Chapter 254: Trip to the North
I heard Yersin speaking so strongly.
Brand couldn't help but sympathize with Lolea.
——When she meets such a husband, she will probably have more headaches in the future.
After chatting for a while about the wedding and gifts, Yersin talked about some future arrangements.
"You're going to have a holiday over there too. When the time comes, the eldest master is going to take us two to the northern border to adapt to the environment and see the orcs." When Brand heard that he was
going to the north during the holiday, he was a little surprised at first, and then quickly became Eager to try.
If he went to a chaotic area to suppress bandits like last time, he would probably be more resistant.
But if it's going to the north, Brand has some expectations.
——He will definitely participate in the Pioneering War, so it would be good to go to the Northland in advance to adapt to the environment and see the orcs.
At this time, Yersen said again:
"This time I will bring my personal guards with me. I heard that you have also recruited your subordinates. If your subordinates also want to participate in the pioneering war, they can also come together this time. Bring them there to see the real battlefield.
In addition, several other allied families may also bring their descendants to the north, so this should be regarded as a gathering exercise for our pioneering army.
I am also curious about the strength of the descendants of other families. Level, this time it’s time to meet and get to know each other.”
Hearing what Yersin said, the look of anticipation in Brand’s eyes became even stronger.
Because the Cecil and Claude families are in the North, there is a high probability that Andy and Finn will also participate in this trip to the North.
Then I can go and ask them about the situation on the northern border.
There is also the library.
It was also time for the seniors who wanted to join the war to sign up with him.
It is also time to prepare various war supplies such as spell scrolls, alchemy potions, equipment, magic pockets, etc.
After that, Yersin talked to Brand about his personal guards.
About a year ago, after Mr. Holland told them about the advance of the pioneering war, Yersen was already starting to form a personal guard.
However, he was still relatively poor at that time, so the scale of the personal guard he formed was small, and the equipment used were ordinary goods.
And since he took a walk around the chaotic area last time, he suddenly became rich.
Not only has the size of the Guards been expanded, but its equipment has also been upgraded.
After hearing Yersin show off his "guards", Brand actually wanted to share his "Library Mage Group" with him.
But as he spoke, he recalled that today was Yersin's wedding.
After comprehensive consideration, Brand finally decided not to talk about the matter today, lest Yersin would be too sore to sleep after hearing about it.
Because it was already late, even though Yersin wanted to talk about other things for a while, Brand took the initiative to end the call.
——If he talks any more, he is worried that Luolaiya will get angry and fight with Yersen.
After closing the empty screen and putting it into the space necklace, Brand began to think about tomorrow's arrangements.
——The rune circle will take a few days to be completed, but preparations for the trip to the north during the holidays should be made as early as possible.
…
Early the next morning, Brand summoned the college’s library members.
Because he was going to the Northland during the holidays, Brand formally began to ask these seniors about their willingness to participate in the pioneering war.
What is somewhat surprising but also reasonable is that
none of these seniors have any intention of avoiding the fight.
——Graduates of the Mage Academy have the obligation to respond to the signs of war. They cannot refuse the first war call launched by the empire, otherwise they will have to pay a large amount of magic gold coins.
Therefore, they were mentally prepared to participate in the war.
Although this is the case, Brand still gave the restrictions for participating in the war:
"Only the strength of a senior mage apprentice can participate in this trip to the north during the semester. Those who do not have this strength should practice hard during the vacation. One year
later In the pioneering war, one must reach the level of formal mage strength before they can participate in the war. Those who do not have that strength can stay at the rear and continue to practice."
As soon as Brand said this, all the senior students had different expressions.
Although most of them are confident that they can become official mages before the Pioneering War, there are also some lower-grade seniors who are now only intermediate mage apprentices.
If you want to become an official mage within a year, you have to work hard.
After talking about the matter of opening up the war, Brand announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Then, he left the college and went to the library station.
Some time ago, Kris had already led her merchant guild to purchase a batch of raw materials for making knight golems.
The manufacturing of various common parts has also been outsourced to blacksmiths.
——The Knight Golem is already in the mass production stage.
At this point in time, all senior students with official mage abilities in the library are involved in the mass production of knight golems.
The first to be produced were the high-level knight golems used by the library members themselves.
"Based on the efficiency of the few of us, we can produce about five high-level knight golems every day. If there are more, the quality cannot be guaranteed." After briefly understanding the production situation of the
knight golems, Brand understood clearly. nod.
Compared with the junior knight golem, the advanced knight golem actually exerts stronger power.
——The action patterns of both are equally rigid.
In terms of real combat effectiveness, an ordinary well-trained junior knight would have a chance to knock him down.
This is also the reason why several elders are not interested in this thing.
However, this can be regarded as a "convenient and portable" combat capability.
You can usually throw the space bag, but if you encounter any special situation, you can just throw it out to play a certain role.
After that, Brand talked about the trip to the north during the semester break.
He planned to equip each senior who participated in this operation with two high-level knight golems.
——For mages with weak bodies, the Knight Golem still has many uses.
The other thing is the matter of material procurement.
Although he had spent a large amount of money on the Knight Golem, Brand still had plenty of magic gold coins.
Because the price of awakening potions has increased during this period, his daily income has also increased a lot compared to before.
Considering that the prices of various war supplies will definitely continue to rise, Brand is going to let several senior students buy some when they are free.
As for the senior students, they were a little surprised when they saw the funds Brand handed over to them.
"Isn't this a little too much?"
Brand shrugged and said:
"Buy more and keep it, and throw it away in the warehouse if you don't use it up.
I really don't have any shortage of magic gold coins now, and the knight golem will also bring me a lot of income in the future.
And if the war starts later, who knows what supplies Will the price rise to sky-high prices, or will it simply be out of stock?"
Speaking of material issues, Brand recalled the matter of commercial trade with other countries that was raised at the war conference.
After briefly recalling it, Brand added:
"There should be chambers of commerce from other countries coming to the imperial capital in the future. Then you can make contact and see if there are any needed supplies."
