Arcane Lord

Mission progress: 20/1000, we still need to keep working hard!

Now Xia Duo is looking forward to two things. One is that the lord will appear as soon as possible and give him promotion authority; the other is that the mission department will refresh a mission with super high reward and low difficulty, and he just happens to take it!

If these two things could come together, he would immediately be able to get rid of most trivial matters and study magic with peace of mind.

…

Early the next morning, Xia Duo got up early as usual. Before his authority was upgraded, he should continue to work in the Arcane Garden.

And this also made Edrich and the others very curious, "Xia Duo, didn't you go to upgrade your permissions yesterday? Why are you here again today? Didn't you succeed?"

Xia Duo was also very embarrassed about this. He had already said goodbye to them, but he didn't expect to come back here again, so he could only forcefully suppress a smile and pretend to be relaxed:

"There are still a few territory tasks to be completed. Once the task indicators are completed, the permissions can be upgraded!"

"Territory mission?" Everyone was shocked. They actually fell short of the mission target!

Except for Edrich who took over a few simple territory tasks here and there, the others didn't take over a single territory task.

There is still a certain threshold for accepting territory tasks. Most tasks require apprentices to master spells and knowledge. Although these requirements may not be needed at all, if you do not meet the requirements, you will not be able to accept territory tasks.

Not to mention that Dean had just become a full-time employee last year, Sami and Devine had only mastered [Messaging Technique] and [Toxin Detection], so they never started doing territorial tasks.

Later, I met the task requirements and joined a study group, so I had no time to go out to do tasks.

Now that they heard that Xia Duo was stuck on territory tasks, they naturally felt a sense of urgency. They didn't have any expectations of becoming an official mage before, but now that they have, they have to consider territory tasks.

Although Edrich has taken over several tasks, he is still far from being promoted!

"Oh - what should I do?" Edrich pulled his hair, a little crazy.

Sammy also frowned, "I heard that classes will start in a few days, and I'm planning to sign up for "The Art of Spellcasting"! If this is the case, when will the task target be completed?"

"Why should I sign up for "The Art of Spellcasting"! Didn't Shado teach us about spellcasting techniques? I'm not going to sign up for any courses, I'll just concentrate on completing the mission in the general territory!" Dean immediately retorted.

Cough - cough -

Xia Duo almost choked himself. In terms of the principles of magic at the apprentice level and the nature of magic nets, Xia Duo was confident that he could surpass most of the mages in the Mage Tower.

However, in terms of spell-casting skills, Xia Duo still feels a little guilty. He can only say that he is average and average. After all, he has been exposed to magic for less than a year and has even less time to practice. How can he compare with those mages who are tired all the time? A skill honed over the months.

As for being able to teach "The Art of Spellcasting", the other party must be quite proud of his spellcasting skills. There must be something that Xia Duo can learn from it. If he wasn't busy solving territory tasks, he would want to listen to it himself. .

For someone like Dean who believed in him almost blindly, Sha Duo was both a little happy and a little worried. The result of turning from pink to black is not just talk. In the magical world, anything is possible.

At that moment, he had to cool down Dean a little, "Dean, I'm not good at spell casting skills. You still have to take the classes you should take."

"yes!"

Hearing such an unthinking answer, Xia Duo knew that he might have said it in vain.

…

After chatting for a while, Xia Duo came to the orchard alone. It was still the familiar apple tree. Xia Duo took out the "Elementary Arcane Geometry" that Master De Park lent him when he was in the assessment room.

This is a magic book, a book created through magic. Of course, whether specific magic is recorded in it, Xia Duo can guess something about it even though he hasn't read it.

Generally speaking, books that talk about spellcasting techniques or magic theory will include one or two simple apprentice spells as examples, but it is extremely inefficient to learn new spells through this method.

It also tests the learner’s experience and wisdom.

Opening the first page of the magic book, there is actually a title page inside, which says——

"The door to arcana opens from now on. - Iolum"

Huh--

Shado let out a soft cry, moved the magic book closer, and once again confirmed that the name on it was indeed Iolum. Shado was shocked, and did not expect that the book was actually written by that person.

Considering that the first lord of the Saville Territory was Iolum's student, it is not surprising that there are Iolum's writings in the mage tower, but the question is, how could the Master Depak lend him this book so easily.

It stands to reason that the writings of an outstanding person who can teach great arcana masters should not be lent out easily!

Or are they high imitation works like those written by "Jin Yongquan" and "Gu Longxin"?

With all kinds of doubts, Xia Duo continued to turn to the second page, which was similar to a catalog and a summary. It introduced the origin and development of Olympian geometry, as well as its benefits to magic research.

It was specifically mentioned that arcane geometry is a tool for studying magic, not the essence of magic, and then there were some words of encouragement and warning.

At the end, the real author appears - Grand Arcanist Xavier. This is a auxiliary book specially written based on the teachings he received from Iolum, especially suitable for those who are interested in pursuing the ultimate in arcane magic.

Opening it again, there is the main text of "Elementary Arcane Geometry". To Xia Duo's expectation, the content described in it is not so profound, but rather very simple.

"This is right!"

Xia Duo was not unhappy because the content was very simple. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt uneasy when there were too many pies, or investments, falling from the sky.

If it was given to him by the lord, then he would suffer the consequences, but Master Depak has no relationship with him. If it really gives him great benefits, then Xia Duo has to ask, what do you want from me? What!

Soul or freedom, or body? Thinking about it, it doesn’t even taste good. When did you not even dare to eat the good things in your mouth?

After complaining a few words, Xia Duo began to read the book seriously.

…

The biggest difference between a magic book and an ordinary book is that it can be read through magical vision. While Sha Duo uses his eyes to read the words on the page, he also enters a state of spellcasting concentration and "watches" the spell structure emerging on the page.

The intuitive nature of magic, compared with the annotated text, and the content is quite simple, Sha Duo read the first page of the text almost effortlessly.

The rest of the time passed in Sha Duo's focused reading.

It wasn't until Edrich called him to do physical training together that Shado took his attention away from the magic book, and only then did he notice that he hadn't finished reading the book yet.

The memory just now told Xia Duo that he had clearly turned through dozens of pages but had not finished it yet, but this was obviously inconsistent with the thin thickness of the magic book.

I wanted to continue researching, but I still couldn't give up on physical training. Xia Duo didn't expect this body to be very strong, but he had to maintain a certain intensity of training, otherwise it would be a very bad thing to lose his chain at the critical moment.

After sighing again that it was indeed a magic book, Xia Duo put the book away, and then trained with Edrich and the others. No matter what he started, he must stick to it!
