Chapter 94: Opening up wasteland
After the Bremen City staff left, Gothe put away the summons and immediately took a public carriage to the potion store in the Siren District.
Now that you have made up your mind to participate in this large-scale hunting and cleaning operation, you must make adequate preparations before the war.
He wants to purchase the supplies needed for the battle.
The first is "Blue Light Potion", Gaode bought five sets in one go.
A set of 3 gold coins.
Costs 15 gold coins.
In fact, if he were not afraid that too much weight would affect his movements, he would have bought more.
The function of "Blue Light Potion" is for the mage apprentice to replenish mana and accelerate mana recovery.
When a second-class mage apprentice has less than full mana, after drinking a bottle of "Blue Light Potion" and then sitting quietly and running the guidance method, he can restore his mana to 7788 in half an hour.
A third-level apprentice can recover most of his mana within half an hour.
The reason why the name "Blue Light Potion" was chosen is probably to appear taller. A more down-to-earth term is "Basic Mana Recovery Potion".
In addition, I also purchased a set of "primary healing potions", also a set of 3 gold.
This is used to treat external injuries, but it has no effect on injuries caused by extraordinary power.
However, there are still many 0-level leyline creatures that do not possess extraordinary power, but are simply physically strong.
So "primary healing potion" may still be useful.
Finally, Gothe also wants to purchase one or two alchemical creations to protect his life.
First, he has the Fang of the Hidden Mist, which can be regarded as already possessing an offensive magic weapon.
Secondly, in this battle, stability and life-saving are the top priority.
Because as long as their lives are saved, no matter how fierce the earth-line creature is, other mages will help to kill it.
Unlike a solo adventure, if you encounter earth-line creatures, there is a high probability that you will die or I will live. You must have both defense and attack.
But what he can think of, others can naturally think of.
Gaode was not the first mage to receive the summoning order, so it was already too late by the time he started to want to buy alchemical creations.
Basically all the good products have been sold out.
The rest are either defective products, ones he can't afford, or ones that are of little use.
After visiting several stores in a row and still finding nothing, Gaode had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, the origin point of the dire bat lies in [Blade Protection], Gaode secretly rejoiced.
It seems that, aside from the new land line this time, at least the potion masters and alchemists in the city can make a lot of money.
"Perhaps my restoration business will be prosperous again after the war?" Gothe thought again.
After all, the most likely time for magic items to be damaged is during combat.
After everything was done, the public carriages in the city had stopped "operating".
Gaode had no choice but to spend 25 coppers and get a light two-wheeled carriage to rush home.
After returning home, I washed myself first, then simply packed up and bowed. After hanging a rest sign at the door, I fell asleep.
In the next few days, you will have to eat and sleep in the open air, so you must keep your spirits up.
No words for a night.
It was still bright, so Gaude got up half an hour earlier than usual and prepared a hearty breakfast for himself.
After breakfast, I took my package and pushed out the door. When I arrived at Black Horn Square, there was still a quarter of an hour before the agreed time of seven o'clock.
But at this time, there was already a group of people waiting in Black Horn Square.
There were some familiar people whispering, some people gathered together and got acquainted on the spot, and some stood in the corner and observed silently, but no one was making any noise, and they all maintained the appropriate level.
The behaviors are different, but the same thing is that everyone is carrying a bulging package.
They are all unofficial mages in Bremen.
It is not always easy to find a mage. Now that the summons was issued, Gao De discovered that there are quite a lot of mage in the huge city of Bremen.
Although they are basically mage apprentices, there are probably not many serious mages.
At the entrance of the square, there were several tables. There were several staff behind each table, and there was a long queue in front of the table.
Gaode chose the team with the smallest number and lined up.
The whole process is also very simple. Just take out the summoning order received yesterday, sign your name and mage level, and then the staff will stamp a seal on the departure date and issue the corresponding level of remuneration. It will be half past seven when all the mages who have received the summons and are scheduled to gather in Black Horn Square have completed their registration.
After another boring wait for half an hour, until the scorching sun was high and everyone started to get irritable, a female mage wearing a dark blue magic robe arrived belatedly.
"Is everything done?"
She asked softly, without any apology in her tone, but with an air of unquestionable authority.
The female mage looked to be in her thirties, with a thin face, visible cheekbones, and sharp eyes like an eagle.
Although she is a woman, no one dares to underestimate her. This is the majesty of a mage.
Her arrival seemed to bring a breath of coolness instantly, calming down the anxious atmosphere on the field.
"Everything is ready, you can leave at any time." The steward in charge of registration took a step forward and whispered.
The female mage nodded slightly and glanced around the field.
Wherever he looked, the complaints that had arisen from waiting were instantly subsided.
"Get ready to go." She said softly, but her voice spread throughout the square like a blessed loudspeaker.
“I know her, Master Versa, she is the second-level mage of the law enforcement team.”
Someone in the crowd whispered.
Gaode felt a chill in his heart.
Second Ring Mage!
A first-level mage is enough to awe Gothe, let alone a second-level mage.
At the same time, Gaode felt at ease.
With a second-level mage leading the team, as long as you are careful and don't seek death, usually nothing will happen.
Following the order from Master Versa, a group of mages in the Black Horn Square formed two long queues and left in a mighty manner under the command of official personnel.
Outside the city gate, there were already city guards and convoys waiting.
The team is still dominated by mage apprentices.
When a mage is in the apprenticeship stage, his physical fitness is not much different from that of ordinary people.
Even because their status is generally higher than that of ordinary people, they usually do not need to do any physical work, and their physical fitness is often a little weaker than ordinary people.
So, if you don’t arrange carriages and horses, and rely solely on foot strength, just traveling alone is enough for the mage apprentices to eat a pot, how can they still have the energy to "fight monsters"?
However, although vehicles are arranged, don’t expect too much comfort.
The frame made of solid wood can withstand heavy loads and the bumps of long-distance marches, but its cushioning capabilities are worrisome.
The wheels are wide and have wooden hubs, which are enough to drive on muddy or uneven ground.
The car is covered with a thick layer of canvas, and the luggage is loaded under the canvas.
The mages sat directly on the canvas.
Arrange eight mages in one carriage.
Compared with the mages who have carriages to travel around, the city guards have to work much harder.
Most of the city guards could only follow the convoy on foot.
However, the city guards are only responsible for logistics work, and the main force in the battle is the mages, so they are just tired and it does not matter.
After all the mages are arranged, the convoy will officially set off.
Next, it’s a long road.
The traces of the battle left by the dire bats that attacked the city yesterday have not been completely cleaned up after most of yesterday. The remains and severed limbs of dire bats can occasionally be seen on the road.
The purpose of Gothe's convoy is Carmond City.
The main task is to clear out the earth-line creatures wandering near the official road from Bremen City to Camond City, so as to restore the passage of the official road between the two cities.
At first, the road was still wide, and occasionally I could see farmers who had the courage to come out to harvest wheat in the fields on both sides of the road.
About an hour later, the convoy officially drove into the depths of the mountain forest, and there were no more people on both sides of the road.
According to the requirements, when they get here, the mages in the convoy must spread out to both sides along the official road and hunt down the earth-line creatures wandering on both sides of the official road.
It is necessary to ensure that no earthly creatures are left within the area of at least two kilometers on both sides of the official road.
Only by meeting this standard can the safety of the official road be initially guaranteed.
According to Gaode's understanding, this action can be referred to as "opening up wasteland and building roads".
