Arcane Lord

"Just after the assessment, the Master Mage told me a message that the orcs are coming! Let me be prepared."

When Dean thought of the brutal and savage orcs, his voice trembled. He was obviously frightened and even said that he regretted his promotion.

When Xia Duo heard this, he was also shocked. He knew some of the game backgrounds before the crossing, but it was just a little. He didn't have much concept of real orcs. He just heard the adventurers in the town talk about them.

Orcs are savage, brutal, and powerful. If you meet them in the wild, you will definitely die. All the adventurers Xia Duo knows will show fear when they mention orcs.

Now from what Dean said, the Mage Tower seems to want apprentices to participate in the fight against orcs?

Shado hurriedly said, "Dean, calm down. This is the Mage Tower. The orcs won't come here to eat you. What's going on with the orcs coming? What's the plan of the Mage Tower?"

"The orc tide that comes once every ten years is coming. How could I have forgotten about it!" Dean pulled his hair with his hands. "Shado, you should be prepared in advance. The Mage Tower will soon recruit us."

Dean was very flustered and told the news he knew and heard from the assessment mage. Shado thought about it and found that the situation was a bit serious.

Since more than a hundred years ago, when the great arcanist Iorum led the Nether army to clean up the orcs in Netheril, the orc tide has been reduced from once every five years to once every ten years.

But the losses caused each time are still extremely heavy. The loss of materials is secondary. The key is the loss of population, which always hurts Netheril.

The population of Savile has been around tens of thousands for 90 years, which is largely affected by the orc tide. After ten years of hard recuperation, the population grew, and then the orcs came.

In order to deal with this orc tide, all formal apprentices will be recruited and join the territory army. Although they are not cannon fodder, going to the battlefield is no joke. Who knows what will happen.

Xia Duo does not think that he will definitely survive.

…

After sending Dean away, Xia Duo sat still and thought carefully about the impact of the orc tide on him. It’s just that he has not seen many things with his own eyes, and he has not even read books about these things. Judging from the rumors he heard from others, this time is dangerous.

Until "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. Today's restaurant is surprisingly noisy, and the apprentices are all talking about the attack of orcs.

However, Xia Duo did not see a few formal apprentices, all of them were ordinary apprentices with "no names".

Shado didn't want to stay any longer, so he took his breakfast and headed for the Arcane Garden. Sammy and Dewan had arrived before Shado. Both of them looked very serious, talking in low voices, and their eyes drifted towards the elevator from time to time, as if they were waiting for Shado.

When Shado stepped into the Arcane Garden, the two of them walked towards Shado at the same time. When they got close, Sammy whispered, "Shado, have you heard the news? The approximate time of the orc tide has been determined."

"What?!"

Last night, the news brought by Dean did not have the approximate time of the orc tide, but only confirmed that there would be an orc tide. Unexpectedly, after one night, even the time was spread.

"I heard that the lord's followers personally found out the news, and I think it should be true."

"When?" Shado asked.

"At the end of this month."

"What! So soon?!"

Shado was quite surprised. This month was already halfway over. In other words, there were only more than ten days before the orc tide. What could he prepare in more than ten days!

"This is just a conservative estimate. If it's fast, the war will start in less than ten days."

Sami's words made Shado silent, and he kept thinking in his heart. First of all, he couldn't escape. He was a mage apprentice. Leaving the town when the orcs came was not the way to seek death.

The only way to survive might be to obey 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 do you want to see me for?"

Sami was stunned, and looked at Dewan. In the end, Sami said the purpose, "We know that you still have the exchange rights for learning scrolls. We want to buy an exchange right from you."

"Why? What about yours?" Shado did not refuse directly, because he had no expectation of the orcs' tide. Almost all of his gold coins were spent, and he needed to prepare for the orcs' attack.

"We don't have the right to learn and redeem. We can only get it after completing a certain number of territory tasks. The prerequisite for accepting territory tasks is to master 5 0-ring spells including [Communication] and [Detect Poison]. We are stuck on these two spells."

Sammy's attitude was very humble, and he even told Shado which spells he had mastered.

"Then what spell learning scroll do you want to get?"

No refusal? Sammy and Dewane were delighted and said at the same time, "Communication!"

Shado was thoughtful. These two people would definitely not choose [Communication] to accept territory tasks, otherwise they would definitely mention [Detect Poison] as well.

[Communication] must be helpful for the battle in half a month, so they would choose it. 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, Sammy 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."
