Chapter 124: A Letter from Home Sixty Years Later
The Severosa School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the most beautiful place in the world in my memory, and it was still in the Hillsbrad Hills at that time, in a beautiful environment. In addition to the winter and summer vacations, classes are held every day! However, it was possible to skip class from time to time to go to the city of Sephorosa, which was still the town of Sephorosa at the time, and drink and fish with the residents, where the human innkeeper was so beautiful.
Child, I heard your dad say that you want to be a mage and want to go to Sephorosa to study, and Grandpa is very happy! It's even happier than when I became a master craftsman at Nomorigan!
Your dad is a magical idiot who can't go to Sephorosa to study, and it's a lifelong regret of mine. Luckily, he got lucky enough to marry your mother, who was a famous genius student in Sephorosa!
Even the principal praised her for being smart!
Child, you yearn for Sephorosa, and that's a good thing! You said that you wanted to know about Grandpa's past in Sephorosa, and Grandpa was very happy, and now Grandpa will tell you about the past.
It was a long, long time ago, it should have been 60 years.
At that time, just north of the school, we could still see the perennial snow-covered Alterac Mountains. Occasionally we would climb the mountain to ski, and there were a lot of snow monsters below the mountain, but the snow monsters here are very sensible. Because their boss is the headmaster's servant, and the snow monster is Sephorosa's best friend! You've probably heard the story of Yetimas, the king of snow monsters, vs. the Doomsdaywalkers, and yes, it's true!
Heading east from the school, passing through several human lords' domains, you can see Talenmere, and beyond that is Dunhold Castle. However, there are many thieves and robbers in these two places, and some of them can sneak around, so it is best not to approach them at will, as they are prone to eating stuffy sticks.
Heading northwest, we can get to Hinterland, which we weren't familiar with when we first went to school. As we were about to graduate, some of the Dwarves of Hinterland also came to the school to learn spells.
That's why I've made several Hammerhammer dwarven friends, and they're no different from the dwarves of Ironforge! On vacation, they invited me to go there! There are griffons that don't fly to ride, but they are not allowed to fly over the mountains to the north, there is a lake in the middle of Hinterland, there is a sunken temple in the lake, we spent an afternoon exploring and could not find the entrance, the northernmost part of the lake is not far from a deep rift, the bottom is deep, we walk along the cliff all the way east to find a bridge, but we dare not cross it, because we see the dragon!
We saw a lot of baby dragons flying, and it must be the habitat of the dragons! Fearing that we would accidentally wake up the sleeping dragon, we hurried back the way we came.
Just south of the school, of course, is the headmaster's domain, and now the largest city in the Hillsbrad Hills, the city of Sephorosa – the same name as our school!
When we first went to school, the city of Sephorosa was just a town. Later, the lord, our greatest headmaster, began to build it, and the city of Sephorosa grew better and better.
What I remember most is that the principal engaged in a money fraud in the city...... Ah no, it's a wishing fountain for people to place their wishes on.
Let me remind you in a whisper: at the beginning, I also threw a silver coin into it every day, wishing to find my own dwarf mate, to learn the art of fire explosion, to invent the most powerful mecha, to make Gerbin hug my thigh and cry and admit defeat, etc.!
Until one day, I found out...... Every night, Dobby, the principal's butler, would lead people to the Trevi Fountain to collect silver coins...... Ahem, let's not talk about this topic. Go on, the next time I go to Ciudad Sefrossa, Mayor Joby will refuse me entry.
The city of Sephorosa is great! However, when we were studying, our development was still very average, and now it is said that there is a restaurant where the meal is superb, but it costs 200 gold coins to eat a meal! Hiss...... A Titan screw is only 200 gold coins! I couldn't afford to eat when I was studying, and I can't afford to eat now! If you come first in the entrance exam, I'll ask your dad to pay you for a meal!
Further south from the city of Sephorosa, there will be a big road, and you will walk along the road until you reach the sea, where the town of Nanhai is! Now there are a lot of fish-man friends out there, they're slimy, but there's a lot of goodies, like pearls, pearls, and pearls! In the past, there were fishmen who dared to approach and would be killed by humans.
It was the principal who changed all that!
To the north from the school is the territory of many human lords. It's an idyllic setting with lots of crops grown. At the end of the road is the mountains, and up the mountains are Loch Lordammere and Dalaran.
Dalaran was a magical city for humans before, and it is now. As we all know, there are several magical cities in our world! Dalaran, Silvermoon City, Sulama, Eresaras, Eternal King's Capital...... But there's only one magic capital! There will always be only one, and that's our school, Sephorosa!
Yes! Child! I miss Sephorosa so much! It was my lost youth, and I miss the days when I ran and sweated in the sun! I miss the punch to Gerbin's left eye at that time!
Child, you can now study in Sephorosa. Now Sephorosa is bigger and more perfect than we were then, hundreds of times better in all conditions, and she can fly!
But I still miss the old Sephorosa, it was rudimentary, it lacked everything, because the headmaster didn't have any money, and we had to eat bread with magic drinks for dinner! Except during the holidays, you can eat something delicious. If you want to eat meat, you have to go out and hunt by yourself! Compared to now, we were living in very difficult conditions! But we have a good principal, a lot of good teachers, a lot of good classmates...... When I think of them, sometimes I even cry.
Of course, I also have a good dean! Dean Elan, I miss him so much. Brave and enthusiastic, we will always be children of Ragnaros Academy! Kid, I want you to get into the Flame Academy. Of course, other faculties are also good. I don't pick, and you can't pick either!
I still go back to Sephorosa often, at least three times a year, sometimes five times...... You read that right, I used "go back"! Because for me, Sephorosa is my second home and I love everything there so much.
I decided that when I retired, I would go to Seforrosa to retire! I hate Gerbin, I don't want to be a great craftsman, I'm going to go to school to be a professor! But...... Hmm...... I and him Hearthstone, four wins in seven rounds, I lost! As a result of losing, he can go to school to become a professor, and I can only go back to Nomorigen to be a master craftsman!
You get the idea, right? That's why your parents don't support you for indulging in Hearthstone, but grandpa does for you to play Hearthstone!
So, kids. Grandpa's greatest hope for you is to meditate well and try to connect to the magic net as soon as possible, so that the owl of Sefrosa will come to deliver the message, and you will be able to go to school in Sefrossa!
You have to remember that in school you can't beat everyone else. But he must not lose to Gerbin's grandson, who was just as sassy as his grandfather! Also, remember to stay away from Milhouse's granddaughter, the Mana Storm family is crazy! Except for Professor Magnus, who has passed away.
Well, grandpa is tired. I'm going to go to the town hall tomorrow to fight with those artisan councilors. You have to be obedient, listen to your mother, and eat more!
If you're obedient enough, my Flying Golem will let you play for two days!
