There are a lot of rules in the Mage Tower, but Xia Duo lived in a strict society before he crossed over, and he did not feel constrained by this, but because of the order, Xia Duo has a feeling of living in modern times, and these rules also give Xia Duo an extra layer of understanding of the mage's world.

The only thing that Xia Duo paid some attention to was one of the precautions - no spells should be cast in non-designated areas, in fact, Xia Duo was very much in favor of this rule, raising his hands in favor, after all, no one wanted to live in fear in the mage tower, for fear of a deadly spell flying next to him.

But the problem is that Xia Duo has just lost the match, and he doesn't know what the use of the candle he sent before will be in his future life, but this question only lingered in Xia Duo's mind for a few seconds, and he didn't take it to heart.

What really cared him was how to be literate.

Of course, this problem is not difficult to solve, and the easiest way to do it is of course to go to the previous apprentice, Dean, but Xia Duo is not sure if Dean will teach him wholeheartedly, and how much it will cost.

However, about this, Xia Duo also has some vague thoughts in his heart, as for whether it will succeed or not, he can test it after dinner.

Next, Xia Duo changed into a mage robe issued by the mage tower, and unexpectedly, a line of text was embroidered on his chest, similar to the mage apprentice Xia Duo met outside the registration office before.

However, for the time being, Xia Duo couldn't recognize the color-resistant lingua franca of his name, so he didn't worry too much.

Xia Duo seems to have nothing to do next, whether it is chores or classes, it will only officially start tomorrow, as for contacting other people, with Xia Duo's brief understanding of the Mage Tower, it is estimated that no one wants to waste time chatting with Xia Duo, unless Xia Duo is willing to pay.

Speaking of money, Xia Duo counted his belongings again, and in addition to the contents of the standard wooden box for the apprentice of the mage Tafa, the things Xia Duo brought from outside were a set of linen clothes, an iron dagger, and 27 silver coins.

It's not difficult to survive in the Mage Tower, but it's impossible to support him in learning magic, Xia Duo thought of the people who were with him three days ago, even if it was little Neil, there was an inn income to support him, and Xia Duo had nothing.

However, Xia Duo is not without a little advantage, at least he has now crossed the threshold of the nameless tool man, is an apprentice with a name, plus there are 10 0-ring magic scrolls to exchange permissions, it is already a good start.

It's just that the thought of going to "college" soon, he doesn't even know words, textbooks, not even ink for note-taking, and blank paper, Xia Duo still feels a little stressed.

An afternoon of time certainly can't be wasted like this, and although he has already come into contact with the magic net, Xia Duo is not prepared to try too much before receiving formal guidance, so as not to go astray.

Caution is needed when dealing with magic, this is not only the advice that Mu Yan gave him, but also what he asked of himself.

Therefore, Xia Duo decided to take up a meditation practice, although he did not know if a real mage would perform similar actions, but as a rational person, it was essential to organize his thoughts from time to time, review the past, and plan for the future.

Right now, you've just entered a new environment, and it's time to adjust.

Moreover, in a world of magic and gods, this kind of meditation may have some special effect!

……

I don't know how much time has passed, Xia Duo opened his eyes, and the original impetuousness had dissipated, at this time he was extremely rational and had a very clear plan for the future.

There is no confusion, no worries, only the fire of firm determination burning.

"Taling, Request: The Moment!"

"Apprentice Shado, current moment: 5:15 p.m."

Xia Duo just tried it casually, but he didn't expect that he could really ask about the current moment.

When Taling was asked to tell the content of the "New Book Manual" before, Taling mentioned a very specific and precise moment, and Xia Duo was still a little puzzled at that time, how could he control the time so accurately because he didn't have a timekeeping tool.

I didn't expect Taling to be a real-time time signaling device.

But it's reasonable to think about it, the mage tower can provide ordinary people nearby with a timekeeping rune suspended at the top, indicating the approximate time, so it is natural to popularize a more accurate timekeeping method internally.

Isn't the precise moment the most perfect embodiment of order?

……

When it was almost time for dinner, Xia Duo closed the door and prepared to go to the restaurant on the first floor.

However, what made him very uncomfortable was that there was a simple lock device similar to a latch inside the door, but there was no lock on the outside, in other words, once a person left, everyone could enter his room.

Although there is nothing of value in his room, it is quite difficult for Lai Xia to accept this kind of practice without a door lock because of the modern concept of privacy.

There are flush toilets in the mage tower, is it so difficult to install a door lock?

But it was clear that the mages above could not hear his voice.

This time there was no one else to lead him, Xia Duo came to the elevator by himself, and naturally called for Taling-

"Taling, request: go to the restaurant."

With the experience of using "artificial retardation" before crossing over, Xia Duo did not say the specific number of layers, but Ta Ling still accurately grasped Xia Duo's thoughts, and within Xia Duo's authority, sent him to the first floor of the Mage Tower.

Walking out of the elevator, a few steps away is a hall, where a group of young people dressed in outside clothes are being trained by a middle-aged mage.

It is a common sense training after joining the Mage Tower.

If Xia Duo came in through the normal channel, he would also go through this experience, because he saw little Neil in the crowd with a somewhat inferior expression, Xia Duo smiled and didn't take it to heart.

I didn't think about how much I would have with him in the future, and since he decided to teach old Neil a lesson, it was impossible for him to face little Neil casually.

Not only should the diaphragm respond to others, but also the diaphragm should be applied to oneself.

……

It was still a little short of the time for dinner, but there were already apprentices coming, still in the style of a mage, not dragging their feet at all, and there was little communication between the apprentices, each taking his own dinner and nibbling on his own bread.

However, most of the apprentices' choices were similar to those of Chado, taking two loaves of bread and leaving.

When Shado returned, the new group of apprentices had not yet disbanded, but the atmosphere was not as calm as before, and some began to look around.

Coincidentally, Xia Duo glanced at it casually when he passed by, but he didn't expect it to meet the gaze of little Neil who turned his head to look, and both sides recognized each other.

Xia Duo looked calm, while Little Neil's eyes were a little evasive.

Looks like he already knows!

Xia Duo didn't care, and walked straight in the direction of the elevator, he still had to go to Dean.
