From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 3 The so-called test The so-called witch doctor

Soon after, the day of testing arrived.

The test method is not complicated at all. All three witch doctors of the tribe took a bark 'teaching material' that could be turned over. After grouping them, they used it in front of each child. It was not too slow, but it was enough to see clearly what was written on the page.

The speed at which content turns pages.

After that, let the children copy the contents of the "textbook" by dictation as much as possible.

What is shown in the "textbook" is a pattern that is as regular as possible. The witch doctors are also very fair. It is the first time for the children to see these patterns, and there is no possibility of memorizing them in advance.

The little friends in the Little Troll group completed the display session almost at the same time as the other two groups. But like the other little friends, he did not start replicating what he had done at the first time.

Instead of seeing the content, he closed his eyes in a daze.

'Am I such a genius?'

Reviewing the content that was basically clear in his mind, the little troll was a little surprised. He had never experienced the feeling of being a "student master", and he immediately became happy again.

'Perhaps the superposition of mental power from two lifetimes will affect memory?'

Although I have never heard of the so-called "spiritual power" in this life, who knew that I read a lot of leisure books in my previous life?

So, the little troll randomly made up a concept that he didn't know was true or false, and enjoyed the feeling of "photographic memory" with peace of mind.

"Blade Ya, you need to know the power of the witch doctor."

"The bark has knowledge, magic beasts, and magic core; medicinal herbs, efficacy; traps, prey. But it will be broken, so it needs to be rewritten; records, I don't understand, so the witch doctor said it."

So, Blade Ya left with the witch doctors. From today on, he will start studying as a 'witch doctor'.

As Saberya complained about the new name in his mind, he made up another mind.

‘Don’t’ from now on, when my words work, I will definitely change this bad name.’

The witch doctor who said "Crescent Moon" was slightly out of breath when he spoke, and Blade Ya could sensitively feel the decline of his "energy and spirit".

It was a new day, and he was just a little depressed. Blade Ya was waiting at the door of the old witch doctor early in the morning, looking like he wanted to knock on the door but hesitated. Fortunately, he did not wait too long, and the three witch doctors came from their respective places.

After he came out of the house and said hello to each other, the eldest one was responsible for teaching him, and the two younger ones went out with their bodies stooped. For such a large tribe, there are only three witch doctors in total, and there is always more to do.

things.

On the one hand, it is the psychological shadow caused by sudden death in the previous life; on the other hand, it is also because of not trusting the methods of witch doctors.

In the end, they cheered and ranked the little troll as the most talented witch doctor apprentice in history.

Blade Ya, who didn't understand what the so-called "price" was, left happily. He packed up everything that day and moved into the witch doctors' courtyard overnight.

emm Although strictly speaking, they have no concept of "history".

Although he still doesn't know whether the witch doctor is really capable, the little troll is still very happy. In his two lives, he has finally become 'benign and special'.

'This feels great'

"The bark, dampness, and insect infestation need to be inspected. If there are any defects, they need to be redone. You can't do it. You can only do it after everything is explained. You will have to talk about it in the future."

The old witch doctor led Blade Ya to another place in the courtyard, a large room similar to a warehouse. Opening the door, wooden frames extended in, and the old witch doctor led him to introduce them one by one.

"See? The witch doctor is knowledge and power. Stronger, I will see later. But stronger, the price is greater."

Among them, there is the kind of bark 'book' that I have seen before. These things are not fine in themselves and are limited by the processing conditions. Each 'page' is quite thick, and there is no text. The whole book is composed of pictures, and each 'book' contains

There aren't many things that can be recorded.

This part can also be understood. For example, for the same thing, there must be some differences between the paintings by predecessors and the paintings by later generations. After successive generations have repaired and renovated many times, the square ones can become round. Therefore, only by understanding before

Based on what a person is describing, he can then repair and renovate it into something that is convenient for him to remember and understand.

Therefore, these "books" alone occupy most of the "warehouse".

Blade Ya was stunned. Even though he had already prepared for the nature of this world, he still felt incredible when this fantastic scene really appeared in front of him.

Among them, a considerable part of the credit can be attributed to the developed "brain power" of the witch doctors. In the short contact, Blade Ya clearly felt that the witch doctors were different from ordinary trolls. They were more logical and thinking.

They are also more active, but the language system limits their performance, and they sound like fools when they speak.

Of course, as far as the final result is concerned, there is still a certain gap between him and a true 'photographic memory'. During the reproduction, there were many differences in details. Even so, it still shocked the old witch doctor.

The three of them came together and performed a series of tests to confirm the authenticity.

This distrust was broken very quickly. The younger of the three witch doctors later staged a scene that shattered his outlook on life.

"this"

Looking at the current inheritance methods of the trolls alone, using an extremely underdeveloped language system and all kinds of strange "picture records", it is actually incredible that they can pass down knowledge in an orderly manner to this day.

In addition, among this batch of 'thigh-high' little trolls, only he passed the test and became a 'witch doctor apprentice'. The other children's test results were mediocre, and according to experience, they were not suitable to become witch doctors.

This series of exchanges made Blade Ya feel a little emotional.

After saying this, the witch doctor raised the crystal in his hand and closed his eyes for a moment. A light blue crescent-shaped curved blade visible to the naked eye formed in front of his hand and was launched at an extremely fast speed.

For a whole night, he was immersed in fantasies about the future, such as space movement, face jumping, time stop and hard control, seventeen or eight attack spells, which naturally gave him insomnia.

Hearing a "whoosh" sound, he looked again and saw a rather deep cut on the trampled solid ground in front of him.

Benya nodded to express his understanding. If the hand-drawn things did not have supporting text annotations, it would be completely different after a generation.

After leaving the testing place, the witch doctors led Blade Ya to the center of the 'kindergarten', an inconspicuous courtyard. After letting him wait for a while, one of them took out an irregular stone from the house.

crystal.

'Magic! I'm going to learn magic!'

Since it was just a matter of 'gaining knowledge', the initial teaching ended here. The witch doctors sent him back to pack his things and start formal learning after he moved here tomorrow.

Thinking like this, after accepting the new name according to tradition, the little troll should call him "Blade Ya" from now on.

‘You can’t just say that when you start learning to be a witch doctor, you have to give up on physical exercise’

The most obvious example is that regarding the previous set of test content, the witch doctors were able to write down and accurately copy two or three times more content than he did in the same time.

If nothing unexpected happens, it may not be long before traces of civilization begin to appear on these witch doctors.

New book, need collection, recommendation, thank you.
