Chapter 5 Talk
Hearing the footsteps of the sender gradually fading away, Shaoke packed up the pieces on the table, then put on his cloak, put on his long deer-skin boots, and temporarily bid farewell to the warm wooden house with his staff. He guessed that the days for the other two wizards to leave were coming? It turned out that the two wizards, like Shaoke, were both wizards of the wizards, one was called Fei and the other was called Loki. As for the full names of these two wizards, he did not know the full names of these two wizards, but Fei. Master Kia finally successfully became a magician level some time ago. According to the regulations of the empire, he submitted documents to the military headquarters to wait for domestic recruitment and further study, so as to attack a higher wizard level. The two wizards who had just arrived in the town were probably here to replace them.
As Shaoke walked, he felt less at ease and thought to himself: If it were Fei? Mage and Master Loki left, who would he solve some of his magic problems? And in the future, he would have to take on the responsibility of helping two new mages. All of this was the same as when he first came. After three years of his career in border resident, Shaoke relied on Fei? Mage and Master Kia's contribution. The current situation is: two mages were instructing one mage, but now he has become a magic apprentice to guide and helping two other mage apprentices who have just left the academy to practice magic. It is really stressful.
Shaoke just thought about walking. Even if the distance of several miles was not too far for the weak bodies of the mages, even if the environment in the north was not good, and snow was accumulated all year round. At least our mages were still used to this living environment. He closed his cloak and stepped on the snow, and walked towards the town.
Most of the towns around the border area are not big. There are about a thousand families living here for a long time in Shaoke. Because many low-level mercenaries hunt monsters here for many years and engage in various transactions with some merchants, the town looks quite prosperous.
Because of the snow here all year round, wheat, corn, and other crops cannot be grown, so the residents of the town mainly rely on hunting low-level beasts and collecting medicinal materials to maintain their lives. Of course, if there are new mercenaries to carry out missions, the residents do not mind being guided by these low-level mercenaries to earn some silver dollars from these mercenaries struggling on the lifeline to improve their family's lives. If you are lucky enough, you can get enough money to buy some better embroidered cloth from those unscrupulous merchants to make beautiful clothes. Of course, this is mainly what women and children do. Men usually buy several buckets of flour that they rarely eat to improve their lives.
When he arrived at the town, Shaoke would nod from time to time to respond to the greetings of the enthusiastic residents. In a short while, he arrived at the place where the mages gathered. In a quaint yard composed of several small wooden houses, the soldiers who were responding at the door saw the mage's arrival and quickly led the mage to the door of the living room. The soldiers uttered their voices to the inside through the wooden door and then stepped down.
The wooden door was opened with a "squeak" sound. A soldier opened the door. "Dear Master Xueye, welcome your arrival. The two masters are waiting for you inside!" Shaoke nodded and said, "Yes." He took off his cloak and handed it to the soldier who acted as a servant. Then he stomped the mud and snow on his feet at the door and entered the living room.
The living room is relatively wide, with a long oak table in the center, covered with light red tablecloths, and several long-backed chairs covered with thick animal skins for guests to use. In the living room, there were four young men wearing mage robes, two of whom were the Ferry and Loki we mentioned earlier. The other two mages looked immature and thought they were the mages to replace. Seeing this scene, Shaoke confirmed his previous guess. Then Shaoke performed the ancient mage etiquette to everyone and sat down next to the two mages who were about to leave.
When Shaoko went down, Fei? The mage did not waste time and said happily: "Master Xueye, are you a little slow? Are you busy? " "Dear Fei? Master, although my arrival is a little slow, it is mainly because you are so happy. Congratulations! I really envy you for reaching the magician level so quickly." "Haha!" Several mages laughed involuntarily. There was no reason to be unhappy, because the two mages became real magicians, not magic apprentices like Shaoko. The gap during this period was very big. According to the tradition of mages, only mages who officially became magicians can be called great magicians. Magic apprentices do not have this qualification. However, for ordinary people, they rarely pay attention to this. For them, as long as they can cast magicians, they are great and respected magicians.
Moreover, various countries on this continent also stipulate that only spellcasters who reach the level of magicians are considered real spellcasters, because spellcasters at this level can freely use second-level spells, and their personal combat power is more than twice as high. More importantly, magic apprentices in this world will be very difficult to become a magician level. Often, less than two or three can successfully be promoted. Instead of magic apprentices, as long as there are junior magicians.
The talent of spell casting can be successfully promoted. To be promoted to a magician, what is needed is not only spiritual, sufficient and purity of magic, but more importantly, the perception of spell casting. Otherwise, even if the spirit and magic are strong, without a large amount of spell casting, experience cannot be successfully promoted to a higher-level spell caster. The successful promotion of these two military mages is quite exciting, which also provides a lot of confidence and experience to the two new trainee mages and Shaoke.
The two successful mages introduced the two new trainee mages to Shaoke. They are both students of the same magic academy. If they follow the words on earth, their relationship will be the relationship between brothers and brothers, or the relationship between seniors and juniors.
Two trainee mages stood up and performed the mage etiquette to Shaoke, and then introduced each other. One was eighteen years old. He was tall and his long golden hair covered most of his face. He spoke with red and looked very shy. The other mage was named Kiya, who was the same age as Iga. He looked a little shorter than Master Iga, and he was fatter and very fleshy. His short gray hair was combed straight with a comb, looking very energetic.
The mages chatted with each other for a while, maybe they were in the mages' usual concept of time, and there was not much nonsense between them. The main reason was that the two new magicians entrusted the newcomer to Shaoke, hoping that he could take care of the two new mages in the future. After all, they were not so familiar with everything here, and they were just novices who left the academy. Shaoke then told the two mages that he would take good care of their new companions, just like he had just come to take care of himself, and once again expressed his congratulations and envy to the two mages who had successfully promoted.
Since things have been agreed, Master Fei and Master Loki proposed to bring the new mages back to their residence to give them some explanations and guide their spells. When Shaoke saw the situation, he asked: "Dear Fei? Master, Master Loki, when will you leave? If you have time, I would like to ask you two for your insights on promotion. I don't know if it's convenient for you." Master Loki said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Master Xueye, we will stay here for at least one month or two months, so as to do our best to help our two new mages. During this period, you can go to me and Master Fei at any time." "Thank you! I hope my disturbance will not delay you too much time."
When they were about to part, Master Fei invited Shaoke to his residence as a witness. It turned out that Master Fei and Master Loki planned to give their small wooden house to the two new mages, and hoped to complete this under Shaoke's witness. Shaoke also agreed. Fortunately, the residences of the two mages were next to each other and did not require the mages to walk again. After the mages' wooden house was delivered, it was almost dark the day after tomorrow, so he refused the invitation to stay here for dinner, leaving the mages space to discuss their college life and study days. When he left, he also congratulated the two mages on seeing their relatives and hoped to come and ask for their insights on being promoted to the magician level in a few days.
Then several people agreed to meet again in a month, and at that time the two magicians would guide Shaoke to the insights of casting spells.
During this period, the main thing is to explain some of the difficulties they encountered in casting spells. After all, they are not teachers of some research schools in the academy. Their skills and understanding of spells are always the same. Of course, the most important thing is to guide them to pay attention to when performing tasks in this foggy forest. After all, they will have to face various dangers with some warriors alone in the next three years. After all, the mages' melee ability is not as strong as the warriors, and they are even more dangerous in the forest in the north. They do not want the two newcomers to accidentally be stabbed by poisonous plants or killed by monsters, etc.
All of this was much better than Shao Ke's treatment at that time. The mage who was about to leave only introduced everything here in just five days, and then left in a hurry. I don't know if it felt that time was precious or could not suppress the excitement in his heart and eager to learn new magic knowledge? These are still a mystery to Shao Ke now, after all, they have not reached that level.
