Chapter 26: Ask questions, receive notes

Xia Duo knows that the formal apprentices have the opportunity to ask questions, but everyone can only ask questions once a day. Generally, the number of formal masters in the class is not too large, and the questions will not occupy too much teaching time, but if you don’t add it With restrictions, one person can ask for a day.
Chateau quickly said what Dean wanted to know. Gardner was silent for a moment, and said: "The apprentice you mentioned should be lacking in mathematical foundations. To solve this problem, you only need arcane magic. Some basic knowledge in geometry, you ask him to go to the library to borrow the book "The Principles of Geometry in the 0-ring Spell", and it must be able to solve his problem."
　　 Chateau wrote down Gardner’s instructions, and other apprentices also silently wrote down the book. Although they did not have the right to ask questions, they still had no problem listening.
　　 After answering Chateau’s question, Gardner’s task of teaching today is also over. His magic enlightenment class will last a week. It is not a good job to give a new apprentice an enlightenment class, and a formal mage is usually reluctant to do it.
　　Because the enlightenment class has the lowest rating in the mage tower, the pay is naturally the lowest, but the pay for the official mage is like a chicken rib, but it is not a small amount for the apprentice.
　　Ghanal also became the instructor of this year's new apprentice after some competition.
　　……
After 　　 was disbanded, Xia Duo went directly to the restaurant next to him and took two pieces of bread before returning to the dormitory floor. He was about to "turn off the lights" in more than three hours. He needed to hurry up and go to Dean to continue to organize the Nishite dictionary.
　　 And even if the half of "Sacred Proverbs of the Radiant Lord" is finished, there are still more new words and words waiting for him, but then he needs to go to the library to borrow books.
　　 02163 dormitory, Dean has returned, and he doesn't want to delve into it any more today, but sits outside the dormitory door, looking at the notes absently while eating bread, waiting for Chateau to arrive.
Thinking that Chateau might bring him the key to the final level of the official apprenticeship, Dean felt a little impetuous. It has been two years since he joined the Mage Tower. If he could not become an official apprentice within the third year, his family would Will not support him anymore.
　　 If it weren’t for luck to get in touch with a formal apprentice who hasn’t started enlightenment yet, and he can exchange a low price for the opportunity to ask questions, Dean might be desperate.
　　 The vast majority of the entire mage tower are ordinary apprentices like him. Everyone asks the master of the idea, but the opportunities are very limited. After meeting the needs of the formal apprentices, how many can be divided?
　　 Even if there is, Dean can't afford it.
　　 When Chateau came near the 02163 dormitory, he saw Dean sitting at the door in a daze. Even when he approached, Dean didn’t notice.
　　 "Dean, why don't you go in?"
"Xia Duo!" Dean was overjoyed when he heard the accent-resistant lingua franca, "Xia Duo, you are back! I will help you transcribe the first half of "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance" this afternoon. ."
　　 Xia Duo was dumbfounded, "Did you not go to class?"
"I'm out of touch." Dean's tone was a little bleak, "Master Mage never does not matter whether we understand it or not, and there is no formal apprentice, so there is no questioning session. The course I am taking has been repeated for the third time. It's round, and one or two days will not have much impact."
　　 Xia Duo is silent, the treatment of this ordinary apprentice is really sad.
　　 The Mage Tower allows them to listen to classes and borrow books, but they are not allowed to ask questions. This is simply forcing them to teach themselves to become geniuses. In fact, the official apprentices in the Mage Tower come here.
　　 Except Chateau.
　　 "I asked you that question for you today, but I was taking an enlightenment class, not a formal master class."
　　 "It's okay, it's okay!" Dean's eyes were shining, and he looked at Xia Duo expectantly. He didn't care about the apprentice or mage, as long as he could answer him, even if it was a beggar, he wouldn't mind.
　　 Xia Duo repeated Gardner's answer again, focusing on the book "Geometric Principles in the 0-ring Spell".
　　 After listening to Chateau’s narration and the evaluation of the official apprentice, Dean was a little lost. The book had been in his hands several times, but because it was not a direct spellcasting technique, he put it back.
　　 I want to come now, I really regret it.
　　 "Xata, wait a minute!"
Dean rushed into the room and took a notebook out, "Hey, I have copied the first half of the "Sacred Proverbs of the Radiant Lord" that I scraped off earlier. This notebook is for you. You should sort out the contents Words, tomorrow I will explain to you the specific pronunciation and meaning."
　　 He couldn't wait to rush to the library, but thinking that reading might not solve his problem, Dean simply gave this notebook to Chateau.
　　 Xia Duo looked at the note that Dean had stuffed into his hand. It was the one he copied yesterday, but the first half of the content had been scraped off by Dean and he copied the "Proverbs" again.
　　 Such a standard notebook, if it is brand new, it will sell 15 gold coins at the material application office.
　　 If magical knowledge is recorded in it, it can be regarded as a spell book, and the price increases almost geometrically~EbookFREE.me~ It depends on the value of the knowledge in it.
　　 However, even if the paper inside has been scraped and written many times and filled with "Proverbs" which is not of much value, this notebook is worth a few gold coins at least.
　　 The cost of knowledge is actually reflected in the cost of paper. At present, Chateau has not seen real paper-paper made from cheap materials is all animal skin paper, usually lamb skin.
Of course, there are calfskin, monitor lizard skins and other skins suitable for making paper, and even dragon skins, but the price is unimaginable. Chadeau has come to Savile for half a year and has not heard of the slaughter of the colorists. The story of the dragon, I only heard that there is a dragon skin magic book in the fairy country, which is said to record magic that can destroy the world.
　　 The path of the wizard requires not only talent, but also money.
Some seemingly inconspicuous but indispensable basic consumables are all valuable, such as ink 10 gold coins a bottle, 100 pages of blank notes 15 gold coins, the cost of borrowing a library is usually the book itself One percent (at least 1 gold coin).
　　 If only relying on the salary of 1 silver coin a day in the Mage Tower, how can it be sustained? I must find a way to make money, whether it is from the family behind me or other apprentices.
　　 Dean sent this note, even though it was full of words, Xia Duo was very happy, because a man with only 6 pieces of parchment could not afford to hurt it.
　　 After finishing all the text in it, he will scrape it off as his first note, so that he doesn't need to buy parchment alone, which is not cost-effective, and can save money to buy original blank notes in the future.
　　 But so happy, Xia Duo also forgot his original plan. When he returned to his dormitory, he remembered that he was planning to renegotiate the transaction with Dean.
