Chapter 257

In this kind of poor and boring life, Xia Dong had to try some of his magic every day as entertainment.

But in fact, he doesn't use much magic, although after the last evolution, his total magic value has reached fifty-three points, but the daily mana recovery is only six points, because he is in the small world and must try to maintain his magic to deal with possible dangers, so he controls the release of mana and the recovery of the same level every day, and after a few days, he can barely try a few new skills.

Zhuomji's instant summoning, Xia Dong has already obtained the magic, but it has never been used, it turns out that this spell will create a green gem after use, no matter who smashes this gem, Xia Dong can be summoned in an instant, although Xia Dong did not expect when this trick would come in handy, the magic cost of this magic is seven points.

The arrow of bones, this spell was a little depressed when it was tried, because such a fortress couldn't find a bow and arrow, let alone a crossbow, Fu Xueqin went to learn more about it, it turned out that the only long-range attack method of these Roman soldiers was to throw javelins, which really made Xia Dong speechless.

In the end, he could only find a javelin to test it, and the released spell carved a complex sigil at the tip of the javelin, but unexpectedly, this magic actually attached some special force to it, when the javelin stabbed the cow used in the experiment, the force that appeared out of thin air actually blew the cow's body everywhere, and it felt like a grenade, but the so-called instant death effect in the magic description could not be observed at all, after all, the cow was blown up on the spot, and it was already too dead to die!

This slightly ferocious spell costs six mana.

The last magic is also particularly interesting, incarnated as a statue, after using it, his body was actually turned into stone, the material is probably similar to marble, and he doesn't need to breathe or eat in the statue state, but his sense of hearing, smell, sight and even some of the touches still exist, and he can think normally.

What's more, the duration of this spell is very long, seven points of magic consumption, but it can last for about three days, and the duration of the spell can also be changed between the body and the statue at any time by his mind, and even partially switched, such as the internal body of the surface statue, the internal statue of the surface body, the half of the body and the half of the statue, of course, this is a little scary!

But overall, this spell is the one that Xia Dong is most satisfied with, at least he thinks that this spell is still very useful to avoid the unpalatable food in the fortress.

There was also a ruby reversal ray, and he really didn't know how to try it, after all, this magic reversed the effects of other magic, so he had to wait until he had the opportunity to talk about it later.

In addition to letting Xia Dong better understand his abilities in the past few days, there is also a small additional gain, the soldiers in the fortress are in awe of them from the bottom of their hearts, after all, witnessing a living statue living in the fortress, this kind of impact is still very big!

At night, in the council chamber of the fortress, several lieutenants sat at a long table, chatting over dinner.

Marcus walked into the room, washed his hands in the basin next to him, and then sat down at the table, "I heard that the food supply hasn't arrived yet?" Send a patrol to check it out."

"There's no need to rush, it's normal to be a day late, sir."

Hearing his subordinates' explanation, he stopped his movements and turned his head to stare at the other party, "This is not normal for me, send out a patrol!" ”

Several people at the table also stopped eating, and one of the gray-haired adjutant shook his head slightly, "Sir, believe me, it's too dangerous to do that!" We received a tip that there were druids in nearby villages, and it was ...... to send out patrols now. ”

Looking around at everyone, Marcus's eyes were resolute, "People, you always have to eat!" Especially the archmages of them. Hearing this, everyone was silent, Xia Dong has eaten very little in the past few days, and even Xia Dong later turned into a statue to avoid these foods, even if they are sluggish, they can understand that Your Excellency is very dissatisfied with this, if the food supplies cannot arrive on time, I am afraid that in a few days, even the existing food will not be able to provide the other party.

Now they don't say anything, but what if you wait for your Excellency to return to Rome? As long as this being said a word, none of these people present could withstand the consequences.

The next day.

"Patrol formation, straight ahead, let's go!" A loud command came from outside.

Xia Dong approached the window and watched a team of twenty people line up in two columns and leave the fortress with neat steps, he turned his head and asked Fu Xueqin, "Are they going on patrol?" ”

Looking at the team in the distance, Fu Xueqin nodded, "It should be." ”

In the middle of the night, Marcus, who was lying in bed, woke up suddenly, for some reason, he always had an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't say the specific reason.

Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, he couldn't help but get up, get dressed and hurried to the wooden wall of the fortress, looking at the quiet environment outside, he asked the soldier standing guard next to him uncertainly, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Sir? What the? The soldier was visibly dazed.

Although there was nothing unusual in front of him, the uneasiness in Marcus's heart became more and more intense.

"I hope the patrol is safe." His lieutenant Lutorius also walked up to the wooden wall, looked at the quiet night, and expressed his worries, although he didn't know what Marcus was calling him up, but looking at the outside environment, he couldn't help but worry about his colleagues at first, they should have returned to the fortress by this time!

Marcus shook his head, "I don't know why I'm trying to wake you up. ”

"Did you hear anything, sir?" Lutoris looked curiously at the young commander beside him.

"Bison, maybe. That, over there, did you hear that? Marcus ignored his question, and suddenly turned his head to stare in a certain direction in the darkness, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything clearly, "Damn the darkness!" Get everyone ready for battle! ”

Hearing the command, Lottoreston paused, "If it were just a bison, the brothers would not have thanked you!" ”

"It's better to be angry than dead, and don't forget, Your Excellency the Archmage is also in the fortress! Get ready to fight, but stay quiet. ”

Seeing that his boss insisted, Lutorius had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "Yes, sir! ”

An undercurrent swelled throughout the fortress, and the sleeping soldiers were woken up in a low voice, ready for battle in their armor, and asked to remain silent.

In a short time, the soldiers inside the fortress were all assembled, and they silently lined up in a phalanx, standing in the open space behind the main gate of the fortress, waiting silently.

For a long time, there was silence around them, and there was no sign of any enemy, and several of the lieutenants began to exchange teasing glances in private, apparently mocking Marcus's fuss.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal for such a long time, Marcus himself certainly felt that something was wrong, he knew that his prestige would probably fall sharply this time, but since he had already done it, it was useless to regret it, and finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around to disband the soldiers.

"Yikes!"

With a strange scream, a famous tomahawk-wielding barbarian suddenly jumped out of the darkness, and he actually jumped directly onto the wooden wall and slashed at Marcus, who was facing away from him.

When he heard the sound, Marcus felt that something was wrong, he quickly turned around, but saw that the barbarian was rushing towards him, at this distance, he had no time to draw his sword, he could only rush forward, hold the handle of the opponent's axe with his hand, and not let the other party swing, but he didn't expect the other party to be very experienced, and he kicked him to the ground with a kick when he raised his leg.

Seeing that the other party was about to catch up and continue to cut him, fortunately, at this time, a Roman soldier on the side had already drawn his short sword and stabbed him in half while the other party's attention was all on him.

Taking a breath of relief, Marcus got up, and he looked ahead of the fortress, only to see that countless figures were coming!
