He went back to his dormitory first, took a wooden wine glass and filled half a cup of warm water (about 500 ml) in the whirlpool in the bathroom. After that, Xia Duo took the wine glass in one hand and the bread in the other, and looked for Dean's dormitory while eating.
.
02163 is Dean's dormitory number, while Xia Duo's is 02404. The distance is not far.
On the other hand, the densely packed doors on both sides of the circular corridor were a bit strange, so Xia Duo subconsciously speeded up his pace.
"02163, this is it."
The door was closed. Xia Duo knocked on the door first, but no one answered. Xia Duo did not rush in directly, but ate and waited outside the door.
At this time, many apprentices had returned to the dormitory. When passing by Xia Duo, only a few looked at it with doubts, but they did not stop to ask, and most of them did not even look at it, as if
It's like Chateau doesn't exist.
What a group of people who are extremely sensible and self-disciplined!
Xia Duo sighed in his heart, if the school before his time travel had such an atmosphere, it would be simply terrible.
Although Xia Duo doesn’t believe that so many people can go against their nature of pleasure, the facts are here——
There is no intrigue, no framing of each other, no mutual friendship, and interpersonal relationships are extremely indifferent.
Are the official mages above also like this?
This is indeed the case for several official mages that Xia Duo has dealt with, such as Master Leonard, the two mages at the registration office, and the material application office. But he has also seen the collective carnival scene of the mages during the Midsummer Festival, which is really shocking.
It’s hard to understand!
Obviously, mages have their own set of life and social rules, which Shaduo needs to discover slowly.
The two loaves of bread were eaten quickly with warm water, and Xia Duo was mostly full. Compared to the previous meals at Old Neil's Inn, the food provided to the apprentices in the Mage Tower was simple, but much more refined.
At least among the two pieces of bread, Xia Duo didn't eat even a grain of sand or sawdust. He was already looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast and lunch.
…
After eating the bread, Dean hasn't come back yet. A person like Sha Duo wandering around the door with nothing to do is quite eye-catching. Although no one criticized him, there was obvious disdain in their eyes when they passed by.
However, Dean was the only one who could be considered an acquaintance at the moment, so Shado had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to wait. Before today, he had never felt guilty about waiting.
Sure enough, the environment can influence people the most!
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. Xia Duo saw Dean from a distance. His features were quite obvious, and he had fiery red hair, which was quite rare in the mage tower.
And Dean also found Xia Duo waiting at the door of his dormitory. He could no longer hide the look of shock on his face, and immediately walked quickly towards Xia Duo, with a hint of jealousy in his tone——
"Xia Duo, we meet again. I didn't expect you to be a real apprentice."
Seeing Dean again, hearing Dean's tone again, and the atmosphere in the mage tower he had seen before, Sha Duo felt reassured and became more certain about his previous thoughts.
"Dean, we meet again, shall we chat outside this door?"
"Oh, please come in."
Dean opened the door and invited Sha Duo to come in. The layout of Dean's dormitory was the same as Sha Duo's, with one bedroom and one bathroom. After entering, Dean gave up the only chair to Sha Duo.
"Please take a seat."
Dean seemed a little cautious and sat down on Xia Duo. Then he sat down on the edge of the bed and asked: "Xia Duo, what do you want from me? I got that box of matches through a fair transaction, so you can report it to me."
It’s useless to give it to the Master Mage.”
"Don't worry, I'm not here to ask you for matches. The matches are already yours."
Sha Duo smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect Dean's attitude to change just because his name was added to the mage's robe. But it just so happened that Sha Duo revealed his purpose.
"You should know that I am not familiar with Nese writing now. I would like to ask you to give me some guidance. In exchange, I can help you ask questions to the mage."
Yes, Dean is the lowest level in the mage tower, a pure tool that no one even cares about his name. When he first saw the mage robes on different apprentices, some had names and some did not, Sha Duo vaguely had this idea in his mind.
idea.
Trade with Dean.
Xia Duo currently has no money, it doesn't matter. All he has is the official apprenticeship status that Mu Yan provided him. This status allows him to ask questions to the official mage who takes classes.
Of course, Dean was chosen simply because he was the first person to take the initiative to communicate with Sha Duo.
If Dean is unwilling, Shado can also find other "nameless" apprentices, and the channel to ask questions to the official mage will definitely be hard currency.
Speaking of which, apprentices like Xia Duo who do not have formal apprenticeship qualifications but have formal apprenticeship status may be the only ones in the entire Mage Tower.
He doesn't have the opportunity to ask questions to the official mage for the time being. Selling or exchanging the resources he needs is actually a good choice, and it is also an absolute seller's market.
Other apprentices who have the authority to ask questions may not necessarily give up their limited questioning opportunities to others. It may not be enough for themselves!
Therefore, after hearing Xia Duo's proposal, Dean's first reaction was overjoyment, and then doubt, "Really? Is it true that as long as I call you Nesewen, you are willing to help me ask questions to the mage?"
"real!"
"Great, I've always had a question about [Repair Technique] that I can't figure out. If it weren't for this, I would have become an official apprentice a long time ago. Xia Duo, thank you very much. I'll return the box of matches to you.
"
Dean began to speak incoherently, and actually took out the box of matches from the inner pocket of the mage's robe, and even grabbed a handful of silver coins, which he was about to put into Sha Duo's hand.
Of course Xia Duo refused, "Dean, you don't have to do this. The matches are indeed the result of your transaction. I also learned something from them. As for the silver coins, there is no need for them. Just put them away."
In fact, Xia Duo had thought about the problem of Dean deliberately delaying his learning progress in order to learn the [Restoration Technique], but on second thought, the opportunity to ask questions was so precious, it would definitely be possible for other people.
As for Xia Duo himself, if he were faced with Dean's situation, he would definitely delay the other party's learning progress as much as possible in order to get more opportunities to ask questions.
Rather than changing to someone else, it would be better to try working with Dean first.
This is actually a learning contest, it depends on whether Sha Duo can learn the writing first or Dean can solve the problem of [Repair Technique] first.
Xia Duo still has experience in learning languages. He was able to learn to speak Nese Common in more than half a year. He must have certain skills. Counting the languages before time travel, he can be regarded as a language expert who can speak several foreign languages.
(Force the boss~~).
The learning methods contained in modern education may seem inconspicuous, but they have been verified by countless people. Although Netheril has been established for more than 800 years, in terms of education, it cannot catch up with Shado's motherland before crossing over.
It is true that groups of educators have worked hard to achieve their results. As for Netheril, although there are institutions like the Mage Tower that are similar to universities, the indifferent communication between apprentices is obviously incapable of collision.
