With a new environment and a longing and worry for the future, Xia couldn't sleep for a long time, but compared to the days when he was at the Old Neil Inn, Xia Duo felt extremely relieved in the Mage Tower.

No one has a conflict of interest with him, and the competition between apprentices is more akin to the competition between students, and there is no such thing as knocking down others and you will make a profit.

The Mage Tower is the place of order, which is what Xia Duo is most satisfied with, which reminds him of the world before he travels through.

With all kinds of thoughts, in a daze, Xia Duo didn't know when he had fallen asleep.

……

The next day, just after dawn, Xia Duo suddenly lifted the blanket and jumped out of bed, "Talin, request: this is the moment!" ”

"Apprentice Shado, current moment: 4:05."

Hearing that it was not yet the time to "go to work", Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief, wanted to sleep for a while and was worried that he would miss the time, so he took out the dictionary that he had sorted out last night with only the first two letters, and could not even be called a half-finished product.

By the faint light of the dawn, I began to read aloud and memorize.

When I got tired of reading, I took a wooden wine glass to the whirlpool in the bathroom and scooped some water to drink, moisten my throat, and read again.

Xia Duo swore that he had never been so attentive to the college entrance examination that year!

Sure enough, the environment can change people!

……

Reading aloud and remembering, Xia Duo forgot the time, until the light in the room suddenly became bright, Xia Duo realized that the "wake-up prompt" had come.

The current time is 5 o'clock in the morning, and counting the "sleeping tips" of almost 9 o'clock in the evening, the rest time planned by the Mage Tower for apprentices is exactly 8 hours, which is also in line with the daily rest time of the average mage.

Of course, planning is planning, reality is another matter, at least last night Xia Duo saw the scene of the apprentices "fighting at night".

Xia Duo hurriedly packed up his things and put all the things that were convenient to carry in the inner pocket of the mage robe, especially some of the dictionaries he had sorted out last night, and even the bottle of inferior ink he put in his inner pocket.

In the end, he wiped his face with a handful of water and went out.

Before opening the door, Xia Duo felt that he should be quite early, after all, he woke up before the "wake-up light" came on, and then came out without much delay, but when he came to the restaurant on the first floor, he realized that he was already late.

Some of the apprentices had already left with egg rolls and cheese for breakfast, while others quickly finished their food and found a corner in the hall on the first floor to read by themselves. Because Xia Duo had just joined the Mage Tower, he didn't know how his next work would be arranged, so he could only learn from him, quickly finish his food and wait in the hall.

While reading silently, memorizing color-resistant words, while waiting.

In the meantime, the new "nameless" apprentices from yesterday also came, but they were a little idle after eating, chatting in the hall, which made the originally somewhat quiet hall extremely noisy.

Xia Duo couldn't help frowning, and he had the heart to stop, but the others didn't come out, so he didn't want to be a bird, but took advantage of this noisy environment to exercise his concentration ability.

This is one of the core elements of a mage's spell casting, and if you don't have enough concentration, even if you can cast a spell, the chance of the spell getting out of control will be much higher than that of someone with more concentration.

Coming from the modern era, Xia Duo has all kinds of information temptations, and his concentration is already a little inferior to that of a mere indigenous apprentice, and Xia Duo has realized this.

……

At 5:30, a middle-aged mage came to the hall, and the entire hall was silent, and the apprentices who had not been assigned work were all surrounded, and Xia Duo was no exception.

"Okay, 45 apprentices left yesterday, and 26 new ones were added, involving the daily operation of this mage tower, the work of some of the original apprentices of the mage tower will also be adjusted, and I will report part of the work below, if you are willing, you will raise your hand, and those with experience are preferred."

I don't know if it's a spell, the middle-aged mage's voice is extraordinarily loud, and his voice echoes throughout the hall.

Xia Duo, on the other hand, was thinking about what kind of work he could adapt to, preferably one that he had free time from time to time, so that he could learn the color resistant script in his spare time.

But what would happen, he could only think about it, and in the end, it was the middle-aged mage in front of him who made the most decision.

"Arcane Garden, there are 5 people missing, experience in farming and taking care of plants is preferred!"

As soon as the words fell, seven or eight hands were raised, Xia Duo thought about it and raised his hands, there should be a lot of free time for farming and taking care of plants, and Xia Duo also has some experience.

Xia Duo had planted narcissus, bamboo, cactus, and raised fish before crossing the country, so he should be considered experienced, and he was in China, and he also passively accepted a lot of agricultural knowledge under the influence of his ears and eyes, and Xia Duo thought that he could adapt to this work.

The middle-aged mage casually clicked on 5 people, including Xia Duo, and called them aside, and then continued: "To deal with the spell casting materials, there are 16 people missing!" Relevant experience is preferred. ”

Bang, good guys, except for Xia Duo and the others, who had already been called to the side, the rest of them almost raised their hands.

The middle-aged mage called aside the man who didn't raise his hand and continued to ask, "There are 5 people in the kitchen for cooking." ”

Paddle away 5.

"In the material department, there is a shortage of 5 people, and there needs to be a foundation in writing and arithmetic."

Row 5 more.

After that, no one raised their hands, but 16 people who handled the spell casting materials were rowed away, and the rest were cleaning personnel, whether it was cleaning the inside of the mage tower or going to the laundry room to wash clothes.

Little Neil was picked around and ended up as a cleaning staff.

……

After the work was assigned, the middle-aged mage asked everyone to register their names, left a record, and then asked all the apprentices to arrange their own work, only saying that the attendance at the end of the month would not meet the standard deduction of wages.

Xia Duo noticed that the middle-aged mage deliberately stopped on him for a few seconds as he was leaving, as if he was looking at the name embroidered on his chest.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

……

The Arcane Garden, located on the second level of the Mage's Tower, is a sizable plain, and one of the four apprentices who traveled to the Arcane Garden with Xia Duo was a "named" official apprentice like him.

Along the way, the apprentice named Sami is quite talkative, almost subverting Xia Duo's impression of the apprentice of the Mage Tower again, but judging from Sammy's casual inquiry into Xia Duo's background, the apprentice of the Mage Tower is not as "deaf as Xia Duo thought before".

That's fine, but if they're all robot-like, it's scary to think about.

"By the way, Sammy, did you work in the Arcane Garden before? What do you generally do there? Shado asked.

"I haven't been there, but my brother used to work in the Arcane Garden, and the work there is not complicated, usually only one or two days a week will be tiring, and the rest of the days are usually to know about weeds, pests, etc."
