Chapter 38: Attack of the Orcs, [Communication]
"Just after the assessment, Master Mage told me that the orcs are coming! Let me be prepared."
Thinking of the cruel and savage orcs, Dean's voice was trembling. It was obvious that he was frightened and even said regrets for promotion.
Xia Duo was also shocked when he heard this. He knew something from some game backgrounds before crossing, but only some. He didn't have much concept of real orcs. He just heard the adventurers in town talk about it. Over.
The orcs are savage, brutal, and powerful. As long as they meet in the wild, they will inevitably die. All the adventurers that Xia Duo knew would show fear whenever he mentioned the orcs.
Now listening to Dean's meaning, it seems that Mage Tower wants the apprentice to participate in the fight against the orcs?
Xia Duo quickly said: "Dean, calm down, this is the mage tower, the orcs will not come here to eat you. What is going on with the orcs coming? What plans does the mage tower have?"
"The once-in-a-year orc tide is coming, why should I forget about it!" Dean pulled his hair, "Xia Duo, you should prepare in advance. Soon the Mage Tower will recruit us. ."
Dean was very panicked, and said the words he knew and heard from the assessment mage. Xia Duo made up his mind and found that the matter was a little serious.
Since more than a hundred years ago, the Great Arcanist Iolum led the Netherite army to clean up the orcs in Netheril, the orcs tide has been reduced from once every five years to once in the past ten years. .
But the losses caused each time are still extremely heavy, and the material losses are second. The key is the loss of population, and each time Netheril's vitality is greatly injured.
Saville led the pioneering for ninety years, and the population has been hovering around tens of thousands, largely because of the influence of the orcs. After ten years of cultivation, the population increased, and then the orcs came.
In order to deal with this wave of orcs, all official apprentices will be called up and join the territory army. Although it is not cannon fodder, it is not a joke to go to the battlefield. Who knows what will happen.
Xia Duo didn't think he would be able to survive.
……
After sending Dean away, Xia Duo sat still, thinking carefully about the impact of the orcs on him, but there are many things that I haven’t seen with my own eyes, and I haven’t even read books about them. Just judging from hearsay rumors, this time It's dangerous.
After the "lights off", Xia Duo was still thinking about how to enhance his self-protection ability in order to survive the crisis.
The next day, Xia Duo came to the restaurant on the first floor of the Mage Tower with two dark circles under his eyes. Today's restaurant was surprisingly noisy, and the apprentices were all talking about the orc attack.
But Xia Duo didn't see a few formal apprentices, all of them were ordinary apprentices with no name.
Chateau didn't want to stay too long. He took breakfast and headed to the Arcane Garden. Sammy and Devine had arrived before Chateau. The expressions on their faces were very solemn. They talked quietly, and their eyes floated to the elevator. The direction seems to be waiting for Xia Duo.
When Chateau stepped into the Arcane Garden, the two approached Chateau at the same time. When they got closer, Sammy whispered, "Chateau, have you heard the news? The approximate time of the orc tide has been determined."
"what?!"
Last night, the news that Dean brought did not have the approximate time of the orc wave, but it was certain that there would be an orc wave. I did not expect that the night would pass, and even the time would spread.
"I heard that the followers of the lord personally inquired about the news, I think it should be true."
"When?" Xia Duo asked.
"The end of this month."
"What! So fast?!"
Xia Duo was quite surprised. This month is already halfway through. In other words, the orc crowd only has more than ten days. What can he prepare for more than ten days!
"This is just a conservative estimate. If it is soon, the war will start in less than ten days."
Sami’s words silenced Xia Duo, thinking constantly in his heart that he could not escape first. He was a mage apprentice, and he left the town when the orc wave arrived, and he didn’t look for death like that.
The only survival possibility is to follow the arrangements of the Mage Tower and try to improve their self-protection ability. I believe that the Mage Tower will not easily let them fall into danger.
"By the way, what are you looking for me?"
Sami was stunned, and looked at Devine, and finally it was Sami who said in the future, "We know that you still have the redemption permission for the study scroll, and we want to purchase the redemption permission from you."
"Why? What about yours?" Xia Duo did not directly refuse, because he had no expectation of the orcs tide, and almost all the gold coins on him were spent, and he needed to prepare for the orcs to attack.
"We don’t have the right to learn to redeem. We can only obtain it after completing a certain number of territorial missions. The prerequisite for accepting territorial missions is to master 5 0-level spells including [Communication] and [Detection Poison]. We are all stuck. On these two spells."
Sami's attitude is very low, and even tells Chateau what spells he has mastered.
"Then what spell learning scroll do you want to get?"
Did not refuse? Sami and Devine were overjoyed, and they spoke in unison, "Communication!"
Xia Duo thoughtful~www.readwn.com~ The two of them absolutely cannot choose [Communication] in order to accept the mission of the territory. Otherwise, they must even say [Detection Poison] together.
[Communication] It must be helpful for the battle after half a month, and they will choose this way. With the help of learning scrolls, half a month is enough for them to master this spell.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo still shook his head, "The learning scroll has limited redemption rights. I can't sell it to you, but I can rent it to you for 8 hours."
When I heard that the scrolls were not for sale, Sami immediately became a little anxious, as if he wanted to argue about something, Devine pushed him a bit, and then he heard the words from Chateau about renting, Sami quickly said, "Rent? How to rent? "
"I exchange the scrolls, and the three of us transcribe at the same time. As for the cost, I need your two notes on [Vertigo].
Knowledge exchange for gold coins is the worst, and it is best to change to a spell note that is also knowledge. Controlling spells like [Dizziness] may be needed later.
"I agree." Devine agreed immediately.
Then he looked at Sami, because Chateau wanted the notes of the two of them, Sami hesitated and said, "I haven't learned this spell."
Xia Duo was a little disappointed. He still wanted to learn a new spell from the notes of the two. Now that one person is missing, Xia Duo suddenly lacks interest. "What about this spell?"
"[Restoration] is it OK?"
Of course not. Xia Duo has already exchanged the [Restoration Art] learning scroll, and he doesn't need his notes at all. It would be okay to replace it with the official mage's notes, but it is a pity that Sammy doesn't have it.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo chose gold coins, "Give me gold coins, 15 gold coins."
