Chapter 18: Varian's Memories
"You're not from the Stormwind Kingdom. ”
"It's not. ”
Gianna had begun to become suspicious of the origins of Ethan and the others, and her questioning had diverted everyone's attention from Varian to the two of them.
"Why would you want to find His Majesty Varian-Wrynn?" Gianna didn't stand up, but Ethan felt a hint of a hidden mana fluctuation around the woman, and an energy that he wasn't very familiar with and hadn't been exposed to became active, and he guessed it was arcane energy.
As the most well-known energy in the world of Azeroth, arcane energy is extremely malleable, with which it can do many magical things, coupled with excellent stability and relatively easy manipulation, this energy has become the most favored energy for mages and ultimately the only choice for mages.
The mages in this world are not as gamers think, divided into ice methods, arcane methods, fire methods and the like, in terms of the energy used, all the mages in this world are arcane mages, and all the mages they use are arcane energy.
Arcane magic is divided into several large branches, and the spells used by mages are basically contained in these branches, and a mage will basically involve multiple branches of spells, and may excel in a certain branch because of personal interests and talents, but there is absolutely no mage who only understands one type and does not understand the others at all.
At the same time, the elemental attacks that arcane mages can cast are not limited to frost and fire, and powerful attacks such as lightning and thunder are also the choice of many mages.
Ethan didn't know if they were using arcane energy as a base and indirectly controlling elemental energy when they cast fireballs and ice arrows, or if they were directly using arcane energy to simulate the characteristics of an element.
Unfortunately, there is no clear official information on this, he only knows that the two spells of watermaking and blizzard are divided into the spell branch equivalent to summoning in the arcane mage's system, so the famous attack magic blizzard is indeed cast by summoning other elements by using arcane magic.
As for the profession that directly uses elemental power, it also exists in this world, and that is shamans, who have gained the ability to directly use elemental power by communicating with elemental spirits.
Ethan wasn't very interested in the shaman's means of communicating and gaining recognition and eventually borrowing power, he preferred to learn the means by which arcane mages indirectly controlled another element through one type of energy, but he didn't have the idea to hit Gianna, and he didn't want to learn any tricks through Gianna's spell casting.
"I want to get paid, of course. ”
"Remuneration?"
"The benefit of saving a nation is much greater than what I get paid for traveling around helping ordinary people. ”
The mana fluctuations on Gianna's body gradually flattened, and it seemed that she believed Ethan's words.
As for Varian on the side, he didn't speak quietly, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with hearing Ethan's words, of course, if he could really help himself.
He had learned his 'true identity' from Gianna, but he was unhappy that he had never been able to recover his memories, and during this time, the man who claimed to be the marshal of the country had already told him that the young mage seemed to have a solution to his troubles.
"If you can help me, then I will pay you to your satisfaction. ”
Ethan nodded and gestured to Varian, "Please find a seat, I need to check on you." ”
Gianna wanted to stop him, but Varian directly found a chair and sat down, he didn't show any distrust of Ethan, on the contrary, he trusted Ethan more than anyone else, even more than Wendsol, who had been in contact with Ethan for a while.
"I hope you can heal me. ”
"I hope so, too, because I'll only get paid if you get your memories back. ”
In fact, Varian did not appear to trust a strange mage completely. It's just that he desperately wants to recover his memories, and Varian, who has lost his memories, is more impulsive and reckless, and he is willing to risk it when he can.
It was for this reason that Ethan wasted a lot of effort and went directly behind Varian and examined it carefully.
As he stood here, he clearly felt that the two key points behind him were targeted by the two elves, and he believed that as long as Varian showed some abnormalities, his kidney would definitely not be saved.
Ethan didn't bother with them, the two elves couldn't really hurt themselves, and he really didn't have any ill will towards Varian, and after a little checking, he walked away.
"How's it going?"
"There was a cloud of energy in his head that interfered with his memory. ”
"It's the same as what I saw. ”
As a powerful mage, Gianna was naturally able to find out what was wrong with Varian, but this mass of energy gathered in her head, which made her a little constrained, and she couldn't completely let go of her hands and feet to solve this mass of energy.
"Judging by this mass of energy, it seems to be a magic that has not been fully cast, because some accident has been interrupted. Ethan didn't want to study what the effect of this magic was, so he didn't delve into the problem and directly considered how to eliminate it: "Although the true nature and function of this mass of energy are not clear, it is not difficult to simply remove it. ”
"But the brain is very fragile, how can we ensure that His Majesty Wryn will not be harmed when this mass of energy is removed?"
Gianna's question is the key, but it's still not hard for Ethan. Other troubles may take some effort, but when it comes to controlling energy and extracting it, Ethan, who is the head of both Asgard and Kama Taj, is not a problem at all.
"I'm good at handling this situation, so I'm here to draw this mass of energy and you keep His Majesty Wryon safe. ”
Ethan didn't need Gianna to cast a spell to protect Varian, he said this to give everyone a signal: I really don't have any other ideas to let Gianna supervise the whole process.
"Do I need to do anything to prepare?"
"No, we can start now. ”
Gianna's brows furrowed, she felt that it seemed a little too hasty, but this was very much in line with Varian's urgency at this time, he nodded very simply to the two elves behind him, and then sat quietly and signaled to Ethan: I am ready.
Varian herself had already made a decision, and even Windsor couldn't stop it, let alone Gianna, who was technically an outsider, and she couldn't do much but step aside and be ready to help when things weren't right.
Ethan walked up to Varian again, thought briefly about what he should do, and finally held out one hand to one of Varian's temples, and the other hand to hold the top of Varian's head.
"I'm going to start, it may not be that comfortable, but you should be able to handle it. ”
Varian looked at the young man in front of him, and finally nodded firmly, and at the moment of Varian's nod, a ball of energy flashed from the palm of Ethan's hand holding Varian's temple, and then a black mist-like energy slowly emerged from the top of his head.
With a slight grasp of the hand that Ethan was holding on, he controlled the black mist-like energy in his own hand, and then as the energy of Ethan's other hand released a more intense light, not only did black qi emerge from Varian's head, but it also gathered into Ethan's palm.
"It's ...... Holy Light?"
Gianna was suspicious at first, but when the energy in Varian's head became more and more visible, she noticed that this energy seemed to be a little different from the Holy Light, but the energy gave her the feeling that it was clearly the Holy Light.
"A mage, using the Light?"
Although there were many questions in her mind, Gianna finally understood what method Ethan was using to deal with the energy in Varian's head.
Ethan was using an energy that was repulsive to that power, and at the same time, this energy would not cause damage to the human body, even a little damage because the nature of the Holy Light would allow it to recover in an instant, which would avoid possible damage.
The expelled energy was completely controlled by Ethan's other hand, and this means of controlling energy was absolutely master-level, even Gianna did not dare to guarantee that she could control a completely unfamiliar mass of energy so perfectly.
The amount of energy in Varian's head was not much, and it only took a short time for Ethan to clear it all, and then condensed the energy into a black sphere, which was held in the palm of his hand.
"It's over. ”
Ethan nodded at Gianna and the two elves, then stepped away a little, intently observing the energy in his hand.
After he cleared the energy, Varian had actually regained his memory, and Ethan's 'surgery' didn't cause him any damage, but he suddenly went from not being able to remember to remembering too many things, and he needed some time to buffer.
After Gianna saw Varian's appearance, she knew about his situation after a simple check, so instead of continuing to pay attention to His Majesty the King, who had regained his memory, she turned her head to look at Ethan.
"You just used the Holy Light?"
Ethan, of course, wouldn't admit it, so he decisively shook his head and denied Gianna's speculation.
Unfortunately, he is fundamentally different from the mages of this world, because his roots are not arcane, so Gianna still has doubts about his origins.
Fortunately, by this time, Varian had already eased up, so that Gianna had to suppress the doubts in her heart for the time being.
