Xia Duo understands that it is true that formal apprentices have the opportunity to ask questions, but each person can only ask once a day. Generally, there are not too many people when a formal mage teaches, and questions will not take up too much teaching time, but if not
If you add restrictions, one person can ask for one day.
Chateau quickly told the question that Dean wanted to know. Ganal was silent for a moment and said: "The apprentice you are talking about should be lacking in basic mathematics. To solve this problem, you only need to use arcane magic."
For some basic knowledge in geometry, if you ask him to go to the library and borrow the book "Geometry Principles in Level 0 Spells", it will surely solve his problem."
Chateau took down Ganard's instructions, and the other apprentices also took down the book silently. Although they did not have the right to ask questions, they still had no problem listening.
After answering Xia Duo's question, Ganal's teaching task for today is also over. He will take a total of one week in the magic initiation class. Teaching a new apprentice an initiation class is not a good job, and formal mages are usually unwilling to do it.
Because the Enlightenment Class has the lowest rating in the Mage Tower, the remuneration is naturally the lowest, but the remuneration that is worthless to a formal mage is a large sum for an apprentice.
Ganal also became the instructor of this year's new apprentices after a lot of competition.
…
After disbanding, Xia Duo went directly to the restaurant next to him to get two loaves of bread and then returned to the dormitory floor. The lights would be turned off in more than three hours. He needed to hurry up and go to Dean's place to continue sorting out the Nese language dictionary.
And even if he finished sorting out the half of the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance", there would still be more new words and phrases waiting for him, but by then he would need to borrow books from the library.
02163 Dormitory, Dean has come back, and he doesn’t want to delve into anything anymore today. Instead, he is sitting outside the dormitory door absentmindedly looking through his notes while gnawing bread, waiting for Sha Duo to arrive.
When he thought that Xia Duo might bring him the key to the final level of formal apprenticeship, Dean became a little restless. It had been two years since he joined the Mage Tower. If he could not become an official apprentice within the third year, his family would
I won't support him anymore.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to come into contact with a formal apprentice who had not yet started his enlightenment, and could exchange questions at a very low price, Dean might have been desperate.
The vast majority of the entire Mage Tower is made up of ordinary apprentices like him. Everyone asks questions to the Master of Ideas, but the opportunities are very limited. After meeting the needs of the formal apprentices themselves, how many can be divided among them?
Even if there is, it is not something Dean can afford.
When Sha Duo arrived near dormitory 02163, he saw Dean sitting in a daze at the door. Even when he approached, Dean didn't notice.
"Dean, why don't you go in?"
"Shado!" Dean was instantly overjoyed when he heard this obviously accented Nese common language, "Shado, you are back! I helped you copy the first half of the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" this afternoon.
.”
Xia Duo was stunned when he heard this, "Didn't you go to class?"
"I'm out of touch." Dean's tone was a little bleak, "The mage never cares whether we understand or not when he teaches, and there are no formal apprentices here, so there is no question period. The course I am taking now has been repeated for the third time.
It’s our turn, and missing a day or two won’t have much impact.”
Xia Duomo said, the treatment of this ordinary apprentice is really miserable.
The Mage Tower allows them to listen to lectures and borrow books, but does not allow them to ask questions. This simply forces them to teach themselves to become geniuses. In fact, this is how all the official apprentices in the Mage Tower came.
Except for Chateau.
"I asked that question for you today, but I took an enlightenment class, not a formal mage's class."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Dean's eyes were shining, looking at Xia Duo expectantly. He didn't care about the apprentice or the mage. As long as he could give him an answer, he didn't mind even a beggar.
Chateau repeated Ganard's answer, focusing on the book "Geometry Principles in Level 0 Spells".
After listening to Shado's narration and the official apprentice's evaluation, Dean was a little distracted. He had gotten the book in his hands several times, but since it was not a direct spellcasting skill, he put it back.
Thinking about it now, I really regret it.
"Xia Duo, wait a moment!"
Dean rushed into the room and came out with a notebook, "Here, I copied the first half of the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" that I scratched out before. This notebook is for you. You can sort it out first.
Let’s talk about the words. I will explain the specific pronunciation and meaning to you tomorrow.”
He couldn't wait to rush to the library, but thinking that reading alone might not solve his problem, Dean simply gave the notebook to Shado.
Xia Duo looked at the notebook that Dean had thrust into his hand. It was the same notebook he copied yesterday, but the first half of the content had been scratched out by Dean and "Proverbs" had been copied onto it again.
Such a standard notebook, if it is brand new, will cost 15 gold coins at the material requisition office.
And if magic knowledge is recorded in it, it can be turned into a spell book. The price will increase almost geometrically, depending on the value of the knowledge inside.
However, even if the paper inside has been scratched and written many times and is filled with "Proverbs" of little value, this notebook is still worth at least several gold coins.
The cost of knowledge is actually reflected in the cost of paper. So far, Xia Duo has never seen real paper - paper made of cheap materials, all of which are animal skin paper, usually lamb skin.
Of course, there are calf skin, monitor lizard skin and other skins suitable for making paper, and even dragon skin, but the price is unimaginable. Chateau has been in Savile Town for half a year and has never heard of any slaughter by the Nese people.
Regarding dragon deeds, I only heard that there is a dragon-skin magic book in the Elf Kingdom, which is said to contain magic that can destroy the world.
The path of a mage requires not only talent, but also money.
Some seemingly inconspicuous but indispensable basic consumables are valuable, such as a bottle of ink costing 10 gold coins, and a 100-page blank note costing 15 gold coins. The cost of a library loan is usually the cost of the book itself.
One percent (at least 1 gold coin).
If you only rely on the salary of 1 silver coin per day in the Mage Tower, how can you survive? You must find a way to make money, whether it is from the family behind you or from other apprentices.
Although the notebook given by Dean was already full of words, Shado was still very happy because the man with only 6 pieces of parchment couldn't afford to be hurt.
He plans to sort out all the words inside and then scratch them out as his first notebook. This way he doesn't need to buy parchment paper alone, which is not cost-effective. He can save money to buy original blank notebooks in the future.
However, being so happy, Xia Duo also forgot about his original plan. When he returned to his dormitory, he remembered that he had originally planned to renegotiate the deal with Dean.
