Tower of Time, first floor, corner of the hall.

Colin, the official apprentice, was teaching the mysteries of [Reading Magic] to the new apprentices who had joined the Mage Tower, and he spoke quickly, but with the help of the summoned light and shadow, the new apprentices did not feel too much difficulty.

It's just that the notes may not have time to be fully written.

Xia Duo listened very carefully, and remembered his notes very carefully, and the appearance of [Reading Magic] opened the door to a new world for him.

Before, under Xia Duo's own understanding, [Reading Magic] should be a special spell, but Colin's teaching made him really understand why [Reading Magic] can become the starting point and cornerstone of mages.

To be precise, [Reading Magic] is not a spell, but a skill that can be learned, improved, and optimized, and this skill is connected with [Spell Recognition] to form a unique body of knowledge.

First of all, touching the magic net is the first step, and without this premise, you don't have to think about everything in the future.

When Colin taught the skill of [Reading Magic], he showed some of the spell structures in front of the apprentices, what spell structure corresponds to what effect, and what spell structure is required for what effect, which is both [Spell Identification] and [Reading Magic].

The so-called spell structure is the method by which the caster manipulates the magic net, and after the summary of the predecessors, some fixed formulas have been formed.

There are many ways to express the structure of spells, such as vocal music, singing, incantations; action-oriented, dance, gestures, etc.; Artifact Pie, which uses magic equipment to assist in spell casting.

Of course, it's more minimalist, Faeron is not a peaceful world, the people of Chroma have pioneered the wilderness for nearly a thousand years, and there are not many pioneers so far, people need strength, the most convenient and swift power.

However, no matter which method of casting is chosen, the caster must concentrate and concentrate on casting, and any interference may interrupt the cast, or even cause serious backlash.

Therefore, most mages will match the safest and most concise way of casting spells according to their own habits, which is generally in the form of byte spells + simple gestures or magic equipment + byte spells.

Colin also taught several commonly used byte spells to aid in spell casting, and warned the apprentices that they must be able to discern which web structures they induce and what effects they might have when they hear them.

Any time for a mage is precious, and this is the deepest experience that Xia Duo has felt during his week in the Mage Tower.

Colin's class will not be like the classroom before Xia Duo's crossing, there is interaction between teachers and students, so that the teacher can always keep track of the status of the students, there is no interaction here.

Colin only talks about himself, and does not consider whether the apprentice can accept it, whether he understands it, and he does not emphasize the main points at all.

Fortunately, it's just an introductory class now, and everyone can still keep up, if it comes to the later courses, Xia Duo estimates that most of them may not be able to keep up, and they need extra kryptonite tutoring.

"If only there was a camera!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but reverie, but then he was dissatisfied with his wandering, and after pinching himself, he focused on what Colin was teaching, and kept taking notes in his hand.

After hours of class, Colin's voice was a little hoarse, and the budding apprentices below were even more uncomfortable, with an almost non-stop bombardment of dense information, and if you were not careful, you would miss parts.

Xia Duo also rubbed his wrist, he made a mistake today, he only brought a bottle of ink, but he didn't expect to run out of ink in just one lesson, and he took more than a dozen pages of notes.

If this continues, he will soon be short of consumables again.

A solution must be thought of as soon as possible!

Xia Duo is reluctant to sell questions now, and he finds that after the formal contact with the Fa, he has an endless number of questions to ask, and in addition to curiosity, there are also many questions that he cannot understand and need to answer.

Unless he is willing to fall behind in his studies, he will have to find another way to make a fortune, and this matter cannot be delayed.

"Apprentice Shado, do you have any questions for you?" Colin suddenly clicked to Shado.

Among the more than 20 people who chose this course this time, only Xia Duo was an official apprentice, and the others were not qualified to ask questions, so they could only look at Xia Duo at this time, praying in their hearts that the questions Xia Duo asked were also what they wanted to ask.

And Xia Duo was in a thousand thoughts at the moment, unable to sort it out, he had too many questions to ask, and it was like this, he didn't know what question to choose-

Ask if there is a rationale for the spell structure? This seems a bit ahead of its time, and maybe it will be talked about later.

Asking for information on the identification of [Reading Magic]? But this kind of information can already be counted as personal privacy, and whether Colin can say it is a question, and how much to say is another question.

……

Suddenly, Xia Duo thought of something, and immediately asked, "I want to ask how to learn spells, or what is the process of learning spells?" ”

Xia Duo's question surprised Colin a little, normally speaking, apprentices need to learn [read magic] before they start formal spell learning, Xia Duo's question is undoubtedly a bit ahead of its time.

Some of the other apprentices shook their heads, as if sorry for Chado's wasted an opportunity to ask questions, while others dipped their quill pens in ink, ready to record Colin's answers.

Xia Duo was also ready in his hands, looking at Colin expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"Well, it's a very simple question." Colin took two steps in the direction of the dining room before he began to answer—

"Today I talked about some of the basics of [Reading Magic], so when your [Spell Recognition] is enough, you can learn a magic through someone else's spell casting, and you can also learn it through someone else's description of the structure of a magic spell."

In this way, if the archmage saw a newly created low-level spell, he might be able to learn it instantly, but for Xia Duo's apprentice who didn't even enter the door, it was simply an empty word.

Fortunately, Colin continued: "And when your [Spell Identification] is not enough, you need a learning scroll, or an unencrypted spell book, through which you can read the full structure of a spell, and then master it with a lot of practice. ”

Xia Duo was overjoyed and asked, "How to practice?" ”

However, this time Colin did not answer again, but looked at the group of apprentices and said, "20 gold coins, I will tell you how to practice, and you can also trade privately." ”

“……”

Not only Xia Duo was speechless, but the other new apprentices were also a little speechless, they simply wanted money! However, once you accept this setting, it is still quite emotional, and the equivalent exchange is also the law of the world before Xia Duo crosses.

It's just that the pricing power is always in the hands of one party, and it is not an equal "value" exchange.

Xia Duo was not willing to accept the price, and he could not afford it, so he could ask again tomorrow anyway.

Seeing that Xia Duo didn't want to continue to ask questions, Colin immediately walked to the restaurant, not at all dragging his feet.

……

Colin was gone, the rest of the apprentices dispersed, and just as Shado was about to go to the dining room to get dinner, a group gathered around.
