Chapter 8: Dalaran! Dalaran! Dalaran!
"Master, master, Dalaran has arrived, are you going to go in?" In front of the carriage, Jobi's voice was heard.
Has it finally arrived? Orondo jumped out of his carriage and brought it here from Sephorosa, and crossed the northern highlands of the hills, and after fourteen long days, until noon on the eighth day of the month of harvest, he reached the outskirts of Dalaran.
Twenty-one days have passed since the day of the sale of secret recipes in Nanhai Town.
In his last life, he was a librarian and worked in the library for five years, soaking in a pile of books every day.
When I have nothing to do, the most I read is all kinds of messy books.
Normally, no matter how many books you read, except for a few that you remember or are more interested in, the content of other books will be completely forgotten.
Fortunately, there is the Eye of Truth, which integrates all the memories of the original Orondo, and also finds the things in the corners of the current Orondo.
The tens of thousands of books that librarians used to read have now become a repository of knowledge for the Eye of Truth.
The method of refining sucrose in Azeroth is a method created by the Eye of Truth according to the way on Earth, combined with the rules of Azeroth, through Orondo's experiment, and named it "Snow Sugar" by Orondo.
Originally, Orondo wanted to grow sugar cane in Sephorosa and then refine the sugar himself and sell it for a profit.
But later, on the way to Nanhai Town, he thought about it for a long time.
Sephorosa was just a viscount, and he wasn't really a big force in the hills of Hillsbrad.
Not to mention several kingdoms and behemoths like Dalaran, there is one duke in the hills, and there are more than a dozen marquis and counts, each of which is a guy who can't be messed with for the current Sephorosa Lord.
Growing sugar cane and refining it for sale was initially feasible. But when other forces, big nobles and big businessmen notice this profiteering business, they will definitely arouse the covetousness of these behemoths.
Are there good people in this world?
Yes.
Are there bad people in this world?
Yes, and more than good people.
Orondo wasn't sure that he and the Severosa Collar would be able to keep the business unless he became a powerful wizard and made others afraid of his power.
On the other hand, when one's own strength is strong enough to make other forces jealous, someone will automatically send it to the door if he doesn't look for this kind of business.
Which top wizard is short of money to spend? Which Archmage of Dalaran is afraid that he has no money?
Arcane, magic, is its foundation. Family, power, and territory are auxiliary.
Orondo, who thought about this clearly, simply sold the secret recipe for refining sucrose in exchange for the gold coins he needed to study in Dalaran!
30,000 new Lordaeron gold coins, of which 10,000 gold coins became checks that could be deposited and redeemed in Dalaran, and the remaining 20,000 gold coins became a long material purchase list, on which were the purchases of various magic materials and books, which Orondo would need to use when he studied in Dalaran next.
Stepping out of the carriage, Orondo stared at Dalaran in front of him.
Dalaran is located on the southern shore of Lake Lordamire, and the walls are curved into a semi-circle against the lake. The first thing I saw was the gate into the city.
He had to be amazed by the grandeur of the gate, and the fact that such a magnificent stone building could only be made possible in a world where basic craftsmanship was backward could only be attributed to the power of magic and arcane.
One glance at the coat of arms of Dalaran that struck him was carved into the stone gate of the city tens of meters highβit was an eye and symbol against a purple background, the symbol of the Kenrito Council that ruled Dalaran.
"Let's go inside!" Orondo said as Joby and the coachman quickly removed the old man's luggage from the carriage.
The carriage was to be sent to the post station outside the city, and the cost of each day and night was 50 copper coins. Carriages and horses were not allowed in the city of Dalaran, and even when the king came, he had to enter on foot.
This is the pride of the mages.
The people of Dalaran often say, "A farmer is okay, a hunter is okay, but a king can't!" β
Anyone can come to Dalaran, but secular kingship is not welcome here, this is the magical center of the northern human kingdom, and this is a paradise for wizards.
The coachman and Joby carried their luggage, followed by a somewhat excited Orondo, and the people entered the city of wonders with the same admiration.
The coachman is the coachman of the Sefrosa family and will be back tomorrow. Jobby, however, had to stay in Dalaran to provide the service and work he could for the master.
Orondo looks excitedly at the city, a big city that will be crushed by demons in the "original plot".
From the outset, he noticed the harmony between nature and the city, because there were trees and stone buildings everywhere, ancient oak trees transplanted and protected were higher than stone walls, the roads in the city were mostly paved with cobblestones, flanked by tree-shaded sidewalks, houses beside the streets, balconies and spiral stairs were everywhere, and window sills, balustrades and pillars were decorated with flowers and plants planted in carved bowls.
Compared with the floating Dalaran in the impression, which is at most about the size of a village, the Dalaran in reality is hundreds of times larger.
"Sir. Violet Academy has arrived. Jobie, who had been to Dalaran several times and was ready for Orondo, said, "I inquired. You will be greeted by a guide and we will be directed to a resting place. Or are we waiting for you outside? β
"Don't wait for me." Orondo, who was actually very excited, waved his hand.
Watch Joby and the coachman leave.
Orondo turned his head to look at Violet Academy.
Dalaran likes purple very much, and Kenrito simply uses purple as the main color. The mages felt that the mystical purple color was the best depiction of arcane, as opposed to Quel'Thalas, who admired gold and red.
The first thing Orondo saw was a large gate, the two-meter-high purple stone wall cut off the view of ordinary people, and on the stone wall, there was a faint power of magic.
"Sir, no casual entry is allowed here." There was a small gate next to the gate, but the guard stepped forward to block it politely - it was already seen that he was well dressed, and it was not ordinary citizens or adventurers who were so polite.
"My name is Orondo Sephorosa, and I have a special letter of recommendation, can I give it to Master Hadron?" Along with the letter, it was a gold coin that shimmered with golden light, and the guard looked at the letter of recommendation and also accepted the gold coin: "You wait a minute, I'll go and hand it over to Master Hadron." β
After a while, the guard came out, and he was full of smiles: "Mr. Sephorosa, please come in, and I will lead you to Master Hadrun." β
Entering the college, there are forests, lakes, and all kinds of small buildings, and the guards are very enthusiastic about them.
Originally, each small building was a mage's research room and a place for apprentices to study, and there were only six tall buildings, namely the six huge mage towers, the Dalaran Council of Six, and the mage towers of the six Dharma masters.
The energy gathered by the six mage towers resonated with each other, making the concentration of energy in the academy far stronger than in the ordinary environment, which was good for the apprentices to learn magic.
In addition to the six mage towers, the large library is more eye-catching. As soon as Orondo heard that it was the library, his eyes lit up.
Walking to the bottom of one of the many small buildings, at the door, the guard told him, "Mr. Sephorosa, Master Hadron is inside." β
"Thank you for showing the way." Orondo gave another gold coin, and the other party left with a smile on his face.
Two new gold coins of Lordaeron, equivalent to half a month's salary of a guard.
Orondo pushed the door open and saw an elven mage, with pointed ears and blue eyes, who was keenly aware of the tremendous energy hidden in him.
[Unknown elven mage, with huge energy, can easily kill a hundred apprentices like the host......]
The Eye of Truth gave the information he had observed, and he pouted in his heart.
"Master Hadrun?" He didn't know if he was visiting the elven mage. "Hello, I'm looking for Master Hadrun."
"I'm Hadron. Are you Orondo Sephorosa? The elven mage calmly asked, "Sir Delon's son?" The new Viscount of Sephorosa? β
"Yes." Orondo replied that Delon Sephorosa was the name of his cheap daddy, "I'm Orondo Sephorosa, Viscount Sephorosa. β
