Lord of Arcane

Chapter 129 Territorial Mission
Of course, this is not scolding De Parker, but scolding the rules of the mage tower. The lord's consent is required to increase the authority of the apprentice-type official mage, and even if he agrees, he still has to make up for the lack of territorial tasks before.

And Xia Duo is still worried about a problem, that is, whether he can increase his authority first and then make up for the task like Adrian did.He doesn't have the background of Adrian. If the number of missions is insufficient, he can't upgrade his authority, that's a scam!
If you increase the management authority, you can immediately increase it now, but the management authority must be related to the general affairs, which is a waste of time.

This kind of authority is actually more similar to the authority of external personnel. While it is relatively loose, the knowledge that can be accessed must be discounted, which is not in line with Xia Duo's expectations.

If you want to mix in the mage tower, you must become a core member and get in touch with core secrets.If you don't become a great mage or a legend, it's the same everywhere. It's better to continue working in a relatively familiar environment.

After leaving the assessment room, Xia Duo went directly to the task management office on the public floor. He didn't take it seriously because he didn't understand enough about task management.

Up to now, he only went in to see it once when he first joined the Mage Tower, and he hasn't visited it once since then. Thinking about it now, he really regrets it.

Coming to the task management office, the scene here is quite "sci-fi"-two huge transparent glass sheets are pasted on the left and right walls of the entrance door.

Text messages flashed on it from time to time, and it looked very similar to the LCD TV wall on the earth, but judging from the magical aura it revealed, it was obviously a masterpiece of magic.

But corresponding to such a "sci-fi" scene, in the innermost part of the entrance, behind the long office desk, the on-duty mages and apprentices have not realized the paperless office on earth, and still use ink pens to register and record on parchment.

The stark contrast between the two different scenes in the same room made Xia Duo feel quite inconsistent.

……

The left and right information screens displayed the same information, and Xia Duo went directly to the left side. The task list was from top to bottom, and there were various tasks.

He first omitted tasks that required a long-term stay outside, such as the military camp garrison mission, which required staying in the military camp for a long time, as well as patrol missions, patrolling sub-townships, and patrolling territories outside the town.

They are all tasks with low cost performance.

Xia Duo focuses on "cost-effective" tasks with a time period, high income, and low difficulty. Of course, this kind of task may not be his turn. Many apprentices who want to become official mages are staring at them!
——【The temple recruits a number of apprentices, and teaches believers Nai color script, which is effective for a long time and rich in rewards. 】

"Huh——" Xia Duo's eyes stopped on this temple mission. It must be true that the mission can be sent to the mage's tower, and the generous reward also stimulates Xia Duo.

For the so-called one-year territorial mission, the most critical criterion is not the time, but the remuneration, otherwise, it would be fine to take over all the missions of foreign workers!

The task of the temple is to teach ordinary people to read, which is not difficult to understand. Only by reading can one interpret the classics, and Xia Duo even knows what is the first classic that ordinary people come into contact with. Isn’t it the "Sacred Proverbs of the Lord of Radiance"? !

Xia Duo has a self-made dictionary, and he believes that he will definitely be able to overfulfill the task, but he dare not, if it was before Devine became a believer, he would still be interested.

But Devine suddenly became a devout believer, which made Xia Duo hesitate, wondering if the change was due to accepting this task.

Sammy seemed to know the inside story, but when asked, he was also ambiguous, and Xia Duo didn't dare to make fun of himself.

It is a pity that I skipped the mission of the temple, and there is another mission with a decent reward——

——[The town hall recruits mage apprentices, 2. They need to be proficient in detecting poison, communication, and arcane imprints, etc. Those with certain investigative experience are preferred. The mission lasts for one week, and the reward is 20 gold coins per person. 】

It seems that the salary is very low, but compared to the apprentice who only has 1 silver coin per day in the Mage Tower, it is already many times better, and according to Xia Duo's speculation, it should be enough to cast a few 0-level spells every day.

This is just right for him!With his current proficiency in casting spells within a rest period, it should not be too easy to complete this task, and besides this task, he can also accept other tasks.

"Hello."

Xia Duo immediately came to the long office desk and casually found an apprentice on duty, "I want to accept task No. 032."

The apprentice on duty first rummaged through the table, then asked the apprentice next to him, and then told Xia Duo, "Mission 032, the quota is full, please pay attention to the next round."

"..."

Xia Duo was very angry, and the real-time performance of the information display was too poor, but there was a mage on duty next to him, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to go to the display to choose again.

——[The Mage Tower Mission Management Office recruits 2 mage apprentices. They must be serious and cautious. The task time is one week and the reward is 10 gold coins. 】

It was twice the difference from the outside, so Xia Duo skipped it directly.

——[The town office recruits a mage apprentice, 1 person, to clean up the goblins in Hexi Village and investigate the cause, priority is given to those who have participated in the orc war mission, the time is not limited, and the reward is 20 gold coins. 】

"This is good!"

This kind of task must be coordinated by the soldiers of the territory, and the time is not limited, which means that even if it is completed within one day, the reward is still 1 gold coins.

Properly cost-effective.

As for having participated in the orc war mission, this is simply nonsense. Those who can take the mission are formal apprentices, and almost all formal apprentices have been recruited.

Xia Duo immediately came to the long office desk, still the apprentice on duty, "I want to accept task No. 054."

After searching and asking again, the apprentice on duty asked, "Mission No. 054 is available, do you want to accept the mission now?"

"Yes, now!"

"Okay, I'll handle it for you right away."

The apprentice on duty immediately called Ta Ling to inquire about Xia Duo's identity. After confirming that the name was correct, he recorded it on the mission parchment and handed it over to the official mage for filing.

Afterwards, he handed over a mission voucher to Xia Duo, "Apprentice Xia Duo, you have accepted mission No. 054, please report to the town office as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Xia Duo was a little reconciled to only accepting one mission, but looking carefully at the mission information screen, there were almost no more cost-effective missions that did not conflict with his current mission.

Xia Duo was a little disappointed. If he wanted to do this, he might really have to do a one-year task!
……

Outside the mage tower.

Xia Duo stood for a moment, soothing the nausea brought by the special portal, and feeling the breath of spring at the same time.

On the roof not far away, there were only palm-sized diehards left in the snow. Although the wind still carried the last trace of chill, it was much softer than when I left the tower last time.

After rubbing his dull chest, feeling the nausea dissipated a lot, Xia Duo walked to the town hall at the north end of the central square.

There are very few pedestrians in the section of the mage tower, and the central square is very spacious. Xia Duo arrived in front of the town hall almost without a slight delay in his speed.

　The high fever persists, and I went to the hospital to hang the water today, and I will add another one tomorrow.

thanks for your support! !
