Advent of the Archmage

Chapter 89: The first breach inside the fortress

Views:

Although Link handed in 7 scrolls a day, he still couldn't make up for the huge gap of nearly 100 scrolls. In desperation, Warwick had to walk up to the second floor of the Magic Tower and knocked on the door of the magician Drake's room. .

"Who." Drake's voice came from the room, and for some reason, he was a little nervous.

'It's really strange, is this guy Draco doing something shady? Warwick muttered in his heart, Draco is a cold-tempered guy with a low level of magic, and he is not very respected among magic apprentices.

"It's me, Warwick."

"Why are you looking for me at this time?" The footsteps in the room were getting closer, and Draco came to open the door, with obvious dissatisfaction in his voice.

There was a 'click' and the door opened, behind which Draco stood sullenly.

The moment the door opened, there was an extremely faint smell wafting out of the room. Warwick, who had a more sensitive sense of smell, smelled it: "What kind of smell is this? It's a bit like sulfur, a bit like rosin, and a bit rotten. it's wired. '

He never asked about this strange smell.

"Quickly, what's the matter?" Draco snorted, interrupting Warwick's thoughts.

"Oh, that's it." Warwick was a little embarrassed to speak, he hesitated for a few seconds, seeing that the impatience on Draco's face was on the verge of exploding, he had no choice but to say: "Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish as scheduled. The military order for the scroll has been placed."

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was said, Draco frowned tightly: "Tell me specifically what's going on? I remember that there are 8 of you, oh no, including the newcomer, it should be 9 people. 800 people completed in 20 days It shouldn't be difficult to open a scroll, right?"

"No, sir, there are only 7 now. Hansen and Munster accidentally had a backlash, and now I can only receive 35 scrolls a day. Sir, for the past three days, I have written 5 scrolls every day , I have tried my best, but it is useless, there is still a gap of 100 cards." Warwick spread his hands helplessly.

This sentence made Draco explode directly: "Damn! You idiot! At this juncture, where do you ask me to find someone for you? Potions, low-level magic equipment, the entire academy, every apprentice is dealing with this Everyone is busy with military orders! You come to me, do you want me to help you in person?"

He is a level 2 official magician, to write a level 0 scroll is a joke! He can't hold back this face!

What's more, he is not very good at drawing magic scrolls. It is estimated that his ability in this area is equivalent to that of a senior magic apprentice.

On top of that, he's busy, busy making money. He is learning a level 3 magic, and has reached the final stage of putting it into practice. He needs to rent the tutor's element pool.

The rent for using the element pool for one hour is 100 gold coins, and it will take him a month to earn this money, and his magic experiment will take at least three hours.

Therefore, he has no time to mess up these crap things about magic apprentices!

Warwick shook his head quickly with a bitter face, "No, no, sir, that's not what I meant. I was wondering if the order quantity could be lowered, such as 700, no, no, 750 or something."

Drake shook his head: "The order was discussed between the instructor and the quartermaster. It has already been decided, and I have no right to modify it... Damn, how could I encounter such a bad thing!"

He is very troubled. Warwick, the general manager of the low-level magic item trading in the magic tower, made a mistake here. The teacher will not directly punish this magic apprentice, but him, Drake!

Of course, the instructor will not remove him as the chief executive, but he will definitely deduct his share. Once this happens, the date for his level 3 magic experiment will be greatly postponed.

'What should I do? The mentor has become more and more eccentric recently, and recently he has been asking him to collect some strange magic materials. If something really happened, I guess I would have done nothing this year... Oh, my God, how could such a bad thing happen to me! 'Draco's mood dropped to freezing point.

After much deliberation, Draco couldn't think of any good solution. He finally found that if he wanted to continue to progress on the road of magic, he had to bear this matter.

In desperation, he could only say: "You go back first, I'll go to other magic towers to ask if there are any extra scrolls. Also, don't rely on me for this matter, try to write as much as possible to narrow the gap, understand? ?”

Warwick nodded again and again: "Yes, sir, I will definitely work hard."

"Go away!" Draco issued the order to evict the guest angrily.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is always so cruel and ruthless. On the second day of reporting the news to Drake, Warwick tried his best and still completed 6 scrolls. There are only 25 scrolls received in total today, and now, only Link's scrolls are left to be handed in.

"Oops, everyone is tired, and the speed is getting slower and slower." Warwick feels that if the current trend continues, the gap is estimated to be far more than 100, maybe 200, or 300.

That's really scary!

Just when Warwick felt hopeless, the door of the small room under the stairs opened on time, and Link appeared at the door, holding a large scroll in his hand.

Warwick's eyes lit up suddenly, he hurried up to meet him, and asked, "Link, how many pictures did you write today?"

Before Link could answer, he had already started counting: "One, two, three...eight, nine, ten...ten? Am I right?"

Warwick rubbed his eyes and began to count again, although it was the simplest number, he couldn't believe it.

Writing 10 scrolls in one day, and still writing 5 scrolls the day before yesterday, and 7 scrolls yesterday, this is a high-intensity burst for many consecutive days. Isn't this guy tired

After counting again, Warwick finally confirmed it, and he couldn't help shouting: "Lord of Radiance, Link, you really wrote 10 scrolls, it's unbelievable!"

This sound shocked the magic apprentices in the hall again. Everyone turned their heads and looked over. As soon as they saw the scroll in Link's hand, a large number of apprentices immediately surrounded them.

Really, 10 scrolls a day, this is already equal to the record of drawing magic scrolls in the past 3 years, it can't be eye-catching.

"Warwick, check it quickly!" Someone urged, if it is true that every scroll is valid, then this guy named Link is really powerful.

Maybe this guy is not talented in magic, maybe this guy is taciturn, but with his ability to draw magic scrolls by hand, he will definitely get a place in East Valley Magic Academy.

Warwick swallowed his saliva, he started to check, and the magic apprentices next to him also came to help check, and soon, after the check, all 10 scrolls were valid, and all of them were high-quality goods, which seemed to be more delicate than yesterday's scrolls It's beautiful, with radiant curls and clear lines, making people reluctant to let it go as soon as they get it in their hands, wishing they could hide it next to their body.

What's even more frightening is that each of these 10 scrolls is exactly the same, as if they were printed from a mold.

"Link, you're amazing!" Warwick was really convinced. When it comes to drawing scrolls, he felt that this kid was already the well-deserved number one among magic apprentices.

Link still just smiled slightly, as if it was just an insignificant thing: "Since the scroll is fine, I'll go to rest."

"Go, go, have a good rest." Warwick said hastily, he has a feeling that whether they can get through this time depends on Link.

Another day later, Link continued to hand in the scrolls. This time, there were 13 scrolls. This not only broke the ten-year record of the magic apprentices in Bell Tower of Magic, but also broke the record of 12 scrolls in the entire East Valley School of Magic. In the world, no one can hold a candle to it.

This time, all the apprentices are convinced!

The news spread quickly, and soon, all the magic apprentices at East Valley Magic Academy knew that there was a scroll geek in Bell Tower of Magic, who could draw 15 top-quality scrolls a day.

Another day later, the rumor changed again, from 13 to 14, and one day later, it became 15 again, until a week later, it stabilized at the terrifying fifteen per day.

This magic apprentice named Link is like a tireless monster.

Ten days later, Warwick received a total of 420 magic scrolls, of which 120 were written by Link, and the other 6 people only contributed 300. Link's workload alone was more than the two magic apprentices combined .

"It seems that it's not just narrowing the gap, it seems to be completing the order." Warwick carefully counted the number of finished magic scrolls and was completely shocked.

With a soft 'click', the door of the small room under the stairs opened again, and Link came out again holding a large magic scroll.

Warwick immediately put down the work at hand, walked up quickly, and took the scroll in Link's hand, with a smile on his face: "I'll come, I'll come, Link, I'm going to visit Moira's mentor's magic Ta bought some delicious food, go and eat."

Link is his baby now, so he must treat him well.

"Thanks." Link nodded, sat down at Warwick's table, and enjoyed the delicious food Warwick prepared with great care.

After eating, Warwick also checked the scrolls, and still passed them in one pass, and each one was top quality.

"I've been sitting for too long, I'm a little bored, I'm going to take a walk outside." Link said, this time it's not because of the agreement with Ailette, but because he recently came up with a super magic technique, which needs to go to Verola's magic tower Experiment in secret.

"Go, let's go, let's relax." Warwick's tone was extremely attentive.

Just three minutes after Link walked here, Draco walked into the magic tower, his face was still worried, and when he saw Warwick, he said, "What happened to the scroll?"

As a formal magician, Drake never mixed with magic apprentices, so he had never heard of the rumors circulating among the apprentices. More importantly, he was very busy these days. For the scroll, he Basically, he didn't stay at the Magic Academy, but found someone in Hegu Town to buy scrolls at a high price. He still had to find time to learn magic, and he had to find a way to earn enough money for magic experiments, which almost drove him crazy.

He tried his best, but the results are very effective. So far, he has only received 20 tickets.

There are still 10 days left. If it is really not possible, Drake can only pull his face and do it himself.

Unexpectedly, Warwick smiled all over his face: "Sir, things have turned around, and the gap has been filled."

"What's going on?" Draco was taken aback.

"Haven't you heard of it? A genius who draws scrolls came out of the magic tower." A magic apprentice next to him came up and said.

"Genius? Who is it?" Drake was even more confused.
