Lord of Arcane

Chapter 32 The middleman is focused
And what Xia Duo is thinking at the moment is how to make full use of the questioning qualifications. The cooperation with Donald can be said to be downstream. If you really ask questions for them, Xia Duo will be very disadvantaged.

The upstream should be some motivated ordinary apprentices who are close to formal apprentices. They want to ask questions to formal mages or excellent teaching apprentices, but they have no qualifications, no channels, or can't afford the price. Now that they have Xado, they don't have to worry about it. .

If they are willing to answer questions for Xia Duo, then Xia Duo is naturally willing to ask capable people questions for them.

The upstream transaction content can naturally flow to the downstream, and Xia Duo is the middleman.

This can be regarded as Xia Duo's unique resource. Other formal apprentices either can't use ordinary apprentices at all, or the price of inviting them is too high for ordinary apprentices to accept.

It is also a questioning qualification, and the psychological price that Xia Duo can accept is definitely far lower than other formal apprentices.

The appearance of Shado forcibly opened up all the strata in the Mage Tower——

New apprentices, ordinary apprentices, ordinary apprentices, formal apprentices, and formal mages.

Originally, ordinary apprentices wanted to become full-fledged apprentices, and they basically had no need for lower-level apprentices, or the cost was too high; the situation of formal apprentices was similar, and they all wanted to move up to the next level.

Xia Duo's demand for new apprentices is gold coins, and the demand for other classes is knowledge. It may not have much intersection with formal apprentices, but it can intersect with other classes.

It is the middleman who can make the difference.

But after thinking about it, Xia Duo also wanted to become a real official apprentice, or even a full-fledged mage. Thinking of this, he was still a little complacent, and he calmed down.

Still need to work hard!
……

The basic process of being a middleman has been determined, but to actually implement it, we must not only get a certain price difference, but also try to fit our own learning progress as much as possible without delaying ourselves.

Obtaining knowledge for the upstream will inevitably affect his normal learning progress, and he needs to get it back from them. It is equivalent to the other party exchanging low-level knowledge for the key knowledge that Xia Duowen came from. This balance needs to be mastered.

Sell ​​low-level knowledge in the downstream to obtain low-level knowledge from the upstream, and obtain gold coins for maintaining daily consumption.

Xia Duo will not forget his goal. Obtaining enough power to protect himself is the first priority. Making money or earning the difference is just an auxiliary, and he can't do things that are small and big.

For the time being, Dean is still a good partner. The knowledge he needs does not necessarily have to be asked by Xia Duo to a formal mage, but only to an apprentice who teaches.

As for the future, if Dean can successfully become a formal apprentice, then Xia Duo must find another ordinary apprentice who is in a bottleneck state. If not, he can continue to cooperate.

After returning to the dormitory floor, Xia Duo found Dean and sold his cooperation plan. Dean happened to need Xia Duo's help there, and the two hit it off.

After confirming the cooperation plan, Shado immediately asked, "Dean, can you tell me how to practice spellcasting?"

"Okay." Dean didn't refuse, but in fact he was a little resistant, because the faster Xia Duo progressed, the less he would be used, and there was no need to ask him about his lack of knowledge.

But although he resisted in his heart, Dean had no other choice. He knew that if he didn't want to, Xia Duo could find someone else. He was not the only apprentice stuck on the threshold.

"Practicing spellcasting, or just spellcasting, is actually one thing. It's just that spells may not be successfully activated during practice. It is forbidden to cast spells in the dormitory area. Let's go to the spell practice room."

"Then trouble you."

"It's not too much trouble, I just got a little something, and I want to verify it."

Having said that, Dean still felt a little distressed, because he must have paid for the cost of renting the spellcasting practice room.

……

On the way to the library floor, Xia Duo was not willing to give up this time. During the enlightenment class, he had a question, but that question was still far away from Xia Duo, and the question was going to be sold, so Xia Duo kept going. did not ask.

The cooperation between Xia Duo and Dean, if there is no accident, will continue until Dean becomes a formal apprentice. Xia Duo doesn't care if Dean suffers by asking one more question.

"Dean, do you know psychic power?"

"Spirit? Power?" Dean was puzzled. "What kind of power is this?"

Xia Duo explained to Dean the concept of mental power, because this word was created by Xia Duo in Nise, and there is no such thing as mental power in Nise.

Hearing Xia Duo's explanation, Dean also showed a bit of interest, "The soul is definitely there, and the soul does have power. It is not a specific power, but a description."

"Oh? What power does the soul have?"

"I don't know about this, I just read it in a book by chance, but I can tell you for sure that I don't have the kind of mental power you describe, and all the apprentices and mages I know don't have that kind of power. ."

Xia Duo pondered, it is impossible to say that he is not interested in a world with magic, and of course what he cares most about is the principle of magic.Before crossing, he wrote online articles, so he was no stranger to the concept of spiritual power.

Being able to cast spells, control the movement of objects, and even invade the brain and produce hallucinations are all attributes of spiritual power in novels, but such spiritual power does not seem to exist in the real magic world.

Of course, it is impossible for Shado to think that what Dean said must be correct, but at present, even a mage does not necessarily have the kind of spiritual power that Shado thinks.

"Then what do you think is the principle of casting spells?"

"Focus! The enlightenment class should have been covered." Dean was puzzled.

"I know that there are three elements of spellcasting, knowledge, magic net, and concentration, but what I want to know is, why can we cast spells through concentration? Why can't we cast spells just by thinking about it."

This is what Xia Duo has always questioned. In Xia Duo's view, concentration is just an adjective used to describe a state. Using concentration to cast spells is like filling your stomach with red. It is difficult for people on earth to understand.

But Dean didn't seem to find it difficult to understand at all, "Concentration is concentration. If you can cast spells just by thinking about it, won't the magic get out of control."

After thinking about it for a while, Dean said again: "Focus is the basis for us to contact and control the magic net. It's like throwing a stone and it will eventually fall. What's incomprehensible."

what--

Xia Duo suddenly glanced at Dean. The example that Dean gave was simply too direct-viewing of gravitation. Thinking of the law of gravitation, Xia Duo instantly understood that he was on the cusp of a bullshit.

In the pre-traveling world, technology was prosperous, and people always liked to search for the root problem, but in the end, it would still be attributed to an unexplainable point, such as, why is the law of the universe like this and not like that?

Even the greatest scientists can't explain such a problem. In the magical world, focusing on spellcasting is the law of the world, and it can summarize deeper laws.

Looking back at his own psychology again, Xia Duo knew why he was so obsessed with concepts such as principles and laws.

Having seen the world before crossing, he is full of unease about the world he can't understand now, and it is precisely because of this that he can't wait to gain the power to protect himself.

It is not just because of the anxiety about personal safety, but also because of the subconscious anxiety about the world.

Having understood this mentality, Xia Duo did not ask Dean questions that were too far away, but focused on the present, and set a small goal first—

Let the title of official apprentice live up to its name!

　This chapter is to explain the setting. Focusing on spellcasting is the setting. It is similar to the physical laws of the real universe. In the final analysis, the world is like this~~ Of course, artificial changes may also be possible. The fine structure constant and the like are quite powerful, and of course there is a possibility of similar occurrences in the magical world.

Finally, I want to ask for a recommendation~~
thanks for your support! !
