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 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 at 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 first and then sweet, and first tight and then 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 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 is 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 need to ask how to practice casting spells. Instead, he asked one of the several questions Donald and the others 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 have a few more questions to leave 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 jotted them down. In fact, he could answer Donald right now for some of the questions, and he did the same.
"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 had already arrived one after another.
However, these people who come to eat will not pay too much attention to them. The subtext of Xia Duo is actually asking whether he should say it in front of Donald and others. This is different from asking questions after class. Anyway, everyone in class can listen.
The money just allows Xia Duo to ask the questions he wants 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 earn 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 be willing 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 either. 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 ideas, Shado only heard Dean mention it in the spell practice room. When he demonstrated it himself, since 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.
…
Magic laboratory.
Not caring about mourning the five gold coins that he had just received and left so quickly, Sha Duo had already 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 among them, 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, the longest duration, and the most stable light source for [Lighting Technique], using a spherical shape is a good choice. Of course, it can also be shaped into a lamp tube.
However, the positive energy will not be concentrated enough and will appear bleaker.
In the beginner stage, Xia Duo will not think about how to improve or change the structure of the spell, but will cast the spell completely according to the operation of the learning scroll.
Focus, enter the vision of magic, and the calm magic net is waiting for him. On the first try, because of his lack of proficiency, 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 that the magic network at arm's length in front of him 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 disdainful thought in his mind.
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 is extremely weak, mostly in the form of shimmering light.
In this way, Xia Duo repeated the exercises mechanically until he felt somewhat proficient and was about to try it in a complete form, but——
