It wasn't until midnight that Carlin returned to his cot.

In the past ten hours or so, he had meditated three times, and now his whole head felt like it was about to crack.

"Initial meditation is never easy!" The voice of the All-Seeing Eye sounded in Karin's head: "But as long as you get used to this process, you can feel the comfort of your mental power from emptiness to fullness. ”

"I really didn't expect that anyone would think this kind of process is comfortable?" Carlin complained weakly, "I'm starting to agree with the elves now, that meditation is a rudimentary method that human mages have come up with in order to obtain a source of magical power......"

"You can recover after a night's sleep, you just haven't adapted to the process...... host"

After feeling a little relieved, Carlin began to probe the blue ball of light in his mind again: the origin of his own magic power! After three meditations, it seems to have increased in size slightly.

"The host's mana origin has increased by 18.3% today, and when your mana origin relies on growth to twenty-four times the size of the current stage, you can break through and get rid of the title of apprentice!" The All-Seeing Eye explained.

"Twenty-four times, it seems far away...... And what about the elves who don't meditate? How do they grow their source of magic and break through? Carlin asked curiously.

"Directly taking the mana crystal, that is, the well water of the Well of the Sun, can nourish the source of mana in the slow absorption process!" The All-Seeing Eye replied, "So you don't need to meditate, you can naturally increase the source of mana!" ”

"I feel a little regretful!" Carlin smiled, "So will the strength of the magic source that has been increased through meditation be higher than the magic source that has been absorbed through external means?" ”

"That's nature! What is obtained with the help of external forces, the strength is definitely not as strong as relying on oneself completely! The All-Seeing Eye said without thinking: "Just like the Flame Explosion Technique directly released by a Five-Ring Mage, it is definitely much more powerful than the Flame Explosion Technique released by a Three-Ring Mage through a scroll!" ”

"Okay...... Then I finally feel that my hard work is worth it! Carlin said, falling asleep tiredly and involuntarily.

……

Early the next morning, Carlin got out of bed.

The discomfort in the brain seems to have completely disappeared, and it seems that what the omniscient eye said is true, and it can be fully recovered after one night's sleep.

Carlin took a loaf of bread from the fireplace, warmed a glass of milk, and as he ate his breakfast, he realized a small question: what did the original Carlin-Sunfury live on?

After all, he was just an ordinary magic apprentice, and he didn't seem to have any relatives in his memory!

This situation is still very common in the high elves, a couple of men and women in love because they did not take defensive measures, resulting in the pregnancy of a child, but both parties do not want to enter the palace of marriage from now on, so after giving birth to the child, they will be left to the man's family to raise, and the man and woman continue to enjoy the single life!

And Karin Sunrage, it seems, is just such a product!

There was a sudden knock on the door of the hut, and Carlin hurriedly put down the food in his hand and ran over.

Outside the door stood an adult female elf, wearing heavy makeup on her face, wearing a pale red mage robe, and carrying a handbag in her hand, looking a little impatient.

"Is it Carlin?" The female elf asked quickly.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Carlin said.

"Gresa, the messenger of the family!" As she spoke, the elf handed over a piece of parchment: "Hurry up, sign it!" ”

Carlin turned out to be parchment, and found that there were a bunch of names written densely on it......

"May I ask what is?" He asked softly.

"This month's subsidy......" the female elf Gresa Sun said impatiently, "hurry up and sign it, I'm busy!" ”

"Friendly reminder, the other party is a second-ring level apprentice mage, and if the host conflicts with her, the chance of winning is only 0.03%......" The voice of the omniscient eye sounded in Karin's head.

Carlin instantly dispelled the anger that had just appeared in his mind, and hurriedly wrote his name on the parchment.

The female elf grabbed the parchment and grabbed it, and then waved it lightly with her hand, and a faint fluorescence flashed in the place where Carlin signed before...... It seems to be a way to use magic to prevent counterfeiting.

Then, the two small bags were thrown into Carlin's hand, and Gresa Sunrage turned back as she walked, "The red bag is the subsidy of the royal court, and the gray bag is the subsidy of the family......"

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the female elf was no longer visible.

Carlin only heard the sound of metal touching from the two bags.

He hurriedly returned to the hut and opened it......

"Good boy, it turned out to be a money! No wonder the attitude is so bad! ”

A quick count shows that there are more than 80 silver coins in the red bag and 100 silver coins in the gray bag!

That's nearly two gold coins...... In the Tirisfal Glades or the Elwyn Forest, an average farmer's family may only earn two gold coins after a year's hard work!

And in Quel'Thalas, that's just a month's allowance for a mage's apprentice!

Carlin suddenly pondered for a moment.

This is the life of a mage in Quel'Thalas!

After all, this is the most prosperous place for magic in the entire continent, even Dalaran, the magic capital of mankind, is only comparable to the cutting-edge magic power, and the civilian and low-end magic is still far behind Quel'Thalas.

Whether it's a magic scroll, an enchanted product, or an alchemical medicine...... These things are at your fingertips in Quel'Salas and can be sold for sky-high prices anywhere on the continent!

After all, for Azeroth, magic is the primary productive force!

And there's no doubt that Quel'Salas is at the top of productivity.

The royal court is not short of money at all, and the major families are also very rich! So they don't mind giving the best benefits to the elves at the bottom!

Add to that the fact that the High Elves are born with a lifespan of thousands of years, and the Sunwell can provide an endless source of magic...... For the elves of Quel'Thalas, their lives are extremely laid-back, and they hardly have to worry about anything in life!

Carlin was stunned for a moment, then a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

"The host seems to be seduced by these mundane things?" The voice of the All-Seeing Eye rang out of Carlin's head.

Carlin shook his head firmly, then dropped the two purses onto the bed.

"No, I'm just lamenting that my luck is a little bad!"

"I have my goals before that...... I want to be a mage, a powerful mage! ”

With that, he walked to the woods where he had meditated yesterday.
