Arcane Lord

The transaction went much smoother after that. Xia Duo saw that most of the people who came here to buy scrolls to save their lives were ordinary apprentices, not many formal apprentices, and most of the things they bought were just 1-level [Summoning Mount] scrolls.

A few also purchased scrolls such as [Summon Monster] and [Mage Armor].

From this point of view, the army should not provide mounts. Of course, Xia Duo preferred to think that these people were preparing to escape, and he could only watch others shopping with envy.

He himself did not have the budget to purchase spell scrolls. In one word, he was poor!

After queuing up, it was finally Xia Duo's turn.

"I would like to redeem a [Secret Mark] learning scroll."

The sales apprentice was blinded again and looked at the gloomy-faced mage. However, this time the mage did not scold him. Instead, he quickly confirmed Xia Duo's authority with the tower spirit and personally took out a learning scroll from the closed shelf behind him and gave it to Xia Duo. .

For the first time, he said, "Make good use of it."

Xia Duo responded quickly and took the scroll. At the same time, the familiar ethereal mechanical sound of the tower spirit also sounded in Xia Duo's ears, "Apprentice Xia Duo, exchange for a [Secret Mark] learning scroll, and the exchange authority is -1. "

Putting away the scroll, Xia Duo quickly left the No. 6 material application office.

The official mage's attention made him a little uneasy. He originally planned to buy some poison to quench the poison of hand crossbow arrows, but now he is not ready to buy it here.

Without even asking, he just left.

…

Library floor, Edrich's transcription room.

Shado bluntly said that he needed a poison that was strong enough to fight the orcs, and Edrich seemed to have expected it, and he started to introduce it calmly:

"I only have two poisons here. One is the product of a failed experiment by an official mage in the Mage Tower, and the other is obtained from an outside merchant. Which one do you want?"

"What are the two prices? What about the quantity and intensity of the poison?"

"A standard bottle costs 50 gold coins for the first portion and 20 gold coins for the second portion. As for toxicity, both can affect the orcs."

"Influence? Not killing?" Xia Duo hesitated.

Edrich shook his head, "The physique of orcs is far superior to that of ordinary humans. It is difficult for ordinary poisons to cause fatal harm to them. It is quite good to have some impact."

Xia Duo secretly sighed in his heart. It would be great if there was a poison that could seal the throats of orcs at the sight of blood. But after hearing the prices of these two so-called ordinary poisons, Xia Duo understood that if there was such a deadly poison, it was not something he could do. Affordable.

Even these poisons are still bought in general. Poisonous ones are much better than non-poisonous ones, so he asked again:

"So what specific effects do these two poisons have on orcs?"

"A portion of 50 gold coins is a paralyzing poison. In actual testing with orcs, the orcs will be instantly paralyzed after drinking one bottle. Even if it is just applied to the weapon and hurts, it can also make the orcs in a trance."

Edrich was quite confident in the paralysis poison accidentally created by the mage, and even said that it had been tested with orcs. Shado did not doubt it, but then asked about the second poison.

"20 gold coins per serving is just an ordinary poison. For humans, one bottle is fatal, but for orcs, even if they drink one bottle, they will not die on the spot, they will just become weak, but applying it to their weapons will hurt them. When it comes to orcs, orcs will also become weak, but the degree of weakness-"

Edrich didn't say anything else after that. Xia Duo knew that drinking one bottle would only make him weak, so how effective would the poison on the weapon be?

Xia Duo immediately decided, "Let's get a bottle of paralyzing poison."

After counting out 50 gold coins and giving them to Edrich, Chateau obtained a bottle of paralyzing poison. It was indeed a standard bottle, less than 50 ml.

After calculating, one gold coin can’t buy 1 milliliter, which is more expensive than gold.

After putting away the poison bottle, Shado was about to leave, but Edrich stopped him, "I'll tell you some news. A big shot has come to the territory. He is the main force in dealing with the orcs this time. This time, the apprentices only need to be responsible for cleaning up." Just the scattered orcs in the forest, be careful to find more people to unite with."

The first time he heard the news, Shado only thought it was a rumor. When he heard the news again, although Dean told him that he had heard it from Edrich, Shado still took it a little further. .

"Is the news accurate? Then why didn't anyone come to help in the past? I heard-"

Edrich suddenly made an enigmatic look, looked in the direction of the copy room door, and said, "Guest, move slowly!"

"..."

Xia Duo's forehead jumped, and he left without saying anything else.

He almost believed the news. It seemed that Edrich would tell every guest, so what was he trying to do?

A big question mark flashed through Xia Duo's mind. However, it was no longer time to consider this issue. Xia Duo quickly returned to the dormitory floor and began to organize personal combat items.

You must bring a hand crossbow and arrows, and don't forget the self-defense weapon. As for the one-handed sword, although it is a light weapon suitable for mages, it is only a relative term.

Xia Duo estimated that this one-handed sword weighed at least four or five kilograms. It was tiring to carry it, let alone fight with it. Besides, when it came time for him to fight with a sword, it didn't seem to make any difference whether he had a sword or not. .

In front of the orcs, what difference can there be between a one-handed sword and the iron dagger that Shado always carries?

Without much hesitation, Xia Duo chose to give up the one-handed sword. Considering that the time when the orc wave will end is unpredictable, school supplies must be brought.

You need to bring the written version of "The Biography of Archmage Dathriel", but you don't need a dictionary. You must bring magic lecture notes, spell notes, and study scrolls.

In addition, there are 3 scrolls of [Lighting Technique] that Xia Duo has not sold. I also bring them with me. Who knows if they will be used later, but they are not heavy anyway.

Afterwards there were candles, a change of clothes, an inkwell, a quill, and some scattered gold and silver coins.

After collecting everything, Xia Duo locked the door with a simple lock he bought before, and then left.

On the way to the hall, Xia Duo saw ordinary apprentices and formal apprentices, some with swords, but most of them gave up the burden of four or five kilograms like Xia Duo.

When we arrived at the hall, nearly a hundred people had gathered here. An official mage was standing on the outside of the crowd, near the entrance of the mage tower, waiting.

Sha Duo quickly searched for Sami and Devine in the crowd. If they wanted to unite, they might become good allies. Of course, the real situation may be that other formal apprentices didn't like Sha Duo at all.

It was not difficult to find two familiar people among nearly a hundred people. Xia Duo looked over one by one, but then his face darkened - Dean was staring at the fiery red hair, and four or five ordinary people had gathered around him. Apprenticeship.

He really didn't refuse anyone who came. Seeing that he seemed to want to continue to attract people, Sha Duo no longer cared about looking for Sami, and quickly pushed through the crowd and pushed towards Dean.
