Arcane Lord

The spell laboratory is located on the library floor of the mage tower. It is similar to the transcription room. It is all distributed around the more than twenty book areas. If it were in a normal space, then Xia Duo would think that the spell laboratory and the transcription room are next to each other. The tower is set up, while the library area is located in the center. but--

The space inside the mage tower is not a normal space. From the outside, the top of the mage tower is more than ten meters thick, but just one book section is more than 20 meters deep. There are more than 20 sections, not to mention a circle of transcription rooms and spell rooms on the outside. laboratory.

It is also because of this that Xia Duo firmly believes that in the future he will be able to obtain a piece of space equipment and take all his belongings with him.

…

After paying enough gold coins to the administrator, Shado followed Dean to find the spell laboratory Dean rented next to an elevator. They could stay here for the next 2 hours.

If the time is exceeded, you will either have to pay again or be expelled from the tower spirit.

Besides the first time, you can also choose to conduct experiments outside the mage tower, but you have to bear the risk of spell failure or loss of control. During the practice stage, it is best to find a spell laboratory.

The interior of this laboratory is similar to the rooms in many mage towers that Sha Duo has seen. There is no excessive decoration. There is only a simple human-shaped target standing in the corner and no other equipment.

It seems not worthy of the price of 5 gold coins per hour.

Dean was not surprised at all. This was not the first time he rented a spell laboratory. "Xia Duo, I will briefly show you how to cast spells, and then I will practice it myself."

"good."

Xia Duo is already very satisfied with having someone demonstrate in person. According to the normal course, he may soon be taught how to cast spells, but there is still a difference between a one-to-many demonstration and a one-to-one demonstration.

And Xia Duo is almost certain that the instructor will never demonstrate more than once, and more than one demonstration will definitely cost extra money.

…

"Watch it!" Dean stood next to the human-shaped target and specifically reminded him. Then he started to demonstrate, explaining at the same time——

"Do you see the intricate structure of the magic network around me?"

"Yeah." In the state of concentration, Xia Duo can perceive part of the structure of the magic network with some magical perception. It is strands and threads, very calm, as clear as seeing with the eyes, but it will not block the eyes. sight.

"Look here!" Dean stretched out his finger and pointed a spot in the void in front of him, and then a small white ball of light appeared there.

It's [Light Technique]!

Xia Duo reacted immediately. Because of that spell-casting payment incident, he was particularly impressed by the [Light Spell], which cost him 5 gold coins!

At this time, he noticed that when Dean cast this spell, the originally very smooth structure of the magic network around him began to move. Some of the structures made of strands were very familiar to Sha Duo.

Isn’t it the spell structure that Colin talked about in class?

Some of the structures looked familiar to Xia Duo, but some were completely blinding. This shows that when Colin taught [Reading Magic] and spell identification, the spell structures provided did not include these.

Xia Duo didn't know all the details of [Lighting Technique] at all.

"Xia Duo, did you see it?"

"Saw it!"

"When we are in a focused state and manipulate the strands that make up the magic network to form a specific structure, we can produce specific magic effects. This process is spell casting."

Xia Duo nodded. This is an intuitive reflection of the three elements of spell casting. Knowledge, magic network, and concentration are all indispensable.

"Okay, now I have to practice by myself. Do you want to go back or -"

Dean doesn't think that Sha Duo has mastered magic at this moment. Sha Duo only started to learn writing when he joined the Mage Tower. He knew that, how could he come into contact with magic!

"Let me practice too. I'll practice [magic tricks]."

Hearing Sha Duo say [Magic Trick], Dean couldn't help but laugh a little, but he didn't say anything more. He fixed the light ball created by [Light Technique] in place, turned his head, faced the human-shaped target and started own practice.

Sha Duo naturally didn't know what Dean was thinking, but seeing that he had no objection, he found a place farthest away from Dean and started practicing. He has discovered that 5 gold coins for 1 hour in the Spell Laboratory is quite worth it.

Outside the laboratory, although there is a ban on the Mage Tower and you cannot cast spells at will, you can still try to contact the magic network. Outside, the Weave is always active, like a river that never stops.

Although it looks calm, it is just an illusion, and there is actually an undercurrent surging inside.

Only in this laboratory did Sha Duo see the magic network that remained almost still. It was truly calm, but this calm did not seem to be a solidified state under strong pressure, but was similar to stillness that eliminated all interference.

Very friendly to newbies!

Since coming into contact with the magic net, Xia Duo has only used [Magic Tricks] twice. The first time was naturally to make his hair shine, and the second time was after experiencing Mu Yan's ancestor blessing ceremony and accidentally discovered him. The magic power becomes stronger.

After entering the Mage Tower, I never had the chance to use it again. Today I finally have the opportunity to do it again.

To this day, Shado will no longer regard people who can perform [Magic Tricks] in Savile Town as mages, because the nature of [Magic Tricks] only triggers very few magic network structures.

The effect produced is also extremely weak.

From the perspective of spell identification, [Magic Trick] does not even contain any spell structure. Of course, this also gives it flexibility and changeable characteristics, and almost any imaginable effect can be achieved.

In the background of the game before Shado's time travel, there was a description - any archmage is a master of [magic tricks], and this magic that was despised by apprentices has transformed into something magical in their hands.

This is the only thing Xia Duo can practice now. He doesn't expect to reach the level of a great mage, but at least he needs to be familiar with it.

The selfless practice made time pass quickly. Xia Duo soon found that he could no longer enter the state of concentration in casting spells. Whenever he wanted to contact the magic net again, it felt like there was an awl drilling into his head, which made him extremely annoyed!

Because he is preparing to try a new trick of [Magic Trick]!

But Xia Duo still remembered Mu Yan's warning after all - any spell caster needs to be cautious when dealing with magic.

The irritation subsided instantly. Sha Duo raised his head and glanced at Dean. Dean was sitting on the ground thinking hard, holding his hair in one hand and his notes in the other.

"Dean—"

no response.

Xia Duo was not going to disturb him anymore and quietly walked out of the door. However, he didn't expect to be bumped into by a person as soon as he came out, and this person was yelling and cursing as if his eyes were spitting fire——

"Damn Talling! You ****, can't you give me just one more second?! Do you know how important my research is?!"

When he saw Xia Duo, this man even pushed Xia Duo and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Then he continued to yell and curse.

Xia Duo rubbed his ears and did not leave immediately, preparing to see what would happen to this dear friend.
