Chapter 57: The Elegance of a Mage
Calm down!
Calm down!
Li Ke tried his best not to show too much fluctuation in his expression, but when he heard that Arthas was coming here, he couldn't help but want to pack up and run away immediately.
But he held back, for he had never heard the name of the cursed cult that had spread the curse of the undead and killed all the towns around Rivendell, and if it was the year of the slaughter of Arthas, it was impossible for him not to hear the rumors of the cursed sect at all.
"Oh, is His Royal Highness the Prince coming here?"
He asked, feigning curiosity.
"Yes, do some hunting or something, after all, the newly recruited knights need some training or something, and by the way, hold a jousting tournament or something, you know, it will be very interesting."
Gianna said casually, this kind of thing is not a secret, after all, it is bound to happen, and her face showed an expectant look, looking forward to meeting Arthas.
Or rather, the carefree princess is still looking forward to the jousting tournament of the Knights of Alsace.
Hearing that it was not to deal with the affairs of the Cursed Church, Li Ke was relieved, as long as it was not to deal with the affairs of the Cursed Sect, he did not have to worry about it for the time being.
But......
Looking at the lord's mansion, Li Ke silently clenched his fists.
Father-in-law, I can only ask you to reunite with Sean soon.
He now desperately needs to send his father-in-law, Old Taishan, away!
Originally, he didn't plan to be in such a hurry, because the father and son died violently one after another, and the risk was too great and too easy to be discovered. And without his help, it would be very difficult for Jennifer to control the entire territory and achieve the best interests.
But the arrival of Alsace really made him feel an indescribable sense of urgency.
Now that we can't manage the best interests, let's get a wave of profit quickly!
"That's really an enviable thing."
Li Kebang read it, he did envy those knights, because they had already reached the pinnacle of their lives, and now he was only a knight of the lowest level.
Speaking of which, do I still have a mayor's letter of appointment?
Li Ke suddenly remembered this incident.
"yes, that's an interesting thing."
It seemed that he had also heard that Li Ke was not interested in this, and Gianna, who wanted to talk to someone, was a little embarrassed and wrapped her beautiful blonde hair around her fingers.
The enthusiastic and lively female mage was thinking about what topic to discuss so that the atmosphere would not be so awkward.
Li Ke didn't care much about this kind of atmosphere, it was just a business-like colleague relationship, he didn't have a good impression of Gianna, nor did he have any bad feelings, just ordinary treatment.
So I don't really care about the other party's attitude, but unfortunately, Gianna is not.
Because of her identity, she actually didn't have many ordinary friends in Dalaran, and the people who came with her this time were either archmages or low-level apprentices, and in short, none of them could talk to her.
And the old lord had just died of his son, and it was not appropriate for her to say anything to the other party.
Li Ke is a paladin, has a knighthood, and is still the son of a lord, which is the only one she can speak, but she always feels that Li Ke is a little absent-minded.
So, she thought of the first time they met, Li Ke subconsciously absorbed some arcane energy.
"Well, speaking of which, you seem to have a lot of arcane talent."
She suddenly spoke, which surprised Li Ke a little.
"Huh?"
Li Ke looked at Her Royal Highness the princess in some surprise.
"Because you are able to absorb the magical energy in the air, this is the first step to becoming a mage, and you do it almost subconsciously, which shows that you have a lot of magical talent. Generally speaking, as long as a person like you is discovered by Dalaran, then you can directly enter Dalaran to learn magic. ”
Seeing that Li Ke was a little interested, Gianna had a cheerful smile on her face.
She's just so stuffy.
"Do you mean this energy?"
Li Ke stretched out his hand, and the magical energy that he had subconsciously absorbed appeared on his hand, showing a violet light.
"That's right, it's this kind of power, if you can change shape with your own will, then it means that you can become a mage, you can try it."
Gianna smiled and nodded.
"That's ......"
Li Ke looked at Gianna's bright smiling face, and felt a little uncomfortable, he was now a little unable to accept this kind of kindness that appeared inexplicably.
What is she trying to do?
Li Ke didn't really understand.
But realizing this, he put the matter aside.
I can talk about the change in my personality later.
The arcane energy began to change in his hands, and he had originally wanted to turn the arcane energy in his hands into a beautiful snow lotus.
However, as he manipulated the arcane energy to form a thin line in his hand and was about to outline the frame, he saw Gianna's expression suddenly become exaggerated.
With a long mouth and wide eyes, it looks like Disney's exaggerated expression, making people want to know if the other party is Disney's princess on the run......
However, Elsa, who looks like Frozen, has Gianna as one of her prototypes, right?
Li Ke couldn't help but diverge his thoughts.
"Incredible! Are you really using arcane energy for the first time?! ”
Gianna looked in shock at the rudimentary shape of a flower formed on Li Ke's hand, looked up at Li Ke, and then looked at the model outlined by Li Ke's hand with arcane silk thread.
The first difficulty in learning magic is to be able to sense magical energy, the second is to control it, and the third is knowledge and sensitivity to mathematics.
And the control of magical energy that Li Ke has shown, if it is the first time, then he is quite a genius!
"Isn't that amazing?"
Li Ke looked at the model that he didn't use all his strength, and couldn't help but get excited in his heart.
He had doubts before, it was very easy for him to manipulate these powers, there seemed to be no bottleneck, or difficult to control, even the most explosive evil energy, he could easily turn it into a flower.
And with this very stable energy, he is naturally able to do more high-end operations.
Almost as soon as I thought about it, these energies completed the transformation.
He thought it was the particularity of these energies, that the novel was a lie, but judging from Gianna's performance......
The novel doesn't seem to lie to him, controlling energy is a difficult thing.
"It's not the kind that is not powerful, but the kind that many people will want to take you as an apprentice!"
Gianna was a little excited.
Li Ke nodded, he was also very moved, he could become a mage, who would want to use the holy light.
But after thinking about it for a while, he still asked.
"And does it cost to learn spells?"
Gianna was a little puzzled by this question, but still answered Li Ke.
"It's not very expensive, is it?"
"Hmm."
"For ordinary mages, it is 67,000 gold coins a year, but if you want to learn new spells, the money will cost more, about 120,000 or 30,000, which is not a lot."
Gianna tapped her lips and said it casually.
“…………”
Li Ke nodded.
Can't afford to learn.
Leave!
