For the High Elves, they barely felt the breath of war! The whole of Quel'Salas is still as quiet as ever.

Carlin was on a carriage bound for the Wraithlands, this time not as lively as before, except for a taciturn dwarven coachman, and he was the only traveler. Carlin was just happy to be free, and he had a little more time to read.

Before leaving, he went to the Sunfury Library once again and borrowed a lot of books......

"Branching the Theory of Time Travel to the Practice of Precision Magic", a rather obscure treatise on the esoteric aspects of spells and teleportation! But its author, Carlin, is well familiar, Antonidas, from Dalaran...... What is even more remarkable is that Antonidas was only 12 years old when he published this paper, and for this he received the Ribbon of Kenrito's Supreme Wisdom. He is the youngest ever recipient of the award.

This was only the first paper, and after a cursory look at it, Carlin skipped it and flipped to the second paper...... "The Reverse Use of Some Protective Spells, and What They Really Mean".

"This is it!" Carlin's whole body was shocked.

Archmage Antonidas is perhaps the best protective mage in the world, and this paper is what Carlin is looking for!

In fact, at his level, he doesn't have the right to borrow this book, but thankfully he has a good relationship with the head of the Sunfury Library.

"It's no secret that some spells can create fire or ice to destroy your enemies, but we learn spells not only to destroy, but also to protect ourselves and our allies. Abjuration spells contain spells that resist elemental damage such as fire, ice, acid, and electricity, and if you have enough spell slots, you can also master an anti-creature enchantment that simply prevents all creatures from approaching, and a more advanced mental barrier for protective spells that can block all mental effects......

Many people overlook the fact that the word Abjuration does not mean to protect, but to abstain, to give up. So the principle of protective spells is not to protect something, but rather, to give up something. So when we use some protective spells in reverse, it can have an unexpected effect.

For example, the simplest of the protective spells, the 'Magic Shield', should be clear to scholars who know a little bit about protective spells, it can turn magical energy into a barrier to protect the caster, and if applied correctly, this spell can withstand even the most terrifying attacks!

But what if we use the 'Mana Shield' backwards, so that the Mana Shield is not just to protect us or our partners, but to control our enemies in reverse...... When properly applied, enemies trapped in a magical shield will actually struggle to break free from this restraint; And when we deliberately compress this barrier, we can even directly make the other party completely lose their combat effectiveness.

This 'magic shield' used in reverse, I'll call it Confinement!

Not just the 'Mana Shield' spell, but many other protection spells can also be used in reverse......

As one of the philosophies of magic goes, the properties and effects of magic itself do not mean what people think of it. As a spellcaster, you must be clear about the structure and operation of the magic itself, and as for its effects and people's opinions, always come second.

……”

"Very well written!"

Before Carlin could finish reading, the voice of the All-Seeing Eye sounded in his head.

The Omniscient Eye went on to comment: "Very creative findings, and quite well-founded, the authors of this paper are of a high level! ”

It was the first time Carlin had heard the All-Seeing Eye speak so highly of a mage in Azeroth.

Carlin flipped to the last page of the paper and whispered, "The author was only fifteen years old when he wrote this paper......"

The All-Seeing Eye was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Then if you put him in the most glorious period of Nessreel, he may be able to achieve as great things as Lord Casas!" ”

……

"Mr. Mage, the Land of Spirits has arrived!" The taciturn dwarven coachman shouted simply and neatly.

Carlin put Antonidas's paper back in the package, paid the fare, and stepped out of the carriage...... The Wraith Lands is a land of dim light, perhaps because it is too far south for even the light of the Well of the Sun to shine here.

To the southeast of this land is Zuaman, the capital of the forest trolls, and almost every land here is populated with High Elves and Troll Scouts!

Carlin stepped out of the carriage, and soon he found a guide!

"Hello, Mr. Ranger......" Carlin ran briskly.

The Ranger glanced up at Carlin and saw his red robes and the cross-shaped emblem on his chest.

"The trainee mage of the second ring, that should be the training mage arranged for the ranger team...... Which family are you from? What is your name? The Ranger asked aloud.

"From the Sunfury family, my name is Carlin......"

Carlin ...... Sunfury ......" Ranger flipped through the roster in his hand little by little, and then stopped: "I think you're 24 days and 13 hours late......"

"This ......" Carlin suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I went to the north some time ago, and it was my family who reported my name to ......"

"You don't need to explain to me......" The Guiding Ranger waved his hand and continued, "But there is one thing I must tell you, the Ranger squad you were assigned to, their captain is very difficult to mess with, you have to be prepared to get into big trouble...... Come with me! ”

Carlin followed in the Ranger footsteps, and learned through a brief conversation that his name was "Hadurun Bright Wing".

I walked through one forest after another, and the forest here was very dirty, and it couldn't be compared with the Yongge Forest...... Karin summoned an ice barrier to envelop his body, preventing his robes from getting dirty.

About an hour later, the two of them reached the gate of a camp.

"This is it, Mr. Carlin, good luck!" Haduron patted Carlin on the shoulder, then shouted at the camp, "Ranger Squad 4396, your Mentor Mage has arrived!" ”

With that, he turned and ran into the woods.

"Mr. Mage, I think you're almost a month late!" A crisp and familiar voice rang out from the tent in the camp.

"Is that you?" Carlin's eyes widened.
