"The assessment has just ended. The mage told me the news that the orcs are coming! Let me get ready."
When he thought of the ferocious and savage orcs, there was a tremor in Dean's voice. He was obviously frightened, and he even said that he regretted his promotion.
Xia Duo was also shocked when he heard this. He knew something from some game backgrounds before time travel, but it was only a few. He didn't have much idea about real orcs. He just listened to the adventurers in the town talking about them. Pass.
Orcs are savage, ferocious, and powerful. If you encounter them in the wild, you will definitely die. All the adventurers Shado knew would show fear whenever they mentioned orcs.
Now listening to what Dean means, Mage Tower seems to want the apprentices to participate in the fight against the orcs?
Sha 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 is the plan for the Mage Tower?"
"The orc wave that happens once every ten years is coming, how could I have forgotten about it!" Dean pulled his hair, "Xia Duo, please prepare in advance, the Mage Tower will recruit us soon. .”
Dean was very panicked and told one thing or another about what he knew and heard from the assessment mage. Sha Duo thought about it and realized that the matter was a bit serious.
Ever since the Grand Arcanist Iolum led the Netherese army to cleanse the orcs in Netheril more than a hundred years ago, the orc tide has been reduced from once every five years to only once every ten years. .
However, the losses caused each time were still extremely heavy, with material losses secondarily, and the most important thing being the population losses, which each time severely damaged Netheril's vitality.
In the 90 years since the Savile Territory was established, the population has always hovered around tens of thousands, largely due to the influence of the orc tide. After ten years of cultivation, the population increased, and then the orcs came.
In order to deal with this orc wave, all formal apprentices will be recruited to join the territorial army. Although they are not cannon fodder, going to the battlefield is no joke. Who knows what will happen.
Xia Duo didn't think he would definitely survive.
…
After sending Dean away, Shado sat still and thought carefully about the impact of the orc tide on him. However, he had never seen many things with his own eyes, or even read books about them. Judging from hearsay, this time It's dangerous.
Until after "lights out", Xia Duo was still thinking about how to enhance his self-protection ability in order to survive this 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. The restaurant was surprisingly noisy today, and the apprentices were all talking about the orcs' attack.
However, Xia Duo didn't see a few formal apprentices, they were all "nameless" ordinary apprentices.
Shado didn't want to stay too long, so he took breakfast and headed to the Arcane Garden. Sami and Devine had already arrived before Shado. The expressions on their faces were solemn. They were talking quietly, and their eyes drifted to the elevator from time to time. The direction seems to be waiting for Xia Duo.
When Shado stepped into the Arcane Garden, the two of them walked towards Shado at the same time. When they got close, Sami whispered: "Shado, have you heard the news? The approximate time of the orc wave has been determined."
"What?!"
Last night, the news brought by Dean did not have the approximate time of the orc wave, but it was certain that there would be a wave of orcs. Unexpectedly, one night passed, and even time spread.
"I heard that the lord's followers personally found out the information. I think it is true."
"When?" Xia Duo asked.
"The end of this month."
"What! So fast?!"
Xia Duo was quite surprised. It was already halfway through the month. In other words, there were only more than ten days left for the orc wave. What more could he prepare in just ten days!
"This is just a conservative estimate. If it goes quickly, the war will start in less than ten days."
Sammy's words made Sha Duo silent, and he kept thinking in his mind. First of all, he couldn't escape by running away. As a mage apprentice, he left the town when the orc tide came, and he didn't seek death in this way.
The only possibility of survival is to obey the arrangements of the Mage Tower and try to improve their self-protection capabilities. I believe that the Mage Tower will not easily put them in danger.
"By the way, what do you want from me?"
Sami was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with Devine. Finally, Sami finally said what he wanted to say, "We know that you still have the redemption rights to learn the scrolls, and we want to buy the redemption rights from you."
"Why? Where's yours?" Sha Duo did not refuse directly, because he had no expectations for the orc tide. Almost all the gold coins he had on him were spent, and he needed to prepare for the orc attack.
"We don't have the right to learn and exchange. We can only get it by completing a certain number of territory tasks. However, the prerequisite for accepting territory tasks is to master five 0-ring spells including [Communication] and [Detect Poison]. We are all stuck. On these two spells.”
Sami's attitude was very low-key, and he even told Sha Duo what spells he had mastered.
"Then what spell learning scroll do you want to get?"
No rejection? Sami and Devine were overjoyed and said in unison, "Messaging technique!"
Xia Duo thought thoughtfully. It was absolutely impossible for these two people to choose [Messaging Technique] in order to accept the territory mission. Otherwise, they would have even said [Detect Poison].
[Messaging Technique] must be helpful in the battle in half a month, so they chose this. 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 redemption rights are limited, so I can't sell it to you, but I can rent it to you for 8 hours."
When he heard that the scroll was not for sale, Sami immediately became anxious and seemed to want to argue. Devine pushed him, and then heard Sha Duo's words about renting. Sami quickly said, "Rent? How to rent? "
"I will redeem the scroll, and the three of us will copy it at the same time. As for the price, I need your two notes on the [Stun Technique]."
The biggest disadvantage is exchanging knowledge for gold coins. It is best to exchange it for spell notes that are also knowledge. Control spells such as [Stun] may be needed later.
"I agree." Devine agreed immediately.
Then he looked at Sami, because what Sha Duo wanted was the notes of the two of them. Sami hesitated and said, "I have never learned this spell."
Xia Duo was a little disappointed. He was still thinking of learning a new spell based on the two people's notes. Now that there was one person missing, Xia Duo suddenly lost interest, "What about this spell?"
"Is [Repair Technique] okay?"
Of course it won't work. Xia Duo has already exchanged the [Repair Technique] learning scroll, and there is no need for his notes. It would be okay if they were replaced by the notes of an official mage. Unfortunately, Sami doesn't have any, and even if he does, he probably won't want to.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo chose gold coins, "Give me gold coins, 15 gold coins."
