Lord of Arcane

Chapter 34: Exchange Scrolls with Gold for Penalty
On the first day of entering the Mage Tower, Xado asked Taling about the rules of the Mage Tower, one of which was that loud noises were not allowed in the library, because the transcription room was not soundproof.

The people who read and copy books there most need a quiet environment, and now—

Sure enough, several apprentices had already rushed out of the transcription room full of anger. The mages were good at focusing, but that didn't mean they liked noise pollution.

Xia Duo saw that one of them was running towards the administrator, and the others were surrounding him, as if they were preparing to do something.

But just when Xia Duo was about to see if there would be a fight, two white lights flashed, the furious man disappeared, and another white light appeared in another group of people.

"what happened?"

"Knowles triggered the ban!"

"Nols is ready to release [Tremor Shock]!"

"Poor Knowles, I don't see him going bankrupt until the end of the month!"

"Ha ha!"

……

After whispering for a while, the apprentices dispersed and returned to the transcription room.

The library was quite quiet after the furious brother was gone. Xia Duo clearly heard the complaints not far away, and he knew what punishment the two formal apprentices who disappeared would get.

Fine!

This result made Xia Duo shocked and angry. This kind of rule of paying the penalty with gold coins is really realistic. If Xia Duo is rich, of course he is very happy, but he is not.

Fortunately, most mages are rational and orderly. As long as there is no conflict of interest, it will not affect Xia Duo.

But this feeling of pinning one's own safety on the rationality of others is really unpleasant. Besides, God knows if there will be any unwarranted disaster on Xia Duo's head, such as being affected by an out-of-control experiment or the like.

In the final analysis, the order here is different from the original Earth, and Xado himself is not strong enough.

……

Leaving the library floor in a hurry, Xado did not return to the dormitory, but came to the public floor. He was about to exchange a magic scroll. When he registered, Master Leonard mentioned giving him 10 exchange of 0-ring magic scrolls. permissions.

Before, Xia Duo didn't exchange it because he didn't know much about magic, but now, he just asked Colin in the afternoon, as long as he learns the skills of [Reading Magic], even if the spell recognition is not enough, he can still use the learning scroll or unencrypted Spellbooks are self-taught.

As for how to practice, Dean had just shown him.

When he thought that he could get the magic scroll right away and start self-study, Xia Duo's heart was extremely hot, and he finally began to master the power.

Although he knew in his heart that learning from scrolls was always just a poor imitation, he might not be able to understand why it was such a structure, and what the principles and rules between different structures were.

The gap between having a scroll and not having a scroll is huge. If Dean had a [Restoration] learning scroll, he might have become a formal apprentice long ago.

But learning scrolls must first become a formal apprentice before they can be redeemed. This kind of regulation similar to Catch 22 forces almost all apprentices to be geniuses.

Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to become a full-fledged apprentice, you may not know how far you can go in the future.

Generally, after three years, most of them give up.

It is definitely not a small advantage that Xia Duo can obtain the learning scroll at the beginning of the school.

……

Public Floor, No. 6 Material Application Office.

By asking Taring, Xia Duo determined this material application office, which is next to the elevator on the public floor, but it was not the elevator Xia Duo usually used, and he had never noticed it before.

The first time I came here, I was a little nervous, because this application area is dedicated to the collection or purchase of finished products such as magic equipment, scrolls, and potions.

Inside was a formal mage and a formal apprentice. When Xia Duo came in, the two were counting the supplies. When Xia Duo came in, the apprentice immediately asked:

"Apprentice Xado? Didn't you come here often? Is it a scroll or a potion? How much is 10 gold coins for the scroll and 20 gold coins for the potion?"

Xia Duo didn't quite understand what he meant, and quickly said his intention, "I want to exchange a learning scroll."

"what--"

The official mage let out a surprise and turned his head, "Are you the apprentice that Mage Leonard brought back?"

"it's me."

Xia Duo was a little terrified. He didn't want any relationship with the official mage. For him now, the most hope is to be a little transparent, and no one should pay attention to him.

Especially the official mage, whether it is good or bad, he, a newcomer who has just entered the magic field, can't bear it.

"Don't worry, I just asked casually. I heard that Mage Leonard was sent out by the lord to perform a mission. I didn't expect to bring back an apprentice and exchange permission. I'm a little curious."

The gentler the mage's attitude, the more frightened Xia Duo was, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "I'm just an ordinary person, and mage Leonard just brought me back along the way."

Xia Duo's words are not a lie, he was indeed brought back by the way, but there is no need to talk about the transaction between Mu Yan and Leonard.

Seeing Xia Duo's restrained appearance, the Master did not go further, but mentioned Xia Duo's purpose, "Tell me, what scrolls are you going to exchange?"

"A [Brightening Technique] learning scroll." Xado answered quickly.

This was what he had already thought about before he came. Although he really wanted to learn an offensive spell, he was a beginner, and he was self-taught, so he had to take risks into account.

The Spell Lab is not omnipotent either. Shado still has no idea what will happen if the offensive spell goes out of control.

It's better to start with [Lighting Technique], he asked Dean, [Lighting Technique] is one of the easiest spells for apprentices to master.

After listening to Xia Duo's request, the official mage moved his lips, as if he was communicating with Taring, but soon after confirming Xia Duo's authority, he turned around and took out a scroll from the shelf behind him and gave it to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo hurriedly took over the learning scroll, and at the same time, a familiar hollow mechanical voice sounded in his ears, "Apprentice Xia Duo, exchange for a [Brightness] learning scroll, exchange authority -1."

Looking at the other two people in the room, the apprentice had already started to count the supplies, while the mage looked at Xia Duo kindly.

"Have you heard Taring's prompt?"

"Ah."

"The transaction is complete. Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't be too addicted to the effects of spells. The principles and rules contained in it are the real knowledge, which is what our mages pursue."

Seemingly seeing Xia Duo's thirst for power, the mage even mentioned Xia Duo.

"Yes, I will remember, thank you, Master Mage."

"Don't call me Master Mage. In front of the truth, we are all apprentices. I am Jose. If you are interested in taking Elvish language, you can choose my class."

"Yes."

"Go out."

Xia Duo was granted amnesty and quickly left the material application office. Although the Jose Mage gave him a good impression, as long as he thought that the other party was an official Mage who could easily kill him if he wanted to, Xia Duo would not be able to give birth. any kind of closeness.

Or he is too weak, not only weak in strength, but also weak in knowledge, as long as there is a strong one, he can rely on it to a certain extent, not a dispensable apprentice like now.

However, Master Jose's advice Xia Duo still remembered. This is actually his original intention, but it is also necessary to obtain the power to protect himself in the early stage. Xia Duo has his own plan and will not be easily shaken.
