Chapter 98 Progress
After confirming Gaode’s intention to stay, the staff wrote the 4th of Harvest Moon on Gaode’s summons and stamped it with a seal.
Then Gaode once again received a "daily salary" of 5 gold coins.
At the same time, he made a visual inspection and found that there were about five hundred mages who originally applied.
After one day, one in ten people chose to leave.
The rest is to choose to continue.
If calculated based on 450 people, even if they are all mage apprentices, Bremen City's one-day employment fee is almost 4,500 Sean gold coins.
In one day, the team can advance more than ten kilometers.
If everything goes well, it will take more than half a month to complete this mission.
One day, 4,500 gold, is equivalent to about 4.5 million yuan on earth based on purchasing power.
The labor cost can be said to be astonishingly high.
But after Gaode thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not too much.
On Earth, the construction cost of building one kilometer of highway is between 20 million and 30 million yuan.
In comparison, an expenditure of 4.5 million yuan can advance ten kilometers, and the land reclamation will also yield trophies of corpses of earth-line creatures.
The value of the corpses of these earth-line creatures cannot be said to allow the official to recover their capital or even make a small profit, but at least they can restore a lot of blood.
This time when he went out, in addition to purchasing five sets of 'blue light potions' from the potion store, Gaode also replenished five sets of 'basic magic potions'.
The 10 sets of basic magic potions purchased on the 2nd of Harvest Moon were all consumed just yesterday.
A month’s expenditure on magic potions alone is as high as 60 gold.
But Gaode could only grit his teeth and accept it.
The more battles he experienced, the more he felt that his mana was in embarrassment.
Therefore, exchanging money for the progress of mana growth may seem like a luxury, but it is also extremely necessary.
After dinner, Gaode found a secluded corner, took out a bottle of basic magic potion and drank it while no one was paying attention. Then he ignored the noise around him and sat down quietly to start practicing the guidance method.
Even in the wild, he was not prepared to interrupt his practice.
After all, it is foreseeable that this time we will stay in the wild for more than half a month.
Gaode couldn't bear to interrupt his practice for so long.
At dawn on the second day, the guards in charge of logistics had already boiled the broth in the pot.
In this world, there are no scientific or unscientific sayings such as "breakfast is the source of energy for the day" or "breakfast is the most important meal of the day".
The truth is, not everyone in this world eats breakfast.
Especially among the working class, as it is common to start work at dawn.
If there is breakfast, it is very simple, consisting of leftovers, cold bread from the day before, and water or light wine.
Therefore, although everyone needs to perform tasks, which consumes a lot of physical strength and cannot be dealt with casually, providing everyone with a bowl of broth is already a very high treatment.
The staple food is still dry food.
After breakfast, everyone gathered according to yesterday’s team composition.
“Yesterday was the first day, and some people came here just because they had a hot head.”
“After yesterday’s day’s task, I believe that those who are still staying will not be here in a short time. Will leave.”
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Maciei, a 1st-level mage and a member of the law enforcement team." The leading mage, who had not disclosed his name to anyone yesterday, took the initiative to introduce himself before setting off today.
“Let’s all get in touch with each other’s names and mage levels, and we’ll have to get along with each other for more than half a month.”
Maciei got up, and everyone basically got in touch with each other. information.
Gothe calculated that their temporary team, including Maciei, had a total of twenty-three people.
Except for Maciei, who is a first-level mage, among the remaining twenty-two, 11 are third-level mage apprentices, and 11 are second-level mage apprentices, which is exactly 50 to 50.
After a brief glance, Gaode can basically confirm that he should be the one with the lowest actual level in the entire team.
Because of the others, the youngest should be in their twenties by the looks of it.
At this age, even if he is still a second-class mage apprentice, he is definitely not comparable to the "new recruit" who was just promoted to a second-class apprentice a month ago.
"Although my level is low, I have many spells." Gothe thought in his heart.
When we were cleaning the ash sting bee colony yesterday, most of the people could only watch.
Without mana, no matter how many spells you master, it will all be in vain.
Vice versa.
After simply repairing and tidying up, the large army set off again.
Still the same arrangement as yesterday.
Advance along the official road, and every one kilometer or so, two teams will be put down and enter the dense forests on both sides of the official road to clear up wasteland.
Time passes day by day. Everyone's ability to deal with earth-line creatures and their tacit understanding of cooperation are steadily improving.
However, as land reclamation progressed, casualties gradually appeared.
Several mage apprentices unfortunately die almost every day.
Gaode's team is very lucky. Although some people have been injured, there has been no attrition so far.
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that he had never encountered a "bonus level" like the Gray Sting Swarm.
Harvest Moon, 8th.
Five days have passed since the main force set off from Bremen.
Evening.
The frame beside the campfire.
Gaode sat cross-legged and had entered a state of trance.
It can be seen that throughout the temporary camp, there are many mage apprentices and Gothe doing the same thing.
After all, most of the wild mages who will respond to the summons have a "fighting" heart.
Diligent practice is only the most basic thing for a mage.
Half an hour later.
Gothe opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.
“Finally another breakthrough!”
His guidance method has just been upgraded by a small level.
Now, Gothe's mana is enough to support him to cast eight tricks.
He counted with his fingers and found that the last time he had a breakthrough with the guidance method was on the 1st of Rizhao month, when he first arrived in Bremen.
Only thirty-seven days have passed, and it has improved again.
A few days faster than expected.
"It may be related to the continuous use and recovery of mana during this period." Gothe said secretly.
After thinking about it, he closed his eyes again, concentrated his attention, and opened the simple information panel of "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow".
Origin:
Ring 0 -——[Human] (2/7), [Groundworm] (1/7), [Wolf Rat] (4/7), [Magic Explosive Frog] (1/7), [Dire Rat] (3/7), [Earth Mephit] (2/7)
There are 11 entries in total. Excluding the five points of origin that have been collected and used, there are still 6 entries in progress.
[Human] Don’t think about it for now.
The same goes for [Digger]. In the past five days, not only his team, but other teams have never encountered it.
It should be the leyline plane territory connected to the 'Hogan's leyline', and there is no such leyline creature.
[Wolf Rat] is only three short, and it is the closest to full progress.
As for the [Magic Explosive Frog], Gothe still has lingering fears when thinking about this thing.
It seems that "frog" is the weakest of these entries.
But in the extraordinary world, common sense cannot be used to make judgments.
In fact, in the past five days, the Magic Explosive Frog was the most difficult to deal with among the 0-level earth line creatures that Gaode encountered.
Because this thing has extraordinary power and has magic-like abilities, it can shoot a fierce energy beam from its mouth, which is frighteningly powerful.
According to what Maciei said, the magic-like ability mastered by the Magic Explosion Frog is equivalent to the trick [Magic Explosion].
And [Magic Explosion] can almost be said to be the most powerful spell among the cantrips, even more powerful than [Fire Arrow].
Fortunately, the Magic Explosive Frog cannot continuously spray energy beams.
So after it injured a mage apprentice, it was blasted into charcoal by Gothe's timely and accurate [Flame Arrow+].
[Dire Rats] are the weakest earth-line creatures among these entries. They do not have the size of [Wolf Rats], nor do they appear in groups like [Dire Bats].
So almost as soon as he was discovered, he was easily solved by the mage apprentices in the team.
[Earth Mephit] is another 0-level leyline creature with extraordinary abilities, but it is not a spell-like ability, but can spit out ruler-cone-shaped gravels from its mouth.
The power cannot be underestimated, and they rarely appear in groups, with eight or nine of them.
However, Maciei, a level 1 mage, took action in time, and this team of [Earth Magic Bats] did not cause much damage to the team.
And because they are flying earth-line creatures, Gothe actually killed two of them by relying on the range of [Flame Arrow+].
Of course, in these five days, Gothe's team cleaned up far more than these earth-line creatures.
It’s just
“It’s so difficult to steal people’s heads!” Gaode once again made a complaint that he had repeated countless times in the past few days.
