Lord of Arcane

Chapter 264 A Series of Spells of the Same Strain
Although he has great confidence that the Tower of Time will not kill him, but after all, it involves his own life, and no one can take it lightly.

At this moment, he seems to have returned to the time when he just crossed over, fearful, worrying about gains and losses, for fear that someone would suddenly jump out of the street and hack him to death.

Looking at the [Blade of Negation] and the mysterious magic arrow in the portable space, Xia Duo seems to have gained a little more confidence, but this kind of confidence that comes from the unknown is not safe after all.

Xia Duo saved only two upgraded 2rd-level [Mage Armor] from the magic net storage spell, and replaced all the others with 3rd-level [Magic Missile].

Five bursts of face-smearing, even a high-level mage can't ignore it.

He is now a middle-level mage, and he has some speculations about the abilities of a high-level mage. In addition to at least double the total rings of his magic net storage spells, there are also uncertain magic items.

Compared to the former, Xia Duo is more worried about the latter, especially since the Tower of Time is the inheritance of the Grand Arcanist, and God knows how many high-level goods exist.

But it was also because of this that Xia Duo dared to go back. If it was replaced by a mage tower with insufficient background, or a high-level mage who was lonely, then Xia Duo would run away.

Judging from everything he observed in Savile Territory and the Tower of Time, Lord Epps should be credible. After all, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, but Xia Duo is giving benefits to his door.

After sorting out all kinds of thoughts, Xia Duo's mood gradually calmed down. He took out his spell notes and continued to study [Flying Chair].

Although it is unlikely to be researched in a short period of time, this is not a reason to relax.

……

Two days later, Xia Duo set foot on the land of Savile Port.

He had blurred the concept of time in a place far away from human habitation like Da Xia Ling, and he didn't feel much when he was there, but as soon as he returned to Savile Town, he was greeted with lively atmosphere.

Not only has there been more people, but also the Midsummer Festival is approaching. If you ignore the more than a year in the projection plane, Xia Duo has been on the path of a mage for nearly a year.

It was after the Midsummer Festival last year that he joined the Tower of Time. Although he was just an apprentice like a handyman at the time, he has now become a middle-level mage with powerful power.

What happened in the past year flashed through Xia Duo's mind like a fleeting image——

Magic enlightenment class, asking middlemen, recruiting small circles, first killing, gaining honor, becoming an official mage, arcane competition, opening up territories, journeying to the astral world, until now.

Although he didn't take part in any earth-shattering events, he had a very exciting time, and it was not in vain to time travel.

……

At the port, Xia Duo ordered old Owen to take Dong Zhi to buy a dog, and asked him to meet with a few people from the cooperative chamber of commerce to discuss matters, and arranged everything as if there was no crisis at all.

Before coming back this time, he didn't contact Niya first, and he took out the communication magic weapon to start contacting when he returned to the Tower of Time.

"Mentor, are you free? I have a very important matter to report."

The message was sent, but Niya didn't reply immediately. Naturally, Xia Duo couldn't fall in love with his head, and died holding the communication magic weapon.

While waiting for Niya's reply, Xia Duo went to the library. He remembered that there was a spell book about [Levitation] in the library.

Level 0 [Mage's Hand], Level 1 [Feather Fall], Level 2 [Levitation], Level 3 [Flying], these four spells belong to a series of spells in the transformation system, which can change the gravity state of objects .

It's just that Xia Duo has only learned [Hand of the Mage].

Because the time to become an official mage is too short, coupled with the limitation of the number of times of casting spells per day, Xia Duo's accumulation of spells is very limited, and he can only choose the range of spells to study according to his needs.

The use of [Feather Fall] is too small, even now, Xia Duo has no chance to use it, so what do you learn it for?

Might as well learn something more useful.

As for [Levitation Art], Xia Duo only came into contact with the second layer of magic net in the arcane competition, excluding the time in the projection plane, it has only been more than a month.

He basically didn't touch this kind of uncommon spell.

And for more than a year in the projection plane, Xia Duo didn't have the Tower of Time by his side, so he could only study on his own based on what he had learned and some elven magic.

Of course, the more important thing is to consolidate the lack of strength brought about by rapid upgrades.

In fact, Xia Duo, an intermediate-level mage, is actually very poor. He may be called an elementary-level mage with a solid theoretical foundation. He still needs a lot of spells to enrich himself.

It can be said that the time in the projected plane is really important to him, which is equivalent to allowing him to go back in time through time.

Or let him become an intermediate mage in the future, covering the present.

However, since he can use the projected plane in this way, others can certainly. The real magical world has too many secrets, which cannot be covered by some game data on the earth.

Maybe some genius mages are created in this way, gaining experience on the projection plane - upgrading the main plane - gaining experience on the projection plane, and so on.

Of course, this is just his guess. Maybe there are people who are born smart, and upgrading is as easy as drinking water for them.

For that kind of person, Xia Duo can only say, envy, envy and hate!
……

"[Feather Fall Technique] Summary of Spellcasting Practice", written by Tower of Time Level 8 Mage Depak, 50 gold coins a day.

"[Levitation Technique] From Beginner to Master", written by Epps, a level 12 mage of the Tower of Time, 150 gold coins a day.

After borrowing these two books, Xia Duo was told by the mage on duty that with his current authority, there were only two books that could be borrowed.

That is to say, Xia Duo can still borrow two books from the library, and if he wants to borrow more later, he has to go to the task of the mage tower.

Whether it's on duty, or selling scrolls, potions, etc., as long as the task management office has it, you can pick it up.The only thing that is more gratifying is that Xia Duo belongs to the sequence directly under the Tower of Time, and there are fewer tasks to be completed.

And for those affiliated sequences like Ke Qing, if you want to increase the number of books that can be borrowed, you need to complete at least twice as many tasks as him.

"I see, thank you Master Veblen for your reminder."

Xia Duo took two spell books and left the library with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Gah, fuck the fuck!"

But Veblen's reminder, Xia Duo still took it to heart. The junior mage expressed his favor, and Xia Duo was also willing to accept it. Since the Arcane Games, he has met many people like Veblen. .

It's just that Xia Duo also knows that the object of their favor is actually the "pioneer" second, and the main object is "Niya's apprentice".

……

Before returning to his residence, Xia Duo went to the task management office on the public floor. In addition to some routine duties, inspections, investigations, and sales of magic items, the tasks there also included development tasks.

For example, this article, [The town hall recruits 5 junior mages, who need to be proficient in the following spells... Priority is given to those with certain investigative experience, the mission lasts for one week, and the reward is 100 gold coins per person. 】

Of course, there are also intermediate-level mages who need 500 gold coins and a week, but only two are needed. The task is to supervise the mages from other places.

After the last arcane competition, Savileland recruited many foreign mages in order to open up new territories. Xia Duo was deeply impressed by this. The apprentice who brought him food before was teased and injured by outsiders with spells.

Later, after the development began, those foreign mages left the mage tower, and the mage tower was considered to have returned to its former peace.

　Just now my friend told me that the protagonist should not be called Xia Duo, but Sharp, which is more suitable for Dong Zhi. . .

I can't even look at the name.

"Dongzhi" actually refers to the dead branches in winter. The winter branches are very thin, like dead branches in winter. .
