Chapter 11 On the way
After the advice of the mysterious mage in the eyes of the soldiers and the command of the captain, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, thus avoiding a riot that might be about to occur.
The captain rushed back from the front team, solemnly thanked Shaoke for his help, and appointed his deputy to protect the mage with him, and then said goodbye to the front team to stabilize the morale of the army. Shaoke thought to himself: "It's still a lot of things that need to be a officials! Even officials of the lowest level, of course, the premise is a good official."
After a brief commotion, the team suddenly became much calmer. The soldiers whispered about what to eat for lunch, when to rest, whether the scouts in front had hunted enough prey, and from time to time when clearing the road, check whether there were traces of monsters left behind.
The old doctor began to scold his son over and over again, retrieving the responsibilities that a doctor should have, and severely scolded his son for not saving lives and helping the wounded in time. Even the young doctor repeated the words he was just saying, which had not happened before, and would not happen now, and what he said would not happen in the future. However, the old doctor would not let go of the wrong ideas that appeared in his son. He believed: "Everyone has the right to survive, and even criminals are no exception, let alone these soldiers. When people are attacked by wild animals and injured by the enemy, they should go to treat the wounded as quickly as possible." Shaoke and the two mages were also silent, listening quietly to the old doctor's constant nagging, it seemed that they would continue to nag for a long time.
Shaoko occasionally guides some things that the two new companions should pay attention to in the wild; "Master Yijia, don't always bow your head, as mages will never lower their heads, except when they die. If you encounter a monster or an enemy suddenly appears, can you discover the situation based on your perception?"
"Master Loki, you should observe the surrounding environment more carefully. If you accidentally get lost, you can still rush back with your memory. Moreover, when a mage casts spells against the enemy, you should pay attention to the surrounding environment and choose the right spell to fight the enemy. This is something the tutors have said more than once in the academy." After a brief pause, Shaoke thought for a while and said, "No, I saw that the big tree in front of me was not there. If the enemy was on that tree and hid behind the branches, what spell should you choose at this time?"
Master Kiya was stunned for a moment: "Fireball Technique" said, and looked at Xueye. "Fireball Technique? Poor Master Kiya, do you think you have become a junior mage? Can release this first-level spell?" Shaoko said with an unbearable expression, "Corrosion ball... Snow Night Mage" "Master Yijia, what's your choice?" Shaoko asked Master Yijia who was considering the eyebrows, "Mage Snow Night Mage, if the enemy is attacking a long-range, I will choose "Mistry Technique" to interfere with the opponent's sight. If it is a melee, I will use "Frozen Ray" to slow down the opponent's speed."
"Very good! Master Yijia, it seems that you can observe the environment and choose spells more carefully than Master Jiya for the time being. Don't be shy. This is the praise you deserve." Shaoke looked at Master Yijia, who said a few words and then lowered his head and said nothing, and felt helpless in his heart. Can such a person successfully aim at the enemy in the future? This is a question worth thinking about.
"Snow Night Mage, if you encounter this situation, what spell would you choose? If you can only use zero-level spells." After a little silent for a while, Mage Kia asked Shaoko back; "Well! I will choose 'plant entanglement'. Such an environment is very suitable for this spell. When the enemy is on the tree, it is easier to interfere with the enemy at the fastest speed. Then you choose the spell according to the situation, and finally choose the spell "Frozen Ray" spell. This will make the spell more frozen. Of course, you can also choose the spell that casts the fastest speed among the spells you know to attack the enemy."
Shaoke was confused for a while before he gave the answer. He remembered that it was his first time to perform a mission when he came here. Fei? The mage also asked him this way. Shaoke answered the spell "Lightning Ball". Then Fei? The mage told him, "If you know how to 'freeze rays', why not use him? His casting time is short and it will affect the opponent's speed. If he can 'plant entangle' the spell, no matter how many levels the opponent can level it, it will always make him break free from the spell and spend some time." Later, Shaoke worked harder to memorize and practiced as many level zero spells as possible in case of emergencies. I don't know where they are now and whether it will be smooth this time. What kind of arrangement will the emperor give them, and when they contacted them, they asked them to send a few books and spells. After all, the books of those merchants are too expensive and are not professional, and they do not have important information such as spells and spells.
At noon, after asking the mages about their opinions, the captain found a large open space to take a temporary rest and prepared lunch. Dozens of soldiers skillfully leveled the small open space and invited the mages to rest. With the mages' satisfied eyes, everyone began to get busy. After all, the environment here is like this, and the two new mages could not pick on the contributions of the flat land that these soldiers worked hard to sort out.
The scouts we mentioned earlier were lucky enough to kill a few ordinary tigers on the road, and this time they made them into lunch to satisfy the stomachs of the people. In addition to going out to these meat products, they also prepared several plates of wild vegetables for the mages, and put the newly-grilled bread slices brought by the morning to grill on the grill. After all, the mages they met rarely ate meat when they went out to Shaoke. These low-level soldiers did not want to cause unhappiness among the mages, even though most mages did not care about these things. Then, the small jars of butter, honey, and pine nuts increased.
Some of these foods are added. The soldiers' lunch is not so luxurious, but this is compared to the current environment. Moreover, large pieces of cooked rotten meat and a little wild vegetable broth are more suitable for their taste, and can provide sufficient energy to satisfy their consumption along the way and maintain sufficient physical strength to clear the road. As for wine, they are not yet able to drink it. After all, the team does not carry much wine, so it is impossible to indulge these soldiers who can drink it. Only when they go to bed at night will they pour a small cup of it. This is mainly used for cold protection at night.
The lunch was not so rich for the two new mages, but they also knew that in such an environment, there was no high demand for food. At least Shaoke felt good when eating wild vegetables dug out by everyone in the wild. Even after coming to this world, Shaoke could only eat wild vegetables when he was on a mission with the army. Generally, they were cooked cooking outside, and those dishes were not as crisp as the unique crispness of these wild vegetables.
Seeing Ega and Loki eating wild vegetables with a difficult expression, Shaoko couldn't help laughing, and broke the mages' habit of not talking when eating: "Two, there is nothing wrong with eating these wild vegetables. Chew them slowly. Their taste is much better than the vegetables grown. Don't rush to swallow them, otherwise you won't taste the unique crispness. Many merchants hired the villagers to pick these foods in large quantities, and the mercenaries around them complained quite a bit. Finally, they negotiated and resolved the conflict. Now, these things are forbidden to collect on a large scale. Staying here is for the mercenaries to add meals to those mercenaries to solve their hunger and thirst. After all, their growth rate is very slow in such a cold area."
For Shaoko's kind reminder, Master Yijia and Master Kiya expressed their due gratitude; "Thank you for your reminder; Master Xueye, but I think I will still feed on bread slices and broth in the future. At least it will not make my tongue chant spells quickly because of bitterness." Master Kiya frowned and swallowed the wild vegetables in his mouth, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and gave the other party his own answer. Master Yijia, who was beside him, nodded slightly and expressed that he agreed with Master Kiya's idea. However, Shaoko did not notice Master Yijia's actions. After giving up the idea of letting Master Kiya taste pollution-free vegetables, he kept inviting Master Yijia to taste these wild vegetables. Master Yijia could only swallow the food that was not so delicious to him again and again.
The lunch ended quickly under the smirking of Master Kia, and the situation of Master Yiga was slightly depressed. After everyone took a short rest, they started a new journey. The long animal leather boots creaked on the thick snow. The birds on the trees were startled from time to time. Occasionally, unlucky eggs were attacked by feces in the sky.
The atmosphere in the team was much more dull than in the morning. Doctor Ino obediently paid attention to the ground, hoping to find some medicinal materials to replenish his private wallet. However, it is too close to the town. The medicinal materials and wild animals in the forest are very rare due to the collection of villagers and the continuous hunting of mercenaries, so the team is still moving relatively fast.
Dr. Ino reminded the soldiers from time to time to pay attention to the wild vegetables that may appear around, and said that if there is a big gain, I will definitely invite everyone to drink the most expensive rum after I go back. The soldiers cheered: "Rum? Oh my God! The great Dr. Ino Swan wants us to drink rum. It's not a dream. You will only invite your father to drink rum. We? It's okay to invite each of us to have a large glass of high-quality soju. We won't fantasize about it." "No, I mean it this time." Dr. Ino secretly glanced at his father again and shouted loudly. "Come on, you have always said that. Since you came, you have never really fulfilled it."
In this way, the soldiers quarreled with Ino. Occasionally, Ino would go to Master Kia to say a few words, but under the gaze of the captain and his father, he quickly slipped among the soldiers again. But after a while, he went over to talk to Master Kia.
