Lord of Arcane

Chapter 160 Genuine Spirit Wine

"Do you know Master Niya?" Xia Duo asked.

It should be human nature to inquire about the situation of the mentor, and Gardner should have also inquired, but in terms of channels, Gardner is obviously not as good as Edric.

Edric's father is the lord's pocketbook, his brother is a student of the lord, and he has been in the mage's tower for several years, so he has enough sources of information.

And Niya is so young, and her spellcasting level has reached level 7, so it must not be difficult to find out.

However, Edric's reaction was very strange, "Xia Duo, what are you asking her for? I only heard my brother mention it once by chance, saying that this Niya is a genius that he will never be able to match, but this She seems to be very mysterious, and there is very little information about her."

"Oh?"

Is it too genius, the lord deliberately protects?Or is it too low-key, so that the slightest bit of wind can't be heard?

"She is my mentor now, I want to know more about it." Xia Duo said.

"She is your mentor?" Edric opened his mouth wide in surprise, and at the same time, there was a hint of worry on his face, "I heard that the more talented a mage is, the more crazy he is, and he will crazily oppress apprentices for his own research, you—— "

"Can you tell me?" Xia Duo was also a little worried. It must not be so simple to become a level 7 mage at such a young age. Talent and resources are indispensable.

In terms of talent, Xia Duo can understand, but in terms of resources, isn't an apprentice free labor?Now Niya doesn't want him and Ganal to do anything, maybe it's just an internship period and an adaptation period?
Xia Duo looked at Edric, hoping to get more information from him.

"I know a mage, so I won't say the name." Edric looked at Xia Duo apologetically, and Xia Duo expressed his understanding. After all, apprentice gossip about a formal mage has certain risks.

Edric continued, "As long as the mage receives any apprentice, he will squeeze it crazily. I heard that a mage with good talent once served him as an apprentice, and then he lost his ability to cast spells because of an experimental error. In the end, I had to leave the Mage Tower."

"There is such a thing?" Xia Duo was very surprised, but he had never heard of this before.

"Generally, there are very few accidents. Most instructors let apprentices do some tedious preparations. Apprentices will not be allowed to participate in actual experiments. After all, participating in experiments is a rare knowledge."

"What about the teaching? How long is the teaching in a week? Are there any questions?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Teaching depends entirely on the mood. Generally, there is once a week. If you answer questions, you need to work for the tutor in exchange."

According to what Edric said, Niya doesn't seem to be the kind of oppressive mentor, and she didn't mention any conditions in her Tuesday Q&A.

This made him feel a little better, but this was just the beginning, and he didn't know what would happen in the future!

"By the way!" Edric suddenly remembered something, "I know someone who might know about Master Niya!"

Xia Duo hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"It's also a student of the lord, a mage named Cecily. The lord only has two female students. Mage Cecily must know more than my brother."

"..."

Xia Duo rolled his eyes. If this is the case, then he might as well ask Niya's teacher directly. He just wanted to inquire quietly through a farther channel.

He didn't get the information he wanted to know from Edric, so Xia Duo didn't plan to stay any longer, and said goodbye after a few greetings.

After returning, Xia Duo was in the reception room, while calculating the spell structure and elements of [Steam Ray] through arcane geometry, while waiting for the lunch to be delivered.

It was the first time to enjoy the meal delivery service, and Xia Duo was looking forward to it. When he made reservations for lunch and dinner in the morning, he didn't mention what he needed, and he didn't know what would be delivered.

Soon, a crisp siren woke him up from the world of Arcane, he hurriedly opened the door, and an apprentice holding a lunch box stood outside the door.

"My lord, your lunch."

Xia Duo hummed, took the lunch box, and closed the door without saying a word.Back in the room, Xia Duo couldn't wait to open the lunch box.

The inside is not much different from the lunch of the apprenticeship stage, a piece of meat, two pieces of bread, and a lettuce leaf. The only difference is that there is an extra bottle of wine inside.

"Authentic spirit wine!"

Xia Duo immediately thought of what it might be. The transparent glass bottle, the amber liquid, could smell a faint fragrance of apples before opening the cork.

When the cork was removed, the fragrance disappeared instead, and instead of taking the glass, Xia Duo just took a sip from the bottle.

One word - "cool"!
Two words - "very cool"!
The alcohol content of this wine is not even as good as the inferior version drunk by the apprentices. There is almost no alcohol taste in the mouth, only the natural fragrance of apples.

This kind of fragrance is not only effective on the body, just with that sip, Xia Duo seemed to be in a quiet forest, surrounded by all things, singing praises for him.

He felt that his spirit had also been baptized, and his whole body became much clearer!

But, how can one sip of such a good wine be enough?

One bite, one more bite!
When Xia Duo felt something was wrong, he had already finished the bottle of wine, "Damn it! Don't tell me that this thing is not available every day!"

After inquiring about Ta Ling, Xia Duo was completely wilted. This bottle of wine was his share for a month. If he wanted more, he would naturally need more gold coins!
100 gold coins a bottle, and there are still limited editions!Xia Duo can guarantee that the cost of this bottle of wine will never exceed 10 gold coins, and it is brewed by the Mage Tower itself, so the cost can be reduced a lot.

Xia Duo suddenly felt that if he stayed in the Mage Tower all the time, he might not be able to save much money.

But think about it, if he were the lord, he wouldn't let people make money in his mage tower, but would search desperately to clean it up!

"Ugh--"

Before the meal was eaten, the wine was finished, and Xia Duo had to go to the whirlpool to scoop up a glass of pure water for dinner. This kind of pure water from the water elemental plane was extremely weak, but it also reminded Xia Duo of life on earth , when the tap is turned on, there is clean water.

In Netheril, perhaps only spellcasters can enjoy such a clean water source. It would be good for ordinary people to drink river water and well water with an earthy smell.

In more cases, even river water and well water cannot be drunk, and rainwater must be used.

The situation in Savile Township is not bad, but those villages are too difficult, and those are the real lives of most ordinary people.

Thinking of such a scene, Xia Duo was full of fighting spirit again, finished his lunch in twos and threes, and started the previous research work again.

Ring 1 [Steam Ray] scroll is Xia Duo's first scroll research and development project. Once it is successful, not only can it be used to sell money, but also there is no need to buy other scroll production methods from the Mage Tower, which saves a lot of money. .

What Xia Duo values ​​most is that completing this project is also a rare accumulation for the development of other spell scrolls and even the creation of new spells.

This is like writing a novel. Completing the experience at one time is a huge gain for the author.
