Arcane Lord

Xia Duo got the last 370 coins, the biggest of which was the extra war merit, but he couldn't keep the money for long, and he would soon have to subsidize others.

Of course, for him, it was not a loss, but a big profit. The two magic items, the necklace, at least was a "big item" that touched the deep magic network only in terms of magic aura.

And the small forest wolf statue, although it was relatively weak in terms of magic aura, if it was really related to the incarnation of the wolf, it might be more valuable than the necklace.

...

After dividing the gold coins, it was time to go our separate ways. Everyone met by chance and only got along for less than a month, so there was really nothing to remember.

After handing in the Tower of Time badge to Master Horst, Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower with Dean, Sammy and others.

On the way from the military camp to the Mage Tower, the snow was a foot thick, and it was still raining, and it creaked when stepping on the stone road.

Only in the central square was there no snow, and even no snowflakes fell on his head. Xia Duo looked at this magical scene in surprise.

Just one step away, there is another world!

Under the statue of the great arcanist Savile in the center of the square, a group of guards were setting up the scene, as if they were going to hold a meeting.

But none of this had anything to do with him. The four apprentices slowed down their pace and took a look, then continued to the north, leaving the square and stepping into the wind and snow.

When Xia Duo passed through the unique gate of the Tower of Time and stepped into the first floor hall, the severe cold was instantly dispelled, and the whole person was wrapped in a warm current.

He couldn't help but let out a hearty cry, "It's more comfortable inside the Mage Tower!"

At this moment, Xia Duo had an unparalleled desire to own a Mage Tower of his own! If nothing else, it's worth it for this constant temperature environment all year round!

After returning to the dormitory, Xia Duo checked his personal belongings and found nothing missing. Then he called out the tower spirit, "Tower spirit, request: list the optional courses."

"Apprentice Xia Duo, currently available courses: none."

Xia Duo almost subconsciously asked, "Why?"

But obviously, this did not conform to the tower spirit's inquiry rules, so naturally he could not get any answer. Xia Duo, who reacted, immediately asked again according to the rules.

And this relatively abstract question, the tower spirit actually answered, "Apprentice Xia Duo, affected by the orc tide, all courses are temporarily closed, and the opening time is undetermined."

"This is troublesome!"

Xia Duo was not satisfied with this answer, but he could not do anything to the tower spirit. Instead, he had to worry about asking the wrong question and delaying the response time.

The Mage Tower did not offer classes, which meant that his daily opportunity to ask questions was wasted. He now wanted to find a formal mage to ask - how to contact the deep magic network.

Apprentices can only contact the shallow part of the magic network. If they rely on their own research, it is unknown how much time it will take!

Although Xia Duo was confident that he could get in touch with the deep magic network through his own research, wouldn't the ready-made answer be attractive?

It's attractive, especially attractive!

Especially when Xia Duo already had enough understanding of the principles of 0-ring spells and the nature of shallow magic networks, the only thing he lacked was pure time.

This was just a shortcut to save time, who wouldn't want it!

It's like a carpenter doesn't mind buying finished furniture from a shopping mall!

Time waits for no one. Compared with the conservative Nether people, he is more willing to use krypton gold or communication to reduce the time to acquire knowledge and become a formal mage as soon as possible.

From this, he even thought that the greater the mage or arcane master, the more it should be like this in essence. Compared with the acquisition of their own knowledge, the amount of other people's gains is secondary.

The weaker and more ignorant people are, the more they will guard their knowledge.

This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Just when Xia Duo was considering how to become a formal mage as soon as possible without courses, the tower spirit actually took the initiative to greet him-

"Apprentice Xia Duo, please go to the central square as soon as possible to participate in the award ceremony."

Huh? Reward ceremony?

Shado immediately thought of the scene he saw when he just passed by the central square, but the question came again, is he also qualified to participate in the reward ceremony?

Just because they killed a few orcs in the forest? Or because they killed the wizard?

But no matter what, since the tower spirit notified him, it should be true.Shado immediately changed into a clean outer robe and left the dormitory. In the elevator, he met Sammy.

"You were notified too?"

"Yes, the tower spirit notified me just now." Sammy also felt very incredible. He didn't think that their merits could be rewarded again.

Soon, the elevator came to the first floor, and many apprentices were walking outside the wizard tower.

"Look, so many people, we are not going to be spectators, right?"

"Not sure, wait for Dwane and Dean, I think they should have received the notice too."

The two waited by the gate. After a while, dozens of apprentices went out from here, and at this timeShado finally discovered that some people received the notice from the tower spirit, while others just went to watch the excitement, and the latter accounted for the vast majority.

Xiaduo was delighted, which meant that in addition to their military achievements, they would most likely be rewarded again.

Sammy was also delighted, and the two discussed the criteria for this reward and the magic performed in the square until Dean and Dwayne arrived.

"Have you also received the notice from the Tower Spirit?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come!"

Haha——

...

Central Square.

The Central Square was very lively at this time. Many people had come to the south of the Great Archmage statue, and more were coming from the East, South, and West Districts.

Shado and his four companions followed the other apprentices and came to the north of the Great Archmage statue. There were servants leading them there, and the crowd in front was obviously divided into two parts.

One part directly bypassed the Great Archmage statue and went to the people in the south. It seemed that they were onlookers.

As for the other part, Shado noticed that there were only a dozen people, who were taken to the town hall in the north by the servants. It seemed that Shado still underestimated his task force.

As he got closer, Shado found that a servant was holding a piece of parchment in his hand and identifying people, "Master Shado, Master Dean, please come this way."

Another servant stretched out his hand to guide them. Shado had seen the actions of others before, so he went directly to the town hall.

And then, Sammy and Dewane quickly followed.

Shado asked the servant who led the way, "Do you know what we are going to do?"

The servant immediately turned sideways and bowed, and then replied, "Sir, you need to change into the ceremonial dress over there, and there are some etiquette instructions."

"Is that so!" Shado turned around and asked Sammy, "Your family is in town, have you ever seen such an award ceremony?"

"No, not once!" Sammy's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, "I wonder if my father will come to watch the ceremony. If he sees me, he will definitely be surprised!"

Dean said regretfully, "My family is now at my aunt's house in town. I would have gone there first if I had known!"

"Oh, I forgot too!"
