The night is cold.

When Song Zheng led Gianna out of the mountain forest, it was already late.

Although it was difficult to travel at night, Song Zheng also learned a lot of magic-related information from Gianna along the way.

In this world, the most mainstream school of magic is the arcane system, which has the most abundant and varied magical abilities, and its practicality is far stronger than that of those elemental magics, and it is most sought after by the majority of mages, but it is also the most difficult to learn arcane magic well.

And to become a qualified mage, the training required is far more rigorous than being a priest.

"I started learning magic at the age of six, became an apprentice in magic at the age of eleven, and passed the mage examination at the age of fifteen and became a full-fledged mage." Gianna gave a general account of her experience.

"Six-year-old...... Fifteen years old...... Wouldn't that have taken ten years? Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, even a legendary figure like Gianna, who is known as a genius mage, takes ten years to become an official mage, so wouldn't it take even longer for ordinary people!

"This is relatively fast, it takes at least twenty years for ordinary people to become mages, and if they are poorly talented, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass the assessment for the rest of their lives, and they can only remain as magic apprentices." Gianna sighed slightly, obviously the path of the mage is not easy to follow, even if it is for her, it is difficult all the way.

"A lifetime apprentice in magic...... That's too miserable, wouldn't that be in vain? Song Zheng sighed, he estimated that he should be at the level of becoming a magic apprentice.

"Although the treatment of magic apprentices is far inferior to that of mages, it is still much better than ordinary people, not only can they settle in Dalaran City, but they can also work in the mage towers of other mages, the treatment is generally not bad, if you are not willing to help others, you can also find something to do by yourself, such as drawing some simple magic scrolls, or going to be an alchemist or pharmacist, that can get a high reward." Gianna explained.

"Can a magic apprentice be an alchemist or a pharmacist?" Song Zheng's eyes lit up, when he was in Nanhai Town before, he had heard many adventurers talk about this as a very lucrative profession.

Gianna nodded slightly: "Yes, if you don't want to do any of this, you can also go to some nobles' homes to teach magic, or go directly to serve in the army, Lordaeron's army attaches great importance to mages." ”

"It seems that the mage is really a mix, and the worst can also serve as a magic teacher for the nobility......"

Being said by Gianna, Song Zheng is more yearning for the profession of mage in his heart, although his 'stealing' skill is also very fast, but after all, there is a huge risk, like this time, he was chased all the way because he accidentally stole something from the cursed church, it is far better to be a mage.

"I don't know if you can teach yourself magic?" Song Zheng asked with some curiosity.

Since Gianna didn't take Orlando's magic book, he now has two magic books on his body, and if he manages to learn the elven script on it, he may be able to teach himself the magic in the magic book.

"Of course you can learn by yourself, in fact, many powerful mages are self-taught, but that generally requires a good magical talent, after all, magic is very complex, not that you can release it after learning the spell, you have to learn the understanding and touch of the magic net, the distribution and mobilization of magic power, etc., and even a small tone error when chanting a spell can lead to the failure of magic, so ...... For beginners, I still recommend attending a magic class in Dalaran. Gianna laughed.

"Magic training class? And such schools? Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this training class sounded too familiar, he had already seen all kinds of training courses when he was studying!

"What's so strange about this, there are countless people who go to Dalaran to learn magic every year, some people with a magic foundation can directly choose to follow those powerful mages through the exam, and then slowly learn magic in their mage towers, but those with a poor magic foundation, or no magic foundation at all, can only choose the magic training class in the city to learn from scratch, and then take the exam for those mages to recruit followers after they have a certain level of magic." Gianna explained.

"There are no requirements for the magic training class, right?" Song Zheng was a little moved in his heart, he knew almost nothing about magic at the moment, but he could go to Dalaran to learn it.

However, considering that the undead scourge is about to invade, he must also hurry up to avoid encountering Akmund who happens to destroy Dalaran.

"There's no requirement, just enough gold coins, if you want to study, I can recommend a good training class for you, which is run by my friend Luo Ning, and most people have to queue up if they want to go in, even if they have money." Gianna laughed.

"Ronin?" Song Zheng's eyes suddenly widened, it was another mage's thigh, and it was a few points stronger than Gianna, if Luo Ning didn't die, there would be nothing to do with Khadgar's kid in the back.

"Well, have you heard of his reputation, Luo Ning is very famous among young mages, when you report my name, at least you can get a twenty-percent discount." Gianna said with a smile.

"That's good, I will definitely study when the time comes." Song Zheng said, even if he can't learn magic in the end, he has to climb a relationship with Na Luo Ning.

After all, if you want to mix well in Azeroth, you still have to hug the thighs of these mages and paladins, you must know that in the future crises, almost every time it is the mages and paladins who are in the leading position!

As for the gold coins to enter the magic training class, it was not a difficult thing for him as a professional thief, as long as he found a few rich people to 'borrow' it.

As he spoke, the huge mills of Tarummere were already in sight, and under the starry sky, those wind mills tens of meters high looked like huge dark beasts.

"Let's hope those guys from the Church of the Curse haven't come to attack Talummere yet......" Song Zheng prayed in his heart.

Gianna beside her also restrained her smile, and even the staff in her hand, which had been emitting a soft light and acting as a flashlight, also dimmed.

"Let's not go into the city yet, but approach cautiously from the side to see if there are any enemies." Gianna said, apparently wary as well.

"Okay." Song Zheng nodded, in fact, in his opinion, it was best not to enter the city, after all, the infiltration of the Cursed Church in Nanhai Town and Talumir was very strong, and no one knew how many people in this city were believers in the Cursed Church.
