Arcane Lord

In the next few days, Xia Duo stayed in his residence and concentrated on studying [Magic Alarm], [Demonized Weapon], and [Mage Armor].

Among them, [Mage Armor] only needs to complete some elements and then practice more. As for the scroll production of this spell, Sha Duo has put it on hold for the time being.

After all, the scrolls of [Magic Alarm] and [Demonized Weapon] are on the designated acquisition list of the Mage Tower, and they are also a shortcut for Xia Duo to complete the promotion task target.

These three spells are not complicated. If there is a learning scroll, it probably doesn't take a day to learn them, and then it's time to practice.

This was almost the first time for Xia Duo to learn magic through a spell book. During his previous apprenticeship, he exchanged a large number of learning scrolls, and then studied the principles of spells intensively. Most of the 0-level spells could be researched by himself.

But to study through the books of the Mage Tower requires a transformation process, converting the other party's thoughts into your own thoughts before you can start research.

At first, Shado had a hard time reading the book "Dathriel's Ultimate Armor", but as he read more and more content and read more and more books, his thoughts about the author also changed. More understanding.

By the time Niya took class for the second time, Shado had already learned these three spells, and had already successfully cast them in the spell laboratory.

In the past three days, Xia Duo also produced multiple scrolls of [Steam Ray], but they have not been sold yet.

…

Niya's residence, reception room.

This time, Ganal contacted Sha Duo in advance and made an appointment for the two of them to come together, but today the mentor Niya seemed a little anxious.

He held several pieces of parchment in his hand and kept flipping them open. The more he looked at them, the darker his brows became. Even Chateau and Ganal had been in for a long time, but they hadn't started today's class yet.

Chateau and Ganal looked at each other, but neither took the initiative to remind them, but continued to read the books or notes they brought.

Until Xia Duo heard a "pop" sound and looked up, just in time to see Niya slapping the parchment onto the small table on the left.

Her eyes swept from Xia Duo to Ganal, and then from Ganal to Xia Duo. She saw that Xia Duo's scalp was numb, and then she said:

"We won't talk about arcane geometry today. The rules of the arcane competition have been released. From now until the arcane competition in twenty days, we will come here to train every morning."

Then, before Chateau and Ganal could react, he warned firmly, "If the final result does not satisfy me, you will have to weigh the consequences yourself!"

If it were an old man with a white beard or a strong man with a majestic face who said this, Xia Duo wouldn't feel so inconsistent.

But Niya was young and beautiful, and it was easy for people to overlook her identity as a level 7 mage. She tried so hard to warn Xia Duo and the two of them with a straight face, which instantly made Xia Duo feel cute.

Ganal was also stunned and at a loss. He didn't know whether he was shocked by the news or Niya.

Xia Duo responded quickly and immediately agreed, "Don't worry, Teacher Niya, we will definitely train well."

"Yes, yes, Teacher Niya, we will definitely train well." Ganal also responded quickly.

Niya nodded with satisfaction and began to introduce the rules of this arcane competition, "Since all new mages are participating, this competition will limit the specific range of spells used and will be conducted in the form of an arcane duel."

Generally speaking, there are no spell restrictions in arcane competitions, and it all depends on the performance of the contestants. The arcane duel, as the name suggests, is a spell duel between two spellcasters.

From the form point of view, it can be roughly divided into two types -

One is a close-range spell duel, which does not produce specific magic effects. Instead, it competes with each other and counters each other's spells. It is very competitive, but the enjoyment is average, or even non-existent. Just two people standing face to face for a while. , and then it's over.

The other is a long-distance spell duel, which involves resisting, erasing, and transferring the magic released by each other. Because it will produce specific magic effects, it is highly enjoyable to watch. In order to enhance the competitiveness, it is generally required that both parties Cannot be moved.

(The long distance here is not the long distance of the spell range, but refers to the distance beyond the distance that can prevent the opponent from releasing magic)

According to Niya, the arcane competition in the territory this time is a "long-distance spell showdown with limited spells." After all, if you want to invite famous mages, or mid-level and high-level mages to participate, the Savile Territory is not that strong yet. Influence.

If Niya hadn't trained and warned her so seriously, Xia Duo would have thought that this arcane competition was just a fight between rookies.

Of course, it's also possible that Niya is just pretending to put pressure on her, but in fact it's just novices pecking each other.

However, Xia Duo will not relax and does not dare to relax. After all, Niya has even taken out the learning scroll. If the result is not ideal, who can withstand an angry female mage?

"Considering that the contestants are all new mages within a year, there is no limit to 0-level spells, but there are only two 1-level spells to choose from - [Mage Armor] and [Magic Missile]."

With that said, Niya controlled the invisible hand and handed the two learning scrolls to Shado and Ganal respectively.

Although Xia Duo had already learned [Mage Armor], he still wanted to see the difference between the [Mage Armor] he had researched and completed and the one on the learning scroll.

Ganal also received the two learning scrolls, his face was full of joy, he held the two scrolls in his hands and rubbed them from time to time, "Thank you, instructor, I will definitely work hard."

"Just use it here. If you have any questions, ask anytime." After saying that, Niya became motionless and her eyes were a little dull.

"Shado, how about we watch it together?" Ganal suggested. A scroll was unfolded, allowing two people to observe all the details at a close distance at the same time.

Ganal thought that if the two of them shared a scroll, they would have double the time, and if everything went well, they would be able to save a scroll.

Sha Duo thought for a while and agreed. The two moved the chairs together, unfolded the scroll and placed it between them. At this time, neither Ganal nor Sha Duo chose to copy it immediately.

It was about on-site observation, understanding, and memory. Apart from the practice process, the two began to compete from here on out.

After a while, Ganal suddenly said: "I learned it!"

"..."

Now the two of them are looking at the learning scroll of [Mage Armor]. Although this spell is not difficult, it is not so fast!

Sha Duo knew that this guy must have learned [Mage Armor] in advance like him. Ganal became an official mage half a year earlier than him. It was really hard to predict how many first-level spells he would master.

He looked at Ganal speechlessly, speechless, and Ganal seemed to realize that his performance was too exaggerated. He subconsciously glanced in the direction of Niya, and when he saw that there was still no movement from the instructor, he suddenly relaxed. Take a breath.

"Xia Duo, you can use this scroll first. I will study it myself first. When you are ready, we will look at [Magic Missile] together."

"..." Xia Duo rolled his eyes, "No, I have already learned this spell before. Now I just want to see the difference between the records on the learning scroll and what is in the book."

Now it was Ganal's turn to be embarrassed. He knew that Shado had not been an official mage for a long time, but he did not expect that Shado had already learned this spell.

Ganal chuckled twice and unfolded the [Magic Missile] learning scroll.
