On the other side, after Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower, he immediately went to the task management office, handed over the task, and successfully obtained 400 gold coins.
At this point, the mission indicator is: , almost completed. It is just a pity that Parthiv has left the mage tower. It is estimated that it is unlikely to give him further mission rewards.
Of course, Xia Duo didn't actually find much out of his investigation, but he completed a 400-gold-coin task in less than half a day and already made a lot of money.
He has nothing to complain about. Life will go on. If he can complete the task indicators before elevating his authority, then he can concentrate on doing what a formal mage should do.
While complaining about the mission promotion system of the Mage Tower, I continue to select missions. It feels really uncomfortable to force the real fragrance!
It's just that it's getting late today, the tasks will not be updated, and the only tasks are basically those he has picked. Xia Duo just scanned them once and then gave up, preparing to come back the next time.
If we could encounter such a cost-effective task again, it would be a matter of seconds! After dinner, Xia Duo was about to go to the library to stay for a while. Unexpectedly, he suddenly received a notification from Ta Ling on the way——
"Apprentice Xia Duo, the permission enhancement process has been started. Please go to the assessment room as soon as possible to wait for the assessment." Xia Duo was shocked, and he was finally here!
The lord finally appears! If he had chosen management permissions, or had completed the promotion task indicators for apprentice permissions, he would have been able to upgrade his permissions long ago.
It is precisely because the target has not been completed and the authority needs to be upgraded, and the lord needs to intervene, that it is stuck here. Under normal circumstances, apprentices will not encounter this situation after becoming an official mage.
And Xia Duo is also looking forward to it. Will he see the lord? Will he show his sharpness or hide his weakness?
First of all, one thing is that the last similar case was Adrian, and in the end he became the lord's student, which made Sha Duo look forward to it.
And if he could become the lord's student, his future would be very secure. At least until now, he had never heard of anything happening to the lord's students.
Thinking like this, Xia Duo walked to the public-level assessment room much more briskly. As he walked, he looked forward to the days of becoming a lord's student, and at the same time, he was distracted by the issue of [Steam Ray].
If I have to take a test later, it will definitely be this [Steam Ray]. When he created this magic, Xia Duo only considered breaking through the first level of the magic network, and did not think much about the practicality of the magic.
Of course, this does not mean that [Steam Ray] is useless at all, but Xia Duo thinks it can be improved to make it more practical.
He already has some ideas, but this idea may be considered deviant in the Mage Tower, and Sha Duo is not ready to demonstrate it in front of outsiders for the time being.
...The mage on duty in the assessment room today is still Mage Depak from last time. The last time he lent Sha Duo the magic book, Sha Duo hadn't finished reading it yet. Unexpectedly, the two met again not long after.
"Lord De Parker, I just received a notice from the tower spirit, asking me to come over for assessment——" Xia Duo scanned the room without leaving a trace. The room was not big and there was no way to hide people. The absence of the lord made him feel a little embarrassed. disappointment.
He did not doubt that the lord had used magic to become invisible. After all, he was not a special person, so what qualifications did he have for the lord to become invisible and observe!
And what Master Depak said next made him even more certain of this.
"Xia Duo, the assessment is just a formality. The lord has agreed to upgrade your authority. The main reason for calling you here is to arrange a mentor for you."
"Arrangement", Xia Duo understood that he could no longer be a lord student! Xia Duo was very furious. He missed such a great opportunity. He thought that whether it was upgrading speed or understanding of magic, he was better than Adrian. How could the lord let him go?
But on the surface, he still had to maintain a polite attitude and said respectfully: "Yes!" Depak was very satisfied with Xia Duo's attitude.
"You're here to perform your last magic, was it the Arrogant Steam Ray?"
"Yes, but here?" Xia Duo asked doubtfully, but he did not doubt the strength of the Master Depak in front of him, but was it a bit hasty to just assess him like this?
"Yes, it's right here, hurry up! I'll take you to see your mentor later!" Then, Master Depak cast a protective magic, which appeared like a translucent red shield, and he signaled at the same time Chateau,
"Come on this!" Xia Duo nodded and instantly entered a state of concentration on spell casting. The shield in his field of vision emitted a bright magical aura, and Xia Duo could vaguely discern the general structure of the spell.
But for its specific magical elements, only the most superficial part can be seen. Although Sha Duo was very curious about the other party's spell, the other party's spell was not for him to study, and of course it was not to test Sha Duo's [Steam Ray].
But to prevent Xia Duo's spell from damaging other places. Sure enough, after Xia Duo fired the [Steam Ray], the ray that was not originally pointed at the center of the shield actually turned around and flew towards the center.
Once it came into contact with the center of Master Depak's spell shield, the steam ray was instantly extinguished without even a trace leaking out, which surprised Xia Duo.
Such hard
"Eating" magic is not a firework method. Even Xia Duo himself cannot do it. He can counter his own [steam ray], but it is impossible to do it without any ripples.
After all, the key point of counterattack is to completely reverse the opponent's spellcasting details. Even if it is done by the same person, the details will be different due to the different state when casting the spell.
In essence, any spell cast by a person will be different. The difference lies in the fact that some mages can control the variables extremely accurately.
Of course, Xia Duo felt that this was Master Depak taking advantage of unknown magic. This kind of magic that specifically controlled rays was the key to completely eliminating Sha Duo's spell.
Although Xia Duo sighed, was surprised, and even awed, he was not discouraged at all. He knew that there was always someone who could do all this, and he would do it better than the other person.
After only casting [Steam Ray] once, Sha Duo stopped and waited for Master Depak's evaluation.
"Yes, it is indeed a level 1 spell, and it is also a brand-new spell that has not been recorded, and its power is also very impressive." After that, Master Depak cast a spell to leave a mark on a piece of parchment on the table, and teleported it out. Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo heard the familiar tower spirit prompt sound again——
"Mage Xia Duo, congratulations on your promotion to the official apprentice mage authority. The current authority is level 1." The level 1 authority sounds like the lowest level. This is a big gap from what Sha Duo originally expected to become a lord student. Come on!
No matter how good his mentality was, he still couldn't bear it. He subconsciously asked,
"How many levels of authority does the mage tower have?!"
"Haha, Xia Duo, don't worry. After I take you to meet your instructor, your instructor will upgrade your authority for you." It's okay if you don't say this. As soon as Xia Duo feels cold, he will be upgraded in the future. The channels of authority are all in the hands of the instructor, which is too sad!
Is it another kind of bonded work? Then De Parker handed Sha Duo a Tower of Time badge and said: "This badge allows you to contact the tower spirit outside the mage tower. Keep it!" Sha Duo took the badge numbly. This thing is essentially useless. Is it the one he received at the award ceremony before?
The only difference is that the badge he has now has no inscription on the back.
“Alas——” He sighed deeply in his heart and followed Master Depak to see the so-called
"Mentor"!
