Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 213: The Ambition of a High-End Force

Just like this apprentice’s dormitory.

Its exterior decoration was exquisite and elegant, almost comparable to a Kant fortress-level room.

And the people living here were only mage apprentices, the lowest level of mages. From this, one could see that the strength of the Enfath Empire was fully reflected.

Rustling sounds could be heard from inside the door.

There seemed to be someone inside.

Soon, the door was opened. Five mage apprentices holding magic staffs, wearing gray mage robes and mage hats, quickly walked out and stood respectfully in a row.

They lowered their heads and bowed with their hands on their chests. “I’m especially happy to see you, my Lord.”

“Me too.” Kant smiled and nodded in response to their salute.

However, looking at these five mage apprentices, his brows slightly raised. According to his observations, these five mage apprentices looked like they were all young people in their twenties. Although their faces were firm and respectful, they were still young and tender.

Perhaps it was because they had stayed in the Mage Tower for too long that all of them were fair and tender. Their skin was even better than that of women.

Being young did not represent vitality.

Compared to those elite troop class that were all middle-aged, these young mage apprentices did not give Kant much of a sense of reliability. Especially with their identity as apprentices, they even greeted him in terms of combat strength.

He understood the MOD of the wind of war. Mage apprentices were not a high-level troop class in the first place.

“What do you know?”

After pondering for a moment, Kant still opened his mouth to ask.

The five apprentices looked at each other. They all looked shy.

In the end, the apprentice in the middle took half a step forward, he introduced himself to Kant, “My lord, we are all excellent apprentices who have studied at the Mage Tower for ten years. We have a solid grasp of all kinds of magic theories and knowledge. There are three types of spells that we have learned.”

Kant nodded and looked at these young apprentices with a smile and encouraged them, “Very well, continue.”

The apprentice was encouraged and showed a grateful expression.

After organizing his words, he continued, “The spells that we have mastered are magic bullet, which is a single-target offensive spell, Fireball, which is an area-of-effect explosion and a continuous burning spell, and sharp golden blade, which is a status spell that can enchant the weapons of soldiers for a short period of time to produce a sharp effect.”

“Magic Bullet, Fireball, Sharp Golden Blade.” Kant concluded these three spells.

“That’s right.” The mage apprentices nodded.

Kant smiled. “Very good.”

The five mage apprentices immediately beamed with joy. Obviously, Kant’s praise made them very happy.

Indeed, they were all apprentices who had just walked out of the Mage Tower.

Their personalities were still very pure.

Kant shook his head. After experiencing a few brutal battles and leveling up to an official mage, these pure apprentices would put away their silly and sweet feelings and become battle mages who could adapt to any battlefield.

However, Kant seemed to have thought of something.

He pondered for a moment and asked them, “Then what is the daily limit of your spells?”

“Oh, it’s like this.”

The mage apprentice immediately replied, “We can use five magic bullets, three fireballs, and two sharp golden blades per day. If we have mana replenishment, we can use them multiple times. There is no limit.”

“Okay.” Kant nodded. “I got it.”

He did not have mana replenishment at the moment.

According to the Mage Apprentice, he could cast ten spells per day.

It was indeed useless in a cruel battle.

To be honest, Kant was a little disappointed, but he did not show it. He still had a faint smile on his face. He casually chatted with these five wizard apprentices, making them feel like a spring breeze, he was so grateful that he seemed to have met the most important confidant and mentor in his life. His gaze became extremely respectful.

Although Kant was young, his mental age was close to 40 years old.

In his past life and this life.

In addition to the training of the Dukedom of Leo, he could be considered as a veteran in the officialdom.

Compared to these young apprentices who had just left the mage tower, their differences were like that between heaven and earth. In terms of power and trickery, he could sell these guys and let them count their own money.

Of course, due to the constant loyalty of the system, these mage apprentices would not betray Kant.

Through communication, Kant also understood the power of these three spells.

The magic bullet spell was commonly known as the magic missile.

It was condensed with magic power and was triggered by a magic staff that had a magic circle engraved on it. It had a range of 100 meters, and its speed was similar to a rock thrown by a catapult. It was the size of a fist, but because it was in accordance with the rules of the world, the power it produced was not small. It was similar to a blunt blow, it was like a heavy blow with a two-handed hammer. Even if an ordinary soldier had a shield and armor to protect them, they would still be severely injured.

The fireball spell was not much different from Kant’s impression of magic. It did not matter if it was called an explosive fireball.

These mage apprentices condensed fire elements and compressed them before they were also activated with their magic staffs. Their range was only a little less than 80 meters, and their speed was even slower than the magic bullet spell. However, as long as they hit the enemy, a violent explosion would occur and they would turn into a raging sea of fire, they would cause double and continuous damage to the enemy, similar to the combination of a grenade and a burning bomb.

As for the Sharp Metal Blade, it was a status spell.

This was a spell that was completely different from the game in the wind of war.

It seemed that the system had combined the rules of this world. The sharp metal spell became a spell that increased the status of the surrounding soldiers. The range was about 10 meters. As long as it was cast, the magic elements would gather on the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, it would make melee weapons such as swords, blades, and spears sharper, causing more casualties to the enemy.

“Overall, it’s not bad.”

Kant muttered in his heart.

Although the mage apprentices seemed to be of little value at the moment, and they would lose their ability to fight if they cast all their spells, they could still level up.

When the experience points were up, they would be able to level up if they paid denar.

It was not like they had to think hard in reality and learn for decades before they could level up to a higher level wizard.

If they followed the MOD of wind of war and leveled up to a wizard and a great wizard, then they would really be called Mages in fantasy works. Moreover, this title was simply living up to its name!

For example, the strongest great wizard.

Not only could they cast spells from thousands of meters away, they could also cast lightning strikes, frost, and flames.

He could also summon activated weapons and natural elements. One person was almost equal to an army. With a few great mages standing together, he could summon an army to pounce on them. With the addition of offensive spells, his combat strength was simply ridiculously strong!

Kant, who had an enemy, naturally did not lack exp to level up.

Even if he had not fallen out with the stone pass and the Dukedom of Leo yet, there was no ready-made enemy troops to fight.

But the enchanted creatures in the Senwaya range were ready-made.

With Aaron’s village as the center, with the Ravenston Ranger leading the team and Rhodoks’s veteran spear-wielding as the guard, they went to the various mountains with these mage apprentices to look for the enchanted creatures to gain experience. Their leveling speed would definitely not be too slow.

Kant could afford to wait for these mage apprentices to grow up.

Through the mind communication system, Kant used up the recruitment quota for one mage apprentice this week.

The six mage apprentices stood in a row.

“Continue to study.”

Kant waved his hand, indicating for them to return to their own dormitories.

Although this dormitory looked like it was only 50 square meters in size, Kant only found out after entering that the space was very large. It was like using some kind of space folding technique. Just counting the rooms, the living room was 100 square meters, both sides were piled with all kinds of books. It could be considered a small apartment.

Moreover, the decoration was extremely exquisite and elegant. Even if it was not as luxurious as the royal family, it was still something that only wealthy people could afford. At the very least, Kant believed that his room at the fortress level would fall behind this dormitory.

The Enfath Empire was indeed powerful. There was nothing that could be done about it.

After all, the ultimate troop class of this empire was the Titan that controlled the spear of lightning.

In terms of combat strength, it had already crushed the Swadian Knight. In other words, there was no comparison between the two.

There was no way to compare history and the fantasy world.

Combined with this world, which was also the rules of this fantasy world, once the Titan appeared in this world, it would probably be comparable to the legendary era of the gods. It was already beyond the scope of understanding of mortals!

At the very least, Kant could not imagine how terrifying the troops formed by Titan sand the Archmages were!

Of course, this was just a random thought.

Kant visited the apprentice’s dormitory, then turned around and left. He walked towards the high-level watchtower that was about 40 meters tall. He planned to walk along the spiral stairs to the top and look at the surrounding scenery.

This building that occupied the highest point really deserved to be called the watchtower.

After climbing for more than 20 minutes, Kant arrived at the top of the tower.

The two-meter-tall tower only had a space of about two square meters.

It was being guarded by three Vaegir marksmen. When they saw Kant coming up, they immediately wanted to salute him.

“Continue to be vigilant.”

Kant reached out his hand to stop them from bowing.

At such a high distance, the air did not become cooler. On the contrary, it was still rather stuffy due to the sun’s rays.

Especially when he looked down from the open window, the entire “Drondheim” castle had turned into a small matchbox. Kant’s breathing could not help but quicken a little. The feeling of being high up in the sky and losing the firm ground, he couldn’t help but withdraw his gaze and look into the distance before it eased up.

A few teams of desert bandits were patrolling along the predetermined route. Small black spots could be seen clearly in the desert.

There was only one color in the Nahrin desert.

That was khaki.

Any abnormal color was a stranger. If the abnormal colors were gathered together, it would be an unfamiliar team. This was the recognition that the Vaegir marksman responsible for observation and the discerning ability to be consciously organized.

If they had a large telescope or astronomical telescope, they might be able to identify friend or foe.

Kant was also deep in thought.

After all, the technology to make a telescope was actually not difficult. As long as one was a skilled craftsman, after a few months of careful processing, they would be able to polish the lenses.

The difficult part was to find a flawless, large transparent gem.

After all, if one wanted to make a telescope without the glass making and purification technology, they would have to rely on these natural creations.

“Let’s talk about it later.”

Kant shook his head regretfully. With his current strength, he really could not make a telescope.

However, if he were to draw a lottery in the system, he might be able to get one.

In the modern MOD series, there were many tools like telescopes. For example, the World War II MOD had military telescopes that were specially designed for snipers.

However, Kant had never unlocked an army with modern firearms due to the rules or the system’s own restrictions.

It was just a joke to imagine that if a World War II army equipped with the M-1 Galand semi-automatic rifle could be established, Kant would dare to take down this world, let alone the Dukedom of Leo.

The emergence of hot weapons in the era of cold weapon too was out of balance.

It was the same even in the fantasy world.
