Chapter 59: The Top Floor of the Sunfury Spire
After a short break, following in Tiffany's footsteps, Carlin stepped up the stairs of the Mage's Tower.
Along the way, they met several apprentice members of the family, mages of the first and second rings.
"Chief Tiffany, and Master Carlin!" They all stopped and greeted the two mages. In ten months, he broke through from zero to the third ring, and at the same time, he made a little achievement in the land of ghosts...... The name Karin Sunrage is now well-known in the family as well.
Carlin nodded at them, a return salute.
"Master Carlin, can you share with us the secret of the breakthrough?" One of the apprentices, dressed in a ring of robes, couldn't help but ask.
His voice trembled a little, and his face was full of anticipation.
Carlin smiled, then said softly, "Spend all your time outside of eating and sleeping meditating and studying; Let the library replace banquets as the most frequented place; After participating in several real battles...... Breakthroughs are just a matter of course! ”
"Isn't this kind of life too boring!" The trainee who was part of the questioning couldn't help but speak.
He was quickly reminded softly by his companions, and then reacted: "Sorry Lord Carlin, it's rude......"
Carlin shook his head, then ignored them and moved on.
"It's really boring!" Tiffany's voice rang out from the front.
"Yes, maybe...... But I'm having fun! Carlin replied casually.
……
The Sunfury Spire was about a few dozen stories high, and Carlin had been walking up for a long time anyway, and he still didn't see the end.
"Mentor Kane usually comes back, do you want to come up like this?" Carlin couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not, there are a lot of special teleportation arrays in the spire!" Tiffany replied, "But we, as students and juniors, should come to visit with due respect!" ”
Carlin nodded.
"Here it is, it's the top floor...... Go in, I'll be waiting for you outside! Tiffany paused abruptly and said.
Carlin slowed down and walked up little by little.
From the outside, the architectural form here is sharp, so the space inside should be oppressive.
But the opposite is true! In front of you is a spacious hall with a transparent ceiling that allows bright daylight to flood the hall completely!
Around the hall, several magic brooms were consciously unhygienic, and at the entrance where Carlin entered, two huge arcane constructs stood there, as if calculating something!
Carlin took a few more steps forward, to the bookshelves and couch in the middle of the hall.
Mentor Kane wasn't here, the shelves and couches were full of books and scrolls...... At the same time, Carlin saw that at the top of the front bookshelf, two scimitars were quietly placed.
The handle of the scimitar, engraved with a brilliant pattern, can of course be enchanted with a powerful weapon; The blade is quite sharp, flashing with a faint silver light!
"When I was younger, I used to be a law breaker!" An elegant voice rang out from behind Carlin.
Carlin turned around, only to see a strange phenomenon of spatial distortion behind him, the O-Neng Singularity opened a pathway, and a high elf dressed in gray robe walked in.
"Mentor Kane!" Carlin saluted.
"Carlin......" A smile appeared on Kane-Sun's lips, "Maybe this is the first time you've seen me, but I've been keeping an eye on you!" ”
On the face of the gray-robed elf, there seemed to be no trace of the passage of time, and Carlin even had the illusion that he was about the same age as himself...... But in fact, the other party may have experienced thousands of years.
"Continuing with the conversation...... Kane Sunfury continued, "I was a spellbreaker when I was younger, and the scimitars in front of you are the same weapons I used before, and I fought in the Troll War three thousand years ago, and even hacked several troll sorcerers to death with these scimitars...... Later I broke through the Six Rings and no longer needed the pair of scimitars, which have also been kept here until today...... Because I'm afraid that maybe one day I'll have to pick them up again! ”
Carlin listened silently, the mentor's memories of his youth.
"Okay, let's not talk about these old things!" Kane Sunfury shook his head slightly, then continued:
"I know everything that has happened to you during this time, your talent is very good, I have read the two papers you wrote, you have a very good imagination and creativity, and at the same time have an unusually sharp sense of smell for the arcane, these are all necessary for a mage!"
Carlin continued to listen to what the mentor had to say about him.
"In addition to this, you also have a talent that other elves don't have, and diligence ......" Kane-Sun sighed angrily and continued, "It's strange that for Queldore, diligence has become a rare existence under the light of the Well of the Sun! ”
"The ease of living, the affluence of life, and the long life of the vast majority of young Querdore have made them lose their ambition...... They are wasting their talents for the arcane, squandering the bounty of the Well of the Sun, and wasting their long lives...... It's not just us in the Sunrage family, but in the Dawnblade, the Dawn Light, the Blood Oath, and even the Sunchaser, all the time that happens and continues! ”
Carlin listened quietly to the mentor's complaints.
"You've been in the Wraith Land for a few months, so you should know what's going on there...... I'm guessing you've complained about why the Council doesn't get involved in the war against the trolls and help the rangers wipe them out completely? Kane asked in a nutshell.
"Yes, Mentor Kane, I've had such complaints!" Carlin nodded honestly.
"Because Quel'Salas is so comfortable, if there are no enemies and no opponents, the Spellbreaker's scimitar and the Ranger's feathered arrows will rust, and the mages will not be able to recreate the scene of the Heavenly Fire annihilation of three thousand years ago...... By that time, it may be time for Quel'Thallas to perish! Kane said with some sarcasm, "So we've been restricting the trolls, but we've never thought of completely destroying them, because Queldore needs enemies!" ”
Carlin nodded silently, this may be the wisdom of the upper class...... Carlin didn't know that Mentor Kane would talk to him about this, though.
"Come with me!" Kane Sunfury strode forward.
Carlin hurriedly followed him.
He followed Kane Sunfury to the high platform of Sunrage's Spire...... Looking down, everything in the entire Silver Moon City is almost in full view!
