Lord of Arcane

Chapter 154 Privilege Escalation
On the other side, after Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower, he immediately went to the mission management office, handed over the mission, and successfully obtained 400 gold coins.

So far, the mission index: 420/1000, almost completed, but it's a pity that Mrs. Patty has arrived at the mage's tower, and it is estimated that it is unlikely to give him further mission rewards.

Of course, Xia Duo didn't actually find out much from his investigation, and he completed a task of 400 gold coins in less than half a day, and he has already made a lot of money.

He doesn't have anything to complain about, life has to go on, if he can complete the task indicators before raising his authority, then he can concentrate on doing what a formal mage should do in the future.

While complaining about the task promotion system of the Mage Tower, while continuing to select tasks, it feels really uncomfortable to force Zhenxiang!
It's just that it's getting late today, the missions won't be updated, and the only missions are basically picked by him, Xia Duo just scanned it, then gave up, and planned to come back the next day.

If you can encounter such a cost-effective task like today again, it will be too seconds!
After dinner, Xia Duo was about to go to the library to stay for a while, but unexpectedly received a notification from Ta Ling on the way——

"Apprentice Xia Duo, the privilege escalation process has started, please go to the assessment room as soon as possible to wait for the assessment."

Xia Duo was shocked, finally came!The Lord has finally appeared!

If he had chosen management privileges, or had completed the promotion task indicators for apprentice privileges, he would have been able to elevate his privileges long ago.

It is precisely because the lord has to intervene that he is stuck here because he has not completed the quota and has to elevate his authority. Under normal circumstances, apprentices will not encounter this situation after they become official mages.

And Xia Duo is also looking forward to it, will he see the lord? Will he show his sharpness then, or hide his clumsiness a little?
First of all, the last similar case was Adrian, and in the end he became the lord's student, which made Xia Duo very much looking forward to.

And if he can also become a student of the lord, then his future will be very secure. At least until now, he has never heard of anything happening to the student of the lord.

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo went to the examination room on the public floor much more briskly. While walking, he was looking forward to the day of becoming a student of the lord, and at the same time he was distracted thinking about the [steam ray].

If there is an assessment later, it must be this [Steam Ray]. When creating this magic, Xia Duo only considered the problem of breaking through the first layer of the magic net, and did not think much about the practicality of the magic.

Of course, this is not to say that [Steam Ray] is useless at all, but Xia Duo feels that it can be improved to make it more practical.

He already has some ideas now, but this idea may be regarded as deviant in the Mage Tower, and Xia Duo is not going to demonstrate it in front of outsiders for the time being.

……

The mage on duty in the assessment room today is still the last mage De Parker. The last time he lent Xia Duo the magic book, Xia Duo hadn't finished reading it. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the two met again.

"Master De Parker, I just received a notice from Ta Ling, saying that I am coming to assess—"

Xia Duo scanned the room without a trace. The room was not big and could not hide people at all. He was a little disappointed that the lord did not come.

He doesn't doubt that the lord has used magic to become invisible. After all, he is not a special person. What qualifications does the lord have to observe invisibly!
And what Master De Parker said next made him even more sure of this.

"Xia Duo, the assessment is just a formality. The lord has agreed to elevate your authority. The main reason for calling you here is to arrange a mentor for you."

As soon as he heard the "arrangement", Xia Duo understood that he could no longer be a student of the lord!
Xia Duo was very manic in his heart. He missed this great opportunity. He thought that he surpassed Adrian in terms of upgrade speed and understanding of magic. How could the lord let him go!
But on the surface, you still have to maintain a polite attitude and say respectfully: "Yes!"

De Parker was very satisfied with Xia Duo's attitude, "You are here to cast the magic you mentioned last time, is it called [Steam Ray]?"

"Yes, but here?" Xia Duo was puzzled, but he didn't doubt the strength of the mage De Parker in front of him, but isn't it a bit hasty to judge like this?

"Yes, it's right here, hurry up! I'll take you to see your mentor soon!"

As he said that, Master Depak cast a protective magic, which appeared like a translucent red shield, and he motioned to Xia Duo at the same time, "Facing this one!"

Xia Duo nodded, and instantly entered a state of concentration on spellcasting. The shield in his vision emitted a bright magical aura, and Xia Duo could vaguely discern the general structure of the spell.

But for its specific magical elements, only the most superficial part can be seen.

Although Xia Duo was very curious about the opponent's spells, the opponent's spell casting was not for him to study, and of course it was not to test Xia Duo's [Steam Ray].

It's to prevent Xia Duo's spell from damaging other places.

Sure enough, after Xia Duo fired the [Steam Ray], the ray that was not pointing at the center of the shield turned automatically and flew towards the center.

And once it came into contact with the center of the magic shield of Mage De Parker, the steam ray disappeared in an instant, without even leaking out, which surprised Xia Dao.

This kind of hard "eating" of magic does not have the slightest smoke and fire, even Xia Duo himself cannot do it. He can counter his own [steam ray], but it is impossible to do it without waves.

After all, the point of countermeasures is to completely reverse the details of the opponent's spellcasting. Even if the same person does this, the details will be different due to the state of the spellcasting.

In essence, as long as any spell is cast by a person, it will be different. The difference is that some mages can control the variables extremely accurately.

Of course, Xia Duo felt that Master De Parker had taken advantage of the unknown magic, and the key to completely eliminating Xia Duo's magic was the magic that specialized in rays.

Although Xia Duo sighed, was surprised, and even awed, he was not discouraged at all. He knew that one day, he could do all of these, and he would do better than the other party.

After only casting [Steam Ray] once, Xia Duo stopped, waiting for Master De Parker's judgment.

"That's right, it's indeed a level 1 spell, and it's a brand new spell that hasn't been recorded yet, and its power is quite impressive."

After speaking, Master Depak cast a spell to leave a mark on a piece of parchment on the table and sent it out. Immediately afterwards, Shaduo heard the familiar tower spirit prompt again——

"Master Xia Duo, congratulations on your promotion to the formal master level of apprenticeship, current level: level 1."

Level 1 authority sounds like the lowest level. This is too far from Xia Duo's original expectation of becoming a lord student!
No matter how good his mentality was, he still couldn't bear it. He subconsciously asked, "How many levels of authority does the Mage Tower have?!"

"Hehe, don't worry, Xia Duo. After I bring you to meet your mentor, your mentor will raise your authority for you."

It's okay not to say this, but once he said it, Xia Duo felt a chill in his heart. From now on, the channel to upgrade the authority will be in the hands of the instructor, which is too sad!
Is it another kind of private labor?
Then De Parker gave Xiaduo a Tower of Time badge, and said, "This badge allows you to contact Tower Spirit outside the Mage Tower, keep it!"

Xia Duo took the badge numbly, isn't this thing essentially the one he got at the award ceremony before?The only difference is that the back of the badge he got now does not have any inscriptions.

"Ugh--"

With a long sigh in my heart, I followed Master De Park to meet the so-called "mentor"!

　Don't worry about the instructor, it's Niya~~
