Chapter 90: Before the Ceremony Begins

Vane and Walker earned the elder's consent, and the two of them lived at the foot of the mountain.

The two of them lived in a small town about half an hour away from the mountain road of Ironforge Castle. Not the town that was used for trading when you left Ironforge last time.

Due to its proximity to Ironforge and its safe location in the heart of the dwarves, the town does not have walls. It's just a collection of dwarven houses built together. Here in this town, Vane also meets the figure of a human nobleman and his retinue.

These human nobles were dressed in sumptuous silk, and their retinue was dressed in clothes made of cotton. It seems to be a high-ranking nobleman of the human kingdom. You must know that the silk imported from Quel'Salas arrived in the human kingdom, and a single piece of clothing could be sold for hundreds of gold coins, and if it wasn't for the great nobles, they couldn't afford to wear it at all. Moreover, even the attendants wore clothes made of cotton.

At this point in time, in the human kingdom, it was enough for each member of the family to have a set of linen clothes. Ordinary civilians can be said to be in a state of unclothed. But that's right, after all, the human kingdom is in a state of the Middle Ages, and it is normal for civilian people to live in hardship. Otherwise, where are so many human thieves?

The great nobleman of the human kingdom was surprised to see Vane, because the High Elves would not allow the child to leave Quel'Thalas. That is, the docks in Vane's village are not regulated by the Kingdom of Quel'Salas, otherwise Vane would not have been allowed to come out.

Of course, if you want to come out, you can run out no matter what, but the life outside is too poor compared to Quel'Thalas, what are ordinary civilians running out for. It is precisely for this reason that not so many High Elf civilians leave Quel'Thalas, and only those High Elves who are ambitious and unwilling to be ordinary will run out.

Vane and Walker stayed at the inn for the night, and the next morning, at about six o'clock, Wayne and Walker were already dressed and left the inn and headed for Ironforge Castle. After all, the Iron Fort is halfway up the mountain, and if you want to enter the Iron Forge, you have to climb the mountain, and if you don't get up early, it's too late.

"How did you sleep yesterday?" Walker asked Vane as he walked.

"Not bad, even better if you don't snore." Vane replied with a smile.

"It's impossible, I never snore when I sleep." Walker waved his arms and said to Vane, "Barka never told me about snoring. ”

"That's right, because Barka himself snores." Vane nodded to Walker, "As soon as he lies down on the bed, he will be able to fall asleep immediately, and he will sleep so dead that it will be a hassle to get him up." ”

"Am I really snoring?" After listening to Vane's words, Walker asked with some uncertainty.

"It's nothing, a lot of people are snoring. It's just a habit. Vane looked at Walker's cautious appearance and said to him with a smile.

"Really? A lot of people are snoring? Just habit? Walker asked Walker again.

"That's right." Vane nodded in certainty. This kind of thing is not a big problem, the only thing that makes Vane a little sad is that the dwarf is a little loud and snoring, which is not a big deal.

"I'm relieved when you say that." Walker breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. Then he thought of something and asked, "Boy Vane, why did you come here to watch the Holy Light Induction Ceremony since you are so unaccustomed to the environment of Ironforge Castle?" ”

"Because I'm curious." Vane explained to Walker as he hurried, "When Kalia and I became priests, we didn't go through any rituals, so we're just a little curious about the Light Induction Ritual. ”

"Do you have to satisfy your curiosity even if you live in Ironforge?" Walker asked, puzzled.

"Of course not, I'm going to buy some spell casting materials for experiments. And you probably remember the elevator we took when we left Ironforge Castle, so I'll do it again. Vane smiled at Walker.

Anyway, none of them had personal assets of more than two hundred gold coins, so it wasn't a problem for them to spend a few to make themselves feel better. This is what Barka or Kalia and Vane would have chosen to do. After all, they were all High Elves, and they had lived in Quel'Salas for a long time, and the prices there were very high, so in their opinion, one or two gold coins was not too little, but it was not enough for them to be willing to suffer for it.

The two of them chatted and walked along, and before eight o'clock they arrived at the secret hall of Ironforge Castle.

"It doesn't look like it's started yet." Walker saw all the underage dwarves waiting in line in the plaza in front of the Arcane Hall.

"What's going on?" When Vane heard Walker's words, he felt a little strange in his heart and asked, "Didn't you say that every year it doesn't start until after ten o'clock?" ”

"Of course, the ceremony is after ten o'clock." Walker nodded, "But the minor dwarves who choose to become priests and perform the ritual will be called in at around eight o'clock. ”

"Damn, you should have told me sooner so we could have rushed this way sooner." Vane said to Walker in annoyance. Because of him, he almost delayed Walker's business. I don't know why the elders agreed to let them live in the town at the foot of the mountain yesterday, and what if they were late.

In fact, the elder was not optimistic about Walker's attempt, so even if Walker was late and could not make it in time for the ceremony, the elder did not feel that there was anything to worry about. After all, Walker has the job of a warrior, unlike other underage dwarves, who have to wait another year if they miss it, and they will be a year later than everyone else. In addition, he learned from Vane that all the High Elves were not used to living in such a hot environment as Ironforge Castle, so the Elder agreed to the fact that Vane and Walker lived in the town below the mountain.

Now the Elder was waiting in the square with the Thunderspear's Preparatory Priest, and had already handed the list to a high-ranking priest at the door of the Arcane Hall. When the time comes to eight o'clock, the senior priest will begin the roll call. All the young dwarves who are called will enter the hall of the arcane and wait for the ritual to begin.

Seeing Thunderspear's team of pre-priests, Vane and Walker hurriedly walked over and lined up at the end of the entire line, waiting to enter the secret hall by name.
