The death of a mere sheep naturally didn't attract any attention from Master Alberke, and as soon as he came over, he discovered the source of the negative energy radiation-

The remains of the black-robed undead.

"Apprentice, you go out first!"

"Yes."

Xia Duo immediately withdrew from the private house, and the negative energy lingering in the room made him feel very uncomfortable, this is the instinct of life, even a mage is not immune.

Outside, instead of running around, Xia Duo stopped in a relatively unaffected position, waiting for Master Alberke.

However, he was not idle, but looked in all directions while reviewing the spells he had learned.

There are not many houses in this village, only about a dozen of them, but every house seems to be uninhabited, and it is not known whether they have been killed by the undead or have gone into hiding.

Xia Duo guessed irresponsibly.

After a while, Master Alberk came out, his expression a little solemn, and Xia Duo didn't dare to ask anything, just followed him and checked one by one in the village.

Xia Duo didn't find anything himself, but Master Alberk seemed to have discovered something, but he didn't say it, and Xia Duo didn't know.

Finally, Master Alberk stopped in front of the altar of the Lord of Light in the center of the village, "Alright, let's go back." ”

Still casting the spell as when they came, a white light flashed, and the two returned to the previous room, not only the Horst mage was still there, but the other seven mages who appeared when they received the badge were also here.

"Apprentice, the information you provided this time is very important, you will be rewarded by the lord after the battle, now, go out." Alberque drew a cake for Chardo and sent him away.

……

Shortly after returning to the camp, Chadordo received a summons from Master Horst.

Through the badge he had received earlier, Master Horst told him, or rather to the apprentices who had received the Secret Mark of Master Horst, like Xia Duo—

"The countdown to war is about to begin, and everyone must stay in the barracks and wait for the battle order at any time."

Although Xia Duo had already received this news from Master Horst, the arrival of the official order still made him feel a great deal of pressure.

Of course, there is also a hint of inexplicable relief.

It has always been said that war, war, but when the war will come, there has never been a certainty, just like a prisoner facing the death penalty, this torment has always tormented all the little people like Xia Duo.

In the case of unequal information, we can only strengthen ourselves as much as possible, arm ourselves, and be prepared at all times.

So, the day has finally come!

Xia Duo immediately contacted Dean and Sammy through [Communication].

Dean said well, anyway, he is now in a group with Xia Duo, and for such a long time, Xia Duo can be regarded as convinced of him, his team is actually equivalent to Xia Duo's team, and they all listen to Xia Duo's command.

However, Sammy's side has a bit of a problem, he has just encountered orcs and caused attrition, even if he kills the orcs later, it is a big blow to morale.

But Shado has no other choice, and the collaborators in the different mission areas have already chosen Sámi, or only Sami.

In this case, Xia Duo had to think about their current state.

If they don't recover as soon as possible, then not only will they suffer, but they may even affect Xia Duo.

This is especially important for Chado.

"Sammy, have you received Master Horst's summons? What's the situation going on your side? ”

In the face of Xia Duo's inquiry, Sammy's side almost replied in seconds, and he also realized his situation, with the current situation, if he lost Xia Duo as a collaborator, it would be very dangerous for him.

"Roger. The condition of the wounded on our side has stabilized, but a few of them are no longer fit to continue fighting, and we have been supplemented by six people, only one of whom is an adventurer, and the rest are civilians. ”

Sammy did not hide the truth about his situation, and it was a good idea to hide it at this time, and it was only right to be open and honest and actively seek a solution.

Six people? Xia Duo didn't expect that nearly a third of the people on Sammy's side would be replaced, and the team that had been running in about the same suddenly changed blood.

At that time, Xia Duo thought that there was a magic treatment, and he only needed to add three death places, but he didn't expect that three more people would also be replaced.

It seems that the magic healing is not a panacea, at least the magic healing provided in the camp is quite limited.

"Let's do physical training and formation training first, and I'll send someone over to conduct confrontation training with you." Xia Duo replied.

The only thing that is more fortunate now is that except for the newcomers who have just been added to Sammy's side, everyone else has really seen the orcs and has a certain understanding of the true power of the orcs.

This is already ahead of the ranks of other apprentices.

Shado cheered Sammy up, but he wasn't good at words, and in the end, it turned out to be Sammy cheering him up.

After suspending the [Communication], Shado began his final preparations after explaining that Gibb would take people to Sami Camp tomorrow.

Needless to say, in terms of equipment, hand crossbows, daggers, and magic boxes, he always carries them with him, and he can't afford other magic equipment, but the [Summoning Mount] scroll, because he went out of town to fight before, and he also gained something, and he can afford it now.

It's just that he can't enter the Mage Tower now, and he can't buy it at all. There are magic items for sale in Savile Town, but the price of any magic scroll related to running away and saving his life has increased several times, and Xia Duo can't afford it anymore.

There is no greater helplessness for the poor.

When you go out to equip, you can only work physical fitness and spells, and it is difficult for the former to make breakthroughs, Xia Duo can basically keep up with the team's actions now, and he doesn't need others to wait for him deliberately, and Dean is the same.

As for spells, Xia Duo has a lot of ideas, instantaneous is the most capable means to bring improvement, and the [Light Technique] that he is most familiar with in the 0-ring spell has been able to cast spells almost instantly.

Others are not too difficult, practice more, summarize more, combine theory with practice, and follow the steps step by step.

In this way, Xia Duo is actually ready for war (relatively speaking).

Today, after seeing the enrichment form of negative energy, Xia Duo has a deeper understanding of energy and magic nets, and combined with his previous experience of changing the [Light Technique], he has an idea to create a new spell.

This is a must-have experience for almost any famous mage or arcanist in the apprenticeship stage, and now Xia Duo has also come to this point.

The spell he wanted to create was very simple, the [Water Formation], which may have been created by someone before him, but Xia Duo did not obtain any relevant spell casting elements, not even a spell model.

This is completely based on Xia Duo's knowledge and understanding of the principles of spells and the essence of the magic net, combined with the eight 0-ring spells he has already learned.

He didn't ask how powerful this spell was or what it could bring him, but he just regarded it as an act of theory to guide practice, which was nothing more ordinary.

There will be more such behaviors in the future.
