Chapter 35: Late!
Winterhold was a very large city before, no one can say how big it is, since the great destruction, most of Winterhold's territory and people have sunk into the sea of the undead, but Winterhold Mage Academy still exists. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The residents of Winterhold are rumored to be that the Mage Academy led to the destruction of Winterhold, and gradually rejected the Winterhold Mage Academy, and the Mage College of Winterhold was gradually closed, and it was stingy with its knowledge to outsiders. Of course, even though alienated by its inhabitants, Winterhold is still a sacred place for mages.
In the early morning of the 9th day of the month of Yuhand, Wei Xu and his party arrived at Wintercastle. On the way, they encountered the Imperial army and the Stormcloak, and the convoy came to a halt, and the soldiers of Snowman City guarding the convoy remained completely neutral, and the two did not continue until the convoy was victorious by the Imperial army, during which neither side came to harass the convoy. However, because it was two hours late, it was the early morning of the 9th.
"Boss, book three rooms." A young man in a blue thickened cloth robe braved the wind and snow to walk into the Frozen Furnace Hotel early that morning, followed by a tall bald Nord man wearing steel plate armor, and a beautiful female mage in a thin cloth robe, this group was Wei Xu and his party.
The innkeeper cleaned up the table and asked, "Are you here to attend the job fair for the tutors of the Mage Academy?" "I didn't mean to open a house for them.
"That's right, boss, you'd better open the room for us first and then clean it up slowly." Wei Chen's face was dissatisfied.
"Hey, why don't you hurry over to the Mage Academy? It's already begun. The boss glared at Wei Chen.
"Oops!" Only then did Wei Xu notice that in addition to a few warriors in the tavern, there was not a single mage! It stands to reason that with such a recruitment in Wintercastle, this kind of hotel should be overcrowded.
Thinking of this, Wei Xu turned around and hurriedly walked out of the hotel door and entered the wind and snow. Due to the great destruction, Wintercastle is covered with snowstorms all year round, and there are no crops, so food can only be transported from other towns.
Fortunately, the area of Wintercastle is very small, the population is almost less than a quarter of Half Moon Town, and the light from the magic well that reaches into the sky of the Mage Academy pierces through the wind and snow, which is particularly conspicuous, and everyone also found the signal in the wind and snow. The path into Winterhold is still as difficult as in the game, with a dilapidated stone bridge large enough for one person to connect Winterhold to the gates of the Mage's Academy, with a tributary of the Sea of the Dead below. If you step on it, you will fall, and if you have a good character, you may fall into the water and not fall to death, and your character is not good...... Fall down so high...... Several lives are gone.
Seeing that the gate of the Guanshi Academy was in front of them, the closed door made everyone feel a little cold. Walking up the steps, Wei Xu realized that there was someone who was "late" like them.
"Archmage...... As soon as I heard the news, I rushed from the temple in Snowman, which is so far from here. A soft, weak voice was pleading through the fence door to an old man with white hair and a white beard inside the door. This voice made a great impression on Wei Xu, that is, Koulett who walked together. And the white-haired, white-bearded, wrinkled old man standing on the inner layer of the gate is the archmage of the transformation system, Tovdil.
"But you're late. In accordance with our rules, late arrivals are not allowed. "The old man looks like he is doing business.
"You're Master Tovdier!" Wei Xu stepped forward at this time.
"How did you know about me?" Elder Tuo looked surprised, and then pulled his face. "Don't you think about slapping my horse so I can let you in, boy!"
"No, no, it's just that I occasionally got a metamorphosis space-based ancient spell book, and I learned a space-type spell, and I want you to always give me advice." Wei Xu whispered quickly.
Koulet and Mirabelle next to them were greeting each other affectionately for another meeting, and they didn't hear anything Wei Xu said.
Tovdil heard it clearly, his surprised eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "What? What did you say? ......" Wei Xu was so frightened that he hurriedly signaled him to be quiet.
"Come on, come on, you guys go in first to prepare for the job, boy, you stay and tell me clearly! If you dare to lie to me! Hum! Tuo Lao looked at Wei Xu's sinister appearance, opened the door and put Mirabel, Wei Chen, and Koulet in.
"You guys go first, I have something to talk about with Elder Tuo." Wei Xu said to the two women and Wei Chen.
"Jelde, be careful, I'll be waiting for you inside." Mirabelle couldn't help but be a little concerned about Wei Xu.
"Thanks to you, Master Djelde." Koulett's soft voice followed suit.
"Boy, should tell me what the spell is now, right? If you dare to lie to me, I'll throw you into the Sea of the Dead! Tovdil looked intimidated, but Wei Xu was not afraid at all. Tuo Lao is very kind in the game, and I believe that it should be almost the same in this world. This was also the reason why Wei Xu dared to tell him that he knew a space spell. Mage Wintercastle, if nothing else, let's just say Tovdil, who must be the best man, not to mention that when the task is completed from the game, the protagonist is about to enter the boss room, and when the old man arrives, he says, "Hold on kid!" "You can guess one or two. Moreover, the unified habit of the Winter Castle mage is to resolutely cherish the outsiders, and they are keen on research, so it is also a good choice to hand over the spell of deep concealment to the old man, which can not only make a good relationship, but also get the opportunity to enter the door.
"Tuo Lao, I didn't lie to you, look!" Wei Xu said, making a movement in his hand, and then "Canros!" "A green ball of energy gathered in his hand. However, Wei Xu didn't beat it out, and if he did, he would be drained again, and the space he had established before would be shattered, and the things inside would disappear.
"This magic can expand a portable space, and how much expansion depends on how much mental power you use, so a spell can directly suck out the spiritual power, and I won't cast a spell, and the final result is like this." Wei Xu explained, while dissipating the ball of light in his hand, and then stretched his hand forward, as if reaching into a transparent pocket, and took out an apple.
On the other side, when Tuo Lao saw Wei Xu using this spell, his whole person fell into a sluggish state. "How can it be! Why didn't I think of using the power of the spatial rift to open up space and then strengthen the support with spiritual power...... Haha, it can be like this!! Then he danced.
"That...... Can I go in? Wei Xu asked on the side.
"Go in, go in, don't bother me!" Tovdill went straight into a state of research, showing extreme impatience with Wei Xu's question.
Wei Xu smiled, this is what he wants! Then he went inside.
The walk leading from the main entrance to the courtyard is about a hundred meters, but you can imagine how big the entire mage academy is.
Entering the Mage Academy, the wind and snow inside have been blocked by the powerful magic attached to the building. The courtyard square was filled with mages dressed in cloth robes or sackcloth.
Mirabelle saw Wei Xu come in and waved to Wei Xu excitedly. Wei Xu looked at it, yo, after a while, there was already a small circle around Mirabele, and in addition to Koulet, there were two dark elf mages, a man and a woman, plus Wei Chen, a total of five people.
"Hello, I'm Dravis, a mid-level psychedelic mage, minoring in the Destruction Electricity Spell." The male dark elf greeted Wei Xu very friendly. The dark elves in Skyrim are a bit of a mess, but in Winterhold, as long as they are mages, they are treated with equal respect. Psychedelic magic is used to affect the enemy's five senses to achieve the purpose of controlling the enemy, such as rage, psychedelic representative spells, which can make a person feel that the people around him have become hideous demons, causing him to attack the surroundings; Of course, he also controls the elements to affect his interactions with nature, such as invisibility.
"Hello, I'm Jerde, a mid-level mage of the Transformation Department, and I'm minoring in the Destruction Electricity Department." Wei Xu also responded very politely. Most of the spells in the change system are auxiliary effects, such as stone skin magic, underwater breathing, etc., all of which change themselves or the surrounding space and time through spell energy.
"Falauda, a mid-level destruction mage of ice and fire, and a minor in summoning elemental systems." The summoning system is divided into four categories, summoning elements, summoning elemental creatures from annihilation, such as elementless soul bodies, fire elements, ice elements, and thunder elements; Summoning demons, summoning demons from annihilation, such as demon pariahs, demon warriors, and the like; There are also necromancers, who fight for themselves by summoning souls to fill the bodies of the dead, and finally there are binding weapons, which are weapons that summon the gathering of free energy in annihilation to form entities, and have great power.
Falauda is more tsundere...... Like Milabelle, he is very indifferent to strangers of the opposite sex, if it wasn't for Milabelle pretending to be unconscious and thinking that Wei Xu was not bad, I don't know what would happen now.
"Hmm...... I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself, my name is Koulet, and I am a mid-level priest who specializes in alchemy. Koulett's soft voice interjected. A priest is a mage who specializes in recovery, which is a collection of healing and necromancy spells.
"Well, I'm Mirabelle, a mid-level Ice Destruction Mage, a minor in the Transformation Department, and a Recovery Department." Mirabelle also arrived in time, and it seems that several people have not introduced themselves yet.
Okay, Mirabelle deserves to be a future vice president-level figure, and the people he just got acquainted with in the academy are basically future big names, Wei Xu couldn't help but think. Then, he bared his teeth and smiled, "I hope you will take care of me in my future work!" ”
"Not necessarily, Jelde, are you so sure you'll be valued by the archmage??" Deleves looked incredulous.
"Haha, I believe we can all get in!" Wei Xu laughed and said confidently.
Mirabelle and the others were also infected by Wei Xu's momentum, and they all became full of confidence, and even Falauda looked at Wei Xu with a little more recognition.
"Ann~Quiet!" While they were chatting with each other in a chaotic manner, a ball of light dragged a long syllable and shouted loudly above everyone's heads, spun around and dissipated.
Only then did everyone see that the door of the huge fortress directly opposite, the Elemental Hall, opened, and seven old men in delicate mage robes came out of it. Line up from left to right.
The dark elf on the far left, dressed in brown mage robes, spoke, "I'm the Chief Archmage of the Wintercastle Mage Academy, Savos Arran!" Thank you for coming to the Mage Academy to apply for a position! "It turns out that this dark elf old man is the chief archmage of the Mage Academy, that is, the recipient of the letter in Wei Xu's hand, Savos Ah Ran!
