Chapter 112: Donald
"Xia Duo, what about my current store? Do you want to turn it off? Edrich asked suddenly.
Although he has now rekindled his hopes of learning magic, he is still a little reluctant to open the shop for two years, and it is always a pity to give up.
Xia Duo looked at his tangled appearance and couldn't help but persuade, "The shop is open in the mage tower, in fact, it is constantly taking money from the lord's pocket, if you really want to continue to walk the path of magic, the shop should be closed!" ”
"Huh?"
Edrich was in a trance, and then he remembered that his father had said something similar to him, but at that time he only thought that his father was discouraged from him, and he didn't expect Xia Duo to say the same!
The persuasion of his companions was more convincing than that of his elders, and although Eldridge couldn't figure it out for a while, he decided to follow Xia Duo's advice.
"I see, I'll get rid of the store as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Edritch was so obedient, Xia Duo was also a little proud in his heart, in fact, a retail store was nothing at all, what he was doing now was called digging the corner of the mage tower!
……
After dinner, the study group separated, and Xia Duo returned to his nest.
In front of the desk, Xia Duo opened his notes and began to summarize the teaching points of the apprenticeship stage, as well as recommended books, for the theoretical books of the apprenticeship stage of the Mage Tower, Xia Duo was actually very dissatisfied, not only missing parts, but also disorganized.
The specific books are even more inappropriately detailed, and they are not suitable as basic textbooks at all.
There was even a moment when he wanted to compile a set of apprenticeship textbooks by himself, but he gave up on this kind of showmanship.
For the time being, it is sufficient to maintain communication within a small circle.
And when Xia Duo summarized the main points, he was actually silently sorting out his magic system, and if he wanted to go further, he had to lay a firmer foundation.
The next day, in the hall on the first floor of the Mage Tower, the apprentices gathered together, waiting for the arrival of the internal mage to arrange the work, many people were notified yesterday to adjust the work, but there were also many people who did not need to adjust.
Shado mingled in the crowd, and the most heard was the desire to move to the public floor when adjusting his work, and a few people also talked about the apprentices who died because of the orc tide, but most people didn't care about them.
After all, after these people died, they had the opportunity to adjust their work.
At this time, Xia Duo felt extremely lucky, they did not encounter any orcs beyond the norm once, although a few times were indeed dangerous, but in the end they were successfully resolved.
"Shado, Shado."
Hearing someone whispering his name behind his back, Xia Duo looked back and saw that it was Donald, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Donald, what's the matter with me?"
"I saw you the day before yesterday."
"See me? Ceremony? ”
"yes, I see you, and Dean." There was an inexplicable taste in Donald's words, Xia Duo entered the mage tower with him, and Dean was originally an ordinary apprentice, but he didn't expect the two of them to survive the orc tide and get a reward from the lord.
However, instead of continuing the topic, he asked:
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm not going to change, I'd better stay in the Arcane Garden." Xia Duo didn't hide it, after all, he would know after a little inquiry.
Donald's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Xia Duo, can I go to the Arcane Garden?" ”
"If you want to go, you can go, I can't decide anything."
At this time, Xia Duo had already guessed what Donald wanted to do, and he did not refuse Donald who came up, and the study group was short of reserves.
"Great!" Donald's eyebrows almost fluttered, "I used to work in the materials department, and although there were mages coming there every day, those mages all had a straight face, and we didn't dare to say hello, let alone ask questions. ”
"It's the same with the Arcane Garden, the steward is only busy with his own business, and never cares about us."
"Uh-" Donald was a little stunned, did he have to admit that he was going to Chador? Although there was this idea, the young man was thin-skinned after all and did not say it directly.
The two chatted a few more words, and the housekeeper came from the direction of the elevator.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, leaving only the voice of the internal mage, "Due to the loss of some apprentices, some of the work needs to be rearranged, and apprentices with relevant experience are preferred." ”
At this time, Xia Duo remembered that he had joined the Mage Tower for so long, and he had only learned to make simple magic scrolls in terms of work, and he didn't know anything else such as handling materials and making potions.
And chores such as cooking, laundry, and mopping the floor, he is even more reluctant to do them.
Now it seems that it is indeed the Arcane Garden that is the most suitable for him!
Due to the shortage of some "quality jobs", there was no competition for Shado in the Arcane Garden, and this time Sammy, Dvarn, and Dean were all successfully offered jobs in the Arcane Garden.
As for Edrich, perhaps because of the merchant image he had always presented, even the internal mage seemed to have forgotten about this man and did not arrange a job for him at all.
It's like a transparent person.
Most of the more than thirty ordinary apprentices in the Arcane Garden have stayed in the Arcane Garden, and only a few have chosen to adjust their work, but except for the new Donald, no one else has added to it.
The current Arcane Garden, including the regular apprentices of Xia Duo, is less than thirty people in total.
Perhaps this orc tide really killed a lot of apprentices.
……
After adjusting his work, the housemage drifted away, and Xia Duo made a beeline for the elevator and headed for the Arcane Garden.
When I arrived, I found that Edridge, a transparent man, had already arrived first, and was squatting not far from the mage on duty, drawing something randomly on the ground with his fingers.
Seeing Xia Duo, Edrich immediately got up and greeted him, "Xia Duo! Sammy! You're finally here! ”
When the apprentices who had come with Chateau saw Edrich, they wondered, "Why is he here?" ”
"Could it be that Eldridge is also going to work in the Arcane Garden?"
"It's Shado! He's with Chado! ”
……
Xia Duo ignored the whispers of the apprentices, and after reporting to the mage on duty, he walked in the direction of the orchard, and the members of the study group behind him hurriedly followed.
As for the ordinary apprentices, who went into the building behind the mage on duty, changed clothes, picked up tools, and prepared to work, Donald, who witnessed all this, was even more convinced that it would be beneficial to follow Shado.
Eldridge is the clearest example of this, and before today, who would have thought that the apprentice merchant who had overrun the transcription room would come to the Arcane Garden?
"Hey! You! What kind of flute! Hurry up and change your clothes, grab your tools, and go to work, now that there are fewer people, there will not necessarily be less work! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, my name is Donald, and I entered the Mage Tower with a group of Shado, can you tell me what to do in the Arcane Garden?"
I don't know if it was because of Donald's almost humble attitude, or because he entered the mage tower in the same group as Xia Duo, in short, the ordinary apprentice he asked immediately changed his face, and pulled Donald aside with a smile and whispered a conversation.
