Chapter 178: Short board, invite guests
Next, both of them honestly took out their notes and began to transcribe the spell, as neither of them had learned it before.
Xia Duo was interested in showing a wave of arcane geometry results, but he couldn't convert all the spell structures and elements he saw for the first time into flat graphics in a short period of time.
Therefore, he can only record the spell through some conventional symbols and words, as Ganar did.
For now, there is no need for such spells to be recorded in ciphertext, or Xia Duo, who is unwilling to use the earthly script, has not yet begun to study the ciphertext that belongs to him.
…… Time passed little by little, and soon the two of them finished recording the [Magic Missile], and then each studied, understood, and memorized.
But until noon, Niya never moved, and Xia Duo asked tentatively,
"Mentor, Mentor Nia!"
"......" didn't react, this shouldn't be a normal reaction of a mid-level mage, Xia Duo realized that Nia might have left, so he discussed with Ganar: "It's already noon, should we leave first, or wait for Mentor Nia to come back?" It may be that his words triggered something, and before Garner could react, a somewhat stiff but audible voice came from Niya's side-
"Practice on your own when you go back, and I'll see you succeed tomorrow morning!" The voice ended, and Nya's figure dissipated little by little.
Looking at this scene, Xia Duo and Garner looked at each other, and in the end, Xia Duo proposed first,
"Let's get out of here first!"
"Good!" …… Since the rules of the arcane competition have been determined, Xia Duo's plans have also changed a lot in order to deal with the competition.
The first is that the scroll production has stopped, and making the scroll is equivalent to casting spells, and he has to use every limited spell casting opportunity to train spell duels.
The second is that there is less time at personal disposal, and in the morning I have to go to Niya's side, and in the afternoon, I have to practice on my own and study the plane transformation of the spell structure.
Sometimes, Garnal had to come to him to practice, which made Xia Duo feel that time was more pressing than ever.
Of course, the greater urgency comes from her mentor Nia, as she is not happy with the performance of Shado and Garner.
Although Xia Duo's progress is very fast, due to the short time he has been in contact with magic, he is almost an absolute shortcoming in terms of spell casting skills.
Even the [Magic Missile], which he started learning at the same time as Garnar, has a significant gap with Garnar in terms of spell-casting proficiency.
It's just that this gap can be made up with skill, but skill also requires proficiency, not to mention that skill is not comparable to Garner.
This gap is like a novice carpenter and a person who has been a carpenter for three years and makes a piece of furniture at the same time, even if the former knows more skills, it does not change anything.
Because this level of skill alone is not enough to make up for the experience. During a spell duel practice, Xia Duo had just countered the magic missile launched by Garnal when he was stopped by Niya, and it could be seen from her expressionless face that the mentor was dissatisfied and the mentor was angry.
"Xia Duo, you don't need to practice against each other, I know that you are very endowed and have a deep understanding of the nature of spells, but why do you have to wait until the magic missile is almost close to your face to succeed in countering, do you know?" Xia Duo was silent, he knew, and it was because he knew that he didn't speak.
Even if it was a 0-ring spell, he couldn't do all of them instantly, let alone the newly learned 1-ring spell!
Spell casting training is the same as physical training, it needs to be recovered, it is impossible to practice all the time, and the time to contact magic and become a mage is too short, which is Xia Duo's biggest shortcoming.
If it weren't for this arcane competition, then Xia Duo could still practice slowly and eventually make up for it, but with this comparison
In the "rushing" arcane competition, Xia Duo's shortcomings were completely exposed. Before, Xia Duo's plan was still too optimistic, he always thought that as long as he stayed in the mage tower to cast spells training, he could be put on the back burner, but now reality has knocked him on the back burner.
Thankfully, this is just an arcane competition, so there is no danger, but if it is a sudden sign of battle like last year's orc tide, it will not be good.
Maybe he is strong enough to deal with most situations, but if he misses once, it will be too late to regret it.
Now Xia Duo has been stepping up his practice, but he still can't satisfy Mentor Niya. At this moment, the sparring was stopped, and Xia Duo had to hide alone to practice in the exchange, and as for Garner, Niya replaced Xia Duo to train him.
…… While Shado and Garner were training intensely, the core area of the empire, the territory of Iolum, was inside a tall white tower.
Lord Epps of the Savile has been here for a long time, but has never seen his grandfather's fellow disciple, the Grand Arcanist Brod.
Of course, his grandfather, Iorum, the teacher of the Grand Arcanist of Saville, was not to be seen, and since he had been here, he had been hung in the guest room by Broad's butler.
Neither seen nor seen, and the answer to asking the butler is always - the master is conducting an important experiment, please be patient.
Never rude, but never errand, the celebration prepared by Lord Epps is less than half a month, and the arcane competition is just after the celebration.
It is necessary to invite enough important guests and contestants, otherwise, Savile Collar may really become a laughing stock.
Lord Epps guessed that Her Royal Highness might make arrangements, but he would not bet all the prestige of the Savile family on the princess, and he himself had to fight for it as much as he could.
In the guest room, Lord Epps paced back and forth, just now Alberke summoned him, asking him to return to the territory as soon as possible, as a lord, it is always bad not to show up for a long time.
"Ahh
"Taling, is Archmage Gavani free now?" Taling responded immediately,
"Not authorized, please ask the Butler Miller, the head of the Mage Tower." As soon as he heard Miller's butler, Epps subconsciously clenched his fists, he really didn't want to face that seemingly polite but extremely indifferent zombie face again.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Miller butler is also a high-level mage, and in the face of him, Epps does not have the slightest psychological advantage.
But I thought of what Taling had just answered
"Not authorized", even Epps, who is the essence of Taling, knows in his heart that there is no way to get around the level of Miller's butler.
With a long sigh again, Epps reluctantly put his hand on the calling device in the room.
In a moment, a figure appeared in the room, it was the smiling Miller butler,
"Lord Savile, what do you command?" Epps stifled a smile and asked, "Is Archmage Gavani free now?" ”
"The archmage's whereabouts are not authorized, I can't answer." While refusing, Butler Miller still looked at Epps with a smile.
"Lord Savile, have any other questions?"
