Arcane Lord

Next, both of them honestly took out their notes and began to copy the spell, because neither of them had learned this spell before.

Xia Duo wanted to show off a wave of arcane geometry results, but he was unable to transform all the spell structures and elements he had seen for the first time into flat graphics in a short period of time.

Therefore, like Ganal, he could only record this spell through some conventional symbols and language.

For now, there is no need to record such spells in cipher text, or in other words, Xia Duo, who is unwilling to use earth characters, has not yet begun to study his own cipher text.

…

Time passed little by little, and soon the two of them finished recording the [Magic Missile], and then studied, understood, and memorized it separately.

But until noon, Niya still made no move. Xia Duo tentatively asked, "Teacher, Tutor Niya!"

"..."

There was no reaction. This should not be a normal reaction for an intermediate mage. Shado realized that Niya might have left, so he discussed it with Ganal:

"It's already noon. Should we leave first or wait for Teacher Niya to come back?"

Maybe his words triggered something. Before Ganal could react, a stiff but clearly identifiable voice came from Niya's side——

"Practice by yourself after you go back. I want to see you successfully cast the spell tomorrow morning!"

When the sound ended, Niya's figure also dissipated little by little.

Seeing this scene, Chateau and Ganal looked at each other in confusion. In the end, Chateau was the first to say, "Let's leave first!"

"good!"

…

Since the rules of the arcane competition have been determined, Shado's plan has also undergone great changes in order to cope with the competition.

First of all, scroll production has stopped. Making scrolls is equivalent to casting spells. He has to use the limited spell casting opportunities every day in training spell duels.

Secondly, I have less time at my disposal. I have to go to Niya’s place in the morning, and in the afternoon I have to practice on my own and study the plane transformation of the spell structure.

Sometimes, Ganal would come to him for sparring, which made Chateau feel that time was more pressing than ever. Of course, the greater urgency comes from the mentor Nia, because she is not satisfied with the performance of Chateau and Ganal.

Although Xia Duo's progress is very fast, due to the short time he has been exposed to magic, his spell-casting skills are almost absolute shortcomings.

Even though he started learning [Magic Missile] at the same time as Ganal, there was a clear gap between him and Ganal in terms of spell casting proficiency.

It's just that this gap can be made up with skills, but skills also require proficiency, not to mention that skills can't be compared to Ganal.

This gap is like a novice carpenter and a person who has been a carpenter for three years making a piece of furniture at the same time. Even if the former knows more skills, nothing can be changed.

Because this level of skill alone doesn't make up for experience.

During a spell duel practice, Shado had just countered the magic missile launched by Ganal when he was stopped by Niya. From the expressionless look on her face, it could be seen that the instructor was very dissatisfied and the instructor was very angry.

"Xia Duo, you don't need to practice confrontation anymore. I know you are very talented and have a deep understanding of the nature of magic. But why do you have to wait until the magic missile is almost in your face before you can successfully counter it? Do you know?"

Xia Duo was silent, he knew, and because of knowing, he was speechless. Even for 0-level spells, he couldn't cast them all instantly, let alone the newly learned 1-level spells!

Spellcasting training, like physical training, requires recovery. It is impossible to practice all the time. The time to be exposed to magic and become a mage is too short, which is Xia Duo's biggest shortcoming.

If there hadn't been this arcane competition, Shado could still practice slowly and eventually make up for it, but with this relatively "rushed" arcane competition, Shado's shortcomings were completely exposed.

Before, Xia Duo's plan was too optimistic. He always thought that as long as he stayed in the mage tower and practiced spell casting, he could put it on the back burner. But now reality gave him a blow.

Fortunately, this time it is just an arcane competition and there will be no danger, but if there is a sudden battle sign like the orc wave last year, it will not be good.

Perhaps he is strong enough to deal with most situations, but as long as he misses once, it will be too late to regret.

Now Xia Duo has been practicing intensively, but still cannot satisfy instructor Niya.

At this moment, the sparring was stopped, and Shado had no choice but to hide in the exchange to practice alone. As for Ganal, Niya replaced Shado to train him.

…

While Shado and Ganal were training intensely, there was a white tower in the core area of ​​the empire, the Iolum territory.

Lord Epps of the Saville Territory has been staying here for several days, but he has never seen his grandfather's fellow sect, the Great Arcanist Brod.

Of course, Iolum, his grandfather, the great arcanist teacher of Savile, was even less likely to meet him. Ever since he arrived here, he had been kept in the guest room by Brod's housekeeper.

He neither said he had seen him nor said he would not see him. When asking the butler, the answer would always be - the master is conducting an important experiment, please be patient.

Never be rude, but never do anything. The celebration that Lord Epps has prepared is less than half a month away, and the Arcane Competition will be just after the celebration.

We must invite enough important guests and contestants, otherwise, Savile Territory may really become a laughing stock.

Lord Epps guessed that Her Royal Highness the Princess might have some arrangements, but he would not bet all the reputation of the Savile family on the Princess, and he himself had to fight for it as much as possible.

In the guest room, Lord Epps was pacing back and forth. Just now, Aiboike sent him a message, asking him to return to the territory as soon as possible. As a lord, it is always bad to not show up for a long time.

"well--"

Epps sighed and looked extremely disappointed. He might not be able to see Grand Arcanist Brod this time. He was going to do the next best thing and find Brod's students to support the scene.

"Ta Ling, is Archmage Galvani available now?"

The tower spirit responded immediately, "If you are not authorized, please ask Butler Miller, the director of the Mage Tower."

As soon as he heard Butler Miller, Epps clenched his fists subconsciously. He really didn't want to face that zombie face who seemed polite but was actually extremely cold.

Of course, the most important thing is that Butler Miller is also a high-level mage. Facing him, Epps has no psychological advantage at all.

But thinking about Taling's answer of "not authorized" just now, even Epps, who is Taling's true nature, knew in his heart that there was no way around Butler Miller's hurdle.

Sighing again, Epps reluctantly put his hand on the calling device in the room.

After a moment, a figure appeared in the room, it was the smiling Butler Miller, "Lord Savile, what are your orders?"

Epps suppressed a smile and asked, "Is Archmage Galvani available now?"

"The Archmage's whereabouts have not been authorized, so I cannot answer." While refusing, Butler Miller still looked at Epps with a smile.

"Lord Savile, do you have any other questions?"

"..."
