Lord of Arcane

Chapter 158 Arcane Geometry

Back at the residence, Xia Duo was having breakfast while familiarizing himself with the environment under the guidance of Ta Ling, and then read the magic book called "Elementary Arcane Geometry".

It has been several days since De Parker lent him this book. He has already flipped through almost 100 pages of this thin-looking book, but he still hasn't finished it.

But it's coming soon, judging from the contents of the book, it has come to an end.

Through this book, Xia Duo learned how Nether mages accurately describe the structure and even elements of spells. This is an enlightenment book that uses geometry to define magic.

Originally, the spells that Xia Duo recorded in his notes needed to be described in words, especially when it came to details. The Nether language could not even describe them accurately, and Elvish language was needed.

But Xia Duo only knew a few elven words, and he didn't even know the pronunciation. To record a spell was not only cumbersome, but also error-prone.

However, as long as he has learned arcane geometry, Xia Duo can accurately describe and record spells in geometric form, which is more intuitive, more appropriate, and more accurate than written records.

The more people who are interested in digging into the principles of magic and the essence of magic, the more they will pay attention to it.

Although the various conveniences brought by mastering arcane geometry are not obvious at low levels, as the spells mastered become more and more complex, the advantages will become more and more obvious.

Now Xia Duo is eager to finish this book and find the next intermediate and advanced parts. It is rare to encounter a systematic book on magic. He really wants to see it.

……

While Xia Duo was reading silently, the time passed bit by bit. When he came back to ask Ta Ling again, it was already around 6 am.

Guessing that someone was already at the material application office, Xia Duo went out immediately.

After walking through two material requisition offices, I got everything——

Two everyday robes that don't have the slightest magical power;

some loose parchment, and two bottles of ink;

A "Taling Command Set";
A catalog of books.

Among them, what Xia Duo values ​​most is the book catalogue. Although there are many books on it that are beyond his borrowing authority, you can guess one or two if you can see the names.

It's not like the apprentice stage at all, you can't even see the name.

And the most important thing is that you can select specific books from the catalog and have them delivered by Ta Ling, of course, there will be an extra charge.

It's just that sometimes it's inconvenient to leave, or when you feel that time is more valuable than gold coins, you can choose to have Ta Ling send it over.

As for the tower spirit instruction set, Xia Duo just flipped through it roughly, because for a formal mage, the tower spirit is much more flexible. He looked at the instruction set, just to see if there were any instructions that he hadn't thought of at all.

Sometimes some unpopular commands may be useful!
……

Niya's research room is not far from Xia Duo, they are all on the same floor, no matter how far it is, it can't be far.

When Xia Duo arrived, the door of Niya's laboratory was closed, which made him difficult. He knew the basic functions of the laboratory.

Even the reception room just entered the door has sound insulation measures, and the laboratory inside has a lot of isolation magic, even if there is a disturbance inside, the outside will not notice it at all.

Conversely, the inside will not know about any situation outside, unless there is "monitoring" or "alert".

But when a mage is busy, how can he have time to keep an eye on the monitor all the time!As for the alarm, Xia Duo is not sure whether there is an alarm, let alone how to trigger it.

Master De Park brought him here yesterday, and Master De Park has Niya's contact information. Even so, it's still a while!
Just when Xia Duo was in trouble, the door suddenly opened, and a clear voice came out, "Come in!"

Xia Duo hurried in, and the master seat in the reception room was sitting on the head seat of the teacher Niya who met yesterday, and there was an acquaintance beside him.

It's Gardner!

Xia Duo first saluted Niya and called out, "Mentor!"

Then he gave a slight gesture to Ganal. The expression on Ganal's face at this moment can be described as wonderful, and the memories of the past flooded into his mind.

He would never have imagined that Xia Duo, who just joined the Mage Tower last year, would become a full-fledged Mage this year, and even become his mentor's apprentice.

It's unbelievable to think about the truth, and then think about last year's Moon Festival, when he met Xia Duo at the Adventurer's Bar, and chatted a few words like showing off.

I didn't expect Xia Duo to catch up suddenly today. No, it is impossible to become a mage suddenly. There must be a process before, and there must be a sign during the Moon Festival. At that time, Xia Duo was actually laughing at him in his heart Bar.

The more Ganal thinks about it, the worse he feels, but he is not jealous of Xia Duo, but feels ashamed in front of Xia Duo.

At this time, Niya also spoke, and pointed out a seat for Xia Duo, "Sit there first, next time you come, just knock on the door normally."

"Yes." Xia Duo was curious, but he felt it was a matter of course, so he stopped thinking about it and sat down.

"Xia Duo, I heard that you have already started learning arcane geometry?" Niya asked.

De Parker told her?This thought was just a whirl in Xia Duo's mind, and then fell silent, Xia Duo replied, "Yes."

"Very good." Niya turned to Ganal and asked, "Have you read all the books I asked you to read?"

Ganal quickly replied, "I've read it all, and I have a lot of questions to ask my instructor!"

"Don't be in a hurry to ask questions. You can ask Xia Duo to copy the book list I gave you later. Starting today, I will teach you every Monday morning and answer questions on Tuesday morning. You can arrange other times by yourself. Don't bother me." I, are you clear?"

Niya's words were quite imposing, and Xia Duo couldn't tell the good from the bad for the time being, but Ganal couldn't wait to agree, and Xia Duo could only keep up.

"Clear!"

Then Niya stopped talking nonsense, and started directly talking about arcane geometry, but Xia Duo didn't focus on the class. The content of Nya's lecture was quite simple, and it was probably the first time she gave a class to someone else, almost all of which were based on the script. .

Xia Duo has already heard several passages from the magic book "Elementary Arcane Geometry", which are exactly the same as the original text without any changes.

Moreover, during the demonstration, they directly copied the cases in the magic book. Although a beautiful instructor was giving the lecture, Xia Duo was already very familiar with these contents.

There was nothing new, Xia Duo only felt that it was a waste of time, but he didn't dare to leave directly, so he could only pretend to listen carefully.

But his attention was on other places, such as the furnishings in the reception room, Ganal's reaction, and Niya herself.

Especially Niya, people always like beautiful things, beautiful scenery is pleasing to the eye, and beautiful women naturally make people happy.

Even if it was a waste of time, Xia Duo would rather waste it looking at Niya.
