Lord of Arcane

Chapter 180 Conscious Curse
On the other side, Xia Duo exhausted his spell casting times, walked out of the spell lab, and threw himself heavily on the bed. After these few days of practice, he has made great progress.

And because of his stronger physical fitness and the longer time he can practice every day, the gap in spellcasting proficiency between him and Gardner is narrowing little by little.

But Xia Duo knew that it was nothing to beat a Ganal, and only by defeating those foreign mages would Satisfy Teacher Niya. In fact, Xia Duo had quite a chance of winning.

That is - drag!

As long as the opponent is unable to cast spells, he can win casually, but this is won on his own physique, not on the skills that the competition really tests.

But just such a retreat, which is not considered a retreat, also made Xia Duo feel a little slack. He lay on the bed and looked at the roof, his thoughts wandering.

There was a voice in his heart urging him—"Get up! You can't do spellcasting training, but you can also study the principles of spells. There are so many things you can do!"

But Xia Duo also clearly realized that as long as he doesn't make waves, his life is unlikely to be in danger, and the sense of crisis earlier has gradually left him.

Laziness is the nature of human beings, and Xia Duo is no exception, but human beings are not only lazy, but also rational. Although the sense of crisis has gradually diminished, the desire to pursue strength and explore the unknown has not diminished.

On the contrary, as Xia Duo's understanding of this magical world increases, it gradually strengthens!
During this period of time, he has been spinning continuously without stopping at all. He is not a robot, and he is indeed a little tired. Looking at the dusty roof, Xia Duo fell asleep.

Waking up again, Xia Duo became refreshed again, and jumped off the bed at once, only to find out after asking Ta Ling that he had slept for almost four hours.

He feels that he is full of energy now, and of course the best state must be reserved for the most important things, and the Olympic Games obviously can't be counted.

After sleeping, Xia Duo found that he took this arcane competition too seriously. In fact, even if he did not perform well, could Niya still kill him?

As long as you don't die, you will eventually come out.

He couldn't let the arcane competition affect his original plan. Of course, he wouldn't let go of spellcasting training either.

……

In order not to lose yourself, it is best to summarize the past and plan for the future every time you pass a stage.

For now, Xia Duo's plan goal is very clear, that is to master the principles of 1st-level spells as soon as possible. During this period, whether it is making money or participating in arcane competitions, this should be the leading factor.

If it obviously affects his plan, he needs to make timely adjustments. It is not advisable to make scrolls all night and practice spellcasting desperately like before.

There are too many factors outside the plan that will affect the execution of the plan, whether it is from the outside world or from your own bad habits.

If you can't always be vigilant and return to the right path in time, then it can only be an illusion to achieve something.

The unity of knowledge and action is the teaching left by our ancestors. Xia Duo never really paid attention to it in the past. It was not until he came to another world that he began to think seriously.

It has to be said that the environment can really change people!

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Duo felt that he was full of energy again, not only his body was restored, but also his mind was guided!

Xia Duo doesn't know if he can always keep his original intention unchanged, but at least at this moment, he has absolute confidence!
……

After learning many 1st-level spells, Xia Duo already had a vague impression of the principles of the spells. Combining with arcane geometry, he rearranged the theory of the 0th-level part and gradually deepened it.

Just as Xia Duo's research on magic was getting better, he suddenly received a message from Ganald, which made Xia Duo frown, but Ganald's tone was very urgent——

"Xia Duo, come here!"

"What happened?"

"I need your help urgently! Come!"

"..."

There are basically no pranks in the mage's tower. After the communication was interrupted, Xia Duo immediately packed up his belongings and left the residence.

However, the location Gardner told was not at his residence, but in the library!

As the only two apprentices under the same mentor, Ganal's "help calls" all came to Xia Duo, so he naturally couldn't ignore them.

But if Ganal plays a prank, Xia Duo will also let him know the power of Ruthless Iron Fist!

……

On the library floor, as soon as Xia Duo stepped out of the elevator, he saw Gardner with a nervous expression, standing at the door of a magic laboratory and looking around. The moment he saw Xia Duo, he greeted with a suppressed voice:
"Xia Duo, this way!"

Xia Duo was not affected by his emotions, but walked over calmly and asked, "What's going on? Are you sneaking around?"

"Come in first!" Ganal pulled Xia Duo, but he didn't pull it after a while, so he looked at Xia Duo with some embarrassment.

Ugh--

Xia Duo followed him to the magic laboratory, and there was another person inside—an apprentice with "Mombo" written on his clothes!
Seeing Xia Duo and Ganal coming in, Mengbo was about to step forward to speak, but he seemed to be afraid of something, so he took a step back instead, "Ganal, don't come over!"

"Meng Bo, don't be afraid, this is Xia Duo, he is much better than me, there must be a way!"

Xia Duo looked at this scene, not knowing why, he looked at Ganal, a little impatiently, "Ganal, let's talk now, what's going on?"

"Mombo took over the task of the territory, and it was a routine patrol on the edge of the Green Pearl Forest. He—"

"Get to the point!" Xia Duo directly interrupted Ganal who wanted to make a long speech.

"Cursed on him!"

"If you are cursed, go to the temple. What's the use of coming to me?"

Ganal looked puzzled, glanced at Mombo, did not speak directly, but told Xia Duo through [Messaging Technique]——

"I've already been to the temple, but [Remove Curse] has not taken effect. Mengbo still doesn't know that the lord is casting a 3-ring divine spell."

Xia Duo also sent a message, "Who is he to you?"

"He is my own brother." Ganal looked sad, "We have similar talents, but in order for me to be promoted smoothly, he gave me all his income, and I must save him."

Ugh--

Xia sighed, he knew that Ganal would not have looked for him if he had no choice but to think that even the 3rd ring magic spell could not save him, so what can he do as a newly promoted mage?

Glancing at Meng Bo, who was dodging his eyes, Xia Duo asked, "What is the curse?"

Ganal was overjoyed, knowing that Xia Duo agreed to help, he quickly said: "It's not directly fatal, but it's also very serious. Mompo, lift up your clothes!"

Mengbo lifted his clothes, revealing the fat on his stomach, and an ordinary, weed-like plant grew out of his belly button.

Following Mengbo's movements, the stems and leaves of this unknown plant swayed strangely, as if greeting someone.

Xia Duo entered the spell-casting state and observed the plant from a magical perspective. The plant itself was indeed a real plant, but its root seemed to be connected to a magic seed.

Or "cursed seeds".

It rises and shrinks, like an unknown life breathing, with the seeds as the core, the magic net is densely intertwined.
