Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 411 120. I heard that you Dalaran call yourself "Holy Land of Magic"?

Amber Bluff, a magical outpost established by the Kirin Tor in the Borean tundra.

It exists nominally to protect the safety of Far County, a colony of the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the north.

After all, although the Borean tundra is a relatively flat area on the Northrend continent, which is more suitable for human reclamation and living, but there are also dangerous creatures on this great plain.

For example, the migrating yak people, those ugly and unappetizing crocodile people, and the fat tusrus people. Well, the last one is not dangerous.

In fact, the Tuskarr is a rare mild and civilized race in Northrend. They are friendly to human colonists and even offer help to those who are lost.

But their enemies are dangerous.

During the monsoon season on the Borean tundra, occasionally there will be fog covering the coast, and a group of weird vrykul marauders will rush out of the fog.

They are horrified by the tuskarr called "Kvaldir", which means visitors from hell.

It is said that those marauders in the mist are related to Hela, the god of death of the Vrykul, and the mages of the Kirin Tor are also very interested in them.

Occasionally attempts to capture living samples of Kvaldir for study.

However, it has been said that the mage camp on Amber Cliff is "in name" to protect the colony, so it must have a real mission behind the scenes.

The mages stationed here are all the elite of the Kirin Tor. There is a team of battle mages guarding here all year round. Their main goal is to observe and study the living habits of the blue dragons.

And from the Magic Hub, the source of Azeroth's magic, secretly obtain some forbidden knowledge that only the dragons know.

This research has been going on for more than 30 years, and has never been interrupted by Dalaran. In fact, even the great war that the orcs invaded the Eastern Kingdom did not affect the research tasks of these mages.

They claim that this is a search for knowledge, a search for magic, and a search for truth.

Unfortunately, that's not what the blue dragons say.

Early this morning, in the small town under the two mage towers on Amber Cliff, the Spark couple woke up early from their sleep.

The two dwarf spellcasters tidied up their robes, and went to the mage's tower talking and laughing, waiting for today's books to be borrowed. The two little dwarfs were not young anymore, as could be seen from Wendell Sparks' white beard.

His wife was still as lovely and beautiful as when she was young.

Dwarf.

They can also be regarded as longevity species. Their women are "legal loli" until death comes. Well, I know many people will be ecstatic, but calm down and be decent.

It's a pity that gnomes rarely intermarry with humans.

However, the Spark couple is not a resident mage at Amber Cliff. Their spellcasting level is a bit low, and they are not qualified to be sent to a secret research site like Amber Cliff.

The two dwarves came with the last immigration ship from Lordaeron,

They earn their wages as guard spellcasters in Farshire, a very good job for low-level mages in Dalaran.

Although it is a bit bitter, the reward is quite generous.

The Sparks are old, so they shouldn't have to travel such a long distance, and they are exhausted, but they need money.

Their youngest daughter, Jindi Sparks, is different from the two weak spellcasters, and is a young mage with great potential.

Studying in Dalaran is not cheap, so the Spark couple must prepare the tuition fee for the next semester and the money to buy various magic materials for their youngest daughter.

But to be honest, with the level of spellcasting of the Spark couple, they are not qualified to be guardian mages in the colony.

This is the "secret" of this cunning little dwarf couple. The two of them can only release a few magic tricks at the level of spellcasting, and they can only be regarded as apprentices in Dalaran.

But it must be enough to fool laymen who don't understand anything.

In addition, Wendell Sparks has practiced his spellcasting manners hard, and the facial expressions when he releases a lamp lighting technique, in the eyes of others, it is almost the same as releasing a forbidden spell.

"Today I'm going to borrow the book "Detailed Explanation of Frost Shock and Ice Ring Technique", and you can borrow the book "Preliminary Explanation of Blizzard Model."

In front of the mage's tower, old Wendell, who was wearing a big purple wizard's hat covering his clever head, told his wife:

"We can only stay here for one day, and we will work overtime today to finish transcribing these two magic books for Little Jindi, so that she doesn't need to go to the library in Dalaran to borrow them.

For a little mage like her, the books that can be borrowed every month are limited. "

"It's really you, Wendell."

Mrs. Spark, who was also wearing a pointed mage hat, covered her mouth and let out the signature crisp laugh of a dwarf.

She hammered her husband's shoulder, looked around cleverly, and greeted several passing apprentices, asking in a low voice:

"How do you know that the library at Amber Bluff has unlimited borrowing of these spellbooks?"

"Hey, when I was drinking with Millhouse last month, I heard what he said."

Old Wendell proudly touched his mage badge, and said to his wife:

"Millhouse told me that the Kirin Tor vanguard camps like Amber Cliff are full of high-level spellcasters. They don't care about their apprentices borrowing those low-level magic books, and there is no Dalaran library. limit.

He also said that if we are lucky, we can borrow some high-level magic manuscripts in the mage tower here.

I came to Northrend this time, on the one hand for money, and on the other hand to transcribe these magic books for our family Jindi, she will definitely use them in the future. "

"Millhouse? The one from the Manastorm family?"

Old Wendell's wife was on the other hand, and she said in a dwarf-like startled tone:

"What have you got to do with him? Don't hang out with him any more! Millhouse is a dreadful bastard, and he sent his wife to the Violet Hold, and it's all in Gnomeregan.

Everyone said he was a lunatic and a heartbreaker. "

"Ha, isn't it because Millhouse's wife wants to kill him? His wife is the real madman, she throws mechanical squirrels on his bed"

Old Wendell complained in a low voice.

As a result, his wife knocked on the head, and he stopped talking immediately.

However, while waiting for the door of the mage tower to open, the Huohua couple's attention was quickly attracted by the commotion at the gate of Amber Cliff Town. Two little dwarf mages climbed up the wine barrels piled up next to them and looked over there.

They soon saw a strange sight.

In the early morning coastal fog on Amber Cliff, three huge metal monsters, like centaur, were walking towards the camp of the Kirin Tor with heavy steps.

These metal monsters with a height of more than six meters are covered with armor, but between the armor pieces, one can clearly see the bound and flowing arcane magic power, just like lightning flowing through their blood vessels.

"It's a golem! A metal golem!"

Old Wendell exclaimed:

"I've seen something similar in Millhouse's workshop, but it's too big! It's at least twice as tall as the golem in Dalaran."

"There is someone on the golem!"

Mrs. Sparkle's eyes are sharper.

Of course, it may be due to the mechanical telescope in her hand. Through the fog, she clearly saw three strange people sitting on the saddle of a metal golem that was walking forward like a giant beast.

Much like a legendary elf.

Behind them, there were more than a dozen purple-skinned elf spellcasters in gorgeous robes, and the powerful staghorn tauren held several banners.

Painted on it was a sign Mrs. Spark had never seen before.

The battle mages in the town were also alarmed, and they gathered at the entrance of the town under the leadership of their captain battle mage Ansim.

Unlike low-level mages like the Spark couple, this elite battle mage clearly felt the arcane fluctuations of the group of uninvited elf spellcasters in front of him.

The most exaggerated is the female mage sitting on the saddle of the metal golem at the front.

The staff in her hand is constantly spreading shocking arcane brilliance outwards, and the beating violet arc represents the rolling of pure arcane energy.

You can't go wrong.

Such a majestic flow of magic power is undoubtedly a legendary spellcaster!

But these elves.

Where are they from?

This is completely different from the high elves of Quel'Thalas. You can tell by their skin and long ears that they are a group of strange elves with few records.

"crash"

Amidst the sharp neighing sounds like war horses and crows, the beautiful and brave king of Hippogryph descended from the sky, and this brave wind vulture flapped its huge wings, sweeping away the surrounding mist.

It fell slowly to the ground in the stream of smoke, just in front of this group of vigilant Kirin Tor battle mages.

Bu Laike, who was sitting behind the Hippogryph, specially put on his Corruptor Robe today, representing that he appeared as a spellcaster today.

However, the appearance of this cassock is really too dark and hideous.

Especially the orc-style skull spikes on the shoulders on both sides, as well as the black chain decoration on the neck, make Bo Laike really look like a good guy when he comes on stage.

Some vigilant battle mages even drew their magic swords directly, or raised their battle staffs.

"wow"

Pirates don't pay attention to this group of uninformed guys.

In his hand, the Nazaras Academy flag made overnight by the pirates of the night was unfolded in the form of a flag gun. While the flag was fluttering, he raised his voice and announced in a very embarrassing tone:

"Spellcasters of the Kirin Tor, feel honored!"

"Just today, Ms. Alia Lanyue, the most prestigious magic institution in the Elven Empire, the ancient academy passed down for thousands of years, the orthodox successor under the crown of the Supreme Mage Metri, the glorious and glorious Nazaras Academy of Magic .

Bringing the consul of the Elf Empire Faronaar, the Queen's advisor, and the magic prince Farondis.

Come to your boring and dilapidated camp with Royal Archmage, Companion of Guardians, and Father of Astral Mage, His Excellency Nieras Elan, to visit the spellcasters of the Kirin Tor and perform friendly magic communicate with.

What are you still doing here?

Go invite the person in charge of your small camp to come and welcome the honorable one! There is no need for carpets or anything, and there is no need to prepare for the banquet. We are here for knowledge and truth.

Sorry, you don't have much wisdom left in this place, so just stay for a while and leave. "

Faced with Bo Laike's unceremonious and obviously provocative words, the first reaction of the battle mage captain Ansim was not to feel humiliated.

He froze there, thinking about another thing.

Man, this string of titles is outrageous!

What kind of queen, what kind of prince, the head of the listener hurts, and what happened to the "supreme mage"? I have been a high-level mage for many years, why have I never heard that Master Metri, the founder of modern magic, has such an exaggerated title?

Don't everyone call him a hermit?

but

Narsalas College, where did you hear the name?

"It really is them! God, I always thought it was just a legend."

Behind Ansme, a high elf battle mage looked at the flag in Bu Laike's hand, and after a few seconds, he let out an exclamation. He whispered a few words to his captain about the high elves' records about Narsalas Academy .

Ansme nodded, and asked the battle mage to quickly inform the manager of Amber Cliff, Ms. Aiwa Noel, and the high-level mage Amy Marin who is currently stationed here.

Then he straightened his robes again, stepped forward and said to Bu Laike neither humble nor overbearing:

"Although I have not heard any rumors about Narthalas College, if you come for a discussion of truth and wisdom, then we in the Kirin Tor will welcome you.

Just get into town and put down your weapons.

And you said earlier that His Excellency Nieras Elan was among the companions? This seems unlikely, even the rats in the sewers of Dalaran know that the Archmage of Ellan has already "

"Idiots always think that what they see is the whole world, and every word they say because of their ignorance makes people laugh out loud."

Bu Laike sneered and sneered. He steered his hippogryph out of the way, and one of the three nightborne golems behind him slowly stepped forward.

The battle mage Ansmu walked over, and clearly saw His Excellency Elan sitting on the saddle of the golem, holding an elf book in his hand, and he was immediately shocked.

Hastily gave Elan a courtesy from a low-level mage to a high-level mage.

Elan was very calm, just waved his hand casually and said:

"I have gained hope after the bad luck of death, and now I am no longer the archmage of Dalaran and Stormwind, I am just an ordinary instructor of the Arcane School of Nathalas College.

But I can vouch on my honor that today's magical exchanges are entirely in accordance with etiquette and tradition.

In fact, I also have here a formal letter which I ask you to forward to His Excellency Antonidas. "

Elan handed a letter with his own emblem on it to Battle Mage Ansm, and he said softly:

"In a few months, the senior officials and disciples of Narsalas Academy will pay an official visit to Dalaran, hoping that the Council of Six can make preparations in advance.

Also, my elf friends, take the true meaning of magic very seriously, and hope that the high-ranking mages of the Kirin Tor will not disappoint the Headmaster and Prince.

Otherwise, the brilliance of the magical city of mankind will start to dim from today. "

Elan's words made the Captain of the Battle Mage look serious.

He looked back at the other golem. Prince Farondis, who was sitting on it, looked at the human-style mage tower in front of him, and asked Ansm in Salas language:

"Human spellcasters, I heard that you call your city a 'Holy Land of Magic'? This title, in my opinion, is indeed a bit too arrogant.

I have seen real magical holy places countless times with my own eyes. I hope your knowledge and wisdom are worthy of your ambitions. "
