Lord of Arcane

Chapter 112 Donald

"Xia Duo, what about my current shop? Should I close it?" Edric asked suddenly.

Although he has now rekindled his hope of learning magic, he is still a little bit reluctant to leave the store that has been open for two years. It would be a pity if he just gave up.

Xia Duo saw his tangled look, and couldn't help persuading him, "The store opened in the mage's tower, in fact, it is constantly taking money from the lord's pocket. If you really want to continue on the road of magic, the store is still closed." drop it!"

"what?"

Edric was a little dazed. At this moment, he remembered that his father had said similar words to him, but at that time he only thought that his father was dampening his enthusiasm. He didn't expect Xia Duo to say the same!
The persuasion of his companions is more convincing than that of his elders. Although Edric couldn't figure it out for a while, he still decided to follow Xia Duo's advice.

"I understand, I will dispose of the shop as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Eldridge is so obedient, Xia Duo is also a little proud. In fact, a mere retail store is nothing at all. What he is doing now is digging the corner of the mage tower!
……

After dinner, the study groups separated, and Xia Duo also returned to his den.

In front of the desk, Xia Duo opened his notes and began to summarize the teaching points of the apprenticeship stage and recommended books. Xia Duo was actually very dissatisfied with the theoretical books for the apprenticeship stage of the Mage Tower. Not only were there missing parts, but they were not systematic.

The details in the specific books are even more inappropriate, and they are not suitable as basic teaching materials at all.

There was even such a moment when he actually wanted to compile a set of apprentice textbooks by himself, but he gave up after thinking about this kind of limelight.

At present, it is enough to maintain communication within the small circle.

And when Xia Duo summed up the main points, he was actually sorting out his magic system silently. If he wanted to go further, he had to lay a stronger foundation.

The next day, in the hall on the first floor of the mage tower, the apprentices gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the internal affairs mage to arrange work. Many people were notified yesterday that they had to adjust their work, but there were also many who did not need to adjust.

Xia Duo was among the crowd, and what he heard the most was that he wanted to switch to the public floor when he adjusted his work. A few people also talked about the apprentices who died because of the orc wave, but most people didn't care about them.

After all, after these people died, they had the opportunity to adjust their work.

At this time, Xia Duo felt very lucky. They never encountered any beastmen beyond the norm. Although there were a few times that were indeed dangerous, they were all resolved smoothly in the end.

"Xia Duo, Xia Duo."

Hearing someone whispering his name behind his back, Xia Duo looked back, and it turned out to be Donald who he hadn't seen for a long time. Back then, Xia Duo made a small fortune with Donald and his group, which supported his early expenses.

"Donald, what do you want from me?"

"I saw you the day before yesterday."

"See me? The award ceremony?"

"Yes, I saw you, and Dean." There was an inexplicable taste in Donald's words. Xia Duo entered the mage tower with him, and Dean was originally an ordinary apprentice. He survived and was rewarded by the lord.

However, he did not continue this topic, but asked:
"What job are you going to change?"

"I'm not going to change, I'll stay in the Arcane Garden." Xia Duo didn't hide it, after all, he would know after a little inquiring.

Donald's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Xia Duo, can I go to the Arcane Garden?"

"If you want to go, you can go, and I can't decide anything."

At this time, Xia Duo had already guessed what Donald wanted to do, and he did not refuse Donald who approached him. The study group was short of backup force.

"Great!" Donald almost beamed with joy, "I used to work in the materials department, and although there were mages passing by every day, all of those mages had a straight face, and we didn't dare to say hello, let alone ask questions. "

"The same goes for the Arcane Garden. The manager is only busy with his own affairs, and never pays attention to us."

"Uh—" Donald was a little stunned. Does he have to admit that he went to Xia Duo?Although he had this idea, the young man was thin-skinned after all, so he didn't say it directly.

The two chatted for a few more words, and the internal affairs mage came from the direction of the elevator.

The hall was suddenly quiet, leaving only the voice of the internal affairs mage, "Due to the loss of some apprentices, some work needs to be rescheduled. Apprentices with relevant experience are given priority."

At this time, Xia Duo remembered that he had joined the Mage Tower for so long, and he had only learned to make simple magic scrolls at work, and he knew nothing about other things such as processing materials and making potions.

He is even more reluctant to do chores such as cooking, laundry, and mopping the floor.

Now it seems that the Arcane Garden is the most suitable for him!
Due to the shortage of some "high-quality workers", no one in the Arcane Garden competed with Xia Duo. This time, Sammy, Devine, and Dean all successfully obtained jobs in the Arcane Garden.

As for Edric, perhaps because of the businessman image he has always shown, even the house mage seems to have forgotten about this person, and did not arrange a job for him at all.

It's like a transparent person.

Most of the more than 30 ordinary apprentices in the Arcane Garden stayed in the Arcane Garden. Only a few of them chose to adjust their work, but except for the newly joined Donald, no one else added it.

Including the official apprentices like Xia Duo in the current Arcane Garden, there are not yet thirty people in total.

Maybe this wave of orcs really killed a lot of apprentices.

……

After adjusting the work, the internal affairs mage drifted away, and Xia Duo also went straight to the elevator to the Arcane Garden.

It was only after arriving that I realized that the transparent man, Edric, had already arrived, and was squatting not far from the mage on duty, drawing something casually on the ground with his fingers.

Seeing Xia Duo, Edric immediately got up and greeted him, "Xia Duo! Sami! You are finally here!"

The apprentices who came with Xia Duo were curious when they saw Edric, "Why is he here?"

"Is Edric also working in the Arcane Garden?"

"It's Xia Duo! He's with Xia Duo!"

……

Xia Duo ignored the whispers of the apprentices, and after reporting to the mage on duty, he walked towards the orchard, followed by the members of the study group.

As for the ordinary apprentices, they entered the building behind the mage on duty to change clothes, get tools, and prepare to work. Donald, who witnessed all this, was even more convinced that it would be beneficial to follow Xia Duo.

Edric is the most obvious example. Before today, who would have thought that the apprentice merchant who occupied the transcription room would come to the Arcane Garden?
"Hey! You! Why are you so stunned! Hurry up and change your clothes, get your tools, and go to work. Now that there are fewer people, the work may not be less!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my name is Donald, I entered the mage tower with Xia Duo, can you tell me what to do in the arcane garden?"

I don't know if it was because of Donald's almost humble attitude, or because he and Xia Duo entered the mage tower in the same batch. In short, the ordinary apprentice who was asked by him immediately changed his face, and pulled Donald aside with a smile to talk in a low voice.
