The stars and moon disappeared, the morning sun rose, the light of the Lord of Light sprinkled across the land, and the peaceful town of Savile was once again full of life, but a news that had recently circulated privately in the realm cast a heavy shadow over this vitality.

The orcs are coming?!

Memories of the orc tide ten years ago suddenly appeared in the minds of the lords, and when they heard the news of the orc tide again, many people who had experienced that disaster even trembled their hands and feet when they heard the words "orc tide".

If they could, no one would want to go through it again.

Some people sneak out of town to report to their families in villages outside the town, but of course they don't dare to make a big deal about it, just to find some excuse to bring their family to the town.

As long as they are within the protection of the Mage Tower, the orcs will never be able to harm them.

Others aspire to make a name for themselves and become great figures in their territory, and they begin to prepare from this time on, always waiting for the call of the lord.

Although they did not have a well-made outfit, the belief in their hearts alone was enough for them to practice for half a day with a one-handed sword that had been eliminated by the army.

Those who know the information are either afraid or afraid of the message, but they all choose to keep it.

And those who don't know, as usual, are still drifting in the river of fate.

……

Tower of Time.

Xia Duo got up early in the morning, and as usual, he read in the faint light to improve his grasp of the color-resistant characters, and only when the light in the room became brighter did he go to the dining room to get breakfast.

After arriving at the Arcane Garden, Xia Duo chose physical training, and when the orcs attacked, it was inevitable that these apprentices would be drafted into the army.

The shortcomings of physical fitness have been exposed, and Xia Duo naturally can't let it go.

Therefore, under the puzzled eyes of the other apprentices, he calmly began to run, push-ups, and sit-ups in the Arcane Garden.

After resting, Sammy found him, "Shado, are you exercising?" Does this work? ”

Xia Duo naturally wouldn't explain to him that there was a science on the earth called sports science before the crossing, although Xia Duo hadn't studied it, but he had taken a lot of physical education classes, and although it was a little late to exercise now, it was not fast to grind the gun.

Even if it's just a little bit of speed, stamina, and a little more chance of survival, it's worth the effort now.

However, after this period of time, Xia Duo and Sami got along quite well, and Xia Duo was still willing to answer, "Sammy, if your team is scattered by the orcs now, can you escape?" ”

"Of course you can't escape." Sammy said almost without thinking, "Orcs can run much faster than humans!" ”

"yes, so do you think orcs will chase the fastest man?"

"This—" Sammy hadn't studied orcs, and was a little stunned for a moment.

"The Beast Book in the library says that orcs are irascible and generally only attack the most comfortable targets, but in any case, running fast and running for a long time is always an advantage."

After learning the news of the imminent arrival of the orc tide, Xia Duo immediately went to the library to find some information, not to say that it was completely accurate, but at least there was some reference.

As he said earlier, people who encounter orcs and run faster and longer than others have a better chance of surviving.

The soldiers assigned by the Mage Tower to give tactical lessons to their apprentices were not necessarily slower than them, even if they were wearing chainmail helmets and holding full weapons and equipment.

In case of losing the battle, they, the mage apprentices, are definitely the easiest ones to hang.

Physical training is something that must not be relaxed.

Of course, training should also be moderate, otherwise wouldn't it be more tragic if you get injured in practice?

……

Sammy was easily convinced, and then Devahn joined in and trained with Shado, and these mage apprentices were certainly not fools to be sent to the mage tower by their families.

After seeing that the three regular apprentices all started running around the Arcane Garden and doing some strange movements, the ordinary apprentices were also a little nervous.

However, before they could actually act, the Arcane Garden's steward mage informed them that the Arcane Garden was about to launch a temporary production increase plan, and all apprentices must follow Taling's instructions.

After that, nearly 100 more apprentices came to the Arcane Garden, and Xia Duo and the others had to stop their physical training and follow the instructions with the other apprentices.

This was the largest number of apprentices Xia Duo had seen at the same time, except at lunchtime, and there were not so many apprentices gathered together in normal times.

"Apprentice Xia Duo, responsible for harvesting wheat fields in East 8 District." Soon, Taling's hollow, mechanical voice rang in Xia Duo's ears.

In addition to this instruction, Xia Duo didn't hear other people's instructions, glanced at the others, and they all had their own tasks, Xia Duo didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the wheat field in East 8 District.

……

In a space that is inaccessible to ordinary people in the Mage Tower, the entire Arcane Garden, along with all the apprentices inside, is represented in a very complex structure of dots and lines.

Suddenly, some of these dots and lines suddenly light up and shine brightly, but then they scatter into other dots and lines.

This makes the whole structure much brighter than before.

And this scene was manifested in front of Xia Duo, it was the clusters of wheat that began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, even if he had seen the miracle of a single ripening before, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment.

This is much more powerful than spraying crops on the earth, Xia Duo couldn't figure it out, whether this was time magic or some kind of ripening magic, it was really amazing.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but think about it more, and there was a hollow and mechanical urging voice from Ta Ling, "Apprentice Xia Duo, please complete the harvesting task as soon as possible." ”

Xia Duo rolled up his sleeves and began to harvest, and an apprentice at the other end of the wheat field in the East Eighth District also began to harvest, and at the same time, the person responsible for bundling and transporting also came.

They pulled the rudimentary wooden carts and followed the reapers, and at each handful they harvested, they picked up a handful, bundled them into a ball, and put them on the carts.

The area that Xia Duo is responsible for is not large, but the harvesting is a little unskilled, and the scythe provided by the mage tower is very different from the scythe on the earth.

Not to mention that it does not conform to the usage habits, the key is not sharp, which makes Xia Duo, who is not very proficient in the first place, even more uncomfortable.

At the end of the trip, Taling instructed him to transport the wheat with a wooden cart to the mill, where the freshly harvested wheat had to be dried, threshed, ground and sorted before the final flour could be stored.

The mill is located next to a small river that runs through the Arcane Garden, and the gentle flow of the river drives a simple transmission machine, which makes the mill turn on its own, without the need for additional manpower or animal power.

As soon as Shado arrived, the apprentices of the mill helped unload the wheat bales and left with the wooden carts.

In this way, Xia Duo went back and forth between the mill and the wheat fields of the East Eighth District all morning, and the magic of the crazy growth of wheat was seen again and again, and it was not strange to see a lot.

Finally getting to noon, Xia Duo felt that he had no strength to walk on the way to the restaurant, and he didn't know whether the mage tower's crazy increase in production was for food, or for the sake of training these apprentices.

It's just that I'm in it, and there's nothing I can do.
