In the afternoon, Sha Duo first went through a subpoena with Edrich and the others to inquire about the situation of the apprentice competition. The result was very gratifying. Edrich asked someone to ask, and the Mage Tower did not prohibit it, and of course it did not encourage it.
The premise of everything is that the relevant regulations of the Mage Tower cannot be violated and one's own duties cannot be delayed - apprentices are essentially servants and have to work.
And Edrich and the others have already solicited opinions among the apprentices to see what form of competition they will organize. The apprentice competition will definitely be different from the official arcane competition that the territory will soon hold.
Xia Duo gave a few words of encouragement and then went to the material application office. ...Public floor, Material Request Office No. 6. Perhaps because the classes at the Master Tower had already begun, the material application area was particularly deserted in the afternoon, but this was particularly enjoyable for Master Jose.
Although in normal times, most of the work is taken over by apprentices, so he is not often disturbed, but it is still not comparable to when he was not working.
When there is no chance, even the apprentice on duty will try not to make any sound, allowing him to think quietly for a while.
If he was in a good mood, he might give the apprentice a chance to ask questions. For this reason, even if he couldn't make much money working in the material requisition office, there would still be people who had sharpened their heads and squeezed in.
But not every material requisition office has an official mage on duty, and not every mage on duty will say such kind things to him.
After a quick glance, he saw that the apprentice was tidying up the counter gently, taking stock of his mind. Master Jose nodded with satisfaction, ready to allow him to ask a question during the break.
At this moment, there was a whisper from the door. Master Jose frowned, looked over, and then relaxed again. It turned out to be an official mage, and he knew that he was coming.
"Master Jose, would you like to take a look at this scroll?" Sha Duo took out a [Steam Ray] scroll and handed it over.
"Huh?" Master Jose was stunned for a moment, but he quickly took the scroll, inspected it from the outside first, and then took a closer look.
After a long time, he took his eyes away from the scroll, looked at Xia Duo, and asked: "Are you -" Although Xia Duo recognized Master Jose, the other party obviously did not remember him.
"Master Jose, just call me Xia Duo."
"Master Xia Duo, if we read correctly, this should be a brand new spell?"
"Yes!"
"This is rare. There have been no new spells in the Mage Tower for a while!" Mage Jose seemed to be feeling something. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.
"Xia Duo, Xia Duo, are you the apprentice brought back by Master Leonard?"
"Yes, it's me."
"How did you -" Master Jose had already remembered that Xia Duo exchanged many 0-level learning scrolls here, and it also involved the lord's student Leonard, which had a profound impact on him at that time.
It was only later that the two of them had not interacted with each other for such a long time, and Master Jose had long forgotten about it. It was hearing this name just now that made him recall it.
"Congratulations, you have become an official mage." Jose's tone was a bit sad. People like Xia Duo are indeed rare. It is impossible not to envy him.
"What are you going to do with this scroll?"
"Ask about the price. If it's suitable, I might sell a batch regularly." Xia Duo said calmly.
"Did you make this magic scroll?" Jose was very surprised and could no longer maintain a calm expression on his face.
"I am, this is a rare gem."
"Thank you for the compliment. What price can this scroll be sold for?" Xia Duo didn't care whether it was a high-quality product or not. He would know the situation. What he really cared about was the price and whether it was worth his long-term production.
Jose checked the scroll. Although it was an encrypted ordinary version, he could also deduce some information, such as that it was an offensive spell.
However, the specific use effect will only be known after actual testing. After all, it is not a common popular reel, so Jose did not directly quote.
"I need to actually test it once, but you don't have to have high hopes. There are too many 1-ring magic scrolls to choose from. Even if the effect is special, I estimate it will not exceed 30 gold coins." Xia Duo was greatly surprised. I thought the price would be reduced. After all, Mage Tower knew very well the cost of a 1-ring scroll. It could reach 30 gold coins, which actually exceeded Xia Duo's expectations.
"Master Jose can test it, but I recommend using living creatures to test it. I call this spell [Steam Ray], which has miraculous effects on living creatures."
"Don't worry, the Mage Tower has a special testing process for this type of spell." Mage Jose suggested,
"Want to come and have a look?"
"Is this okay?"
"Of course, I think you may need it in the future." Master Jose gave an affirmative answer.
Sha Duo immediately became interested. He didn't know that there was such a place in the Mage Tower. After all, his time in the Mage Tower was too short.
After a few words with the apprentice on duty, Master Jose took Xia Duo into the elevator next to the No. 6 material application office.
"The place we are going to is on the underground floor of the Mage Tower. There are special blasting rooms, bondage rooms, sealing rooms, and dungeons. You will often deal with them there in the future." With that, Master Jose ordered the tower spirit to send them there. basement one.
...On the way, Master Jose asked Xia Duo for two more ordinary version scrolls. Generally speaking, the emergence of a new spell must go through multiple and repeated tests. This test is not a feasibility experiment before and after the spell is completed, but a functional test similar to the product.
For example, for Xia Duo's [Steam Ray], he only completed a feasibility experiment to prove that this spell can really emit steam rays.
He has not actually tested it with living organisms. As for the effect, he speculated based on the fact that someone on earth was burned by high-temperature steam.
Burns are not an instant fatal injury, but they can quickly make people lose their ability to resist, so this spell was nicknamed by Sha Duo
"Non-fatal rapid incapacitating spell". However, for scrolls, 3 copies are almost enough. After all, the person using the scroll can only simply guide the spells. Even when used by non-spellcasters, they cannot even perform basic guidance and can only follow the instructions preset by the scroll maker. Release it.
For this reason, non-spellcasters are generally reluctant to use offensive spells. By accident, the enemy did not hit him, but he was killed. This was funny.
When Master Jose mentioned this to him, Shado immediately realized that he had chosen the wrong spell. [Steam Ray] may become a hit in a short period of time due to its novelty, but in the long run, it will not sell as well as the auxiliary magic scroll.
There was no time to worry, the elevator had already stopped at the underground level of the Mage Tower.
"arrive."
