"Good choice." The person who came complimented him and said his name, "Xia Duo, you can call me Dean, and you can find me if you need help in the future." Now, I'm going to show you how to communicate with Taling—

"First of all, 'instructions' can only be used by formal mages, apprentices can only say 'request', there is no need to shorten sentences, it is fine to communicate with people normally, but don't ask meaningless words, such as asking Taling questions beyond the mage tower, or asking about other people's privacy, this will only increase the time it takes for Taling to respond to you in the future, and it will not do you any good;

"Secondly, if you encounter a situation where Taling does not answer or does not respond, it means that Taling cannot solve it, or your authority is not enough."

After listening to Dean's words, Xia Duo thought for a while, Taling can be understood as a relatively advanced artificial intelligence, but this human-computer interaction is too unfriendly! The request is invalid and you can't get any prompt or feedback.

Maybe no prompt and no feedback is a sense of improvement and feedback.

Xia Duo couldn't help but try, "Taling, request: where is my current position?" ”

"Apprentice Xia Duo, your current location is in the Mage Tower - Common Floor - No. 3 Material Claim Office - Corridor Outside the Gate." A hollow, mechanical voice rang out in the space between Chardor and Dean.

Seeing that Xia Duo still wanted to continue trying, Dean hurriedly said: "Xia Duo, I think you can communicate with Taling later, you should give me the match." ”

Dean couldn't wait for matches so much, which made Xia Duo realize that he had underestimated the value of this box of matches, but the value was relative, and at this moment, Xia Duo didn't feel too much loss in exchange for Dean's answer.

He opened the box, took out the match, and tossed it to Dean, "Thank you for your answer." ”

Dean took the match and smiled with satisfaction, "For your sake, I can answer you one more question, and I'll ask it when I'm ready." ”

Well? Xia Duo immediately asked his most important question, "What should I do next?" ”

This kind of question is very subjective, and Xia Duo is worried that Taling will not be able to answer, so he hurriedly asks Dean that if he can get an answer, it will save him a lot of trouble.

"Your question makes me feel a little at a loss, but since I agreed, I will definitely give you an answer." Dean smiled, not retracting.

Perhaps because of the box of matches, Dean seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, motioned to Xia Duo to pick up the wooden box and follow him, and said as he walked: "You should not be illiterate, otherwise, you will know what to do after reading the manual." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xia Duo knew that his question was a waste, and he could have asked Taling to read the contents of the manual, and then ask Dean some questions that newcomers need to pay attention to.

But at this time, it was useless to regret it, if Dean didn't say it, he didn't necessarily think about it, he thought that the manual might be a mage tower rule like a student code, but he didn't expect it to be a complete "freshman guide".

If you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for not being literate, how can you do it if you can't read in the Mage Tower! Xia Duo had made literacy his first priority when he entered the Mage Tower.

The two quickly came to the side of the elevator and stood up.

"Taling, request: go to the apprentice quarters level." Dean said here, and then turned back to Xia Duo, "The first thing you have to do now is to settle down, all the apprentices in the mage tower live on the dormitory level, and there is a dining room on the first floor for dinner. ”

Xia Duo nodded and did not ask again.

Soon, the elevator stopped, and this floor was very similar to the previous public floor, it was also a circular corridor, with doors on both sides, and behind the doors should be the dormitory.

"Just go to the management office to register, my dormitory number is 02163, you can ask me for help if you need anything, I am in the dormitory for a few hours after dinner, just bring a good pay!"

Dean pointed to Shador to the apprentice dormitory management office and left.

Then Xia Duo knew what to do, and registered the information in the management office very smoothly, and then chose a dormitory by himself, the mage tower is not tight in terms of accommodation, and all apprentices are single dormitories.

"02404, this is it!"

Almost halfway through the circular corridor, Xia Duo finally found his dormitory.

Looking at the marker on the door, Xia Duo let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally settled down.

From the outside, the distance between the doors on the same side of the corridor is not as wide as a door, but when you walk in, you will find that there is a hole inside-

A fairly spacious bedroom, a separate bathroom.

There was a wooden table, a chair, a bed, and two blankets on the bed, and the temperature in the mage tower seemed to be constant, neither hot nor cold, and Xia Duo would not be unable to live without a futon.

As soon as he walked into the bathroom, Xia Duo saw that there was a device that looked like a modern flush toilet, and it was obvious that the mages had paid attention to the toilet problem, which made Xia Duo feel good, God knows how much he suffered because of the toilet problem during the six months he worked at the Old Neil Hotel!

In addition to the flush toilet, there is also a sink in the bathroom that looks like a vegetable sink in a modern kitchen, extending from the wall and filling it with water, which Xia Duo reached out to probe - the water was warm.

And Xia Duo noticed that there was a whirlpool at the bottom of the pool that was always spinning, this whirlpool Xia Duo did not dare to reach out and touch it, he was still quite cautious about the unknown.

However, Xia Duo guessed that this was a way of circulating water to keep the water in the pool clean at all times.

Put the wooden box issued before in the corner of the bedroom, Xia Duo lay down directly on the bed, the inside and outside of the mage tower gave him a very separate feeling, the town of Savile outside was like a backward Middle Ages, and the inside of the mage tower was back to the modern era.

It's just that I don't know what new discoveries will be made in the future, and Xia Duo is looking forward to it.

Turning over, Xia Duo jumped up from the bed, took out all the contents of the box, spread it on the bed, pointed to the thin manual, and called, "Taling, request: please read the contents of this manual." ”

Hardly at any length, Taling understood Xia Duo's request, and replied in his hollow and very mechanical voice, "Apprentice Xia Duo, the contents of the "Guide to the Life of the Mage Tower" are as follows: Life, Work, Study, and Precautions. ”

As he listened, he flipped through the manual, trying to memorize the syllables and meanings of some words, but he gave up, because he didn't know where he had started reading, and he couldn't help but pay attention to the position of the numbers and ignore the other contents, so he simply closed the manual and listened intently to what Taling had to say.

A booklet actually doesn't have much content, it's basically food, clothing, housing, transportation, work and rest arrangements, and some precautions in the mage tower, which is similar to Xia Duo's college before he crossed over, but there are a lot of chores to do here, and it's not just for studying.

In fact, as far as apprenticeship is concerned, it's more like being a servant, learning is just a perk of the Mage Tower, and the priority is definitely to complete the day's tasks.

Of course, the task is not heavy, only the morning and an hour before going to bed in the evening is the task time.

And the afternoon is the most anticipated study time for Xia Duo, the mage tower will arrange for formal mages or excellent apprentices to teach ordinary apprentices, and only the three hours after the meal will belong to their own arrangements.

That's probably what Dean meant when he left to be free after dinner.
