Lord of Arcane

Chapter 51 Selected Task Areas
"In this case, Sammy, let's choose two adjacent mission areas and use [Communication] to contact them."

"no problem!"

Sammy agreed immediately. Supporting each other is the purpose of their cooperation. Although there have been some changes in the actual tasks, the tone of cooperation will not change.

"Look, someone has already started to choose the mission area." Devine suddenly pointed to several of the apprentices, who were already moving to the location of the golden-robed mage.

"We also have to hurry." Xia Duo looked at the other three, "Do you know the situation in the Green Pearl Forest? Where is the best choice?"

He is a native of the earth, and he has been in Savile Town for less than a year. He only knows the name of the Green Pearl Forest and the gossip that is difficult to distinguish between true and false from the mouths of adventurers.

"this--"

Sammy and the others look at me, I look at you, but no one can tell the specific information of the Green Pearl Forest.

"Shado, I haven't been out of town since I was a child!" Sammy said.

Immediately afterwards, Devine also said, "Me too."

"Dean—"

The three looked at Dean at the same time.

Dean shook his head quickly, "My home is not bad outside the town, but it's in the west of the town, and it's a long walk across the Wolfsburg River, and before joining the Mage Tower, I didn't leave the village, not even Green Pearl. I haven't heard the name "Forest" a few times."

"Ugh--"

In this way, Xado, an outsider who knows the most information, has been in the southern district where adventurers gather for more than half a year!

And the place where adventurers go to work is largely the Green Pearl Forest.

But how much of that information was boasted by adventurers who drank too much, or just deliberately leaked some true and false information to cover up their real activity area.

Xia Duo did not mention these experiences of his own, so as not to make them misjudge the danger of the mission, "Don't think about it for now, let's choose the mission area as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

As the four of Xia Duo moved, more and more people began to squeeze towards the mage. The golden-robed mage frowned, waved his short staff, and a gust of wind appeared out of thin air, calming the surging crowd instantly.

"Official apprentices are selected first!"

Master Jinpao casually ordered a formal apprentice who had just rushed in front, "Start with him and line up in order!"

After the crowd rioted for a while, several neat queues soon formed, starting from the previous apprentice, and went forward to choose.

"I choose area 25."

"I also choose area 25."

"number 26."

"number 26."

……

When the team was assembled, a small group was formed, and the formal apprentices selected first almost invariably began to select from the middle area. These areas are moderate in size and the number of orcs they may encounter is moderate.

Coupled with the possible cooperation agreement between them, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best position.

Dangbu Forest has the lowest chance of encountering orcs, but these areas are also the largest in scope. If they encounter orcs and cannot defeat them, they may not be able to wait for support.

However, many apprentices are quite familiar with the Green Pearl Forest, so they directly choose the areas they are familiar with, and these areas are often the easternmost.

Maybe they are confident enough to clean such a large area, or maybe they know that there are fewer orcs fleeing in those areas, which is within their range.

In short, everyone has their own plans. When it was Shado's turn, he had already discussed with Sammy and others. He and Dean chose area 12, and Sammy and Devine chose area 13.

They were all very unfamiliar with the Green Pearl Forest, so they simply chose one that was convenient for each other to support each other. Of course, the westernmost area near the Wolfsburg River could not be chosen.

The average orcs are not very intelligent, and it is most likely to come along the river. If you really want to rush there, you will be causing trouble for yourself.

Xia Duo counted them carefully. There are a total of 61 formal apprentices. After they have selected them, the remaining areas that they think are not good will be reserved for ordinary apprentices.

In this regard, Master Jinpao did not say anything. After all, it was he who asked the formal apprentice to choose first.

After everyone had chosen, the golden-robed mage put away the light and shadow map and pointed to the stone building next to the training ground, "Come in with me!"

Perhaps the influence of the gust of wind just now still exists, this time the apprentices did not swarm, but the formal apprentices were in front, and the ordinary apprentices followed.

The interior of the stone building seems to have been repaired and organized. Now it is an office-like place. There is a huge desk in the center. There are stacks of documents and some incomprehensible equipment.

Seven formal mages dressed in exquisite robes were surrounding the desk, checking the documents at hand, and from time to time they also recorded a sentence with a pen.

To the apprentices who have not yet come in, he said: "Choose areas 1 to 10 to come here, and others will go to other mages according to their own choices."

After speaking, he took out a small gray cloth bag from the golden silk robe, and poured the bottom of the cloth bag onto the desk——

wow——

A pile of metal badges not much larger than gold coins fell out of the gray cloth bag, knocking over the documents piled on the desk.

"Horst, Prest." The golden-robed mage looked at the two formal mages opposite, "You guys should start too, hurry up."

"Okay." A mage replied immediately, "Choose the 11th to 25th to come to me, and the rest go to the Prest mage."

Hearing the order, all the apprentices acted in response, and soon the office, which seemed to be empty, was filled to the brim.

……

Shado followed Dean to the side of Master Horst, but there were already a lot of people in front of him.

Master Horst took a metal badge from his desk, looked at the apprentice closest to him, and asked, "What number did you choose?"

"Number 17." The apprentice replied immediately.

As a result, Shado saw Master Horst stretched out his hand and wiped it from the back of the badge. A faint light flashed, and a portrait with only the upper body appeared on the back of the badge.

Master Horst handed the badge to the apprentice, and at the same time ordered: "Go to the No. 2 training ground to find your team, the team leader at the back will tell you, go out."

The apprentice hurriedly took the badge and squeezed out of the crowd.

Then, one by one, the apprentices collected their badges and left.

Soon, Xia Duo also received his own badge. After leaving the stone building, he followed the crowd to the No. 2 training ground and carefully checked the badge, which was big enough to hold in the palm of his hand.

There is nothing unusual about the front. It is the image of a mage tower standing on a book. Shado has seen it many times in Savile Land. This is the emblem of the Savile family.

The figure on the back was what he cared about—

At first glance, it is indeed the image of Xia Duo, and no flaws can be seen, but if you look closely, this figure is composed of countless numbers "12" in Nise.
