After the fifth-level mage left, the mages attending the banquet abandoned their initial restraints and wandered around the dining table where exquisite food was placed, and drank a little with familiar mages from time to time. However, with the arrival of several female mages, the mages almost surrounded them, even the young mages who had just arrived here.

Shaoke looked at the female mages who later came through the crowd and found that these mages were not very old and had a good appearance. Unfortunately, there were too many of them and they did not observe them clearly.

"Master Xueye, these female mages are pretty good, why don't you go up and chat with them, haha!" The third-level mage who received Shaoke and the others for the first time sat next to Shaoke, picked up the wine glass and tasted it slowly.

Shaoke looked at the mage and shook his head and said, "It's still no need. I don't think I can't squeeze in at all. They are so popular." After saying that, he glanced at the situation where the female mages were, he concentrated on enjoying the fine wine in front of him.

"Yes! They have always been very popular here. When they first came here, I went up to talk to them. Now...haha! I didn't expect time to pass so quickly." The third-level mage shook his head, sighed and looked at the focus of the mages, and then started drinking.

The banquet became more lively as more and more mages joined. When a female scholar arrived, the banquet also began the most exciting part: inviting women to dance.

The female mages and the only sutra master did not refuse the invitations one by one of these mages. The various robes were dedicated to highlighting the beauty of the master on the large enough space left by the mages. Shaoko even saw that when a mage retreated, he immediately invited the sutra master to start dancing.

The third-level mage saw Shaoke staring at everyone in the field and smiled and said, "Master Xueye, you can go to the reception position after your companion leaves. The scholar's small waist is very soft, much better than those of those female mages."

Shaoke shook his head awkwardly, then closed his cloak again and said, "I can't dance."

"Oh! It's a very regrettable thing." The third-level mage shook his head, "You should have studied in the academy at the beginning, after all, it's a big need to attend a banquet."

"By the way, Master Xueye, I think your face is not good. Is it because your magic and mental power have grown too fast?" The third-level mage expressed the questions suppressed in his heart. He did not hope that this young mage would make any mistakes in his cultivation, as it would cause unnecessary losses to the already few military mages.

"Thank you for your concern, dear Master, Master Shaoke nodded, "I will pay attention to this in the future."

The mage nodded and pointed to the female mages who were throwing and dancing in the field and said, "Look! They are very restrained in their cultivation, but in just a few years, they will be promoted to third-level mages. At that time, I can temporarily leave the army and choose a new position."

Shaoke pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "Dear Master, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, I'm happy to tell you what I know. Here, you have the right to ask questions to the advanced mages." The third-level mage nodded and signaled Shaoko to tell him his question.

"The rapid growth of my mental power and magic power has only happened in the past few days, but why has my physical condition decreased so much?" After thanking the other party, Shaoke asked his own question without hesitation.

The third-level mage frowned, put down the wine glass and looked at Shaoke carefully, and finally said uncertainly: "Didn't you have been promoted for a long time? And you didn't take care of your physical condition after the promotion?"

Shaoke nodded. He didn't expect the mage to see the time of his promotion. "As you said, I've been promoted for less than a year."

The third-level mage nodded and quickly gave him a solution. "In the future, you can reduce the use of drugs that can increase magic and mental power accumulation, and take more drugs that enhance physical fitness, which can slowly restore you." After the mage said that, he looked at Shaoke and agreed, he then gave another solution, "You should appropriately extend those methods of exercise, which is much better than the assistance of medicine."

Shaoko was silent for a while and said, "Dear Master, thank you for your advice. If I continue to maintain this growth, will my body continue to deteriorate and will it be troublesome to recover in the future?"

The third-level mage sighed, "Now you'd better not rush to increase your mental power and magic power. If you delay for an extra year, your foundation will be stronger; it is very difficult to continue to deteriorate until your body recovers later. Don't forget that when you advance to the third level, your body will still deteriorate unless you have those precious herbs and advanced promotion methods."

Shaoke sighed softly. He did not seem to slow down his progress. Since he discovered that the diamond array in the spiritual space had changed, he had set himself the fastest way to advance. He wanted to rely on his existing advantages to try to shorten the distance between those mages with high talent as much as possible.

Seeing Shaoke's thoughtful look, the third-level mage shook his head and explained to him some things that should be paid attention to here for a while. Finally, he asked him to go back and take a look at the piece of paper given by the old mage. It not only records what should be paid attention to on the battlefield, but also the rules that should be followed on weekdays. Then, amid Shaoke's repeated thanks, he turned around and left despite the still lively banquet.

After the mage left, Shaoke looked at the white-robed scholars and female mages who were still dancing in the open space, and couldn't help but feel irritated. After a sudden drink, he quietly left the banquet because he felt that such an occasion was not suitable for him.

Shaoke did not follow the advice of the third-level mage. He knew that if he continued to use that advanced meditation method and take a lot of medicine, his body would still develop in a bad direction. However, he was unwilling to slow down his promotion speed in this way. He decided to extend the exercise time in the future and reduce the time for meditation appropriately. He hoped that this would prevent the continuous decline of his physical fitness.

In more than a month after the banquet, no soldiers from the enemy country rushed to the fortress wall. Shaoke continued to take third-level medicines and sent letters to the mage who made his agreement, hoping that the other party would send him a third-level medicine that could strengthen his physique. The rest of the time was still constantly practicing spells, memorizing spell knowledge, and practicing various casting techniques.

During this period, more second-level mages rushed to this fortress from various parts of the empire. Seeing more and more mages of the same level, Shaoke found that many of them had never performed border guard tasks at all. However, the banquet was not held for them continuously, but it was held once after feeling that the number of people was about the same. However, Shaoke did not attend the subsequent banquet because he was still busy learning magic knowledge and meditation.

During this period, Master Roland told him that many young mages who have a relationship with the nobles and mage families have also arrived here, and it seems that they have to stay here for a long time.

The reply from the Blizzard Legion finally came, and there were also medicines that were sufficient for ordinary mages to use for a year to restore their physique. At this time, Shaoko was thinner than before, his hair was yellow, his cheeks were deep, and his nails on his thin hands were much longer and curved, looking very terrifying.

After seeing these drugs arrive, Shaoke didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, because the continuous decline in physical fitness made Shaoke discover a special situation, that is, after his physical fitness dropped to a certain level, he never declined again. In addition to the ugly face of ordinary people, Shaoke felt that his strength had returned to his state before he was promoted.

After several inspections, after not finding the specific reason for this situation, Shaoke had to put the credit on the effect caused by the rhombus magic array.

On that day, Shaoke was studying the magic structure inside the house, and there were growing quarrels outside. Shaoke frowned and opened the window before he found that the two parties were quarreling. When Shaoke watched the two people quarreled constantly, a familiar voice called his name, "Master Xueye, I think you should come out now." It turned out that it was Master Roland who saw Shaoke who was checking here, so he still couldn't help but want to call him over to fill in the number of people on his side.

Shaoke nodded helplessly and walked towards them slowly with his staff.

After seeing Shaoko coming, Master Roland approached and whispered the reason for the conflict.

It turned out that Master Roland and the others hoped to invite several female wizards who appeared at the last banquet to gather with the female wizard master, but this matter was discovered by the later masters, and some of them asked them to attend the party as well. However, Master Roland and the others thought that it would be inappropriate if there were too many people, and they were not familiar with them at all.

After learning that they were rejected, the mages were angry, so they found this place to argue with Master Roland and the others, which alarmed Shaoko.

The leading mage raised his head, glanced at Shaoke with a slanted look, and snorted softly. More than a dozen mages behind him looked at Shaoke and the other mages angrily. One of the mages stepped forward and walked a few steps: "You just don't let us attend the party because you're more than a month earlier than us? Do you don't even understand the most basic politeness? I don't think this will make you feel embarrassed."

Master Roland took a deep breath and said, "This mage, we will not make this decision because we arrived earlier than you. You can invite them after our party is over. I think they will definitely not refuse if they have time." As he said, he looked at the mage who led the lead, "I think this kind of thing is not worth our argument, what do you think?"

The mage who led the lead snorted coldly, "Master Roland, we just want to attend the party today. If you stop it, I think many unpleasant things will happen." The mage waved his staff lightly and walked forward a few steps casually.

After learning the reason for the quarrel between the two parties, Shaoke couldn't suppress the irritability of being interrupted in his study and whispered to Master Roland: "What's wrong with letting them attend the party? They are all companions in the future, why can't they understand them?"

Master Roland looked at the handsome face of the mage who was thinner than before, and an unnatural smile was shaking on his face, "Master Xueye, how long have you been out? These later mages are not in the same system as us. Many of them come here to make a living with qualifications; and these mages are so lustful. At the banquet they held when they came, they openly teased the female mages, but the banquet made many mages feel bad. If it weren't for the many nobles behind them, I think they would have been minced into meat that night by other mages."
