After the end of the Rodney Lord's trip, Xia Duo also let go of some worries, just waiting for the Rodney Lord's ship to arrive and pick up the Rodney Lord's people in the east, and the matter was thoroughly understood.

Back at his lodgings, Xia Duo opened his plan notes, crossed out the line "Rodney's Journey", flipped to the back, stared at it for a while, and then closed his notes and went to bed to rest peacefully.

When he woke up again, it was already late at night, and Xia Duo was walking in the Tower of Time, and there was silence all around, and there was no longer the scene where apprentices would come out and run around even late at night.

The current apprentice of the Tower of Time is already an apprentice in the true sense of the word, and the courses are almost arranged slowly from morning to night, giving them no room to breathe at all.

Becoming a full-fledged mage in three years is the bottom line that Xia Duo gives them, and it is also the bottom line of their future lives, once they can't successfully complete their studies, they will immediately take on a debt that is not small even for a formal mage.

In such a situation, how can they not study hard!

Of course, the more important factor is actually hope, the hope that you can fight hard with stability, rather than just luck or financial resources to become a full-fledged mage as in the past.

Through the projection of the tower spirit, looking at the apprentices who were sleeping peacefully, Xia Duo also seemed to see hope, which was the hope nurtured by the magical civilization.

Soon Xia Duo came to the public floor, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, there was a flash of inspiration around him, and the delicate people who had just separated during the day reappeared.

It was already late at night, and Niya seemed to be still in good spirits, so she took the initiative to lean towards Xia Duo's side, and said with a little surprise: "You're awake!" ”

"Hmm."

Xia Duo nodded slightly and continued to walk towards his destination, while Nia didn't ask, just followed, and only after a few steps, he found that Nia couldn't help but yawn, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

So, Xia Duo stopped, looked at Nia, and turned her head when he saw her, and then said reproachfully: "Why haven't you rested until now!" ”

Nia lowered her head and whispered, "I contacted the teacher before." ”

"Huh?"

"The teacher said you did a good job, and then checked my study tasks, and I-"

The sound behind him is getting smaller and smaller, even Xia Duo's hearing can't hear it, but he can guess the approximate situation, it's nothing more than that the task is not completed, and he stayed up late at night.

To be honest, Xia Duo is really envious of Nia having a teacher who arranges her study plan and urges her from time to time.

But envy can't be envied, but fortunately, as long as Nia's study plan doesn't involve the secrets of the Gillestall Tower, she has to share it with him, and Xia Duo doesn't care if there is such a teacher or not.

Of course, if there were, Xia Duo would not refuse.

Seeing that Niya didn't seem to want to leave, Xia Duo stepped forward, hugged her gently, and said softly: "I'm going to the town to find Broto, it's not a big deal, you don't have to follow me, go back and rest!" ”

"Oh."

After receiving a definite answer from Niya, Xia Duo let go of her, and watched the other party teleport away from the public floor before continuing to walk towards the teleportation room.

Sure it wasn't a delusion, after Shado found out about this incident, Nia became much attached to him, which made him both a little happy and a little resistant.

All kinds of emotions are endless.

……

When he arrived in Savile Town, Xia Duo went straight to the blacksmith shop in Blotto in the South District, and most people would have fallen asleep at such a late hour, but Blotto was not an ordinary man, he was a dwarf who was an alcoholic.

It's basically drinking and falling asleep, waking up and drinking again, and for Blotto, there is no real sense of day and night.

When you fall asleep, it is night, and when you wake up, it is day.

In fact, for today's Xia Duo, day and night are just an extension of the past habits, and he, who also has dark vision, can completely treat night as day, or simply not distinguish between them.

When Shado came to the door, Blotto seemed to have just woken up, speaking in a muffled dwarven dialect, standing in the corner of the house about to unzip his pants.

Xia Duo didn't want to see the next scene, and hurriedly shouted: "Broto! ”

The dwarf came to his senses in an instant, and at the same time, a familiar black hammer flew directly from the inside of the house through the wall and into Broto's hand.

When Blotto saw that it was Shado, he immediately walked towards the house without looking back.

"Uncle Broto, I'm looking for your help!"

Xia Duo hurriedly stepped forward to stop Blotto, and at the same time took out the distilled liquor prepared in advance and forcibly stuffed it into the other party's hands.

By this time, Xia Duo had already squeezed into the house with Broto.

Throwing away the hammer casually, Broto was about to open the wine bottle habitually, and when he turned his head, he happened to see the hole in the wall that had just been knocked out by the hammer, and he couldn't help shaking his head again and again, and said angrily:

"I knew it would be okay to come to me so late!"

After speaking, he poured himself a big sip, looked at Xia Duo with a breath of wine, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Hey, hey!"

Xia Duo took out a few bottles of distilled spirit from his personal space again and put them on the anvil beside him, "Thank you for the dragon leather boots last time!" ”

Nowadays, the dragon leather boots are worn on Xia Duo's feet, comfortable and fit, as the so-called "wear boots and do not forget the shoemaker", Xia Duo is such a decent young man, how can he forget Broto!

"Don't thank me, I'll get a share too! Let's talk about what happened this time! You mages just have a lot to do! ”

In this way, Xia Duo said bluntly, "I would like to ask Uncle Broto to help me find a paint that can be stable on the surface of pure gold for a long time, preferably silver white or light gray in color." ”

"Adamantite? Paints? ”

Blotto looked Xia Duo up and down, and finally his gaze fell on Xia Duo's waist and let out a smack sound, "It's the first time I've seen a Adamantite Spell Book!" ”

"Is there any?"

"Yes! But—"

"But what?"

"Not with me, though!"

Xia Duo couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, isn't this the same as saying it in vain! "So, where can you find that paint? But don't tell me I'm going to the kingdom of Danzo to find it! ”

"Haha! Don't worry, if nothing else, you've got it yourself! ”

"Me? Myself? Chado was obviously not convinced, but he also wanted to hear Blotto's explanation.

Blotto grunted a few more sips of wine and let out a long breath before continuing: "I heard that there was a Drow assassin from the north some time ago? ”

"How do you know?" Xia Duo asked subconsciously.

However, he quickly realized that the Drow Assassin had done something as big as the elven art, and even if only the elves were present at the time, there would always be some rumors.

"Yes, there is indeed a Drow Assassin!"

"Then he must have been dealt with by you, I have the impression that the Drow Assassin is not in the habit of striking only once."

"It's really settled, and it was Abbeck who caught it."

There was nothing to hide, and Chardo had guessed what Blotto meant by the paint on himself.
