Lord of Arcane

Chapter 25 The Legend of the First Class
Regarding the afternoon lectures, Xia Duo consulted Taling, and apprentices can make their own decisions according to their own learning progress. Generally, apprentices who have just entered the Mage Tower will be taught by some excellent formal apprentices in the hall on the first floor.

Going a step further, you can choose to join the official Master's course, no need to apply, but the official Master will not change the progress for a certain person. If you can't keep up, you will either quit the first-level course, or you will continue to listen until the course is repeated again.

By asking Taling, you can get a list of courses offered by various official mages. Xia Duo has a general understanding. There are details about a specific spell, about the structure of the magic net, about the manufacture of magic items, and even a special magician. Etiquette class, elf etiquette class.

But these have nothing to do with Xia Duo for the time being. His current magic foundation is almost 0, and he has not even passed the text level. How can he think about other things.

All he can choose now is the most basic "Magic Enlightenment Class", taught by a formal apprentice named Garner in the hall on the first floor.

……

In the hall on the first floor of the Tower of Time, although the former official manager of the mage mentioned that 26 new apprentices have been added this year, when Xado came here, there were only less than 10 people.

Little Neil also appeared, and Xia Duo was not surprised. He was aware of it as early as when he entered the tower for the assessment. Apart from him, everyone else has more or less money at home. Please invite one who has given up magic. It does not cost much for the apprentices who left the Mage Tower to be enlightened in advance.

12 points.

The official apprentice Garner, who was teaching, appeared stuck in the hall on the first floor, glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on Xia Duo. Xia Duo was helpless. Now he only has the name of a formal apprentice, but no formal apprenticeship. The apprentice's ability to stay around a group of unenlightened people is indeed quite conspicuous.

However, in the face of Garner's gaze, Xia Duo still looked at him very generously. He did have shortcomings, but he was working hard to improve, and there was nothing to hide.

Fortunately, Garner just watched, and then started today's lecture, and there were no words of ridicule or attack.

"Everyone, since you have chosen to join the Mage Tower, you can't waste the past three years. Otherwise, why don't you just go to the town to find other jobs? Since you have thoughts about the magic road, you must take all the Don’t waste your family’s efforts.”

"Today's class will not involve any magic knowledge. I will introduce you to the experience of living, studying and working in the Mage Tower, as well as the stories of several legendary figures."

Garnar's first lesson did not start directly from magic, but first told everyone about the daily life and work in the mage tower that need to be paid attention to, with a little encouragement and outlook.

The experience of a formal apprentice is also very valuable to Shado, and he eagerly absorbs the experience taught by Garnar, and combines his own specificity, leaving records on parchment from time to time.

The legendary stories told by Garner also brought great spiritual inspiration to Shado.

Archmage Darth Riel, who was a farmer until the age of 30, accidentally acquired a magical enlightenment book at the age of 30, but he did not choose to sell the book to improve his life.

Instead, he spent a lot of money to learn writing from scratch. During this period, even his son laughed at him, thinking that it was extremely ridiculous that a peasant would delusionally become a Master Mage.

But Darth Riel never gave up. Facing the doubts of his family and the ridicule of his neighbors, he could only secretly use a little spare time during his slack farming to learn from the scholars in the city.

People were amazed that Dathriel pulled a truckload of dry wood into town, only to return with no silver coins, so day by day, year after year, when Dathriel released his first zero at the age of 35. His life changed when he got into the ring of magic.

After the local lord knew the story of a peasant who became a mage through self-study, he invested in him and brought him into the mage tower. From then on, Dathriel was on the road of magic.

At the age of 45, the orcs invaded Dasriel's hometown. At a critical moment, Dasriel descended from the sky with magic, and only then did people know that he had become a distinguished archmage.

And many believe that Archmage Darth Riel will become a legend.

The legend of Dathriel, Shado had heard from the adventurers at the Old Neil Inn before, but the adventurers' stories were scattered and exaggerated, and they were not as vivid and true as what Garnar said.

In addition to Archmage Dathriel, Gar'nar also tells the story of Congenio, the still-living Grand Arcanist who invented the Ion Stone hundreds of years ago.

It is also vivid and touching, making Xia Duo yearn for it.

However, to Shado's surprise, Eorem's name was not mentioned by Garnar. In the background of the game that Shado had played before crossing, the name of Eorem was and Netheril The most closely related name.

When it comes to Netheril, we have to mention the floating city - truncate the mountain, make it invert the floating, and build the city of clouds above it.

What can support a mountain peak into and out of the cloud?
The answer is Eorem's invention of the Miser core.

However, Xia Duo has never heard of the floating city so far. Obviously, the Miser energy core has not been invented yet. Xia Duo does not know when the Miser energy core was invented by Eorem.

But before this time, Eorem should not be an unknown person, not to mention that it is said that the ancestor of Lord Xavier, the Great Arcanist Xavier, was a student of Eorem.

Before Garner mentioned that he wanted to tell the story of a legend, Shado also expected the story of Eorem to appear, but he didn't even mention it.

For Miser's energy core and for the floating city, Shado is very eager. If he comes to Netheril and cannot control the various planes of the floating city, it will be a waste of time.

……

Time flies, and half a day has passed.At about 5:[-] pm, Garner was ready to end today's lecture, and before the end was the daily question-and-answer session.

Even in formal apprenticeship classes, there will be a question-and-answer session, but usually the subjects of formal apprenticeship classes are ordinary apprentices, so they can often be ignored, but today there is an extra summer.

Garner did not ignore Xia Duo, but directly named him, "Apprentice Xia Duo, do you have any questions to ask?"

The other seven or eight ordinary apprentices immediately looked at Xia Duo with envious eyes. Xia Duo actually had a lot of questions in his heart. He didn't have the ability to communicate with real formal apprentices on an equal footing, so he could only ask questions through the opportunity. .

But not today, he made an agreement with Dean yesterday to help him ask the official mage about [Repair]. Although Garner is not an official mage, he can become an official apprentice. It should not be difficult to answer this question, but I don’t know him Will answer questions outside of the course.

"I promise an apprentice to ask him questions about [restoration], okay?"

Garner is not at all surprised. He has seen too much about this kind of behavior of trading personal questions. "Yes, but I can only answer one question."
