Chapter 527 The Horse Thief
Joan calmed down his excitement, and wrote the "Transfiguration" analyzed from the "Ogre Power Potion" into his spell book.
It's a pity that you have to be promoted to a level 7 mage at least to learn this powerful 4th-level spell, and he is only a small 4-level mage now, so he can only copy it down first, as his mid-term goal, to provide for his long and arduous school career. some motivation.
"Transfiguration" is in his spell book. As long as he continues to improve, he will have the opportunity to learn this great and wonderful spell in the future. In order to achieve this small goal, he can grit his teeth and persist no matter how hard it is!
After copying the spell, Joan opened the storage bag before he fell asleep, took out the bottle of magic crystal and three pieces of enchanting embryos that Casio gave him just now, and started the first round of enchanting processing.
Shrek's "Wisdom Necklace", Casio's "Charm Necklace", and Clark's "Power Belt", although the materials are different, they actually belong to the same type of magic device.
The "secondary gorgeous belt" that Joan wears next to him can be described as a masterpiece of this type of "attribute-enhanced magic tool". Its enchanting process can be copied to the three magic tools he is currently working on. No difficulty for him.
Joan first dipped a quill pen into "Deep Sea Squid Ink", and successively drew the No. 23 rune Daeg on the collar, necklace and belt. Using this magical rune as the carrier of enchantment, he successively painted the No. 23 rune Daeg on the three magic items. Adding "Cunning Fox", "Majesty of Eagle" and "Power of Bull" to the guide will increase intelligence, charisma and strength attributes by 2 points respectively.
With Joan's current spellcasting ability, it is necessary to repeatedly enchant these three magic tools 9 times to make the improved physical attributes take effect permanently. The first round of enchanting just completed exhausted his "Sid's mana". Casting the spell also made him feel mentally exhausted, so tired that he couldn't help yawning.
It was getting dark at night, and Joan decided to divide the next enchanting work into eight days to complete. Anyway, there is plenty of free time during the journey, so there is no need to be too nervous.
After relaxing, Joan realized that the half-plane he lived in had lost the sound of conversation, and was replaced by snoring, high or low, one after another like a chorus. Looking back, Clark, Shrek, and Casio had all got into their sleeping bags, wrapped in sleeping bags. Put on a blanket and sleep soundly.
Infected by the sound of his companion's snoring, Joan couldn't help but yawned twice. He forced himself to close the book, put away the stationery and enchanting materials, and planned to hurry up and sleep. However, at this moment, horse neighing suddenly came from outside the invisible window of the demiplane, as well as noisy footsteps and shouts came along with the wind.
Joan was taken aback, lost all sleepiness, and rushed to the window to look down.
Under the bright moonlight, a group of hazy figures were running over from the woods on the opposite side of the river beach. These people all held battle axes or short spears in their hands, shouting excitedly, and went straight to the stake where Joan and his horses were tied. Surrounding them, the two horses neighed in fright.
Qiao An took a closer look under the moonlight and found that there were more than twenty people in this group of uninvited guests, all of them were wearing rough and untanned animal skin clothes and pants, none of them was less than six feet tall, all of them were strong in physique and behaved brutally.
At first, Joan thought they were indigenous Asa hunters living in the forest, but after a closer look, he found that although they looked like humans, they had obvious differences: gray-green complexion, thick body hair, and wolf-like ears And a pair of fierce scarlet eyes, fangs sticking out of the corners of their lips and ugly "upturned noses" make their faces even more ferocious, looking a bit like wild boars.
Joan is no stranger to this ugly appearance, whether in real life or in the "Wares Monster Illustrated Book", he has witnessed it more than once.
That's right, these wild and noisy guys are "orcs", and they are listed together with "goblins" as the two "robber races" that pose the greatest threat to human civilization. In comparison, orcs are even more harmful than goblins.
Goblins are like cockroaches. Although they have super fecundity and can be killed endlessly, they are weak in combat power and can't even beat a dog.
Orcs are different. Although they are not as fertile as goblins, they are much stronger than humans in a civilized society. In addition, they are strong, cruel and aggressive. Ordinary people who have lived in villages and towns all their lives are not these green-skinned thugs at all. opponent.
While Joan was secretly observing, the group of orc gangsters below had searched the camp carefully and confirmed that there were no other creatures or valuables to plunder, so they gathered in front of the horse hitch and divided into two groups There was a violent quarrel.
Joan didn't understand the language of the orcs, but judging from the demeanor of the two sides, it seemed that there was a conflict over the two horses.
More than twenty orcs were divided into two factions, each with a particularly strong and fierce orc as the leader of the faction, and the quarrel mainly occurred between the leaders of the two sides.
One of the orc leaders seemed to feel that verbal arguments could not solve the problem, so he simply stopped talking nonsense and took off his leather armor, revealing his strong muscles, and assumed a tough posture of fighting if he refused to accept.
Not to be outdone, the orc leader on the opposite side spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, quickly took off his shirt, exposed his bare upper body, clenched his fists and flexed his arms to show off his muscles, and his thick chest hair was blowing in the night wind.
Seeing this scene, the orcs watching excitedly raised their weapons high, clamored and cheered for their bosses.
The two orc leaders stood in the circle surrounded by the crowd, staring at each other viciously. First, they moved slowly, circling around to look for the opponent's flaws.
These two strong green-skinned men were like frenzied vicious dogs, wrestling and biting, with blood spattering from their bodies constantly, the fight became more and more intense, and the shouts of the spectators around them became more and more frenzied.
In the end, an orc leader with more experience in fighting subdued his opponent, pinned him to the ground and fixed his neck with his elbows, and if the opponent refused to give in, he would be strangled to death expire.
The orc under pressure struggled a few times, and found that he could not overthrow his opponent, so he had to give up resistance, free his left hand, and slapped the ground three times in a row to show that he had surrendered.
The leader of the victorious orcs jumped up, proudly accepted the cheers and worship of the onlookers, swaggered towards the hitching post, picked the obviously stronger gelding, untied the reins, turned over and straddled it.
The orc who was knocked down by him got up, spit out bloody phlegm with a bah sound, glared resentfully at the back of his opponent on the horse showing off, walked to the tree stump, and untied Joan's pony. He rode up without saying a word.
Even though he had just lost a fight, he was still number two in the gang of orcs, and unless someone challenged his position and defeated him, he still had the right to the second-best loot.
