In the afternoon, Xia Duo and Edrridge first inquired about the apprenticeship competition through a summons, and the results were very gratifying.

The premise of all this is that you must not violate the rules of the Mage Tower, and you must not delay your own mission - apprentices are essentially servants and have to work.

And Eldridge and they have already asked for advice among the apprentices to see what kind of competition they organize, and the apprentice competition will definitely be different from the official arcane competition that will be held in the realm.

Xia Duo said a few words of encouragement, and then went to the material application office. …… Public Floor, No. 6 Material Claim Office. Perhaps because of the willingness of the Mage Tower to start classes, the material application office in the afternoon was extremely deserted, but this was especially enjoyable for Master Jose to come.

Although in normal times, most of the work is also taken over by apprentices, and it does not bother him very often, but it still can't be compared to the time when he is not spared.

When there is no spare, even the apprentice on duty will not make a sound, so that he can think quietly for a while.

If he was in a good mood, he might give the apprentice a chance to ask questions, and for this reason, even if he couldn't make much money from working in the material application office, someone still squeezed in with their heads sharpened.

But not every material application office has a formal mage on duty, and not every mage on duty will say such kind words to him.

Glancing at it, he saw that the apprentice was lightly tidying up the counter, counting his mind, and Master José nodded with satisfaction, ready to allow him to ask a question during the break.

At this moment, there was a light sound at the door, and Master Jose frowned, looked over, and then stretched out again, it turned out to be a formal mage, and he knew that he had come to live.

"Master Jose, would you like to take a look at this scroll?" Xia Duo took out a [Steam Ray] scroll and handed it over.

"Huh?" Master Jose paused for a moment, but quickly picked up the scroll, first examining it on the outside, then unfolding it to take a closer look.

It took a long time to take his eyes off the scroll, looked at Xia Duo, and asked, "Are you-" Although Xia Duo recognized this Jose mage, the other party obviously didn't remember him anymore,

"Master Jose, it's okay to call me Shado."

"Master Shado, if we're not mistaken, this should be a brand new spell?"

"Yes!"

"This is rare, the Mage Tower hasn't had a new spell in a while!" Master José seemed to sigh with emotion, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something,

"Shado, Shado, are you the apprentice that Master Leonard brought back?"

"Yes, that's me."

"How are you-" Mage Jose had already remembered that Xia Duo had exchanged a lot of 0-ring learning scrolls here, and Leonard, a student of the Lord, had a profound impact on him at that time.

It was only later, for such a long time, the two of them had not interacted, and Master Jose had long forgotten about it, and it was only when he heard this name just now that he remembered it.

"Congratulations, you're a full-fledged mage." Jose's tone was a little embarrassed, people like Xia Duo are indeed rare, and it is impossible not to be envious.

"What are you going to do with this scroll?"

"Ask for the price, and if it's the right one, maybe sell one batch on a regular basis." Xia Duo said calmly.

"You made this magic scroll?" José was very surprised, and he couldn't maintain a calm expression on his face anymore,

"I am, it's a rare boutique."

"Thanks for the compliment, what price can this scroll sell for?" Whether it is a boutique or not, Xia Duo didn't pay attention to it, he will also be in the scene, what he really cares about is what the price is, and whether it is worth his long-term production.

Jose examines the scroll, and although it is a normal encrypted version, he can also deduce some information, such as that it is an offensive spell.

However, the specific effect of use will not be known until after the actual test, after all, it is not a common popular scroll, so Jose did not quote directly.

"I need to actually test it once, but you don't have to get your hopes up, there are too many magic scrolls to choose from, even if the effect is special, I don't think it will exceed 30 gold coins." Xia Duo was very surprised in his heart, he thought that the price would be lowered, after all, what is the cost of the 1 ring scroll, the Mage Tower could not be clearer, it can reach 30 gold coins, in fact, it has exceeded Xia Duo's expectations.

"Although Mage Jose tested, I recommend using living creatures to test, this spell I call [Vapor Ray], it works wonders for living creatures."

"Rest assured, this kind of spell, the Mage Tower has a special testing process." Master José proposed,

"Want to come and see?"

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, I think you'll probably need it in the future." Master José replied in the affirmative.

Xia Duo was immediately interested, he didn't know that there was such a place in the Mage Tower, in the end, or if he had been in the Mage Tower for too short.

After a few words of explanation to the apprentice on duty, Master Jose led Xia Duo into the elevator next to the No. 6 Material Application Office.

"The place we're going to is on the basement level of the Mage Tower, where there are specialized blasting rooms, bondage rooms, sealing rooms, and dungeons, and you'll be dealing with them a lot in the future." With that, Master Jose ordered Taling to take them to the basement.

…… On the way, Master Jose asked Chardo for two more copies of the regular scroll. Generally speaking, the appearance of a new spell must go through many and repeated tests, and this test is not a feasibility test before and after the completion of the spell, but a functional test of the product.

For example, Xia Duo's [Steam Ray], he only completed the feasibility test himself, proving that this spell can really emit steam rays.

He hadn't actually tested it with living creatures, and as for the effect, he had surmised it based on the fact that someone on Earth had been scalded by a hot steam.

The burn is not an instant fatal injury, but it can make people quickly lose the ability to resist, so this spell is nicknamed by Xia Duo

"Non-lethal rapid disabling spell". However, for scrolls, 3 copies are about the same, after all, people who use scrolls can only simply guide spells to be issued, and even, when non-casters use them, they can't even do basic guidance, and can only be released according to the instructions preset by the scroll maker.

As a result, non-casters are generally reluctant to use offensive spells. It's funny that the enemy didn't hit him, but he killed himself.

When Mage Jose asked him about this, Xia Duo immediately realized that he had chosen the wrong spell. [Steam Ray] may become a hit in a short period of time because of its novelty, but in the long run, it is far less popular than the auxiliary magic scroll.

There was no time to be upset, and the elevator had stopped on the basement level of the Mage Tower.

"Here we are."
