After three days, the weather gradually changed, and the dark and oppressive dwarf clouds gradually covered the whole sky, and even a little snowflakes fell.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo decisively decided to return to the town, seeing that it was about to snow, he didn't know if the orcs would continue to attack on a snowy day, but it was obviously not a good choice to go out on a mission on a snowy day.

Coupled with the fact that they had been out for three days and were a little short of supplies, it was the right time to return at this time.

Shado is a man of action, and as soon as he had an idea, he informed Gibb and asked him to prepare to pack his things. After that, Shado found Sammy.

"It's snowing, I'm going back to town, what about you?"

"This—" Sammy hesitated, "what if the orcs take the opportunity to get out of the forest?" ”

The tragedy of the village he had passed by three days earlier was still in Sammy's mind, and he was unable to make a decision for a while. And Xia Duo thought that Sami should be very convincing, but he didn't expect to get stuck here.

Does he still want to fight in the snow?

"Orcs also want to eat, but they are also afraid of the cold, this snow is not expected to be small, if they don't run for their lives, do they still want to come to die?" Xia Duo persuaded.

The fact that the orc's lair was wiped out is not a secret matter in the territory, even if you don't deliberately inquire, you will listen to other team members in the past few days.

Like Shado, he just listened to Gibb.

A trace of struggle appeared on Sammy's face, and this was when Devane heard the two of them talking, "Sammy, I also agree to go back now, even if there are really orcs coming, do we still have to fight in the snow?" ”

Also a mage's apprentice, Devane is much more rational than Sammy, sensibility is a good thing, but letting sensibility overpower reason is not necessarily a good thing, especially for mages.

"Okay!"

Although it was still a little unhappy, Sami finally agreed to Shado's proposal, as for Dean, he is now only Chardo's first look, basically what Shado says, he will do it, and he is very obedient.

In this way, the teams on both sides packed up their things and returned while the snow was still heavy.

On his way back, Xia Duo deliberately took a few more detours to warn some villages where there were still people - keep an eye on the direction of the forest, and hide as long as he finds an orc.

This move made Xia Duo immediately gain the respect of everyone, including Sammy. It is true that the Master is rational, but if he is too rational, he will lose his humanity and the road will become narrower and narrower.

Showing warmth appropriately is not another rational choice!

From the Biography of Archmage Darth Riel, Chardo learned not only some common knowledge in the field of magic, the customs of Nessreel, but also the wisdom of a mage.

This wisdom is not only reflected in the insight and analysis of objective things, but also in the insight into human feelings and people's hearts.

Of course, there is no such thing as absolute sanity among mages, but that kind of situation is very rare, and this kind of person is almost invisible to everyone.

As far as Xia Duo is concerned, he never wants to have anything to do with this kind of person, maybe this second you are alive is useful to him, the two of them are laughing, and the next second he thinks that your death is useful to him, and he may have to go to war immediately.

Essentially, this is extreme egoism, and perhaps many mages do, but they don't show it.

……

After some detours, Xia Duo and the others returned to Savile Town at almost noon, and this time they came back with more than forty people from outside the town.

For a variety of reasons, they voluntarily chose to join the territorial army, and Xia Duo brought them and their families back along the way.

It's just that when everyone returned to the barracks and was about to end their mission to spend the winter, they learned bad news, and all the teams that returned in the past two days were told-

Heavy snow is at least a week away from falling, this is the news from the Mage Tower.

In other words, Xia Duo and they will continue for at least another week, so the originally planned holiday has become a temporary repair, and they will continue to go on a mission tomorrow.

……

Old Neil's Inn, guest room on the second floor, Necromancer Kenny was holding a heavy book, reading it carefully, and Old Neil respectfully reported to Necromancer Kenny what he had heard.

"Your Excellency, tomorrow morning a convoy of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce will leave the Savile Territory and head north; In the afternoon, the Nugent Chamber of Commerce also had a convoy leaving Saville for Connefila City, both of which were recruiting mages. ”

Old Neil set his expectant eyes on Master Kenny, and he now hoped that the out-of-town mage would leave as soon as possible, so that he could also put aside the relationship as soon as possible.

"I've changed my mind." Master Kenny looked away from the book and looked at Old Neil, who knew what was going on his mind, "I'm going to stay in Savile until next year." ”

"What?!"

Old Neil was taken aback, and he didn't know what was wrong, so that the foreign mage had changed his mind temporarily, and Old Neil's lips twitched, and he was about to say something.

"What? Do you have an opinion? ”

Facing the pair of eyes that suddenly became indifferent, old Neil suddenly swallowed back the words he originally wanted to say, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

"Get out, I'm going to read!"

"Yes, yes!"

Old Neil almost ran out of the way, and the foreign mage still had to stay in the Savile Territory, which made Old Neil even more panicked, for fear that the lord's soldiers would come and knock on the door in the next second.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that Old Neil doesn't know what this Kenny Mage did in Savile, otherwise, he would probably go to the temple to denounce it immediately.

And if he did this, Master Kenny would be able to take his life, and even his soul, in no time.

Old Neil, who didn't know that his fate was hanging by a thread, returned to the first floor, and the war ahead was over, and the recruited adventurers were also released.

It's just the number of people, it would be nice to have one out of ten come back, and even this one must have a lot of scars.

But even this made old Neil's inn a little more angry, a group of young men from nowhere, who were surrounding a middle-aged man on crutches, listening to him talk about the "great achievements" of some time ago.

"You don't know, the orc's battle axe has already been split on top of my head at that time, but if I hesitate at all, my whole body will be split in half!"

"And then?"

"Later, of course I fought back, you don't know that the blood spurting from the orc's neck poured on me, so fishy, so smelly!" When the middle-aged man on crutches said this, he also made a nose slapping motion.

It was as if the orc's blood was still on him.

The onlookers immediately looked at him with a look of adoration, and he seemed to enjoy it very much.

Just then, there was a shrill laugh from outside the door.
