Chapter 159 Breeder Assessment
Lilith's hut, the site of the breeder assessment.
Hlock discovered that there were a total of five breeder assistants participating in the assessment this time, of which only two, including himself, were breeder assistants from Lilith's cabin, and the remaining three were breeder assistants from other little wizard organizations.
At the official breeder assessment site, there are three official wizards from Lilith's cabin. The white wizard robes of these three official wizards all have the badges of the senior breeder certification certificate, and their wizard robes also wear various award-winning magic plant certification badges in the southeast corner that they developed.
The most prominent one among them is undoubtedly the person sitting in the middle, wearing a purple wizard robe and a violet wizard hat, with a blue arcane orb surrounding the wizard hat.
This person is Mrs. Morgana, the teacher of Witch Sophia.
Locke withdrew his gaze from Mrs. Morgana, and followed the other four breeder assistants to salute the three official wizards and senior breeders in charge of the assessment.
The three breeder assistants from outside small and medium-sized wizard organizations were undoubtedly more nervous than they were. Facing the three official wizards, their behavior even became very stiff due to being too nervous, and even their voices were distorted when they saluted.
Because in small and medium-sized wizarding organizations, there are often only one or two formal wizards, and their status is higher than the formal wizards in Lilith's cabin. That wizarding organization is often their one voice.
An official wizard next to Morgana, senior breeder Jonas Cortez, is best known for his invention of an advanced magic plant called Boundary Moss, which can generate a ring-level barrier on its own.
The boundaries of each alchemy hut in Lilith's hut are created using the seeds of this high-grade magic plant as a medium for casting spells.
That is a textbook-level advanced magic plant. It is said to have characteristics that are completely different from those of apprentice-level magic plants.
Advanced magic plants are the domain of advanced breeders.
The magic plants that Locke has come into contact with so far are only those of mid-to-high level or below.
Jonas Kolter, as a silver-haired old man, coughed and said: "The Emerald Green Nursery, the Seven Color Star Garden, the Symbiosis Brigade, and the two breeder assistants from our Lilith Cabin, all are here."
"Then, okay? Let’s start the assessment.”
Jonas Cortez nodded slightly to Mrs. Morgana and the other senior breeder. Of course, he obviously respected Mrs. Morgana more, and Mrs. Morgana’s status was also higher among the official wizards.
Jonas Cortez then said to the assistants of the breeders who participated in the assessment: "Breeders have a very special status in the minds of wizards in the direction of plant magic in the southeast corner. We explore magic plants, study magic plants, record magic plants, and preserve magic plants..."
He waved his hand, and suddenly the entire assessment site, which was originally an ordinary stone room, suddenly became filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers. Wisps of green seedlings grew from the gaps in the walls, and brilliant flowers bloomed in this stone room.
The breeder's assistant from the Symbiosis Brigade was younger, and he couldn't help but make a sound at this time. "It's so beautiful."
Jonas Cortes affirmed: "Yes, it's just too beautiful."
"The field of breeding is a kind of aesthetics. Advanced breeders can even personally change the ecological environment of a place and recreate it. Magic plant ecology. Your aesthetics will be reflected in the magic plants you cultivate with your own hands. "
"So, I have always believed that the invisible talent of a breeder is...your aesthetics. Your aesthetics determine how far you can go."
“Young breeders, as a senior breeder, I welcome you to enter the field of breeding today. Please be mentally prepared for today’s exam.”
“This exam represents our Lilith House. The standard for determining the level of a formal breeder begins."
Locke knew in his heart that there were many first-class wizard apprentices who could not pass the formal breeder examination after more than ten years, or even decades.
The gap between first-class wizard apprentices is huge.
Some first-class wizard apprentices are about to become debt slaves and cannot afford to learn meditation methods. Some first-class wizard apprentices have various projects in their hands, and they are just small shrimps compared to them.
Jonas Cortes was about to announce that the first round of the official breeder examination would be the beginning of the theoretical examination.
But at this moment, Mrs. Morgana, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. Mrs. Morgana was a middle-aged woman who looked fat, but her face looked graceful and luxurious. She wore some jewelry. She wore large gemstone rings on three fingers of her right hand, and a deep-sea pearl necklace hung around her neck.
Every pearl on the necklace is probably obtained from the magical creature oyster in the deep sea, and is not an ordinary product.
Mrs. Morgana suddenly said, "Jonas, wait a minute."
Locke lowered his head. He felt that Mrs. Morgana's eyes stayed on him for a moment, but soon looked at others.
I just want to pass the breeder assessment normally and get the official breeder certificate.
I hope that the grudge between Mrs. Morgana and Teacher Sophia will not affect me.
Jonas Cortez turned to look at Mrs. Morgana. It seemed that they were both official wizards, but there were some differences.
Mrs. Morgana obviously has more qualifications and more power. "Jonas, I feel that in previous years we only tested the technical level and theoretical knowledge of breeders, which is too narrow an assessment."
"I am the examiner this year, and I think I need to add another round of examinations - the breeder industry standard manual test..."
"This is mainly to let the younger breeders know how to awe and respect the rules, instead of being like some people who regard the rules as nothing and can trample on them and modify them at will when necessary."
"We want to give the younger generations a good head start. "
"Mr. Jonas, Mr. Malcolm, what do you two think?"
Jonas and Malcolm are a little at a loss at this moment, because the exam items over the years have been relatively fixed and have a framework.
But this year’s examiner, Mrs. Morgana, actually changed this framework directly.
Neither of them knew whether to agree or not.
After all, this is likely to be an inquiry from senior advisers and superintendents.
But Mrs. Morgana also has many students in Lilith's cabin and is quite senior. Apart from Harlan Vera, she is one of the oldest official wizards. Therefore, she has a high status and is the top academic authority.
They are two ordinary formal wizards, and it is difficult for them to refute Mrs. Morgana's serious suggestions face to face.
At least give Mrs. Morgana some face.
After thinking about it, Jonas and Malcolm could only agree without confidence. After all, Mrs. Morgana is the examiner, and it is her right to set the scope and content of the examination.
It is just that Malcolm and Jonas discussed with Mrs. Morgana that this newly added test item can only be used as a reference for comprehensive performance and cannot directly eliminate candidates in this round.
Performance will be rewarded with bonus points, while performance with poor performance will be deducted.
In this way, they can minimize the impact of the sudden addition of this new test item without offending Mrs. Morgana's face.
In fact, Malcolm and Jonas had already expected this situation. After all, Mrs. Morgana, as the senior official wizard of Lilith's cabin, had no restrictions on her actions, and few people dared to refuse her request face to face.
Furthermore, the Breeder Industry Standards Manual is indeed published by the White Wizard Association, and every breeder is required to read it to prevent the recurrence of things like the Abyssal Plant Catastrophe of the Green Ring Society.
Hence, this newly added examination content is actually quite reasonable.
It's just this new test item added by Mrs. Morgana, which still makes all the candidates except Locke feel flustered.
The breeder exam was already difficult, but now the results have suddenly changed, so they are naturally at a loss as to what to do.
Locke breathed a sigh of relief. "No wonder the teacher asked me to memorize the Breeder's Industry Standards Manual several times before taking the exam. 』
ulate, the teacher has long expected that Mrs. Morgana would do this. 』
『After all, it is the student who understands the teacher. The two of them are one family. 』
