Chapter 11: The Nature of Magic
Orondo eventually found out that he had been absent from school on his first day of school in Dalaran.
By the time he reached the public classroom, it was empty.
"It's a lot of fun." The mage's apprentice muttered to himself and left.
Actually, it's okay, Violet Academy doesn't have any such thing as a score make-up exam, so even if you don't go to a public class, no mage will care.
Anyway, if you don't get the guidance of your tutor, it's useless to go to class every day.
Without violating the rules of Violet Academy, apprentices can do anything in the Academy.
By the time I walked out of the communal classroom, it was already past noon.
The sun of the Harvest Moon hung overhead, radiating a scorching ray.
Dalaran didn't have the magic shield of Quel'Salas to change the temperature of the climate, and Orondo, who had not bathed for a day and a night in a mage robe, now felt itchy after sweating wildly.
After thinking about it, Orondo simply left the public classroom and ran to the college's public cafeteria to find food.
Fortunately, due to the peculiarities of the work of the mages. The school cafeteria is open 28 hours a day, and you can go to eat at any time.
After all, it is normal for some mages to forget to sleep and eat and forget to eat when they study.
Although there is a secret method in the spell that can make food, the food that can be made in this way can only satisfy hunger. If it's not a last resort, even wild boars won't want to eat it.
After a hearty meal, Orondo ran out of Violet Academy, and sure enough, he found Jobby squatting in the shadows near the doorway.
After asking for pleasantries, Orondo knew that his coachman had returned. Now Joby stays in Dalaran and is responsible for taking care of the daily needs of his viscount.
Jobby took Orondo's luggage and temporarily stayed in a paid inn provided by Dalaran.
Orondo, who was eager to study, just hurriedly went to the inn to take a shower, changed his clothes, and couldn't wait to return to the library of Violet Academy.
He plunged headlong into the ocean of knowledge again.
Since entering the library yesterday, due to his body's own instinctive sensitivity to energy, as well as basic detection, and since he began to read the Violet Books.
Orondo already had a tentative sense that Azeroth was not the same as Earth.
Although Azeroth is superficially similar in physical form to Earth, in reality the essence of matter is no longer atoms and molecules, but a small structure called an element.
This world is full of huge energy, and it can even be said that the matter of this world itself is a combination of energy, and compared to the solid atomic and molecular structure of the earth, the matter of this world is easily converted into energy.
Like what...... Converting arcane energy into food that can satisfy hunger, and this energy is directly transformed into food, which Earth technology obviously can't do.
Coupled with the help and analysis of the Eye of Truth, Orondo felt that he had a preliminary understanding of the nature of magic.
Magic, this is an energy that runs through the entire world, even through the outer planes. This layer of energy is known as the Magic Web to some mages and blue dragons in Azeroth.
The magic net provides magic power for all people, but this provision is not free, the mage in meditation according to the different magic structure of each spell, with spiritual power to extract energy from the magic net, to form a spell, once the spell is used, the spiritual energy that constructs the magic is actually absorbed by the magic net.
Orondo knew the nature of Azeroth, and he also knew the nature of arcane energy, so he now wondered if the mental power of the caster that had been drained was just taken away from the Star Soul?
Why is there a Star Soul?
How does the Star Soul grow?
Is the growth of the star soul related to the spiritual power that is drained when the caster casts the spell?
The caster's spiritual power comes from the physical body itself, mainly depending on his own talent and acquired training. Powerful mages are all powerful people with strong spiritual power, and the so-called mana is the energy that embodies the spiritual power of the mage.
Regardless, after reading hundreds of tomes, Orondo knew it was time for him to rest, as the Eye of Truth reminded him.
I was too tired from reading last night, and I fell asleep directly in the library.
This is not good because the body is not well rested, and the body is not able to recover well.
For mages, there is no way to fully recover the vital spiritual power.
The good physical strength brought by good rest can produce more mental power, that is, more mana.
And I've already missed a class, so I can't skip a public class tomorrow.
Orondo is very interested in the magic lessons of the world of Azeroth. Until now, his journey of magical exploration has always relied only on self-study.
The mage apprentice stood up and threw the book on the table - there would be library staff and send it back to its original place.
While rubbing his body, which had been stiffened after sitting for too long, Orondo walked out, and when he walked out of the library door, he was surprised to find that it was already late at night.
He looked back at the library, where the clock hung directly above it: 2:45.
It was close to ten mechanical hours of reading, and it was already midnight.
If you were so serious about studying in your last life, 211, 985 and anything would be fine, right?
I complained to myself, but Orondo knew it was different.
If you can't read well on Earth, you won't be able to go to a good university at most.
If you can't read well in Azeroth and don't have any other talents, there is a high probability that you will die in the future!
And reading on Earth, there is no cheat like the Eye of Truth to use.
With this in mind, Orondo left the library. With Elune's brilliance finding his way, he heads to the dormitory where Violet Academy offers apprentices.
The collective quarters for apprentices are two small buildings located northeast of the college, near the middle of the communal classrooms and the large library.
Each full-fledged apprentice is given a separate personal dormitory with hot water and beds, as well as some general daily necessities.
There were no guards or dormitories at the entrance of the dormitory, just a blue and dark arcane energy body that stayed there - Dalaran was particularly fond of using them, these low-level intelligent magic-made energy bodies were more efficient than mages in some simple tasks, and better than ordinary people.
After verifying the badge, Orondo successfully entered one of the two dormitories.
The hallway of the dormitory was not dark at all, and there were candles lit on both sides. The hallway was silent, and Orondo didn't see anyone.
Picking a random ownerless dormitory, Orondo went inside, took a quick shower, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
I didn't get to sleep until dawn.
The darkest hour before dawn.
He was awakened by the Eye of Truth.
[A battle has been detected near the host, please pay attention to the host for safety reasons......]
Orondo, who sat up straight from the bed in a daze, heard movement from outside the door.
Someone is fighting outside.
