A white light flashed, and Xia Duo's eyes were dazzled, and he found himself at the door of the magic laboratory. Xia Duo took a deep breath, and he finally knew the reason for the irritable old man yesterday.
He was also very irritable at this time, and he might be able to successfully cast [Light Technique] soon, but at this critical moment, the tower spirit actually threw him out!
Xia Duo was so angry that he wanted to yell, but when he thought of the two lonely gold coins in his pocket, he immediately calmed down.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Duo returned to the dormitory, but unexpectedly an unexpected person was waiting at his door——
It's Junior.
Xia Duo had mixed feelings about Little Neil. They were friendly with each other for most of the past six months and were grateful to him for actively teaching her the Nese language. But at the same time, Xia Duo felt angry at Old Neil's actions.
——Life is truly precious, and love is even more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.
In the eyes of modern people, the most precious thing in the world may be freedom. Old Neil actually collaborated with outsiders to enslave him, and even took action. How could Xia Duo not be angry, how could he not want to kill him and then kill him.
After joining the Mage Tower for such a long time, Sha Duo and Junior Neil have chosen the same courses and see each other every day. However, Sha Duo has never taken the initiative to say a word to him, and Junior Neil seems to be avoiding Sha Duo.
.
It was obvious that Junior knew something about his father's actions, but he never explained a word to Xia Duo. Even if he just explained it once, Xia Duo would not be so indifferent.
"Step aside!"
"Xia Duo - I want to learn Naise writing from you." Xiao Neil's face was stunned, his head was buried very low, and his voice was very low. If the dormitory area was not so quiet, Xia Duo would hardly be able to hear it.
"Haha, didn't Old Neil teach you how to do it when you came here?"
"Taught me, but the gold coins I brought have been used up." Xiao Neil's voice became more and more subtle.
Ah--
Xia Duo sneered in his heart. He came to him after running out of gold coins. Could he really treat him as a slave? He was very disappointed with Xiao Neil's performance and was no longer interested in talking to him.
Push him open to enter.
Little Neil quickly grabbed Xia Duo's sleeve and said, "Xia Duo, I also taught you Nese language!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Duo frowned, and the only trace of affection in his heart disappeared. "Leave, I will give you a last suggestion, go to the library No. 25 transcription room to find Edrich."
After saying that, he forcibly pulled Xiao Neil's hand away, pushed him away, walked into the dormitory, and then closed the door.
Xia Duo does not regret his decision, but because he is in another world, his decision is always carefully considered. He and Xiao Neil may have gotten along very happily, but to say how good the relationship really is, then
But that’s not necessarily the case.
Having just arrived in a strange world, Xia Duo could only act friendly in order to protect himself, and even deliberately let everyone think that he was a very kind person.
To be honest, those who are not from my race must have different minds. This is Xia Duo's truest thought.
It's just that after acting too much, he will also set limits on himself. Today's performance by Xiao Neil made Xia Duo see his own heart clearly.
…
Because his previous practice of spells was interrupted, and after what happened to Xiao Neil, Sha Duo did not continue to study spells, but began to read the biography of the great mage to deepen his understanding and memory of Nese's writings.
The next day, a new round of sowing began in the Arcane Garden. Xia Duo went over to show his face as usual, and then went to do his own business under the shade of the trees.
In the afternoon, I continued with Colin's "Level 0 Spell Overview" class. Of course, the overview part was already over. This week we will talk about the "Reading Magic" and Spell Analysis parts.
After class, Xia Duo asked questions at his own pace. Colin answered, and also received remuneration from Donald and others. However, Xia Duo noticed that there were changes in the personnel of Donald's five-person group——
The inspirational man disappeared and was replaced by an apprentice wearing the same refined robe as Donald. Now the styles of the five of them were unified.
However, Xia Duo doesn't care who they replace, as long as they have gold coins to give him.
…
The life in Mage Tower is very regular, very similar to Xia Duo's state in high school, but he is much more involved than in high school. Time just goes by day by day, and Xia Duo's life is extremely fulfilling.
Two months have passed in a flash.
During this period of time, Sha Duo has mastered [Light Technique] proficiently and can release it in one or two breaths. In addition to [Light Technique], Sha Duo also exchanged [Acid Splash] and [Repair Technique]
learning scroll.
[Acid Splash], a classic apprentice-level magic, is to add a touch of magic attack capability to yourself, while [Repair Technique] is the key to an ordinary apprentice being promoted to a formal apprentice.
This kind of promotion is not an increase in spellcasting level, it is just a level improvement within the mage tower.
Once you become a formal apprentice, you will be able to gain many new permissions, such as freely entering and exiting the Mage Tower, redeeming learning scrolls, opening more courses, asking questions after class, and most importantly - unlocking the Mage Tower mission system.
Mage is a very expensive profession, Xia Duo has already experienced it deeply. Ordinary apprentices are basically similar to servants, with very low wages and no extra money. Only after the outstanding ones become formal apprentices can they truly join the Mage Tower.
An opportunity to really make money.
For example, prepare simple spell potions, copy magic scrolls from the apprenticeship stage, cooperate with territorial army patrols, investigate territorial anomalies, etc.
Without these tasks, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to persevere. Even rich people need these tasks to exercise and earn some money by the way.
In the past two months, Xia Duo has earned nearly 200 gold coins just by copying the [Light Technique] scroll. However, the more he earns, the more he spends. He is now able to master [Acid Splash] and [Light Technique] proficiently.
, relying on spending some time in the magic laboratory every day.
In addition, he needed to replenish study supplies, borrow books from the library, and if it weren't for the fact that he could get gold coins by answering questions and solving problems for ordinary apprentices, Xia Duo would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Now his main focus is [Repair Technique]. Now he may not be as good as Dean in terms of basics, but in terms of the speed of learning [Repair Technique], he is miles ahead of Dean.
One has a learning scroll and can view all the details of the spell, while the other can only learn through self-study and asking for advice, and the progress is more than a few miles slower!
…
Before "lights out" that night, Sha Duo had just seen off the Donald Five who had come to "make up lessons" in the dormitory. Someone knocked on the door again. When Sha Duo opened the door, it turned out to be Dean.
"Dean, why is it you? Have you been promoted to a formal apprentice?!"
Sha Duo was surprised to find that Dean had changed into a brand new mage robe, with his name embroidered on the left chest. It turned out that he had passed the assessment of the mage tower quietly and was successfully promoted!
"Alas, I regret it! If I had known I would not be promoted now, alas——"
Although he had achieved his dream of two years, Dean was not happy at all at this moment. Instead, he looked full of frustration and reluctance.
"What's wrong?" Xia Duo asked curiously.
This is the first time he has seen Dean in such a low mood, and he doesn't know what the reason is. Is it because of Dean himself or the Mage Tower? Will it affect him?
