Although he was very confident that the Tower of Time would not kill him and silence him, after all, his own life was involved, and no one could take it lightly.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he had just traveled through time. He was worried, worried about gains and losses, and was afraid that someone would suddenly jump out on the street and kill him casually.
Looking at the [Blade of Veto] and the mysterious magic arrow in the portable space, Xia Duo seemed to have a little more confidence, but this kind of confidence derived from the unknown is not safe after all.
Xia Duo only saved 2 upgraded 3-level [Mage Armor] in the magic network storage spell, and replaced all the others with 3-level [Magic Missile].
Even a high-level mage can't ignore the 5 consecutive hits.
He is now an intermediate mage, and he has some speculations about the abilities of a high-level mage. In addition to at least double the total number of spells stored in the magic network, there are also uncertain magic items.
Compared to the former, Xia Duo is more worried about the latter, especially since the Tower of Time is the inheritance of the Great Arcanist, and God knows how many high-end products exist.
But it was precisely because of this that Xia Duo dared to go back. If it had been a mage tower with insufficient background, or a high-level mage who was alone, then Xia Duo would have run away.
Judging from everything he observed in Savile Territory and the Tower of Time, Lord Epps should be trustworthy. After all, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties. Instead, Shado is sending benefits to his doorstep.
After sorting out all his thoughts, Xia Duo's mood gradually calmed down. He took out his spell notes and continued to study the [Flying Seat].
Although it is unlikely that it will be researched in a short time, this is not a reason to relax.
…
Two days later, Chateau set foot on the land of Savile Port.
In a place far away from people like Daxia Territory, he has blurred the concept of time. He didn't feel anything bad when he was there. As soon as he returned to Savile Town, the lively atmosphere hit his face.
Not only have there been more people, but Midsummer is approaching. If we ignore the more than a year in the projection plane, it has been nearly a year since Xia Duo embarked on the path of becoming a mage.
It was after the Midsummer Festival last year that he joined the Tower of Time. Although he was just a handyman-like apprentice at the time, he has now become a mid-level mage with powerful power.
What happened during this year flashed through Xia Duo's mind like a fleeting glimpse——
Magic enlightenment class, questioning middlemen, gathering a small circle, killing for the first time, getting honors, becoming an official mage, arcane competitions, opening up territories, traveling to the astral world, until now.
Although he did not participate in any earth-shattering events, his life was still very exciting, and his time travel was not in vain.
…
At the port, Xia Duo asked Old Owen to take Dongzhi to buy a dog, and asked him to meet with several people from the cooperative chamber of commerce to discuss matters, and arrange everything as if there was no crisis at all.
Before coming back this time, he did not contact Niya first. After returning to the Tower of Time, he took out the communication tool and started to contact her.
"Tutor, are you free? I have something very important to report."
The message was sent, but Niya did not reply immediately. It was naturally impossible for Sha Duo to be obsessed with love and die holding the communication device.
While waiting for Niya's reply, Shaduo went to the library. He remembered that there was a spell book about "Levitation" in the library.
Level 0 [Mage's Hand], Level 1 [Feather Fall], Level 2 [Levitation], Level 3 [Flight], these four spells belong to a series of spells in the change system that can change the gravity state of objects.
.
But Xia Duo has only learned [Mage's Hand].
Because the time to become an official mage was too short, and the number of spells cast per day was limited, Xia Duo's accumulation of spells was very limited. He could only choose the range of spells to study based on his needs.
The use of [Feather Fall Technique] is too small. Even now, Xia Duo has no chance to use it, so what is the purpose of learning it?
Might as well learn something more useful.
As for [Levitation Technique], Xia Duo only came into contact with the second level of magic net during the arcane competition. Excluding the time in the projection plane, it has only been more than a month.
He basically never touches such uncommon spells.
For more than a year in the projection plane, Xia Duo did not have the Tower of Time by his side, so he could only study on his own based on what he had learned and some elf magic.
Of course, what is more important is to consolidate the lack of power caused by rapid upgrades.
In fact, Xia Duo, an intermediate mage, is actually very good. He may be called a junior mage with a solid theoretical foundation. He still needs many spells to enrich himself.
It can be said that the time in the projection plane is really important to him, which is equivalent to allowing him to travel through time and go back to the past.
In other words, let him become an intermediate mage in the future, covering the present.
However, since he can use the projection plane in this way, others can certainly do it. The real magical world has too many secrets that cannot be covered by some game information on earth.
Maybe some genius mages are created like this, accumulating experience in the projection plane - upgrading in the main plane - accumulating experience in the projection plane, and so on.
Of course, this is just his guess. Maybe some people are really born smart, and upgrading is as easy as drinking water for them.
For that kind of person, Xia Duo can only say that he is envious, jealous, and hateful!
…
"[Featherfall] Spellcasting Practice Summary", written by Master Depak, Level 8 of Tower of Time, 50 gold coins per day.
"[Levitation Technique] From Beginner to Mastery", written by Epps, a level 12 mage from the Tower of Time, 150 gold coins per day.
After borrowing these two books, Xia Duo was told by the mage on duty that with his current authority, he could only borrow two books.
In other words, Xia Duo can still borrow two books from the library. If he wants to borrow them again later, he will have to complete the task of the Mage Tower.
Whether you are on duty, selling scrolls, potions, etc., as long as the task management office has it, you can pick it up. The only thing that is more gratifying is that Xia Duo belongs to the direct sequence of the Tower of Time, and there are relatively few tasks to complete.
And for those attached sequences like Keqing, if you want to increase the number of books that can be borrowed, you need to complete at least twice as many tasks as him.
"I understand, thank you Master Veblen for the reminder."
Xia Duo took two spell books and left the library with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Gan, f*ck the joy!"
However, Shado still took Veblen's reminder to heart. The junior mage wanted to show his kindness, and Shado was willing to accept it. Since the Arcane Competition, he has met many people like Veblen.
.
But Xia Duo also knew that the object of their goodwill was actually "the pioneer" secondly, and mainly "Niya's apprentice".
…
Before returning to his residence, Xia Duo went to the mission management office on the public floor. In addition to the regular duties, inspections, investigations, and sales of magic items, the tasks there also included development tasks.
For example, this article, [The town office is recruiting 5 junior mages, who need to be proficient in the following spells... Those with certain investigative experience will be given priority. The mission will last one week, and the reward will be 100 gold coins per person.]
Of course, there are also those who need intermediate mages. The reward is 500 gold coins and the time is one week, but only two are needed. The task is to supervise foreign mages.
After the last arcane competition, Savile Territory recruited many outside mages in order to open up new territories. Sha Duo was deeply impressed by this. The apprentice who had previously delivered him meals was even injured by outsiders using spells to tease him.
Later, after the development started, those foreign mages left the Mage Tower, and the peace of the past was restored in the Mage Tower.
