Dalaran is also known as the City of Crosses. www.biquge.info Unlike the more well-known city in the southern foothills of the Alterac Mountains, Dalaran was still located on Lake Lordamere, an island city built on a cross island in the center of the lake.

From the port south of the royal capital of Lordaeron, it only takes half a day to disembark at the northern port of Dalaran. The abundant fishery resources of Lake Lordamere fed the spellcasters who had been ostracized by the kingdom, and the deep waters of the lake itself became a natural moat and cage for the city.

"There's nothing to hide," the young mage who was the guide laughed, "after all, the original Dalaran was the result of an exchange of interests between elves and humans. In an era when the remnants of the legendary battle of the ancients were still there, it was understandable to make a little more preparation. What's more, Dalaran's own development still depends a lot on this so-called cage? ”

Dalaran's mage is very pragmatic, and this is the first feeling of Arthas along the way.

To be honest, in the first two lives, Arthas also dealt with the mages of Dalaran, and what he said to Varian was also a personal summary, and there was no falsehood. But never before has Alsace been able to feel the atmosphere of Dalaran so close and for so long.

Unlike the human aristocracy, who struggled with rituals, rules, and rules of the game, Dalaran's mages had extremely simple social relations - they only had a teacher-student relationship, and other than that, everything was equal, and even the powerful Six would not have an advantage over a fledgling apprentice in daily discussions, unless his theories were more reasonable and correct.

As a result, when Arthas, the ambassador from the Alliance, arrived in Dalaran, there were no mages on the docks, except for the staff who needed to greet him for diplomatic reasons, which was almost unimaginable in the world of human nobility. On the next road to the "White Tower", any mage who saw such a large team would also walk by in a hurry, at most they only nodded slightly, and most of them didn't even bother to nod. Obviously, Arthas is nothing more than what they are thinking about.

However, when Alsace walked into the White Tower, like a spring breeze, the entire six people of Dalaran appeared in front of him, and the atmosphere of the cold and indifferent academic capital in the outside world just now seemed to be swept away, replaced by a very relaxed and warm atmosphere.

"Don't be funny, this is a crowd of six, how can it be warm......"

After complaining in his heart, Arthas also sensed that this was probably a spell effect, and for Arcane, it was really simple to use the changes in the environment to interfere with people's perception and judgment. And this method also reflects the goodwill of Dalaran's side - after all, who doesn't want to be stared at coldly, does he? Therefore, Arthas shrugged his shoulders and accepted the overture.

"Welcome, dear Prince Arthas," it was Antonidas, an old man with a big beard, his appearance was nothing special compared to the average old man, and if it weren't for the meeting here, I'm afraid nine out of ten people would have forgotten who he was, "After receiving the message from His Highness Terenus, we are preparing for your stay...... As you can see, Dalaran is a place that is not so different from the outside world, a little offensive, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me. ”

"I like the atmosphere here, and I'll be in trouble if I do get a big crowd to make a welcome party," Alsace laughed, "and, though nominally an ambassador, I'm here to learn, and it's better to leave anything else behind, don't you say?" ”

"Joke, but at this point, I do have a question for Your Highness," said Antonidas, "Your Highness, are you really here to follow the path of the Arcane?" ”

"Of course not, rather, I don't have the aptitude to move forward on this path, so I don't need to be reckless," Alsace said, "and I'm here for the theory, for the strength to go further on the path I've chosen." ”

"Well, then, you're here for wisdom." Antonidas nodded, "I have seen the honesty and ambition of His Highness, then, thank Your Highness for dispelling the doubts in our hearts, and we also hope that in the coming days, Your Highness will also be able to show his wisdom and perseverance, so that the time that slips through our fingers will not be in vain." ”

When the words landed, the location of the six people suddenly dimmed, and after a while, the young mage who had come to greet him came out and said to Arthas, "Your Highness, please let me take you to the place where you are staying." ”

"Thank you."

Arthas nodded, and looked back at the direction of the Six, but this time he saw only an empty room, and it was impossible for the Six to sit here and meet with him in terms of space alone.

"Space magic? Or projection? In any case, the Arcane is indeed a magical thing, and even if you can't use it yourself, you must at least understand it, after all, the Arcanist is the group that knows the Astral Plane best. ”

Thinking like this, the mage leading the way in front of him had stopped, and Arthas looked up, only to see that what appeared in front of him was a circular two-story building, which looked like a huge eggshell, and the color scheme was also relatively bright, and compared with the surroundings, it was simply synonymous with the wrong style of painting.

"This is His Highness's residence, and since His Highness is now an ambassador, this detached house has been given to you," Arthas explained, as if to see Arthas's doubts, "This is the latest experimental design, and this form is mainly cleaned by the power of natural rainwater to avoid unnecessary work. ”

"I see, so the calculation process must be complicated, right?"

“…… Indeed, it seems that His Highness has the potential to become a member of the research team," the young mage nodded, "The class schedule will be sent by mail at a later date, and during this time, please rest well." ”

"Thank you."

Watching the mage leave, Arthas walked into this "egg house", which was different from the strange appearance outside, and the room inside was the style of Dalaran in his memory, quiet and simple, which coincided with Arthas's current needs.

Because it was a detached house, all the necessary devices for life were built-in, and Alsace looked up and down and found that the food, clothing, shelter and transportation were fully satisfied, but there was only a small problem - all of which he had to deal with himself.

"These mages really know the essence of stocking......"

With a somewhat amused sigh, Arthas didn't mean to complain. Originally, Dalaran did not have any tradition of serving the nobility, and most of the trivial tasks such as cleaning the room and cleaning up the clothes were naturally solved by the arcane, so that the cost of living for a person was extremely reduced, and things that were almost unimaginable in the outside world were actually just ordinary here, even if a ten-year-old child wanted to be fully self-reliant.

"So, while the class schedule is still out, let's take a look around."

Without waiting for someone else to direct, Arthas stepped out of his so-called detached house and wandered around the city of Dalaran. Compared with the later generation of Dalaran, the cross-shaped city at this time was many times larger, and the history of more than 1,000 years also made the roads here extremely rugged, without the neatness and generosity of the city in Alsace's memory.

Along the way, Arthas picked up his useless plug-in for fun and took a good look at the mages who passed by, and found that most of the mages' military evaluations were around 10, but the one that belonged to resourcefulness was not very high, the average was 8, but the research scores were mostly around 13, according to the fact that his father was only 18 diplomatic scores, this strange system still has a very high evaluation of the research ability of Master Dalaran.

"In other words, the intelligence of this system does not refer to IQ, and the ability to cast spells is also calculated into the military rating......" After roughly understanding the evaluation direction of this thing, Arthas felt that he seemed to understand something a little, "It's really a vague score, but it seems to be good for analyzing enemies, and it seems that it is not good to underestimate this thing too much before." ”

Thinking like this, Alsace had already come to a square through a crooked road, and for Dalaran, who was now at a premium, such a square that seemed to be about 100 meters square was very rare, and the library directly north of the square was a rare large building.

The Seven-Colored Mage Tower and the Library are the original cornerstones of Dalaran and the most obvious landmark of Dalaran today. In the previous life, Alsace had no chance to see it, and now it is a pity.

"I just wonder if there is anything more in the library now than after the orcs destroyed this place?" With a little anticipation, Arthas walked into the moon-white Greek temple-like building in front of him, "First of all, I want to see my authority......"

"Your authority is A-level, Your Highness," the staff said when he saw Alsace coming to consult, "You can freely view the books of the Theory Department, but the books with C-level or higher clearance will not be borrowed, please pay attention." ”

"What about books about arcane spells and the like?"

"That type of book can't be read without the ability to do it," the staff member explained kindly, "and it's best not to take risks for the sake of your health." ”

"No problem, I'm not going to know my pounds."

Arthas nodded, then gracefully avoided the spell shelves and walked in the direction of the theory books.

"So, the adventure begins, I wonder what I can find from here?"
