Chapter 178: Shortcomings, invited guests

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 deliberately showed a wave of arcane geometry results, but in a short time he was unable to transform the structure and elements of the spell he saw for the first time into a flat figure.
Therefore, he can only record this spell through some conventional symbols, as well as language and writing, just like Gardner.
For now, there is no need for such spells to be recorded in ciphertext, or in other words, Xia Duo, who is unwilling to use earth scripts, has not yet begun to study the ciphertext exclusively for him. ...
Time passed little by little, and soon the two of them recorded the [Magic Missile], and then studied, understood, and memorized them separately.
But until noon, Niya did not move at all. Xia Duo tentatively asked, "Tutor, Tutor Niya!" "..."
There was no reaction. This shouldn't be a normal reaction of a mid-level mage. Chateau realized that Niya might have left, and discussed with Gardner:
"It's noon, shall we leave first or wait for Teacher Niya to return?"
Maybe it was his words that triggered something. Before Gardner would react, there was a slightly stiff but clearly audible voice from Niya
"Practice by myself after I go back, and tomorrow morning I will see you can successfully cast the spell!" The voice ended, and Niya's figure disappeared little by little.
Seeing this scene, Chateau and Gardner looked at each other. In the end, Chateau said, "Let's leave first!"
"it is good!"
...
As the rules of the arcane competition have been determined, in order to cope with the competition, Chardonnay's plan has also undergone great changes.
The first is that all scroll production has stopped. Making scrolls is equivalent to casting spells. He will use the limited spellcasting opportunities every day to train spell duels.
The second is that personal time has become less. I have to go to Niya in the morning, and in the afternoon I have to practice by myself and study the plane transformation of the spell structure.
Sometimes, Gardner still wants him to practice, which makes Xia Duo feel the unprecedented urgency of time. Of course, the greater urgency comes from her mentor Niya, because she is not satisfied with the performance of Chateau and Gardner.
Although Chateau's speed of improvement was very fast, his spellcasting skills were almost absolute shortcomings due to his short exposure to magic.
Even if he started learning Magic Missiles at the same time as Gardner, there is a clear gap between him and Gardner in terms of casting proficiency.
It's just that this gap can be filled with skills, but skills also require proficiency, not to mention skills that can't be compared to Gardner.
This gap is like a novice carpenter, and a man 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 just this level of skill is not enough to make up for experience.
In a spell duel exercise, Chateau had just countered the magic missile launched by Gardner, and was stopped by Niya. From her expressionless expression, it could be seen that the tutor was very dissatisfied and the tutor was very angry.
"Xia Duo, you don't need to practice confrontation. I know you are very talented and have a deep understanding of the nature of spells, but why do you have to wait until the magic missile is almost face-to-face to counter successfully, do you know?"
Xia Duo was silent, he knew, because he knew that he could not speak. Even with 0th-level spells, he couldn't make all of them instantaneous, not to mention the newly learned 1st-level spells!
Casting training is the same as physical training. Both require recovery. It is impossible to practice continuously all the time. The time for contact with magic and becoming a mage is too short, which is the biggest shortcoming of Chateau.
Without this arcane competition, then Xia Duo could still practice slowly and finally make up for it, but with this relatively "catch up" arcane competition, Xia Duo's shortcomings were completely exposed.
Before, Xia Duo's plan was still too optimistic. He always thought that as long as he stayed in the Mage Tower to perform spell training, he could be placed in a secondary position, but now reality has given him a stick.
Fortunately, this is only an arcane competition, there is no danger, but if it is a sudden battle sign like last year's orc tide, it would be bad.
Perhaps he is strong enough to deal with most situations, but as long as one misses, it is too late to regret.
Now Xia Duo is already practising intensively, but she still can't satisfy Teacher Niya.
At this moment, the duel training was stopped, and Xia Duo had to hide in the exchange to practice. As for Gardner, Niya replaced Xia Duo to train him.
...
Just when Xia Duo and Ganal were intensively training, the core area of ​​the empire, Iolum territory, was inside a white tower.
Lord Epps, led by Savile, has stayed here for several days, but he has never seen his grandfather's fellow-Great Arcanist Brod.
Of course, Iolum, the teacher of his grandfather, the Great Arcanist of Saville, didn't even want to see him. Since he came here, he has been hanging in the guest room by Broad's butler.
Neither say yes nor say no, asking the butler to get the answer is always-the host is conducting an important experiment, please be patient.
Never rude, but never do anything. Lord Epps has prepared the celebration time for less than half a month, and the arcane competition is just after the celebration.
It is necessary to invite enough important guests and contestants~EbookFREE.me~ Otherwise, the Savile collar may really become a laughing stock.
Lord Epps guessed that the princess might have arrangements, but he would not bet the reputation of the Saville family on the princess, he himself must strive for it as much as possible.
In the guest room, Lord Epps paced back and forth. Just now, Abbock sent him a message and asked him to return to the territory as soon as possible. It is always bad to be a Lord not to appear for a long time.
"Ugh--"
Epps sighed, his expression extremely disappointed, he might not see the Great Arcanist of Broad again this time, and he was going to retreat to the next best thing, looking for Broad's students to support the scene.
"Taling, is Archmage Gavani free now?"
Taring responded immediately, "You have not been authorized, please ask the butler of Mage Tower, Miller."
As soon as he heard of Butler Miller, Epps squeezed his fist subconsciously. He really didn't want to face that seemingly polite but extremely cold zombie face.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Miller butler is also a high-level mage, facing him, Epps does not have the slightest psychological advantage.
But thinking of the "unauthorized" that Taring answered just now, even the essence of Taring Epps knew in his heart that butler Miller couldn't get around this level.
With a long sigh again, Epps reluctantly placed his hand on the calling device in the room.
For a moment, a figure appeared in the room, it was the smiling Miller butler, "Lord Saville, what's your order?"
Epps suffocated a smile and asked, "Is the Archmage Gavani free now?"
"The whereabouts of the archmage has not been authorized, and I can't answer." While refusing, the butler Miller still looked at Eps with a smile. "Lord Savile, any other questions?"
"..."
