Lord of Arcane

Chapter 21 The Holy Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance
If Dean solves the problem of the [Repair Technique] before Xia Duo learns the words, then Xia Dao will find another person, and if Xia Duo learns the words first, if Dean wants to continue, he will have to pay a lot of money .

I don't know if he can afford it or not. According to Xia Duo's guess, he should not be able to afford it. Otherwise, he would have been able to trade with others and become a formal apprentice long ago.

……

After agreeing with Dean on the content of the transaction, Xado couldn't wait to ask Dean for advice. He needed to know words too much. As long as he knew words, his learning speed would be greatly improved.

In the face of Xia Duo who asked to start teaching immediately, Dean did not hesitate. He did not believe that Xia Duo could memorize all the words within a few hours, and as long as he did not remember and wanted to continue learning, he would at least get a chance to ask questions tomorrow. .

The slower Xia Duo learns, the more opportunities he will get to ask questions. At this moment, he has no intention of deliberately delaying it. Maybe he is confident enough to solve the problem of [Restoration] before Xia Duo learns to write.

Dean turned around and took out a parchment-bound booklet from the standard wooden box and handed it to Shado, "This is the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" that I copied when I was studying writing, but because I don't have the money to buy a new one I have scraped off the first half of the blank note, so you can learn the second half, there are common words anyway."

Xia Duo took the parchment booklet and did not look at what was newly written on the front, but directly opened the booklet whose edges had been worn black from the middle.

It may be that Shado just turned to the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance", Dean didn't turn it anymore, just pointed to the words on that page face to face, and read:

"The law is the authority, and the law maintains the order of the society, otherwise, the world will be plunged into chaos. The Holy Proverb of the Lord of Light: The power of the law is unshakable, it is natural, just as the sun rises every day, all disputes, any crimes, It can be perfectly resolved in the law.”

"Learn the law and incorporate it into your life; you must obey every word and every word, and in this way, you will discover a world in the profound meaning of the law. As long as you obey the law, there will be no righteous punishment for you to soar; Only then can the power of following precedents thrive, and the powerful will of Amanatta can be made known to the world; the one who sincerely serves the superior will receive his sincere reward; however, if one evades responsibility, one cannot escape severe punishment. "

Dean reads a sentence, and Shado repeats it.

This kind of proverb is similar to the "Analects of Confucius" before Xiaduo's time-travel. They are all words spoken by great men, and they also show a certain concept of great men.This half of the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" should be compiled by the Amanata Church, which can be used as a literate reader and can spread beliefs subtly.

However, Xia Duo's three views have already been formed, and his attitude towards these proverbs is more critical, and he deconstructs these proverbs with his own three views.

In fact, he did not agree with some proverbs, but Xia Duo was not stupid enough to say it directly. The Netherites are still very serious about their beliefs, at least they will not arrange gods casually like the earth people.

This booklet is just that, and I read half of it again, and I read it for the first time in a short time.

Xia Duo felt that learning words in this way was too inefficient.

He had never seen such a person who learned writing like this, even the ancients on earth had dictionaries and dictionaries!
When he was learning Common Language with little Neil, he knew that there were scholars in town who taught the Nyse script at a high price, and it was said that he learned it through poetry.

I thought the mage tower would be more advanced, such as special dictionaries, study manuals, etc., but Xardo asked Dean when he just read the second sentence. No, at least Dean has never heard of any dictionaries.

Xia Duo couldn't help being a little discouraged. If he really learned words in this way, when would he learn it!

Xia Duo felt that it was necessary to make up a dictionary by himself. He still knew the truth that sharpening knives is not wrong for chopping wood. Besides, having a dictionary by his side was convenient for reviewing at any time.

"Dean, come here first today, I want to buy a blank notebook, some things are hard to remember with the mind alone."

"No problem, you can find me anytime you want."

Seeing that Xia Duo is not studying for the time being today, Dean is so happy that it is too late, and he gets up and prepares to send Xia Duo, and Xia Duo is somewhat embarrassed. He just said that he wants to buy notes, but he hasn't got up yet, Dean Can't wait to send him away.

"Forget it, I'm leaving. What questions do you want to ask tomorrow, tell me first, and I'll tell you after dinner when I ask."

Dean immediately said his question, and then gave Shado a piece of advice—

"When you buy blank notes, it's best to go to the material application office. They are all brand new. If you buy them cheaply from other apprentices, then the inner pages of the notes must be scratched to the last chance to write."

"Okay, I remember your question, and thank you for your suggestion, I'm leaving."

In fact, Xia Duo hadn't thought about buying blank notes from other apprentices. If he didn't have a channel for newcomers, he might even be tricked, just as Dean said.

A new piece of parchment is normally thick enough to scratch 5 times, which means that a piece of paper has 5 writing opportunities. Whether it is to correct mistakes or reuse, the new one is definitely better than the used one. .

……

Most of the material application offices in the Master Tower are on the public floor, such as the application office No. 3 where the apprentice wooden box was received before. This time, Xia Duo is going to the application office No. 1. He has asked about Taling, like parchment, Basic materials such as ink and matches are applied for or purchased at the No. 1 application area.

For more advanced things like experimental materials, you need to apply for or purchase them at other application offices.

He took the elevator to the public floor with ease. Along the way, Xia Duo didn't see a few apprentices walking outside until there were more people near the No. 1 material application office.

But almost all of these people are in a hurry, and they are not willing to waste time at all.

Occasionally, two people chatting in a low voice deliberately stopped when Xia Duo passed by, and then stared at him until he left. This kind of anti-thief behavior made Xia Duo feel quite uncomfortable.

At the application office No. 1, the layout inside is like a grocery store. Two "unnamed" apprentices behind the counter are entertaining and sorting out the materials on the back shelves.

"Uh — hello, are there any blank notes for sale? How much?"

Hearing Xia Duo's question, an apprentice turned around and said, "100 gold coins for 15 blank notes, and 2 silver coins for a single piece of parchment. How much?"

As soon as he heard that the blank note required 15 gold coins, Xia Duo's heart suddenly became cold. He now has only 27 silver coins in total, and the salary of the mage tower is only 1 silver coin per day.

If you want to buy a blank notebook, you will have to work for at least 4 months, and the daylily will be cold. This is a hard-working apprentice without the support of the family and forces behind him!

And if you buy parchment paper alone, the price of each sheet is one-third more expensive than buying the whole, which is simply slaughter!
