Chapter 68: The Wandering Mage

The Violet Library, which is the largest library in the entire Eastern Continent.

Whether it's the size, or the number of books, or the number of readers.

The first floor of the library alone is almost larger than the entire Sunfury Library!

And the entire Violet Library has a total of six floors.

After all, this is the crystallization of the knowledge of the entire Dalaran for three thousand years, and it is far from being comparable to that of a Silvermoon City family.

If the collections of the major families of Silvermoon City, such as the Sunfury, the Mark of Dawn, the Sunchaser, and the Morning Walker, were gathered together, it might be easy to surpass this place...... But Carlin knew that it would be harder to do that than to drink the water from the Well of the Sun!

The most essential difference between Silvermoon City and Dalaran...... It is that although Silvermoon City is controlled by the royal power, it is actually loose; And Dalaran, although nominally controlled by the parliament, is actually centralized!

For thirty copper coins, you can get a pass to the Violet Library, which allows you to enter and exit any part of the library and borrow any book!

Yes, any book! Compared to the libraries in Silvermoon City with all kinds of restrictions, Dalaran's library has no restrictions.

Even a farmer who doesn't know anything about magic, as long as he pays the thirty copper coins, he can be qualified to borrow the books on the sixth floor of the library, which are worth hundreds or thousands of gold coins outside, describing the most complex six-ring spells, of course, whether he can read or not understand it is another matter!

Books above the fourth floor are forbidden to be taken outside the library, and can only be viewed in the tube or in a few reading rooms next to it.

Books below the third floor can be borrowed for up to 30 days!

There is a fine for damaging books, and the giant Violet Eye is always watching in the air, and it will not let go of the fish...... So when you get to the fifth or sixth floor of the library, you'll find that every reader is careful when turning the pages.

These precious books, if damaged, may have to go bankrupt!

As for the thief? Dalaran is not afraid of stealing at all!

Even if the best thief in the world like Duke Ravenhold came in person, he would be blown to pieces by the fireball in five minutes!

This is Dalaran, a city with legendary protective magic that even dragons can't break; There are hundreds of archmages of various schools and research directions; There is also a battle mage guard that is no less than the "Spellbreaker" in Silvermoon City......

……

Carlin walked into the Violet Library with a beautiful dream.

He even fantasized that there would be some powerful mage here, disguised as a "librarian", but he took a fancy to his talent and took him as an apprentice...... The dwarf and the drunken man a few days ago, after knowing about this, came to the door to apologize again......

But the facts are clearly a bit shocking.

Person...... The library is full of people!

Accustomed to the quiet environment of the Sunfury Library, Carlin was even a little unaccustomed to the first few days.

It's not that it's noisy, in fact, if anyone dares to make a noise, they will be kicked out by the battle mage...... Instead, if you wander away while reading a book and take two steps to the side, you're likely to bump into another mage and apologize to each other.

There seem to be countless bookshelves, and there may be several mages reading with their heads down in front of each shelf!

Those few spacious reading rooms, I will come back a little later and find it full!

In the early morning, before the library opens, there will be a dense queue from Violet Castle to the adjacent shopping street.

From the apprentices of the Zero Ring to the mid-level mages of the Five Rings, you can meet a lot of ...... here And there are also archmages above the Sixth Ring, but there are very few, and they have just broken through the Sixth Ring for a few years! It is impossible to see a mage above the seventh ring, after all, such a mage is already in a high position in Dalaran, and basically has his own castle or mage tower!

These are a huge number of mages, and they are of different races!

Humans, elves, dwarves, goblins, gnomes......

Carlin had even seen a troll, the green-skinned kind, most likely a forest troll from Zuaman...... Both of them passed by with some embarrassment.

Carlin was eager to walk over and say hello to the troll:

"Hey, hello buddy...... You're from Quel'Salas, too, fellow! ”

However, considering that Dalaran has a rule: for any reason, if there is a fight in the library, both parties will be deprived of the right to enter the library in the future...... Carlin dismissed the idea anyway.

At the same time, the idea of finding a powerful mage disguised as a "librarian" came to naught!

After all, there are so many mages here, and they are not the protagonists, so why should people find themselves?

Previously, at the Sunfury Spire, Carlin was arguably the hardest working member...... When you get to Dalaran, times have changed!

Anyway, he made a lot of effort every morning to wake up the tavern keeper Sorier, and then after opening the tavern door...... will consciously walk directly to the commercial street 300 yards away from Violet Castle, and the line will definitely be there!

……

This large group of mages who live their daily lives in the Sunfury Library call themselves "Wandering Mages".

Young mages who can find an archmage as a mentor are only a handful of ...... Most of the dreamers who come to Dalaran are apprentices and apprentices like Carlin, or below the Third Ring.

They basically have decent talents, and they also have the determination to march to higher heights, and they are not willing to give up their dreams now to attach some nobles to them as spell advisors...... But I lacked a bit of luck, so I had to rely on the library and listening to some public courses to study on my own!

Carlin is honored to be one of the "Wandering Mages".

The consumption level of Dalaran is still relatively high, for human cities! With the family's sponsorship, Carlin doesn't have to worry about spending and can live in the tavern...... And many ordinary "wandering mages" can only live in the towns around Dalaran, relying on boats to get back and forth......

The idea of finding a new mentor is behind me! There is no letter of introduction from Prince Kael'thas; When I visit someone, I hear that you only have three rings, and when I see that you are a High Elf from Quel'Thalas, I won't meet you in person!

The prince hasn't contacted Carlin since he sent Caponia to deliver a letter of apology from Ruin...... It may be that the prince is more disappointed in himself; Or maybe he's honing his will; It's more likely that he forgot about himself!

The family, represented by Tiffany, wrote a letter to Carlin asking about his current situation in Dalaran.

Carlin can't say that no one loves anyone here...... It's just vague that it's not bad......

Liadline also wrote to say that when she was done with the Sun Temple, she would rush to Dalaran to visit Carlin!

Carlin could only smile wryly at the contents of the letter......

If you can't come, take someone to the library!
