Chapter Twenty-Six: The Magic City of Dalaran

Dark, starlight, colorful swirls......

In fact, Zhang Cheng wasn't quite sure what he was seeing in just a few seconds, but it was undoubtedly so bizarre that he didn't even notice when the teleportation was complete.

"Alright, young man, don't be in a daze, keep up, we still have a lot of things to do today. Ansrem Ruinvivol urged as he walked through the mirror-like arch and disappeared without a trace.

"Interesting, is this magic teleportation......" Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, and hurriedly followed, also through the arch.

After only a second, it suddenly dawned on him that he was standing on the top of a tower more than 30 meters above the ground, and from above, he could see the scenery within a radius of several kilometers.

I saw hundreds of tall earth elementals, under the control of a small number of mages, methodically piling up stones engraved with magic runes, forming a huge circular foundation.

On the foundation, towering mage towers rise from the ground, and although most of them are far from finished, you can tell from the number of them that how many mages will live here in the future.

"Isn't it spectacular? Not so long ago, it was in ruins, but with our efforts, it will soon be unveiled to the world in a new way. The Archmage said proudly.

Of course, he had enough capital to be proud of, and when the entire alliance had abandoned the old site of Dalaran, he led more than 3,000 survivors to rebuild it from scratch, and even sent a small army to stop the Forsaken from expanding their power.

Looking at this huge construction site, Zhang Cheng nodded lightly and sighed: "Yes, it is spectacular, even if it is a miracle, it is not an exaggeration." But I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea to build a floating city in the first place?"

He knew very well that the real effect of those carved magic rune stones was actually anti-gravity, and each piece required the consumption of precious arcane crystals, and when all the stones were stacked, the rebuilt Dalaran could rise from the ground and become a perfect fortress that could never be conquered.

"Oh, you know?" Ansrem Ruinvivol was visibly surprised that a young mage could see through the plan he had designated.

"Well, I've heard a little bit. In case you didn't know, the mentor who led me on the path of magic was named Risson, and he was a member of the Kenrito Council and told me a lot of stories about the Magic City, so although it was my first time here, I didn't feel strange at all. Zhang Cheng explained half-truthfully.

"Wait, I think I've heard the name. The archmage touched the thick long beard on his chin, and after a while he suddenly said, "Ah, I remembered. Risson, the youngest son of Count Ambrose of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, a classmate of Gianna Proudmoore, and a relatively good young mage. I didn't expect him to be still alive, and he also accepted a disciple. ”

"Ever since the fall of Prince Arthas, the Mentor has lost hope in life. He locked himself in his room, cut off almost all contact with the outside world, and died of depression until not long ago. I came to Dalaran to inform the council of his death, and to return the precious books and scrolls that my mentor had taken with me when disaster struck. With that, Zhang Cheng opened his backpack and took out the things that had been prepared and handed them to the other party.

Ansrem Ruinvivol took it and glanced at it, and quickly muttered to himself, "The Shaping Technique of Arcane Energy", "The Connection between the Light and the Shadows", "On the World After Death", "How to Make Your Spell Casting Faster", ...... That's right, these are precious materials that have been lost in the library. By the way, what did you say about Risen dying? If I'm not mistaken, he's only about 30 years old this year, how could he die?"

Zhang Cheng pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly, and carefully took out the laughable suicide note from his pocket: "I don't want to make too many comments about the mentor, but you should be able to understand after reading his suicide note." ”

"Suicide note, did he foresee his death?" Ansrem Ruinwivol frowned, pulled out a slightly crumpled letter, and began to read it word for word.

But before he could read half of it, he couldn't help but laugh, and commented while laughing: "Hahahaha! Another poor creature who has a crush on Gianna, but doesn't dare to confess." Well, I think I know why he died, a man who spends his days immersed in remorse is destined not to live long. ”

With that, the archmage casually handed over the suicide note to Zhang Cheng, a trace of disdain appeared on his face, and then asked, "Then what are your plans, young man, do you want to join the Kenrito Council, or go south to pledge allegiance to the Stormwind Kingdom?"

"Naturally, I was not interested in politics or the intrigues of the big guys. I just want to be quiet and find a place where I can study and research. Zhang Cheng made a choice without thinking.

If he remembered correctly, there was a terrifying being in Stormwind who tried to subvert the royal power, and she was Deathwing's own daughter, the famous Black Dragon sister, Onexia.

Unless you are impatient, you will be idle and hang out in front of this big guy......

"Wise choice!" Ansrem Ruinwivol nodded in satisfaction. "Even though you are a disciple of Rissen, if you want to join the Kenrito Council, you still need to go through some procedures and do a few small tests. However, I believe that with your strength and skill, it should be easy to pass. Come, I'll take you through these simple tests first, and then I'll take you to meet your friends. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his arms and jumped directly from the balcony.

At the moment when the body was about to collide with the ground, an invisible force suddenly slowed down the speed of the descent, and the whole person was like a leaf, slowly landing on the steps below.

"Oh my god, this is crazy. The corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, gritting his teeth, stomping his feet, and being ruthless, and jumping down with his eyes closed.

With the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, he only felt that his body suddenly seemed to fall into the water, and was held up by a buoyant force......
