Chapter 13 Preparation
Shaoke and the mages entered the tent that had just been built at the invitation of the captain and expressed their gratitude for this. Since it was still the construction period of the camp and the help of the mages did not need, the mages stayed in the tent and began to rest, and restored the mental and magic power consumed by the magic circle just drawn. The soldiers were busy until they built enough tents to be used for the time being. The subsequent construction work was not so important. They mainly leveled the land, eliminated the snow, and dug a few more large fire pits for daily life.
In the forest, the night seemed to be much earlier than outside. Under the leadership of the captain, the soldiers finally built enough tents when it was just dark, and then began to prepare food for the evening. More than a dozen bonfires were lit in the open space around the camp. The soldiers gathered around the fire to make broth, roast meat slices, braised with cowhides, and laughed loudly, bringing a lively place that was not here to the slightly calming night.
Perhaps it was the illumination of fire and the buzzing sounds of people. There were no sounds of beast roars around, and some birds were not flying up and down, adding a sense of excitement out of thin air.
Shaoke and his tent were surrounded by the tents of the crowd, which gave the mages a lot of rest in the wild. The fire pit in the tent was also lit by the soldiers, and several thicker wooden stakes covered with animal skin were placed on the ground to serve as temporary desks for the mages to use.
Shaoke took out a few smokeless candles from the bag he carried and placed them on the wooden stake. He was preparing to use it while reading a book. After meditating around the fire pit for a while, the three of them began to summarize the experience of drawing the magic circle just now. Master Yijia and Master Kiya were also lying on the wooden stakes, using a quill inlaid with silver pen tips, constantly recording the first practical field spell casting process. Although only a few zero-level spells were arranged, the significance of this for the two mages was very important.
This is different from the spell experiments on weekdays. If the casting is successful in the wild for the first time, it will be a largely the confidence of the caster. If the caster is unable to adapt to the outside casting environment for the first time and cannot release the spell accurately, it will make the mage feel very frustrated. In the future, he will always be unable to let go of his hands and feet when casting, which will greatly reduce the success rate of the spell. However, as the number of casting increases, it may slowly recover, but this requires the guidance and encouragement of advanced mages.
Shaoke did not record the casting process this time like the other two mages. The main reason is that the magic circle has been thoroughly understood, and this time the casting did not bring him new insights. When the two mages recorded, he took out his sky-blue cover diary book and started writing the log. The mages did not write much logs. One was that they thought it was not necessary, and the other was that this would waste some of their time. The last reason was that the mages would not leave their residence and travel outside. Even if there were, they would not last for a long time and distance. Most of their lives were quite monotonous, so there was no need.
Only those mages who like to travel will specifically record some experiences during the journey, but most people still record them on their own casting records and will not write a log specifically. However, Shaoke made special records according to the habits of his previous life, which may also include some evil things. He hopes that after his death, his logs will be discovered and studied, and in order to discover information such as treasures. For this reason, when Shaoke recorded, he used the general magic language of the mainland, and wrote them with special ink that can be preserved for a long time. He did not seem to care so much about the exposure of secrets.
When Shaoko's diary was finished, the soldiers outside completed the construction of the camp. Then, Shaoko took a book and read it with a candle, because it was not the time to meditate, and the soldiers would deliver today's dinner at any time.
After a magical time, the two mages finally recorded the experience of casting this spell in an excited mood. Master Kiya gently closed his mage record manual, looked at Master Yijia who was still writing, and then quietly thanked Shaoko: "Master Xueye, thank you for your encouragement. If it weren't for your care, Master Yijia and I might not have been able to successfully draw this warning array this time." "Don't worry about anything, Master Kiya, did I say that I must fulfill my responsibility for your help, and in the future you will also want to help later mages like this." Shaoko closed the book in his hand and said with a serious look.
Shaoko and Master Kiya talked about some of the insights and experiences of drawing the magic circles in front of him, and then the casting record of Master Yijia was written, so he joined the discussion, but he still had so little words. Looking at Master Yijia who carefully closed his record manual, Shaoko wanted to laugh involuntarily, "The mages in this world worship magic is really amazing."
Just as Shaoko was answering some questions about the formation of the two companions, the captain asked outside the tent whether to start eating now. Shaoko touched his stomach and thought that eating now would not affect anything. So after asking the two companions about their opinions, he asked the soldiers to bring the dinner in; a plate of meat slices, more than a dozen slices of oat bread, a small jar of oil, and a small bucket of clear water were sent in by the soldiers. Shaoko thanked the soldiers for their hard work, so he invited the companions to enjoy this not-so-sourcing dinner. However, after more than ten days of camping in the wild, Master Kia and Master Iga got used to such food. After all, the environment was different, and the mages rarely had too high requirements for food.
The dinner began with the ancient etiquette that the mages followed. Shaoko just took two slices of bread, applied oil, and then put a few slices of meat, and ended his dinner with clear water. Perhaps because of his excitement today, Master Kia and Master Iga ate a lot more than before. A plate of meat slices were cleaned up. Finally, at Master Kia's suggestion, everyone drank another glass of fennel wine, which made the soldiers pull off the tableware and end the dinner.
Master Kia said in an uncontrollable tone of excitement: "We should really ask them to prepare a few glasses of wine, we should celebrate it well." "Well! We can actually drink a small amount of red wine."
Master Yijia, who was a little cheerful due to drinking, couldn't help but speak out: "But will this affect tomorrow's affairs? After all, we can't drink too much."
Seeing that the two mages were in high spirits, Shaoke didn't want to suppress their thoughts. Anyway, drinking some red wine would not affect their spirits, so he spoke, "Okay! Companies, prepare your wine glasses, I'm asking them to send a small bucket of red wine." "Master Snow Night, can you ask some snow wine? That taste is much better than the red wine here!" Master Kiya made his suggestion a little embarrassedly. "Well! OK, the red wine here is not as good as the big city, so it's still a snow wine shop, after all, it's a real top-quality original product."
When Shaoko and his friends finished drinking a small bucket of snow wine, the soldiers who were still busy outside also began to rest, and the mages were busy with their own affairs. After reading the book for a while, Shaoko proposed to start meditation. After all, they did not want to interfere with each other's meditation, which would make the efficiency too low. Moreover, if they meditate together, the level of the magic elements is much more lively than when they were alone, and the mages can absorb these magic elements more easily than before.
Because of the actual missions in the wild, Shaoke rarely conducts deep meditation based on Fei Mages' experience. Most of the time they maintain the shallow meditation time between two magical time and three magical time, and then they will rest to maintain sufficient physical strength to start tomorrow's itinerary, and today will be no exception, because tomorrow they will officially look for those low-level monsters and hunt them.
The mages who had nothing to say all night and had rested got up early as usual. After Shaoke reviewed the spells recorded in the magic book, he called two companions to check the warning array arranged yesterday. The array was not damaged, but the energy was a bit insufficient. Shaoke and the other two mages added sufficient magic powder to the array.
At this time, the simple breakfast was also sent to the priests' tent by the soldiers. Shaoke just ate a piece of bread casually and drank some broth, and stopped to wait for the end of the two companions. After all, there was no hot milk in such an environment. Even in the town, Shaoke rarely drank hot milk. After eating slices of bread for such a long time, Shaoke's appetite had already been reduced by half. Fortunately, Shaoke was afraid that his body distance, which was already thin, would continue to weaken, so he had to eat more meat products, and finally did not make his body too thin.
While waiting for the two mages to have dinner, Shaoke found that the two mages had a much lower speed than before. He thought about it and knew what was going on, but he did not comfort them, because Shaoke really didn't have the interest to always nag at them. "Wait, it's fine if I say it now, it probably won't have any big effect. It doesn't matter when I get to the head of things." Shaoke really wants to quickly get promoted to the magician level and leave here, at least he doesn't have to worry about the psychological state of these rookies. "I'm not a psychotherapist. When I was waiting for the first actual combat, I was only excited and excited, but I was not as timid as you."
No matter what Shaoke thought, even if the mages delayed breakfast, they would have finished their meals. When they were full, Shaoke saw that they had finally finished the slow wiping of the morning, and after stroking the ordinary staff in his hand, he said, "It's time for us to set off. The soldiers are probably ready, so you can prepare it too."
