Arcane Lord

It wasn't until nearly noon that the team of Xia Duo and others were fully replenished. Of course, during this period, they also tried to contact the high-level mages they knew.

Although it is not possible to form a team, there will definitely be cooperation from multiple high-level mages during the mission. Say hello in advance so that we can deal with them more conveniently in the future.

At noon, Xia Duo rarely prepared lunch by himself, but went directly to the camp to enjoy the on-site lunch prepared by the camp with his team members.

It’s not a rich experience, but the atmosphere is lively. It can be considered the team’s first run-in.

However, just after lunch, Archmage Fulstrom, who had not shown up for several days, appeared again, and brought a piece of news that was somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable -

"High-level mage, follow me, the others will have other plans later!"

…

We came to the jungle clearing where we first trained again, but at this time, the ground here was covered with a layer of flat stone slabs.

Not far away, there was a team of black-robed mages who were clearing and leveling more open spaces.

Xia Duo stomped the stone slab under his feet a little harder, and the stone slab immediately shattered into several pieces with a click. It looked like it was a thin stone slab shaped by magic.

It seems that the preparations of the Seven Towers are somewhat insufficient!

At this moment, Niya suddenly touched the back of his hand with her hand and whispered: "There are nearly a hundred high-level mages here!"

Um?

Xia Duo didn't pay attention to this just now. After hearing Niya's reminder, he turned around and looked around a few times. Sure enough, there were a lot of people, but Niya still said it was a little worse. What he saw was 105!

Although he had long known that the Seven Towers had a profound foundation, he was still a little shocked when he saw so many high-level mages standing here.

There are only three high-level mages in the Tower of Time. Although they are all arcane masters, the Seven Towers casually mobilized more than 100.

There might be a lot of arcanists here too!

"The development of the Tower of Time really has a long way to go!"

At the same time, Xia Duo also realized that if he wanted to overtake others in a corner, the work of popularizing magic education must continue unswervingly.

Taking his own example, it takes almost seven or eight years to train an arcanist, nearly ten years (including the time in the projection plane and various convenient conditions).

How many years would it take to train 100 high-level mages if we only relied on the geniuses who came to our door and inefficient teaching by masters and apprentices?

It must be trained in an academic manner, and it is also mandatory for all citizens of appropriate age to receive magic education!

In this case, population became a very critical resource. For a while, Xia Duo's mind was already far away, thinking about how to obtain more development population.

Of course, while he was thinking, he was also listening to Fulstem describing the key points of joint casting. Although he had heard him speak before, he still had a different understanding and gain after listening to him again.

It's a pity that Furstrum may be really busy. Don't talk for two days this time. He only talked for a while and then someone replaced him. He was not Turner, but he was also a quite rigid and mechanical battle mage.

…

On the other side, Vincent and others were taken to the west of the portal, to an open space near the river. Hundreds of people gathered here, and a battle mage also began to teach them according to the contents of the training manual.

Such days continued until ten days later.

On this day, Xia Duo and other high-level mages were working in groups for a multi-person joint exercise. Fulstem, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared again, "Stop! Go back now and take your team members for final coordination. The operation will start in three days!" "

Hearing this time, all the high-level mages breathed a sigh of relief. They had been here for so long and had not heard any specific details about the operation, which would make anyone uneasy.

Although I still don’t know yet, I have determined that the action will take place in three days. Everything will be clear in three days.

However, while they breathed a sigh of relief, everyone also truly felt the tense atmosphere before the war. There was no discussion, no complaints, and even very few words.

Everyone did not dare to delay, and immediately returned to the camp, found their team members, and began to find a place for training.

…

After nearly a month of continuous efforts by the construction mages, the current camp is several times larger than when Sha Duo first came here.

Although most of them just removed the trees, leveled the land, and laid stone slabs, compared with the previous situation where there were still trees near the temporary residence, it was much better.

Xia Duo led his team and found an open space within the camp's warning magic range, and then asked Vincent and others about their progress in the past ten days:

"How is your cooperation going? Have you practiced all the spells in the Resonance Spell Book?"

"The cooperation is pretty good. I haven't made any mistakes in the recent joint castings. I have practiced all the spells in the spell book except the two equivalent 9-level spells."

Perhaps because of the first-come-first-served training, Vincent and another pioneer Granas actually became the vice-captains under Niya and Shado.

Some time ago, Vincent had been doing the training plan for the ten of them.

However, Niya has been busy memorizing, familiarizing and practicing the steps of the equivalent 9-level spells in the spell book these days, while Xia Duo is busy with the level-up work of [Mage Armor], and has not paid attention to the training of others. plan.

Hearing that their training had been quite effective, Sha Duo couldn't help but glance at Niya, feeling a little worried. Perhaps Niya had fallen behind these mid-level mages in terms of joint spell-casting experience equivalent to 8-level spells. .

However, thinking about other high-level mages who had not had much time to familiarize themselves with the operation steps of those equivalent to 8-level spells in the past ten days, and Niya still had herself, Sha Duo suddenly felt relieved.

"Practice them all first and let me see the effect!"

Sha Duo took out his spell book and motioned for Niya to join in the joint casting of spells. When everyone else was ready, he immediately issued the command:

"Protection-2-1"

Xia Duo was the first to activate the guidance link of this spell, and then, as if counting the numbers, others took over in turn.

Soon, the spell was successfully activated, but Shado noticed that Niya was lagging behind.

This is like being preempted by others when reporting the count. If the count is really reported, it will not affect the actual statistical results, but this is a joint cast.

If Niya's performance is unstable, it may disrupt subsequent operations that need to be performed simultaneously, which may lead to casting errors.

Even if spells are cast jointly through the Resonance Spell Book, the consequences of spell failure are minor, but in battle, even a slight mistake can lead to tragedy.

In the subsequent practice, although Niya made no real mistakes, her unstable performance continued until the end.

"Stop practicing now. I have a spell that can enhance the tacit understanding between us, but this spell is a spiritual spell. You decide whether to accept it or not!"
