Chapter 25: The first class, legend
Regarding the afternoon teaching, Xia Duo consulted the tower spirit. Apprentices can decide on their own according to their own learning progress. Generally, apprentices who have just entered the mage tower will be taught by some excellent formal apprentices in the hall on the first floor.
And further, you can choose to join the course of the official mage without applying, but the official mage will not change the progress specifically for someone. If you can't keep up, you will either quit the first-level course or just listen until the course is repeated again.
By asking Taring, you can get a list of courses offered by each official mage. Xia Duo has a general understanding. There are detailed explanations about a specific spell, about the structure of magic nets, about the manufacture of magic items, and even special wizards. Etiquette class, wizard etiquette class.
But these have nothing to do with Xia Duo for the time being. His current magic foundation is almost 0, and he hasn't even passed the text level. How can he be in the mood to consider other things.
All he can choose now is the most basic "Magic Enlightenment Course", which is taught in the hall on the first floor by an official apprentice named Garnar.
……
In the hall on the first floor of the Tower of Time, although the previous official mage manager mentioned that 26 new apprentices had been added this year, when Xia Duo came here, there were only less than 10 people.
Xiao Neil also appeared in it. Xia Duo was not surprised. He was conscious as early as when he entered the tower for the assessment. Apart from him, everyone else has more or less money in the family. Please one who has given up the magic It does not cost much for the apprentices who leave the mage tower to enlighten in advance.
12:30.
Gardner, the official apprentice who was teaching, appeared stuck in the hall on the first floor, scanned around, and finally fixed his gaze on Xia Duo. Xia Duo was helpless. He only had the name of an official apprentice now, but not a formal apprentice. The apprentice's ability to stay around a group of unenlightened people is indeed quite conspicuous.
But in the face of Gardner's gaze, Xia Duo still looked at him very generously. He did have shortcomings, but he was trying to improve, and there was nothing shameful.
Fortunately, Gardner just stared at it for a while, and then started today's class without any ridicule or shocking words.
"Everyone, since you have chosen to join the Mage Tower, then these three years should not be wasted. Otherwise, why not just go to the town to find some other work? Since you have the thought of the magical road in your heart, you have to take out everything. Don’t waste your family’s efforts."
"Today's lesson will not involve any magic knowledge. I will introduce to you the experience of living, studying, and working in the mage tower, as well as the stories of several legendary characters."
Ghanal’s first lesson did not directly start with magic, but first told everyone about the things that need attention in daily life and work in the Mage Tower, with a little encouragement and prospects.
The experience of a formal apprenticeship is also very valuable to Chateau. He eagerly absorbed the experience taught by Gardner, combined with his own specificity, and kept records on parchment from time to time.
And the legendary stories told by Gardner also brought great spiritual inspiration to Chateau.
Dasriel, the archmage, had been a farmer before the age of 30. He accidentally obtained a magic enlightenment book when he was 30, but he did not choose to sell the book to improve his life.
Instead, he spent a huge price on learning words from scratch. During this period, even his son laughed at him, thinking that a farmer wanted to become a Master, which was extremely ridiculous.
But Das Riel never gave up. In the face of doubts from his family and ridicule from neighbors, he could only secretly use his spare time in the farming slack to study like a scholar in the city.
People were surprised that Das Riel pulled a cart of dry firewood into the town, but did not return with silver coins in the end. Days and years passed, when Das Riel released the first 0 when he was 35 years old. His life changed when he was ringing magic.
After the local lord learned the story of a farmer who became a mage through self-study, he invested in him and brought him into the mage tower. From then on, Darthriel was unacceptable on the road of magic.
At the age of 45, the orcs invaded Darthriel's hometown. At a critical moment, Darthriel descended from the sky with a sky full of magic. Only then did people know that he had become a noble archmage.
And many believe that the archmage Dasriel will become a legend.
The legend of Dasriel, Chateau had heard the adventurers at the Old Neil Hotel before, but the adventurers said it was scattered and exaggerated, and it was not as vivid and true as Gardner told.
In addition to the archmage Dasriel, Gardner also tells the story of the great arcanist Congenio who invented the [Iron Stone] hundreds of years ago and is still alive.
is also vivid and touching, which makes Xia Duo yearn for.
However, to Chateau’s surprise, Iorem’s name was not mentioned by Gardner. In the background of the game played before Chateau’s crossing, Iorem’s name is and Netheril. The most closely related name.
When Netheril is mentioned, I have to mention the floating city-cut off the mountain peak, make it float and reverse, and build the cloud city on it.
What can support a section of mountain in and out of the cloud?
The answer is the Miser Energy Nucleus invented by Iolum.
However, Xia Duo has never heard of Floating City when she travels through it. Obviously, the Miser energy core has not yet been invented. Xia Duo doesn't know when the Miser energy core was invented by Iolum.
But before the second ~www.readwn.com~ Iolum shouldn't be an unknown person, not to mention the legend that the ancestor of Lord Savile, the great arcanist Saville, is a student of Iolum.
Before Garnar mentioned that he wanted to tell the story of a legend, Chateau also expected the story of Iolum to appear, but he didn't even mention it.
For the Miser Energy Core and the Floating City, Xia Duo was extremely eager. If he came to Netheril and couldn't control the various planes of the Floating City, it would be a trip for nothing.
……
The time flickered, and half a day passed. At about 5 pm, Gardner was about to end today's class, and before it was over, there was a question session every day.
Even for formal apprenticeship classes, there will be a questioning session, but usually the objects of formal apprenticeship classes are ordinary apprentices, so they can often be ignored, but today there is more summer.
Ghanal did not ignore Chateau, but directly called him, "Apprentice Chateau, do you have any questions?"
The other seven or eight ordinary apprentices immediately looked at Xia Duo with envy. Xia Duo actually had a lot of questions in his heart. He did not have the ability to communicate with real formal apprentices on an equal footing, so he could only ask questions through the opportunity to ask. Up.
But not today. Yesterday, he agreed with Dean to help him ask the official mage about [Restoration]. Although Gardner is not an official mage, he can become an official apprentice. It shouldn’t be difficult to answer this question, just don’t know him. Will you answer questions outside the course?
"I promise an apprentice to ask him questions about [Prosthetics], can I?"
Garner was not surprised. He has seen too many personal questioning opportunities in this transaction. "Yes, but I can only answer one question."
