297 Field I
The next day, the Magister Council declared the Arcane Ring in a state of war, activating the wartime law, all teachers and students who stayed in the school must accept a militarized management method, and all internal stores began to produce combat equipment in full force, and the most priority equipment produced was a talisman against the Void Tide, which must reach the point of at least one person.
The apprentices of the Arcane Ring immediately felt the tension on their faces, and all three grades of students stopped teaching normally, and thousands of teachers and students were temporarily redeployed and assigned to the field support department, where they were dispatched by field personnel.
As the instructor had previously warned, first-year apprentices were to operate within a twenty-kilometer radius of the Arcane Ring, while second- and third-year apprentices were to go beyond twenty kilometers to search, kill, and rescue them.
At the same time, the Arcane Ring Sect sent out a large number of tasks, and the rewards were generous, looking back to the past few decades, even the most informative low-level apprentices felt the determination and attitude of the academy to break the boat.
200 points for a devil's head, 30 points for the heart of an abyssal demon, 20 points for the cornea of the Gaussian Eye, 20 points for a pair of gnolls' ears, 5 points for the soul fragment of an undead creature......
Many people smelled the strong smell of points, which undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into the morale of the teachers and students participating in the battle.
A piece of legendary equipment requires hundreds of thousands of points, and at the rate of obtaining points before, it is impossible to get one in a few decades, and now you may be able to think about it.
He only needs to kill 500 devils, or 5,000 gnolls, and some people are silently calculating in their hearts, without considering whether there are so many monsters for him to kill, and whether they can easily kill a devil alone.
The instructor gathered all the apprentices that day, including a total of 17 students who had just been promoted from the first to the second grade, and temporarily assigned two teachers to form a team of 20 people.
The instructor's assistant opened a package and handed out a special badge to each of them, the "Storm Charm" created by the Arcane Ring overnight, to ensure that the apprentice could withstand the harsh natural environment outside the arcane ring.
The instructor spread out a magic map, pointed to a piece of land marked as light red on the map, and said: "Considering that you are apprentices who have just entered the school, so when dividing the identification area, the academy has given some care, this area is more than 20 kilometers away from the academy in a straight line, but only one portal was found in this area, our ultimate goal is to kill all the devils in this area, if you can destroy the portal, it is a good thing, and you should take credit."
And today, our first goal is to investigate the situation in the small town of Sangkin, do you see this little depression? right here to see if there are any alive in the town, and if so, to rescue them.
I am the commander-in-chief of this rescue mission, my name is Mike, a non-commissioned officer chief of the academy's field team, you can call me by my name, or call me sir, whatever you want.
Teacher Petty is the clerk of the battlefield, responsible for recording everyone's contributions, ensuring fairness and justice, everyone please feel free to show their talents, we will never disappoint your efforts, understand?"
As he spoke, Mike motioned to a female teacher beside him with a pair of heavy, black-rimmed eyes.
Everyone responded.
Mike said solemnly: "In addition, I also want to tell you that this is a war to drive out evil, I don't care who you have had unpleasant things with before, now put it down for me, we must work together and accumulate all our strength to give the enemy a fatal blow!"
So, no matter what situation we encounter along the way, as long as our own people are in crisis, we must find a way to rescue, unless he is in a desperate situation and there is nothing you can do.
The academy's rewards for rescue operations are also very generous, not only to earn a lot of points, but also to get a favor, maybe you can also ice off the suspicions, multiple friends are better than multiple opponents. ”
Everyone also expressed their understanding that there was indeed competition between the apprentices, some of them were quite fierce, and some of them did have some dirty, but except for a very few hidden psychopaths, the unhappiness between most people did not rise to the level of "I want you to die".
Seeing that everyone was gearing up, Mike asked, "Do you have any questions?" Any question is fine, and it is better to say it before the real battle begins, so as not to regret it later." ”
Charlie raised his arm.
"Charlie, what do you think?" Mike had read the students' profiles and had some impressions of the apprentices in the team, and a student like Charlie, who led the first-year individual credit list, was certainly impressed.
What's more, Charlie has recently made a splash at the Magical Ideas Contest and has also earned the status of a royal magic seal carver, so much so that Charlie has reached the point of household name in the Arcane Ring.
"I want to go it alone, I've looked at the rules of the academy that allow going it alone. ”
As soon as Charlie's words fell, the green eyes' eyes flashed with doubt, and Charlie handed her a reassuring look.
The departure of the strongest apprentice in the team made Mike feel somewhat disgraced, and the prestige of leading the team was challenged to a certain extent.
Mike's face sank and he said, "Give me a convincing reason." ”
Charlie said sincerely: "I am good at stealth, acting alone, with small targets, so that I can go deeper, maybe I can detect some more valuable information? ”
Mike took a deep breath and said, "That's enough, but you have to be mentally prepared that you're not in the ranks, the battlefield clerk can't measure your contributions, and if you can't bring back some loot every day, you won't get battle points."
You also know that now is the time of battle, the academy implements militarized management, if you don't have combat points for three consecutive days, you will be deducted by the academy as a 'runaway', and the escapee will be forcibly taken into the danger zone to carry out activities, at least get enough 100 points to take off the hat of the escapee, in that case, the probability of death is much higher than now, you better be mentally prepared!"
Charlie nodded and said, "I understand!
Mike said helplessly, "Okay!"
So, under the astonished gaze of everyone, Charlie opened the storm badge, walked out of the sky, and slowly disappeared into the cold wind.
At the moment when Charlie walked out of the sky, a hint of impulsive color flashed in Qingtong's eyes, and she wanted to go out, but found that she still couldn't keep up with Charlie's footsteps, and forcibly followed, which was a burden.
Yes, she and Charlie had a draw in the ring, but with what she knew about Charlie, she would not have had a chance to cast a spell at all if the battlefield was placed in the wild.
"Qing Hitomi, I've finally found you!" a magnetic voice interrupted Qing Hitomi's reverie.
The pale cyan eyes followed the voice, it was the prince of Weining in a formal suit, his whole body was shining with jewels, his hands, neck and lower body exuded powerful magic fluctuations, this body was quite luxurious, far exceeding the net worth of many teachers.
As he spoke, Wei Ning turned to Mike and said, "Teacher, I'm Ms. Angelina's apprentice, can I have a casual chat with Qingtong? ”
I don't know if it was because he was shocked by his equipment, or if he gave face to the Frost Venerable, Mike nodded silently.
Qingtong said calmly: "Is there anything to find me?"
Let's go!
Wei Ning opened a jewelry box with one hand, and there was a shining and crystal clear ring embedded under the velvet in the box, not to mention the shape, the moment the box was opened, a strong freezing air was emitted, which instantly made the moisture in the air form fine ice crystals, forming a faint white mist.
Wei Ning said in his gentlest voice, "Qing Tong, maybe the next test we have to face is the greatest test in this life, even a thousand times more terrible than the disaster in Twilight Town.
You and I are both students of Teacher Angelina, so of course we need to be closer, and I hope we can get through this together.
In order to reduce the risk, in order to avoid making the teacher sad, I will give you this ring, which contains the cold essence of ten thousand years in this star diamond, which can increase the power of the frost spell, for a mage of our level, it can improve the level of at least two stages, which is the most suitable for you. ”
Oh!
There are girls on the side who make envious voices, the star diamond itself is worth a lot of money, and the cold marrow of ten thousand years is even more difficult to meet, taking out such a valuable thing, which not only shows his strength, but also expresses his heart, and it is even more rare that the giver is still a handsome man, it is really difficult to refuse such a gift.
Qingtong shook her head, smiled back, and said, "No, thank you." ”
The refusal was reasonable in Wei Ning's reasoning, but the refusal was so crisp and did not explain the reason, so that Wei Ning couldn't say anything after thinking for a long time.
After being stunned for a long time, Wei Ning muttered: "Qingtong, you should know that this is an invasion of foreign races......"
Mike on the side suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Classmate, please pay attention to your words! Don't spread some unreliable news at will!!"
Mike's eyes flashed fiercely, and he glared at Wei Ning.
Wei Ning raised his hands and said again and again, "Qingtong, let me lend it to you!" I really have good intentions, and I don't have any thoughts of asking for anything in return, please rest assured. ”
"I don't need it, thank you for your kindness, I understand. ”
Wei Ning restrained his smile, glanced at her silently, closed the jewelry box very simply, and turned to leave.
"Okay, let's go too!" the instructor gave an order, drawing everyone's attention back, and he said solemnly: "Out of the sky, it is the real battlefield, everyone must be mentally prepared!"
As a result, a group of 19 people lit up their respective storm badges, stepped out of the canopy, and broke into the world that was raging with the Void Tide.
Looking out from the top platform of the tallest magic tower, one team after another could be seen emerging from the exit of the arcane ring, stepping into the vast tide and scattering in all directions......
