Chapter 24: One Year Later
A year later.
Northwest of Hillsbrad Hills.
Dalaran.
In the bright, dust-free arcane laboratory, Orondo put down his scalpel and took off his gloves made of blue dragon skin.
"The 7th experiment of the "Arcane Floating Dragon Embryo Migration Experiment" is over." Solan Lian, who was dressed in a golden red mage robe next to her, looked down at the magic notes in her hand, and said softly: "Experimental process: First, extract the magic attribute fragment of the arcane floating dragon on the characteristic levitation, reverse record the bio-based blood vessels that match the non-attribute primordial dragon, and inject them into the body of the arcane floating dragon embryo - smooth." β
"Experimental process 2: After the end of process 1 and mechanical time, the embryo and the basal blood vessels have completed fusion, and no rejection has been observedβit has gone smoothly."
"Experimental process three: With the blessing of the nutrient solution, the surface of the eggshell of the Arcane Floating Dragon embryo became smooth and beautiful, and the embryo survived successfully - smoothly."
"The first step of the dragon magical creature experiment - "Arcane Floating Dragon Embryo Migration" was successful."
"Huh......" Listening to the report of the beautiful mentor, Orondo exhaled softly, and he smiled and said to Solan Lian, "It's finally a success." The next step is to see if it can develop smoothly and whether it inherits the characteristics of the two magical creatures after birth. β
Solanlian closed the lab notes, then looked at her student and nephew tenderly, "I think you should go and take a break now." You haven't slept for a day and a night. β
Orondo nodded.
"Shall I go take a rest first?" He asked.
"Yes." Solan Lianqing nodded softly, "Go ahead." I'll keep an eye on it for you here. β
"Okay. Thank you, mentor. Orondo smiled and left the laboratory, but instead of leaving the Mentor's Tower, he went directly to the Forbidden Land of the Wizard's Tower, the fifth floor, Solan Lian's bedroom.
Immediately after that, without taking off his clothes, he threw himself on the tutor's soft velvet bed, took a few deep breaths and fell into a deep sleep.
When he awoke, it was dark outside, except for Elune, who was still blooming his silver.
Through Elune's kindness, Orondo saw the Mentor Solanlian leaning against the wall with her arms and shoulders in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in her bedroom, looking up at Elune.
The sound of him getting out of bed seemed to disturb her, and Solanlian turned her head to look at it, as if there were stars in her eyes.
"Awake?"
"Wake up."
Orondo got up from the bed, jumped to the ground, walked barefoot on a carpet tanned from precious mountain lion skin, walked to the mentor, and sat down beside her.
Teenagers develop very quickly. A year ago, he was only as tall as his mentor's shoulders, and a year later he was as tall as hers.
Looking out from the windowsill, most of the lights in Violet Academy had been extinguished, and it should be late. Looking at the mentor's hands on his shoulders, Orondo asked Solanlian, "Is it cold?" Would you like to lend you my warm arms? β
Solanlian glanced at him, but with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, she didn't speak, moved to his side, but didn't lean close to him.
A year is a short time.
A year is a long time.
Long enough to change many things, long enough to make many relationships sour.
For example, Orondo's height, and Solan Lian's relationship with the student's cousin.
"Go back and rest." Orondo gestured to the velvet bed behind him, and a hand reached for his mentor's hand, "It's still early in the morning." β
Solan Lian didn't open his outstretched out, he was led by him to stand up, just looked at him and emphasized: "It can only be ...... Go to bed! β
"Sleep, of course!"
"What else could it be?"
A guarantee that students don't care.
Although Solanlian knew in her heart that his guarantee in this regard was as fake as that of an egg that could hatch a real dragon, she was still involuntarily led by him and walked towards the velvet soft bed.
There have been 1st, 2nd, 3rd...... What does that do if it stops the tenth time?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
A year of time.
It's not just the student-tutor relationship that is changing.
This year is the year 2750 of the Solatin calendar.
The Solarin calendar is a calendar used by humans, and the gear calendar of the gnomes, the wine calendar of the dwarves, the solar calendar of the high elves, etc., are all time calendars used by intelligent races to record history.
The Soladin calendar is named after the only emperor in human history, Soladin the Great, and it is said that the beginning is when the Great unified the human tribes and began to establish a kingdom.
Dalaran also uses the Solatino calendar, after all, the main members of Dalaran are also humans.
Legend has it that Dalaran also wanted to launch his own magic calendar, so that it could be different from ordinary humans who used the Soladine calendar, as a proof of the superiority of the mage.
However, this was opposed by all human kingdoms, and there were a large number of mages within Dalaran who opposed it, and the High Elf mages who dominated Dalaran at the time did not support it - the elves were more willing to respect Soladin the Great than Dalaran Mage who had helped them back then.
Therefore, the promotion of the Dalaran Magic Calendar eventually failed, and it was not really officially adopted by Dalaran, and Dalaran has been using the same historical recording method as other human kingdoms.
July 2750 in the Solatin calendar, the month of fire and water, is the hottest and rainiest month of the year in most human settlements.
The latest issue of the "Kenrito Monthly" was printed, and 15,000 copies of the monthly magazine were sold out outside Violet Castle as soon as it came out - a new copy of the "Kenrito Monthly", with only a thin 30 sheets of paper, and the price was always ten Dalaran gold coins.
Every human kingdom has its own gold coins, and Dalaran is no exception. Among the forces that humans can influence in the human world, the most widely circulated currency is the new gold coin introduced by Lordaeron ten years ago, but the most recognized and most purchasing power currency has always been the official gold coin made by Dalaran.
In the past, each issue of Kenrito Monthly would generally only print 2,000~3,000 copies, and occasionally there would be 5,000 copies of an issue of the Venerable Master's papers or academic articles.
Since six months ago, the monthly issue of Kenrito has sold more than 10,000 copies.
Three months ago, that issue of Kenrito Monthly had achieved a record sales of 19,534 copies!
And the reason for all this is that since half a year ago, every issue of the "Kenrito Monthly" will have a mage signed "Orondo Sefrosa", who publishes his own magical ideas and academic papers in the monthly magazine.
Just like this issue.
With a bag of cat food he bought for a friend in his arms, Ansrem Ruin held the latest issue of the monthly magazine he had just bought, and read it with his head down as he walked.
He skipped past the academic papers of the previous mages and turned straight to the end, where several pages in a row were an arcane academic paper titled "The Beauty of the Construction of Magical Biodiversity".
Author's Attribution: Orondo Sephorosa.
The first paragraph of the opening paragraph of the paper made Ansleem Ruin's eyes light up -
"The magical natural world is far beyond the reach of our mages and the boundaries of what we can imagine, and even today, when the theory of magic is shining, mages will repeatedly hit a wall in the face of mysterious and complex nature."
"Mages tend to only notice the spell itself, and few mages can notice the beauty of all the physical creatures around us."
"There are very few mages who analyze the bits and pieces that make up everything from a professional perspective. The mediocre mage, who only pursues the harmony of the arcane arts with the macrocosm that seems to be related to the whole, and in a rational way of composition and composition, in order to balance the gap between the different spells. β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing the highlights, Ainsrem Ruin simply stopped on the side of the road and put the cat food he brought for his friend on the ground. He crouched down and began to read carefully.
This is a feasibility discussion for mages to try to find out why they are so harmonious from the merits of naturally occurring magical creatures, and even ordinary creatures, and then find ways to apply this coordination to their own mage paths.
For example, why ordinary birds can fly, and how mages should learn from flying birds how to make flying spells more reasonable and easy.
From shallow to deep, the paper even discusses whether it is possible to find a way to give wisdom to flying creatures such as magic carpets and flying saucers commonly used by mages, so that they can become good helpers for mages to travel.
Ansrem Ruin read it over and over again, trying to absorb the nutrients that were useful to him in the paper, and the young mage was completely fascinated and did not notice that someone was coming.
"Ansrem. What about my cat food? Bigg and Voss were hungry, and they didn't eat dried fish...... Oh, I saw it. A voice reached Ainslem Ruin's ears, and a figure bent down in front of him, picking up the cat food he had accidentally placed on the ground.
"Oh! I'm sorry! Kel'thugad. I forgot to bring the cat food back. It's all to blame for Orondo Sephorosa, his papers are so fascinating. Ansrem Ruin quickly stood up and apologized to his friend embarrassedly, with a very sincere attitude.
Ansrem Ruin had always wanted to know the mage who had been fascinated by just a few papers through a friend's introduction.
"Just let them starve for a while. I don't think Bigg and Vos will be mad at you. Kel'thugard looked at Ansrem Ruin with a blank face, and he noticed that Ansrem Ruin had the brand-new Kenrito Monthly.
"The latest issue of Magic Monthly?" Kel'thugad asked.
Ansrem Ruin nodded honestly and raised the pamphlet in his hand, "I've already read it once, do you want to read it?" β
"No, I don't. I read his latest paper the day before yesterday. Kel'thugad refused.
"Huh...... I really envy you. You can be his friend and get in touch with his new ideas as quickly as possible every time. Ansrem Ruin said enviously.
Kel'thugad did not respond to this topic from his fellow disciples, and he said coldly, "Ansrem, the mentor told us to go back, he has something to announce." β
"Okay."
