Lord of Arcane

Chapter 139 Magic Book

Task progress: 20/1000, still need to work hard!

Now Xia Duo is looking forward to two things, one is that the lord will appear as soon as possible, and then give him a promotion authority; the other is that the mission office will refresh a mission with super high rewards and super low difficulty, and he just happens to accept it!
If these two things can be put together, then he can immediately get rid of most of the trivial matters and study magic with peace of mind.

……

Early the next morning, Xia Duo got up early as usual. Before he raised his authority, he should continue to work in the Arcane Garden.

And this also made Edric and the others very curious, "Xia Duo, didn't you go to elevate your authority yesterday? Why did you come again today? Didn't it work?"

Xia Duo was also very embarrassed about this. He had already bid farewell to them, but he didn't expect to come back here again, so he could only force a smile and said casually:
"There are still a few territorial tasks that have not been completed, and the authority can be raised when the task indicators are completed!"

"Territory mission?" Everyone was surprised, they were actually short of mission targets!
Except for Edric who took over a few simple territory tasks here and there, no one else took over a single territory task.

There is still a certain threshold for accepting territory missions. Most of the missions have requirements for the spells and knowledge mastered by apprentices. Although these requirements may not be needed at all, if they do not meet the requirements, they will not be able to accept territory missions.

Not to mention that Dean just became a full-time employee last year. Sammy and Devane originally only lacked mastery of [Message] and [Detect Toxin], so they haven't started to do territory tasks.

Later, I met the task requirements and joined the study group, so that I had no time to go out to do the task at all.

Now that they heard that Xia Duo was stuck on the territory mission, they naturally felt a sense of urgency. They didn't expect to become a formal mage before, but now that they have, they have to consider the territory mission.

Although Edric has taken over a few tasks, he is still far from being promoted!
"Oh—what should I do?" Edric pulled his hair, a little mad.

Sammy also frowned, "I heard that the class will start in a few days, and I'm going to sign up for "The Art of Spellcasting"! If this is the case, when will the task indicators be completed!"

"What about "The Art of Spellcasting"! Didn't Xia Duo teach us spellcasting skills? I don't plan to enroll in any courses, and I will concentrate on completing the tasks in the territory!" Dean immediately retorted.

Cough—cough—

Xia Duo almost choked himself. In terms of the principles of spells at the apprentice level, the nature of the magic net, etc., Xia Duo is confident that he can surpass most mages in the mage tower.

However, in terms of spellcasting skills, Xia Duo is still a little guilty. He can only say that he is quite satisfactory and average. After all, he has been in contact with magic for less than a year, and he has even less time to practice. A skill honed by the moon.

And being able to start a class on "The Art of Casting Spells", presumably the other party is quite proud of his spellcasting skills. There must be something Xia Duo can learn in it. If he is not busy solving territorial tasks, he would like to listen to it himself. .

For people like Dean who almost blindly believed in him, Xia Duo was both a little happy and a little worried.The result of fans turning black is not just talk, in the magical world, everything is possible.

At the moment, he also had to cool down Dean a little, "Dean, I'm not good at spellcasting skills, and you still have to take the classes you should take."

"Yes!"

Hearing such a thoughtless answer, Xia Duo knew that he might be talking in vain.

……

After chatting for a while, Xia Duo came to the orchard alone. It was still the familiar apple tree. Xia Duo took out the "Elementary Arcane Geometry" that Master De Parker lent him when he was in the examination room.

This is a magic book, a book made through magic. Of course, although Xia Duo didn't read it, he can guess whether it contains specific magic.

Generally speaking, books on spellcasting skills or magic theory will include one or two simple apprentice spells as examples, but it is extremely inefficient to learn new spells through this method.

It also tests the experience and wisdom of the learners.

Opening the first page of the magic book, there is actually a title page inside, which says——

"The door of the arcane, opened here. - Iolum"

what--

Xia Duo let out a soft cry, moved the magic book closer, and reconfirmed that the name on it was indeed Iolum. Xia Duo was shocked, and did not expect that this book was written by that person.

Considering that the first lord of Savile Land was a student of Iolum, it is not surprising that there are Iolum's writings in the mage tower, but the question is, how could that mage Depak lend him this book so easily.

It stands to reason that the writings of a master who can teach great arcanists should not be easily borrowed!

Or is it a high imitation work like "Jin Yongquan" and "Gu Longxin"?
With all kinds of doubts, Xia Duo continued to turn to the second page, which was a page similar to a catalog and a summary, which introduced the origin, development, and benefits of algebraic geometry to magic research.

It is specifically mentioned that arcane geometry is a tool for studying magic, not the essence of magic, and then there are some words of encouragement and warning.

In the end, the real author appeared—Grand Arcanist Xavier. This is a supplementary book specially written based on the teachings he received from Iolum, especially for those who are interested in pursuing the ultimate arcane art.

When I opened it again, it was the main text of this "Elementary Arcane Geometry". To Xia Duo's surprise, the content mentioned here was not so profound, but very simple.

"That's right!"

Xia Duo was not unhappy because the content was very simple, but he was relieved because of this kind of pie from the sky, or too much investment, he always felt uneasy.

If it was given to him by the lord, then he would suffer it, but that mage Depak has no relationship with him. If he really benefits him greatly, then Xia Duo will ask, what exactly do you want from me? What!
Soul or freedom, or body?Thinking about it, I feel that it is not a taste. When did I dare not eat the benefits of the mouth?

After a few shallow complaints, Xia Duo began to read the book seriously.

……

The biggest difference between the magic book and ordinary books is that it can be read through magic vision. When Xia Duo reads the words on the page with his eyes, he also enters a state of concentration in casting spells, "seeing" the spell structure emerging on the page.

The intuitive nature of magic, compared with the annotation text, and the content is quite simple, Xia Duo almost effortlessly read the first page of the text.

The rest of the time passed in Xia Duo's focused reading.

It wasn't until Edric called him to do physical training together that Xia Duo took his attention away from the magic book, and only then did he notice that he hadn't even finished reading the book.

The memory just now told Xia Duo that he had obviously turned through dozens of pages, but he hadn't finished it yet, but this obviously didn't match the thin thickness of the magic book.

I wanted to continue my research, but I still couldn't give up on physical training. Xia Duo didn't expect his physique to be strong, but he had to maintain a certain intensity of training, otherwise it would be a very bad thing to lose the chain at a critical moment.

Sighing again that it is indeed a magic book, Xia Duo put the book away carefully, and then trained with Edric and the others, no matter what he started, he must stick to it!
