Chapter 7: The Grand Arcanist

Along the way, Kalia walked silently behind Vane, not bouncing at all. After arriving at the place where the two of them frequented, Vane turned to Kalia and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you scared by the way I look? ”

"No, Brother Vane." Kalia shook her head, looking like she was about to say something.

Vane looked at Kalia's uncomfortable appearance and smiled at her and continued to ask, "Then what have you been thinking along the way?" Following me without saying a word is not like your usual one. ”

"I'm thinking about what Ilkira said, he will definitely become a Grand Arcanist in the future, what if he comes to bully us again?" Kalia asked, a little worried.

A child, after all, Kalia had been frightened by the name of the Grand Arcanist that Ilkira had spoken. Vane laughed helplessly when he heard Kaliya's words. Then he shook his head and said to Kalia, "Don't worry, he can't become a Grand Arcanist. ”

"Huh? Why? After hearing Vane's words, Kalia asked in surprise, "He can already use arcane arts at the age of four, and he is called an arcane genius by other elves." ”

"Silly girl, it takes a lot of things to become a Grand Arcanist, and these are explained to you that you can't understand." Vane said as he patted Kalia's little head with his hand.

"But Brother Vane is only two years older than me, how do you understand?" Kalia didn't pay attention to Vane's hand patting her head, but looked at Vane curiously and asked.

"This ...... Anyway, all you have to remember is that Ilkira can't become a Grand Arcanist. Vane heard Kaliya's curious question, and he didn't know what to say to Kaliya, so he couldn't tell her: I'm a time-traveler, an adult. If Vane dared to speak out, Bao Buqi would be lying on the laboratory bench of some Grand Arcanist the next day, waiting to be tested.

Seeing that Vane didn't want to say, Kalia didn't ask, but just replied, "Oh." ”

In fact, Vane is not telling nonsense, Ilkira cannot become a Grand Arcanist. Not to mention that he is just a little better than the average High Elf talent, even if he is a true genius, the kind of ability to use arcane arts at the age of one or two is useless.

As mentioned earlier, the passage to the upper level of the Kingdom of Quel'Salas is completely blocked. But how did it get blocked? Here I have to talk about the management structure of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which is entirely owned by the Arcanists as the political management of the country. If you want to be a high-level person, you have to be a Grand Arcanist.

It doesn't sound like much, but the problem is that in order to become a Grand Arcanist, you have to have the materials to cast your spells when you first start learning them. In Quel'Salas, there are not a lot of these low-level spellcasting materials, and they are not expensive, but they can't stand the large amount of use.

For example, if you want to learn a one-ring spell, you must first learn the spell model of the one-ring spell, which can be completed from the spell book or scroll, and then you have to actually release it, you must ensure that you can really release this spell, and then you can really learn this spell. In this case, it is necessary to use the casting material to cast the spell. Only when you have learned it thoroughly will you be able to cast spells with more mana instead of spellcasting materials.

Once you've prepared the casting materials, you'll start experimenting with them over and over again, then find out where you're casting the wrong spell, and start casting again until you're actually successful. Each time a spell is cast successfully, the cast material is consumed. In this way, the amount of casting materials needed will be very large, and one casting material is not expensive, but with such a large amount of casting materials, the amount of money required is very large.

Then when you finally succeed in casting the spell, then you can record the spell in your spell book according to the steps and circumstances of your spell casting. That's how you learned this one-ring spell. But the problem is, there are so many one-ring spells that you can't learn just one, right? So how much money will be needed?

In addition, the casting materials of the two-ring spell are much more expensive than the casting material of the one-ring spell, and the money required is more. The amount of money required to learn this ring of spells is a bottomless pit. Only the great family of Quel'Thalas had the financial resources to support the Grand Arcanist. These great families are the true high-ranking people of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

That's not all that makes Ilkira unable to become a Grand Arcanist, you must know that even if you need this bottomless pit of wealth, it's a big deal that Ilkyra goes out on an adventure and tries to get money by all means. The real main problem is that you don't have the knowledge of the seven to nine rings of the arcane that the Grand Arcanist needs to master. All of this knowledge is monopolized by the royal family and the extended family of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas. No matter how hard Ilkira tries, how can you become a Grand Arcanist without this knowledge?

Not to mention the casting materials for learning the arcane from the Seven Rings to the Nine Rings are not available on the market in Quel'Thalas. How do you become a Grand Arcanist when you can't buy it with money? It was because of this situation that Vane concluded that it was impossible for Ilkira to become a Grand Arcanist.

Because of this situation, the High Elf civilians of Quel'Thalas usually only learn a little bit of the arcane skills required for the job, or even do not learn these arcane knowledge at all, but do some other work. After all, in ordinary life, only the trick of 0 rings is enough.

Coupled with the social welfare of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, every High Elf has no pressure to live, but there is no stage for them to unleash their talents, so most High Elf civilians spend their extra time on various personal gatherings.

Ambitious and aspiring High Elves leave the kingdom of Quel'Thalas to wander outside. Most of the High Elves who leave Quel'Thalas will settle down in Dalaran. Because it's a little bit more vibrant. Of course, there are also High Elves who leave Quel'Thalas for other reasons in search of a more exciting life, usually as thieves or rangers who go out on adventures in various dangerous areas. The reason why they become thieves and rangers is because they only have enough money to gain knowledge of these two aspects.

These High Elves, who often go out on adventures, are instantly recognizable from other High Elves. Because these High Elves are not as arrogant as the other High Elves, and their actions are not as graceful as the other High Elves, they can even give the impression of being rude. This makes them not very popular in Quel'Thalas, but outside of Quel'Thalas, they behave like this, and they are a normal adventurer. Ordinary High Elves always give other sapient beings a sense of arrogance, so the High Elves actually don't have a very good reputation among sapient beings of other races.
