Lord of Arcane

Chapter 172 Proposed Apprenticeship Competition
The interior of the Tower of Time has also been affected, and Xia Duo is one of them. He is entertaining Edric and others who came after hearing the news in the living room of his residence!

At this time, Xia Duo has completed the transformation of [Steam Ray], and the production of the magic scroll is only a matter of the specific drawing process.

He originally planned to start the trial production of the [Steam Ray] scroll in the afternoon, but he didn't expect Edrich, Dean, Sammy, and Devine to "skip class" and come to him.

"So, you skipped class just to know if I was going to participate in the arcane competition?" Xia Duo said angrily, "Yes, I want to participate!"

Such a question, you can send a message to ask, and go there in person, how free are they!
"Xia Duo, I heard that in the arcane competition held in the territory this time, as long as you participate, there will be rewards, and the top three will each get at least one magic item."

Edric who said this was full of envy on his face, wishing he could become an official mage immediately and then participate in the competition.

The other three, apart from Devine, who has become unpredictable because of his beliefs, Dean and Sammy also showed envious expressions. Dean even exaggeratedly said that if there is an apprenticeship competition, he will definitely participate and he can win the championship .

However, this also aroused the dissatisfaction of Edric and Sami. Although they are quite close now, when it comes to the affirmation of their abilities, they are not willing to give in to each other.

Only Devine sat aside, looked at the noisy three people with a smile, and did not participate.

As for Xia Duo, when the three of them quarreled, they had already taken out the "Dasriel's Extreme Armor" borrowed from the library.

The name looks quite tall, and it even borrowed the name of the archmage Dasriel, but in fact, it is a magical treatise on the 1st-level spell [Mage Armor].

There is very little content, but the most important thing is that it gives a relatively complete spell structure of [Spell Armor], as well as all key elements.

"As long as the elementary mages are basic qualified, they can learn [Mage Armor] through this book." Of course, this sentence is not what Xia Duo said, but directly written in "Dasriel's Ultimate Armor" on the cover of this book.

It seems that the author is very confident about his book, but when Xia Duo actually read the contents, he realized that the advertisement is just an advertisement after all.

In other words, the author overestimates the so-called basic qualified mages too much. Even someone like Xia Duo who fully understands the principles and essence of magic finds it difficult to read this book.

Others probably struggled even more.

It would be great if he had the right to exchange the 1-level spell learning scroll, but unfortunately he hasn't saved enough, and even if he has enough, he will not exchange the magic that has already borrowed the book.

While listening to the noise of Edric and the others, Xia Duo studied [Mage Armor]. After a while, they finally reached a result.

"You let me be the first, and I will reward you." The only person who can say this is Edric, who is not short of money.

And Sami and Dean also quickly discussed the division plan, showing satisfied smiles.

"Hahaha——" Xia Duo couldn't bear it anymore, and it took so long to argue about a completely invisible matter, "Edrich, Sammy, Dean, where is the apprentice competition you are talking about?"

"Of course it is, in—" Edric was stunned, they said before that if there is an apprenticeship competition, if!But not really.

Edric was a little mad, "Ah—Dean, it's all your fault."

And Dean and Sami are also a little embarrassed, but there is an indescribable ease. Perhaps only when they are with these companions can they quarrel without scruples.

Seeing that these people were noisy but not angry, Xia Duo knew that although the study group had been disbanded, the organization was still functioning well.

It is inevitable that I feel a little proud in my heart. Although he has only changed a small group of people, the impact in the future is not certain.Thinking of this, he couldn't help pushing a little——

"Edrich, Dean, don't be disappointed. I think you can organize an apprenticeship competition yourself. Anyone who agrees with the organization's philosophy can participate. As for rewards, I will provide each of the top five with an original 0-ring spell How about learning scrolls?"

"Apprentice competition? We organize it ourselves?" The three of Edric exclaimed almost at the same time, and even Devine, who seemed very calm, showed a look of surprise.

"Xia Duo, can we really do it? I mean, won't the Mage Tower stop it?" Dean was very excited, but he also hesitated.

"Stop it? Why stop it? This is an apprentice voluntarily responding to the arcane competition in the territory, which is a good thing!" Xia Duo said with certainty.

From the day when his authority was raised, Xia Duo understood that there were almost no apprentices in the eyes of the upper layers of the mage tower, and the real apprentices should be elementary mages.

Apprentices like Edric and Dean actually have a more appropriate title, that is - servant.

In fact, dozens of new apprentices join the Mage Tower every year, but at the same time, some people leave. Only the official mages can really stay for a long time.

It's really "an iron mage tower, flowing apprentices", it's just an apprenticeship competition, it's not a big problem.

"I think it should be possible to hold an apprenticeship competition. Edric, you have a relationship in this regard, you can inquire about it from the side, and if it is really risky, consider other forms."

Although Xia Duo is sure, he is only a new mage after all, and he has not even joined the mage tower for a year. For some things, it is better to be safe.

"No problem!" Edric immediately agreed, "I can ask Uncle Xiore, he is a middle-level mage, and he should know if there is any taboo in it."

The two settled the matter in a few words, and Dean and Sami were taken aback for a while, but they also quickly realized that if there was an apprenticeship competition, the top four would probably be All four of them did it.

They have already begun to look forward to what Xia Duo said about the original spell.

Afterwards, several people discussed with Xia Duo about the details of the apprentice competition, and they didn't leave until the dinner Xia Duo had reserved arrived.

……

After dinner, Xia Duo continued the trial production of the [Steam Ray] scroll that was interrupted before. Starting from the first scroll, special ink must be used.

Xia Duo hasn't bought new ink yet, only the two bottles of red graphite water that he gave when he bought the scroll before. This kind of ink is a relatively common ink used in the production of low-level magic scrolls.

It's called red stone, but it actually just contains a substance called "red stone powder". The ink itself is still black, and Xia Duo doesn't know much about ink.

I only know that unless it is some special spells, all the first-level spells can be made into scrolls with this red graphite water.

　I recommend a fantasy novel "The Little Lord of Riding and Slashing", friends who like riding and hacking can read it.
