Generally, every night, wizards use meditation instead of sleep. They need to prepare spellcasting materials, communicate with the magic network, and shape arcane spells. This is a profession with strange abilities but extremely restrictions, especially for low-level wizards.
As an alchemist, Fabbro's greatest specialty is making various magical items with excellent performance. For example, he can prepare 'enchanted weapons' and temporarily enchant the weapons to make them more dangerous and deadly, which lasts for one day.
"Although not as convenient as permanently enchanted weapons, temporarily enchanted weapons can also add magic damage to attacks, and their power is not low at all. This is not only the specialty skill of our alchemists, but also the hatred of wizards."
After waking up one night, Fabro prepared all his spell slots and gave morning lessons to his new apprentice in the residence of the Wizard Tower in Broken Bridge City.
In Cold Wind City, Fabbro was the 'Alchemy Chair'. When he arrived in Broken Bridge City, he continued to serve as the 'Alchemy Chair' with his high skill. However, after Tambos and others left, he had to start training new apprentices again.
.
Although the new apprentices are more respectful to Fabbro, they are of little use and cost him a lot of time, energy and material resources. No matter how you calculate it, the gain outweighs the loss. Just teaching basic magic theory makes him boring.
And impatient.
"Teacher, why are enchanted weapons hated by wizards?" A new apprentice sat cross-legged under the class and raised his hand to ask, "Aren't we wizards very powerful?"
The question was too low-level, and Fabbro's impatience increased. He hated the stupid apprentices, hated Tempos and others who were out of his control, and even more hated Victor Hugo, who had caused him heavy losses - if it weren't for the latter
, he also has five or six capable assistants.
Fabbro hated the riots in Cold Wind City even more, which forced him to become homeless, like a lost dog. Zhou Qingfeng had no respect for the ‘Alchemy Seat’, and once he turned against them, he would expell them wholesale. It really goes against the current social norms.
"Because enchanted weapons can easily break through the arcane defense of wizards, especially enchanted arrows that can pose a threat to wizards from dozens or even hundreds of yards away, which is even more annoying. Not many wizards can cast arcane spells over twenty
code."
Fabbro's explanation caused the new apprentices to whisper privately. Most of them came for the wizard's mysterious, wealthy and invincible image. But now the teacher revealed a huge flaw of the wizard - facing long-range enchanted arrows.
Almost naked.
It is impossible to expect a wizard to raise a shield like a warrior or be as mobile as a thief. Therefore, for low-level wizards, staying far away is the key to saving lives. However, general arcane spells have distance limitations, and it is difficult to attack the target.
You can't hide too far.
Therefore, ordinary wizards will always add a 'Protective Remote Weapon' to themselves in battle. However, this trick is ineffective for enchanted arrows. Unless a 'Protective Magic Weapon' is added, the duration of these six-level arcane spells is very short and low-level.
Let alone wizards.
What annoys Fabbro and other alchemists the most is that because of the conflict between schools, alchemists cannot learn the protection arcana. This leaves them without many simple and effective defense methods when facing attacks. It is best to dodge.
Hide as far as you can.
"Okay, that's the end of today's class. I hope you can study hard." Fabbro actually announced the end of get out of class without saying a few words, because his mood suddenly became worse.
The new apprentices had long been accustomed to their teacher's bad style, so they could only stand up and send Fabbro off respectfully. However, before the 'Alchemy Seat' could walk out of the classroom, a terrifying alarm bell suddenly sounded in the city.
The clanging bells came from the direction of the east city gate, which is the only way for Broken Bridge City to connect to the east of the North. The broken stone bridge collapsed into the glacier, and a wooden pontoon bridge was erected on the river.
.
In the towering Wizard's Tower, each floor has complete living facilities. Fabbro's classroom has a large balcony. He only needs to take a few steps to overlook the whole city, but there are hundreds of meters away.
The distance requires the eagle eye technique of prophecy to see clearly.
Fabbro didn't prepare the eagle eye technique today, so he couldn't see anything on the tower. He found a bronze telescope he made himself, and he could only vaguely see people in the city running towards the east of the city. The situation outside the city gate seemed to be quite urgent.
of.
"Go and ask what happened?" Fabbro turned around and ordered. Immediately, two apprentices ran out of the classroom, rushing to find out the information from the teacher. Whoever can find out more clearly can often get some rewards.
Fabbro could only wait on the Wizard's Tower. He could not imagine what unexpected situation would happen. The Northland had always been stable. In the past fifty years, except for the turmoil in Coldwind City, other places had been very peaceful.
Wait..., Cold Wind City!
Cold Wind City is just east of Broken Bridge City.
A few days ago, the nobles in the city were still joking about whether the mob and thieves from Cold Wind City would come over. At that time, no one cared. After all, fighting is quite complicated. It is useless if there are fewer people, but it is troublesome if there are too many people.
.
No one believed that a group of untouchable armed forces had the ability to launch an expedition across a distance of hundreds of kilometers. Because the nobles made an analogy and felt that even they themselves could not handle it, and the untouchables could not handle it even more.
The rebels in Coldwind City should be content to occupy a city and wait for the northern nobles to gather enough strength to crush them into scum.
At that time, Fabro wanted to remind the nobles of Broken Bridge City that they should not underestimate Victor Hugo. He may not be able to launch a large-scale expedition, but it is still possible to lead dozens of people to attack the city. Just like
The same thing he did in Cold Wind City.
But in the scornful atmosphere of the aristocratic banquet at that time, Fabbro wisely kept his mouth shut to avoid becoming an outlier - if his prediction was wrong, there would be no reward. If his prediction was right, he might even be hated by others.
After waiting for about half an hour, Fabro began to become more irritable. He tried Zhou Qingfeng's Holy Light Network in Cold Wind City, and it was really easy to grasp the information at any time and respond extremely quickly. But now he knew clearly that something big might have happened, but he
Like a deaf and blind man.
The chaos in the city became more and more intense, and a large number of troops turned to the city gate and wall to the east. Fabbro finally received the news - the two apprentices rushed back to class in panic, and shouted at the same time with pale faces: "Teacher
, Mr. Madison is dead, and he died miserably!"
Madison?
The 'protective mat' of Broken Bridge City, a person who usually makes a fool of himself. Fabbro was actually a little happy when he heard the news of this man's death, because the other party always laughed at him for being driven out of Cold Wind City by untouchable armed forces, and fled like a drowned dog.
Arrive at Broken Bridge City.
This guy is actually dead? Very happy!
But..., that's not right! Madison is a 'protective mat'. He always brags about how strong his protection is. He will not die even if others die.
"How did Mr. Madison die?" Fabbro asked the key point.
The two apprentices were panting, and you told me alternately: "A team of several hundred people came from the east of the city and directly captured our bridgehead on the east bank of the glacier. They set up heavy crossbows and threatened us across the river.
The east city gate.
When Sir Madison heard the news, he went to the city gate to strengthen his defense, but suddenly several large crossbow bolts were fired from the opposite side, directly piercing his defense and nailing him to the crenellations of the city wall.
Sir Madison was too careless at that time and only added a layer of 'defensive long-range weapons' before going up to the city gate, but it was an enchanted crossbow bolt that shot through his defense."
Enchanted crossbow bolt?
Fabbro immediately thought - Victor Hugo is an alchemist who can temporarily enchant weapons. Could it be that the mob leader is to the east.
In fact, in the bridgehead position east of Broken Bridge City, more than a dozen metal heavy crossbows were lined up. In the fierce cold wind, Fabro's disciple, Tambos, who was also an alchemist, looked coldly at the opposite side.
city ​​wall.
On that day, Zhou Qingfeng captured Cold Wind City, and the wizard association in the city split. Fabbro took most of the wizards away and fled to Broken Bridge City. Tempos, on the other hand, gathered a small number of wizards and decided to serve Victor Hugo.
Chapter completed!
