Arcane Lord

On the first day after entering the Mage Tower, Sha Duo asked the tower spirit about many rules of the Mage Tower. One of them was that loud noises were not allowed in the library because the transcription room was not soundproof.

What people who read and copy books there need most is a quiet environment, and now——

As expected, several apprentices had already rushed out of the transcription room with angry faces. It was true that mages were good at concentration, but that didn't mean they liked noise pollution.

Xia Duo saw one of them running towards the administrator, while the others gathered around him, seemingly ready to take action.

But just when Xia Duo was about to see if there would be a fight, two white lights flashed, the furious man disappeared, and another white light appeared in another group of people.

"What's wrong?"

"Knowles triggered the ban!"

"Knowles is ready to release [Shock Shock]!"

"Poor Knowles, I think he'll be bankrupt before the end of the month!"

"Ha ha!"

…

After a while of whispering, the apprentices dispersed and returned to the transcription room.

The library was quite quiet without the angry brother. Xia Duo clearly heard the complaints not far away, and he also knew what the punishment would be for the two formal apprentices who disappeared.

Fine!

This result made Xia Duo shocked and angry. This rule of using gold coins to compensate for punishment is really a reality. If Xia Duo was a rich man, of course he would be happy, but he was not.

Fortunately, most mages are rational and orderly, and as long as there is no conflict of interest, they will not affect Xia Duo.

But this feeling of placing one's own safety on other people's rationality is really unpleasant. Furthermore, God knows if there will be some unwarranted disaster that hits Xia Duo, such as being affected by some out-of-control experiment.

In the final analysis, the order here is different from the original earth, and Sha Duo himself is not strong enough.

…

After hurriedly leaving the library floor, Shado did not return to the dormitory, but came to the public floor. He was going to redeem a magic scroll. When registering, Master Leonard mentioned that he would be given 10 exchanges of 0-ring magic scrolls. permissions.

Before, Xia Duo didn't redeem it because he didn't understand magic, but now, he just asked Colin in the afternoon that as long as he learned the skill of [Reading Magic], even if the spell recognition is not enough, he can still learn it through scrolls or unencrypted spells. Spell book for self-study.

As for how to practice, Dean had just demonstrated it to him.

The thought of getting the magic scroll right away and starting self-study made Sha Duo feel extremely hot and he finally began to master the power.

Although he knew in his heart that studying from the scrolls was always just a poor imitation. He might not be able to understand why the structure was like that, and what the principles and rules were between different structures.

The difference between having a scroll and not having a scroll is huge. If Dean had a [Repair Technique] learning scroll, he might have become an official apprentice long ago.

However, the learning scroll must first become an official apprentice before it can be redeemed. This kind of Catch-22 rule almost forces all apprentices to be geniuses.

Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to become an official apprentice, you may not know how far you can go in the future.

Usually after three years, most people give up.

It is definitely a big advantage for Xia Duo to be able to obtain the learning scroll when he first learns.

…

Public floor, Material Request Office No. 6.

By asking Ta Ling, Xia Duo determined that this material application office was right next to the elevator on the public floor. It was just not the elevator that Xia Duo usually used, and he had never noticed it before.

When I came here for the first time, I was still a little nervous, because this application area is specially used for receiving or purchasing magic equipment, scrolls, potions and other finished products.

Inside was a formal mage and a formal apprentice. When Sha Duo came in, the two were counting supplies. When Sha Duo came in, the apprentice immediately asked:

"Apprentice Xia Duo? You haven't come here often before. Is it a scroll or a potion? The scroll is 10 gold coins and the potion is 20 gold coins. How much is it?"

Xia Duo didn't quite understand what he meant, so he quickly said his purpose, "I want to redeem a learning scroll."

"Huh--"

The official mage let out a sound of surprise and turned around, "Are you the apprentice brought back by Master Leonard?"

"it's me."

Xia Duo was a little scared. He didn't want any relationship with an official mage. For him now, what he wanted most was to be a little transparent and not let anyone pay attention to him.

Especially for the official mage, whether it is good or bad, a newcomer like him who has just entered the field of magic cannot afford it.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually. I heard that Master Leonard was sent by the lord to perform a mission. Unexpectedly, he brought back an apprentice and gave him the right to exchange it. I'm a little curious."

The kinder the mage's attitude became, the more frightened Sha Duo became, but he had to bite the bullet and said, "I am just an ordinary person. Master Leonard just brought me back along the way."

What Xia Duo said was not a lie. He was indeed brought back along the way, but there was no need to talk about the deal between Mu Yan and Leonard.

Seeing Xia Duo's reserved look, the mage did not go into details, but mentioned Xia Duo's purpose of coming, "Tell me, what scroll are you going to exchange for?"

"A [Light Technique] learning scroll." Sha Duo quickly replied.

This was something he had already thought about before coming here. Although he really wanted to learn an offensive spell, he was still a beginner after all, and he was still learning on his own, so he had to take the risks into consideration.

The magic laboratory is not omnipotent. Xia Duo is still not sure what will happen if the offensive spells are out of control.

It would be better to start with [Light Technique]. He asked Dean that [Light Technique] is the easiest magic for apprentices to master.

After hearing Xia Duo's request, the official mage moved his lips, as if communicating with the tower spirit. However, he quickly determined Xia Duo's authority, turned around, took out a scroll from the shelf behind him, and handed it to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo quickly took the learning scroll, and at the same time, a familiar hollow mechanical voice sounded in his ears, "Apprentice Xia Duo, exchange for a [Light Technique] learning scroll, and the exchange authority is -1."

Looking at the other two people in the room, the apprentice had already begun to count the supplies, while the mage looked at Xia Duo with a kind face.

"Did you hear the tower spirit prompt?"

"Um."

"The transaction is completed. I'll give you a piece of advice, don't be too obsessed with the effects of spells. The principles and rules contained in them are the real knowledge, and they are what we mages pursue."

Seemingly sensing Xia Duo's desire for power, the mage even gave Xia Duo a few words.

"Yes, I will remember it, thank you, Master Mage."

"You don't need to call me Master Mage. In the face of the truth, we are all apprentices. I am Jose. If you are interested in taking Elvish language, you can take my class."

"yes."

"Get out."

Xia Duoru was granted amnesty and quickly left the material application office. Although the Jose mage had a good impression on him, as long as he thought that the other person was an official mage who could easily kill him if he wanted to, Xia Duo couldn't get angry. any closeness.

I am still too weak, not only weak in strength, but also weak in knowledge. If there is one thing that is strong, I can rely on it, instead of being such a dispensable apprentice now.

However, Xia Duo still remembered Master Jose's advice. This was actually his original intention, but it was also necessary to gain the power to protect himself in the early stage. Xia Duo had his own plan and would not be easily shaken.
