Xia Duo looked at the task of acquiring magic items. Other tasks such as duty, inspection, investigation, and miscellaneous items were not suitable for him. However, he just looked at it and did not accept the task.
After all, magic items can be regarded as hard currency and can be sold at any time. He just came here to see which items are in higher demand before making them accordingly.
After returning to his residence, Xia Duo quickly flipped through the two books he had just borrowed. After he had a general impression in his mind, he started copying them.
The one he copied was "[Levitation Technique] From Beginner to Mastery" written by Lord Epps. As for the other spell book, Shado didn't intend to copy it, or he didn't want to copy it now.
The content inside is relatively simple for Xia Duolai today. After a little research, he can make an arcane geometric analysis diagram of [Featherfall Technique].
However, the book written by Lord Epps was a bit difficult, so Xia Duo could only copy it first. After all, the rent of 150 gold coins per book was not cheap.
...Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower at noon, and that's when he contacted Niya. It wasn't until the evening that Niya gave him a reply.
At this time, Xia Duo's copying work was almost half completed. Niya asked him to meet in the lord's study on the top floor. Xia Duo did not dare to delay and quickly packed up the personal belongings in the residence, mainly the spell books copied before, the notes taken during the research process, and some sundries.
Of course, the most important and valuable ones are the [Soul Protection Scepter] and the gold-paper document proving the identity of the pioneer.
Arriving at the top floor, it was still the room where they met last time, but the light in the room was somehow much darker than before. A bad feeling suddenly arose in Xia Duo's heart.
Because there was insufficient light in the room, he could only see that Niya was leaning on the back of the chair at the moment, and the shadows shrouded her, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.
The atmosphere seems a little weird! Xia Duo murmured in his heart and did not dare to get too close to Niya's desk. He just bowed respectfully: "Teacher, I'm here!"
"Yeah." Niya's voice was a little hoarse, and there was no emotion or anger in her tone, but she just revealed deep tiredness.
"Find a place to sit down. Why didn't you contact me in advance when you came back this time?" Ordinary greetings were the same as in the past. Xia Duo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "There have been a lot of things in the territory recently. I have been busy and forgot about it. Definitely next time." As soon as the words came out, Xia Duo immediately realized that his mentor Niya seemed to have taken over the territory, and it was indeed a bit fake to mention that the territory was busy with affairs in front of her.
Fortunately, Niya just asked casually and did not go into details. She still said in a tired voice: "If you have any questions, just ask!" Niya's state prevented Sha Duo from saying anything about the mysterious lock situation. , so I took the opportunity to ask a question I encountered during the research on [Flying Seat], and then I made an excuse to leave.
Just when he went out, Sha Duo met Ai Burke. He originally thought that Ai Burke was here to see Niya. After bowing, he was going to go around.
Unexpectedly, Aiboke stopped him.
"I'm not here to find Niya. I'm here just to wait for you."
"Wait for me?" According to common sense, Aiboike and he had almost no interaction. One had advanced to become an arcanist, and the other was still a junior mage.
Why are you waiting here for him? Xia Duo was very confused.
"Excuse me, Lord Aibo, what do you want from me?" Aibo did not answer immediately. He first looked at Niya's room with pity, and then explained his purpose.
"Niya just tried to become an Arcanist, but failed. Please don't disturb her these days!"
"What?!" Xia Duo could hardly believe his ears,
"Lord Ai Burke, you are a mentor and she has already tried to advance to the arcanist level?" Ai Burke gave a positive answer and said: "Failure to advance will affect the spiritual will of the caster and needs to rest. Don't go. Disturb her!" Sha Duo was moved, not only because Niya was about to become an arcanist, but also because Niya hugged her
"Bi" answered her questions, which went beyond the normal relationship between mentor and apprentice.
"Yes, I will pay attention." Xia Duo quickly agreed,
"Lord Aibo, when will she recover, mentor?" Sha Duo's tone was full of sincerity. He really hoped that Niya could recover as soon as possible. Aibo looked at him deeply and finally said: " After three, come again.”
"yes."……
"[Scroll of Resistance]!" On the way back, Sha Duo couldn't help but sigh. He had already thought about it. There must be a reason for Niya to become an advanced arcanist so quickly. Besides [Scroll of Resistance] Don't think otherwise.
More than a month ago, after the Arcane Competition, Lord Epps announced Niya as the heir. At that time, Niya's spellcasting level was level 8.
To advance from a mage to an arcanist, you must be at least a level 10 mage. In other words, the minimum level for an arcanist is a high-level mage. It only took Niya more than a month to advance to two levels, which was faster than flying.
If she really succeeds in advancing this time, then an arcanist in her early 20s will definitely cause a big sensation in Severton.
This was not a disciple taught by the Grand Arcanist, but just a mage from a remote area.
Pity! I don’t know when I will advance next time! Currently, there are two conditions for advanced arcanist that Sha Duo knows about, one is a spellcasting level of at least level 10, and the other is proficiency in advanced arcane geometry.
This is what Niya has done with him before. Proficient in intermediate arcane geometry before reaching the intermediate level, and proficient in advanced arcane geometry before reaching the advanced level. This is almost the only path for every arcanist.
In addition to these, there must be other conditions, otherwise arcane masters would not be so rare. Among the official mage numbers 20 and 30 of the Tower of Time, only Aibok is an arcane master, not even a lord.
Shado also wants to become an arcanist, but he does not regret the deal with Lord Epps. He also has to read the [Nese Scroll]. Ordinary people and mages will definitely get different results.
Niya looked at the [Scroll of Resistance] and saw that she could try to advance to the Arcanist level, but it wasn't necessarily the case with Shado. Anyway, as long as she didn't die, she would always be able to see it in the future.
Back at his residence, Xia Duo continued copying books and didn't rest until late at night. ...Second, Xia Duo first continued to copy the parts he had not finished yesterday, and then began to study the [Feather Falling Technique], and made preliminary attempts with the help of the magic laboratory environment.
Before noon, Xia Duo drew the arcane geometric analysis diagram of [Feather Falling Technique] and successfully cast it once. After that, he only needed more practice to master it.
Of course, he also conducted a simple test on the actual effect of this spell, but it was only very vague and inconsistent with Xia Duo's expectations.
Maybe jumping down from a very high place would be more effective, but it was impossible for him to try that.
