Chapter 375: Contest

Every night, the wizard uses meditation instead of sleep. They need to prepare spellcasting materials, communicate with the magic net, and create arcane spells. This is a profession with weird abilities but very limited, especially for low-level wizards.
As an alchemist, Fabro's greatest specialty is making a variety of magic items with excellent performance. For example, he can prepare ‘enchanted weapons’ and temporarily enchant weapons to make them more dangerous and lethal. The duration is one day.
"Although not as convenient as a constant enchanted weapon, a temporary enchanted weapon can also add magical damage to the attack, and the power is not low. This is both the specialty of our alchemist and the hatred of wizards."
Waking up overnight, Fabro prepared all his spell slots, and took the morning class for his newly recruited apprentice in the residence of the Witch Tower of the Broken Bridge.
In Cold Wind City, Fabro is the 'Alchemy Chief'. In Broken Bridge City, he continued to serve as the "Alchemy Chief" with his superb craftsmanship. It was only after Tambos and others left that he had to start training new apprentices again.
Although the new apprentices are more respectful to Fabro, they are not really useful, but they will cost him a lot of time, energy and material resources. It's not worth the trouble. Just teaching basic magic theory made him boring and impatient.
"Teacher, why do enchanted weapons hate wizards?" A new apprentice sat cross-legged in the classroom and raised his hand to ask, "Aren't we wizards powerful?"
The problem was too low-level, and Fabro's impatience increased by one point. He hates stupid apprentices, Tambos and others who are out of his control, and he hates Victor, who lost him badly. If it weren't for the latter, Hugo had five or six capable assistants.
Fabro also hated the riots in Cold Wind City, which forced him to be displaced. As a bereavement dog, Zhou Qingfeng showed no respect for the "Alchemist Chief", and once turned his face, he was expelled. It really violates the current social norms.
"Because the enchanted weapon can easily break the wizard's arcane defense, especially the enchanted arrows can threaten the wizard from dozens or even hundreds of yards, and it is even more annoying. Few wizards can cast arcane to more than twenty code."
Fabro's explanation made the new apprentices whisper in private, most of them came to the wizard's mysterious, rich and invincible image. But now the teacher has revealed a huge flaw of the wizard almost streaking in the face of the long-range enchanted arrows.
It is impossible to expect a wizard to hold up a shield like a warrior or to be as flexible as a thief. So for low-level wizards, staying away is the key to life. But the general arcane has a distance limit, and you can't hide too far if you want to attack the target.
Therefore, in general, a wizard will always add a ‘protected long-range weapon’ to himself. However, this is not effective for enchanting arrows. Unless a "protective magic weapon" is added, the six-level arcane duration is very short, and even lower-level wizards can't count on it.
What annoys the alchemists such as Fabro most is that because the school is standing, the alchemists cannot learn the arcane protection. This allows them to avoid a lot of simple and effective defenses when facing an attack, and it is best to hide as far as they can.
"Well, that's the end of today's class. I hope you can study hard." Fabro actually announced the class without saying a few words, because he would suddenly feel bad.
The new apprentices have long been accustomed to such a bad style of their teachers, and can only stand up and respectfully send Fablo to leave. However, before the "Alchemy Chief" stepped out of the classroom, a terrifying alarm bell sounded in the city.
Dangdang bells came from the east gate, which is the only way that Broken Bridge City connects the east of the north. The broken stone bridge collapsed in the glacier, and a wooden pontoon bridge was set up on the river.
On the towering sorcerer's tower, every floor has perfect living facilities. Fabro's classroom has a large balcony. He only needs to walk a few steps to overlook the city, but across a distance of hundreds of meters, this requires the eye of prophecy to see it clearly.
Fabro did not prepare hawk-eye surgery today, and he could not see anything on the tower. He found a bronze telescope that he had built, and only dimly saw someone running towards the east of the city. The situation outside the gate seemed very urgent.
"Go ask what happened?" Fabro turned and ordered. Immediately, two apprentices ran out of the classroom and rushed to hear the news from the teacher. The clearer who can listen, the more rewards they often get.
Fabro could only wait on the wizard's tower, and he couldn't figure out what would happen. The north has been very stable. In the past fifty years, except for the troubles in Cold Wind City, other places have been very calm.
Wait, Cold Wind City!
Cold Wind City is just east of Broken Bridge City.
A few days ago, the aristocracy in the city was still talking about the mobs and gangsters in Cold Wind City. No one cared. After all, fighting is very complicated, and fewer people are useless and more people are in trouble.
No one believes a group of untouchables can launch an expedition over a distance of hundreds of kilometers. Because the nobles made an analogy and felt that they couldn't figure it out, and the pariah was even more confused.
The rebels in Coldwind City should be content to occupy a city and wait for the nobles of the north to gather enough power to crush them into slag.
At that time, Fabro wanted to remind the nobles of Broken Bridge City not to despise Victor Hugo. He may not be able to launch a large-scale expedition, but it is still okay to lead dozens of people to sneak into the city. As he did in Cold Wind City.
But in the slow atmosphere of the aristocratic banquet at that time, Fabro closed his mouth wisely, lest he be alien, if the prediction is wrong, there is no reward. The prophecy was right, maybe it was hated.
After waiting for about half an hour, Fabro began to become more irritable. He tried Zhou Qingfeng's Shengguang Network in Cold Wind City. That information is always available and the response is extremely fast. Now knowing that something might happen, he seemed to be deaf and blind.
The chaos in the city became more and more intense, and a large number of troops turned to the gates and walls on the east. Fabrow finally waited for the news. The two apprentices rushed back to the classroom in panic, and shouted with pale expressions: "Teacher, Your Excellency Madison is dead, it ’s awful!
Madison?
The ‘Protection Chief’ of Broken Bridge City, a man who usually buzzes. Fabro was a little happy when he heard the death of the man, because the other party always mocked him for being driven out of the Cold Wind City by the pariah, and fled to Broken Bridge City like a falling dog. w
This guy is dead? Be happy!
But not right! Madison is the "Chief of Protection". He usually brags about how strong his protection is. He will not die if others die.
"How did Lord Madison die?" Fabro asked the point.
The two apprentices panted, and you alternately told me sentence by sentence: "A team of several hundred people came from the east of the city and directly captured our bridgehead on the east bank of the ice river. They set up a heavy crossbow and threatened us across the river The east gate.
Upon hearing the news, His Excellency Madison went to the city gate to strengthen his defense, but suddenly a few large crossbows were shot across from him, shot directly through his protection, and nailed him to the wall of the wall.
His Excellency Madison was too careless at that time, he only added a layer of defensive long-range weapons to the gate, but it was an enchanted crossbow that shot through his defense. "
Enchanted crossbow?
Fabro immediately thought of Victor Hugo, an alchemist who could temporarily enchant weapons. Could it be that the mob leader is on the east.
In fact, in the bridgehead position east of Broken Bridge City, more than a dozen heavy metal crossbows lined up. In the fierce cold wind, Fabro's disciple, Tambos, also an alchemist, looked coldly at the opposite wall.
On the same day Zhou Qingfeng captured Cold Wind City, the Wizarding Association in the city split. Fabro took most of the wizards and fled to Broken Bridge. Tambos summoned a small number of wizards to decide to serve Victor Hugo.
At this moment, the Northern War begins, and Tambos is on the front line of the war. He thought to himself, "Mr. Fabro, let's have a fight. See who's right?"
