Arcane Lord

However, even if he focused on practice, Xia Duo would still not miss classes every day. He had lunch in the restaurant on the first floor at noon. The wine for lunch was apple cider, and the ingredients came from the Arcane Garden.

Because he has been studying under the apple tree, Xia Duo also loves this kind of cider. It is said that most of the cider recipes in the mage tower come from the elves. The taste is light, sweet, and endlessly memorable.

However, if you think about it, you will know that what is supplied to apprentices every day must not be genuine elf fruit wine. Anyway, Xia Duo can't taste much wine, it is just juice mixed with water, and it tastes pretty good.

In this way, it is only served for a limited time during lunch every day, and people often don't get a share because they come late.

But Xia Duo has never been late once. He only arrives early and never late. This may be related to his concept before time travel. Chinese people like to be bitter before sweet, tight before loose.

There is a certain amount of time every day, and the time needed to rest varies from person to person, but it is almost certain for individuals. Reasonable allocation of time is a science.

But Xia Duo has seen many apprentices who have no concept of time. They always think that as long as they go to bed late and wake up early, they will be able to learn more. In fact, doing so is a waste of time.

Of course Xia Duo would not remind them. Firstly, everyone has inherent ideas and cannot be persuaded by persuasion. The most important thing is that Xia Duo is not related to them and is even a competitor to some extent. How could he remind them? them.

…

In the afternoon, it was still the second half of Colin's "Level 0 Spell Overview" course - [Reading Magic] and Spell Analysis.

Because Dean had already demonstrated it to him, this time Shado didn't have to ask how to practice casting spells. Instead, he asked Donald one of the several questions they left yesterday.

Before class, Donald did not inform Shado that a certain problem had been solved, so Shado chose a question that he urgently needed to know and asked Colin after class.

5 gold coins are already beckoning.

After Colin left and the apprentices were disbanded, Donald and others stayed, and Shado didn't leave either.

"Xia Duo, 5 gold coins!"

Donald placed 5 gold coins on the cover of Xia Duo's notes, "There are three questions from yesterday that don't need to be asked, but I still have a few questions left today."

"no problem."

Donald discussed it with his four friends, and then said: "It's about the structure of the spell. Please note it down. During the analysis process, I found..."

Four questions were reported in a row, and Xia Duo also wrote them down. In fact, he could answer Donald for some questions now, and he did so.

"Donald, I know an equivalent change in connection configuration. Do you need it? Or 5 gold coins."

Donald hesitated because the question was not raised by him, but by his friend. Before he could answer, an apprentice named Marcy immediately agreed, "I'll give you 5 gold coins."

"right here?"

Xia Duo pointed around. At this time, they were in a corner of the hall on the first floor, but it was already dinner time. In addition to Donald and others, other apprentices were already coming over.

However, these people who came to eat did not pay too much attention to them. The subtext of Xia Duo was actually asking if he should say it in front of Donald and others. This is different from asking questions after class. Anyway, everyone in class can listen, and it will come out. Qian only allowed Xia Duo to ask the questions he wanted to ask.

But if it is Xia Duo who answers, he naturally hopes that fewer people will listen, which means he can answer multiple times and make more money.

Marcy was a little hesitant. After all, he was just a child who had just grown up. Five gold coins was not a small amount that was dispensable. If possible, he would certainly not want to share it with others. After all, others were not entirely of the same mind as him. .

If everyone had no selfish motives, the Mage Tower would not be in the situation it is today.

"Just say it here." After all, Marcy did not choose to listen alone.

Xia Duo is not annoyed. He does not believe that these people will keep sharing information. As long as someone's progress is slightly faster or slower, it will immediately cause dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with others. Sooner or later, the small circle will split.

Regarding the issue of equivalent changes in connection concepts, Shado only heard Dean mention it in the spell practice room. If he demonstrated it himself, because he did not have the authority to cast spells on the first floor of the mage tower, Shado could only describe it through brushstrokes on parchment.

The process was quite complicated, but Maxi did not refuse to pay the reward. After receiving the gold coins, Xia Duo left quickly. He felt that the five people were about to split up.

After grabbing dinner, Shado did not go to Dean, but went to the library floor to rent a spell research room.

In the morning, he had recorded all the details from the [Light Technique] learning scroll. Although he did not fully understand it, it did not prevent him from practicing at all.

He has been impatient since he finished recording in the morning.

…

Spell Lab.

Not caring about mourning the five gold coins that he had just received and left so quickly, Xia Duo had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the practice of [Lighting Technique].

The structure of this spell is quite simple. According to Xia Duo's understanding, it can be roughly divided into two parts: drawing positive energy and shaping it into a spherical shape. Shaping is the easiest, because energy has no shape and no fixed trend of change. Feel free to change it.

It's just a specific shape created for a specific effect.

For example, in order to provide the widest range, longest duration, and most stable light source for [Lighting Technique], using a spherical shape is a good choice. Shaping it into a lamp tube is also possible.

However, the positive energy will not be concentrated enough and will appear bleaker.

In the initial stage of learning, Xia Duo will not think about how to improve or change the spell structure, but will cast the spell completely according to the operation of the learning scroll.

Focus, enter the magic vision, the calm magic net is waiting for him, the first time he tried because he was not skilled, it took too long to draw the positive energy, the distorted part of the magic net structure was smoothed out, and the positive energy was also drawn. It failed.

At the moment of failure, Xia Duo felt an arm's length in front of him. The magic net fluctuated suddenly, but then calmed down. Xia Duo was shocked. If this happened outside the laboratory, maybe it would happen. affects itself.

I don’t know what the consequences will be if [Light Technique] fails!

Anyway, no matter what the consequences were, Xia Duo was unwilling to try it himself.

…

The first attempt ended in failure. Xia Duo was not discouraged. He never thought that he would succeed in the first practice, but he just had a contemptuous thought in his heart.

Next, Shado decomposed the spell structure of [Light Technique] until he could not decompose it, and it existed in a form similar to [Magic Trick].

Each discrete structure can trigger the magic network, but the effect shown is extremely weak, mostly existing in the form of shimmering light.

In this way, Xia Duo practiced repeatedly mechanically until he felt somewhat proficient and was about to try it in a complete form, but——

Time is running out!
