Chapter 11: Introduction to the Mage
Zhao Xu's dormitory in this game is several times larger than the four-person dormitory of a real university.
After the whole people crossed, the first problem faced by the earth group was the problem of housing, many people did not expect to struggle for a house of their own on the earth, and they had to start again when they came to the other world.
Many people initially slept in the open air, no different from homeless people.
Zhao Xu directly completed his accommodation needs.
In the middle of the dormitory is a heavy nanmu table, and a half-person-high table top is placed with simple alchemy tools.
To the left of the table was his bed, square, and the mattress was folded.
On the other side, there is a colonnade bookcase that surrounds three walls.
Zhao Xu glanced at the past, "Introduction to Simple Spells", "Mage Road: Initial Heart", "Discussion on the Origin of the Eight Spell Factions", "Transfiguration in Change Spells", ......
All of them were mage-type books, but Zhao Xu knew that when he opened any book, he would find that the contents recorded on it were detailed and reliable.
Many people were amazed at the amazing details of Arthur at this time at first, and when some spell books began to be widely circulated in the later period, some people actually doubted that today's AI had reached such a terrible point that it could construct a knowledge system in this way.
Although they are all seemingly nonsense magic book theories, they are surprisingly self-consistent.
It's not just a casual copy and paste of some medieval magic books.
But only these, and it will make Zhao Xu so shocked that he almost can't close his jaw.
Directly in front of the desk, a female mage in a robe and cloak stood, standing there staring at him as if she were gazing at the years.
Zhao Xu thought to himself: Arthur's mage, it won't be so cheap as to give one-on-one tutoring to novice players like him.
"Hello, Mr. Midsummer." The woman did not lower her cloak, her face was still shrouded in a deep veil, and her whole body exuded an aura of mystery.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm your mentor for the mage tutorial, Antinoya. During this time, I will assist you in completing your mage training. The mysterious woman's voice was crisp and melodious.
"Is Mystra's mage that rich?"
Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
He knew that even the most powerful Mage Guild headquarters in Mystra still had a small class selection system for teaching mages.
In the traditional one-to-one model of mentoring and apprenticeship, unless the other party is the kind of legendary mage standing on top of the world, the teaching quality is always not as good as the current mainstream professional collective teaching effect.
One-on-one mentoring and apprenticeship are currently only seen in some rural wandering mages accepting apprentices.
So when he heard this way of teaching, his first reaction was not surprise, but a few questions.
If he's just playing a game, it doesn't matter.
But now he has to study hard, even if everyone is promoted to the second level, it doesn't matter if he hasn't come out of the mountain yet.
This time in the academy was the only time in his life when he could acquire knowledge for free.
"You don't have to worry, I'm just here to help, and I'll be responsible for answering your initial questions. For your specific teaching, you can look at the list of recent lectures on the desktop and participate in the above lectures according to your needs. ”
After that, she handed it over, and she didn't look back the whole time, as if she knew every one of the materials on the table.
Zhao Xu didn't look closely at it after taking it, and stuffed it into his backpack, but his eyes kept scanning the other party's cloak from time to time.
The light on the cloak, like the accumulation of the streamers of stars, made him can't help but have a suspicion in his heart.
The mysterious woman Antinoya saw that Zhao Xu was more interested in her cloak than herself, and couldn't help but say, "You are interested in this cloak, then after you complete the training, I can give you a set of the same." ”
"Really?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but raise his decibels, the legendary outstanding graduates will receive a gift package, can it really be their turn?
"Since this is this, this cloak is not valuable, it is just a simple decoration." Antinoya said.
Zhao Xu almost suffocated when he heard it, and he almost fantasized about it.
A legendary strange object that he couldn't buy had just come into his mind.
The Cloak of the Stars, according to legend, is immune to attacks from non-magical weapons, even if it is a magic weapon, as long as it passes the check, it can be exempted from half of the damage. The price is 130,000 gold coins, but it has never been priced, and even if you want to buy it at a premium, there is nowhere to buy it.
But this is also natural, in the matter of giving a graduation gift package, in the previous life forum, the most luxurious thing to give was a giant sword with 50 gold coins.
Others, usually with a weapon of no more than 10 gold coins, are dismissed.
For the rest of the time, Zhao Xu sat at the desk with peace of mind, looking at the introductory book provided to him by Antinoia: "Arcane Path".
The cover of this book is sketched with a bizarre pattern, like a mysterious giant net, communicating countless nodes.
However, the material looks like it is no longer this era, and it is a sense of history that comes to it.
According to the traditional concept that the older the stronger, it is worth a lot of money to sell it.
It is the author's name that says Antinoya that destroys the value. Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the mage must be uneasy to develop this kind of old spell for no reason.
He flipped through the contents as he asked Antinoa about the contents.
That's why Arthur stopped countless players from choosing mages.
People are here to play games, not to learn.
So before everyone knew the power of mages, many people were dissuaded by this amazing training and went straight to other professions.
What's even worse is that mage level 1 is also a rookie.
Life dice is the least D4 in all professions, and priests also have D8s.
This is in the case of limited resurrection stones, and the mage wants to upgrade by fighting monsters, and no one brings it is really a hell difficulty route.
Therefore, in the early stage, except for those who are interested in occultism or secondary two patients, few people can sink their hearts and minds to delve into the knowledge of spells recorded in a game.
Players really know that mages are powerful, but they still have to wait until the first level 5 mage appears, and then there are level 7 mages, level 9 mages, and level 11 mages.
thus reversing the player's concept step by step, and slowly arching the profession of mage to the altar.
It's not that players haven't been exposed to what they think of as NPC mages, but in other online games, NPCs and players are not a numerical system at all, and there are really NPC mages that destroy the world.
So in the early days, when everyone saw the powerful NPC mage, they didn't care.
As everyone knows, these NPCs are all upgraded by players, and they are the same race, class, specialty, skill, spell, immunity, health, and items that are slowly stacked up.
Zhao Xu knew this, but it didn't prevent him from looking at those heavenly tutorials now.
It stands to reason that the academy teaching is not to let a group of players listen to the lecture and then guide it slowly?
His way of starting is that the tutor looks at self-learning, which is inevitably a little magical.
The only thing that made him feel a little comforted was that although the book "Arcane Path" was a book of heaven for him, it did not prevent him from feeling that the book was well written.
In particular, the whole book exudes a sense of the depth of Arthur's countless epochs.
After a long while, Zhao Xu didn't ask a word, and the female mage would answer for him in detail.
But he still felt a little awkward about the process, like an aimless highway in the desert.
After turning a lot of pages, Zhao Xu still mentioned slightly, "Why didn't you teach me tricks or something like that first?" ”
Tricks are the mage's level zero spells, and basically every spell will master all the tricks.
When it comes to the later spells, the mages learn according to their abilities.
In fact, the other party never gave him a lecture on the common sense of mages first, but started with the origin of the arcane as soon as he came up, and he was already a little entangled.
The mage course is difficult, after all, there is a basis for it, and it will talk about spell models, how to prepare spells, and how to release spells.
It's one thing for players to be impatient, but at least the goal is clear.
Antinoa was very elegant, and she said, "What is there to talk about preparing a spell, isn't it a matter of course?" ”
Zhao Xu was surprised, "How can it be a matter of course?" ”
According to the records of the opening of the server, it has been a week since the first mage completed the training.
This is the first, not the average.
The overall player's progress can be imagined, and even when Zhao Xu entered the game 8 months later, there were still people who had not completed the mage tutorial training.
To be able to be recognized by the system as Level 1 for each profession, it is necessary to be able to display all professional abilities.
For example, a mage must be able to transcribe all level 0 spells and 3 level 1 spells, and be able to successfully cast level 1 spells, learn to "transcribe scrolls", successfully summon magic pets, and learn dragon language.
Now others actually tell him that this is a matter of course?
These bigwigs are considerate of their group of rookie players, they players don't have those real intelligence at the moment, and they can't really understand that knowledge so quickly, only after a year, everyone gets the body corresponding to the attributes, and that's a matter of course.
