Chapter 44 Physical Training, Production Increase Program
The stars and the moon disappeared, the morning sun rose, and the light of the Lord of Glory spread across the earth. The peaceful town of Savile once again regained its vitality. However, a news that was circulated privately in the territory recently cast a heavy layer on this vitality.
shadow.
The orcs are coming?!
The memory of the Orc Tide ten years ago suddenly appeared in the minds of the people in the territory. They heard the news about the Orc Tide again. Many people who had experienced that disaster even heard the words "Orc Tide".
, then his hands and feet trembled.
If they could, no one would want to go through it again.
Some people sneaked out of the town and tipped off their family members in the villages outside the town. Of course, they did not dare to publicize it publicly. They just found some excuse to bring their family members to the town.
As long as they are within the protective range of the mage tower, the orcs will never be able to harm them.
Others yearned to make achievements and become big figures in the territory. From then on, they began to prepare, waiting for the lord's call.
Although they did not have sophisticated equipment, the belief in their hearts was enough for them to practice for half a day holding a one-handed sword that had been eliminated by the army.
People who knew the information were either afraid or afraid of the information, but they all chose to keep it secret.
And those who don't know are still drifting in the river of fate as usual.
…
Tower of Time.
Xia Duo woke up early in the morning, and as usual he read in the dim light to improve his mastery of Nese characters. When the light in the room became brighter, he went to the restaurant to get breakfast.
After arriving at the Arcane Garden, Shado chose physical training. When the orcs attacked, it was inevitable that these apprentices would be recruited into the army.
The shortcomings in physical fitness have been exposed, and naturally Xia Duo cannot let it go.
Therefore, under the puzzled looks of other apprentices, he calmly started running in the Arcane Garden, doing push-ups, sit-ups, high temperatures, scorching heat, and curious looks from others, Xia Duo overcame them one by one.
After resting, Sami came to him and said, "Xia Duo, are you exercising? Is this useful?"
Naturally, Xia Duo would not explain to him that there was a science on the earth before time travel called sports science. Although Xia Duo had not studied it, he had taken a lot of physical education classes. Although it was a little late to exercise now, it would be useless if he did not sharpen his skills before the battle.
Even if it only increases a little bit of speed, endurance, and increases the chance of survival, the current efforts are worth it.
However, after this period of time, Shado and Sami got along fairly well, and Shado was still willing to answer, "Sammy, if your team is scattered by orcs now, can you escape?"
"Of course you can't escape." Sammy said almost without thinking, "Orcs can run much faster than humans!"
"Yeah, then do you think the orcs will chase the fastest person?"
"This-" Sami had never studied orcs before, and was a little stunned for a moment.
"The bestiality manual in the library says that orcs have a violent personality and usually only attack the easiest targets. But no matter what, running fast and running for a long time is always an advantage."
After Xia Duo learned about the coming tide of orcs, he immediately went to the library to find some information. I would not say it was completely accurate, but at least he could have some reference.
As he just said, when encountering orcs, those who run faster and last longer than others have a greater chance of surviving.
The soldiers arranged by the Mage Tower to give tactical lessons to apprentices, even if they were wearing mail helmets and carrying a full set of weapons and equipment, would not necessarily run slower than them.
If the battle fails, they, the mage apprentices, are definitely the easiest ones to lose.
Physical training cannot be relaxed.
Of course, training must be moderate, otherwise wouldn’t it be more tragic if you get injured during training?
…
Sami was easily persuaded, and then Devine joined in and trained with Shado. These mage apprentices must not be fools if they were sent to the mage tower by their families.
After seeing the three official apprentices running around in the Arcane Garden and making some strange movements, the ordinary apprentices were also a little ready to move.
But before they could actually take action, the mage in charge of the Arcane Garden informed them of the news - the Arcane Garden was about to launch a temporary production increase plan, and all apprentices must follow the instructions of the tower spirit.
After that, nearly a hundred apprentices came to the Arcane Garden, and Xia Duo and the others had to stop their physical training and follow the instructions together with the other apprentices.
This was the largest number of apprentices Xia Duo had ever seen at the same time except during lunch time. Normally, there were not so many apprentices gathered together.
"Apprentice Xia Duo, responsible for harvesting wheat fields in East 8th District." Soon Talling's hollow and mechanical voice sounded in Xia Duo's ears.
Apart from this instruction, Xia Duo heard no other instructions. He glanced at the others and saw that they all had their own tasks. Xia Duo did not dare to delay and hurried to the wheat field in East 8th District.
…
In a space in the Mage Tower that ordinary people cannot reach, the entire arcane garden and all the apprentices inside are represented by a very complex point and line structure.
Suddenly, part of these points and lines in the structure suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light, but then dispersed to other points and lines in the structure.
The entire structure is much brighter than before.
And this scene appeared in front of Xia Duo, where clusters of wheat began to grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even those who had seen the miracle of one crop per week before could not help but be shocked by it at this moment.
This was much more powerful than spraying crops on earth. Xia Duo couldn't figure out whether this was time magic or some kind of ripening magic. It was really amazing.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but think too much. The hollow and mechanical urging voice of the tower spirit came to his ears, "Apprentice Xia Duo, please complete the harvest task as soon as possible."
Xia Duo rolled up his sleeves and started harvesting. On the other side of the wheat field in East Eighth District, an apprentice also started harvesting. At the same time, the people responsible for binding and transporting came over.
They pulled a simple wooden cart and followed the harvesters. Every time they harvested a handful, they picked up a handful and simply bundled them into a ball before putting them on the wooden cart.
The area that Xia Duo is responsible for is not that big, but he is a little unskilled in harvesting. The sickles provided by the mage tower are very different from those on the earth.
Not only does it not conform to the usage habits, the key is that it is not sharp, which makes Xia Duo, who is not very skilled in the first place, even more uncomfortable.
After finally completing the journey, Taling instructed him to transport the wheat with the wooden cart to the mill, where the freshly harvested wheat needed to be dried, threshed, ground, and screened before the final finished flour could be stored.
The mill is located next to a small river that crosses the Arcane Garden. The slowly flowing river water drives a simple transmission mechanism, causing the millstone to rotate on its own without the need for additional manpower or animal power.
As soon as Chateau arrived, the apprentices at the mill helped unload the wheat sheaves and then pulled the wooden cart away.
In this way, Xia Duo spent the whole morning going back and forth between the mill and the wheat fields in the East Eighth District. He had seen the magic of wheat growing like crazy again and again, so he was not surprised at all.
After finally making it to noon, Xia Duo felt that he didn't have the strength to walk on the way to the restaurant. He didn't know whether the crazy increase in production of the Mage Tower was for food or to give them apprentices some physical exercise.
