Chapter 34: Use gold to punish and exchange for scrolls
On the first day after entering the Mage Tower, Xia Duo asked Taring about the rules of the Mage Tower. One of them was that it was not allowed to make loud noises in the library because the transcription room was not soundproof.
What people who read and copy there need most is a quiet environment, and now—
As expected, several apprentices have already rushed out of the transcription room full of anger. Masters are good at focusing, but it doesn't mean they like noise pollution.
Xia Duo saw that one of them was running towards the administrator, while the others were surrounding him, seeming to be preparing to do something.
But just as Xia Duo was about to see if a fight would happen, two white lights flashed, the angry man disappeared, and another white light appeared in another group of people.
"what happened?"
"Knowles triggered the ban!"
"Knowles is ready to release [tremor shock]!"
"Poor Knowles, I think he will go bankrupt before the end of the month!"
"Haha!"
……
After making a whisper, the apprentices dispersed again and returned to the transcription room.
The library was quite quiet after the violent man 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 rule of using gold coins as a penalty is really realistic. If Xia Duo is a rich person, 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, Xia Duo will not be affected.
But this feeling of placing one's own safety on the rationality of others is really uncomfortable. Besides, God knows if there will be any unwarranted disaster on Xia Duo's head, such as being hit by some runaway experiment.
In the final analysis, the order here is different from the original earth, and Xia Duo itself is not strong enough.
……
Leaving the library floor hurriedly, Xia Duo did not return to the dormitory, but came to the public floor. He was going to exchange for a magic scroll. When registering, Mage Leonard mentioned that he would be exchanged for the 0-ring magic scroll 10 times. Permissions.
Before, Xia Duo didn’t exchange it because he didn’t understand magic. But now, he just asked Colin in the afternoon. As long as he learns the skills of [Reading Magic], the algorithm recognition is not enough. You can also learn scrolls or unencrypted ones. The spell book comes from learning.
As for how to practice, Dean has just demonstrated to him.
As soon as he thought that he could get the magic scroll, he started to learn by himself, Xia Duo's heart was extremely hot, and he finally started to master the power.
Although he knew in his heart that learning from the scrolls was always a clumsy imitation, he might not be able to understand why such a structure, and the principles and rules between different structures.
The gap between scrolls and no scrolls is huge. If Dean had a [Restoration] learning scroll, he might have become an official apprentice long ago.
But learning scrolls must first become official apprentices before they can be exchanged. This is similar to Catch 22 regulations, almost forcing all apprentices to be geniuses.
Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to become an official apprentice, you may not know how far you can go.
usually fails in three years, and most of them give up.
It is definitely an advantage that Xia Duo can get a learning scroll at the beginning of school.
……
Public Floor, No. 6 Material Application Office.
By inquiring Taring, Chateau determined that the material application office was right next to the elevator on the public floor, but it was not the elevator that Chateau usually used, and he had never paid attention to it before.
The first time I came here, I was still a little nervous, because this application office is dedicated to receiving or purchasing magic equipment, scrolls, potions and other finished products.
Inside is an official mage and an official apprentice. When Xia Duo came in, the two were counting the supplies. When Xia Duo came in, the apprentice immediately asked:
"Apprentice Chateau? Didn't you come often before, is it a scroll or a potion? The scroll is 10 gold coins, and the potion 20 gold coins. How many?"
Xia Duo didn't quite understand what he meant, and quickly said what he meant, "I want to exchange for a study 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 apprehensive. He didn't want any relationship with the official mage. For him now, what he hopes most is to be a little transparent. No one should pay attention to him.
Especially a formal mage, whether it is good or bad, he can't bear such a newcomer who has just entered the field of magic.
"Don't be nervous, I just asked casually. I heard that Mage Leonard was sent out by the lord to perform the task, but I didn't expect to bring back an apprentice and gave the exchange authority. I was a little curious."
The more gentle the Mage's attitude was, the more fearful Xia Duo was, but he had to bite the bullet and said: "I am an ordinary person, and Mage Leonard just brought me back along the way."
This is not a lie. He was indeed brought back by the way, but there is no need to talk about the deal between Mu Yan and Leonard.
Seeing Xia Duo's cautious appearance, the mage didn't go into it, but mentioned Xia Duo's intentions, "Say, what scroll are you going to exchange for?"
"A [lighting technique] learning scroll." Xia Duo quickly replied.
This is what he had thought before he came. Although he wanted to learn an offensive spell, it was a beginner after all, and he was still self-learning, and he had to consider the risks.
The Spell Lab is not a panacea, and Xia Duo still has no idea what will happen to offensive spells out of control.
It is better to start with [Lighting Art]. He asked Dean, [Lighting Art] is the easiest magic for apprentices to master.
After listening to Chateau’s request~www.readwn.com~ the official mage's lips fluttered, as if he was communicating with Taring, but he quickly confirmed Chateau’s authority and turned around and took out a scroll from the shelf behind him. Give it to Xia Duo.
Xia Duo quickly took over the learning scroll, and at the same time a familiar hollow mechanical sound rang in her ears, "Apprentice Xia Duo, exchange one copy of [Lighting Technique] study scroll, exchange permission -1."
Looking at the other two people in the room, the apprentice had already begun to count the supplies, while the mage looked at Xia Duo kindly.
"Have you heard the prompt from Taring?"
"Ok."
"The transaction is complete. I'll give you a piece of advice, don't over indulge in the effects of spells. The principles and rules contained in it are the real knowledge, which is what our mage pursues."
Seems to see Xia Duo's desire for power, and the mage even mentioned Xia Duo.
"Yes, I will remember, thank you, Master Master."
"You don't need to call me Master Master. In front of the truth, we are all apprentices. I am Jose. If you are interested in taking Elvish language, you can take my course."
"Yes."
"Go out."
Xia Duoru received the amnesty and quickly left the material claiming office. Although this Mage Jose 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 born. Feel any closeness.
I am still too weak, not only weak in strength, but also weak in knowledge, but if there is a strong thing, there can be a certain degree of support, instead of being such a dispensable apprentice.
However, Xia Duo still remembered the advice of Master Jose. This was actually his heart, but it was also necessary to obtain self-protection power in the early stage. Xia Duo had his own plan and would not be easily shaken.
