Arcane Lord

The inside of the Tower of Time was also affected, and Shado was one of them. He was entertaining Edrich and others who came after hearing the news in the living room of his residence!

At this time, Xia Duo has completed the transformation of [Steam Ray], and the production of the magic scroll only requires the specific drawing process.

He originally planned to start the trial production of the [Steam Ray] scroll in the afternoon, but he did not expect that Edrich, Dean, Sammy, and Devine would skip class and come to him.

"So, you skipped class just to know if I was going to participate in the arcane competition?" Sha Duo said angrily, "Yes, I want to participate!"

For such a question, you can definitely summon someone to ask and go there in person. How free they are!

"Xia Duo, I heard that in the arcane competition held by the territory this time, there will be rewards for participating, and each of the top three will get at least one magic item."

Edrich's face was full of envy when he said this. He wished he could become an official mage right away and participate in the competition.

In addition to Devine, who has become enigmatic due to his faith, the other three people, Dean and Sammy also showed envious expressions. Dean even exaggeratedly said that if there was an apprentice competition, he would definitely participate and win the championship. .

However, this also caused dissatisfaction with Edrich and Sami. Although the relationship between the two of them is quite close now, they do not give in to each other when it comes to the recognition of their abilities.

Only Devine sat aside, looking at the noisy three people with a smile, and did not participate.

As for Shado, when the three of them started arguing, they had already taken out the "Dathriel's Ultimate Armor" borrowed from the library.

The name seems quite lofty, and it even borrows the name of the Archmage Darthriel, but in fact, it is a magical treatise on the 1st level spell [Mage Armor].

The content is very small, but the most important thing is that it gives a relatively complete spell structure of [Spell Armor], as well as all key elements.

"As long as a basic qualified junior mage can learn [Mage Armor] through this book", of course, this sentence was not said by Sha Duo, but was written directly in "Dathriel's Extremely Effective Armor" on the cover of this book.

It seemed that the author was very confident in his book, but when Sha Duo actually read the contents, he realized that advertisements are just advertisements after all.

In other words, the author overestimates the so-called basically qualified mage. Even someone like Sha Duo, who fully understands the principles and essence of magic, had some difficulty reading this book.

Others may have a harder time.

It would be nice if he had the right to redeem the 1st level spell learning scrolls, but unfortunately he hasn't saved enough yet. Even if he saves enough, he won't redeem the magic he has borrowed from the book.

Sha Duo listened to the noise of Edrich and others while studying [Mage Armor]. After a while, they finally came to a result.

"You let me be the first, and I will reward you." The only person who can say this is naturally Edrich, who is not short of money.

Sami and Dean also quickly discussed the carve-up plan and showed satisfied smiles.

"Hahaha -" Sha Duo couldn't bear it any longer. How could he argue about something completely invisible for so long, "Edrich, Sammy, Dean, where is the apprentice competition you mentioned?"

"Of course, after -" Edrich was stunned. What they were talking about before was if there was an apprentice competition, what if! Not really.

Edrich went a little crazy, "Ah - Dean, it's all your fault."

Dean and Sammy were also a little embarrassed, but they also felt indescribably relaxed. Perhaps only with these companions could they argue so carelessly.

Seeing that these people were noisy but not angry, Xia Duo knew that although the study group was disbanded, the organization was still running well.

It is inevitable that I feel a little proud. Although he has only changed a small group of people, the impact in the future is uncertain. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but push a little bit——

"Edrich, Dean, don't be disappointed. I think you can organize an apprentice competition yourself. Anyone who recognizes the organization's philosophy can participate. As for rewards, I will provide each of the top five with an original 0-level spell. How about learning scrolls?”

"Apprentice competition? Let's organize it ourselves?" Edrich and the three of them almost exclaimed at the same time, and even Dewane, who looked very calm, showed a look of surprise.

"Xia Duo, can we really do this? I mean, won't the Mage Tower stop me?" Dean was very moved, but also hesitant.

"Stop? Why stop? This is an apprentice's voluntary response to the arcane competition in the territory. This is a good thing!" Sha Duo said with certainty.

From the day when his authority was upgraded, Xia Duo understood that there were almost no apprentices in the eyes of the upper levels of the Mage Tower, and the real apprentices should be junior mages.

Apprentices like Edrich and Dean actually have a more appropriate title, that is - servants.

In fact, dozens of new apprentices join the Mage Tower every year, but at the same time some people leave. Only formal mages can really stay for a long time.

It's really "an iron-clad mage tower, a flowing apprentice". It's just an apprentice competition, so it's not a big problem.

"I think it is possible to hold an apprentice competition. Edrich, if you have connections in this area, you can inquire about it. If it is really risky, consider other forms."

Although Xia Duo was confident, he was only a new mage after all, and he had only joined the Mage Tower for less than a year. For some things, it was better to be on the safe side.

"No problem!" Edrich immediately agreed, "I can ask Uncle Siole. He is an intermediate mage and should know if there are any taboos here."

The two of them settled the matter in a few words. Dean and Sami were stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized that if there was really an apprentice competition, the top four would probably be The four of them took it all.

They have begun to look forward to what the original spell Sha Duo said is.

After that, several people discussed the details of the apprentice competition with Sha Duo, and they didn't leave until the dinner reserved by Sha Duo was delivered.

…

After dinner, Xia Duo continued the trial production of the [Steam Ray] scroll that had been interrupted before. Starting from the 1-ring scroll, special ink must be used.

Xia Duo has not bought new ink yet, but only has two bottles of red graphite water that were given when he purchased the scroll before. This ink is a relatively common ink used in making low-level magic scrolls.

It's called red stone, but it actually only contains a substance called "red stone powder". The ink itself is still black. Xia Duo doesn't know much about ink.

All I know is that unless it is some special spell, all first-level spells can be made into scrolls using this red graphite water.
