Chapter 90 The Agreement Tavern
Master Roland hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement with Shaoko's opinion. After the mages talked for a while, Master Roland said goodbye and left. After nearly a day of battle, his body did not allow them to have a long conversation.
After a night off, Shaoke wrote a letter to the Blizzard Legion's mage in the morning and asked the other party about some questions about Mage Roland, and then his life returned to normal, meditating, and practicing spells.
After a few more attacks, the enemy troops outside the city pulled them out one night. When Master Roland told Shaoko the news, he breathed a lot of relief. He wandered on the brink of death several times. After seeing bloody deaths, Shaoko felt that he was more indifferent to human life than before. As the mage who was with him who killed the enemy warriors said, the most valuable thing here is human life.
After several battles, the new mages have lost nearly 100 people, and most of them have died directly on the battlefield. However, a small number of them have survived fortunately, but the damage from their bodies and meditation space has caused them to never move forward even in the path of magic in the future.
In several battles, Shaoke only once was injured by a stray arrow. Fortunately, the stray arrow was weak and the wound was not big. However, this also allowed him to practice for nearly half a month before he could proficiently release the spell again.
"Master Snow Night, I decided to sign this agreement." On that day, after Master Roland received the invitation from Shaoko, he came here to find that the letter from the Blizzard Legion was here, and followed by a large number of third-level auxiliary drugs. Of course, there is also a special reward from Shaoko.
After seeing the agreement, Master Roland finally gritted his teeth and signed the agreement. "Master Roland, why did you make a decision so quickly?" Shaoke looked at the other party with some confusion.
"Master Snow Night, you stay in this room all day, and you don't know anything outside at all!" Master Roland looked at various books on the Shaoke writing platform, shook his head and explained: "After the last battle, many mages came to find us mages who just came here. They hoped that we could join some army, including the Blue Feather Legion, the Black Wind Legion, the Frost Legion... Many armies have representatives here. I originally wanted to join the Blue Feather Legion, but I felt that you had joined the Blizzard Legion, so I made the same choice as you."
Master Roland's choice moved Shaoke a little, "Thank you! Is the Blue Feather Legion directly under the Royal Legion?" Shaoke had some questions. He remembered seeing the name of this Legion in the book before.
"Yes, it belongs to the Royal Legion. It seems that most of the mages here have joined this legion because their subsidy is too high. There are 500 general gold coins per month, and the medicine is also at the third level, and it is the highest among the third level. I heard that the mages can take it at will." Mage Roland said the various benefits of the Blue Feather Legion with some envy.
Shaoke smiled bitterly, "I think you should join the Blue Feather Legion, at least in terms of subsidies, it is much better than Blizzard. And after you become a high-level mage, you can't say you can go to the Royal Academy to study!" He now regretted the choice to join the Blizzard Legion, but after thinking that his arm had already had the mark of alliance, he no longer considered those messy things.
Master Roland shrugged, "But the Blue Feather Legion's agreement does not stipulate how long it will last there. It only requires that you can leave after reaching the sixth level. Heaven, Master Roland, this is the sixth level! I don't know how many decades it takes to be promoted to the sixth level mage. If I can't be promoted to the sixth level mage in this life, would I be there to carry it?"
Shaoke sorted out the paper and letters on the writing table, carefully placed them properly, and then replied: "I think the possibility of the Blue Feather Legion going to the battlefield is very small, so the danger you face after level 3 will be greatly reduced. What do you think?"
Master Roland was silent. He actually wanted to accept the agreement of the Blue Feather Legion, but he was a little reluctant to let go of the mage in front of him who had become a little ugly now. After the two mages discussed for a while, Master Roland finally faced his true intentions and decided to join the Blue Feather Legion.
After hearing the other party's decision, Shaoke took out a piece of military magic paper without hesitation and explained in detail the reasons for the change of choice, and returned all the items sent by the other party. Master Roland apologized again and again. It was not until Shaoke repeatedly confirmed that he would not cause trouble when he did this, that Master Roland felt relieved.
"Thank you! Master Xueye, I think we can have a drink in the tavern. There are many mages gathered there, and there are a large number of female mages!" Master Roland made a suggestion to Shaoko, "And you didn't leave this yard after you got here. I think you have to go out for a walk, well! If you don't take a carriage, just walk over slowly. The tavern is not far from the military camp."
Shaoke thought about it and finally decided to go out for a walk, and planned to buy some magic materials outside to conduct magic experiments.
As Master Roland said, the tavern was in a small stone fort with several towers standing not far from the barracks. There were dozens of big men carrying military weapons standing at the gate of the stone fort. Shaoke could easily tell that they were soldiers from the army in terms of their momentum. With his perception, Shaoke found that they were all third-level soldiers. After seeing Shaoke, one of the bald warriors was stunned for a moment and went forward to salute: "Master Xueye, thank you for your help in the last battle."
Shaoke looked at the bald man with some confusion and smiled, "Oh! It's you, that's what I should do. If I don't help you, will you still protect us mages in the future?"
"Master Xueye, it is our duty to protect you. If it weren't for your help, I think I've been chopped into pieces of meat." At that moment, the man denied Shaoke's statement, and he did not forget the help he gave to the mage in front of him.
After chatting with the big man for a few words, Shaoke left here and went to the stone fort to look for a tavern.
"Mage Snow Night, have you helped this warrior? On the battlefield?" Mage Roland asked why they met. "Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"
"Yes, during the last battle, two third-level warriors from the enemy country besieged him. I just released the spell to help him kill one of them." After Shaoko said that, he felt that it was still necessary to add something, "This is what we should have done, what do you think?"
Master Roland nodded in agreement with him and took Shaoko toward the room in the tavern. Along the way, Shaoko found that there were many mages in the stone castle. He also saw the seventh-level mage who received them in the military camp, and many warriors here. Shaoko sensed it and found that the warriors here were at the lowest level. When he felt several fifth-level warriors walking over with their maids in their arms, Shaoko wisely stopped his perception. He didn't want those high-level warriors to find a small second-level mage to check their strength, and thus conflicted.
After passing through several corridors, the tavern mentioned by Master Roland appeared in front of them. The place where it acted as a tavern was very large, and it could be said to be a separate large courtyard. Overall, Shaoke felt that it was a bit like the courtyards in his previous life, but the area was only expanded a lot. There were dozens of long tables in the yard and enough exquisite food was placed on it. The young and beautiful maids kept shuttled between these tables and rooms, and used the trays on their hands to supplement some necessary consumables, such as various wines, pastries, and other foods.
Master Roland took out more than a dozen universal gold coins and threw them into a large copper box on the side of the door, causing a 'ding' collision. Shaoko also planned to do what the other party had. Master Roland stopped him and said, "Master Snow Night, you don't need to invest again. Every mage comes here to pay five universal gold coins and can enjoy exquisite food and fine wine in this courtyard. Only when you spend in that big room, you need to pay again." He said, looking at the maids, "If you want these maids to do special services, you must pay again. Also, only universal gold coins are accepted here, and you will not accept gold coins as a consumption fee."
Shaoke shook his head a little depressedly. Fortunately, he didn't use the so-called advanced sales method to sell in these places. Otherwise, with his half-baked sales knowledge, the people here would have laughed to death.
The two mages found a table with few people and sat on a high-back chair, tasting various pastries and wine bit by bit. Shaoke secretly swept the yard and found that except for the maids, the remaining mages were all mages. The lowest one was the second level, and the higher level was the fifth level. Many mages had never seen many mages. After a rough estimate, he found that there were more mages here than the mages in the courtyard where he was. There were also many fourth-level mages. After scanning this, he found five or six fourth-level mages around.
After suppressing the doubts in his heart, Shaoke chose a glass of snow wine that he hadn't drunk for a long time and slowly tasted it. The familiar smell of wine reminded him of the days of guarding the border in the foggy forest again.
"Two mages, do you need us to accompany you?" A crisp voice interrupted Shaoko's memory. Two young maids stood beside Shaoko and Roland, with the tray in their hands on the table. One of the maids placed his little hand on Shaoko's shoulder and gently pressed it a few times. "We can go to the cottage behind to taste it slowly, where there are a lot of fine wines!"
Before Shaoke could speak, Master Roland gently stopped the little waist of the maid on the side, "Master Xueye, do you agree with the suggestions of these two beautiful girls?" After saying that, Master Roland seemed to emphasize again in order to dispel Shaoke's doubts: "Haha! Master Xueye, these girls rarely come to find the mages here. Of course, unless you pay enough money, this money is not something that ordinary mages can afford."
Shaoke looked at the maid standing beside him and found that the other party's eyes were aiming at Master Roland from time to time, "I want to go inside and look, Master Roland, you go first! If necessary, you can go back and wait for me first."
Seeing that Shaoko refused, Master Roland wisely gave up the idea of persuading the other party to go with him and shrugged. He actually wanted to use this method to apologize for some of the troubles that had just caused to Shaoko. After all, the mages here all like to come here for various enjoyments.
