Study Group No. 103
Chardo's Mithril pen was extremely fluid, with the tip gliding across the parchment with little resistance, a sensation that reminded him of ballpoint pens on Earth.
Unfortunately, this Mithril pen still needs to be written by dipping it in ink, rather than storing the ink inside the Mithril pen, similar to the structure of a fountain pen.
Fortunately, the comfortable writing feel made Xia Duo ignore this little problem, but after having a good writing pen, Xia Duo thought of ink again.
The ink he now uses on a daily basis is only the most ordinary kind, and he has even mixed it with water, which makes him feel that this inferior ink does not match the delicate Mithril pen in his hand.
It's just that ink is the most important consumable for mages, and if you really want to find good and expensive ones, it's a bottomless pit.
Let's just say that the red graphite liquid that was given with the Mithril pen last time contained a kind of redstone ore that is not unusual, and the retail price in the store is as high as 20 gold coins per bottle.
More advanced inks will even use gem powder and the blood of magical beasts.
That's not what the current Xia Duo can achieve.
However, Xia Duo is not an ascetic who has no emotions and six desires, on the contrary, he has too many desires, and he enjoys it, so if he has the conditions, he can improve his living environment and learning tools a little, why not!
After making up his mind to dispose of the magic items, he treated himself a little, looking at the words and graphics on the notes that were already very familiar, Xia Duo entered the state of research.
Now that the strong light in the Arcane Garden could no longer interfere with him, he didn't know how long time had passed, and Xia Duo suddenly found that there were two people standing not far in front of him.
Although they were in the shade of the same apple tree as Shado, he noticeably darkened the light on Chado's side.
"Sammy, Devine! How long have you been here? ”
"When I first came, I didn't bother you when I saw that you were in a trance."
"By the way, what are you looking for me?"
"This-" Sammy suddenly became a little embarrassed, and turned his head to look at Devahn, then took a bag of gold coins from the inner pocket of his robe and placed it on the Chardo's body, "We would like to ask you to guide some questions. ”
At the same time, Devan also took out a bag of gold coins and echoed, "Yes, yes. ”
Xia Duo stretched out his hand, picked up these two bags of gold coins, stood up, and turned it upside down, there are still a lot of weights, I'm afraid there are not hundreds, it seems that the two of them have made a lot of money.
"I can't guarantee that you can answer any questions you want to ask."
"We'd like to ask some questions about the principles of spells and the nature of the web." Sammy and Dvane said in unison.
Xia Duo was happy when he heard it, these two people wanted to become official mages! Sure enough, he is not the only one who has the idea, determination, and ability to act.
Thinking of an idea from last night, Xia Duo decided to agree without much thought, but returned the gold coin in his hand, "I have a better idea now, do you want to hear it?" ”
"What thoughts?"
"I've decided to set up a study group where anyone in the group can ask questions to the other members and answer them as long as they can, but of course these questions are limited to the realm of magic, what do you think?"
This idea actually existed when he first joined the Mage Tower, but at that time, he simply did not have the confidence to set up such an organization, and it was impossible for others to believe it.
It wasn't until last night that he decided to be a little more aggressive.
Now, he has enough confidence to set up such an organization among the apprentices, and he believes that the apprentices who have tasted the sweetness of mutual help will not give up easily.
Sammy and Devane listened to Shado's words and froze straight in place, they had never seen or thought of a mutual study group.
"Is this okay? Won't the Mage Tower stop it? ”
This is indeed what Xia Duo is worried about, but if the scope of the support group is limited to apprentices, and the content of the exchange does not involve specific spells, only the principles of spells and the nature of the magic web.
That's a lot less of a problem.
Of course, it is also possible that this is even encouraged by the Mage Tower, and no one can predict it until it is actually done, but it is certain that communication can promote progress, and even if it is for his own sake, Xia Duo will get the study group out.
"We haven't violated any prohibitions, so what's the reason for the Mage Tower to stop it!"
Xia Duoqiang pretended to be confident, and his tone was very firm, "If you want to become a full-fledged mage as soon as possible, the Mutual Study Group is your best opportunity. ”
Sammy and Devane were still hesitating, they weren't sure what the consequences of joining such an organization would be, when Shado added fuel to the fire again, "I can become an official mage in another year at the latest!" ”
"What?!"
The shocked expression on Sammy's face, as well as the money bag that fell from Devain's hand, illustrate the shock in the hearts of the two, Sammy knows Shado better than Devane:
"Didn't you just join the Mage Tower this year? And I remember you just learned the chromophoric script before? How-"
"How do you want to become an official mage so soon, right?" Xia Duo took over, "The Chromoides have little to do with magic, they are just a kind of writing used to record knowledge. The essence of magic is there, eternal and unchanging, even if it is written down in orc language, it still makes no difference. ”
Sammy was speechless, and Dvarn was silent.
After a long time, Sammy spoke, in a longing tone with a trill, "Can I become a full-fledged mage by joining a study group?" ”
Devane also looked at Shado expectantly, as if he wanted to get an affirmative answer from him.
But Xia Duo shook his head, he understood the truth that people's hearts were insufficient and he had to get Long Wangshu, so he wouldn't promise anything easily, and he knew that the two of them were already tempted, and he wasn't afraid that they wouldn't join.
"I can't guarantee that you'll become a full-fledged mage if you join the study group, but for sure, there's nothing to lose by joining, is there?"
"Let's join!" Sammy and Sammy immediately said, "Shall we ask you now?" ”
Xia Duo shook his head again, he did not organize the study group to send warmth to the people of the other world for free, but wanted to gain a certain wing in this way, as well as a perspective of thinking outside of himself.
Therefore, the necessary rules should be established.
"I'm not in a hurry to ask in advance, I think it's better to improve some details of the study group first, there must be more than three of us in the group, you don't want to have any personal time, and be asked questions everywhere you go."
"This-" Sammy felt that Shado should be saying that they were disturbing his personal time, but after all, Shado took the initiative, and they had to choose to accept it.
"Okay. When was the study group officially formed? ”
"If I don't have classes in the afternoon, I'll rent a spell lab and discuss it later."
After saying that, Xia Duo sat down under the tree again, and ignored them, and joined the study group this kind of thing must be willing, without any resistance.
Now that the bait has been released, being too active will lead to self-defeating and loss of authority.
