Arcane Lord

In the afternoon, Sha Duo first went through a subpoena with Edrich and the others to inquire about the situation of the apprentice competition. The result was very gratifying. Edrich asked someone to ask, and the Mage Tower did not prohibit it, and of course it did not encourage it.

The premise of everything is that you cannot violate the relevant regulations of the Mage Tower and cannot delay your own tasks - apprentices are essentially servants and have to work.

And Edrich and the others have already solicited opinions among the apprentices to see what form of competition they will organize. The apprentice competition will definitely be different from the official arcane competition that the territory will soon hold.

Xia Duo gave a few words of encouragement and then went to the material application office.

…

Public floor, Material Request Office No. 6.

Perhaps because the classes at the Master Tower had already begun, the material application area was particularly deserted in the afternoon, but this was a very enjoyable experience for Master Jose.

Although in normal times, apprentices would take over most of the work and wouldn't disturb him often, it still couldn't be compared to when no one was around.

When no one is around, even the apprentice on duty will be careful not to make any noise, allowing him to think quietly for a while.

If he was in a good mood, he might give the apprentice a chance to ask questions. For this reason, even if he couldn't make much money working in the material requisition office, there were still people who had sharpened their heads and squeezed in.

But not every material requisition office has an official mage on duty, and not every mage on duty will be so kind to him.

After a quick glance, he saw that the apprentice was tidying up the counter and counting carefully. Master Jose nodded with satisfaction, ready to allow him to ask a question during the break.

At this moment, there was a whisper from the door. Master Jose frowned, looked over, and then relaxed again. It turned out to be an official mage, and he knew that he was coming.

"Master Jose, would you like to take a look at this scroll?" Sha Duo took out a [Steam Ray] scroll and handed it over.

"Huh?" Master Jose was stunned for a moment, but he quickly took the scroll, first inspected it from the outside, and then took a closer look.

After a long time, he took his eyes away from the scroll, looked at Xia Duo, and asked: "Are you——"

Although Xia Duo recognized Master Jose, the other party obviously did not remember him. "Master Jose, just call me Xia Duo."

"Master Xia Duo, if we read correctly, this should be a brand new spell?"

"Yes!"

"This is rare. There hasn't been a new spell in the Mage Tower for a while!" Mage Jose seemed to be sighing. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, "Xia Duo, Xia Duo, you were brought back by Mage Leonard. That apprentice?”

"Yes, it's me."

"How did you -" Master Jose had already remembered that Xia Duo exchanged many 0-level learning scrolls here, and it also involved the lord's student Leonard, which had a profound impact on him at that time.

It was only later that the two of them had not interacted with each other for such a long time, and Master Jose had long forgotten about it. It was hearing this name just now that made him recall it.

"Congratulations, you have become an official mage." Jose's tone was a bit sad. People like Xia Duo are indeed rare. It is impossible not to envy him.

"What are you going to do with this scroll?"

"Ask about the price. If it's suitable, I might sell a batch regularly." Xia Duo said calmly.

"Did you make this magic scroll?" Jose was very surprised and could no longer maintain a calm expression on his face. "I mean, this is really a rare masterpiece."

"Thank you for the compliment. How much can this scroll be sold for?"

Xia Duo didn't care whether it was a high-quality product or not. He would also say it in a scene. What he really cared about was the price and whether it was worth his long-term production.

Jose checked the scroll. Although it was an encrypted ordinary version, he could also deduce some information, such as that it was an offensive spell.

However, the specific use effect will only be known after actual testing. After all, it is not a common popular reel, so Jose did not directly quote.

"I need to actually test it once, but you don't have to have high hopes. There are too many 1-ring magic scrolls to choose from. Even if it has special effects, I estimate it will not exceed 30 gold coins."

Xia Duo was greatly surprised. He thought the price would be lowered. After all, Mage Tower knew very well the cost of a 1-ring scroll. The price of 30 gold coins was actually beyond Xia Duo's expectations.

"Master Jose can test it, but I recommend using living creatures to test it. I call this spell [Steam Ray], which has miraculous effects on living creatures."

"Don't worry, the Mage Tower has a special testing process for this type of spell." Master Jose suggested, "Want to come and take a look?"

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, I think you may need it in the future." Master Jose gave an affirmative answer.

Sha Duo immediately became interested. He didn't know that there was such a place in the Mage Tower. In the final analysis, his time in the Mage Tower was too short.

After a few words with the apprentice on duty, Master Jose took Xia Duo into the elevator next to the No. 6 material application office.

"The place we are going to is on the underground floor of the Mage Tower. There are special blasting rooms, bondage rooms, sealing rooms, and dungeons there. You will often deal with them there in the future."

With that said, Master Jose ordered Talling to send them to the underground level.

…

On the way, Master Jose asked Xia Duo for two more ordinary version scrolls.

Generally speaking, the emergence of a new spell must go through multiple and repeated tests. This test is not a feasibility experiment before and after the spell is completed, but is similar to a functional test of the product.

For example, for Xia Duo's [Steam Ray], he only completed a feasibility experiment to prove that this spell can really emit steam rays.

He has not actually tested it with living organisms. As for the effect, he speculated based on the fact that someone on earth was burned by high-temperature steam.

Burns are not an instant fatal injury, but they can quickly make people lose their ability to resist. That's why this spell was jokingly called a "non-fatal rapid incapacitation spell" by Chateau.

However, for scrolls, 3 copies are almost enough. After all, the person using the scroll can only simply guide the spells. Even when used by non-spellcasters, they cannot even perform basic guidance and can only follow the preset settings of the scroll maker. The command is released.

For this reason, non-spellcasters are generally reluctant to use offensive spells. By accident, the enemy did not hit him, but he was killed. This was funny.

When Master Jose told him this, Shado immediately realized that he had chosen the wrong spell.

[Steam Ray] may become a hit in a short period of time due to its novelty, but in the long run, it will not sell as well as the auxiliary magic scroll.

There was no time to worry, the elevator had already stopped at the underground level of the Mage Tower.

"arrive."
