Chapter 45: Mana Test
The griffin landed like a gust of wind on an open attic.
"Goo-goo." "Goo-goo." "Goo."
The surroundings were immediately surrounded by griffins of various colors, and Li Quan seemed to have come to the griffon's nest at once.
As soon as he jumped down from the griffin, Li Quan saw a griffon keeper feeding the griffon, and when he spotted Li Quan, he walked up to him and said, "Welcome to Stormwind!" Here are the griffon perches. ”
The administrator looked at the griffin that Li Quan was riding on, and said, "Ah, it's number 213 back, okay." I'll send it back to the nest. ”
The griffon rubbed the Administrator's hand affectionately with its hawkbeak, and the Administrator smiled and patted it, the two were quite familiar.
Li Quan was looking around curiously, and the administrator turned his head to look at Li Quan, and asked with a smile, "First time in Stormwind City?" ”
"Yes." Li Quan nodded.
"Then I recommend the Gold Rose Hotel, it's not far from here. The proprietress Orison is notoriously hot, and I promise you, you won't be disappointed there! As he spoke, he winked at Li Quan.
Li Quan sweated for a moment, and as soon as he came, he encountered this kind of ...... By the way, the people of Azeroth are so cheerful? That's really ...... What a place!
"Okay, I'll go." Li Quan said.
"Have fun!" The griffin caretaker winked at him and smiled.
As soon as he walked out of the griffin perch, Li Quan was stunned.
It turned out that the griffon perch was built halfway up the mountainside next to Stormwind, and rows of griffons stayed in the half-open attic in an orderly manner, and griffons were constantly flying in and out. A long high staircase folds down to the city below.
From here, you can clearly see the whole picture of Stormwind City. Standing on the long ladder, Li Quan raised his eyes and looked at it, and his heart was even more shocked. This is the real Stormwind! Majestic, majestic, and vast are not enough to describe its magnificence.
Li Quan clearly saw that a canal divided the entire city into several large areas. A patchwork of buildings stands below, distributed in an orderly manner. In the middle of the complex, a tall cathedral stands in the middle of the square. A bell was ringing in that direction.
To the east of the city, there is a mighty castle fortress built against the mountain, and the blue lion king's banner is waving in the wind, and the momentum is extraordinary.
To the southwest, a tall tower can be seen in the distance, and the magic runes flickering at the top of the tower can be faintly seen.
That's where Li Quan is going.
With excitement, Li Quan walked down the long ladder. As soon as his feet hit the ground, a strong breath of life came to his face and surrounded him. On both sides of the road, there are many shops, and the residents of the city are constantly coming and going, leisurely strolling. The shouting of merchants is endless. The whole street is bustling with people.
Li Quan quickly blended in with the crowd and into this living medieval picture.
After strolling along the canal for a while, Li Quan remembered the purpose of his trip.
There are two things to do. Help Flash Gold deliver a letter to Stormwind's "Limited Protection" armor shop. And then there is his main purpose, to go to the mage district to seek opportunities to learn magic.
Ask along the road and you'll easily find the armor shop. Limited Protection is the most famous armor shop in Stormwind, and most people know about it.
After Li Quan walked in, he saw many adventurers who were shopping. Seeing Li Quan come in, a dwarf in a cloth coat came over and greeted, "Welcome!" Need something? We have everything, only you can't think of it, and there's no armor that dwarves can't make. ”
Li Quan had seen a dwarf once in the Dark Moon Circus, and he wasn't too surprised. He took out the letter and handed it over, saying, "I was commissioned by Duhan, the sheriff of Shining Gold, to deliver this letter. Are you a shopkeeper? ”
"Oh, a letter from Shining Gold? No, I'm not the owner, but you can give me the letter. I'm the caretaker of this store. ”
When the letter arrived, Li Quan left the armor shop and asked the dwarves for directions to the mage area. Only when I was in the city did I know that Stormwind was bigger than I thought. Without a map, it's easy to get lost inside. After inquiring, I found out that this is the dwarf area, and the mage area is quite far from here.
No matter how far away Li Quan is, he will also go.
After inquiring all the way, I finally came to the mage area. Li Quan pressed his excitement about to learn magic, looked at the towers not far away, and quickened his pace.
Along the way, Li Quan passed through three areas of Stormwind City. He was impressed by the different styles of each of the three areas.
Once you enter the dwarven quarters, it looks a little smoky. There are many dwarves on the roads, most of them are sturdy and have very loud voices. On both sides of the road, there are mostly buildings with a rugged style of dwarves, with a strong metal atmosphere.
After leaving the dwarf area, Li Quan passed through the trade area, where the people lived mainly human, and the atmosphere was much more normal, with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and shops, which were very similar to Li Quan's imagination in the European Middle Ages.
When Li Quan walked into the mage area, he immediately had a completely different style. Magic can be seen everywhere here. The fresh air seemed to be filled with magical energy.
As Li Quan approached the mage tower, he saw that the green lawn under the tower was full of people using magic. The colorful magical light immediately dazzled Li Quan, and his gaze was overwhelming.
An old mage leads a group of half-grown children with wizard hats to practice magic in a line. These half-grown children can even do a magic trick or two. is not aggressive, which still makes Li Quan envious.
Turning his head, on the lawn over there, several young female mages in beautiful mage robes were sitting around the lawn picnic, smiling and talking.
Li Quan passed by them and heard them seem to be discussing a very profound magic.
I heard a young female mage say, "Why can't we compensate for the change in flow by changing the magic array?" I think the main reason we failed was because we didn't grasp the change. ”
Another female mage said, "Wouldn't that make the spell program collapse before it was activated?" ”
Another female mage said, "What if the result of the frequency shift is the flow of magic back?" ”
The female mage who spoke first said, "If we follow the correct order, there shouldn't be any problems. So we should do a good bit of research before we start again. ”
She continued: "What happens if we use three focusers in the Tyrian equation? Should solve this problem, right? ”
"I don't think so, I don't want to be blown out of the lab again." A female mage objected.
"Mr. Magino has pointed out that changing the flow of energy at the cathode will make it more stable. I think if there were twenty people supporting it with magical energy, it would still be fine. ”
"I agree. I'd suggest adding twelve more Focus Cores to make the magical energy more solid. Don't forget, when the positive and negative energies collide, they are incompatible. ”
"If it's based on Surya's theory, that's true, but then we'll have to adopt Isya's theory of the magic activation process."
"We'll make it this time!" The young female mage named Suria cheered.
"Unless we didn't follow the correct initial steps."
"At least we don't have to bother cleaning the site anymore......"
"In addition to that, I think we should ......"
Li Quan eavesdropped for a while, unaware of it. All of these girls are magicians, and they seem to be of a very high standard. He raised his head and looked at the towering mage tower in front of him, yearning for the knowledge in this tower more and more. This is knowledge that does not exist in this world and can never be learned!
He began to imagine the scene of Azeroth shaking Azeroth under the various plants produced by the system after learning magic...... Archmage Li Quan? Li Quan nodded with satisfaction, well, this title is quite good!
The Mage's Tower is led up by a circular staircase. As soon as Li Quan walked up the stairs, a female dwarf next to him ran over with small steps and asked, "Are you here to learn magic?" ”
Li Quan nodded and said, "That's right, I want to learn magic." "Don't look at the dwarfs who look small, it's a matter of race, and this female dwarf who doesn't look like a child at his feet may be older than him.
"I'm the trainer of the Mage Tower, and my name is Bright Fire." The female gnome introduced herself in a shrill voice, "You want to learn magic, and that's good. We have a lot of students this month. Follow me. The female dwarf led Li Quan up the circular staircase with small steps.
The stairs were longer than expected, and this mage tower was at least one or two hundred meters high. Halfway up the climb, Li Quan was already out of breath. Looking at the female dwarf's small steps that were still brisk, Li Quan hurriedly used a plant essence to strengthen his body, instantly recovered his physical strength, and continued to walk up.
Finally at the top of the tower, the female dwarf entered the tower first. Li Quan stood at the top of the tower and glanced down at Stormwind City, and then followed in.
"First, you have to pass two tests." The female dwarf Lianghuo stood in front of Li Quan and said.
"Testing?"
"Test your potential and mana level first, it's a necessity to get started with magic. You can go in, and I'll send you here, and someone inside will receive you." Bright Fire gestured upstairs.
"Okay, thanks." I even had to climb up, thinking that I had reached the top. Li Quan stepped upstairs.
"By the way, I'll give you a suggestion." "Be careful when you first come into contact with magic, and remember not to play with fire, as untrained people will be burned to ashes." ”
Li Quan was inexplicable for a while and nodded.
This time I only climbed one flight of stairs to get there. Li Quan came to an open attic, surrounded by bookshelves full of secretaries. Sure enough, someone was waiting for him, and Li Quan unexpectedly found that he was still an acquaintance.
"Let's do a test. Hey? It's you. ”
"Hello."
What appeared in front of Li Quan was a middle-aged mage in a purple mage robe, who had seen it in the Elwyn Forest before, and it was one of the three people who suddenly teleported at the last moment when dealing with Hogg, among them was a high-ranking mage named Andomas. I didn't expect him to test himself.
"You're here to do the test?" Andomus asked, and after getting Li Quan's confirmation, he smiled and beckoned, "Then come with me." Last time, I saw you in a magical image, and I was amazed by the way you dealt with Hogg. I've been researching how you did it since I came back, and I've never figured it out. Maybe we can talk about it later? Okay, now, let's test your potential. Apparently the strange effect of chocolate on dogs also puzzled the mage.
Li Quan was led to a table, on which were placed two utensils that Li Quan couldn't see at all, and the shape was very strange.
As he spoke, Andomus asked Li Quan to put his hand on one of the utensils.
In front of Li Quan was a rectangular stone that floated wonderfully on the base, the size of a rugby ball, and the surface of the stone was carved with some complex lines, which seemed to glow.
Andomus explains with a smile: "Every new student has to take two tests. This runestone can measure your potential. You just have to put a hand on it and the magic will tell us the result. ”
Just as Li Quan was about to put his hand up, a light flashed next to the two, a portal flashed, and another acquaintance came. It was another mage Hogg had seen, the high-ranking mage Margino Dumas.
After Margino Dumas walked out of the portal, he nodded slightly to Andomas and was about to leave, when he saw that it was actually Li Quan doing the test, he stopped, seemed interested, and walked over to watch without saying a word.
In the eyes of the two, Li Quan took a deep breath and put his right hand on the rune stone in front of him.
