Chapter 25: The First Lesson, The Legend
Regarding the afternoon lessons, Xia Duo consulted with Taling, and the apprentices can decide for themselves according to their own learning pace, and generally the apprentices who have just entered the Mage Tower will be taught by some excellent formal apprentices in the hall on the first floor.
Further, you can choose to join the official mage's course, no need to apply, but the official mage will not change the progress of a specific person, if you can't keep up, you will either drop out of the course or listen to it until the course is repeated again.
By asking Taling, you can get a list of courses offered by various official mages, and Xia Duo has a general understanding, including detailed explanations of a specific spell, about the structure of magic nets, about the manufacture of magic items, and even special mage etiquette classes and elf etiquette classes.
However, these have nothing to do with Xia Duo for the time being, his current magic foundation is almost 0, and he hasn't even passed the text level, so how can he be in the mood to think about anything else.
The only options available to him now are the most basic "Magical Initiation Class", taught by a full-fledged apprentice named Garner in the hall on the first floor.
……
In the hall on the first floor of the Tower of Time, although the previous official mage steward had mentioned that 26 new apprentices had been added this year, when Xia Duo came here, there were less than 10 of them.
Little Neil also appeared among them, Xia Duo was not surprised, he was aware of it as early as when he entered the tower assessment, except for him, everyone else had more or less money at home, and it didn't cost much to invite an apprentice who had given up the magic path and left the mage tower to enlighten in advance.
12:30 p.m.
Ganar, the official apprentice who was teaching, appeared in the hall on the first floor, glanced around, and finally stopped at Xia Duo, Xia Duo was helpless, he now only has the name of a formal apprentice, and has no formal apprenticeship ability, staying around a group of unenlightened people, it is indeed quite conspicuous.
However, in the face of Garner's gaze, Xia Duo still looked at him very generously, he did have shortcomings, but he was working hard to improve, and there was nothing unpleasant.
Fortunately, Garner only watched for a while, and then began today's lecture, without any ridicule or blows.
"Guys, since you have chosen to join the Mage Tower, then you can't waste these three years, otherwise why don't you just go to the town and find some other work? Since you have a dream of the path of magic, you must put all your energy into it, and don't waste your family's efforts. ”
"Today's lesson won't cover any magical knowledge, but I'll tell you about the experience of living, studying, and working in the Mage Tower, as well as the stories of several legendary figures."
Garnar's first lesson did not start directly with magic, but first told everyone about the things that need to be paid attention to in daily life and work in the Mage Tower, and then brought a little encouragement and prospects.
The experience of a formal apprenticeship was also invaluable to Chado, who eagerly absorbed the experience of Garner and took into account his own specificity, leaving notes on parchment from time to time.
And the legendary stories told by Garner also brought great spiritual inspiration to Chado.
Archmage Darth Riel was a farmer until he was 30 years old, until he accidentally obtained a magical enlightenment book when he was 30 years old, but he did not choose to sell the book to improve his life.
Instead, he spent a lot of money to learn the written word from scratch, during which even his son laughed at him, thinking that it was extremely ridiculous that a peasant should want to become a mage.
But Dasriel never gave up, and in the face of the doubts of his family and the ridicule of his neighbors, he could only secretly use the little spare time in his farming time to learn from the scholars in the city.
People were amazed that Darth Riel entered the town with a cart of dry wood and did not return with the silver coins, and so on, day after year, when Darsriel unleashed his first 0-ring magic at the age of 35, his life changed.
When the local lord learned the story of a farmer who became a mage through self-education, he invested in him and brought him into the Mage's Tower, and from then on Darth Riel was unstoppable on the path of magic.
At the age of 45, the orcs invaded Darthriel's hometown, and at the moment of crisis, Darsriel descended from the sky with a flood of magic, and it was then learned that he had become a noble archmage.
And many believe that Archmage Darth Riel will become a legend.
The legend of Dasriel had been told by adventurers at the Old Neil Inn before, but the adventurers' stories were more scattered and exaggerated, and they were not as vivid and true as Garner's.
In addition to Archmage Darsriel, Garner also tells the story of the Grand Arcanist Congenio, who invented the Ainstone hundreds of years ago and is still alive today.
It is also vivid and touching, which makes Xia Duo yearn for it.
However, to Shado's surprise, Iorem's name was not mentioned by Garner, and in the context of the game that Shado played before Shado's crossing, the name Iorham was the name most closely associated with Nessreel.
When it comes to Nesser, we have to mention the Floating City, which truncates the peaks of the mountains, turns them upside down, and builds the Cloud City on them.
What can support a mountain peak in and out of the clouds?
The answer is the Mithic nucleus invented by Eolem.
However, Shado has never heard of the Floating City so far, and it is clear that the Mithic Core has not yet been invented, and Shado does not know when the Mithor Core was invented by Iolem.
But before this time, Ioram should not be a lonely person, not to mention the legend that the ancestor of Lord Savile, the Grand Arcanist Savile, was a student of Iorem.
Previously, Garner mentioned that he wanted to tell the story of the legendary person, and Xia Duo was expecting the story of Iolem to appear, but he didn't expect to mention it.
For the Mither Energy Core and the Floating City, Xia Duo is extremely longing, if he can't control the various planes of the Floating City when he comes to Nessreel, it will be a trip in vain.
……
Time flickered, and half a day passed. At around 5 p.m., Garner was ready to end the day's lesson, and before that was the end of the daily Q&A session.
Even if it is a formal apprenticeship, there will be a question session, but usually the target of formal apprenticeship is ordinary apprentices, so it can often be ignored, but today there is a Xia Duo.
Garner did not ignore Xia Duo, but directly named him, "Apprentice Xia Duo, do you have any questions to ask?" ”
The other seven or eight ordinary apprentices immediately looked at Xia Duo with a look of envy, Xia Duo actually had a lot of questions to ask in his heart, he didn't have the ability to communicate with real formal apprentices on an equal footing, so he could only take the opportunity to ask questions.
But not today, he agreed with Dean yesterday to help him ask him questions about [Repair] to the official mage, although Garner is not an official mage, he can become a formal apprentice, it should not be difficult to answer this question, but I don't know if he will answer questions outside the course.
"I'll promise an apprentice to ask him a question about [Prosthetics], is that okay?"
Garner was not surprised in the slightest, he had seen too much of this kind of trading personal questioning opportunity, "Yes, but I can only answer one question. ”
