Lord of Arcane

Chapter 265 Advanced Failure
Xia Duo focused on the task of purchasing magic items. Other tasks such as duty, inspection, investigation, and sundries were not suitable for him, but he just looked at it and did not accept the task.

After all, magic items can be regarded as hard currency, and they can be sold at any time. He just came to see which items were in high demand, and then he could make them in a targeted manner.

Back at the residence, Xia Duo quickly flipped through the two books he borrowed just now, and after he had a general impression in his mind, he continued to copy them.

What he copied was "[Levitation Art] From Beginning to Mastery" written by Lord Epps. As for the other spell book, Xia Duo didn't plan to copy it, or he didn't want to copy it now.

The content in it is relatively simple for today's Xia Duo. After a little research, you can make the arcane geometry analysis diagram of [Feather Fall].

However, the book written by Lord Epps is a bit difficult, and Xia Duo can only copy it down first, after all, the rent of 150 gold coins a day is not cheap.

……

Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower at noon, and it was also Niya who contacted him at that time. Niya didn't reply to him until evening.

At this time, Xia Duo's book copying work was almost half completed.

Niya asked him to meet in the lord's study on the top floor. Xia Duo didn't dare to delay, and quickly packed up the personal belongings in the residence, mainly the spell books copied before, notes taken during the research process, and some sundries.

Of course, the most important and most valuable thing is the [scepter of spiritual protection], and the golden paper document that proves the identity of the pioneer.

When we came to the top floor, it was still the room where we met last time, but the light in the room today was much darker than before for some reason, Xia Duo suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Because there was not enough light in the room, he could only see Niya leaning on the back of the chair at the moment, and the shadow enveloped her, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.

The atmosphere seems a little weird!
Xia Duo kept muttering in his heart, and didn't dare to get too close to Nya's desk, but just bowed respectfully:
"Teacher, here I come!"

"Yeah." Niya's voice was a little hoarse, and there was no emotion in her tone, only revealing deep tiredness, "Find a place to sit down, why don't you contact me in advance this time?"

Ordinary greetings were the same as in the past, Xia Duo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "There are a lot of things happening in the territory recently, I have forgotten it too soon, I will definitely do it next time."

As soon as the words were spoken, Xia Duo immediately realized that his mentor, Niya, seemed to have taken over the territory, and it was a bit fake to preside over the territory in front of her with busy affairs.

Fortunately, Niya just asked casually, and didn't delve into it further. She still said in a tired voice: "If you have any questions, just ask!"

In Niya's state, Xia Duo couldn't say what he wanted to report on the fan lock, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask a question encountered in the research of the [Flying Seat], and then made an excuse to leave.

Just as he was leaving the house, Xia Duo ran into Eboke. He originally thought that Eboke was looking for Niya, and after asking a salute, he prepared to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, Eboke stopped him, "I'm not here to find Niya, I'm here to wait for you."

"wait for me?"

According to common sense, Eboke has almost no intersection with him, one has advanced to become an arcanist, and the other is only a junior mage on the surface.

Why did you wait here for him?
Xia Duo was very puzzled, "May I ask what you want from me?"

Eberke didn't answer right away, he glanced at Niya's room pityingly first, and then explained why he came, "Niya just tried to become an advanced Arcanist, but failed, don't bother her these few days! "

"What?!" Xia Duo couldn't believe his ears, "Lord Eberke, you mean that the instructor has already tried to advance to an arcanist?"

Eboke gave an affirmative answer, and said: "Failure to advance will affect the spiritual will of the caster, and she needs to rest. Don't disturb her!"

Xia Duo was moved, not only because Nya was about to become an arcanist, but also because Nya was "ill" answering her questions, which was beyond the normal relationship between a mentor and an apprentice.

"Yes, I will pay attention." Xia Duo quickly agreed, "Master Abuke, when will the teacher recover?"

Xia Duo's tone was full of sincerity, he really hoped that Niya could recover as soon as possible, but Eboke gave him a deep look, and finally said: "Come again in three days."

"Yes."

……

"[Naishi Scroll] Ah!"

On the way back, Xia Duo couldn't help sighing. He had already thought of it. There must be a reason why Niya could accumulate to an advanced arcanist so quickly, except for [Neither Scroll].

More than a month ago, after the arcane competition ended, Lord Epps announced that Niya was the heir. At that time, Niya's spellcasting level was level 8.

To advance from a mage to an arcanist, one must be at least a level 10 mage. In other words, an arcanist must be a high-level mage at the very least, and it took Niya just over a month to upgrade two levels, which is faster than flying.

If she really succeeds in advancing this time, then an arcanist in her early 20s will definitely cause quite a stir in Sevington.

This is not a proud student taught by a great arcanist, but just a little mage in a remote area.

Pity!I don't know when it will be the next time I want to advance!

Currently, Xia Duo knows that there are two conditions for an advanced arcanist, one is a spellcasting level of at least level 10, and the other is proficiency in advanced arcane geometry.

This is also what Niya told him before. Proficiency in intermediate arcane geometry before intermediate level and advanced arcane geometry before high level are almost the only way for every arcanist.

In addition to these, there must be other conditions, otherwise arcanists would not be so rare. Among the No. 30 official mages in Tower of Time [-], only Eberke is an arcanist, not even a lord.

Xia Duo also wants to become an arcanist, but he doesn't regret the deal with Lord Epps. Reading the [Nather Scroll] requires a human being. Ordinary people and mages will gain different results.

Niya can try to become an advanced arcanist after reading [Naishi Scroll], but Xia Duo may not be able to read it. Anyway, as long as she doesn't die, she can always see it in the future.

Back at the residence, Xia Duo continued to copy books and did not rest until late at night.

……

On the second day, Xia Duo first continued to copy the part that was not finished yesterday, and then began to study [Feather Fall], and made a preliminary attempt with the help of the spell laboratory environment.

Before noon, Xia Duo drew the arcane geometry analysis diagram of [Feather Fall], and successfully cast the spell once. After that, he only needs a lot of practice to master it proficiently.

Of course, he has also conducted a simple test on the actual effect of this spell, but he can only say that it is not obvious, and it is very inconsistent with Xia Duo's expectations.

Perhaps the effect of jumping from a very high place would be better, but he couldn't try that.
