental Palace."

……

In the small courtyard in the suburbs, Kang Chenzi stared at Da Zhuang and Er Pang for study all night last night, and was currently searching for information in the study.

Zhu Youchen went to the blacksmith shop in Lanxin City early in the morning and bought back a lot of ordinary weapons. According to the method Kang Chenzi said last night, he gave them to Da Zhuang and Er Pang one by one for testing.

Just as Zhu Youchen expected, whatever swords, guns and sticks were thrust into the hands of Da Zhuang and Er Pang would be thrown away.

Only when he put a long sword into Da Zhuang's hand, Da Zhuang didn't throw it away. Instead, he waved the long sword to feel it, and then handsomely put the long sword back into the scabbard and lifted it up. in hand.

"It turns out I like to use swords after a long time." Zhu Youchen looked at Da Zhuang thoughtfully, then frowned and looked at Er Pang on the other side.

Unlike Da Zhuang, Er Pang couldn't find the right one after trying all types of weapons.

This made Zhu Youchen a little bit difficult to deal with. You know, in order to find suitable weapon types for them, Zhu Youchen deliberately bought all the weapon types that could be seen in the world, which cost a total of [-] magic dust.

But among the many weapons, there is none that Erpang likes.

Just when Zhu Youchen was thinking about what other types of weapons there were, Erpang suddenly walked towards a pile of weapons that he had thrown on the ground, then picked up a shield from the pile of weapons, and then picked up a round wheel blade and pointed it at Zhu Youchen started making gestures.

Zhu Youchen stared blankly at the two weapons that the second fat man was gesturing back and forth, and gradually understood what the second fat man meant.

"Uh, do you mean to combine the shield with the wheel blade? Make it a weapon that can both attack and defend?" Zhu Youchen asked tentatively.

Er Pang seemed to understand Zhu Youchen's words, and immediately stopped gesticulating, and then nodded towards Zhu Youchen.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Zhu Youchen stared at Erpang in wonder, and then turned his eyes to Da Zhuang.

Before he could ask, he saw Da Zhuang holding a long sword in his hand and turning his head away arrogantly.

At this time, Kang Chenzi, who had been studying in the study for a long time, just walked out.

"Teacher, Da Zhuang and Er Pang seem to be able to understand me!" Zhu Youchen couldn't help but share his findings with Kang Chenzi.

But Kang Chenzi laughed dumbly and said: "What a fuss, they have developed self-awareness, and they can naturally understand people's words. When their consciousness gradually takes shape, it will not be a strange thing for them to speak."

"That's true." Zhu Youchen nodded dumbly and asked curiously: "By the way, teacher, will they be able to fight without my control in the future?"

"Yes, you can, but the premise is that they have to listen to you." Kang Chenzi nodded and smiled: "In addition, the linked souls still need to be linked. After all, their power still comes from your body, but it doesn't need to be You just give the order."

"Listening to what you said, why do you think it is a good thing for the demon to have self-awareness?" Zhu Youchen asked doubtfully.

Kang Chenzi smiled and said: "There's nothing surprising. Everything has a good side and a bad side. It's like your human soul is incomplete. It was originally a bad thing, but now it has become a good thing?"

Zhu Youchen nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "There is another thing I can't figure out. Why can't the self-awareness of the demon puppet live in harmony with the puppet master?"

"Who told you we can't live in harmony?" Kang Chenzi asked with a smile.

"Uh, can I?"

"Of course." Kang Chenzi said with a smile: "But the chance is relatively small. Most demon dolls that develop self-awareness will eventually challenge the original consciousness and embark on the road of back-devouring the original body."
