Lord of Arcane

Chapter 37
A white light flashed, Xia Duo's eyes flashed, and he found himself at the entrance of the spell laboratory.Xia Duo took a deep breath, he finally knew what the grumpy old man was yesterday.

He was also very irritable at this time, and he might be able to successfully cast the [Brightening Technique] right away, but at this critical moment, Taring actually threw him out!
Xia Duo was so angry that he wanted to curse, but when he thought of the two lonely gold coins in his pocket, he immediately calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Duo returned to the dormitory, but he did not expect an unexpected person waiting at his door——

It's Neil.

Xia Duo's feelings towards little Neil are very complicated. Not only is he friendly with him for the past six months, and he is grateful for his active teaching of Nise, but at the same time, what old Neil does also makes Xia Duo angry.

——Life is sincere and precious, and love is more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.

In the eyes of modern people, the most precious thing in the world is freedom. Old Neil actually wanted to enslave him with outsiders, and even took action. How could Xia Duo not be angry, how could he not want to kill him and then hurry up.

After joining the Mage Tower for so long, Xia Duo and Little Neil have chosen the same courses and see each other every day, but Xia Duo never took the initiative to ask him to say a word, and Little Neil seems to be avoiding Xia Duo. .

Obviously, little Neil knew something about his father's actions, but he didn't explain a word to Xia Duo. Even if he just explained one sentence, Xia Duo would not be so indifferent.

"Step aside!"

"Xia Duo - I want to learn Naise script with you." Little Neil's face was stunned, his head was buried very low, and his voice was very low. If it wasn't for the quiet environment in the dormitory area, Xia Duo could hardly hear it.

"Hehe, didn't Old Neil teach you how to do it when you came?"

"Teached, but I have run out of gold coins." Little Neil's voice became more subtle.

Ah--

Xia Duo sneered in his heart, and came to him when he ran out of gold coins. Is he really regarded as a slave?I was very disappointed with Little Neil's performance, and was not interested in talking to him anymore.

Push him open to enter.

Little Neil hurriedly grabbed Xia Duo's sleeve, "Xia Duo, I even taught you to be sensual!"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Duo frowned, and the only trace of affection in his heart dissipated, "Leave, and finally give you a suggestion, go to the library No. 25 transcription room to find Edrich."

After speaking, he forcibly pulled Neil's hand away, pushed him away, walked into the dormitory, and closed the door.

Xia Duo did not regret his decision, but because he was in another world, his decision was always carefully considered.He and little Neil may have gotten along very well, but to say how good the relationship really is, it's not necessarily.

Just came to an unfamiliar world, Xia Duo can only be very friendly in order to protect himself, and even deliberately let everyone think that he is a very kind person.

To be honest, Xia Duo's truest thought is that the hearts of those who are not of our race must be different.

It's just that he has acted a lot, and he will also set his own limits. Today's performance of Little Neil completely made Xia Duo see his heart clearly.

……

Because the previous spell practice was interrupted, and after such a terrible thing as Little Neil, Xia Duo did not continue to study spells, but began to read the biography of the archmage to deepen his understanding and memory of Nise's words.

The next day, the Arcane Garden started a new round of sowing, and Xia Duo still showed up in the past, and then went to do his own business in the shade.

In the afternoon, I continued to take Colin's "Level 0 Spell Overview" class. Of course, the overview part has already ended. This week is about [Reading Magic] and spell analysis.

After class, Xia Duo asked questions at his own pace, and Colin replied, and he also received the remuneration from Donald and others, but Xia Duo noticed that there was a staff change in Donald's five-member group——

The inspirational man was gone, replaced by an apprentice who wore the same refined robe as Donald. Now the five people's styles are unified.

However, Xia Duo doesn't care who they replace, as long as they have gold coins for him.

……

The life of the mage tower is very regular, very similar to the state of Chateau in high school, but he needs to invest more than in high school.Time just passed day by day, Xia Duo lived extremely fulfilling.

Two months passed in a flash.

During this period of time, Xia Duo has mastered the [Brightening Technique] proficiently, and can release it in one or two breaths.In addition to [Brightening Technique], Shado also exchanged the learning scrolls of [Acid Splashing] and [Repairing Technique].

[Acid Splash] This classic apprentice-level magic is to add a bit of magic attack ability to oneself, and [Repair] is the key to the promotion of ordinary apprentices to full-time apprentices.

This promotion is not an increase in spellcasting level, but only a level increase within the mage tower.

After becoming a formal apprentice, you can gain many new permissions, such as freely entering and leaving the Mage Tower, exchanging study scrolls, opening more courses, asking questions after class, and most importantly - unlocking the Mage Tower quest system.

Mage is a very expensive profession. Xia Duo has a deep understanding of it. Ordinary apprentices are basically similar to servants, with low wages and no extra money. Only after the outstanding ones become formal apprentices can they truly join the Mage Tower. opportunity to make real money.

For example, concocting simple magic potions, transcribing magic scrolls in the apprenticeship stage, cooperating with territorial army patrols, investigating territorial abnormalities, etc.

Without these tasks, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to persist. Even rich people need these tasks to exercise and make some money by the way.

In the past two months, Xia Duo has earned nearly 200 gold coins just by transcribing the [Brightening Art] scroll, but the more he earns and the more he spends, he is now able to master [Acid Splash] and [Brightening Art]. , relying on soaking in the magic laboratory for a while every day.

In addition, he needed to supplement study supplies, borrow books from the library, and if he hadn't been able to get gold coins by answering questions for ordinary apprentices, Xia Duo would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Now his main attack is [Repair]. Today, he may not be as good as Dean on the basis, but in terms of the speed of learning [Repair], he is far ahead of Dean.

One has a learning scroll, and all the details of the spell can be viewed, and the other can only be learned through self-study and consultation. The progress is not only a few miles slow!
……

Before "lights out" that night, Xia Duo had just sent off the Donald Five who came to "make up the class" in the dormitory. Someone knocked on the door again. Xia Duo opened the door and saw that it was Dean.

"Dean, why are you? You've been promoted to a full apprentice?!"

Xia Duo was surprised to find that Dean had changed into a brand new mage robe, and his name was embroidered on his left chest. It turned out that he passed the assessment of the mage tower without a sound and was promoted successfully!

"Oh, I regret it! I knew I wouldn't be promoted now, alas—"

Although he has achieved his dream for two years, Dean is not happy at all at this moment, but has a face full of frustration and reluctance.

"What's wrong?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

It was the first time he saw Dean in such a low mood, and he didn't know what was the reason, whether it was Dean himself or the Mage Tower?Will it affect him?
