And what Xia Duo is thinking about at the moment is how to make full use of the qualifications to ask questions, and the cooperation with Donald's side can be said to be downstream, if it is really for them to ask questions, Xia Duo will be very disadvantaged.

Upstream should be some high-motivated, close to formal apprentices ordinary apprentices, who want to ask questions of formal mages or excellent teaching apprentices, but suffer from lack of qualifications, no channels, or can't afford to pay the price, now with Xia Duo, they don't have to worry.

If they are willing to answer questions for Xia Duo, then Xia Duo is naturally willing to ask questions to those who are able to do so for them.

The content of the upstream transaction can naturally circulate downstream, and Xia Duo is the middleman.

This can be regarded as Xia Duo's unique resource, and other formal apprentices either don't need ordinary apprentices at all, or the price of inviting them is too high for ordinary apprentices to accept.

The same is the qualification to ask questions, and the psychological price that Xia Duo can accept is definitely much lower than that of other formal apprentices.

The appearance of Xia Duo forcibly opened up all the classes in the mage tower-

New Apprentices, General Ordinary Apprentices, Ordinary Apprentices, Formal Apprentices, Formal Mages.

Originally, ordinary apprentices who were on the doorstep wanted to become formal apprentices, and there was basically no need for the lower classes, or the cost was too great; The situation is similar for formal apprentices, who all want to move up to the next level.

Xia Duo's demand for new apprentices is gold, and the need for other classes is knowledge, which may not have much intersection with formal apprentices, but can have intersections with other classes.

If you are a middleman, you can make the difference.

But after thinking about it, Xia Duo also wanted to become a real official apprentice, or even a formal mage, so he was still a little complacent when he thought about it, and he suddenly calmed down.

There's still work to be done!

……

The basic process of being a middleman has been determined, but to really implement it, you must not only be able to get a certain price difference, but also try to fit your own learning progress and not delay yourself.

Acquiring knowledge for the upstream will inevitably affect his normal learning progress, and he needs to get it back from them, which is equivalent to the other party exchanging low-level knowledge for the key knowledge that Xia Duo asked, and this balance needs to be mastered.

Sell it at a low price downstream, gain low-level knowledge upstream, and obtain gold coins that can be used to maintain daily consumption.

Xia Duo will not forget his goal, obtaining enough power to protect himself is the first place, making money, or making the difference or something is just an auxiliary, and he can't do things that are big because of small losses.

For the time being, Dean is still a good partner to work with, and the knowledge he needs doesn't necessarily have to be asked by Xia Duo to find a formal mage, but only needs to find an apprentice to teach.

As for the future, if Dean can successfully become a full-fledged apprentice, then Xia Duo will have to find another ordinary apprentice who is in a bottleneck state, and if not, he can continue to cooperate.

After returning to the dormitory level, Xia Duo approached Dean to promote his cooperation plan, where Dean happened to need Xia Duo's help, and the two hit it off.

After deciding on the cooperation plan, Xia Duo immediately asked, "Dean, can you tell me how to practice spellcasting?" ”

"Yes." Dean didn't refuse, but in fact, he was a little resistant in his heart, just because the faster Xia Duo progressed, the less he needed him, and there was no need to ask him about the knowledge he lacked.

However, despite his resistance, Dean had no other choice, he knew that if he didn't want to, Xia Duo could find someone else, and he was not the only apprentice stuck on the threshold.

"Practicing spellcasting, or just spellcasting, is actually the same thing, but the practice may not be able to activate spells smoothly, and spellcasting is prohibited in the dormitory area, let's go to the spell practice room."

"Then I'm bothering you."

"It's not a hassle, I also happen to have some gains, and I want to verify it."

That being said, Dean was still a little distressed, because the cost of renting a spell casting practice room must have been out of his pocket.

……

On the way to the library floor, Xia Duo was not willing to give up this time, he had a question during the initiation class, but that question was still far away from Xia Duo, and the question was to be sold, so Xia Duo never asked.

The cooperation between Xia Duo and Dean, if there is no accident, will continue until Dean becomes an official apprentice, and Xia Duo doesn't care if he asks one more question whether Dean suffers, anyway, he doesn't suffer a loss.

"Dean, do you know mental powers?"

"Spirit? Force? Dean was puzzled, "What kind of power is this?" ”

Xia Duo explained to Dean the concept of spiritual power, because this word was coined by Xia Duo in the language of Resistance, and there is no word for spiritual power in the language of Resistance.

Hearing Xia Duo's explanation, Dean also showed a little interest, "The soul is certain, and the soul does have power, which is not a specific power, but a description." ”

"Oh? What power does the soul have? ”

"I don't know about this, I just happened to read it in a book, but I can tell you for sure that I don't have the kind of spiritual power you described, and all the apprentices and mages I know don't have that kind of power."

Xia Duo muttered that it was impossible to say that he was not interested in a world with magic, and that he was most concerned about the principles of magic. Before the crossing, he wrote online articles, and he was naturally no stranger to the statement of spiritual power.

Being able to cast spells, control the movement of objects, and even invade the brain domain and hallucinate are all attributes of mental power in the novel, but such mental power does not seem to exist in the real magical world.

Of course, it is impossible for Xia Duo to think that what Dean said is necessarily correct, but at the moment, even a mage may not have the kind of spiritual power that Xia Duo thinks.

"And what do you think is the principle of spellcasting?"

"Focus! I guess I've already talked about the enlightenment lesson. Dean was puzzled.

"I know, the three elements of spellcasting, knowledge, magic web, and concentration, but what I want to know is, why can you cast spells through concentration? Why don't you just think about it and cast a spell? ”

This is what Xia Duo has always questioned, in Xia Duo's opinion, focus is just an adjective used to describe the state, and casting spells with concentration is like filling your stomach with red, which is difficult to understand as an earthling.

However, Dean didn't seem to find it difficult to understand at all, "Focus is concentration, and if you can cast a spell just by thinking about it, then the magic is going to get out of control." ”

After thinking for a while, Dean said: "Concentration is the basis for us to contact and manipulate the magic web, just like throwing a stone will eventually fall, what is incomprehensible. ”

Huh-

Xia Duo suddenly glanced at Dean, the example that Dean gave was simply too gravitational and direct, and thinking of the law of gravity, Xia Duo instantly understood that he was drilling the horns of the bull.

In the pre-world science and technology, people always like to find the root of the problem, but in the end it will still come down to an inexplicable point, for example, why is the law of the universe like this and not like that?

Even the greatest scientists can't explain such a problem, and in the wizarding world, focusing on the laws of the world is the law of the world, and it is possible to summarize the deeper laws, but it is a bit of a stretch to ask why the laws are the way they are.

Looking back on his psychology again, Xia Duo knew why he was so entangled in concepts such as principles and laws, which came from the uneasiness of being in another world.

Having seen the world before he crossed over, he was full of anxiety about the world that he couldn't understand now, and it was because of this that he couldn't wait to gain the power to protect himself.

It's not just because of the anxiety about personal safety, but also because of the subconscious anxiety about the world.

Knowing this psychology, Xia Duo didn't ask Dean too distant questions, but focused on the present, and set a small goal first-

Make the title of official apprentice worthy of the name!
