Niya's reception room. After getting along with each other for this period of time, Xia Duo felt that his tutor Niya was relatively easy to get along with. Like most apprentices in the Mage Tower, age itself made it clear that even though it was not morning teaching time, Xia Duo called the door, and Niya still Let him in. It seems that Niya is relatively free recently.
"Shado, Parthif, please excuse me and thank you."
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." Xia Duo said modestly, but it was also true, and he also mixed in a few glasses of hot elf drink.
"With a little effort? Your description is quite unique!" Niya seemed to be in a good mood, and she didn't even mention that Xia Duo should step up his spell-casting training.
"Okay, what do you want from me?"
"Teacher, I obtained a spell outside, but it had no effect when I used it, so I came here to ask for advice." Sha Duo did not hide it.
Because there is not much point in hiding it, if you want to ask for advice, the other party will naturally know it. Instead of being secretive, it is better to come out openly.
Niya showed a curious expression and asked with interest: "What kind of spell is it?"
"The seller is [Charming Humans]." Xia Duo said bravely. If there is really a ban on psychic spells, we will see the result next.
Silence, but no punishment.
"Then what?" Nia asked. Sha Duo hurriedly handed over the inner pages of the notes he had prepared in advance. Niya seemed to have no difficulty in recording and describing the mage's routine.
But she only glanced at it and then frowned,
"This is not [Charm Humanity]!" Niya, an intermediate mage, must be more valuable than Griffith. Niya concluded that this is not [Charm Humanity], so this spell is most likely not [Charm Humanity].
Sha Duo felt a little disappointed and continued to look at Niya, waiting for her conclusion. Soon, Niya finished reading the notes and then sent the three inner pages over.
"You must have been deceived. This is an elf spell."
"Elven spells?" Sha Duo was very surprised. Even elven spells appeared. Could it be that the maker of Griffith's scroll was an elf.
It’s no wonder Xia Duo made such an association. Recently, a suspected elf mage came to the Saville Territory. If it’s that person——
"Does this spell need to be cast by elves?" As soon as he asked this question, Xia Duo secretly cursed an idiot. Didn't the Nese people learn elven spells before?
But Shado still told Niya his guess. No matter how he laid a trap for Griffith first and then used elf magic to pretend to be psychic magic, he couldn't figure it out.
He defrauded Xia Duo of 1,000 gold coins!
"Your mid-level mage Griffith, I will report it to the mage tower." Then Niya directly contacted the tower spirit, and she didn't know what news was passed on.
After a pass, Xia Duo looked anxious. Now the spiritual spell has been changed into an elf spell, and he still doesn’t know what kind of spell it is!
Therefore, as soon as Niya ended the communication, Sha Duo couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher, what about this spell——"
"This spell is called [*%#^] among the elves!" Niya said a strange elven language.
Xia Duo was full of questions. There was a book of Elf poetry in the book list that Niya gave him before, but he had never made plans to learn Elf language. Now Niya's words are like playing the piano to an ox.
Fortunately, Niya also knew that it was impossible for Xia Duo to learn this Elvish vocabulary in a short time, so she explained it again in Nese language.
"This Elvish word describes the process of a golden sun flower blooming, and when translated into Nese language it almost means [flowers blooming].
"The actual function of this spell is only to promote the growth of plants to a limited extent, and it is also used in arcane gardens." With this explanation, Xia Duo understood that 1,000 gold coins were not worth it, but at least he could get some money back. The question now was whether he could Can't learn!
"Teacher, how should I cast this spell?" Xia Duo's anxious look made Niya want to laugh. She had also pestered her father in this way, so she repeated her father's original words at that time,
"You will never understand this spell without learning Elvish."
"..." Xia Duo was speechless. Being unable to understand does not mean that you cannot learn!
"Okay, I can teach you how to cast [Blooming Flowers], but the Arcane Competition -"
"I promise to get the ranking!" Although Xia Duo's operation is not good, it is not a big problem to defend with all his strength. If he uses up the number of spells cast by others, he will naturally win.
Although this is somewhat disgraceful, it is not prohibited by the competition rules. Niya didn't know where this apprentice's confidence came from, but it was good to have confidence. She once again told him to train more, and then began to teach Xia Duo how to cast this elf spell.
"[The ultimate life, flowers in full bloom]!" Niya recited a line of Elvish language and asked Xia Duo to learn the same.
[Beautiful life, flowers bloom], this is obviously not a normal spoken language, but a poem like an aria. Although the Elvish language itself is very tactful and beautiful, the sentence taught by Niya has a strange rhythm.
Xia Duo just repeated one sentence and unconsciously moved the magic net. Xia Duo was shocked. If the elves can affect the magic network and cast magic with words alone, then they are really a magical race!
Of course, the truth is not that simple, but no matter what, Elvish language really shocked Sha Duo!
It was just a sentence in Elvish language, so it was easy to memorize it, but what really mattered was the coordination of the voice and intonation and the manipulation of the magic net. Niya also focused on this part.
Xia Duo recorded and remembered. Finally, Niya personally demonstrated a [Flowers in Bloom] - it was a fruit plate on the table and several fruits on it. Under the influence of magic, the pulp quickly withered and turned into dust. , but the core is full of vitality, which can even be felt intuitively with the naked eye.
Finally, a few green shoots broke out from the core and grew on the fruit plate. Simply a miracle!
Although Xia Duo had been working in the Arcane Garden for a while before and had seen the accelerated growth of plants many times, none of them were as shocking as this.
At such a close distance, I witnessed with my own eyes a person casting a spell that allowed the fruit core to skip the long growth period.
"Teacher, can these saplings survive?"
"Why can't you live? Aren't you already alive?" Niya was a little surprised by Xia Duo's question, but then she straightened her face.
"I've learned spells, but I can't be too obsessed with it! Don't relax in spell-casting training!"
"..." Xia Duo could only respond.
"Go back."... Until Xia Duo returned to his residence, he was still thinking about those saplings. He once heard adventurers talk about anecdotes about elves. It is said that when elves want to eat fruits outside, they plant them and pick them. Now it seems that this is really possible!
However, he has now (soon) learned this spell, and he will be able to eat fresh fruit at any time in the future!
Next, Xia Duo's life was back on track. While researching, studying, and training, Xia Duo also recited a few Elvish spells taught by Niya from time to time.
The more he recited it, the more interesting Xia Duo found it, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but the Elvish spell seemed to be somewhat helpful for spell-casting training.
Therefore, in the original plan, it made sense to move the plan of learning Elvish language a little further forward.
In this way, time soon came to the eve of the Arcane Competition.
