Lord of Arcane

Chapter 53
The ordinary apprentices who were assigned to the western front also came, and brought their squads to surround the entire quarters.

Xia Duo chatted with Captain Jibu and the others, while waiting for the people in front to receive military supplies. From Captain Jibu, Xia Duo also learned that although a strong reinforcement came to the territory, it still needed a large number of soldiers.

Most of the original soldiers in the territory were transferred to the frontal battlefield, and even some of the armed forces recruited from various chambers of commerce were included.

But when he mentioned those chambers of commerce, Jibu had a resentful expression on his face, but he quickly hid it and changed the subject, "Mage Xado, what is the inside of the Mage Tower? I heard people say that food can be grown in it. Can you also grow food in the tower?"

cough--

If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't know Captain Jibu at all, Shado would have thought that the other party knew that he was working in the Arcane Garden, but the Mage Tower had regulations not to disclose the secrets of the Mage Tower at will.

It's just that what can be called a secret, it is difficult for Xia Duo to judge. He can only say nothing and change the subject: "Captain Jibu, have you never thought about becoming a mage?"

"Of course I thought about it!" Gibb recalled seeing the neighbor's children set fire to their fingers when he was a child, and sighed, "What if I just thought about it? My father is not in good health, and the family relies on my mother to wash other people's clothes. Clothes to support life, how can I put them down and enter the mage tower!"

"Master Xia Duo, don't ask the captain, he gave up for the family, but me, because there are several brothers in the family, and someone takes care of the family, I think about becoming a mage by my own efforts, who knows that even the entrance examination is not enough. did not pass!"

Jesse's words made everyone laugh out loud, and also dilute the dull atmosphere just now, Jerry hammered his brother's arm and scolded with a smile: "It's not because you are too stupid, if you let me go, maybe pass."

Xia Duo shook his head. With the size of the Jesse brothers, even if they became mages, it would make people feel strange. Such a strong body was born to be a warrior.

Chatting and chatting, everyone in the team also got to know a lot. The only exception is Aiwa. Since Xado joined the team until now, he has not said a word, which makes people wonder if he is dumb!

……

Soon the crowded crowd gradually dispersed, and Xia Duo and others also received their belongings from different quartermasters.

Except for Captain Gibb and Brother Jesse, who were originally soldiers, everyone else received a light leather armor, and even Shado received one.

As for weapons, they were standard standard spears, one-handed swords, bows and arrows. Except for Shado, everyone had a set, and the three of them also had a wooden shield covered with iron.

Of course, the core material of this battle is the magic scroll.

There are a total of four wooden scroll boxes, hanging on a belt. When handing over, Xia Duo carefully counted them. There are [Magic Weapon], [Bear's Endurance], [Cow's Brutality] and [Cat's Elegance] 】These four kinds of scrolls.

4 servings of each.

Although I always felt that only these scrolls were not enough, as long as I thought that the scrolls inside were worth nearly 2000 gold coins, Xia Duo could immediately understand why there were so few.

Nearly [-] apprentices have been recruited, how many scrolls will be issued!How much is that worth!
However, Xia Duo also felt that with the consistent style of the Mage Tower, it was impossible for everyone to issue 16 scrolls. Perhaps it was based on the combat intensity, or perhaps only formal apprentices could receive so many.

But no matter what, the weapons and equipment are all received, and it won't take too long to go to the battlefield!
……

Armed with their respective weapons and equipment, Jimmy led the crowd to their squad's camp and ate an army lunch by the way.

Bread, meat, lettuce leaves, except that there is no drink, Xia Duo feels that the food here is better than the Mage Tower, at least in terms of quantity.

The group just returned to the camp after dinner, and Xado was about to take time to learn the [Secret Mark], when Dean came to the door.

"Xia Duo, do you want to go shopping outside?"

"Can you leave the barracks now?"

"Of course." Dean just ran for a while and calmed down a little before saying, "I saw someone going out and coming back just now, so I'll come over and let you know right away."

"What do you want to go out and buy? Don't you have them in the camp?"

"This—" Dean scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I want to go home and have a look. I saw someone queuing in at the South Gate before, and I was a little worried about my family."

"..."

"Okay, I just want to go out too."

Shado thought about it and agreed, and he thought that the dwarf Blotto had promised him to help him hammer the iron dagger a few times, and he was about to fight the orcs.

However, Shado didn't really care about Dean's worries. If he was the lord, no matter what the reason was, he would bring all the apprentices' families to the town.

Lord Savile has a reputation for being good at governance, and these estimates have long been thought of.

Before leaving, Xado deliberately changed into a leather armor with a territorial emblem, and then went out with Dean. He just showed the guard the emblem he had issued before and left the camp smoothly.

"Xia Duo, thank you for coming out with me. You can go back as soon as you walk around. I'll go home."

"and many more."

Xia Duo quickly stopped Dean who was about to run to the house, "Does your family have any relatives in the town, go there first, maybe there will be surprises."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

……

Savile Town, South End, Brotto Smithy.

Perhaps because the adventurers were all recruited, the dwarf Blotto's blacksmith shop was quite leisurely now. After lunch, Blotto tapped a red-hot iron ingot with the wine.

He was quite satisfied with this kind of life, but somehow he always felt that something was missing and that he was not good enough.

After hammering hard twice, Blotto grabbed the wine bottle next to the anvil, and Gululu took a few sips. Only then did he lift his spirits a little and hit the iron ingot again.

"Uncle Blotto, long time no see, miss me?"

Huh?this sound?Blotto turned around immediately, so excited that even his beard braided into a small braid lifted, "Oh! The Holy Hammer is on top, look who's here! Shado! I thought you were sold by Old Neil. That's it!"

Hearing Old Neil's name, Xia Duo couldn't help bending the corner of his mouth, remembering the scene he just passed by the door of Old Neil's Hotel.

Because Xia Duo was wearing the leather armor of a territorial soldier, and deliberately made a green flame on his fingers, but it scared old Neil very much, and the expression was too wonderful.

Of course, this is not the end, but Xia Duo can only do so much right now.

Old Neil is not a simple person. I heard from Captain Gibb before that because many soldiers were recruited temporarily and there was a lack of meat, several hotels and butcher shops in the territory sent cheap meat, including the old one. Neil Hotel.

Looking at it this way, they have now become a military supplier. How dare Xia Duo take any action? He can only scare them off and collect some interest.
