Chapter 120: Prince Varian
Although there seemed to be a rapprochement between the Duke of Sadombrick and Anduin-Lothar, there was a sense of saber-rattling in Karlin.
In fact, it is understandable that Lothar's battle plan, since he wants to give up a large area of land in the Elwyn Forest and Red Ridge Mountain and retreat to Stormwind City, will naturally damage the interests of these nobles who have fiefdoms over there.
Carlin didn't care much, though...... After all, behind Lothar is the support of King Ryan Ureon; Unless there are too many accidents, the presence of these nobles will not have any impact on the outcome of the war at this stage.
Lothar soon left, after all, he was the "Hand of the King" and had a lot of business to attend to.
Carlin, on the other hand, was wandering around the hut a little bored, and could vaguely hear Medivan's snoring in the hut...... Looks like the Astral Mage slept deeply?
Just when Carlin was very bored, he saw a flowerbed next to him and poked his head out......
A teenage boy dressed in a formal blue gown with his hair tied in a natural braid; As for his face, it's familiar!
Carlin could vaguely guess the identity of the other party.
"Is Lord Medivan alright?" Young Varian Ureon asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, he's asleep now." Carlin nodded, "Did His Royal Highness send you to visit him?" ”
"No, I came by myself!" Varian shook his head, "Lord Medivan has been very good to me since I was a child......"
The boy's words stopped suddenly, and he looked at the gorgeous scabbard around Carlin's waist and asked in surprise, "How are your swordsmanship?" ”
Carlin was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Varian had already taken his hand:
"Follow me......"
……
Despite his young age, Varian has a lot of strength.
He dragged Carlin to a training ground, not far from Medivan's hut...... On a row of shelves in the training ground, there were many protective suits and wooden swords.
"Come on, two moves!" Varian had put on a small hazmat suit and said heartily.
Karin smiled helplessly, then picked up a wooden sword about the size of an enemy fencing.
"Aren't you wearing protective clothing? It's a wooden sword, but it's also a good ......," Varian kindly reminded.
"No need......" Carlin shook his head nonchalantly.
"Then you have to be careful!" Varian rushed forward with his sword.
His strength was indeed very strong, and Carlin was close to him, only to feel a slight numbness in his left hand.
"You're holding a sword in your left hand!" Varian frowned.
Seeing the gorgeous scabbard on the opponent's waist, he thought that the other party was an excellent warrior; But after a few rounds of confrontation, it doesn't seem to be quite like it?
Carlin's knowledge of swords was limited to a small amount of theoretical knowledge...... Fortunately, he was holding a wooden sword in his hand, otherwise he might have cut himself to ......
Looking at Varian rushing again, Karin decided not to play like this with the other party anymore.
Varian was fast, and a sword shook through Karin's weapons to his left and right, stabbing him in the chest...... But before Varian could put a smug look on his face, his wooden sword flicked off without knowing what it had touched.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Varian's hand loosened, his wooden sword flew up and fell into Carlin's hands.
"You lost......" Carlin shrugged.
Varian finally reacted: "No...... You're cheating! ”
"I'm a mage, so why bother me?" Carlin gave him a blank look.
Varian then remembered that his father had said that this elf was an assistant to the astral mage Medivan...... Naturally, he is also a mage!
"Where's the sword at your waist?" Varian asked curiously, "What's going on?" ”
"I'm a battle mage, don't you understand......"
……
Finally fooling Varian, Carlin prepared to leave the training ground.
However, Varian still grabbed him: "That, Mr. Mage...... Can you teach me magic? ”
"Teach you magic?" Carlin froze, and the image of Varian smashing hellfire to death with a staff and shouting 'For Alliance' came to mind......
"It's not something I can just say, you have to depend on whether you have talent or not!" Carlin shrugged.
Humans are not like the elves, and under the nourishment of the Well of the Sun, everyone has an affinity for arcane...... Ordinary people who can become qualified mages are only a few after all......
With the identity of Varian Wrynn, if he had the talent to become a mage, it was impossible to be buried.
So it's only possible......
Sure enough, after hearing Carlin's words, Varian was a little deflated: "Indeed, Archmage Haglin said that it is difficult for me to become a real mage......"
As tactful as it sounded, Carlin continued, "Archmage Halgrimm is?" ”
"The court mage of Stormstorm, he is powerful...... But it's not as good as the Astral Mage......"
"You might be able to try this!" Carlin had an idea.
Two black bags were carefully placed in Carlin's hands.
"What is this?" Varian asked curiously.
"Is there a stake?"
"This ......"
Facing a row of stakes in front of him, Carlin took out a black bag, lit it on fire, and threw it over.
After a few seconds......
There was a loud bang, and several wooden stakes were almost blown to pieces......
"Oh my God, that's a powerful magic!" Varian sighed, "Can I use it too?" ”
"You can try, but you have to be careful......" Carlin nodded.
Varian picked up another black bag, learned from Karlin, lit it, and threw it to the stake......
With another loud bang, the young prince's music blossomed.
Carlin kept an eye on him to prevent any accidents and protect him with protective spells......
"Mr. Carlin...... Can you give me a few of these magic items to keep? Varian asked hurriedly.
"Nope." Carlin hurriedly shook his head and said, the explosives made of nitroglycerin are very unstable...... It's not good to rush to a child like Varian, in case something happens.
"It's dangerous, you can't keep it effectively!" Carlin explained to Varian.
Suddenly, the door of the cultivation ground was forcibly opened from the outside, and it was a group of Stormwind City guards.
Varian thought it was a noise from his side that alarmed them, and quickly explained:
"Don't worry, Mr. Carlin is showing me his magic ......"
"No, Your Highness!" The captain of the guard at the front said solemnly, "Please return to Your Majesty's side with me as soon as possible...... The fortress isn't safe right now. ”
"What's going on?" Varian was stunned.
"Master Halglin is dead...... Killed in his mage tower! ”
