Chapter 304: Joining the Mage's Guild
The teacher's notes are very clear, the wall of fire is five meters long and one meter wide, and lasts for thirty seconds, only after mastering it can the power of this magic be enhanced, how skilled is the hundred-meter-long wall of fire in Gu Zhuangdian.
Ding Kui studied the second-level control magic, and the most detailed descriptions were the "Wall of Fire" and "Whirlwind Technique", which should be Tai Shugong's housekeeping skills when he was young.
The "Wall of Fire" can limit the terrain and also has high damage, and Ding Kui felt that it was more suitable for use in Tianmen Town than the "Whirlwind Technique", so he decided to learn the "Wall of Fire" first.
The next day, the eastern sky had just turned white, and on the outskirts of Zhenjing, the smoke had risen from the camp of the Eighth Army.
The auxiliaries in the baggage camp were busy, and the weapons and armor exclusive to the legion were wrapped and loaded onto the flatbed cart, and there were military tents and camp tools piled up on the side.
A leader of the auxiliary corps was shouting: "Pack up the emergency medicines, put on a few layers of rainproof cloths, this time you will pass through three states, and you will definitely encounter rain and snow."
Deng Gou'er, don't stuff dry food into the car, there are local governments to provide food all the way, don't you think there are enough things pulled by the big car?
Wang Xiaoshi, you fucking buckle the marching pot for me, and if you smash it on the road, I'll roast you and eat it.
Chen Erxi, **Uncle, the order from above is very clear, it is light and simple! Hurry up and take your people to tow the siege vehicle back for me. ”
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the ten division commanders of the 71st to 80th divisions were already neatly draped, and under the leadership of Dong Ba, they saluted a military flag in the tent with solemn expressions.
"The Legionnaire will join us on the road, and until then, I will take command for the time being. Dong Ba held a military order in both hands and said, "The 74th and 77th divisions escorted the baggage battalion to set off first and open the way for the vanguard to open the way for the army."
The 71st, 72nd, 75th, 76th, 78th, and 79th divisions were the central army, and they set off after dawn and marched according to the standard of 500 kilometers per day.
The 73rd and 80th Divisions were the rear army, which contained the officers and men who had fallen behind, and had to arrive at the temporary camp of the army before nightfall every day. ”
"Order!" the other nine division commanders responded with their fists clasped together.
Unlike the tense atmosphere of the Eighth Legion, the early morning in Tianmen Town was very quiet, and Ding Kui wondered if he was in Tianmen Town, which was infested by the beast tide. When he entered the barracks with the token and came to the camp where he had assembled, he smelled the smell of burnt meat.
"What does this taste like?" Ding Kui patted Lei Feixiang from behind, staring at breakfast but not eating.
"Oh, that's the smell of burning beast carcasses. Although there were auxiliaries to collect edible beasts, there were still a large number of carcasses left outside the city, so magicians were sent to set fire to burn them to ashes. Lei Feixiang swallowed his spit and said.
"The land outside is fertile, but unfortunately no one is planting crops. Ding Kui's first reaction was that this would fertilize the field.
"As long as the crops are planted, wild beasts will steal them, and no one will bother to grow crops in the north. Lei Feixiang patiently explained to Ding Kui, a rookie.
"Yo, yes, it's more energetic to put on leather armor, which is a bit like being an adventure party. Ding Kui found that Lei Feixiang was dressed in neat leather armor.
"Hehe, the owner of the tailor shop is familiar with me, and he said that my figure consumes too many animal skins, and he would have charged me an extra fifty silver coins, but for the sake of acquaintance, it will be exempted. "Lei Feixiang is a little proud.
"Hahaha, come on, you, that's because there were too many demonic beasts killed yesterday, and it was too late to skin the corpses of the demonic beasts that were picked up, and the number of people who made leather armor was almost zero, do you still think that Tailor Zhang is really so generous?" The magician who laughed at Lei Feixiang yesterday also arrived.
"My name is Xie Peng, an early staff magician, dare to name your name?" Ding Kui greeted the magician.
"Hello, Your Excellency Xie Peng, my name is Liao Chen, a mid-term staff magician. Liao Chen didn't dare to underestimate Ding Kui, the scene of knocking the pangolin to death was deeply imprinted in his mind.
"By the way, Your Excellency Liao Chen, why is there no magician waiting for us on the city wall to take over the defense?" Ding Kui asked.
"No beasts and monsters will move outside during this early morning, even when the beast tide breaks out, so the magician who guarded the city last night has already gone back to rest. "It seems that this is not the first time that Liao Chen has participated in resisting the beast tide.
"It seems that the town guards have been on guard for the longest time, and we were on the walls for almost the whole day yesterday. Ding Kui wanted to find something to talk about with these experienced magicians.
"Because the overall strength of the town guard team is the strongest. Gu Zhuangdian's voice sounded behind Ding Kui, "The young magicians sent by the Magician Association are responsible for the defense of the western section of the city wall, as well as the magic guilds of Tianxi City and Xuebei City.
Although there were as many as twenty young magicians in that group, most of them were robed magicians, with only six wand-wielding magicians, and Tianxi City and Xuebei City combined were only ten people, although their leaders were all tower opening magicians. ”
"Master Gu, I heard that you are the leader of the Magicians Guild of Autumn Twilight City, what about the other magicians in your guild?" Ding Kui was like a curious baby.
"Tianmen Town is under the jurisdiction of Autumn Twilight City, but due to its special location, there is a Magician's Guild here, and it is also managed by the vice president of the Magician Guild.
Twilight City may be the smallest magician guild in the kingdom, and there are few magicians in its own right, and there are no magicians willing to join Twilight City at all.
Flowing Lang mages will join Tianmen Town when they come here, and Autumn Twilight City is not the slightest bit attractive, and there are two mages in our guild who are doing logistics. Gu Zhuangdian looked helpless.
"Can a Flowing Lang Magician also join the Magician Guild? What are the requirements?" Ding Kui's new identity belongs to the Flowing Lang Magician.
"By the way, Xie Peng, you haven't joined the Magicians Guild yet, what conditions do you want, are you from the Shaodian country?" Gu Zhuangdian's eyes lit up.
"yes, but I don't have any identification. "Of course, Ding Kui, a black household, can't get an identity certificate.
"As soon as you came to Tianmen Town, you joined the town protection team, and yesterday you did your best to protect the land and people of Shaodian, and it is impossible for you to be a spy sent by a foreign country with your strength. What kind of identity do you want, as long as you are willing to join the Wizards Guild of Twilight City, I will vouch for you. ”
"Ah, that's okay, isn't it?"
"Of course, I have the final say in Autumn Twilight City, and the wizards of Snow Ridge County dare not agree. ”
"What does it take to join the Wizards' Guild of Twilight? I won't be looking forward to being here for long. Ding Kui was a little moved when he heard this.
"It doesn't matter, joining the Mage's Guild must respond to the wartime call, don't bother if the person is not there, you are equivalent to responding to the call-up now. In the future, if you encounter a war on the border, you will also have to respond to the call. As long as you join Twilight City, no one cares about you wherever you fall in love. Gu Zhuangdian told Ding Kui about the minimum requirements of the Wizards' Guild.
Of course, there are other things in the Magicians Guild that require the participation of magicians, but as the president, he can choose who to participate and who not to participate, and Gu Zhuangdian has done anything to give his guild a single person.
This is also because of Ding Kui's performance yesterday, including paying for Lei Feixiang to buy leather armor. In Gu Zhuangdian's eyes, there is no problem with Ding Kui's character, and there can be no big problem with his background, let alone the identity of a magician.
"So, then I can join, do I need to be assessed?" Ding Kui asked.
"Yesterday I asked you to learn control magic, did you learn it?"
"I've learned the 'Wall of Fire', but I'm not proficient yet, and it will take a long time to cast it. ”
"When you get to the city wall, you can cast one for me, plus you can take off the magic and the air shield, the magic power is not a problem, and the purity is also high, it is not difficult to rate you a staff magician. Gu Zhuangdian saw Ding Kui's intentions, and he was even more reluctant to let him go.
As the saying goes, after the town guards arrived, Gu Zhuangdian immediately took them to the western section of the city wall. The infantry they partnered with was replaced by a new batch, but the archers were still in the seventh squadron.
It took Ding Kui a full five minutes to paint a wall of fire five meters long and one meter wide in front of the ditch under the city.
"Is this the first time you've cast the 'Wall of Fire'?" asked Gu Zhuangdian.
"Yes. ”
"Okay, Xie Peng, from now on you will be a member of the Magicians Guild of Autumn Twilight City. I'll ask the guild to make you a few mage robes after the city is over, and I'll have your identification and other items ready for you in a few days. Gu Zhuangdian officially announced.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency Xie Peng. Liao Chen and a few magicians from the town guard team came over to congratulate him.
"From today, the town guard team can settle the bounty of the previous day in the hall of the magic tower with the jade card, and you can also settle it together in a few days, and if there is any absence, I will report to the Magician Guild of Tianmen Town for deduction. "After the private affairs are done, Gu Zhuangdian will only do the work, and the magician is much more casual than the knight.
The second wave of beasts was particularly large, and lasted all night last night, and the third wave of beasts did not appear after dawn, which brought great psychological pressure to the guards of Tianmen Town.
The longer the interval between the arrival of the beasts, the larger the size of the beasts, and the more arduous the guards of Tianmen Town, the leaders of the Tianmen Fortress Division, ** Shan and Rong Ci, both pressed a big stone in their hearts.
Thousands of miles away in Zhenjing, the high-level officials of the Shaodian Kingdom were also in a very heavy mood at the moment, and Duke Zisi brought a message that made the government and the opposition angry in the early court.
"The Great King, the Great Horse of the Kingdom of Meng declares that our country must be responsible for their convoy, and demands that our country cede Nanmar Prefecture for compensation. Zisi reported in the hall.
"What? Cession of Nannuma Prefecture? Is Meng Fei crazy?" Shao Dian Dan was so angry that he stood up.
"King Qijuan, Weichen can be sure that the Commander's Mansion has not issued an order to attack the Meng fleet, all the troops stationed in Shanyuan Prefecture have not left the camp recently, and the disappearance of the Meng transport war horse fleet has nothing to do with the Shaodian Kingdom. Shao Dianzhang responded immediately.
The other ministers who participated in the court meeting looked at each other, they couldn't interject in such a thing, and the request of the envoy of the Meng State was equivalent to a slap on the head of the Shaodian State.
