"So powerful? Was it a level 7 mage from the beginning? Duran was a little surprised, generally speaking, even if a person with no foundation in spells has better qualifications, he should start from level 1. And having three rune spell slots from the beginning also made Duran more at ease with the decision to let Ironhide become a rune mage.

Unlike ordinary wizards who consume mana to release spells, rune mages who want to cast spells must first copy the runes they have mastered into their own exclusive spellcasting rune book. Each rune mage has a different rune spell slot, and each rune spell slot can be filled with a rune. For example, Ironhide now has three rune spell slots, so before the battle, he must choose three of the four runes he has mastered to copy into his rune spell book, and fill them according to the principle of one rune corresponding to one rune spell bit. In this way, he can use the rune spell book in his hand to directly unlock the restriction of the spell position and mobilize the rune power inside when he is fighting. Once the rune is cast, the spell slot in the spell book in his hand will be blank, waiting to be filled next time.

It can be said that rune mages have their own advantages compared to other mages. The existence of spell slots allows rune mages to cast spells, especially in the early stages, which can be cliché and lack variety, after all, it is impossible to cast rune spells that are not copied. However, compared to ordinary wizards, rune mages do not need to consume too much energy when casting spells, and they are faster in casting spells.

Ironskin's successful transition to a rune mage was a great event, but Duran was a little troubled. Rune mages cast spells very quickly, often with a surprising effect in battle, and according to Duran's original plan, he planned to place the iron sheet in the valley to guard the members of the lord's guard, so that he could not participate in the battle with Andrew.

However, after thinking about it, Iron Hide had just been promoted, and the power of the spell was difficult to guess, so it was better for him to practice secretly for a while.

So he carefully inquired about the four rune spells that Iron Hide mastered, and the latter naturally knew everything.

These four spells are all Zero Ring Spells that can be mastered by apprentices, such as [Healing Minor Injuries], [Owl Friend], [Light Technique], and [Secondary Isaac Throwing Knife]. Except for the secondary Isaac Throwing Knife that is a bit lethal, the rest are auxiliary caste spells. As the name suggests, the Illumination is a common spell for adventurers, with the benefit of saving money on torches and candles in the dark, and the Owl Friend can designate any wild, healthy owl as their pet. With proper training, this owl can not only provide its owner with reconnaissance, search, and messenger services, but also share its vision with its owner, which is quite practical.

"Very well, for the next while, you will be in this valley, and you will take good care of these people." Duran instructed Ironhide, "Don't let them escape—if anyone wants to escape, kill them." But if they don't resist, then don't hurt them, I'll keep these people useful. ”

Ironhide nodded honestly.

The two quickly returned to the campfire, and Duran asked Erica, "Miss Erica, the purpose of your trip has been achieved, when are you going to go back?" ”

Erega blushed, but it was rare that she didn't stutter: "Actually, I'm ...... It's been a long time since I sneaked out, and I should have gone back a long time ago. ”

Duran nodded, he wasn't prepared to pull Eregar to his side, after all, although this would add a boost, it might cause the White Tower wizards behind her to resent it.

"Then before you leave, I want you to help me unleash the last spell." Duran said.

Erega nodded and said cheerfully, "No problem." ”

"A sleep technique, the longer it lasts, the better." Duran pointed to the men of the Lord Guard.

Eregar thought for a moment, "If I use the enhancement spell, I can probably make these people sleep for two whole days." ”

"That's enough." Duran thanked, "You should also know that we have to do a big vote next." ”

Erijia said with regret: "It's a pity that our White Tower wizards have already made a rule that we can't confront the Dragonman Empire head-on, otherwise this time you assassinate the Dragonman Lord, I will definitely help." ”

Duran smiled slightly: "Not this time, I believe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

Erega blinked, not knowing why.

……

Late at night, Duran opened his eyes punctually.

He didn't feel sleepy at all after sleeping for three hours, and since awakening his bloodline talent, Duran's nerves seemed to have become extremely tenacious. Not only is insomnia a thing far away from him, but he seems to be able to easily control his sleep time and wake up with incredible accuracy.

After waking everyone up, Eregar quickly used an enhanced sleep technique on the Lord's Guard, and the weak-willed creatures immediately fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep technique can help Ironhide keep these guys in a better position, even if it's only for the first two days.

The group took advantage of the night and walked northwest in the direction of their memory. They soon came to the edge of the White River, and the sound of the rushing water continued, and Duran and the others walked along the shore for a while, and finally found a small boat tied to the dock.

There were two humble houses beside the dock, and the owners of the houses were asleep, unaware that their property was being targeted.

Duran quietly placed a silver dill on the windowsill of the hut, and motioned for the group to board the boat. Simodo uncovered the cable with great skill, and it has to be said that almost all of the mercenary man's usual practical skills are at the full level, even rowing. If you had changed to a tin sheet or a duran to row, I am afraid that the small boat would keep spinning in the middle of the river.

An hour later, Duran arrived on the north bank of the White River, just as dawn broke. The peasants on the north bank were obviously not as industrious as the people from the south bank, and the group walked in the ridges in plain clothes, and did not see a single figure for a long time.

After walking for about half an hour further north, a series of buildings began to become denser, and simple tree stumps were cut down in rows, and the houses inside were fairly neatly surrounded. These stumps are about sixteen feet tall and basically function as city walls.

"White Sands has arrived." Duran looked at the protruding tree stump and the crescent moon flag fluttering on the tree stump from afar, and said with some emotion.

"It's time to share your plans." Kate reminded that she knew that Duran did not go directly to Bergen Manor, but came to White Sands, and that he must have thought about it.

Duran shook his head and smiled, "Let's say goodbye to our friends first." ”

"I really don't want to leave, but I really don't have any reason to stay on the mainland. ”

With that, she said goodbye to the others, and then took out a delicate whistle and blew it gently.

A minute later, in the direction of the distant Helga Mountains, a huge white eagle rode the wind and landed respectfully beside Erega Eriga.

The sorceress looked delighted, stroked the white eagle's feathers, and smiled at the crowd, "I knew it could only hear me near White Sands, goodbye, my friends." ”

Eregar sat on the back of the white eagle, which flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
