Chapter 20 Trading
First go back to his dormitory, take a wooden wine glass and fill half a glass of warm water in the whirlpool in the bathroom (half a glass is about 500 ml), and then Xia Duo will take a wine glass in one hand and bread in the other, and look for his Dean's dormitory while eating.
02163 is Dean's dormitory number, while Xia Duo's is 02404, which is not far away.
However, the dense doors on both sides of the circular corridor were quite strange, and Xia Duo subconsciously quickened his pace.
"02163, this is it."
The door was closed, Xia Duo knocked on the door first, but no one answered inside, Xia Duo did not break in directly, but waited outside the door while eating.
By this time, several of the apprentices had already returned to the dormitory, and as they passed by Xia Duo, only a few looked at them with suspicious eyes, but they did not stop to ask, and more did not look at them, as if Xia Duo did not exist.
What a group of people who are extremely rational and self-disciplined!
Xia Duo sighed in his heart, if the school before he crossed over was also such an atmosphere, it would be terrible.
Although Xia Duo did not believe that so many people could go against the nature of pleasure, the facts are here-
There is no intrigue, no framing each other, no mutual friendship, and interpersonal relationships are indifferent to the extreme.
Could it be that the official mage above is like this?
It is true that several official mages that Xia Duo has dealt with are like this, such as Master Leonard, the two mages at the registration office and the material application office, but he has also seen the scene of the mages reveling collectively during the Midsummer Festival, which is really incomprehensible!
Obviously, the mages have their own set of rules for life and social interactions, which need to be discovered by Xia Duo slowly.
The two loaves of bread were quickly eaten with warm water, and Xia Duo was half full, compared to the food he had eaten at the Old Neil Inn, the food provided to the apprentice by the Mage Tower was simple, but much more refined.
At least two loaves of bread, Xia Duo did not eat a single grain of sand or sawdust, and he was already looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast and lunch.
……
After eating the bread, Dean had not yet returned, and people like Shado, who had nothing to do and wandered around the door, were quite eye-catching, and although no one came to accuse him, there was obvious disdain in their eyes as they passed by.
However, for now, only Dean was an acquaintance, and Xia Duo had to wait hard, and he had never felt guilty for waiting until today.
Sure enough, the environment can affect people the most!
Fortunately, he didn't wait too long, Xia Duo saw Dean from a distance, and his features were still quite obvious, with fiery red hair, which was quite rare in the mage tower.
And Dean also found Xia Duo waiting at the door of his dormitory, and he couldn't hide the shocked look on his face, and immediately walked quickly towards Xia Duo, with a hint of jealousy in his tone-
"Xia Duo, meet again, I didn't expect you to be a real apprentice."
Seeing Dean again, hearing Dean's tone again, and the atmosphere in the mage tower he had seen before, Xia Duo was more sure of his previous thoughts.
"Dean, meet again, shall we talk outside the door?"
"Oh, please come in."
Dean pushed open the door and invited Chardo to enter, the layout of Dean's dormitory was the same as Chardo's own, a bedroom and a bathroom, and upon entering, Dean gave up the only chair to Chardo.
"You may be seated."
Dean seemed a little reserved, and only then did he sit down on the edge of the bed and ask, "Saddo, what are you looking for me?" I got that box of matches through fair trade, and it won't be useful if you report it to the mage. ”
"Don't worry, it's not the one who came to ask you for a match, the match is already yours."
Xia Duo smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't expect that just by adding his name to the mage's robe, Dean's attitude would change like this. But it just so happened that Xia Duo said what he meant.
"You should know that I'm not familiar with the Chroma script yet, and I'd like to ask you to tutor me, and in exchange, I can help you ask questions to Master Mage."
Yes, Dean is the lowest level of the mage tower, a pure tool man who doesn't even care about his name, when he first saw that some of the mage robes on different apprentices had names and some didn't, Xia Duo had this idea in his heart.
Trade with Dean.
Xia Duo currently has no money, it doesn't matter, and he only has the official apprenticeship status that Mu Yan provided him with at the beginning, which can ask questions to the official mage who took the class.
Of course, Dean was chosen only because he was the first to take the initiative to communicate with Chado.
If Dean doesn't want to, Xia Duo can also go to other "nameless" apprentices, and the channel for asking questions to the official mage must be hard currency.
Speaking of which, an apprentice like Xia Duo who is not qualified for a formal apprenticeship, but has an official apprenticeship, may be the only one in the entire Mage Tower.
He doesn't have the opportunity to ask questions of the official mage right now, and selling or exchanging the resources he needs is actually a good option, and it's an absolute seller's market.
Other apprentices who have the right to ask questions may not necessarily give up their limited opportunities to ask questions, and it may not be enough to use them themselves!
Therefore, after listening to Xia Duo's proposal, Dean's first reaction was joy, followed by doubt, "Really? Really, as long as I call you the Chroma Text, you are willing to help me ask the Master Mage questions? ”
"Really!"
"Great, I've always had a question about [Restoration], if it weren't for this, I would have become a full-fledged apprentice, Xia Duo, thank you so much, I'll give you back that box of matches."
Dean began to speak incoherently, and literally took out the box of matches from the inner pocket of the mage's robe, and even grabbed a handful of silver coins, which he was about to shove into Xia Duo's hand.
Of course, Xia Duo refused, "Dean, you don't have to do this, the matches are indeed your trade, and I have learned something from them, and as for the silver coins, you don't need to, put them away." ”
Actually, Xia Duo had thought about the problem of Dean deliberately delaying his learning progress in order to learn the [Repair Technique], but after thinking about it, the opportunity to ask questions is so precious, and someone else will definitely have this possibility.
Speaking of Xia Duo himself, if he was faced with Dean's situation, he would definitely delay the other party's learning progress as much as possible, so as to get more opportunities to ask questions.
Instead of switching to someone else, let's try it with Dean first.
This is actually a learning contest, depending on whether Xia Duo can learn words first, or Dean who solves the problem of [Repair Technique] first.
Regarding the study of language and writing, Xia Duo is still experienced, he can learn to speak the common language of Nai Se in more than half a year, there must be certain skills, counting the language before the crossing, he is also a language boss who can speak several foreign languages (forced boss~~).
The learning methods contained in modern education seem inconspicuous but have been verified by countless people, although Nesseriel has been established for more than 800 years, but in terms of education, it cannot catch up with the motherland before Xia Duo crossed.
It was true that there were batches of educators who had worked hard to achieve results, and on Nesser's side, although there were institutions similar to universities such as the Mage Tower, the indifferent exchanges between apprentices obviously did not collide with any excellent learning methods.
It's all about individual talent.
