Back at his residence, Shaduo ate breakfast and got familiar with the environment under the guidance of the tower spirit. Then he read the magic book called "Elementary Arcane Geometry".
Several days have passed since Depak lent him this book. He has flipped through nearly 100 pages of this seemingly thin book, but he still hasn't finished it.
But it’s coming soon. Judging from the content of the book, it’s already coming to an end. Through this book, Shado learned how Nese mages accurately describe the structure and even elements of spells. This is an enlightenment book that uses geometry to define magic.
The spells that Shado originally recorded in his notes needed to be described in words, especially when it came to details. Nese language words could not even accurately describe them, and Elvish language was also needed.
But Xia Duo only knew a handful of Elvish words and didn't even know their pronunciation. Recording a spell was not only cumbersome but also prone to errors.
However, as long as he learns arcane geometry, Shado can accurately describe and record spells in the form of geometry, which is more intuitive, more relevant and more accurate than written records.
The more people are interested in exploring the principles and essence of magic, the more they will pay attention to it. Although the various conveniences brought by mastering arcane geometry are not obvious at low levels, as the spells mastered become more and more complex, the advantages will become more and more obvious.
Now Xia Duo was eager to finish reading this book and find the next intermediate and advanced parts. It was rare to encounter a systematic magic book, and he wanted to read it all.
...While Xia Duo was reading silently, time passed little by little. When he came back to his senses again and asked Ta Ling, it was already around 6 a.m.
Guessing that someone was already at the supplies requisition office, Xia Duo went out immediately. After going to two material application offices, I collected everything - two everyday robes that looked like they had no magical power at all; some loose parchment, two bottles of ink; a "Tower Spirit Instruction Book"; Catalog of this book.
Among them, what Xia Duo values the most is the book catalogue. Although there are many books on it that are beyond his borrowing authority, you can guess a few things by looking at the names.
It's nothing like the apprenticeship stage, you can't even see the name. And the most important thing is that you can select specific books from the catalog and have Talling deliver them. Of course, this will cost extra.
But sometimes when it is inconvenient to leave, or when you feel that time is more valuable than gold coins, you can choose to have the tower spirit send it over.
As for the tower spirit instruction set, Xia Duo only briefly browsed it, because for a formal mage, the tower spirit was much more flexible. He looked at the instruction set just to see if there were any instructions that he had never thought of.
Sometimes some unpopular instructions may have strange uses! ...Niya's research room is not far from Xia Duo. They are both on the same floor. No matter how far away it is, it can't be far away.
When Xia Duo arrived, the door of Niya's laboratory was closed, which put him in a dilemma. He knew the basic functions of the laboratory.
Even the reception room that you just entered has soundproofing measures, and the laboratory inside has a lot of isolation magic. Even if there is a quarrel inside, the outside will not notice at all.
On the other hand, any situation outside will not be known to the inside unless it is under shadow surveillance" or
"alarm". But when a mage is busy, how can he have time to keep an eye on the surveillance camera! As for the alarm, Xia Duo was not sure whether there was an alarm, let alone how to trigger it.
Master Depak brought him here yesterday, and Master Depak has Niya’s contact information. Even so, it still took a while!
Just when Xia Duo was in trouble, the door suddenly opened and a clear voice came out,
"Come in!" Sha Duo walked in quickly. In the main seat of the reception room was sitting the teacher Niya whom he had met yesterday, and there was an acquaintance beside him.
It's Canal! Xia Duo first bowed to Niya and called out,
"Mentor!" Then he gestured slightly to Ganal. The expression on Ganal's face at this moment was very wonderful, and memories of the past flooded into his mind.
He never would have thought that Xia Duo, who had just joined the Mage Tower last year, would become an official mage this year and become his mentor's apprentice.
It's a little unbelievable to think about the truth, and then think about last year's Moon Festival, when he met Xia Duo at the Adventurer Bar and had a few chats with him like a show off.
I didn't expect that Xia Duo would suddenly catch up this year. No, it was impossible to suddenly become a mage. There must have been a process before. There must have been signs during the Moon Festival. At that time, Xia Duo was actually laughing at him. .
The more Ganal thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. However, it was not that he was jealous of Sha Duo, but that he felt embarrassed in front of Sha Duo.
At this time, Niya also spoke and pointed out a location to Xia Duo.
"You can sit over there for now. Next time you come, just knock on the door normally."
"Yes." Xia Duo was curious, but took it for granted, so he stopped thinking about it and sat down.
"Xia Duo, I heard you have started learning arcane geometry?" Niya asked. Depak told her?
This thought just stirred in Xia Duo's mind for a moment, and then fell silent. Xia Duo replied,
"Yes."
"Very good." Niya turned to Ganal again,
"Have you read all the books I asked you to read?" Ganal replied quickly,
"I've read it all. I have a lot of questions that I need to ask the instructor for help!"
"Don't rush your questions. Later, you can give Xia a copy of the book list I gave you. From now on, I will teach you every Monday morning and answer questions on Tuesday morning. You can make your own arrangements for the rest of the time. Don't disturb me. I, are you clear?" Niya's words were quite powerful, and Xia Duo couldn't distinguish between good and bad for the time being, but Ganal couldn't wait to agree, and Xia Duo could only follow.
"It's clear!" Then Niya stopped talking nonsense and started teaching arcane geometry directly. However, Xia Duo's mind was not on the class. The content of Niya's lecture was quite simple, and it was probably the first time she taught it to others. , almost entirely scripted.
Sha Duo has already heard several passages from the magic book "Elementary Arcane Geometry", which are exactly the same as the original text without any changes.
Moreover, during the demonstration, the cases in the magic book were directly copied. Although a beautiful instructor was giving the lecture, Xia Duo was already very familiar with the content.
There was nothing new, and Xia Duo only felt that it was a waste of time, but he did not dare to leave directly, so he could only pretend to listen carefully.
But his attention was focused on other places, such as the furnishings in the reception room, such as Ganal's reaction, such as Niya herself.
Especially Niya, people always like beautiful things, beautiful scenery is pleasing to the eye, and beautiful women naturally make people feel happy.
Even if it was a waste of time, Xia Duo would rather waste it looking at Niya.
