After finishing the morning class, Shaoke exercised several times according to the exercise methods he had just learned. This method that would not delay too much time, and could maintain or even strengthen his physique was very happy to accept.

After carrying the required materials to be copied, Shaoke planned to go to the library to copy some first-level magic. When the officer received the letter Shaoke wrote last night that he needed to send, he hesitated and asked: "Dear Master Xueye, the old commander said, if you have time, he wants to talk to you."

Shaoke thought for a while and replied, "Yes! OK," after receiving the new order, he planned to go to the old officer first to check it out, and then copy the spells.

It was still the same room, the same doorkeeper and the same officers who were attending the audience. After receiving the instructions of the old officer, Shaoko sat in a chair with some anxiety waiting for the old officer's questioning. Because he found that the old officer today was much more serious than when he saw him the previous two times.

The old officer observed Shaoke for a while, "Master Xueye, are you planning to leave the military headquarters? Leave here like your two companions before?"

After hearing the old officer's words, Shaoke felt a chill, "Sir, I have no intention of leaving the military headquarters." After saying that, he stared at the old-fashioned face of the old officer without any weakness. He did not expect that the old officer not only knew everything that happened to him yesterday, but also said it openly, which made him feel indescribable.

The old officer nodded, "Master Xueye, it's too early to say anything now. I can't force you mages to go to the battlefield. The time is up in two months. I hope you can accept that position according to those agreements that day." As he said that, the old mage threw a roll of paper, "If you have time, you can see. This is a kind of view of mage cultivation collected in the empire. I hope he can give you some help." As he said that, he waved his hand powerlessly and let him go out.

After leaving the old officer, Shaoke touched the scroll in his pocket and planned to study the things written on the scroll first. Although he had never heard of any such statements as collecting the imperial collections in the empire, he estimated that this was similar to those places in the palaces in his previous life that were specially used to collect precious books and some special materials.

The scroll looks very thick, but there are not many handwritings inside. It is all written in ancient magical words. Fortunately, the writer did not add spiritual traps and magic traps to it, which made Shaoke's interpretation work very smoothly. After roughly looking at what was said on the scroll, Shaoke suddenly became confused and didn't even know what choice to make now.

It turns out that the scroll is all about some common problems encountered by mages below the third level when practicing. Among them, it is mentioned that the meditation method is better to use the general meditation method because although this meditation method is less effective, it can finally make the meditation space slightly stronger to a certain extent, and the chance of success in promotion is much greater than using advanced meditation methods. It also lists more advantages, which makes Shaoke, who just wanted to use advanced meditation methods as soon as possible. After hesitating for a while, he wrote down what happened today on the letter paper and planned to send it to the female mage to ask her what her mother meant.

After all this, Shaoke decided to go to the old mage in the Mist Academy to ask if he had encountered this situation. After all, he still maintained a skeptical attitude towards such things that the old officer sent for no reason.

When the old mage in the door saw Shaoke coming again, he happily invited him to have a glass of wine, "Master Xueye, is there anything wrong? It seems that your face is not very good. Although working harder will be helpful for your promotion, I think it is best if you have to sleep once every night, even if there is only one magic time, which is very helpful to you now. Don't completely believe in the mind that meditation has recovered." As he said that, he poured Shaoke a glass of wine again.

Shaoke nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I have something to ask you for advice today." As he said that, he told me about the fact that he had just obtained the scroll from the old officer, and finally waited quietly for the old master's answer.

The old mage frowned and said, "Master Xueye, I also got this scroll, but it was only when I left the imperial capital. That kid was still a role playing the door opening, alas!" The old mage stretched out his dry hand and touched his gray head and pondered for a while: "All mages who can go to the battlefield will get such a scroll. At that time, many mages used advanced meditation methods. Only some mages who did not get advanced meditation methods continued to use the previous meditation methods. After trying to use advanced meditation methods for a period of time, I gave up the method that could speed up the practice and switched to the general meditation methods."

"Why? Is this advanced method really like what is said above?" Shaoke couldn't wait to raise his own question.

"No, I don't know the real effect. I didn't have time to ask other promoted mages at the beginning." The old mage smiled and shook his head. "The mental and magic power generated by advanced meditation methods is much more difficult to control. If you fight on the battlefield, it is easy to fail to cast spells due to haste or emotional instability. If it weren't for the advanced meditation method that delayed for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have delayed nearly two years to be promoted." As he said that, he lowered his head and drank a sip of wine. "But you can temper those mental and magic powers through the magic array formed in the meditation space. Although it would waste a lot of time, the hidden danger would be lower. If there were enough medicines, you can use advanced meditation methods."

Shao Ke thanked the old master for his comments. After asking a few questions, he thanked the other party with satisfaction and said goodbye and left. Then he stopped a carriage and headed towards the library belonging to the military headquarters.

He still couldn't make a choice now, and finally decided to wait until the female mage replied to the reply before making the final decision. After all, the old mage said that there was not enough auxiliary medicinal materials on the front line for mages to buy in huge demands, and the price there was more than twice the price than the normal price. Considering his money reserves, Shaoke was a little inclined to the opinions of the old mage, but he planned to go back and experiment with advanced meditation methods for a while to see what the situation was.

After paying thirty universal gold coins in the library, Shaoke copied enough spells, which was based on his identity to reduce the fees by half and the charges after he brought the transcription materials.

After leaving the library, the sky became a little dark, and white snowflakes floated in the sky again. The merchants had already put away the stalls and hurried back to their residences. Only those who owned the store still sent their friends to stand at the door waiting for the arrival of customers.

After rejecting the invitation from the coachman, Shaoke slowly walked towards the manor on the street. Although the distance was still very far, this was not a problem for Shaoke, who had time to observe the imperial capital for the first time. He was afraid that he would never have time to observe some of the situation in the imperial capital in the future.

The lanterns on the roadside slowly lit up under the operation of the magic crystal stone, and the dim lights provided some help to the pedestrians who were still rushing to the road.

Suddenly, a four-wheeled carriage with a two-horse driving came from the front. The sound of horse hooves came quickly. Shaoke looked at the wide road and walked back to the edge. He didn't want the mud and snow brought by the carriage to splash on him, even if the cloak had a magic effect of cleaning stains.

After the carriage exceeded Shaoke for a distance, it slowly stopped. Under the driver's speed, it quickly turned a corner and retreated, and slowly stopped in front of Shaoke.

Shaoke tightened the magic circle with some vigilance, stopped, and planned to go over there. He didn't know why the carriage was because he felt the waves of magic fluctuations coming from inside. Although it was very weak, at this distance, he could still feel the fluctuations after being alert.

After the magic fluctuations disappeared, a young mage in a gray robe came down from the carriage. His body was covered by first-level protective spells. "Haha! Isn't this the mage who guarded the door? Why have you been hiding for so many days? Why don't you go back in the carriage?"

Shaoke frowned and immediately opened the magic circle on the cloak. A faint white mist quickly wrapped him in it. "What's the matter?" Shaoke quickly recognized the mage as the mage who was laughing at the door. Although he knew that the old officer had rejected the appointment made by the other party, he didn't know if the other party would fight him fairly outside as he told the officer.

The mage looked at Shaoke and said, "Don't be so nervous. Since the old officer rejected my appointment, I have no interest in fighting you. After all, you are a newly promoted rookie." As he said that, he waved the staff inlaid with high-quality red stone jade in his hand, and hesitated and said, "I think you should come with me to meet a nobleman! He will pay you enough money for you to ride a carriage, enjoy those female mages, buy expensive medicines and some magic props, and even provide you with advanced meditation methods. Look! This staff is much better than yours."
