Chapter 44: The Caravan Through the Wraith Lands
A ray of sunlight spread over the camp...... For the Spiritlands, this level of sunlight is already rare!
Carlin woke up spontaneously, his mind clear!
This period of life in the Ghost Land and the rangers is very regular...... He sleeps very well every night, and when he wakes up every morning, his mental state is also very good!
"After testing, the host's control over the spell has officially reached the 'qualified' stage!" The voice of the omniscient eye sounded in his head.
Control...... Qualified?
"What is the essential difference between the first ring and the second ring? It's control! The difference between the first-ring mage and the second-ring mage in spell slots is not very large, but in terms of controlling the details of spell use, the second-ring mage is much better......" The words of the omniscient eye, Carlin remembers very clearly.
Two months ago, on the ship returning from Northrend, Carlin had crossed the threshold of the second ring...... But that wasn't the end, and since then, he's felt his mastery of spell details steadily rising, and to this day!
"In other words, I can now be said to be a truly qualified second-ring mage?" Carlin asked.
"Yes!" The All-Seeing Eye replied, "It also means that the host can hit the Three Rings at any time!" ”
"Impact the three rings?" Carlin was a little surprised, he always remembered that there was a qualitative gap between the second and third rings: "So fast, I thought it would take a long time to accumulate?" So what is the essential difference between the second and third rings that you mentioned earlier? ”
"Any qualified second-ring mage can hit the threshold of the third-ring at any time...... But it's not easy! The omniscient eye continued: "The essential difference between the second and third rings is inspiration? ”
"Inspiration, what the hell is that?" Carlin was a little confused.
"Inspiration is something that's hard to describe, and it's not something concrete!" The All-Seeing Eye said: "It is in fact an emotion, and when it thoroughly fills you with your spiritual power, it means that it is your inspiration; In the same way, when you enter this state, your power will also be qualitatively changed...... At least eighty or ninety percent of mages will stay at this threshold for the Arcane Way, unable to find inspiration in their lifetime...... And what's more: the more powerful the spiritual power is, the more difficult it is to find inspiration! ”
"It's still very abstract, can you give an example?" Carlin thought for a moment and continued.
"There are so many types of inspiration, and different mages need very different kinds of inspiration, whether it is the frustration of a failed spell experiment or a ...... of encouragement from a friend," the Omniscient Eye described as best he could, "Take the example of the first owner of the Omniscient Eye, Lord Casas, when he was young, he witnessed his closest friend being completely devoured by the Demon of Feeron, and he vowed to drive this monster out of Nesserel once and for all, and in that instant, he had a breakthrough! ”
"Looks like the cost of this inspiration is a bit too high?" Carlin sighed.
"Yes, judging from the spiritual power that the host is showing at this stage, it will be much more difficult to find inspiration than an ordinary second-ring mage...... So there's no need to rush, just wait with peace of mind! The All-Seeing Eye advised.
……
"Mr. Carlin, Miss Winresa let us all go!" The ranger, Olisa, knocked at the door.
"Okay!" Carlin replied as he scrambled to his feet.
It seems that this kind of leisurely life in the land of ghosts in front of you will not be too long! After all, now, the relationship between Quel'Salas and Zuaman has become tense little by little, and friction has become more!
Carlin walked into the halls of the camp, where all the members of the entire Ranger Squad had arrived.
Winresa Windranger sat in the center of the hall, a letter in her hand.
"A caravan needs to travel through the Wraith Lands to deliver goods to Quellinth...... Orders from the Taquilin side, we need to escort them! Wen Leisha put down the letter in her hand and said to everyone present.
"Whoever is so capable, he can also get a pass to the Wraith Land at this time ......," several rangers whispered.
"If you can still ask Ta Quelin, give us an order to escort ......"
Quellinth is the closest elven camp to Eastern Lordaeron (the Eastern Plaguelands), and to get there, you have to pass through the entire Wraith Lands, and even some of the troll's territory...... Considering the recent tensions with the trolls, the trade route was closed a month ago.
Similarly, since Quel'Thalas's connection to the South is only by sea, some of Quel'Thalas's magical goods have skyrocketed in the South recently!
It seems that the owner of this caravan is trying to take a risk?
"Are you coming with us?" Wen Leisha suddenly glanced at Carlin and asked casually.
Due to Carlin's performance during this time, Wen Leisa's hostility towards him has eased a little...... But just like that, if you think about it, this is the first time Wen Leisha has spoken to herself in more than a month.
Carlin thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, it's too boring to stay alone in the camp, can I go with you?" ”
……
They soon arrived at their destination: a post station in the southern part of the Yongge Forest.
It used to be an important base for travel between Eastern Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, but lately it has been much quieter due to the influence of the trolls.
More than a dozen large carts were parked not far in front, and the wooden wheels were much wider than ordinary carriages, which allowed them to drive more steadily.
The various members of the caravan, including coachmen, men, and so on, seemed to be in the hundreds...... There are people of all races, about half of them are High Elves, and there are quite a few dwarves, humans, and goblins.
As the Ranger squad approached, a red-haired High Elf sprang out of the convoy, followed by a black-skinned dwarf and a scarred human bald man who appeared to be his bodyguard.
"Thank you very much for coming, mighty rangers...... With your help, I'm afraid no trolls will dare to show up on this trip of our caravan! The red-haired elf said excitedly, "I'm Myra-Dawnblade, the master of this caravan!" ”
Winetha walked over and spoke to the High Elf named Myra.
A sleek and greedy Queldore, Carlin knew in his heart that this kind of personality was not common among the High Elves.
"It turned out to be a member of the Dawnblade family, no wonder he was able to get a pass and ask Taquilin to send someone to escort him!" Orisa, who was on the side, sighed softly.
"Dawnblade, what's wrong with this family?" Carlin asked, curiously.
"Mr. Carlin, you don't even know that...... The Dawn Blade can be a very powerful family in Silvermoon City, and the owner of one of the Six Towers, Lord Solan Lian, is a member of the Dawn Blade family......" Olisa responded.
Solan Liane? The name seems familiar...... By the way, it seems to be the third of the Storm Fortress, that stupid hanging boss who is extremely disgusting and needs to pile up Aokang!
Wen Leisa seemed to finish negotiating, and motioned for the team to follow her.
Carlin followed the rangers...... For some reason, he felt something strange about this caravan!
