Chapter Seventy-One: The Greatest Obstacle to Learning Magic

Song Zheng remembered that Thrall's attack on Dunhold Castle and the rescue of those orc captives should have happened before the invasion of the natural disaster, judging from the current situation and time, it was likely that it should be about to happen!

However, in the game of Warcraft, there is not much explanation about the situation after the orcs escaped, and it seems that Lordaeron did not react much to the fall of Dunhold.

"Could it be because the area in this real world is too vast and deserted......" Song Zheng secretly guessed in his heart, just the Alterac Mountains stretched for thousands of miles, and the orcs drilled into the depths of this snowy mountain, and it was indeed difficult for human troops to pursue them.

Of course...... The best case scenario is not to run into those orcs, he doesn't think that with his current position and strength, he can stop the human forces from clashing with the orcs, and he can't imagine what the outcome of Gianna's battle with Thrall will be like now.

Although Brigitte and Sally agreed on an afternoon, Bridt's impatient personality quickly led her to meet Sally.

However, they still brought more than a dozen priests behind them, which surprised everyone, because most of the priests were not interested in war, and rarely willing to take the initiative to get involved in the battle, and it was very good to have more than ten priests join the team at a time without official orders.

When the team was assembled, Gianna immediately announced the departure with joy.

Song Zheng followed her side but was quite worried, although the number of people in the team in front of her was quite large, but it was too complicated, just from the perspective of weapons, there were all kinds of weapons, almost all the types of weapons that could be seen in the Warcraft appeared, and it was estimated that the occupations of these people were also the same.

Just thinking about how chaotic a team of forty people would be in battle in the Warcraft game, Song Zheng couldn't help but feel a little headache...... You must know that there is a team of nearly 3,000 people in front of you!

However, it takes at least five or six days to get from Dalaran to the Alterac Mountains, and it can be said that it is very safe during this time.

The people looked like they were traveling along the way, and they didn't seem to have taken the syndicate thieves seriously.

However, Luo Ning seemed to be very responsible, and he did not forget to teach a few students on the way and impart some practical experience.

Song Zheng also listened with interest, although he had also experienced a lot of battles, most of what he gained was the experience of escaping, and he did not have much experience in actual combat.

It's just that he still doesn't understand the magic knowledge taught by Luo Ning.

"I'm sorry I didn't give you enough time to learn magic because of my rush to exterminate those syndicate thieves, but when we get back to Dalaran, I'll let Ronin teach you from scratch, or...... I'll teach you it myself. Gianna said apologetically, and couldn't help blushing a little when she said that she was willing to teach him personally.

"Then thank you, Your Highness the Princess!" Song Zheng naturally couldn't ask for this, he was a rookie who didn't know anything about magic, and he didn't have any background background, it was completely impossible to go to an old man of the magisture level like Antonidas to learn magic, it was estimated that even if he knelt outside Violet Castle for more than half a month, it would be difficult to see people, so the younger generation of magicians like Gianna and Luo Ning were the best magic teachers he could find.

Especially for an idol-level beauty mage like Gianna, who is a princess, if she says that she wants to accept magic apprentices, it is estimated that the people who sign up will be able to line up from Violet Castle all the way to the outside of Dalaran City.

"By the way, if you want to learn magic, you definitely need to know Salas, I know you don't have a language foundation, so before this departure, I specially found a Sarasas learning dictionary for you in the library of Violet Castle, which has explanatory texts in human language, you can read it when you have time on the way." Gianna said as she handed over a thick book.

Song Zheng couldn't help but feel a slight heat in his heart, it seemed that Gianna was still more concerned about him, and she was still worried about his learning of magic in her busy schedule.

But when he took the book in Salas, he was dumbfounded.

The name of the book was "A Concise Dictionary of Salas", but it was more than 500 pages thick, and the text in the book was so small that he could barely read it.

"Is this still called concise? Wouldn't it take a year or two to finish learning this book......" Song Zheng flipped through it casually, and immediately understood that it was indeed not easy to become a mage, and it would be tiring enough just to learn this Salas language.

However, it is indeed a very good thing to be proficient in this Salas.

You must know that Salas is the language of the High Elves, and the High Elves are derived from the Night Elves, which means that this Salas language is similar to the Darnassus language currently used by the Night Elves, which is probably the difference between American English and British English.

As long as you learn this Salas, you will also learn the language of Darnassus, and you will be able to communicate with the Night Elves and even Naga smoothly in the future.

After all, the Naga are also descended from the Night Elves, and in the game of Warcraft, Illidan, Kael'thas and Vaski have no language barrier when they meet and chat together.

In the following days, Song Zheng fully devoted himself to the study of Salas, and he soon found that in addition to the original human lingua franca, there was an additional Salas language in the language project on his character attribute interface, but there was a progress bar behind this Salas, which showed that his current learning progress was only less than one percent.

"It's been thousands of years since magic reached the human realm, and hasn't any mage ever thought of translating magic spells into human language?" Song Zheng complained to Gianna.

In his opinion, the use of this Salas language is definitely a serious obstacle to the research and development of human magic.

"This has been tried for a long time, but those magic spells have taken the elves tens of thousands of years to research, and the magic spells are different from the prayer languages of the Church of Light, most of the syllables actually have no special meaning, just to facilitate communication with the magic web, so what really matters about those spells is their pronunciation, if they are forcibly translated into human language, it is useless." Gianna laughed.

"Really...... So those magic spells don't have any literal meaning, but are more like rituals necessary to cast spells? ”

Gianna hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It can indeed be understood in this way, like some magic, it needs to use body movements to complete the spell casting ritual, and magic spells can also be regarded as a kind of spell casting ritual in sound. ”

"So you have to be able to pronounce this Salas language accurately?" Song Zheng immediately felt a headache, learning a foreign language is a very difficult thing, and it is even more difficult to learn oral language well!

"Yes, you can't recite magic spells with any local accents." Gianna laughed.

Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless again, it seemed that it was not enough to just learn this "Concise Dictionary of Salas", he also had to find a speaking teacher.

And he finally understood the reason why those aristocratic families often hired a magic teacher for their children, probably mainly to teach this Salas language from an early age, especially to teach spoken Chinese.

For some reason, at this moment, Song Zheng is particularly nostalgic for the tape recorder on the earth......
