Chapter 154: Privilege escalation

On the other side, after Xia Duo returned to the Mage Tower, he immediately went to the task management office, handed over the task, and successfully obtained 400 gold coins.
At this point, the task index: 420/1000, almost completed, but it is a pity that Mrs. Patty arrived at the mage tower, it is estimated that it is unlikely to pay him further tasks.
Of course, Xia Duo actually didn't investigate many things, and he completed a 400 gold coin mission in less than half a day, and he had already made a lot of money.
He has nothing to complain about, and life will continue. If he can complete the task indicators before raising his authority, then he can concentrate on doing what the official mage should do. While complaining about the mission promotion system of the Mage Tower, while continuing to select missions, it feels really uncomfortable to force it!
It's just that it's late today, and the missions won't be updated, and the only missions were basically picked by him. Xia Duo just scanned it, then gave up, and planned to come back the next day.
If you can encounter a task with a high cost performance like today, it would be too second! After having dinner, Xia Duo was about to go to the library to stay for a while, but he unexpectedly received a notice from Taring on the way--
"Apprentice Xia Duo, the privilege escalation process has started, please go to the assessment room as soon as possible to wait for the assessment."
Xia Duo was shocked and finally came! The lord finally appeared!
If he chooses the management authority, or has completed the promotion task indicators for the apprentice authority, then he can already upgrade his authority.
It is precisely because of the failure to complete the target and the need to raise the authority, the lord needs to intervene, so I am stuck here. Under normal circumstances, the apprentice will not encounter this situation after becoming an official mage. And Xia Duo is also looking forward to seeing the lord, will he show his sharp edge by then, or will he be a little bit clumsy?
The first thing is that the last similar case was Adrian, and in the end he became a student of the lord, which made Chateau look forward to.
And if he can also become a student of the lord, then his future is very secure, at least until now, he has not heard of anything wrong with the student of the lord.
Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo went to the public level examination room a lot lighter, and while walking, looking forward to the day of becoming a student of the lord, at the same time, he was distracted to consider the problem of [Steam Ray].
If you want to test it later, it must be this [Steam Ray]. When creating this magic, Xia Duo only considered the problem of breaking through the first layer of magic net, and did not give much consideration to the practicality of magic.
Of course, this is not to say that [Steam Ray] is useless at all, but Xia Duo thinks it can be improved to make it more practical.
He already has some ideas, but this idea may be considered apostasy in the Mage Tower, and Xia Duo is not ready to demonstrate it in front of outsiders for the time being.
...
Today, the on-duty mage in the assessment room is still the last time Depak mage. The last time he lent the magic book to Xia Duo, Xia Duo hadn't finished reading it. Unexpectedly, the two met again within a few days.
"Master De Parker, I just received a notice from Taring that I was asked to come over for the assessment--"
Xia Duo swept around the room without a trace. The room was not big and could not hide people at all. He was a little disappointed that the lord did not come.
He doesn't doubt that the lord has used magic to hide, after all, he is not a special person, what qualifications do he have to let the lord observe invisible!
And then the words of Master De Parker made him more sure of this.
"Xia Duo, the assessment is just a cutscene. Lord Lord has agreed to elevate your authority. The main reason for calling you over is to arrange a mentor for you."
As soon as he heard the "arrangement", Xia Duo understood that he was no longer a student of the lord!
Xia Duo was very mad in his heart. This great opportunity was even missed. He believed that whether it was upgrade speed or understanding of magic, he would surpass Adrian. How could the lord let him go!
But on the surface, you still have to maintain a polite attitude and respectfully say: "Yes!"
De Parker was very satisfied with Chateau's attitude, "You cast the magic you mentioned last time here, is it called [Steam Ray]?"
"Yes, but here?" Xia Duo asked in doubt, but he didn't doubt the strength of the Depak mage in front of him, but is it a bit sloppy to evaluate it like this?
"Yes, right here, hurry up! I will take you to see your mentor in a while!"
With that said, Mage Depak cast a protective magic, which appeared to be a translucent red shield. He also signaled to Chateau, "Come on this!"
Xia Duo nodded, and instantly entered a state of concentration. The shield in his field of vision exuded a bright magical aura. Xia Duo could vaguely distinguish the general spell structure.
But for its specific magic elements, only the most superficial part can be seen.
Although Xia Duo was very curious about the other party's spells, the other party didn't cast the spells for him to study, and certainly not to test Xia Duo's [Steam Ray].
But to avoid the damage of Chardonnay's spells to other places.
Sure enough, after Xia Duo launched the [steam ray], the ray that did not originally point at the center of the shield turned automatically and flew toward the center.
And once it touched the center of the magic shield of Master De Parker, the steam ray was instantly annihilated, not even a trace of it leaked out, which surprised Xia Duo.
This kind of hard "eating" magic does not have the slightest amount of firework, even Xia Duo himself can't do it, he can counter his [Steam Ray], but it is impossible to do it without waves.
After all, the point of countermeasures is to completely reverse the details of the opponent's cast. Even if the same person does this, the details will be different because of the state of the cast.
In essence, any spell is different as long as it is cast by humans. The difference is that some mages can control variables extremely accurately.
Of course, Xia Duo felt that this was the advantage of Depak’s mage who took advantage of the unknown magic. The magic of this special ray ~EbookFREE.me~ was the key to completely eliminate Xia Duo's spell.
Although Xia Duo sighed, surprised, and even was in awe, he was not discouraged at all. He knew that one day, he could do all this, and he would do better than the other party.
After only casting [Steam Ray] once, Chateau stopped and waited for the judgment of Master De Parker.
"Yes, it is indeed a 1st-level spell, and it is an undocumented new spell, and its power is also very impressive."
After speaking, Mage Depak cast a spell to leave a mark on a piece of parchment on the table, and sent it out. Then, Xia Duo heard the familiar Taring tone again—
"Mage Xia Duo, congratulations on your promotion to an apprentice-type official mage authority, current authority: level 1."
Level 1 authority sounds like the lowest level. This is too far from what Xia Duo originally expected to become a student of the lord!
No matter how good his mentality was, he couldn't help it. He subconsciously asked, "How many levels of authority does the Mage Tower have?!"
"Hehe, Xia Duo don't worry, after I take you to meet your tutor, your tutor will upgrade your authority."
It's okay not to say this, Xia Duo feels cold in her heart when she said it, and the channels for enhancing permissions will be in the hands of the instructor, which is too sad!
Is it another kind of contractor?
Then De Parker gave Chateau a Tower of Time badge and said: "This badge allows you to contact Taring outside of the Mage Tower. Keep it!"
Xatsuta numbly accepted the badge. Isn't this in essence the one he got at the award ceremony before? The only difference is that there is no inscription on the back of the badge he got now. "Ugh--"
With a long sigh in my heart, he followed Master De Parker to see the so-called "mentor"!
