Arcane Lord

Chateau's mithril pen writes extremely smoothly, and the pen tip slides across the parchment paper with almost no resistance. This feeling reminds him of the ballpoint pen on Earth.

But unfortunately, this mithril pen still needs to be dipped in ink when writing, instead of storing the ink inside the mithril pen, similar to the structure of a fountain pen.

Fortunately, the comfortable writing feel made Xia Duo ignore this minor problem. However, after having a good writing pen, Xia Duo thought of ink again.

The ink he uses every day is just the most common kind, even mixed with water, which makes him feel that this low-quality ink is not a good match for the exquisite mithril pen in his hand.

It's just that ink is the most important consumable for a mage. If you really want to find good and expensive ones, it's a bottomless pit.

For example, the red graphite water that was given away with the mithril pen last time contained a not-so-rare red stone mineral, and the store retail price was as high as 20 gold coins per bottle.

More advanced inks even use gemstone powder and the blood of magical beasts.

That is beyond the reach of Xia Duo now.

However, Xia Duo is not an ascetic monk with no emotions and desires. On the contrary, he has too many desires and enjoys it. If conditions permit, there is nothing wrong with slightly improving his living environment and learning tools!

After making up his mind to treat himself a little after getting rid of the magic items, Xia Duo entered a research state while looking at the familiar words and graphics in his notes.

Now the strong light in the Arcane Garden could no longer disturb him at all. It was unknown how long time had passed, but Xia Duo suddenly discovered that two people were standing not far in front of him.

Although they and Xia Duo were both under the shade of the same apple tree, he obviously made the light on Xia Duo's side darker.

"Sammy, Devine! How long have you been here?"

"I just came here. I saw you were in deep thought so I didn't bother you."

"By the way, what do you want from me?"

"This -" Sami suddenly became a little shy, turned his head and glanced at Devine, then took out a bag of gold coins from the inner pocket of his robe and placed it on the Xia Duoshen Gang, "We want to treat you Guidance on some questions.”

At the same time, Devine also took out a bag of gold coins and repeatedly echoed, "Yes, yes."

Xia Duo stretched out his hand, picked up the two bags of gold coins, stood up, and shook them. They were quite heavy, probably hundreds of them. It seemed that the two of them had spent a lot of money.

"I can't guarantee that I can answer whatever questions you want to ask."

"We would like to ask some questions about the principles of magic and the nature of the magic net." Sami and Devine said in unison.

Xia Duo was happy when he heard this. These two people wanted to become official mages! Sure enough, he is not the only one with such ideas, determination, and ability to act.

Thinking of an idea he had last night, Xia Duo decided to agree without much thought, but returned the gold coins in his hand, "I have a better idea now, do you want to hear it?"

"what idea?"

"I decided to set up a mutual aid study group. Any member in the group can ask questions to other group members, and as long as they can answer them, they are not allowed to shirk them. Of course, these questions are limited to the field of magic. What do you think?"

This idea had actually occurred to him when he first joined Mage Tower, but at that time he had no confidence to set up such an organization, and it was impossible for others to believe it.

It wasn't until last night that he decided to be a little more radical because he felt deeply that he was alone and weak.

Now, he has enough confidence to establish such an organization among apprentices. He believes that apprentices who have tasted the benefits of helping each other will not give up easily.

After listening to Sha Duo's words, Sami and Devine were stunned on the spot. They had never seen or thought about this kind of mutual aid study group.

"Is this okay? Won't the Mage Tower stop it?"

This is indeed what Xia Duo is worried about, but if the scope of the mutual aid group is limited to apprentices, and the content of the exchange does not involve specific spells, it only discusses the principles of spells and the nature of the magic network.

That would be much less of a problem.

Of course, it is possible that this is even encouraged by Mage Tower. No one can predict it before actually doing it, but it is certain that communication can promote progress. Even for himself, Sha Duo has to get out of the study group.

"We have not violated any prohibitions, so what reason does the Mage Tower have to stop it!"

Xia Duoqiang pretended to be confident and said in a very firm tone, "If you want to become an official mage as soon as possible, the mutual aid study group is your best chance."

Sami and Devine were still hesitating. They were not sure what the consequences of joining such an organization would be. At this time, Xia Duo added fuel to the fire again, "I can become an official mage in one year at the latest! "

"What?!"

The shocked expression on Sami's face and the money bag falling from Devine's hand showed the shock in the two people's hearts. Compared to Devine, Sami knew Shado better:

"Didn't you just join the Mage Tower this year? And I remember that you just learned the Nese language writing before? How--"

"Why do you want to become an official mage so soon, right?" Sha Duo took over, "Nese language writing actually has little to do with magic. It's just a kind of writing used to record knowledge. The essence of magic lies there. , eternal, even if it is recorded in orc language, there will still be no difference. "

Sammy was speechless and Devine was silent.

After a long time, Sami spoke, with a trembling and eager tone, "Can I become an official mage by joining a mutual aid study group?"

Devine also looked at Sha Duo expectantly, as if he wanted to get a positive answer from him.

But Xia Duo shook his head. He understood the reason why people are weak and want to look forward to Shu, so he would not promise anything easily. Moreover, he knew that the two of them were already attracted and was not afraid that they would not join.

"I can't guarantee that you will become an official mage if you join the study group, but what is certain is that you won't lose anything by joining, right?"

"Let's join!" Sammy and I said immediately, "Then can we ask you now?"

Xia Duo shook his head again. He organized the study group not to provide free warmth to the people of other worlds, but to gain certain wings and a thinking perspective other than his own through this method.

Therefore, necessary rules still need to be established.

"Don't ask in advance. I think we should complete some details of the study group first. There must be more than three of us in the group. You don't want to have no private time and be asked questions wherever you go."

"This -" Sami felt that Sha Duo was saying that they were disturbing his private time, but after all, Sha Duo took the initiative, and they had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay. When will the study group be officially established?"

"There are no classes in the afternoon. I will rent a magic laboratory. We will discuss it then."

After saying that, Xia Duo sat down under the tree again and ignored them. Joining a study group must be done willingly without any resistance.

Now that the bait has been released, being too proactive will degrade one's status and authority.
