Chapter 264 The Trial of the Young Generation
After the end, the mage leaned casually on the stool on the bed and quietly wrote books. At this time, the crystal ball floating on the short bracket flashed rapidly. This rapid flash was the first time that Shaoke had seen this rapid flash, and he also understood what such rapid flash represented. After realizing this situation, the mage suddenly put away the books, and then carried the staff to the crystal ball to observe.
A small team dressed in a mercenary appearance appeared in the mage's crystal ball, and the lowest level was a fourth-level warrior. Shaoke quickly made a judgment because according to his warning array setting outside, if someone above a certain energy approached, the crystal ball would make such a rapid flash. At this time, the mercenary team in the crystal ball temporarily stopped because when the warning array was touched, someone in the team had already noticed the existence of the magic array.
"Get out of here." After quickly pronounced a few syllables, the mage started a conversation with the intruders a few miles away through the crystal ball. "You have entered the territory of a mage. Don't talk to me about your purpose of coming here. Go around this direction and continue your progress, otherwise you will face the anger of a mage." As he said this, Shaoko stared at the crystal ball tightly and carefully observed the situation of the mercenary team.
Through the crystal ball, the mercenaries quickly retreated outside after a very brief pause. Seeing this situation, Shaoke returned to the bed to do his work. But at this time he couldn't read it with peace of mind, because there had never been mercenaries so recklessly before, because those mercenaries were entering this area and were warned by the residents. But today the abnormal arrival of this mercenary made the mage realize that something was wrong.
Since the mercenary team left here, within just three days, about five more mercenary teams have rashly entered Shaoko's territory. All of this made the mage very angry. Therefore, when warning the intruders, the mage's tone became increasingly severe. "Leave here alive or stay here forever." This is Shaoko's warning to an intruder just now.
After the mercenary team left, Shaoke was somewhat distressed to replenish the energy of the magic circle outside, and then planned to go to the town to check the situation. At this time, the legion that had been performing the task of guarding the town led two soldiers to the mage. "Dear Master Di, there were many mercenaries coming to the town, and they did not listen to our advice at all this time." The low-level legion nervously revealed the information here. Then he peeked at the mage who was detecting the magic circle from time to time.
"Do you know the purpose of their coming here?" Shaoke casually glanced at the mage, and the other party replied nervously: "I heard that they came this time to detect some terrain, because they were performing a public mission issued by Xuefu City. As for the specific reason, the mercenaries did not understand."
"Tell the mercenaries in the town that if they step into my territory, death will be their only destination." Shaoke casually added high-level crystal powder to a magic circle, and then tightened his cloak and headed towards his hut. "This is not the place they can enter."
The mage's words were different from the past, which made the officers on the side feel a little cold. After all, it was the first time he saw a mage speaking in such a somewhat gloomy tone in more than ten years. Then the officer nodded and agreed, and led the two soldiers to quickly move up the town, because he didn't want an unexpected situation because the mercenaries rashly disturbed the mage. After all, he had learned some of the identities of the mage in front of him through the Blizzard Merchant, which belongs to the Blizzard Legion.
Perhaps it was because the officer's warning played a role, and for nearly half a month, the mercenaries who had been gathering in the town never reached the territory designated by Shaoke. Of course, this territory still included the hill behind him. However, whether there were any mercenaries secretly reaching the hill from other directions was not known to Shaoke.
After quietly recording the reactions of the materials in front of him, Shaoko planned to return to the mountain laboratory again. Where he had to spend a long time again to conduct spell knowledge research. Just when the mage left, two strange guests disturbed him.
Looking at the figures of the two mages displayed in the crystal ball, Shaoke took the staff with an ugly face and left his hut. Then he walked straight towards the location where the two mages were. But at this time he released all his mental power. He locked the two mages tightly without any concealment. For Shaoke's warning, the two visitors did not take any protective measures. They were still standing there quietly waiting for the host here to arrive.
"This mage. We are the mages of Xuefucheng. This time it has disturbed your life. We are very sorry." One person saw
The young man's land mage first saluted and apologized. He looked at some land mages and did the same thing.
Faced with this situation, Shaoke just nodded lightly and said nothing. However, he then performed etiquette to the two seventh-level mages in front of him according to the proper etiquette. Then he asked them about their purpose. Because the mage did not think that the two seventh-level mages came here to simply apologize to him. He believed that the other party would definitely have something to ask for his help or to do it in his territory. Following the rules of the ancient mage, Shaoke first asked about the other party's purpose.
After seeing that the mage in front of me was following the rules of the ancient magic era, the middle-aged mage relaxed a little, because this means that they could talk to the mage in front of me or seek some help from the other party. "This mage, this time we came here to seek some help from you." He said here. The middle-aged mage paused for a moment and expressed his intention.
It turned out that Xuefucheng gathered all the students in the academy this time to conduct a field exploration life in the Mist Forest. This was the first time that Xuefucheng tried this kind of thing, so they were not allowed to send a large number of mercenaries to the long border line to detect the specific situation, so as to facilitate Xuefucheng to carry out subsequent actions.
"This mage, we hope that if there are students from Xuefu City who are doing outdoor activities here, you will be able to give them some help." After waiting for the mage in front of you nervously, he thanked the other party, and then took out a thick book from a small magic bag and said, "Can we store a book in you? After passing by the students here, if you can get your approval, you can deliver this book to him."
After hearing the seventh-level mage in front of him, Shaoke was silent for a long time and asked, "When will they arrive here? If time allows, I will promise you." After saying that, he gave a courtesy to the mage, he stood quietly and waited for the other party's answer.
"When this year's snowstorm comes, they should have arrived here." The middle-aged mage thanked him for giving a ritual to Shaoke, and then handed the thick book wrapped in copper in his hand to Shaoke. "This book records all the academies in Xuefu City, and there is also a detailed introduction."
After a simple detection spell tested the safety of the book in front of him, Shaoko tried hard to pull the corner of his mouth at the mage, and then took the book and stopped talking. This was mainly because he did not want to invite the two mages in front of him to his residence, because he was not very familiar with some of the situation in Xuefu City.
In view of this situation, the two seventh-level mages performed the etiquette of the ancient magic era and said goodbye to Shaoke, because there were still many important things waiting for them to do. Looking at the figures of the two mages leaving, Shaoke just sighed helplessly. He admired the two busy mages because few high-level mages would talk like this to a low-level mage. After no longer feeling the mental fluctuations of the two mages, Shaoke leaned on the tree pole beside him and silently stroked the book. Finally, after a little check, he was still in a magic bag on his waist.
For a rigorous mage who follows some rules of ancient mages, time is the most precious thing. Because they always have a lot of things to do, and sleep has become some of the extravagant behaviors of these mages.
When the blizzard fell again, Shaoke also returned to the wooden house from the laboratory on the mountain. After briefly reading the diary, Shaoke realized that he had been in this small town for almost twenty years. Thinking of this, the mage sighed in a low voice. Twenty years have passed, and even with the help of the silver light, he no longer has the ability to further advance to the seventh-level mage.
But based on his years of experience, he judged that if everything goes well, he will be able to be promoted to a seventh-level mage within twenty years.
Twenty years may be enough for ordinary people to start a family and raise children, but for a mage or other profession, this is just a short memory in their lives.
As the day when the cold wind came, a small team came to the small town where Shaoke's hometown was located. After a little rest in the town and inquire about some information, the team continued to move towards the Mist Forest, which was only seven or eight days away, where they had to collect some sufficient materials and obtain some items stored by the advanced mages, so that they could prove that they had reached the Mist Forest.
