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 mult.i.task 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 s.p.a.ce 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?"

Link put away his scroll and replied, "No, no, come in and have a seat . "

With that, he used the Magician's Hand to bring fire wine over and poured a cup for Annie . "It's cold out . Have a cup to warm yourself . "

A year pa.s.sed in a blink . It was now early winter, and the first snow was the day before yesterday . The wind cut into one's bones while walking outside . Annie's cheeks were red from the wind .

She walked in, sat down, and took a sip of wine . Letting out a long sigh, she said, "I heard you're all practicing the magic seal . It's really hard, and many Magicians are ill from the fatigue . I thought you would have a hard time, but I guess I was worrying for nothing . "

Link chuckled . He pointed at his head and said, "The mysteries of magic are endless . I received some secret spells from the dragons, and my body is much better now . You might not even be my match in terms of strength . "

Nourished by the Dragon Power, Link's outer appearance didn't change much, but his strength had risen greatly . His physical strength was probably equal to a regular Level-5 Warrior now, and he didn't even train .

If he underwent the rigorous Warrior training, he could definitely reach a Warrior's Level-7 .

"Really?" Annie didn't believe him . After returning from the Black Forest, she'd broken into Level-5, and her strength started improving rapidly . She was now at the pinnacle and would soon enter Level-6 .

She specialized in a.s.sa.s.sination and power wasn't her strongest suit . But if she couldn't beat a Magician, that would be embarra.s.sing .

"Want to try?" Link was interested . He pulled a chair before Annie and rolled up his sleeves . He reached his hand out for a simple match of arm wrestling .

Annie was amused too . "Fine but I might crush your bones," she joked . "But I won't use my Battle Aura so you can't use spells either!"

If Link cast something like a t.i.tan spell for himself, Annie would definitely lose .

"Sure . "

Link grasped Annie's hand . Her hand was small, but her palm was rough . There were thick calluses from using a dagger yearlong . Link's hand was a typical Magician's Hand—soft and fine without any calluses or scars .

After holding hands, Link said, "I'm going to apply force . Be careful . "

Annie felt the warmth of Link's palm and couldn't control her heart . She blushed involuntarily and calmed herself down with difficulty . "Come at me," she said seriously .

They used their power at the same time, and something cracked . No one won, but the wooden table under their elbows met its demise . It cracked under the immense power and almost collapsed .

With the table damaged, the match couldn't go on . Annie gaped at Link's hand . She didn't expect this . "Link, the dragon spell is so powerful . With your power, you can go practice martial arts . "

Link shrugged instinctively . "I'm a Magician . Why should I learn martial arts? I don't have time and my energy…Hey, actually that's not a bad idea . "

In Firuman, no Magician practiced martial arts . Other than the bias against physical combat, they also didn't have the energy .

For a Magician, the endless and boundless spells were enough to take up all their time and effort . They were usually physically weak too . Even if they trained, it wouldn't be of much use . They'd also be laughed at by other Magicians so who would do it?

But actually, there was no rule against Magicians training in martial arts .

Back in the day, Link faced the same problems as other Magicians . Now, he had the physique of a dragon . Practicing martial arts while he had no inspiration for studying spells could help relax his mind . He might even become accomplished after training every day .

To Link, martial arts was just for relaxing his mind . Before, he would walk everywhere but now, his body was too strong . Strolling around was a waste . Why not practice martial arts?

Thinking of this, Link smiled . "Annie, you reminded me . After receiving the dragon spell, I'm full of energy, and I shouldn't waste it . Let me think…How about I learn swordsmans.h.i.+p? Can you find me a teacher?"

Annie laughed . "That's easy . Kanorse, the Dawn Swordsman, is in the fortress too . I'll call him over . "

What human could surpa.s.s the Dawn Swordsman in terms of swordsmans.h.i.+p?

Link's interest deepened . He chuckled and said, "Oh, don't . Since I'm asking him to be my teacher, I should be the one to find him . I owe him a magic sword too . How about tomorrow? After training tomorrow, can you take me to him?"

If not for her duties, Annie would rather be with Link at all times . Now that she had a legit reason, she would obviously agree . Smiling, she replied, "Of course . I'll come find you tomorrow . "

The two made the plan and chatted for a while . Annie was now a high-level commander of the MI3 and was quite busy . She left soon . Link glanced at the sky and realized it was only two in the afternoon . It was still early, so he started forging the magic sword .

This would be his gift to his teacher .
