Zhao Xu didn't know what Antinoya's face looked like under the hood.
But her next actions made Zhao Xu understand that she should still be very pleased.
"Very good, you made this choice. But I also hope you won't regret it in the future."
"Compared to those mages who are doing research comfortably in the floating city, as a battle mage you may encounter various dangers of life and death."
Hearing Antinoya's words, Zhao Xu smiled indifferently.
In those days when he was pursuing revenge, there was no day when he wasn't licking blood from his sword and tempering himself.
"If I weren't sure that you couldn't significantly change your face and age, I would have thought you were a middle-aged man."
Zhao Xu's smile became a little bitter.
"Okay, then you can read this book and switch your language first. You should still have a language quota."
A heavy book flew directly from the bookshelf into Zhao Xu's hands.
He knew that this was the hand of the zero-level arcane mage used by Antinoya.
The only strange thing is that Antinoya did not make any spell-casting movements during the whole process.
It’s as if the books are flying automatically as soon as the words are spoken.
Zhao Xu weighed the book and gently stroked the title "Secret Book of Dragon Language" on the cover.
He raised his head and glanced at his mentor in confusion.
"I'm going to learn the language now? I don't have to read those books on magic principles anymore?"
Antinoya sat casually on the soft chair in the room. This was the first time she sat down in the past three days.
"Originally, you will automatically recognize some content in the future. When I let you see it at the beginning, it was just to temper your temperament."
Zhao Xu didn't expect Antinoya meant this and looked at him curiously.
"Magic, what a mysterious power. If you rush to cast spells as soon as you come up and don't respect magic, you are just a craftsman using magic, and there is no difference between it and those turrets erected on the city wall."
"Even when you're doing research, the lack of that sense of awe can only lead to disaster."
When Antinoya said these words, her tone was slightly lonely.
"Actually, by the time you return to the dormitory the next day, you should have noticed through your Earth adventurers that the mage training you received is somewhat different from that of those players."
"Basically, we will identify every mage. Some of them will have the same experience as you. You started reading these ancient books. You are the chosen ones."
"The difference is that those who take the initiative to study the classics make their own choices. And you are forced by me. The advantage is that you will definitely be on the right track and receive real teachings. The disadvantage is that when will this stage end? It’s up to me.”
Zhao Xu didn't expect that in two or three sentences, Antinoya actually gave him top-notch information.
He said why it was so difficult for mages in previous lives to learn advanced skills and powerful specialties.
It turns out that there is such an extra hurdle. Learn the principles and concepts first, and the Association will naturally make arrangements for you.
But first touch those spell models to learn how to cast spells, and then you have to take your time.
When you prove your xinxing, that's when you start to come into contact with the colorful society of mages.
It's just this, no one has ever mentioned it on the forum before.
At best, some senior mages among players advise novices to read more of the magic books inside.
But Zhao Xu is still a little hard to understand.
"Wouldn't this screening method be too arbitrary?"
"I just praised you for your maturity. There are so many organizational forces in this society, and the Mage Association can only arrange a few initial specialties and possible advancements for you players. When you reach level 5, it will naturally depend on your own opportunities. , those who are really misjudged will crawl out on their own strength."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath. It was difficult for the mage in his previous life to be in the early stages, and these associations probably had to bear some responsibility.
Like him, he has one human talent trait, two flaw traits, and one level 1 character trait. These are all four.
4 powerful specialties and 4 junk specialties are completely different.
Zhao Xu could only say that because of his time travel, he had always had a natural sense of awe for Arthur, which more or less allowed him to pass Antinoya's initial test.
At this time, Zhao Xu's attention returned to the book given to him by Antinoya.
"Many ancient classics are written in dragon language, so a mage's professional requirements include dragon language. After you read it once, you can start trying to convert this language." Antinoya said.
Zhao Xu knew that this transformation was actually activating their dragon language translation function.
Each person is born with the common tongue and the language of their race, plus a number of additional languages equal to their Intelligence modifier.
He has an Intelligence modifier of +3, for which he has mastery of exactly 3 additional languages.
He lacked the opportunity before, so naturally he couldn't activate and master the dragon language.
Now that I think about it, the secret book in my hand is the key to stimulating dragon language that players call it, allowing them to easily transform into a dragon language.
I just didn't expect that what they had was dragon bones, dragon skin, dragon blood, etc., and that I was actually a regular book.
After a while, after Zhao Xu finished browsing, he found that his personal dashboard had also been updated.

At this time, Zhao Xu knew for the first time that he was actually a secret messenger, and he was probably at the bottom of the organization.
However, Antinoya did not relax at all. The books on the bookshelf flew over and were stacked on his desk one by one.
"You just need to read the first book "Fundamentals of Spell Models" and the second book "Spells and Gestures - On the Components of Spellcasting", and then read the last "Zero Level Magic Book" at the bottom."
"After reading these three books, I will come back to you to determine the choice of the first specialty."
Hearing these words, Zhao Xu almost burst into tears. He finally took the first step and started learning to cast spells.
Immediately, Zhao Xu began to calm down and entered a learning state.
Like every novice mage in Arthur, he memorized spell models with various configurations if he couldn't understand them.
It’s just that those magic theories that I saw before were investment but no output.
These books all indicate that his spell casting progress bar is increasing by 1% and 1%, so Zhao Xu's enthusiasm is completely different.
And Antinoya listened to the sound of him turning the book, as if she could read his mind. She knew exactly what he was looking at and what doubts he would have in his heart, and she gradually explained the content to him.
As for other mage academies on the mainland at this time, countless apprentices were copying the models while reciting them. Only by reciting them completely silently could they be qualified to enter the next stage of listening.
According to those instructors, if you can't memorize a few simple books, what qualifications do you have to be a mage.
