A flash of white light flashed, and Xia Duo's eyes flickered, and he found himself at the door of the spell laboratory. Xia Duo took a deep breath, he finally knew what the grumpy old brother was yesterday.

He was also very irritable at this time, maybe he would be able to successfully perform the [Light Technique] soon, but at this critical moment, Ta Ling actually threw him out!

Xia Duo was so angry that he wanted to scold, but when he thought of the two lonely gold coins in his pocket, he immediately calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Duo returned to the dormitory, but he didn't expect an unexpected person waiting at his door-

It's little Neil.

For little Neil, Xia Duo has mixed feelings, both the friendship he got along with for most of the previous half a year, and his gratitude for actively teaching him the color language, but at the same time, Old Neil's approach also made Xia Duo angry.

- Life is precious, love is better, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown.

In the eyes of modern people, the most precious thing in the world may be freedom, old Neil actually wants to enslave him with outsiders, and even has already taken action, how can Xia Duo not be angry, how can he not want to kill him quickly.

In the long time since joining the Mage Tower, Xia Duo and Little Neil have both chosen the same course and see each other every day, but Xia Duo has never taken the initiative to say a word to him, and Little Neil seems to be a little evasive of Xia Duo.

Obviously, little Neil also knows something about his father's actions, but he hasn't explained a word about Xia Duo, even if it's just an explanation, Xia Duo will not be so indifferent.

"Get out of the way!"

"Shado—I'd like to learn color-resistant writing from you." Little Neil's face was confused, his head was buried very low, and his voice was very small, if it weren't for the quiet environment in the dormitory area, Xia Duo would almost not be able to hear it.

"Hehe, didn't old Neil teach you how to do it when you came?"

"I've taught, but I've run out of gold with me." Little Neil's voice grew more and more subtle.

Heh-

Xia Duo sneered in his heart, he came to him when the gold coins ran out, did he really treat him as a slave? I was very disappointed with Neil Jr.'s performance, and I was not interested in talking to him.

Push him open and you're about to get in.

Little Neil hurriedly grabbed Xia Duo's sleeve, "Xia Duo, I also taught you Na Se language!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Duo frowned, and the only trace of affection in his heart dissipated, "Let's go, and give you a final suggestion, go to the library's No. 25 transcription room to find Edrich." ”

After saying that, he forcibly tore Neil's hand away, pushed him away, walked into the dormitory, and closed the door.

Xia Duo does not regret his decision, but because he is in another world, his decisions are always well thought out. He and Neil Jr. may have gotten along well, but it's not necessarily how good they are.

Having just arrived in a strange world, Xia Duo can only behave very friendly in order to protect himself, and even deliberately make everyone think that he is a very kind person.

If you really want to talk about it, the hearts of people who are not of my race must be different, which is Xia Duo's truest thoughts.

It's just that if you act too much, you will also set limits on yourself, and today's performance of Little Neil completely made Xia Duo see his heart clearly.

……

Because the previous practice of spells was interrupted, and after such a bad thing as little Neil, Xia Duo did not continue to study spells, but began to read the biography of the archmage to deepen his understanding and memory of the Naishi script.

The next day, the Arcane Garden began a new round of sowing, and Xia Duo still showed up in the past, and then went to the shade to do his own business.

In the afternoon, we will continue with Colin's "Overview of Ring 0 Spells", of course, the overview part has long ended, and this week we will talk about [Reading Magic] and Spell Analysis part.

After class, Xia Duo asked questions at his own pace, Colin answered, and also received the honorarium of Donald and others, but Xia Duo noticed that there was a personnel change in the Donald Five-

The inspirational man was gone, replaced by an apprentice wearing the same refined robe as Donald, and now the style of the five people was unified.

However, Xia Duo didn't care who they replaced, as long as there were gold coins for him.

……

The life of the Mage Tower is extremely regular, similar to that of Xia Duo in high school, but he is much more committed than he was in high school. Time passed like this, and Xia Duo lived extremely full.

Two months have passed.

During this time, Xia Duo had mastered the [Light Technique] and was able to release it in a breath or two. In addition to [Illumination], Xia Duo also exchanged for [Acid Splash] and [Healing] learning scrolls.

[Acid Splash] is a classic apprentice-level magic that adds a touch of magical attack ability to oneself, while [Repair] is the key to the promotion of ordinary apprentices to full-fledged apprentices.

This promotion is not an increase in the cast level, but only a level increase within the Mage Tower.

Becoming an official apprentice gives you access to many new privileges, such as free access to the Mage Tower, exchange for learning scrolls, more classes, after-class questions, and most importantly, unlock the Mage Tower quest system.

Mage is a very expensive profession, Xia Duo has a deep understanding, ordinary apprentices are basically similar to servants, the salary is very low, and there is no extra money, among them, after the excellent become a formal apprentice, it can be regarded as really joining the mage tower, and there is a real opportunity to make money.

For example, concocting simple spell potions, copying magic scrolls from the apprenticeship stage, patrolling with the territory army, investigating territory anomalies, and so on.

Without these tasks, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to stick to it anymore, and even rich people need these tasks to exercise and earn a few bucks by the way.

In the past two months, Xia Duo has earned nearly 200 gold coins just by copying the [Light Technique] scroll, but he has earned more and spent more, and he is now able to master [Acid Sputter] and [Light Technique] proficiently, relying on soaking in the spell laboratory for a while every day.

Coupled with the need to replenish study consumables, borrow books from the library, and earn gold coins by answering questions and solving problems for ordinary apprentices, Xia Duo would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.

Now his main focus is [Repair Technique], and now he may not be as good as Dean on the foundation, but he is far ahead of Dean in terms of the speed of learning [Repair Technique].

One has a learning scroll, and all the details of the spell are at your disposal, while the other can only be learned by self-study and asking for advice, and the progress is a few miles slower!

……

Before the "lights out" that night, Xia Duo had just sent off the Donald Five who had come to "make up for class" in the dormitory, and someone knocked on the door again, Xia Duo opened the door and saw that it was Dean.

"Dean, what's up with you? You've been promoted to a full-fledged apprentice?! ”

Xia Duo was surprised to find that Dean had changed into a brand new mage robe, and his name was embroidered on his left chest, it turned out that he had passed the assessment of the mage tower quietly and was successfully promoted!

"Alas, I regret it! I knew I wouldn't be promoted now, alas—"

Although he has achieved his dream for two years, Dean is not happy at all at this moment, but with a face full of frustration and reluctance.

"What's wrong?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

It was the first time he had seen Dean so depressed, and he didn't know what it was, was it Dean himself, or the Mage Tower? Will it affect him?
