Chapter 34: Redeeming Penalties with Gold and Exchanging Scrolls

On the first day of entering the Mage Tower, Xia Duo asked Ta Ling about many rules of the Mage Tower, one of which was that it was not allowed to make loud noises in the library, as the transcription room was not soundproofed.

What people who read and copy books there need most is a quiet environment, and now—

Sure enough, several of the apprentices had already rushed out of the transcription room with angry faces, and the mage was good at focusing, but that didn't mean they liked noise pollution.

Shador saw one of them running towards the Administrator, and the others gathered around, as if preparing to make a move.

However, just as Xia Duo was about to see if there would be a brawl, two white lights flashed, and the angry brother disappeared, and another white light appeared in another group of people.

"What's wrong?"

"Knowles has triggered the ban!"

"Knowles is ready to unleash the [Tremor Shock]!"

"Poor Knowles, I don't think he'll be bankrupt before the end of the month!"

"Haha!"

……

After a few whispers, the apprentices dispersed and returned to the transcription room.

The library was quite quiet without the angry brother, and Xia Duo clearly heard the complaints not far away, and he knew what punishment the two official apprentices who disappeared would get.

Fines!

This result made Xia Duo shocked and angry, this kind of rule of using gold coins to offset punishment is really realistic, if Xia Duo is rich, of course he is very happy, but he is not.

Fortunately, most mages are rational and orderly, and as long as there is no conflict of interest, it will not affect Xia Duo.

But this feeling of pinning one's own safety on the rationality of others is really unpleasant, and besides, God knows if there will be some unwarranted disaster that will hit Xia Duo's head, such as being affected by some runaway experiment or something.

In the final analysis, the order here is different from the original earth, and Xia Duo himself is not strong enough.

……

Hurriedly leaving the library floor, Xia Duo did not return to the dormitory, but came to the public floor, he was about to exchange a magic scroll, when he was registering, Master Leonard mentioned that he would be given the right to exchange the magic scroll 10 times 0 times.

Before, Xia Duo didn't go to exchange it because he didn't know much about magic, but now, he just asked Colin in the afternoon, as long as he learned the skill of [Reading Magic], he couldn't recognize enough algorithms, and he could also learn by learning scrolls or unencrypted spell books.

As for how to practice, Dean had just shown him how.

The thought of being able to get the magic scroll right away and start teaching himself, Xia Duo's heart was extremely hot, and he finally began to master the power.

Although he knew in his heart that learning from the scroll was always a poor imitation, he might not be able to understand why it was the way it was, and what the principles and rules were between the different structures.

The difference between having a scroll and not having a scroll is huge, and if Dean had a [Restoration] learning scroll, he would probably have become a full-fledged apprentice long ago.

However, the Learning Scroll must first be a formal apprentice before it can be redeemed, a rule similar to Catch-22 that almost forces all apprentices to be geniuses.

Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to become a full-fledged apprentice, you may not be able to see how far you can go in the future.

Generally, if it doesn't work for three years, most of them give up.

Xia Duo was able to obtain the learning scroll at the beginning of his studies, which is definitely a big advantage.

……

Public Floor, No. 6 Material Claim Office.

By asking Taling, Xia Duo determined that this material application office was next to the elevator on the public floor, but it was not the one that Xia Duo usually used, and he had never paid attention to it before.

The first time I came here, I was still a little nervous, because this claim office is specially used for the collection or purchase of finished products such as magic equipment, scrolls, and potions.

Inside was a full-fledged mage, as well as a full-fledged apprentice, and when Xia Duo came in, the two were counting supplies, and when they saw Xia Duo coming in, the apprentice immediately asked:

"Apprentice Shado? Didn't you come here often before, was it a scroll or a potion? 10 gold for scrolls and 20 gold for potions, how many? ”

Xia Duo didn't quite understand what he meant, and hurriedly said what he meant, "I want to exchange for a study scroll." ”

"Huh-"

The official mage let out a cry of surprise and turned his head, "You're the apprentice that Master Leonard brought back?" ”

"It's me."

Xia Duo was a little frightened, he didn't want any relationship with the official mage, for him now, what he wanted most was to be a little transparent, and no one should pay attention to him.

Especially a formal mage, whether it is good or bad, he can't afford it for a newcomer who has just entered the magic field.

"Don't be nervous, I just asked casually, I heard that Master Leonard was sent out by the lord on a mission, but I didn't expect to bring back an apprentice and give me the exchange permission, I'm a little curious."

The more kind the mage's attitude became, the more frightened Xia Duo became, but he also had to bite the bullet and say, "I'm just an ordinary person, and Master Leonard just brought me back by the way." ”

Xia Duo's words are not false, he was indeed brought back by the way, but there is no need to talk about the transaction between Mu Yan and Leonard.

Seeing Xia Duo's restrained appearance, the mage did not delve into it, but mentioned Xia Duo's intention, "Say, what scroll are you going to exchange?" ”

"A [Light Technique] learning scroll." Xia Duo hurriedly replied.

This was something he had thought about before he came, and although he really wanted to learn an offensive spell, it was a beginner after all, and it was self-taught, so he had to take the risks into account.

The spell laboratory is not omnipotent, what will happen if the attacking spell gets out of control, Xia Duo still has no bottom in his heart.

It is better to start with the [Illumination], he asked Dean about the [Illumination] is the easiest magic for an apprentice to master.

Listening to Xia Duo's request, the official mage's lips twitched, as if he was communicating with Taling, but he quickly determined Xia Duo's authority, turned around and took out a scroll from the shelf behind him, and handed it to Xia Duo.

Xia Duo hurriedly took the learning scroll, and at the same time, a familiar hollow mechanical voice sounded in his ears, "Apprentice Xia Duo, exchange for a [Light Technique] learning scroll, exchange permission -1." ”

Looking at the other two people in the room, the apprentice had already begun to count the supplies, while the mage looked at Xia Duo with a kind face.

"Did you hear the Taling?"

"Hmm."

"The deal is done. A word of advice to you, don't be overly obsessed with the effects of spells, the principles and rules contained in it are the real knowledge, which is what we mages are pursuing. ”

It seemed that seeing Xia Duo's thirst for power, this mage even mentioned Xia Duo.

"Yes, I'll remember, thank you, Master Mage."

"You don't need to call me Master Mage, in front of the truth, we are all apprentices, I am Jose, if you are interested in taking elven language, you can take my class."

"Yes."

"Let's get out."

Although this Jose mage made a good impression on him, as long as he thought that the other party was a full-fledged mage who could easily kill him if he wanted to, Xia Duo could not afford to have any closeness.

I am still too weak, not only weak in strength, but also weak in knowledge, but if there is a strong word, I can have a certain amount of support, not such a dispensable apprentice now.

However, Master Jose's advice Xia Duo still remembered it, this is actually his original intention, but it is also necessary to obtain the power of self-preservation in the early stage, Xia Duo has his own plan, and he will not be easily shaken.
