"Hurry up, you lazy bastard. The path of knowledge and truth won't stop for you!"
Hearing the shouting of the rag doll head hanging on the door handle, Taylor opened his tired eyes, with a droopy face, sat up from the bed, began to tidy himself up, put on his clothes, and pushed the door open to go out.
As a traveling soul, Taylor had a lot on his mind and couldn't calm down for a long time. He sat there until midnight before he could barely empty his mind and began to try to meditate.
After much difficulty, he finally felt the existence of his spiritual space, but he couldn't open it. This made Taylor anxious and he scratched his head, and he didn't sleep well for the second half of the night.
This resulted in him looking exhausted and sleepy when he woke up this morning.
"Thinking too much is not a good thing."
After rubbing his face vigorously, Taylor finally regained some energy and quickly left the dormitory specially arranged for apprentices.
Taylor came to the door of the apprentice library, where a notice was posted. Written on the paper were all the tasks assigned to these new chores and apprentices. They would get one point for each day completed.
Taylor squeezed through the crowd and came to the notice, looking at the personnel arrangements row by row.
Taylor: Apprentice dormitory west corridor cleaning
Cleaning the aisle...
Taylor pondered for a moment. He was quite familiar with the west corridor of the apprentice dormitory. After all, that corridor led directly to the dock, and they came here through that corridor.
Now that he knew the place, Taylor turned and walked towards the apprentice dormitory. He still had to do his work, so that he could return to the dormitory early to meditate and study after finishing it.
After getting the necessary cleaning tools and two rags from the utility department, Taylor carried a small bucket, a broom, a mop and two rags in his arms and went to the corridor west of the dormitory.
When he arrived at the corridor on the west side of the dormitory, Taylor put down the small bucket and other cleaning tools in his arms, took the small bucket to the side and filled it with water, and then soaked the mop in it.
Then he picked up the broom and started sweeping the dust and dirt on the corridor. The area he wanted to clean was the wide avenue in the middle of the west side of the dormitory and the sidewalks on both sides.
The nearby wizard tower, the wizard apprentice's storage room, the wizard apprentice's library, etc., are all enchanted by powerful wizard cleaning spells so that they will never be covered with dust and do not need to be cleaned.
While Taylor was cleaning, some nearby railings, street lights, and the walkways on the east and south sides were also cleaned by other errand apprentices. He saw those errand apprentices with bitter faces more than once, and sometimes they even muttered to themselves as if they were complaining about something.
Although he was somewhat reluctant to do the work, Taylor knew that this was also an equal exchange according to the wizarding rules. They gained meditation methods, spell models and knowledge, so naturally they had to pay for their own labor.
These menial apprentices are very young and their attention is easily distracted. The apprentice in charge of guiding them said that the wizard found that the new apprentices did not spend much time effectively studying when they were meditating seriously, and a lot of the time was ineffective time when their attention was distracted.
Since that time has been wasted and forced learning will have a counterproductive effect, just work. Clear a place to work, divide your time well and combine work and rest, which means changing your mind. This way, you will have more effective time to learn knowledge.
What's more, you get one point a day.
When Taylor was tired of cleaning, he took out a clean rag and spread it on the steps, then sat down and thought about meditation while resting.
“Meow meow meow~~~~”
On the street lamp not far from Taylor, a six-eyed owl with six eyes and a cat-like lower body was quietly watching everything around him.
Its six eyes each look in one direction, storing everything it sees in its mind. Anyone who violates the wizarding rules and disrupts the quiet order of the White Tower Alliance will be discovered by them.
The six-eyed owl is also a third-level apprentice-level life form created by the white wizards of the White Tower Alliance. Although its strength cannot be said to be too strong, it is definitely enough to deal with a large group of apprentices.
Any apprentice who has been in the White Tower Alliance for a period of time is unwilling to come into contact with these stitched beast-like creatures. Maybe a formal wizard can deal with them with just one spell, but for apprentices like them, these guys are more terrifying than demons.
Dusk The sun slowly set in the west, and Taylor finished his work for the day. The west corridor was not only long but also frighteningly wide. He cleaned up all the dust inside. After cleaning, he sat on the steps and waited silently for a while. Sure enough, a six-eyed owl appeared on the street lamp behind him. After the six eyes looked at Taylor's work, they nodded and flew away.
Looking at the six-eyed owl flying away, Taylor couldn't help but think:
It seems that this is the inspector mentioned on the notice board. I really don’t know how such a complex life was created.
No matter what he thought, Taylor would not waste his precious time on meaningless things.
As he hurried back to his dormitory, he repeatedly pondered over some tips and key points in meditation in his mind, trying to open up his spiritual space as quickly as possible and quickly construct his own witchcraft model.
There were also many new apprentices who came to do menial tasks around him, but unlike the others, they were chatting and laughing, and even complaining in low voices about the tasks assigned to them by the wizards, saying that they were just hard labor and not suitable for them to do.
In fact, Taylor's progress is already the fastest among the new apprentices of the same level. Although other apprentices also try to meditate, they are too young and cannot control their thoughts well. They are more prone to wild thoughts than Taylor. At least Taylor can control his thoughts, but most of those children cannot.
Over the next few days, Taylor's life consisted of cleaning the west aisle during the day and studying meditation and trying to open up his spiritual space at night.
Finally, on the fourth day, Taylor successfully opened up his spiritual space.
When opening the spiritual space, Taylor only felt that his head suddenly felt like it was going to explode, but he also felt a kind of restraining force, and there was a space like a frame, and inside the space with a flowing force, it was an invisible existence that could be controlled by mind but felt very vague.
He now felt that a space had opened up in his head, in which was his mental power floating freely. He had to mobilize his mental power and fill it with the secondary fireball witchcraft model in the form of a phantom that had already appeared in the mental space.
But now, in the very middle of his spiritual space, there was a small blue and white dot floating, and when his spiritual power touched this small dot, a piece of information was fed back to Taylor.
