Lord of Arcane

Chapter 28 Edrich
The first time I came to the library floor, Xia Duo looked around curiously, but there was nothing to see. It was similar to the library before the time-travel, but there were many more single-room transcription rooms and spell laboratories. .

There are more than 20 divisions in the library, but there are not many books in each division, and there are many duplicate books, which may not have as many books as a middle school library before Xiaduo Crossing.

Knowledge is too scarce, and knowledge is too precious.

On the way here, Sammy had introduced the official apprentice named "Edrich" to Shado. He was a businessman and smart since childhood, but he didn't focus on magic, but wanted to become a great businessman.

But even so, he went from an ordinary apprentice to a formal apprentice. After that, he didn't work hard on magic, and he didn't leave. Instead, he stayed in the mage tower by means of a businessman.

The above acquiesced in his attitude towards him.

……

In a transcription room full of goods, Shado met Edrich himself and two ordinary apprentices who were doing odd jobs here.

"Edrich, I have brought you a new customer, you can entertain him, I have to leave beforehand."

"Go, my reputation is recognized."

After sending Sammy away, Edrich turned his attention to Shado, "Mr. Shado, do you need anything? From candles, matches, sewing needles, to magic scrolls, spell books, I have it all."

Edrich is the apprentice that Shado has ever seen in the mage tower without the temperament of a mage, and he really deserves the title of "business apprentice"!

When he said that he was going to sell the opportunity to ask questions, Edrich's eyes suddenly lit up, but when he heard that he could only think of the question from the official apprentice Garner for a while, the ray of light instantly weakened a little, but it was still very good. expect.

"Mr. Chateau, are you really going to sell your questioning opportunities?"

"It's true. Although I'm an official apprentice now, I just joined the Mage Tower. The opportunity to ask questions in a short period of time is not of much use to me. It's a good choice to replace it with the resources I need."

Edrich instantly understood Shado's plan, and asked again, "What about after that?"

"Look at it later. If necessary, it can be sold."

"Okay, okay!" Edrich said repeatedly, and began to rummage through the messy desks in the transcription room. He quickly turned to a ledger, and then said, "Mr. Chateau, the afternoon class is about to start. Can I start trading today?"

"Okay, but can you pay in advance?"

"Yes, but only half of it can be advanced."

Having said this, Edrich remembered that the two of them didn't seem to have talked about the specific price for a question, so they took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Xardo, "This is the reward for a question, usually in the form of a parchment. Payment in the form of gold coins or casting materials, if you have other requirements, you can also ask, but there is no guarantee that someone will accept it."

Xia Duo understands that, as an intermediary, he does not produce anything by himself, but relies on resource integration to earn intermediary fees, but Edrich also sells some goods by himself, which is considered a concurrent operation.

It is recorded on the parchment that a question opportunity can be exchanged for 10 gold coins, or the equivalent casting materials.This is the price at Edrich's place. If Shado contacted him, it would probably exceed 10 gold coins.

But Xia Duo is very satisfied. With such a channel, he doesn't need to waste time on his own. The exchange of gold coins for time is very cost-effective for Xia Duo now.

"Could it be parchment and ink?"

"no problem."

Edrich turned around and counted out a stack of parchment and a small wooden bottle from the pile of goods, and handed it to Chateau, "Half advance is 5 gold coins, ink 3 gold coins, two parchments and 3 silver coins, a total of 14, the more A silver coin is even a discount for the first transaction."

Xia Duo nodded and took it. After that, Edrich picked a question from a ledger for registering questions and told Xia Duo that this was the question he needed to ask in the afternoon.

It's also a question about [Repair], but it's a little different from what Dean asked. This question is about the structural transformation of [Repair] under different materials.

It seems to be a bit of an application-level meaning. Xia Duo speculates that this apprentice should be closer to mastering [Restoration] than Dean, but even if he is only one layer of veil away from the official apprentice, he still does not have the qualifications to ask questions. Find help from others.

Although there was some emotion in his heart, Xia Duo would not do such a stupid thing if he was asked to help others with questions for free.

From this point of view, the Masters seem to be extreme egoists!

I have been in this atmosphere since the apprenticeship stage, and I don't know what the scenery above is, Xia Duo is looking forward to it.

……

With the question conveyed by Edrich, Xado hurriedly left the library floor and returned to the lobby on the first floor. At this time, almost all the people on the first floor were gone, except for the seven or eight apprentices who had class together yesterday. Small talk.

Seeing Xia Duo's arrival, their voices were a little lower, but they didn't say hello to Xia Duo, and they seemed to have excluded Xia Duo from the small circle.

However, Xia Duo didn't care. It was almost impossible for such a small circle to survive. Later, according to the speed of each person's learning progress, it would soon disintegrate. There was no benefit. Who would like to play with the "underachievers".

Xia Duo randomly found an empty seat, took out some of the dictionaries that had been sorted out and began to read and memorize silently, and it was like this until Garner, who was teaching at 12:[-], arrived.

Just like yesterday, today's class does not involve any specific magic knowledge, but builds a magical worldview for apprentices - from the characteristics of magicians, levels, advanced routes, to the understanding of all things mages.

Xia Duo is very interested in such curriculum design. He speculates that if such enlightenment courses are not summed up from long-term practice, then the person who designed these courses must be a wise man.

And a wise man who is good at teaching.

After the class, Shado asked the question that Edrich had explained, and Garnal answered it again, but this time, instead of pointing to a certain book, he directly explained how to do it, and then left.

Shado couldn't understand. He was worried that he had forgotten and couldn't take dinner. He hurried to the library, informed Edrich of Garnar's answer, and got the other half of the reward for this question - a small bottle of ink, 14 piece of parchment, for which he also paid 1 silver coin.

When he left the library, Xado met Dean who came to borrow it, but this time Xado did not forget to re-agreed with Dean about the transaction content.

It went well. Dean didn't have much say. He borrowed the book "The Principles of Geometry in Level 0 Spells" yesterday.

He also needed Chateau's opportunity to ask questions.

The two re-agreed—within this week, Dean had to decipher Nether words for Shado after dinner, including pronunciation and interpretation; Shado would ask Dean again.

A week later, re-appointment.

……

In this way, Xia Duo's days in the Mage's Tower gradually got on the right track - sorting out the dictionary during the day, taking classes in the afternoon and using the opportunity to ask questions, looking for Dean in the evening to decipher the words of the Nether language, and occasionally lighting candles to study after the lights are out.

Little by little, Shado's first week at the Mage's Tower passed.
