Chapter 291: A Corner of the Castle
"The undead are going back!
"General Gallisus is stationed in Dalaran, what is there to fear, so I don't want to leave my country again. ”
"Naturally, I'm not worried about Lord Garethus's army, but have you heard, Lord Gather's army is stationed in the direction of the Silver Pines Forest, and the undead who attacked from Lake Lordamere are all defended by those High Elves!"
"It's terrible to say, and it would be terrible if those elves betrayed the Alliance again...... When the orcs came, they reneged on the covenant, and in the early days of the undead invasion, they also refused to aid the Lordaerons, who knows if these guys will suddenly surrender to the undead now!"
Loria walked all the way to the center of the city, and the streets were full of such remarks, the people of Dalaran had already been ** by the undead once, and they were all very nervous after hearing the news that the undead were going to counterattack.
As for the High Elves who have now changed their vests, they have lost the trust of humans since the Second Orc War...... It is said that in the eyes of Lordaeron and the Dalarans, the Blood Elves are almost as disgusting as the Gilneys who are cowered in turtle shells.
There is a particular lack of integrity in this war-torn world, and because of this, people are even more disgusted with those who do not keep their promises.
Hatred has always been a double-edged sword, and after being treated with a series of cold shoulders from humans, the elves also hate humans - more than they were, I should say.
Even if the blood elves really fought back, Loria wouldn't be surprised, no one likes to help someone who insults them all day.
She had no ill feelings towards elves, but after living in a Scarlet Monastery for a long time, she had learned to make jokes about the Gilnesians.
The majority of the members of the Scarlet Crusade were fallen Lordaeronians, and they especially hated the kingdom of Gilneth (at least in the eyes of the Lordaeronians) for tearing up the Covenant at the time of the catastrophe and watching their allies be slaughtered by the undead under the high walls.
Gilneth certainly wouldn't refuse to come to Lordaeron's aid for no reason, in fact, the sordid between the two countries had been around for a long time, and it had even become a tradition for their people to hate each other, and aside, Miss Loria, who was dressed beautifully, walked leisurely down the streets, always observing the words and actions of passers-by with an outsider mentality.
Her strategy worked, she was richly dressed and carrying a long staff that looked like a magic staff, and no one came forward to disturb her except for the frequent attention she received.
Ordinary people regarded her as a mage lady who had slipped out of a large family, the kind of moving trouble that could only be seen from a distance and could never be approached.
Loria was so happy that she kept an eye out for job openings in the street shops as she walked towards the tallest spire in the city.
When I arrived at the area where Violet Castle was located, I saw a large group of young people gathered in groups of three or five, chattering and discussing something.
They were dressed in different colors, their skin tones, their bodies were different, and even their accents were different, and they had gathered here just for the dream of becoming a spellcaster.
A mage apprentice came out of a tower facing the street, and a dozen young people immediately surrounded him...... Dalaran does not have a unified teaching institution, and the reason why it has become a city of mages is that it focuses more on research than teaching, and all new mages grow up on the model of mentoring and apprenticeship.
Famous teachers do not necessarily produce high apprentices, but almost all of them are brought out by famous teachers...... Without a strong background or eye-catching talent, it is difficult to be selected by the most powerful mages, and gradually, Dalaran's teaching model has also fallen into rigidity, and it is widely criticized by some mages.
Powerful mages are powerful from generation to generation, and the deepest mysteries of magic are all held by the most powerful mage towers, and once you follow a mediocre teacher, it is difficult to get ahead.
Although everyone is criticizing Dalaran's teaching system behind their backs, no one has come forward to change it...... Perhaps Kel'thugad is one.
Loria felt fresh, and wanted to know how the mages chose their disciples, so she went up to see the excitement.
After looking at it for a while, she probably understood that the strength of the owner of each mage tower seemed to be directly proportional to the number of people gathered under the tower.
An arcane golem jumped down the steps, blocking those who wanted to get closer, and the mage apprentice stood on the steps and said, "The teacher's requirements are very simple, hard-working and obedient, and with a little magic, you can be selected." ”
In order to become a mage's dream, hard-working and obedient can naturally pretend against their will, but the fact that they must know some small magic is difficult for most people.
A bespectacled girl squeezed up to the arcane golem with an excited face, and cast a simple little magic - a small ball of light condensed on her fingertips, which had no other purpose than to provide a faint light, but it was such a small magic that made the mage apprentice nod and motioned for her to stand up the steps.
"Anyone else?"
The mage's apprentice asked the people again, and when he noticed Loria, he stared at the pink-haired Lori intently, so frightened that Loria quickly shrank behind the crowd, she was just here to make soy sauce, and had no intention of learning magic.
The rest of the people all showed disappointed expressions, and some of them asked unwillingly, "I've never studied magic, it's not fair!"
Loria could no longer be found, and the mage apprentice seemed to turn his disappointment into resentment, and sarcastically said to the person who spoke: "If you haven't learned, you can naturally learn, there are the most basic books in the bookstore, and talented people can naturally learn a little magic or two." ”
Although it was true, the arrogant appearance was really annoying, and because of the terrible arcane puppet blocking the doorway, the mage apprentice was finally not beaten by the remaining dozen or so people.
Loria quietly slipped out of the disappointed and angry crowd, and went to see the other excitement, and she sighed to Alice: "Wherever there is an exam, no matter the form, there will always be a few happy and a few sad...... The taste of competition can be sweet or bitter, and it really makes people sigh. ”
Alice giggled, and she also found the joy in seeing the joys and sorrows of the onlookers.
Applauding the winners, sighing with the losers, there is no risk but you can also feel some nervousness.
Violet Castle is a great place to see the excitement, especially for idle time-travelers like Loria and Alice.
Loria carried Alice in and out of the crowd, and when she was tired, she sat on a bench by the side of the road and ate fruit.
"Little girl, where are you from?"
A white-bearded old man with a staff approached Loria with a smile
