Arcane Lord

Soon the teaching on how to use the scroll came to an end, and Sha Duo stayed to continue using this free spell practice room. He had too many spells that he wanted to contact, but he had to make a choice after realizing that the list of apprentices had been established.

Once you leave the mage tower, there is no such a good environment to practice.

Considering the various situations that he might encounter in the future, Xia Duo chose [Mage's Hand] and [Phantom Sound Technique]. Of course, [Messaging Technique] also needed more practice before that.

He had only successfully released it once the day before yesterday, and he was not very proficient yet, but compared to [Mage's Hand] and [Phantom Sound Technique], it didn't take much time.

Realizing that time was tight, Xia Duo did not return to the dormitory for dinner to study spell theory or new spells. Instead, he rented a spell practice room.

Krypton gold practice.

However, before the production increase plan was completed the next morning, a notice came from Talling - all formal apprentices packed up their combat items and gathered in the lobby on the first floor.

After rubbing his sore arms and thighs, Xia Duo could only follow the crowd to the elevator.

"Shado! Shado!"

Dean appeared out of nowhere, with that fiery red hair that made Xia Duo dizzy. After pulling away a little, Xia Duo asked:

"What's up?"

"I heard something about the orc tide. It's good news. Do you want to know?"

"explain!"

Dean blinked mysteriously, came closer again, and whispered: "I heard that a big shot came this time, so we don't have to participate in a frontal battle at all. We only need to search for scattered orcs in the forest."

"real?"

Sha Duo was very doubtful about the accuracy of this news. Dean had only become an official apprentice in the past few days. How could he know this kind of news?

"Where did you hear this news?" Xia Duo asked again.

"From Mr. Edrich!"

"Edrich?"

"yes!"

Sha Duo was in a daze, thinking of Edrich, who rented the copy room of the library all year round and was called a mage apprentice but was actually a businessman's apprentice, but Sha Duo had always regarded him as an apprentice with some weird hobbies.

Unexpectedly, such news came out.

But even so, it was not enough to convince Xia Duo, "There are big shots, and we won't participate in frontal battles, so what?"

"So, we can join forces and clean out the orcs together!"

Dean's words made Xia Duo want to laugh a little. Based on a piece of information that he didn't know was true or false, he started to discuss the subsequent plan, but it didn't hurt to agree first.

"Okay, but there's another question. How do you convince the rest of the team to listen to your decision?"

"..."

Dean suddenly looked at Xia Duo with a very strange look. Xia Duo was a little confused, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Of course it's wrong. We are mages! Except for specific battles, they should listen to us on other issues!"

Seeing the confident look on Dean's face, Sha Duo understood where he had gone wrong. The instructor's strong performance in the two days of tactics class had made the apprentices other than him join the army just to act as human magic releasers.

In fact, it should be looked at from the other side. The status of the mage and even the apprentice was so high that the instructor was worried that the apprentice would give the wrong order and deliberately acted stronger to gain more say.

So, what the instructor said about being left behind and no one to save him must be false. He just didn't want the apprentices to be held back too much.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo's mood instantly improved.

"Dean, who else have you contacted?"

"That -" Dean was hesitant in his words, and Xia Duo understood at a glance that he was the only one who had been emotionally connected to him, and it was even possible that others had rejected him.

Having just become a formal apprentice does not have much status. Even Shado has only spoken to a limited number of formal apprentices so far. The only ones who have a close relationship are Sami and Devine, who are both co-workers of the Arcane Garden.

Thinking about it, it’s really a bit bad.

"I agree to the alliance, but it depends on the specific situation." Xia Duo finally agreed.

"Very good!"

Dean immediately beamed with joy, "Xia Duo, let's exchange [Secret Mark]."

As soon as the words came out, Sha Duo felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't learned [Secret Mark] yet, and Dean realized it when he saw Sha Duo's face, "I almost forgot that you just joined the Mage Tower, hehe, but it doesn't matter, anyway. I do not know either."

"..."

If possible, Xia Duo really wanted to punch him.

Then Xia Duo also found out why Dean said this. It turned out that he had been rejected too much and it was a bit over his head.

When formal apprentices become familiar with each other, or when they work together on tasks, they usually exchange [Secret Marks], and then they can contact each other through [Messaging] within a certain distance.

Dean had just learned [Repair Technique] and became an official apprentice. He only knew two or three spells, but [Messaging Technique] and [Secret Mark] were not among them.

This makes other formal apprentices willing to join forces with him!

This also made Xia Duo scream in his heart that he was cheating, but he did not regret it. After all, he had already agreed, and he himself was "lame in one leg."

"You go back and pack your things first, I'm going to buy something."

"Okay, let's get in touch when we get to the military camp. I'll ask people to see who is willing to join us."

When he said "we", Dean deliberately emphasized his tone. Sha Duo understood what he meant, nodded, and then separated from him. After going back to the dormitory to withdraw money, he came to the elevator again.

…

Public layer.

When you come out of the elevator, you will find Material Request Office No. 6 next to it.

When Xia Duo arrived, there were already many people here. Perhaps like Xia Duo, their plans were disrupted by this sudden gathering.

This time the official mage at the application office is not the mage Jose that Xia Duo knew before, but a guy with a gloomy face. At this moment, he is instructing ordinary apprentices to get goods from the shelves.

"The [Fireball Technique] scroll is two levels up. You idiot, where are you looking for it?"

The apprentice rummaged around for a long time before finding the rolled [Fireball Technique] scroll, and said to the official apprentice who came to buy it, "4, 400 gold coins."

The buyer readily handed over two pieces of parchment-like paper. The sales apprentice looked at the gloomy mage with some hesitation while holding the two pieces of paper, "Mr. Mage, this -"

"Idiot, bring it here."

After saying that, he grabbed the two pieces of paper, checked them, and said, "Give him the stuff!"

The sales apprentice was relieved and handed the [Fireball Technique] scroll to the buyer, and then the buyer left under the envious eyes of everyone.

"Also a fool!"

The scolding of the sullen-faced mage was so harsh that Xia Duo, who was in the back row, heard it clearly, but no one present could say anything wrong about an official mage.
