Chapter 73: Promotion

If Orondo had a God's perspective, he would have noticed that the rulers of Quel'Thalas and the ruling class of Dalaran had a surprisingly consistent attitude towards him as a half-breed.

Wooing and distancing. Willing to give resources, to help, but unwilling to accept him.

The pros and cons of this is that when he is not good enough, he will be regarded as a hybrid by the two bloodlines, and will be regarded as a heretic of each other's races.

However, when he is good enough. Both bloodlines were willing to help him, though. But the two bloodlines themselves will be worried about being occupied by the dove, so they will never completely accept him.

Orondo doesn't have that kind of God perspective, and he's currently being bothered by something else.

First of all, the eye of truth is in his retina, densely packed with various prompt messages that are almost swiping the screen:

[The host begins to meditate deeply ......]

[Host consciousness, soul detachment ......]

[When the host touches a higher level of energy, the host may begin to promote......]

【Warning! Warn! Suggest that the host stop meditating immediately ......]

[Detected that the host has come into contact with a high-level being, suspected to be a high-level creature of the Holy Light, and suggests that the host seek help from them......]

【Warning! Warn! Warn! Detected that the host has come into contact with the deepest dark side of the Infinite Darkness, and the host is advised to stay away from the ...... immediately]

【Warning! Warn! Warn! Detect that the host is exposed to the aura of chaos and destruction, and immediately stay away from ......]

【Warning! The host soul begins to wander and become unconscious. It is advisable for the host to stop meditating immediately, otherwise the soul may be scattered in the infinite darkness and will not be able to return to the ......]

【Warning! Warn! Police ......]

[Detect that the host encounters a high-level order, and it is recommended that the host contact the other party and ask for help......]

[Detected that the host soul began to condense and sublimate, the energy boiled, and the promotion began to ......]

[It has been detected that the host's soul is returning, and the high-level existence on the order side has retained goodwill, and it is recommended that the host continue to contact him......]

【Warning! A vortex of energy appears in the host's body, warning! 】

[Critical! Critical! Critical! Energy starvation, energy starvation! Energy starvation! Absorb nearby energy ......]

[Detects that the largest energy source near the host is the staff Elunis, and begins to extract Elunis.] 】

[The energy vortex expands, and Elunis resists and continues to extract.] 】

[An energy vacuum appears near the host, and a huge absorption range begins.] Detects that Elunis has stopped resisting and begins to draw energy from the vicinity......]

[Energy Vortex Mutation, Cause of Mutation Unknown, Consequences of Mutation Unknown......]

[Detects that Elunis is beginning to be withdrawn from the staff, and is automatically thrown into the host's body, combining with the mutated energy vortex......]

【Start a larger area of ability drain......】

【Warning! Warn! Energy is insufficient, continue to expand the range of energy absorption......]

【……】

I don't know how long it took.

Orondo lay flat in the chamber, exhausted and drained of energy.

But at the same time, he felt extremely full, both mentally and physically, as if he had been eating for days and nights, and he felt like he was going to be broken.

The Eye of Truth in the retina swiped the screen-like prompts, and he didn't have the energy to check them one by one.

He lay lazily, remembering the existence of what seemed to be a fellow Elunis he had encountered in the endless darkness.

Orondo couldn't help but mentally ask Elunis, "Elunis, I may have seen your kind. Manonas, Derekna, Warossid, do you know these names? ”

After a while, Orondo waited quietly, but the chatter mentally retarded did not respond.

Orondo touched the side, and the staff was still there, but it gave Orondo a different feeling.

The mage immediately sat up, nervously looking at the staff—it was an artifact, and one of the top mage artifacts in Azeroth. Its position is not under the cane, and it is much stronger than the teeth of any Sargeras hound.

The staff was silent, and the originally suppressed but powerful arcane energy body on it disappeared without a trace!

Who stole my Elunis?! Such a big arcane energy body is here!!

Fortunately, there is an eye of truth that understands the beginning and end of the matter, and stands up at the right time to solve Orondo's confusion in a panic:

[The arcane energy body Elunis has merged with the host and is in a deep sleep]

"What?"

[Analysis of this device: The host was unwell when he first came into contact with the energy of the huge sunwell, and using the meditation method provided by Egwen, the soul consciousness strayed into the depths of the boundless darkness, came into contact with the high-level existence on the arcane side, and accepted the gift from the other party......]

[The other party's gift causes the host's body to appear in a vortex of energy, constantly absorbing the surrounding energy.] The energy body Elunis is closest to the host and is the first to be absorbed by the host. The energy body Elunis resisted strongly at first, but when the host's soul returns, the energy vortex turns into an energy vacuum, and Elunis cannot resist being sucked into the host's body......]

[Conclusion: The energy body Elunis has merged with the host, and the device has detected that its consciousness is sleeping.]

After reading the hint of the Eye of Truth, Orondo was dumbfounded. Yourself this is ...... Ate Elunis??!!!

That mentally retarded ...... who chatters a lot I actually ate it myself. For some reason, Orondo felt remorse.

"I don't know how many days have passed......" Orondo, who was in a slightly strange mood, felt a layer of ash on his face.

[Eight sunrises and sunsets, the energy vortex appeared two days ago, and the energy body was devoured by the host yesterday]

The Eye of Truth responds.

I could feel the majestic mana in my body, and I felt like I couldn't use it up, but Orondo was still in a bad mood.

He knew what was going on.

But it's useless to overthink it. The Eye of Truth says that Elunis's consciousness is only asleep, and since it has not disappeared, it will always wake up.

Then ask what was going on with it, after all, this mutation came so suddenly.

Orondo stood up. I felt very mentally exhausted, but my body was stuffed with energy, and I vaguely felt that my heart had changed, and it had become a mass of energy.

After this wandering and eating Elunis, Orondo knew that he had been promoted.

The spirit is emptied, and the spirit outside the membrane is still penetrating, and with every penetration point, the membrane disappears a little bit. Promotion, promotion to the Seven Rings.

In the system of Quel'Salas and Dalaran, the six and seven rings are the most obvious watersheds.

Below the Seven Rings, even a high-level mage is just an ordinary mage. Above the seven rings, it is only after becoming an archmage that he begins to have his own characteristics.

In fact, he already knew that although he had not taken the mage ring exam, he had already reached the sixth ring - below the seventh ring, and the mage only needed to accumulate knowledge, spells and energy, and he could naturally achieve it.

The difference between the seven rings and the six rings is reflected in the biggest significance in reality - whether it is Dalaran's library or Karazan's library, there is no magic book with more than seven rings in the magic books.

Egwene explained to him why: "The so-called Seven Rings are the beginning of the mage's qualities. Starting with the Seven Rings, the same spell will appear differently in different mages' hands. What is the difference, when you reach that realm, you will naturally understand. ”

Orondo had asked his aunt about it, too, but his aunt was only an astrologist with six rings. She hadn't crossed the hurdle herself, and she couldn't explain it to him.

The world of arcane cannot be expressed in words. You can't know the mystery without experiencing it yourself. The promotion to the Seven Rings is actually a natural process, the mind is like an enlightenment, and the spirit and soul are cleansed.

Below the sixth ring requires accumulation.

Above the seven rings, it is the soul of the mage that begins to move towards a higher level, which can also be said to be evolution.

Orondo found that he could now easily gather free arcane particles. Wherever the mind goes, arcane particles form various forms in obedience to his will.

The Servant's ability to cast spells comes from perception and almsgiving. The Arcanist's ability to cast spells comes from Mastery and Discovery.

After feeling his promotion, Orondo didn't have time to regret accidentally eating Elunis, because the promotion was the soul cleansing that brought about the realization continued.

Unlike gaining the mysteries of knowledge with the help of the Eye of Truth, this promotion was a promotion on his own soul.

If the upgrade below the sixth ring is that the computer hard disk memory increases, it can store more knowledge and run more energy. Then this promotion of the seventh ring is an upgrade of the CPU. Souls become stronger and can handle more arcane.

Orondo, who had already stood up, sat back down. Next, he has to be familiar with the changes in the Seven Rings, and constantly communicate with the Eye of Truth about how to continue to move forward after the Seven Rings.

But he didn't know.

The vortex of energy he created caused a shocking wave in Quel'Thalas.
