Recently, the Mage Tower seems to be a lot busier, with mages passing by in the corridors, corridors, and elevators from time to time.

If in the past an apprentice could only meet a full-fledged mage three times at most, now an apprentice can meet at least ten times.

Because of the Abbel Advancement Celebration and the Arcane Competition, the mages have received a lot of tasks, even Xia Duo, who is going to participate in the Arcane Competition.

The Mage Tower arranged for him to receive two mages from the core area of the empire, take them to browse the public floor of the Mage Tower, introduce the situation of the territory, and then send them to the residence on the sixth floor.

The two of them pointed fingers along the way, and in their mouths, the Savile Leader was only in the eyes of this mage tower, and as for the mage, he was already out of touch with the core of the empire.

"Master Chardo, have you ever seen an elf?" One of the tall mages asked suddenly. Xia Duo wanted to see it with his own eyes, but the other party didn't give him the slightest chance to speak,

"The elves are unusually handsome, you can never forget them once you see them, and I think I had a good time talking and laughing with them in the mage club in Severten." He licked his lips as if in retrospect, and his companion, a shorter mage, nudged him, and seemed to think his companion was too exaggerated.

The tall mage quickly reacted, pretending to smile heartily, and said, "The elf is gone, low-key, low-key!" Master Shado, have you ever been to the Otherworld? "At this time, Xia Duo really hadn't been there, but the place he came from might also be regarded as an alien plane, so he didn't answer, and this tall mage began to tell about his experience of breaking into the alien plane.

It's just that to Xia Duo, how can it be a bit like Long Ao - to see the Grand Arcanist get praise, give gifts, and be in distress on the other side, and then the gift makes him save the day.

Could it be that there are also people who write about the color resistance? Or is this beginner mage's brain replenishment power really so powerful that it can affect a Grand Arcanist?

To be honest, Xia Duo was a little disappointed with the performance of these two foreign mages, he thought that all of them were talents, but he didn't expect them to be eloquent.

He was a little impatient,

"Both, there will be a chance to tell the story of the Alien Plane in the future, I'll take you to a resting place first!"

"Master Xia Duo, you don't want to go to the core area of the empire?"

"......" Xia Duo rolled his eyes, the task he received was obviously a reception, but in fact, he wanted to attract foreign mages to join the territory and join the Tower of Time, but he didn't expect others to want to kidnap the population!

"Both, I'm a full member of the Tower of Time. I'll take you two to a resting place first! "Chardobi

The gesture of "please". Since they are official members of the Tower of Time, it is naturally impossible for them to be co-opted casually, and these two foreign mages are also a little stunned, and they have to talk less along the way.

After arranging Liangrao's residence, Xia Duo immediately went to the mission management office and reported his reception of two foreign mages.

Xia Duo felt that there might be someone to contact behind the Mage Tower, but this had nothing to do with him, and after handing over the task, Xia Duo had nothing to do.

…… The Arcane Garden is as bright as day all year round. After dinner, in the Arcane Garden orchard, under the apple tree where Xia Duo frequented, dozens of apprentices formed in a circle, waiting for the four men in the middle who looked like leaders to speak.

But the four men obviously didn't want to speak, and turned a blind eye to the already commotion of the crowd, when a fat blonde man emerged from the crowd and came to the middle of the clearing surrounded by everyone.

Approached the four leader-like people and said, "It's almost 6 o'clock, it seems that Xia Duo won't come, why don't we start first?" ”

"No, wait!" It was Dean who spoke. Although he is much worse than Edrich in terms of influence in the Mage Tower, and even Sammy and Dvarn are inferior, he has the highest voice in the organization.

The reason is naturally because of Xia Duo, and he is also very aware of this, insisting that if Xia Duo does not come, the apprenticeship competition will not start.

And Edrich, Sammy and others also recognized Liuen's words, and although the fat Donald was accepted as a member of the organization, it was obvious that he was only at the bottom.

As for the dozens of apprentices gathered around, they were just potential members of the organization's philosophy, and they were the contestants in this apprenticeship competition.

The original plan was for Dean, Edridge and others to participate together, but in the end they were abandoned, and they no longer needed to go through this apprenticeship competition to be recognized.

After all, they already represent the organization, and it should be other people who need to be recognized by the organization and join the organization.

…… On the other hand, Xia Duo didn't deliberately delay, but he was too busy recently, and the format of the apprentice competition had changed several times, and he didn't think of the Arcane Garden at the first time.

His first stop was actually the spell practice room on the library level, and when he got there, he remembered that the first round of the apprenticeship competition was in the Arcane Garden, and the second round was the actual spellcasting competition.

Realizing that he might be late, Xia Duo hurried to the Arcane Garden, and when he arrived, he saw Dean and the others pacifying the apprentices.

In the distance, Shado cried out,

"Dean, Edrich, I'm coming!"

"Master Chardo is here!" The crowd was in a commotion, and there was a tendency to surround Xia Duo, and Edrich immediately maintained order on the scene, but fortunately, there were only twenty or thirty people, and under the command of Edrich, everyone immediately put up a welcome formation Dean and others greeted him,

"Xia Duo, you're finally here!"

"Well, there's been a lot of things lately, and I've been delayed. Why don't you guys start first? Don't have to wait for me. ”

"What if you don't come!" Dean pulled Shado under the apple tree and motioned for Edrich to begin. Aldridge had once shopped in the library's transcription room, was a celebrity in the Mage's Tower, and he was now the face of the Order, a little more prestige than Dean in the eyes of an apprentice.

In organizing the apprenticeship competition, Eldridge made a big contribution.

"Everyone, we all come here with the same idea, we are all companions, friends, competition is competition, but remember, friendship first, competition second." Then, Eldridge dispersed the crowd for the first round of the apprenticeship competition, the paper exam, in which Sammy, Dvarn, and Donald distributed the papers that had been prepared in advance to each of them.

And under the apple tree, Dean was patting Shador on the back,

"Shado, how did you come up with the idea of playing in this format? And the phrase 'friendship first, competition second' is so good! "The people who praise don't feel anything, but the people who are praised feel a little embarrassed, Xia Duo doesn't remember when he mentioned that he can screen some people through paper exams, and he can also see how the foundation of each Rao is.

What else

"Friendship first, competition second", it's really a bit out of place to get up in the mage tower, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was a young man who was sent to the mage tower just as an adult, it is estimated that they would be directly immune.

Looking at the group of apprentices who were struggling to answer questions, Shado asked Dean,

"Who do you think can be absorbed into the organization?" Most of the apprentices here are Xia Duo's original co-workers in the Arcane Garden, but there are some new faces, but he has been away from the Arcane Garden for a while, and he has been very busy during this time, so he doesn't know the specific progress.

"Most of these apprentices agree with the organization's philosophy, and I think—"
