Orida Fortress
To reinforce the Yabba race getting attacked up north, the entire defensive line went into action. Soldiers were brought over, and supplies were transported. As the core of the defensive line, the Orida Fortress was obviously the busiest. Everyone was up to their necks in work.
Of course, those matters had nothing to do with Link. He only had one task—to train Magicians and complete the Soul Slalom Magic Seal to combat the Dark Serpent.
The Orida Fortress contained three Mage Towers. The two subordinate towers were similar to the Mage Tower of the East Cove Higher Magic Academy. The main tower was practically equal to the Heaven’s Thorn Mage Tower.
There was a 300-square-foot garden between the three Mage Towers surrounded by a low wall. This was the Magicians’ independent area.
Link practiced the magic seal with the Magicians here.
One had to be at least Level-6 to join the magic seal, so most of them were High Elves. There were only five humans, including Link. The High Elves were honestly much more advanced in magic than humans.
The magic seal was very tedious. Every Magician had to multitask while operating it. While casting the spell, they must keep an eye on the Mana of the other Magicians at the same time and adjust their own Mana output accordingly.
The intensity of the training was like having a Magician continuously cast spells at the pinnacle of Level-6.
These tasks were practically beyond the limits of the Magicians and were tedious. However, this directly influenced the result of the battle, and there was no way to back out. Every Magician gritted their teeth and put in all their effort.
But even the strongest determination had a limit. On average, Magicians were physically weak as well. During training, Link paid attention to the physical state of each Magician. Once someone approached their limit, he would immediately end training for the day and take a break.
Every Magician in the Soul Slalom was precious and indispensable.
The result was that Link could only train them for three hours per day.
After each session, the Magicians were all exhausted. They would hurriedly cast a healing spell for themselves and sleep like the dead as soon as they returned to their rooms.
High Elf Princess Milda and Level-7 Magician Romilson were slightly better but not by much. They went to bed early to save energy. In actuality, they had to sleep 16 hours every day.
Only Link would be left.
Before this, he would be like Milda and the others, but it was different now. After receiving the Dragon Power, Link’s vitality was extremely high. This training was just like a warmup for him.
After training for three hours, there was still much of the day left. What should he do?
Naturally, he started studying magic books.
Link had many books and scrolls at hand. The most valuable were the Wonders of Space from the Night King and Bryant’s Revelations Scroll IV rewarded by the system.
With Link’s current strength, it was difficult to improve in regards to spatial magic. On the other hand, Bryant’s Revelations Scroll gave him many benefits.
After weighing the choices, Link focused his attention on Bryant’s Revelations Scroll. He became obsessed as soon as he started. After training ended each day, he would return to the Mage Tower and start reading the scroll. He would read for 15 hours per day, sleep six hours, and be filled with energy the next day.
There wasn’t much content in one scroll. Because of his endless energy, Link could maintain his thought operation at the highest level.
He finished the scroll two days later.
The technique explained in this scroll is so interesting. If I cast spells using this, the power of the spell increases by at least 50 percent and the speed rises by five percent too. It’s like having a high-quality wand.
Link was very satisfied. There were still some things that he hadn’t completely understood. He didn’t have anything else to do and had so much energy, so he just read through casually, absorbing the wisdom of the Legendary Magician.
This would definitely be torture for the average man, but to Link, it was relaxing.
While reading, someone knocked on the door. Link could tell who it was by the aura. He activated the Magician’s Hand and opened the door.
Dressed in an officer’s leather armor, Princess Annie stood prettily by the door. She saluted to Link casually and asked with a smile, “Master Magician, are you busy?”
