If Dean solves the problem of [Repair Technique] before Xia Duo learns writing, then Xia Duo will not have to find another person, and if Xia Duo learns writing first, Dean will have to pay a lot of price if he wants to continue.

I don't know if he can afford it, and Xia Duo's guess should not be able to pay it, otherwise he would have been able to trade with other people a long time ago, and he would have become a full-fledged apprentice.

……

After agreeing on the content of the deal with Dean, Xia Duo couldn't wait to ask Dean for advice, he needed to know words so much, as long as he knew words, his learning speed would be greatly improved.

Dean did not hesitate in the face of Xia Duo, who asked to start teaching immediately, he did not believe that Xia Duo would be able to memorize all the words in a few hours, and as long as he did not remember and wanted to continue learning, then he would at least get a chance to ask questions tomorrow.

The slower Xia Duo learns, the more opportunities he will get to ask questions, and at this moment, he has no intention of deliberately procrastinating, maybe he is confident enough to solve the problem of [Repair Technique] before Xia Duo learns words.

Dean turned around and took out a parchment-bound booklet from the standard wooden box and handed it to Xia Duo, "This is the Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance that I copied when I was learning to write, but because I can't afford to buy new blank notes, the first half has been scratched off by me, so you can learn the second half, there are common words anyway." ”

Xia Duo took the parchment booklet, and instead of looking at what was newly written in front of it, he opened the booklet with blackened edges directly from the middle.

It may be that Xia Duo happened to turn to the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance", and Dean did not turn it again, just pointed to the words on that page face to face, and read:

"Law is authority, and law maintains social order, otherwise, the world will fall into chaos. The Divine Proverb of the Lord of Radiance: The power of the law is unshakable, and it is taken for granted, just as the rising sun rises every day, and all disputes and crimes can be perfectly resolved in the law. ”

"Study the law and bring it into your life; Every word must be followed, and in this way, you will find a world in the mystery of the law. As long as you obey the law, there will be no righteous punishment for you; Let no doubt that the determination of the superior can make the power to follow the precedent grow strongly, and only then can the powerful will of Amanata be revealed to the world; Those who serve the superior sincerely will be rewarded with his sincerity; However, if you evade responsibility, you will not escape severe punishment. ”

Dean reads a sentence, and Chardo repeats it.

This kind of proverb is similar to the Analects before Xia Duo's crossing, which is the words of the great man, and also indicates a certain concept of the great man. This half of the Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance is supposed to have been compiled by the Amanata Church, both as a literacy reader and as a subtle propagation of faith.

However, Xia Duo's three views have long been formed, and his attitude towards these proverbs is more critical, and he deconstructs these proverbs with his own three views.

There are some proverbs that he actually disagrees with, but Xia Duo is not stupid enough to say it directly, the people of Nayse are still very serious about their beliefs, at least they will not arrange gods casually like earthlings.

This booklet was so much that I only read half of it, and I quickly finished reading it for the first time.

Xia Duo felt that learning words in this way was too inefficient, it was simply rote memorization, and he did not pay attention to skills at all.

He has never seen anyone learn words like this, even the ancients on the earth have dictionaries and dictionaries!

When he was learning the lingua franca with Little Neil, he knew that there were scholars in the town who taught the Naishi script for a lot of money, and it was said that he learned it through poetry.

I thought that the Mage Tower would be more advanced, such as a special dictionary, a study manual or something, but when I first read the second sentence before, Xia Duo asked Dean, no, at least Dean hadn't heard of any dictionary.

Xia Duo couldn't help but be a little discouraged, if he really learned words in this way, when would he learn it!

Xia Duo felt the need to compile a dictionary by himself, he still knew the truth of sharpening the knife and cutting wood, and it was convenient to review it at any time with a dictionary by his side.

"Dean, let's be here today, I'd like to buy a blank notebook, there are some things that are hard to remember with just your mind."

"No problem, you can come to me whenever you need it."

Seeing that Xia Duo was temporarily not studying today, Dean was too late to be happy, so he hurriedly got up and prepared to send Xia Duo, but Xia Duo was somewhat embarrassed, he just said that he wanted to buy notes, and before he got up, Dean couldn't wait to send him away.

"Forget it, I'm leaving, if you want to ask any questions tomorrow, tell me first, and I'll tell you after dinner when I ask."

Dean immediately spoke up his question, and then gave Shado a piece of advice—

"It's best to go to the material claim office when you buy a blank note, it's all brand new, if you buy it cheaply from another apprentice, then the inside of the note must be scratched to the last chance to write."

"Okay, I remember your question, and thank you for the suggestion, I'm leaving."

In fact, Xia Duo didn't think about buying blank notes from other apprentices, and if he didn't have a channel to say it when he first arrived, he might be cheated, just like Dean said.

A brand new piece of parchment is normally thick enough to be scratched 5 times, which means that a piece of paper has 5 chances to write, whether it is to correct mistakes or reuse, new ones are definitely better than used ones.

……

Most of the material application offices of the Mage Tower are on the public floor, such as the No. 3 application office where the apprentice wooden box was received before, and this time Xia Duo is going to the No. 1 application office, he asked Taling, basic materials such as parchment, ink, and matches are applied for or purchased at the No. 1 application office.

More advanced things such as experimental materials need to be applied for or purchased at other application offices.

Riding the elevator to the public floor, Xia Duo didn't see a few apprentices walking around outside on the way, until there were more people near the No. 1 material application office.

But almost all of these people are in a hurry, and they don't want to waste their time at all.

Occasionally, two people talked in a whisper, and deliberately stopped when Xia Duo passed by, and then stared at him until he left, this kind of thief-like behavior made Xia Duo quite unhappy.

When I arrived at the No. 1 application office, the layout inside was like a grocery store, and two "nameless" apprentices behind the counter were entertaining and counting and sorting out the supplies on the shelves behind it.

"Uh- hello, do you have blank notes for sale? How much? ”

Hearing Xia Duo's question, one of the apprentices turned around and said, "100 blank notes, 15 gold coins, and a single parchment 2 silver coins, how much?" ”

As soon as he heard that the blank note asked for 15 gold coins, Xia Duo's heart suddenly cooled, he now only had a total of 27 silver coins on his body, and the salary of the mage tower was only 1 silver coin per day.

If you want to buy a blank notebook, you have to work for at least 4 months, and the daylily is going to be cold, this is a hard-working apprentice without the support of the family and forces behind him!

And if you buy parchment alone, the price of each piece is one-third more expensive than the whole purchase, which is simply slaughtering!
