Chapter 39: Communication, Tactics Lesson
This price is neither high nor low, the price of a learning scroll for a 0-ring spell is about 25 gold coins, but the problem is that Sammy can't find a way to buy it, plus the orcs are attacking, this spell must be mastered as soon as possible, and the price of 15 gold coins is quite appropriate.
Sure enough, Sammy agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Dvarn looked at Sammy with some envy, feeling that he had just spoken too quickly, and that he would rather give gold than give notes.
It was agreed that they would go to Shado to transcribe the magic in the evening, and the three of them dispersed again.
……
Soon, the morning passed in a sluggish, dreary atmosphere, and Shado hurriedly packed his things and hurried to the restaurant, and on the way Sammy and Devine reminded them of their agreement again.
After lunch, Xia Duo did not linger in the hall, because the "Magic Net Stratification Theory" he was now taking was taught by a formal mage, not in the hall on the first floor, but in the private study room of the official mage on the sixth floor.
When Shador arrived at the small parlor of Master Chaveira's private research room, seven or eight apprentices had already arrived, and they were all whispering about the attack of the orcs, all with a hint of panic and uneasiness on their faces.
Xia Duo sat directly next to Donald, they had always taken the same course during this time, and Xia Duo was also familiar with them, but now he was the only one in the Donald Five.
As soon as he sat down, he heard Donald's whisper, "Shado, have you heard the news that the orc tide is coming?" What are your plans? ”
"I knew about it last night, and I got another news in the morning, saying that the orc tide is probably at the end of this month." Xia Duo said.
"What?!"
In addition to Donald's shrill voice, there were several apprentices in front of him who turned around and let out screams of shock, it was clear that they had not known the news before.
A full-fledged apprentice named Edil hurriedly asked, "Xia Duo, is your news accurate?" ”
How Xia Duo answered, it was all hearsay, who knows if it was accurate, "I'm not sure, but it is said that the followers of the lord personally inquired about the news, I think it is better to prepare early." ”
In an instant, several official apprentices panicked, and even ordinary apprentices who had nothing to do with the expedition were very worried, after all, their families were all in the Savile territory!
Now they can't get out, they don't even have a chance to be informed, and these people are quite nervous.
An apprentice close to Xia Duo looked at him expectantly, "Xia Duo, can you please come out of the tower and bring a message to my family." ”
"And me!"
"Ardier, can you do me a favor?"
There was chaos in the small living room, ordinary apprentices couldn't leave the Mage Tower for three years, and now they could only hope for Xia Duo and their official apprentices.
But it's a pity that Xia Duo can't agree to this kind of request, he has experience on Earth, and a major crisis like the orc tide may be blocking news outside.
If you really go out and talk nonsense, it is much more serious than spreading rumors on the earth.
However, the others didn't think like Shado, and even Donald promised that as long as the news arrived, he could let his father, who was the steward of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, provide a batch of living materials at a low price for the families of these ordinary apprentices to take refuge.
It's so naïve.
As more and more people came to the class, everyone gathered around the only four formal apprentices, wanting them to help deliver the letter, only Xia Duo did not enter, and did not promise anyone.
Soon, the family information of all the ordinary apprentices was registered, and only then did everyone take out their notes and start reviewing the content before the "Magic Net Stratification Theory" class.
There was silence in the small living room, but Xia Duo could feel that today's silence was very different from the silence of the past, and there was always a sense of impetuousness lingering in it.
After a while, Mage Chavela arrived—teleported through a white light, and the way he appeared today was different from the previous ones, which seemed to indicate something.
"Ladies and gentlemen, starting today, all afternoon classes will be cancelled at a time to be determined. Okay, the official apprentices stay, and the others leave. ”
After speaking, he didn't say a word, and after all the ordinary apprentices left, Master Chavira continued: "You should all know about the orc tide, don't leave the mage tower at will during this time, otherwise-"
"Why, Master Mage? Didn't the people outside know that the orc tide was coming? One of the apprentices couldn't help but ask.
"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask." Mage Chavira glanced coldly at the apprentice and continued, "In the next few days, there will be a tactics class in the Library's spell labs 12 to 20, so don't go if you want to die. Now, all out! ”
"Yes."
Xia Duo and the other three regular apprentices left Chavila's private research room with heavy faces, and as soon as they walked out, they were surrounded by a group of ordinary apprentices, and Donald in the crowd kept glancing at Xia Duo.
However, without Xia Duo opening his mouth, Adil said what Mage Chavira had just meant - forbidding the apprentice to leave the Mage Tower, and it was no longer feasible to send a letter to the outside.
"What?!"
"How so?!"
There were already people in the crowd who wailed in pain, it was okay to live in the town, as long as they didn't leave the protection range of the mage tower at will, it was still relatively safe, but those who lived in the small villages outside the town were in danger.
Most of the apprentices present were only 17 or 8 years old, and they could be regarded as having experienced the orc tide ten years ago, but at that time, they were young and immature, and they only knew that orcs were terrifying.
In these ten years, he has been imperceptibly influenced by the people around him for another ten years, and it can be said that he is quite afraid of orcs.
Although Xia Duo has no relatives here, this scene of crying still makes him feel a little, taking advantage of the crowd, quietly left, before leaving, he saw Donald sitting on the ground with his head in despair and crying.
Sure enough, it's still a child!
……
First went to the material application office to exchange the [Communication] learning scroll, Xia Duo came to the library floor, the spell laboratory No. 12 to 20 mentioned by Master Chavela, now the door is closed, and nothing can be seen from the outside.
However, Xia Duo noticed that the doors of these nine spell laboratories were not locked, so he randomly chose No. 12 and pushed it open with a light push.
As soon as the door opened, a rough voice came from inside—
"Remember the formation, keep up with the team, old mages, if you fall behind, no one will go back to save you, if you are caught by the orcs, those beasts will slowly tear your limbs apart and put them on the bonfire for barbecue, believe me, compared to that, the current training is simply a bath in a hot spring."
The first person to break into Xia Duo's vision was a two-meter-tall man twice as strong as him, wearing a set of standard chain mail, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and a team of topless apprentices were practicing.
With his tall body and the weight of his weapons and equipment, the big man made a muffled sound with every step he took, and Xia Duo even felt a vibration coming from the ground.
"Apprentice Xia Duo! The robes were taken off and entered the ranks. ”
Shado did so, taking off his shirt where the other apprentices had put their clothes, but instead of being naked, he wore a thin linen shirt.
