Wizard Bloodline

When Ronan was sizing up young Linus, the other man was also sizing him up, but he only glanced at him casually and then looked away.

Ronan felt that this guy seemed to look down on their group.

But if you think about it from his perspective, as a fifth-level apprentice, it seems quite embarrassing to hang out with a group of low-level wizards who are second, third, or even first level.

Linus probably didn't take a closer look at his own strength and thought he was level four.

Maybe it was because he had just made a breakthrough and his fluctuating mental power had not yet completely stabilized.

"Everyone is almost here. Only brother and sister Andre and Nicole didn't come.

As half-elves, they are not used to having too much contact with people. Please understand.

I will convey the content to them after the meeting.”

Old Wells glanced at the young Linus and emphasized: "Andre and Nicole are both third-level apprentices, and they have very rich experience in forest reconnaissance and hunting, which is very helpful to us. .”

After young Linus heard the words half-elf and reconnaissance and hunting experience, his originally frowning brows obviously relaxed.

Ronan was surprised. He didn't expect Old Wells to even involve the half-elf brother and sister.

Andre, Nicole, he still just knew the names of the half-elf brother and sister.

"Then let's officially start."

Old Wells straightened his clothes, looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The news of the invasion of the Black Witch Land has basically been confirmed. Everyone gathers here to live a good life.

Based on my experience, there should be a long buffering period from the time the dispute is initiated to the official start of the invasion."

Old Wells returned to his temporary stay in the forest as he had done at the last rally, and waited until the crisis really began before seeking refuge in the town, trying to escape the increasingly crazy price increases in the town and rob everyone of their hard-earned financial resources. I said it again using the theory of maximization as much as possible.

He also added several benefits of living in the forest, such as not having to worry about food, and being able to avoid the internal conflicts and disputes that constantly break out in wizard gathering places.

In the end, Old Wells said: "... Of course, temporary living in treehouse areas also involves certain risks, which requires all of us to actively cooperate and help each other.

I think as long as you are vigilant enough, aware of danger in advance and evacuate in time, there won’t be any big problems.”

"My suggestion is to divide a fixed area where everyone is present and arrange for patrols every day. Once something happens, timely rescue and early warning can be provided."

Old Wells took out a stack of parchment from his arms and distributed it to everyone.

"I have connected everyone's residences and made a patrol route map. Please take a look and put forward any opinions.

If anyone else joins in the future, I will make changes in time. "

Everyone looked down at the map in their hands.

Ronan took a look and found that the map made by Old Wells was quite detailed. In addition to the patrol routes, it also marked safe activity areas, not recommended areas, dangerous areas, and all nearby water sources and locations. There are points where food can be obtained, as well as locations that can be used to stock up on emergency supplies in the future.

It can be seen that the elder Wells has really put in a lot of effort during this period.

This map uses the residence of each person in the small group as a node, and Ronan's home is clearly marked on it.

Ronan noticed that the dot marking Linus' residence was located closest to the town, and the entire map had a vague feeling of being planned around it.

Ronan didn't say anything. It was incredible that Old Wells could recruit a fifth-level apprentice. It would be really strange if his attitude towards him was no different from others.

"...There is also a handbook of techniques and precautions that can be used during patrols. Andre is compiling it, and I will send it to everyone when the time comes."

Old Will paused and said: "Next, let's make some arrangements for the patrol.

My suggestion is, work in pairs.”

Old Wells had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by young Linus.

"I'm not used to being with people, I'm fine alone."

Linus spoke in a cold voice, with a hint of toughness that could not be refuted.

"good."

Old Wells didn't say anything, and just nodded and agreed, "Then Linus will be in a group, Venetia and I will be in a group, Qiaolin and his wife, you will be in a group, Ronan and Jacob, and the rest will be It’s the Andre brothers, and they definitely don’t want to be separated.”

Old Wells quickly organized himself into groups, and then looked at Ronan.

It is estimated that Old Wells has been angry with several people before about the grouping matter, and now the main thing is to look at his opinion.

Ronan nodded, indicating that he was fine.

During the grouping process, he recognized everyone on the field one by one.

Linus had nothing to say. Venetia was the shy girl who lived by the tree spring and now took turns taking care of Potter's daughter Cheryl with Old Wells.

She was always present, but she never said a word from the beginning to the end. Her strength was that of a second-level apprentice.

Qiao Lin and his wife are a wizard couple, both are second-level wizard apprentices.

The man is fat and wears a pair of crystal glasses on his face. He looks timid, submissive and has no independent opinion.

The woman was much stronger. She asked Old Wells several questions when he was looking at the patrol route map.

Jacob, who was left in the group with Ronan, was the fat blond guy who spoke at the beginning, with the strength of a second-level apprentice.

This guy seemed very happy to be in the same group as Ronan. He kept looking at Ronan secretly, as if he wanted to come up and say hello to him but didn't dare.

At the end of the grouping, Old Wells said some words of encouragement and encouragement, and finally took out some palm-sized wooden boxes and distributed them to everyone, saying: "This is a signal box. Once something happens, everyone just needs to crush it." , others who see the signal will come immediately."

Ronan played with the small wooden box in his hand, and his spiritual power penetrated it, only to find that it only contained some dark unknown powder.

He had seen this thing at a stall in the wizard's market. It was an early warning gadget based on potions science.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Linus making a questioning voice.

"Why don't you use a communication stone? It's faster and more convenient."

Everyone couldn't help but look up at Linus when they heard what he said, but no one spoke.

Ronan looked at the arrogant fifth-level wizard in front of him, feeling speechless.

A [Messaging] rune costs more than a dozen low-level magic stones on the market. Except for senior apprentices, who can use a high-level auxiliary tool like a Messaging Stone?

I'm afraid this guy has forgotten that they are just low-level little wizards who live in the tree house area and are reluctant to spend money to move to the city even if the war is about to break out.

Linus soon realized the stupidity of his words, and he felt a little embarrassed on his face. He snorted and did not speak again.

Ronan stared at him, thinking to himself: Only if he had a communication stone could he possibly come up with the suggestion of "why not eat minced meat". It looks like this guy has a lot of money.
