Chapter 66: Apprenticeship
In Dalaran, only archmages above the sixth ring are qualified to become a mentor......
And in the same way, it is necessary to have the strength of more than three rings! In order to get rid of the identity of apprentice and apprentice, and become a disciple of the archmage under the premise of majoring in the same school!
As Prince Kael'thas said before, Dalaran is very strict about the number of students a mentor can teach...... It doesn't matter if you are in the blue robe of the sixth ring or the white robe of the ninth ring, you can only teach two students at the same time.
Of course, this rule is not set in stone, if a teacher already has two students and has a young mage with great talent...... He applied to Dalaran in writing to teach the three students!
A mere Karin-Sunrage has attracted a little of the prince's attention, but only a little! Obviously not qualified enough, let Kael'thas make an exception for him!
The relationship between the tutor and the student is also very sacred!
It is completely different from the loose and unconstrained relationship of apprenticeship and apprenticeship.
For the tutor, the future development of the student can be an honor......
Dalaran had an old mage named "Lossac" who died seven years ago. He was just an ordinary six-ring blue-robed man who had hardly achieved anything in the study of magic in his life, nor had he achieved any success in the war between trolls and gnolls; But in the studio on the highest floor of Violet Castle, his portrait hung in a very high position, higher than countless seven-ring and eight-ring mages.
This is purely because he has another identity...... One of the best mages in Kenrito's history and the current Speaker of the Council of Six, the mentor of the Master Mage Antonidas! This simple identity allowed him to gain a place in the portraits of mages whose eighth and ninth rings far surpassed his strength.
For students, mentors are also the most powerful support.
Once a young Master is accepted as a disciple, the ArchMaster will do everything he can to pass on what he has learned in his life...... It's not just a responsibility, it's an obligation! The Mentor has the duty to teach his student about the arcane, help him plan his future path, and even provide him with the right magical equipment!
These things are strictly regulated by the Council of Six! If a tutor fails to fulfill his or her obligations and responsibilities to his students, he or she will be severely punished by the Council of Six...... And if a student makes a big mistake, his tutor also bears part of the responsibility!
This simple and somewhat impersonal rule is in fact the root of Dalaran's rapid development over the past 3,000 years.
It attracts mages from all over the Eastern Continent, regardless of race, wealth, or status! As long as you have enough talent and don't need anything else, you'll have the possibility to storm that Arcane Throne and become the top cluster in this world!
Every year, many mages leave Dalaran! They may have no hope of reaching a higher position on the arcane path, and they choose to leave in bleakness; Perhaps it was because of the performance over the years that the mentor was completely disappointed, and after fulfilling his due obligations, the mentor-apprentice relationship was terminated.
Also every year, countless young mages come to Dalaran, and they greet the screening of those archmages with longing and anticipation!
This endless ability to exchange blood has made the city of Dalaran climb the arcane ladder step by step, and it has also become the most dazzling pearl in the entire Eastern Continent little by little!
……
Prince Kael'thas sent his secretary, Caponia, to write a total of three letters of introduction to Carlin.
One was for a High Elf mage named "Landalloch - Morning Stalker", who had spent nearly two hundred years in Dalaran, a protective mage of the Six Rings.
One was for a dwarf mage named "Gilbert Caleri" from Nomregan, a six-ring protection mage.
The last letter was addressed to a human mage named "Ansrem-Ruin", a native of Dalaran and a mage of the Seven Rings Protection System.
Carlin decided to give it a try and become an official disciple of the Archmage, and he had a valid reason to stay in Dalaran!
He went to the compatriot first.
Archmage Randalok greeted Carlin very politely, and he even had a grand banquet to be held.
"I'm glad to see you, Carlin...... It's a pleasure to meet a fellow human in a foreign land, let alone a young and promising mage like you! ”
However, throughout the feast, Landaloc did not mention anything about apprenticeship until the end of the feast:
"I'm very happy with you, not to mention that you're the one introduced by His Royal Highness...... But one thing is unfortunate, I now have three students, and I can't make room for you anymore......"
Carlin was a little disappointed, and had to choose to go to the dwarf mage.
Archmage Caleri was short, not even half the size of Carlin...... The thought that such a humanoid creature might become a future mentor made Carlin feel a little awkward.
The dwarf mage took Carlin's letter of introduction and read it carefully.
"It stands to reason that since it's a letter of introduction sent by Councillor Kael'thas from Senator Kael'thas, I shouldn't have refused!" The gnome paused and continued, "But I'm sorry, I happened to take in a young mage who traveled to Stormwind City three days ago, and now we have two students, so ......"
It seems to be another refusal!
Instead of showing the loss on his face, Carlin chose to leave after thanking him.
It seems that only one last person remains, Archmage Ruin, whose magic laboratory is located in Ruin Square in the center of Dalaran.
Just a seven-ring mage, naturally it is impossible to achieve any great feats to make a square named after him...... It seems that this Lord Ruin comes from a magical family, and his ancestors have produced a certain powerful mage.
Carlin found the lab, followed the advice of the attendant outside the door, and walked inside.
A drunken mage, lying on the couch, snoring loudly...... On one side sat a young human mage at a small table.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Seeing Carlin enter, the human mage leaned in.
Carlin frowned and said, "I'm Karin Sunrage, a mage of the Three-Ring Protection School from Quel'Thalas, and I brought a letter from Prince Kelses, so I want to meet Lord Rein!" ”
"Are you here to apprentice?" The human mage reacted quickly and said with a smile, "Another disciple of Master Lu Yin left Dalaran forever just two weeks ago, and there is currently a vacant position...... It's a good time for you! ”
"Is that so?"
Carlin glanced at the thirty-something human drunk on the couch, could he be his future mentor in Dalaran?
