Above the mage!

Chapter 92: A Visit from the Capital
According to Gao De's expectation, from the time the message was conveyed to the time the higher-ups received the message, made a decision, and then dispatched personnel, plus the time for travel, it would take some time before support from the royal capital arrived.

But in fact, it's not.

at dusk.

It was less than two hours since Godard received the specific information from Pierre.

A buzzing sound with a fixed frequency came from far away and gradually approached over the city of Bremen.

The sound was so loud that Gode, like most of the residents of Bremen, subconsciously stuck his head out to check what was going on.

Either open the door or the window and look up.

A terrifying behemoth was now emerging from the clouds and appearing in the sky above Bremen.

All the Bremen people, including Godd, who looked up to find the source of the sound, opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at what appeared in the sky.

It was an airship.

An airship that most Bremen people had never seen before was suddenly hovering more than 200 meters in the air.

The flat and streamlined shape of the airship can minimize wind resistance.

The long and narrow boat is more than three hundred meters long, shining with silver light, and covered with dense magical patterns.

These patterns are complex and mysterious; they are the soul of the airship and give it extraordinary power.

Seen from below, it looks like a silver fish with strange patterns swimming in the sea of ​​clouds.

Two ailerons extend from both sides of the hull, like elegant bird wings, providing additional lift and maneuverability for the airship.

There are huge propeller thrusters installed at the tail of the airship and on the two ailerons.

At the tail of the airship, the emblem of the Principality of Sean is painted.

The deep humming sound with a fixed frequency came from the propeller.

They are constantly spinning, stirring up gusts of air and causing the surrounding clouds to roll like waves in the sea.

Obviously, this is an airship from the city of Saint Sean.

As for the purpose, it is obvious and needs no further explanation.

In short, this was the first time for many Bremen people to see a large alchemical creation like an "airship" in their lives.

It can also be said that it has benefited from the "new earth veins".

The arrival of the airship made the whole city of Bremen boil.

The residents of Bremen were calling out to each other to come out and see the big scene.

And the airship just hovered quietly over the city square of Bremen, motionless.

A few minutes later, a large number of fully armed Bremen City Guards rushed to the city square.

The city guard officer, with a serious face, ordered the soldiers to evacuate the crowd near the city square, and sent personnel to block off a small area near the city square and set up barriers.

Then, several temporary, fixed anchor points were set up in the Civic Square.

After all this is done, a signal is sent to the airship above.

After receiving the signal, the personnel on the airship immediately threw several huge ropes out of the airship.

After receiving the huge mooring rope dropped by the airship, the personnel on the ground began to get busy.

They will connect these mooring ropes to temporary anchor points set up on the ground.

After all this was done, the airship began to release the gas in the compartment airbag and slowly descended at a steady speed.

As the airship lowered its altitude, its shadow grew larger, casting a large shadow that almost covered the entire city square.

Fortunately, the crowd had retreated to a safe distance under the guidance of the city guards.

The airship finally landed smoothly, and the dull humming sound of the propeller gradually subsided.

With a roar, the hatch on the side of the airship slowly opened. Then, a wizard wearing a dark robe and holding a staff slowly walked out.

His robes were embroidered with intricate and delicate runes, which contained powerful magical powers.

The top of the staff in his hand, which was made of unknown material, was inlaid with a dazzling ruby.

A miniature vortex of magic spins in the center of the gem, which can greatly enhance the magician's spellcasting.

There is no doubt that this is a powerful high-level wizard.

In the square, the deputy mayor of Bremen had been waiting for a long time. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master Frey."

Mage Frey waved his hand and said, "Prepare the supplies and issue the call for action overnight. Everything must be ready tonight. I will set off for the Hogan Leyline tomorrow."

'Hogan's Ground' is the name given to this new ground by the Principality of Sean.

In the evening, when the pocket watch showed a quarter past seven, there was a knock on Gode's door.

When he opened the door, he found that the people standing at the door were Bremen city official staff in uniform.

In Gaode's doubts, the official staff expressed their purpose:
The authorities are preparing to carry out the first wave of large-scale hunting and cleaning of the leyline creatures emerging from the Hogen leyline tomorrow. Due to the shortage of manpower, a call for all the mages in the city to actively participate is issued.

In today's defensive battle, Gao De, as one of the mage apprentices participating in the battle, was the first person to be considered for conscription.

"You just need to follow the city guards and hunt the creatures outside the range of the earth veins. Master Saint Sean will be in charge of the interior?" Godde confirmed.

"Of course, otherwise how can we expect you mage apprentices to accomplish anything great?" The staff member said as a matter of course. Although his words were impolite, there was no intention of mockery.

After hearing this, Gao De was a little hesitant.

This call-up order is different from the one this morning, which only requires defending on the city walls, but requires real fighting in the wild forests.

Even if a large force is dispatched under official organization and can take care of each other, the risk factor is still high.

Originally, according to Gaode's idea, he had to ensure that his magic power was at least enough to cast ten or more tricks before considering going out on an adventure.

But this opportunity is really rare.

Since it is organized by the authorities, there will definitely be officials sending people to lead the team. With so many eyes watching, at least there is no need to worry too much about being framed by your companions.

Moreover, there are people who can take care of each other, and they are all mages. Gaode can fully use this opportunity to accumulate combat experience in the wild and against earth creatures, and use this opportunity to accumulate origin.

"This is not a free call. The government pays to hire all non-official wizards." Seeing that Gao De seemed to be still hesitating, the staff member emphasized again.

"Second-class wizard apprentice, insufficient mana to cast ten cantrips, 5 gold coins per day."

"Enough mana to cast more than ten cantrips, 10 gold coins a day."

"A third-class mage apprentice will receive 15 gold coins a day, and all remuneration will be settled on the same day." The staff member announced the remuneration.

"But there will be no extra rewards, and the hunted leyline creatures will become official property."

This is also reasonable. After all, the government invests money and manpower, and also has to ensure logistics, so naturally it owns the spoils.

What's more, without official support, there is no way to transport the underground creatures hunted in the wild back to the city for sale.

"Okay, I'll participate." After some consideration, Gao De decided to participate in this call.

There is no doubt that he will have to hunt underground creatures to obtain the origin in the future. It is impossible for him to "survive" like this forever.

And in a world where extraordinary power is vested in oneself, battles and dangers are inevitable.

He must accumulate relevant experience to adapt to this world.

Besides, the origin is rare, and he has no reason to miss this great opportunity!
There will be many people around and it will be a test of his timing and eyesight to "grab the head".

Moreover, in Gaode's opinion, few of the mages who received this summons would choose not to participate.

"Gather at Blackhorn Square at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late." The staff nodded, handed a copy of the call order to Gao De, and instructed.
