Arcane Lord

Speaking of his younger brother, Sami said more, "Unfortunately, my younger brother’s talent is too bad. After three years in the Master Tower, he has not been able to become an official apprentice. The family really can’t afford an untalented apprentice, so let him go back. I just left yesterday."

　　 Xia Duo Ran, the agreement period for the apprentice to join the Mage Tower is three years. If there is no idea of ​​improvement, it is nothing more than a job with a lower salary and a little bit of knowledge.

　　 But if you save for improvement, you won’t have enough money to make it.

　　 Xia Duo could see that Sami’s family should be okay, at least a little richer than Neil’s family, but even so, it couldn’t afford two children to learn magic at the same time.

　　 seems to feel pressure again.

　　 Until the Arcane Garden was located, Sammy only condensed his emotions slightly, and turned into the image of the mage in Xia Duo's impression, sensible and indifferent.

　　 Stepping out of the elevator is the Arcane Garden. The entire second floor is like an independent space, with farmland, corrals, rivers, mills, and houses.

The destination of Xia Duo and others was the house. From a distance, they saw a row of stone houses in front of a middle-aged man wearing a linen shirt with bare arms, looking at the booklet in his hand, right. The arrival of Xia Duo and others didn't care.

　　 "Master Mage, we are here to supplement the manpower of the Arcane Garden." After approaching, Sami said softly.

"Yeah. Sami, right, and Xia Duo." The mage looked at Sami, then glanced at Xia Duo, and said, "All the work will be arranged by you. I don't look at the process, only the results. Go ahead, don't bother me if it's okay."

　　 Xia Duo has seen several official wizards like this. Sami spent much more time in the Mage Tower than Xia Duo, and he had become accustomed to it. Xia Duo and the others were asked to walk into the stone house.

"Chateau, come." Sammy mysteriously pulled Chateau, leaving the others aside, and went to a corner of the house. "If you have anything to do, please call them. It's not bad for us to work, and help them at the end of the month. Just ask a question once."

　　 "……"

　　 Xia Duo nodded, expressing that she understood that it is not Xia Duo's exclusive to exchange other resources with questioning opportunities. Other formal apprentices must have developed similar exchanges long ago. The difference lies in the price.

　　 "How many people are there? Do all formal apprentices do this?" Xia Duo asked.

　　 "It's about 30 people, the specific number is not very clear, but I know that as an official apprentice, there are only 3 people including us."

　　 "So few formal apprentices?"

　　 "A lot. The work of a formal apprentice is generally related to magic, and there is no threshold in the Arcane Garden."

　　 Xia Duo nodded thoughtfully. The total number of formal apprentices may be quite large, but it is usually difficult for ordinary apprentices to access formal apprentices, and they will always grasp the opportunity to ask questions.

　　 Just like Dean, when Chateau proposed a deal, let alone how excited he was.

　　 I think Sami should be the bottom of the formal apprenticeship, but Chardonnay is a lower class than Sami, and even Dean said the key magic of becoming a formal apprentice [Restoration] was not touched.

　　 Still need to work hard!

　　……

　　 Chateau discussed with Sami to use the opportunity to ask questions in exchange for other people to help them work, and they would do their own thing, and the three ordinary apprentices on the other side also changed their work clothes and were ready to go to work.

　　 Seeing that Xia Duo and Sami did not change their clothes, there was no surprise at all. They were both "old apprentices" in the mage tower. I must have understood the unspoken rules of the Arcane Garden before coming.

　　 For them, the more formal apprentices, the better, because each additional one means that one more question can be asked at the end of the month, and the more people there are, the easier it is to coordinate what questions to ask, without causing too much disagreement.

　　 In this way, Chateau and Sami began their official "work" on this day.

　　 During the period, Sami took Chardonnay to meet another official apprentice Devine in the Arcane Garden, and after a little conversation, they separated.

　　 Xia Duo found an apple tree full of fruits, took off the mage's robe and placed it on the ground, leaning on the trunk, and began to memorize the color-resistant text.

　　 At this time, Xia Duo actually felt like he was about to take the college entrance examination, but before the college entrance examination, how could he be so self-conscious now!

The Arcane Garden is mainly used for growing food and raising livestock. Unlike other layers, the temperature is constant at the optimum temperature for the human body. The temperature here is quite hot. Even after taking off the mage robe, Chateau still feels a little hot. How did rice solve it.

　　 In addition to heat, there is also light. The light in the Arcane Garden is like the noon sun. Even if you hide in the shade of the apple tree and stare at the words on the parchment for a long time, your eyes will still be stinging and sore.

　　 This was originally a place for work, but it was only used by Xia Duo and others to study. It was not a real place for study.

　　After remembering for a while, Xia Duo felt that his head was swollen and his eyes were dark. It was not tired but sunburnt.

　　Imagine that in the midday of the dog days, even studying under the shade of a tree requires a strong will.

　　As one of the core elements of the wizard's spellcasting, the focus is largely derived from the will, but modern people's life is habituated, and the most lacking is the will.

　　 Xia Duo is improving, but at this moment, his willpower is obviously insufficient. He thought of the official mage he had seen before, isn't he also reading the book seriously?

　　 And it’s not in the shade yet.

　　 As for Sami, Chateau no longer thinks about Sami, he should be concerned about himself.

　　 severely pinched the inner thigh.

　　 "hiss——"

　　 Xia Duo immediately felt a sharp pain spread all over his body, but the spirit was extremely concentrated at this moment, and then with this moment of concentration, he continued to learn color-resistant writing.

　　 He knows that improving concentration with physical pain is an evil way~www.ltnovel.com~ But he also knows that the necessary stimulation is also possible before the mental will can overcome the inertia of the physical body.

　　 Just like that, one morning passed.

　　 When Chateau limped up on the elevator, Sammy and another official apprentice Devine looked at him with a strange look, but they didn't say much.

　　 As for ordinary apprentices, they don't know much. It's almost the same as caring about yourself after a long time. How can I care about other people?

　　……

　　Lunch is eaten in the restaurant on the first floor. Compared with the breakfast and evening meals, lunchtime is obviously a lot more lively. It is rare for apprentices to chat for a while.

　　 And compared to the monotonous breakfast and evening meals, the lunch is relatively rich. In addition to the bread and cheese for the breakfast and evening meals, there is also a small piece of roast meat, lettuce leaves, and a small half glass of wine.

　　Wine needs to bring its own container. The restaurant does not provide a container. Fortunately, the wooden wine glass from Chateau is carried with you.

　　 After lunch, Chateau found Sami and asked:

　　 "There are other apprentices in the Arcane Garden in the morning, can we not go?"

　　 Although you can exercise your concentration and will there, the learning efficiency is not as good as in other places, especially when Xia Duo urgently needs to learn Nether script.

However, Sammy’s answer was negative, “You don’t think that the attendance at the end of the month is only up to the master, right? There is also Taring’s record. Leaving the Arcane Garden during working hours is absenteeism. Take it there, it’s all the same."

　　 may be the same to you, but not necessarily to me. Xia Duo complained in his heart and gave up this plan. In this case, he must use all other time.

After 　　, the two separated.
