Chapter 33 Small Town

All night, the soldiers got up early the next day. The chaotic sounds made Shaoko, who was meditating, stop and began to organize his personal hygiene. The camp of the mercenary group next to him was also awakened by the soldiers. Although some members complained about the impolite behavior of these soldiers, none of them came to argue with them in person.

After breakfast, the mercenary captain said goodbye to the mages and the military captain. Their mission items were not in this area, and they still needed to move forward to the depths of the forest for a few days before they appeared. Of course, these were all information they obtained in the town. Now, after encountering the patrol army, the mercenary group hoped that the captain of the mercenary group could prompt them some of the situations ahead.

The captain kindly told them what happened before: "The snow tiger in front has basically been hunted by us. You need to change the direction. When we returned, we didn't even notice a snow tiger. Maybe you can walk in that direction. I guess there are still some snow tigers there."

"Thank you! We will not forget your help." After thanking the military captain, he made another request: "Is your supplies still abundant? We have consumed some dry food and liquor. If it is convenient, I hope to get some supplements from you."

After a while of contemplation, the captain expressed to the other party that he needed to discuss with the mages.

After listening to the captain's remarks, Shaoke asked: "Captain, can our food and wine support us to return to the town? If there is excess food, we can sell it to them. After all, no one will eat the dry food when taken back. What about Master Yijia and his opinion?"

The captain replied: "Master Xueye, I have not yet asked about the other two mages, I will go and ask later."

"Well! OK, I won't go there. When the matter is done, come and notify me." Shaoke is now packing up the books scattered last night. He doesn't want to see those mercenaries, as that will waste his time in sorting out his belongings.

When Shaoke packed up some and waited for departure, the soldiers outside informed him that they could go on the road again. After the mercenaries received enough supplies here, they quickly bid farewell to everyone and left.

The team set off again. After the first encounter with the mercenary group, in the next few days, they encountered more mercenary teams. After checking the map, Shaoke knew that they were not so far away from the town. Due to the emergence of a large number of mercenaries, the monsters here are very rare, and the road when they came was still clearly visible under the occasional maintenance of the mercenaries. Therefore, the team's advance speed was nearly half faster than before, after all, their temporary home was ahead.

After receiving the reminder from the mage, the soldiers in the entire team increased their speed a little.

When everyone returned to the town that had been away for more than two months, they shouted excitedly. The soldiers guarding the town also discovered this group of dusty companions early. Some of them ran quickly to the center of the town to inform the other captains who were left behind here, but most of them still came to greet Shao Ke and the others. The residents of the town also put down their work and greeted the soldiers. Many children secretly observed Shao Ke and the three mages, with envy on their faces, and could not escape the observation of everyone.

Shaoko and the soldiers with their prey went to the barracks in the town while watching and welcomed everyone. After meeting three other captains who brought the soldiers to greet them, they exchanged greetings. Everyone decided to hold a banquet at noon tomorrow and summon some merchants to sell the harvest, because the soldiers and mages are now very tired and need a good rest for the night.

After the mages talked about what happened in the action for a while in the captain's tent, Shaoko said goodbye to them. Everyone knew his habits and did not forcefully retain them. However, Master Yijia and Master Kiya were a little dissatisfied with his behavior. Perhaps in their opinion, the mage still needed some necessary interpersonal communication.

When Shaoke was about to leave, the captain handed him a package: "Master Snow Night, this is a package mailed from the imperial capital a few days ago. Is it a Fei? Master and Master Loki, I will send a soldier to you!"

"No, I'm very grateful for your kindness. I'll just be alone." Shaoke rejected the other party's kindness: "Captain, I won't attend the banquet tomorrow, you don't have to wait for me."

"Okay, Master Xueye, I hope you can rest well in the evening. After all, I heard from the soldiers that this operation is very dangerous." After a few words of politeness, the captain returned to talk to the other two mages. After all, he knew Shaoke's habits, because Shaoke had only attended the banquet for the first time and had never participated in such an event again. Who made him a mage?

When Shaoke went back, he went to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities. After rushing back to the hut that had been away for two months, Shaoke involuntarily developed a warmth. Is this my home in this world? After shaking his head, he no longer paid attention to that feeling.

The thick snow blocked the door. Shaoke worked hard to clean it up before entering. The room was covered with thick dust because there was no one living in it for a long time. Fortunately, when he left, the desk, the books and other items in the closet were sorted out properly, which reduced a lot of trouble for his cleaning.

After all this, Shaoke had time to check the fee? The packages sent by the mage and Loki, a long box made of fir, and a letter wrapped in animal skins. This is what Shaoke found in the package.

When we opened the letter, it was indeed a letter mailed by the two mages. The letter roughly said: "Master Xueye, we have arrived at the imperial capital and settled down. The military department arranged us to the civilian department, which is not bad at all. In addition, we have copied several first-level spells that are not in the town. Due to the authority and time issues, we did not copy too much. I hope you will put them in the hut of the party so that the mages will need in the future."

The letter also said a lot of things, mainly what happened to them just arrived in the imperial capital. Master Loki hoped that Shaoko could be promoted as soon as possible so that the three of them would reunite again. Finally, they attached their current workplace: being an enlightenment tutor at the Mist Academy in the imperial capital, hoping that Shaoko could find them after he arrived in the imperial capital. Finally, they also mentioned the situation of their two juniors: Master Yiga and Master Kiya, and hope that Shaoko could take good care of them.

The letter was finished, but Shaoke was not as excited as he had just received the letter. After recalling what happened to the other two mages during the period, Shaoke felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know how to tell the two mages who had helped him.

Shaoke pondered for a while, and did not hurry to check the box where the first-level spell was placed, but planned to reply to the other party's letter first.

After about half a magic time, Shaoko decided to write down what happened these days completely and impartially because it was unnecessary to conceal it. I believe they also gave the same letter to Master Yijia and the others.

After carefully folding the written letter, Shaoke decided to go to the town the day after tomorrow to send the letter and give the gold coins promised by the team that set out with him this time. He didn't want to be complained by the soldiers because he forgot this promise. After all, the gold coins promised this time were equal to their two months of military expenses!

When I opened the box, I realized that the mages not only placed a few first-level spell records in it, but also had a small thin notebook. Shaoke opened the notebook and found that it was some things that should be paid attention to when mages copied by Loki. It seemed that this was a small surprise for the other party, but this small surprise was also very important for Shaoke. It was also written on it, and finally a copy was copied and placed with the spell record, because after being promoted to the magician level, he stayed here for quite some time. The mages did not understand what they should pay attention to after becoming a magician and how to consolidate their current cultivation level. This would lead to a very slow progress in spell cultivation during this period.

Shaoke finally observed the spells sent this time. Four thick elemental papers were rolled into scrolls. The names of the spells copied inside were written on the outside, namely: "Swamp Technique", "Light Technique", "Flame Spray", and "Elemental Blessing". Shaoke found that these spells are quite suitable for the casting environment here, especially "Elemental Blessing". It is different from the "Spray Casing Focus" spell. It can maximize the caster's mental power and magic power in his body when casting spells, and to a certain extent accelerate the formation of low-level and same-level spells. Although according to normal, it can only speed up the speed of two to three syllables, but it lasts for a relatively long time, exceeding the six magics of "Spray Casing Focus" and reaching eleven magics. This means that after the mages release the spell in the morning, and then the camping period, the casting speed is always faster than the few syllables.

I really don’t know where they copied the last spell, because when Shaoke was studying in the academy, he never heard of this spell in the first-level spell, and even in the book, he didn’t mention it. Finally, Shaoke thought that this might be a unique spell in the army! I also believe that the mage union must have similar spells.

The hut slowly darkened. After lighting the candle, Shaoke decided to copy these four spells today before going to bed because he planned to do a long meditation tomorrow, which was not convenient to copy. As for the aforementioned spell drawings, there is no time to temper it now. Shaoke believes that after more than two months of tempering it, he doesn't care about today.
