16. Blessed by the Light
In fact, strictly speaking, this is not the first time I have met Kael'thas at this moment. After all www.biquge.info he had just seen the group of six people appear, and Kael'thas was naturally among them, but neither Arthas nor he paid attention to each other.
And when they met for the second time, Kael'thas looked at the little kid in front of him, frowned slightly, and then said suddenly: "Isn't this Your Excellency the Ambassador, what's the matter with coming here?" ”
For Kael'thas, who has lived for nearly a thousand years, the imp in front of him is just a curious baby, and even if the elf is xenophobic, he will not be angry with a child without grace. However, there is no escaping ridicule, who let that Terenus shoehorn a man who does not seek the way of arcane magic to Dalaran.
"In fact, I'm looking for someone to talk about academics."
"Discuss the problem...... Yes, that's what a researcher should have," Kael'thas nodded, "but you've only been here today, do you think you're knowledgeable enough to discuss with others?" Know that without sufficient judgment, communication is only a stumbling block for you and others to access the truth. ”
"Yes, but in fact I am taking the guidance of others unilaterally," Alsace said, taking out the books, "you see, these are the books. ”
"Oh?" Kael'thas looked at the title of the book and raised an eyebrow sharply, "These books...... Do you want to study astral travel through them? ”
"Indeed." Although he was a little surprised that Kael'thas directly pointed out the final purpose, since the other party was a master like the Six, it would be strange if he couldn't see it, so Arthas just admitted calmly, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"No, there is nothing wrong with these books, the only problem is your personal qualities," Kael'thas muttered for a moment, then said very seriously, "Prince Arthas, your ambition has brightened my eyes, but as one of your temporary mentors, I must warn you that the astral plane is a very dangerous place, and until you can truly understand the nature of the energy, it is best not to make such attempts that could kill you...... After all, I don't want Prince Lordaeron's body to become a tool of some demon one day. ”
No, so we're all in this kind of role in the future, is it really good for you to set the flag so early?
"Well, it's impossible for you to access arcane power anyway," seeing that Arthas obviously didn't listen, Kael'thas frowned, his patience obviously exhausted, "Anyway, I've been kind enough to tell you that your life is your own after all, so you can do it yourself." ”
With that, Kael'thas walked in the direction of the White Tower. And looking at his background, Arthas stuck out his tongue and turned his head to see the child with the priest's head leaning against the door, looking at him with pure black eyes, unable to see attitude, only a violet light looming, which looked particularly attractive in the setting sun.
"Your eyes are so beautiful," Arthas said bluntly, "and besides, I'm sorry. ”
"Why apologize?"
"Probably because...... I offended your teacher? ”
"No, he's not my teacher, it's better that he wanted to be, but I didn't agree," said the priest, tilting his head, "come in." ”
There was no polite greeting between the two children, and the priest was indeed a very straightforward person, so after sitting down in a cushioned living room, the priest took out the book "The Extended Theory of Spiritual Consciousness" directly from Arthas's hand, turned to one of the pages, and pointed it out to Arthas.
"The key conceptual vocabulary in this book is mainly will, meditation, and calculation, and the reason for this is that in the theory of Arcanist research, these words do not have the same meaning as commonly understood......"
Without any politeness or embellishment, just a concise description of the differences between some researchers and ordinary people in terms of lexical concepts, the priest threw the book back, and then drew out the second and third......
"It's only been fifteen minutes," Alsace looked at the clock next to him, "so fast, it feels unreal." ”
"Theoretical things just need to be clear, the key is practice," the priest brought a cup to the priest's head, "you're hungry, this is a special herb tea, it can relieve hunger." ”
"Yes, thank you......" Alsace took a sip of vanilla tea, feeling a lot more comfortable in his stomach, "Oh, that's amazing." ”
"It's just an emergency thing, and you'll still have to eat later," the priest said, "Well, let's start the practice part, if I'm not mistaken, the Holy Light doesn't have the power to let you explore the astral plane, and this power is more dependent on your own thoughts, minds, or anything like that, isn't it?" ”
"Indeed," Arthas looked at the priest's head in front of him, especially the special eyes, "and if you say so, you are obviously favored by the Light, but you are in the City of Mages......"
"Well, strictly banished," said the priest with a faint expression, "Ah, don't make that expression, in fact I came here for the same reason as you, except that none of the king's fathers gave me the status of ambassador." ”
"But you're also a detached family, aren't you......"
"Well, thanks to Grandpa Antonidas's care," the priest nodded, "So, can you say now, the method you have explored?" ”
"No problem, but I want to emphasize that this is not something I have explored, but a method that I have discovered after reading the Book of Light," Arthas said, "and I am only one of many practitioners, so it is hard to say that you will be satisfied." ”
"Oh......"
"So, what exactly is the ......"
After apologizing to the countless Blood Knights and Paladins in his heart, Arthas began to explain to the people in front of him that he had stolen the hand of light from the future. The priest on the opposite side was naturally completely unaware of Arthas's entanglement in his heart at this time, and just listened solemnly, and then, a warm light appeared on his body.
However, Arthas's imaginary picture of the genius saint who instantly penetrated the key point did not appear, and the light on the priest's head only flashed a few times before disappearing quietly, and looking at the other party's sweaty face, he was obviously very tired.
"So it's a long process to renovate, and don't be impatient, or you'll ......."
"Well, thank you, but this method shouldn't work for me," the priest closed his eyes and took a few breaths before continuing, "However, while you can't make a stand-in for entering the Astral Plane as you said, it would be better to control and optimize its use, if there was a ...... at the time."
The voice behind him was very low, and Arthas didn't really listen to it, but since the other party lowered his voice, he just didn't want to let himself hear it, so he wasn't so idle to ask more.
"Moreover, I have a new idea," the priest continued, "according to you, it is to use the power of the Holy Light to build a machine in the body, but after all, it is to use your body as a carrier, so it still needs to be based on physical training, just like ordinary paladins. So, is it possible for this machine to become your bones instead to carry your body? ”
"Uh, how do you do that?" We're not Naru - the second half of the sentence is just in the heart.
“…… I don't have too mature ideas at the moment, but I can give it a try," the priest shook his head after a long while, "I'll tell you when I have an idea." ”
With that, the priest stood up and patted his leg.
"It's not early, let's go eat." He said, "There are a lot of elf-style restaurants around the Red Tower, and since you are an ambassador, you can still afford the food, right?" ”
"No problem, I'm in for a treat!" Arthas laughed, and strode out first.
"No, I'm not asking you to have a treat...... "Looking at Arthas, who had already walked out of the door, the priest sighed, "Forget it, anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince, it's nothing to pit...... Right? ”
Against the backdrop of Alsace's offer of a treat, the two had what seemed to be a luxurious dinner. Then, the priest left first, citing the need to study the idea of steel. After dinner, Arthas preferred to wander around the night in Dalaran, so before he knew it, he had walked back from the Red Tower to the White Tower.
Then, I don't know if it's because the road is narrow or what, he ran into Kael'thas who happened to come out of the White Tower again. However, compared to the afternoon, Kael'thas was now full of anger, and his steps had become much heavier, without the slightest elegance of the day.
For such a Kael'thas, naturally no one wants to go up and touch the mold, Arthas quickly moved out of the way, and after watching His Royal Highness the Elven Prince walk away quickly, he turned around and asked a silver-red variegated hair mage who chased him: "May I ask this master, what happened to His Highness Kael'thas with him?" ”
"The orcs have breached the defenses of the Eternal Song Forest and inflicted great damage on the elven villages in the south, and I heard that many important people of the clan have been damaged," the mage explained in a gentle tone, "I heard that it was because the announcement from the Alliance was a step late, which is why His Highness Kael'thas is so angry. ”
"But when I got back from Stratholme, I had already sent someone to inform the elves......
"His Highness Kael'thas only trusts the elves, little Arthas," the mage sighed, reaching out and touching the top of Arthas's head, "So, it doesn't matter if you send a messenger or not, what matters is how His Highness Kael'thas reported this matter." ”
"And what I'm worried about now is whether the Eternal City under my feet will also become the next Eternal Song Forest." The mage looked up at the White Tower and let out a feeble sigh, "Hopefully, this worry is just superfluous. ”
