Through a miniature portal placed on the top floor of the Wizard's Tower, Rollin arrives at Mentor Naloras' Wizard's Tower.

At Mentor Naloras' residence, Rollin was uninhibited. While waiting for Mentor Naloras to prepare, Rollin reclined back in an easy chair and enjoyed a moment of afternoon.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the position of the bench is exactly in a straight line with the portrait on the wall, and Rollin inadvertently saw the half-elf magician again. That is, Alodi, the guardian of the first Council of Tirisfa.

In the portrait, Allodi looks relaxed, holding Naloras' shoulders as if to say something. And the mentor of Naloras at that time, who was also very young, kept smiling, just like now.

From this painting, Rollin could feel the deep friendship between the two magisters.

Naloras didn't keep Rollin waiting long, he took out a magic crystal from the room in the inner sanctum, along with an ancient magic rune that looked extremely old.

"Would you like to hear me tell this story? A story that sounds sad, but is full of responsibility. Naloras looked up at the smiling face and said to Rollin.

Sitting upright, Rollin calmed down and listened carefully to the story of the first Guardian told by Mentor Naloras.

The story takes place in the Tirisfal Glades, in the Canyon of the Spider.

"Hi Naloras, have you completed the task that Mentor Eldin gave you this morning?" The talented half-elf mage Alordi, a talented young man who kept a smile on his face, asked Naloras.

Naloras took out the magic package from his bosom, he carefully separated the demon marks, and handed the two demon marks to Alodi's hand as specimens: "This is a sample of the demon, I told the lord of Crystal Water City about this. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will go back to deal with the demonic turmoil here. ”

Hearing the city, Alodi shrugged his shoulders, he wanted to ask, but he couldn't speak.

Naloras also noticed Alodi's expression, and he smiled calmly, "Idil has seen me, and she asked me to bring you something. ”

"What?" Allodi couldn't suppress the anticipation in her heart and asked.

Naloras laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll look for you carefully." Aha, found it, this is it. ”

During the conversation, Naloras pulled out a neat lilac mage robe and placed it in Alodi's hands.

Like a treasure, Alodi sniffed the fragrance on his clothes.

"I said brother, although I quit, I think you still need to accompany Idir, who is very haggard these days because of the demonic plague in Crystal Water City. She needs you, you should know. Naloras patted Alodi on the shoulder.

Just as he was about to reply, Naloras waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do, and I will also attend the meeting of Magoklas in the afternoon." Of course, remember, Merrell Evil Wind told you about the price you have to pay to be the spearhead, and you'd better think about it. I'll start by saying that I don't want you to be the spearhead under any circumstances. ”

"No, Naloras. You shouldn't think like that. Alodi retorted.

Naloras waved his hand and said firmly, "We grew up together, even if you don't listen to me, you should think of Idir." She's still waiting for you. ”

The forests of the Tirisfa Glades obscured the midday heat. The Spider Canyon is tucked away in the forest, where the temperature is even lower. When Naloras returned from Alodi, he went straight to Mentor Eldin's quarters.

Walking into this small cabin, Naloras felt a chill in his face. The pale blue staff floating on the ancient magic imprint circle created waves of cold waves.

Casting a thermostatic spell on herself, Naloras walked in front of Eldin.

"Mentor, mission accomplished. I've brought back all the demonic sigils. In taking these sigils, I also killed an Ereda. Naloras placed the demon sigil on the test bench.

The elder Eldin Archmagister uses dexterous arcane energy to distinguish these demonic sigils. He took one from the many sigils and placed it on the magic trail in front of him.

"Kathrana, the Dreadlord, is exactly what I thought." Eldin observed the direction in which the demon mark was levitating, and said with a solemn face.

"It's the demon I looked up yesterday from the ancient books of magic? Wasn't he killed by that druid, and how did he appear on our continent again? Naloras asked, puzzled.

Shaking his head slightly, Mentor Eldin said, "I don't know. However, as long as he is a demon, we at the Council of Tirispha will banish him. Prepare Ebony Chill, and this afternoon, hand him over to Alodi. Eldin commanded Naloras.

Heard that the artifact was given to Alodi. Naloras' face sank, and his limbs stiffened for a few seconds, frozen in place.

Knowing Naloras' thoughts, Eldin walked over to comfort Naloras and said, "I understand your student, but this is the Council of Tirisv, and you and I, as well as Alodi, all need to take on this responsibility. ”

With a long sigh of relief, Naloras took a heavy step and removed the artifact that symbolized the spearhead of the Council of Tirisfar. After preparing the artifact, Mentor Eldin said to him, "The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The talent that Alodi was now displaying and the special spell connection ritual he had thought of prompted him to accept this mission. He had already agreed, and the afternoon meeting was just a preparatory meeting for a mana transfer ceremony. ”

Knowing that she couldn't change anything, Naloras simply chose to remain silent. He took the artifact from Mentor Eldin's quarters and went to the seat of the council to wait.

In the afternoon, the Magus arrived at the venue on time. In this humble wooden house, there sat seven mages of the Tyriss Council and dozens of high-ranking mages.

"I want you to come here from your own position today, and I think everyone knows why. Due to the prevalence of the magical element, more and more spatial rifts in our world have appeared, which has led to increasing pressure on our council. Not long after, a powerful Dreadlord came to our world from the cracks torn by magic. Our council has fought against him several times, but we have not banished him, but we have paid a great price. Unfortunately, our strength is far less powerful than this Dreadlord, and even if I am the spearhead now, there is nothing I can do about him. ”

"Still, my student, Alodi. He had a new idea, a long-distance energy transfer spell. If our council can achieve such a way of energy transmission, then we can maintain the energy transmission here, and only let Alodi participate in the battle. Aldin told the members of the council about the method that Alodi had conceived.

Merrell Evilwind (Merry Winterwind) was the first to agree, praising Alodi's idea and saying, "It's a perfect way to do it." Much more efficient than the way we fight now. Don't forget, when we are fighting against powerful demons, we need all members to be present at the same time, and we also need to divert magical energy to defend against demons when they unleash a wide range of spells. Alodi's approach is the perfect solution to our current problems, and I think it's fitting for him to be the spearhead. ”

Loha nodded and said, "No problem, Alodi as a member of the council." His progress and growth are well known to all of us, and I agree with Alodi as the spearhead. ”

Asila waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, as members of a council, our first task is to banish demons. As for the method to use, this is a second factor to consider. ”

Sure enough, as Aldin said, there were no dissenting members of the entire council. Naloras chose to agree, and he raised his hand to approve of Alodi's decision to be the spearhead.

This time, Alodi did not attend. In order to maintain the stability of the parliament, the process of the meeting was not allowed to leak and the successors of the spearhead were not allowed to participate.

This was an ordinance that had existed since the establishment of the Tirisfa Council.

Following Eldin's instructions, after the meeting was over, Naloras found Alodi again. After telling him the results of the meeting, Naloras handed Ebony Cold to him.

"Take it, tomorrow the transmission ceremony of the spell energy will begin. You'll officially be the spearhead later. Naloras said with a wry smile.

After hearing this result, he was not as happy as he imagined. After a moment of silence, he said, "The meeting is over, let's go and ask Sinda to draw us a picture." It was considered a memorial. ”

How could Naloras not know what Alodi meant, he nodded, and walked with him through the forest path to a wooden house.

The owner of the chalet was none other than Cinda, a great painter who lived in seclusion in the Tirisfal woodlands.

Seeing the two young mages arrive at her residence, Cinda warmly welcomed them, and then patiently and meticulously completed the group photo for these unsung heroes who were busy guarding the human kingdom from the invasion of demons.

After it was over, Naloras was silent. When they were about to separate, Alodi took out the lilac spell robe in his arms, and said with a wry smile: "Tomorrow I will be the spearhead, return this dress to Idil, we can't do it." ”

Taking the neat clothes, Naloras said in a low voice, "Well, I respect your choice. ”

After parting, Naloras took the painting with him and left the Tirisfa Glade. He returned to Clearwater City and handed over the mage robe to Idir.

Beautiful Idil did not speak, and she replaced her answer with her own silent weeping and tears.

Alodi's lover chooses to respect Alodi's choice, and Alodi, as a guardian, finally fulfills his duty with his own life.

At the end of the story, returning to Mentor Naloras' Mage Tower, Rollin listened to Mentor Naloras' story and said, "I admire Alodi, he is a true Guardian. ”

Naloras shook his head and lamented, "It's not a perfect story, I've met Alodi when he was about to leave this world. He told me that if any of the future magicians were to shoulder this burden, he hoped that the magician would not give up on the one he loved. To be honest, these choices were made because the Council and the Guardians were not strong enough, but today, I hope and I believe that you can change this situation. ”

I? Luo Lin looked at the tutor in surprise and said, "Mentor, what do you mean?" ”

Seeing that the students were so nervous, Naloras waved his hand and said, "As you know, the current Council of Tirisfa has been dissolved. However, Alodi's relics are still there, and Biroa and I want to use you to establish a new magical secret council. To tell you the truth, Luo Lin, Bi Luohua and I chose you to come to Silvermoon City for this very reason. ”

Hearing Mentor Naloras candidly tell him what he thought, Rollin didn't have any thoughts, and as before, Rollin was calm.

"Mentor, even if you don't say it, I'm a Magister. These things are also my business. However, this magic secret makes me wonder why the two mentors chose me in the first place. Could it be that the guru had anticipated something in the first place? Rollin thought.

Naloras sighed at his keen perception and thinking ability, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "Your mentor Birohua once saw a catastrophe in the strong arcane illusion of the Well of the Sun, a disaster enough to destroy Silvermoon City. Of course, a little magic illusion is not convincing enough, but the last time I saw Alodi, he also hinted to me that there would be a great catastrophe in Quel'Thalas, and indeed in the entire northern part of the Eastern Kingdom. Preparing for a rainy day, Birohua and I have been preparing for these things for all these years. ”

The mentor explained the ins and outs of the future very clearly, and Rollin also knew what this disaster meant.

During the battle at the Dark Gate, he was escaped by Naozu. Rollin knew that there was another disaster waiting for him.

"Mentor, you should have told me earlier. So that I can come up with ideas with you. Rollin said.

Naloras smiled, "Who said it wasn't, Birohua and I thought it would take you at least ten years to grow up. But now it seems, both of us were wrong. It took you three years to surpass us, and I feel that your current strength is more than ten times the strength of our two old fellows combined. ”

Hearing the mentor's praise, Luo Lin waved his hand and said, "It's not so exaggerated mentor, my current magic training also has drawbacks, and it is not as powerful as you think." ”

Rollin was right, since he returned to Azeroth from the Void Rift. His flame and arcane cultivation had grown to the red stage. However, since entering the red stage, Luo Lin's spell cultivation has not continued to grow.

For almost half a year, Rollin's growth was only spent with the proficiency of spell mastery and the expansion of the number of divine powers used by kinetic magic.
