Chapter 62: The Mage and the Aristocrat

In the mountains and forests east of Talenmere, a hidden makeshift base.

Although the temporary base looks very shabby from the outside, the interior is very well decorated, and there are even large quantities of wine and dry food stocked.

"It's not a bad place, Edras Blackmore would have quietly built such a base near Talenmere, it seems that he has a lot of ambitions, and he doesn't want to be confined to Dunhold." After taking a sip of the wine he had just made from the cellar, his face finally softened.

"That guy is very ambitious, if it weren't for his deliberate arrangement, we wouldn't have been able to get so many war horses to form the Knights, I guess he wants us to create chaos on the side of Tarummir and South Sea Town, and then he took the opportunity to expand his territory, it is said that ...... He'd been secretly training his orc slaves. Owen said in a low voice.

Gu Xin immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph, that guy really thinks those orcs still have the bravery of the past?" The orcs are nothing more than a bunch of walking dead today, and ...... It will not be so easy to pick up our bargains, and sooner or later Nadnhold Castle will also be in our possession. ”

At this moment, a man in black hurried in from outside, and then reported to him the news from Nanhai Town.

"What? The thief followed Gianna back to the town of Nanhai? And you're going to Dalaran? Gusin's face remained calm, but the fingers that almost clawed the glass showed the anger in his heart.

"Yes, they first returned to the town of Nanhai with the troops of Kurtiras, and then immediately left the city and headed northwest, the target must be Dalaran." The man in black who came to report hurriedly said.

"Damn, that thief's luck is good, he actually met Gianna who escaped somewhere, and now he is still following him to Dalaran!" Gu Xin said hatefully, and at the same time, the crystal wine glass in his hand finally couldn't bear his anger and exploded.

"It's really troublesome now, we originally thought that guy had hid in the mountains, and he should eventually return to Talenmere quietly, but we didn't expect him to meet Gianna, so it's probably going to be difficult to catch him again......" Owen also showed a sad face, they were able to set up a trap to attack Gianna once, but it was difficult to attack a second time, especially now that the garrisons everywhere are probably already prepared.

"Catch that thief anyway!" Gu Xin immediately said in a deep voice, the time for the scheduled plague was getting closer and closer, and he had to retrieve the stolen crystal bottle as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the above.

"This ...... We're too far away from Nanhai Town now, and it's too late to chase and kill, no matter how strong we are...... It's impossible to attack Dalaran......" Owen spread his hands and smiled wryly.

At the beginning, those large number of orcs crossed the snowy mountains with the secret assistance of the Alterac Kingdom, and then launched an attack on Dalaran, although they successfully occupied Dalaran, but the losses of the orcs' troops were also very large, so that they had to slow down the attack, missing the opportunity to quickly attack Lordaeron, and they are now only a team of more than a thousand people, even if they call those syndicate thieves again, it is absolutely impossible to attack Dalaran, and even a small mage tower can not be defeated.

"Although Dalaran's defense is very strong, it will never refuse ordinary people to enter it, you immediately go and send some of the most elite soldiers over, I will take them into Dalaran." Gu Xin said coldly.

"Master Gusin, are you going to Dalaran in person?" Owen was shocked.

"Hmph, I was originally the mage of Dalaran, and now it's just a trip back, that kid thinks it's safe to get to Dalaran, but he doesn't know that there, our power is even stronger!" The corners of Gu Xin's mouth twitched, revealing a very hideous smile.

……

It is true that Dalaran will not refuse entry to ordinary people.

Song Zheng and the others entered Dalaran City without any hindrance.

There are many carriages coming and going in the city, but unlike the carriages that carry goods on the side of Talenmere, most of the carriages in front of you are very elaborate and luxurious.

Looking at the various insignia on those carriages, these should be the carriages used by the nobles.

According to the information that Song Zheng understands, the more ancient the nobles, the more complex the patterns of their emblems, and those patterns are also directly related to the canonization of the kingdom, so the more complex the pattern of the general family emblem, the greater the family's contribution to the kingdom, and the higher its title.

"How can there be so many nobles in Dalaran?" Song Zheng asked in some surprise.

As a magical kingdom, Dalaran is governed by a council of six, which is more or less a human kingdom with a democratic system, and it stands to reason that there should not be so many nobles.

Gianna immediately laughed and said, "Most of these are the nobles of Lordaeron, and most of these nobles have estates in Dalaran. ”

"These nobles are from Lordaeron? How could they all run to Dalaran? ”

"Don't you want to buy all kinds of valuable magic items, Dalaran is the most prosperous place for commerce on the mainland, and many noble families have people studying magic here, so those nobles will basically buy real estate or shops here." Gianna explained.

"Do the nobles like to learn magic? Don't they like knights? Song Zheng couldn't help but be a little puzzled by this, in his opinion, the nobles should prefer the so-called knightly demeanor.

"Knights? That was a long time ago, in the absence of war, knights are useless, but mages are not only known as the king of destruction in war, but also can create a variety of magic items in this era of peace, and can obtain a lot of wealth, so now the status of knights is far inferior to mages, if the paladin is still about the same, but the basic ones who can become paladins are moral models, and they don't care too much about worldly money. Gianna laughed.

"Oh......" Song Zheng had already understood a little, although the knights in this era of peace were chic, they were still not as rich as the mages after all, so their social status was no longer as good as that of the mages.

Of course, in Song Zheng's opinion, another reason why those noble children chose to become mages was that the training of knights was too tiring, and it was far less comfortable than mages hiding in the mage tower in the warm winter and cool summer.

"I heard that you need a good talent to become a mage, do those nobles have such a good talent for magic?" Sally next to her also asked curiously, she also wanted to be a mage at the beginning, but then unexpectedly became a priest, and now it seems that this little priest is still quite yearning for magic.

"There are always one or two people in a family who can sense the magic net, even if the talent is a little worse, as long as you are willing to spend money, there is no problem in mixing with the right mage in the future." Gianna said.

"So, if you want to become a mage, you have to be rich......"

"Of course, it is not difficult for ordinary civilians to become knights, but it is very difficult to become a qualified mage, knowing that just a small wand or a magic gem requires hundreds of gold coins to buy, and it is expensive to learn magic spells and spell casting skills, alas...... My teacher had said that this would greatly hinder the development of magic, but Dalaran could not prosper without the support of the nobles. Gianna smiled helplessly.
