Chapter 175: Jose Mage

In the afternoon, Chateau first passed a subpoena with Edridge and the others to inquire about the apprenticeship competition. The result was very gratifying. Edridge asked someone to ask about it. The Mage Tower did not prohibit it, and certainly did not encourage it.
The prerequisite for everything is that they cannot violate the relevant regulations of the Mage Tower and cannot delay their own duties-apprentices are essentially servants and are required to work.
And Edridge and the others have already consulted among the apprentices to see what form of competition is organized. The apprenticeship will definitely be different from the upcoming formal arcane competition in the territory.
With a few words of encouragement, Xia Duo went to the materials application office. ...
Public floor, No. 6 material application office.
Perhaps because of the willingness of the Master Tower to start classes, the material application office in the afternoon was particularly deserted, but for Master Jose, it was particularly enjoyable. Although in normal times, most jobs are also taken over by apprentices, and he will not be disturbed often, but it is still not comparable to when there is no one.
When there is no one, even the apprentice on duty will be careful not to make a sound, so that he can think quietly for a while.
If he is in a good mood, he might give the apprentice a chance to ask questions. For this reason, even if he can't get much oil and water from working in the material application office, someone still sharpens his head and squeezes in.
But not every material application office has a formal mage on duty, and not every mage on duty will speak to him so well.
After a glance, he saw that the apprentice was arranging the counter lightly and carefully counting. Master Jose nodded in satisfaction, ready to allow him to ask a question during the break. At this moment, there was a soft sound from the door. Mage Jose frowned, looked at it, and then stretched out again. It turned out that he was an official mage and knew he was here to live.
"Mage Jose, would you like to have a look at this scroll?" Xia Duo took out a [Steam Ray] scroll and handed it over.
"Huh?" Mage Jose was shocked, but quickly took over the scroll, first checked it from the outside, and then unfolded it.
It took a long time to look away from the scroll, looked at Xia Duo, and asked: "You are—"
Although Xia Duo recognized this Master Jose, the other party obviously did not remember him, "Master Jose, just call me Xia Duo."
"Mage Xia Duo, if we read it right, this should be a brand new spell?"
"Yes!"
"This is rare. There have been no new spells in the Mage Tower for a while!" Mage Jose seemed to be emotional. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, "Chateau, Chateau, you are Mage Leonard brought back. That apprentice?"
"Yes, it's me."
"How do you—" Mage Jose had already remembered that Xia Duo had exchanged many 0-ring learning scrolls here, and it also involved the lord's student Leonard, which had a very profound influence on him at that time.
Only afterwards, for so long, the two hadn't communicated with each other, Master Jose had forgotten it a long time ago. He just heard this name, and it reminded him.
"Congratulations, becoming a member of the official mage." Jose said in a sigh. People like Xia Duo are really rare, saying that it is impossible not to envy.
"What are you going to do with this scroll?"
"Ask about the price, if it's appropriate, maybe a batch will be sold regularly." Xia Duo said calmly.
"You made this magic scroll?" Jose was very surprised, unable to maintain a calm expression on his face. "I mean, this is a rare piece of art."
"Thank you for the compliment, at what price can this scroll be sold?"
The boutique is not the boutique, and Xia Duo didn't care about it. He would also say that he really cares about the price and whether it is worth his long-term production.
Jose checked the scroll, and although it was an encrypted normal version, he was able to infer some information, such as an offensive spell.
However, the actual effect of the use can 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 too much hope. There are too many options for the 1-ring magic scroll. Even if the effect is special, I estimate that it will not exceed 30 gold coins."
Xia Duo was very surprised. He thought he would be squeezed. After all, the cost of the 1st reel, Mage Tower couldn't be more clear. It was 30 gold coins that actually exceeded Xia Duo's expectations.
"Mage Jose despite testing, but I recommend using living creatures to test. This spell I call [Steam Ray], which has a miraculous effect on living creatures."
"Don't worry, Mage Tower has a special testing process for this type of magic." Mage Jose suggested, "Want to come and see it?"
"Is this all right?"
"Of course, I think you may use it in the future." Mage Jose gave a positive answer.
Xia Duo suddenly became interested. He didn't know that there was such a place in the Mage Tower. After all, it was because his time in the Mage Tower was too short.
After explaining a few words to the apprentice on duty, Master Jose took Xia Duo into the elevator next to the No. 6 Material Claiming Office~EbookFREE.me~ The place we are going to is on the basement level of the Master Tower. Specialized blasting room, room, sealing room, dungeon, you will often deal with there in the future. "
With that, Master Jose ordered Taring to send them to the basement floor.
...
On the way, Master Jose asked Xia Duo for two other regular 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 product's functional test.
For example, in 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 guessed it based on someone on the earth being scalded by high-temperature steam.
Scalding is not an instant fatal injury, but it can make a person lose the ability to resist quickly, so this spell is called "non-fatal rapid disabling spell" by Xia Duo.
But for the scroll, 3 copies are almost the same. After all, the person who uses the scroll can only simply guide the spell to be issued. Even when the non-caster uses it, they can’t even do the basic guidance. They can only be preset according to the scroll maker. The instructions are released.
Therefore, non-spellcasters are generally less willing to use offensive spells. A careless, the enemy did not hit, but killed himself, this is funny.
When Mage Jose told him about this, Chateau immediately realized that he had chosen the wrong spell.
[Steam Ray] It may be a novelty that can become a hit in a short time, but in the long run, it is far not as good as the auxiliary magic scroll. Too late to be upset, the elevator had stopped at the basement level of the Wizard Tower.
"Arrived."
