Lord of Arcane

Chapter 236 Question and Answer Invitation

The first thing I did when I returned to the Mage Tower was to see my mentor. After more than ten days, I saw Niya again in the study on the top floor of the Tower of Time.

But Lord Epps has disappeared. Xia Duo has just returned, and he doesn't know much about the Mage Tower, but it seems that Niya has really taken over the territory.

"Mentor." Xia Duo saluted respectfully.

"Well, find a place to sit by yourself, I have something to do here." Niya continued to focus on the paperwork on the desk without raising her head.

Xia Duo looked around, and there was only a place to sit by the window on the left, so he was not polite, and sat directly on the elf-style chair that was very valuable at first glance.

There are backrests and cushions, which fit his back perfectly, and it feels like being in the clouds when sitting on it. Suddenly, Xia Duo realized that he really treated himself too badly after traveling for so long.

After all, the only thing he had related to comfort was a mithril pen, and it was a gift for buying a magic scroll.

Of course [Summon Mount] is also very comfortable to sit on, but it is only a transport spell after all.

If the price of reaching the pinnacle of magic is that he treats himself harshly and cannot enjoy it for a lifetime, then he would rather not reach the pinnacle for the rest of his life.

The most direct purpose of his learning magic is to make his life better. All truths and mysteries are false.

Maybe in the future he will embark on the path of seeking truth, mystery, or something else, but that is the self-actualization need in the so-called hierarchy of needs theory.

And now—just like the concept of the free kingdom in Xia Duo's hometown, the consciousness at the initial stage is always limited!

……

While waiting for Niya to finish handling the affairs at hand, Xia Duo dug out his notes, sorted out and reviewed all the doubts that had arisen in the past ten days, and at the same time observed Niya carefully.

Perhaps because she has already started to take over the territory, Niya's originally delicate and gentle face is now a little sharper, and her short black hair, which was originally loose, is also tied up at this moment.

If you deliberately ignore the magic robe on her body, then Niya will look like a capable urban white-collar worker, her youthfulness will fade away, and she will become more mature.

Xia Duo couldn't help but compare Niya with Mrs. Patty. Mrs. Patty is slightly older in terms of age, and Niya is more beautiful in terms of appearance.

In terms of temperament, Xia Duo felt that Mrs. Patty might be better. Perhaps the confidence derived from magical power was not as good as Niya, but her spiritual will was exceptionally firm.

But Nia is still growing, and Mrs. Patty may be.

Just as he was imagining what Nya would look like in the future, Xia Duo was awakened by a sudden "click" sound, and when he looked up, Nya was staring at him with her hands on the desk!

Xia Duo was startled, and quickly got up, "Mentor."

"Sit down, ask any questions quickly, I have an important experiment to do later, or I will have to wait until tomorrow."

It seemed that Niya didn't notice his strangeness, Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief, and began to ask questions.

He believed what Niya said about an important experiment. After all, any mage could cast spells every day for a limited number of times.

Many mentors choose to squeeze the apprentices and use apprentices instead of casting spells. For the time being, Niya has not had such a tendency, and Xia Duo is very fortunate.

The two asked and answered, and there were occasional delays. Time quickly passed in this highly concentrated teaching. It was not until Ta Ling reminded that Xia Duo realized that it was already night.

"Teacher, I will come over tomorrow to ask for advice."

"En." Niya waved her hand, Ren Xiaduo left, and she got up and left after a while.

……

Back at his residence in the Mage Tower, Xia Duo looked around.After leaving for more than ten days, the state inside hardly changed.

The water glass left on the desk when he left, and the wool fiber caught in the mouth of the box are still in their original positions.Stretch out a finger and drag it on the table, and look again, there is already a touch of fine dust on the finger.

Niya wanted to conduct spell experiments, and so did Xia Duo. Many ideas accumulated before needed to be verified one by one. There was no magic laboratory in the wild, so he didn't dare to do it casually.

The deeper the layer of contact with the magic net, the deeper the backlash after the spell fails, and the higher the level, the more you need a spell laboratory that can calm the magic net.

The spells that Xia Duo is currently experimenting with are all level 2 spells. Some of them are deliberate and need to be tested, while some are just to satisfy his own curiosity and see what will happen if he does so.

The former may be tried carefully outside, but the latter, without a magic laboratory, is really looking for death.

……

The next day, Xia Duo came to the materials application office and disposed of the dozen or so scrolls that had been brought into the fan lock before, and only got 100 gold coins in exchange.

Fortunately, there is only a problem with the self-produced consumables such as the magic scroll. If the focus ring is damaged, there is no place to cry, and I don’t know if Lord Epps will include repairs~
Leaving the materials application office, Xia Duo returned to the library, where he was charging while waiting for Niya's call.

Soon, Xia Duo received a reminder from Taling that Niya was free.

But even if she was free, she still waited for a while before answering questions as yesterday, but after answering the questions, Niya left Xia Duo to talk about another matter.

At the beginning, Niya was still a little shy, and after a long time she said, "Can you accompany me to the Austrian Law Federation next month?"

Austrian Federation?Xia Duo didn't react for a while, but when he saw Niya's expectant and evasive eyes, he immediately thought of - [Neither Scroll].

Xia Duo was quite emotional, but after all, it was a deal between you and me. He was not prepared, and he had no ability to go back on his word. He immediately responded: "This month is coming to the end, next time I come, I will go with my tutor!"

"Well, thank you." Niya whispered, then changed the subject and asked Xia Duo again, "How is your development plan going? Do you need help?"

"It's going well. If I need help from my mentor, I will definitely say it."

In fact, Xia Duo is unwilling to ask for anything from Niya. If you ask for more, the favor will be less. He is more willing to get some hidden benefits, such as answering his questions more attentively and reminding him to wait at critical moments.

It would be inferior to directly asking for benefits. It is better to manage personal relationships, which is much better than casually asking for personnel and materials.

……

After leaving the lord's study, Xia Duo did not return to his residence, but left the Mage Tower overnight, and went to the Liaton Chamber of Commerce to inquire about the supplies on the "Lucky Owen".

The whole day today, and half a day yesterday was the loading time. In addition to carrying Xia Duo back, this trip is more important to replenish tools.

Now there are nearly a hundred people in Daxia's collar, and they need a lot of tools, especially the [long saw] that Xia Duo emphasized.

After all, there are only a few shrubs in the forest, and most of them are trees.Moreover, in the undeveloped virgin forest, the trees are luxuriant, and many trees have grown for many years. It is too inefficient to clean them only with axes and machetes!

[Long saw] is not cheap, and even needs to be customized.
