Although few people in Dalaran know his name, anyone who has seen Arugal will remember his strange behavior deeply.
You have to know that in a place like Dalaran where mages gather together, it is very difficult for you to be recognized. The mages who can enter Dalaran to practice are all geniuses selected from various countries in the human race, and even
In this way, not every genius can stay in Dalaran after each year of practice.
But Arugao just did it.
He does not have superhuman magical talent, nor does he have magical spell-casting methods. Even his ability to sense magic is only half-assed. It is difficult not to doubt that Arugal will eventually stay in Dalaran.
In fact, is there some dirty shady transaction?
But actually, no!
Arugal relied on his own efforts to stay in Dalaran. Of course, the way he worked hard was a bit weird and unreasonable, and was not understood by most mages.
"Arugao! Today we are going to summon a ferocious beast! Get up quickly and come up to help! You lazy idiot!"
Dalaran's famous "crazy" archmage Ur shouted in his mage tower again. Compared with other mages' mage towers, Master Ur's mage tower can almost be called a "garbage dump". In fact,
Calling it a garbage dump is looking down upon it.
Look here, the corpse of the astral hound summoned from the starry sky has begun to rot, but there is not even a single person to extract the precious blood before it completely deteriorates. There are leftover burgers from the morning and unwashed dishes.
Stacked together, there is a tattered black robe thrown on the experimental table, but don't underestimate it, this is a "robe" made by the summoning master Mr. Ur himself.
Yes, it has some magical effects, provided you can tolerate the bad taste of the tattered robe and the disgusting smell it emits.
But believe me, even so, if you send it to the goblin auction house, you can still get money that you will never make in your life, provided that you can summon those disgusting monsters from Ur.
Escape.
As for Arugao, he lives in such a garbage dump.
He is Ur's apprentice, and he is also the only man in Dalaran who is willing to become Ur's apprentice... Even the best-tempered Master Antonidas once reprimanded Ur as a "madman whose brain was burned out by magic."
, and to become the apprentice of such a person, one needs to pay a terrible price and have nerves like steel.
So far, Arugal is the only one in Dalaran who has done this. This mage apprentice from the remote countryside of Gilneas also became a high-level mage under the torture of Ur, far from the archmage.
, there is only one step left.
But the terrible price he paid for this was that Arugal might not even realize that he had become accustomed to Ur's weird and crazy behavior and began to move closer to his mentor.
"I'm here, stop shouting, hearing your voice every morning will make my good mood disappear."
A sleepy-eyed Arugal walked out of his room in his relatively clean robes and threw the leftover food from last night into the trash at the door. He did not need to abide by the strict rules of Dalaran mages.
daily habits, because those supervisory mages would never enter Master Ur's mage tower.
The Gilneans slowly climbed up the stairs. This mage tower did not have as magical a portal as other mage towers. Ur respected the habits of the mages in ancient times. His mage tower was a "tower" in the true sense.
It is 25 meters high. From the bottom to the top, there are only steps made of hard wooden boards. If you have bad eyesight or are fainted by the weird smell in the tower, you are likely to fall down...
There is no need to say more about the result.
But fortunately, the mage Arugao has become accustomed to this kind of exercise, which can be called "high-intensity" for a mage.
When he climbed to the top, the air in the mage tower finally got better. The crazy Ur was wearing a shabby robe and his gray hair was not combed. He looked like a crazy old man. He did not wait for his apprentice to arrive.
, but I have already started my favorite "summoning".
Oh, by the way, did I mention Ur's weird habits?
As the most powerful summoning mage among humans, Wuer has to summon a monster from somewhere somewhere for fun every day. He likes the feeling of traveling through the worlds during this summoning process, just like taking medicine.
Same, can't stop at all.
But generally speaking, Ur summons some little monsters that are not too troublesome, the kind that he can easily crush to death, and the cemetery he summons is also very simple. In addition to enjoying the fun of summoning, he also wants to come
Observe the living habits and characteristics of these alien creatures, and then record them in your own "Book of Ur". Of course, this great and crazy book is still being written, so Ur has not been driven out of Dalaran yet.
Even 2 months ago, he accidentally summoned a Void Terror and almost destroyed a city block.
"So, my dear Master, what are we summoning today?"
Arugao picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a sip of wine with great interest, and stood watching Ur's summoning ceremony as if he were dancing to a great god. The most peculiar thing is that Ur can dance back and forth while still dancing.
Answer your own apprentice’s questions.
"What else could it be?"
The Summoning Master jumped dissatisfied and said:
"Of course it's the Emerald Dream! Didn't I tell you? The creatures summoned from that place are all extremely beautiful. For example, the specimen of the rainbow horse I gave to Modera a year ago, that's me
I was "caught" from the Emerald Dream. Today, I want to summon that beautiful place again. Oh, I hope the powerful Ysera doesn't find me."
"interesting."
After Arugao finished drinking the wine, he picked up the quill and opened the purple "Book of Ur" dotted with green light spots spread out on the table, preparing to record the process of this summoning.
The Emerald Dream is not another small world, it is a demiplane that covers the real world, and because of the relationship between the powerful Green Dragon Queen and the Wild Demigod living in it, breaking through the space barrier of the Emerald Dream is a task.
It is a very difficult and risky matter. Master Ur's favorite disciple, the Gilnean Arugal, is not yet able to preside over such a summoning ceremony.
It's not that he can't, but that he lacks the experience to deal with dangerous calls.
"I said, mentor, the dwarf warlock who contacted us last month sent me another magic message last night."
Arugao waited boredly for the summoning ceremony to be completed. He complained to his mentor:
"That guy named Wilfred Fizban has never forgotten the summoning spell you made. He said that he would pay any price in exchange for a summoning magic seal tailor-made for him. This is what he has been asked to do.
This is the 47th time I have refused, and I feel a little embarrassed."
"I'm not free!"
Concentrating on dancing to the great god...er, I mean, Master Ur, who was concentrating on the summoning ceremony, said without looking back:
"You can take on this private job, as long as you are not discovered by the six-person council. Anyway, all those warlocks need is the demonic talisman that twists the void. The method of making the summoning magic seal is on page 1456 of the Book of Ur.
By the way, don’t get too involved with those warlocks, my apprentice, they are all a bunch of people who eat people but don’t spit out bones, and don’t be fooled by that little dwarf’s harmless appearance.”
Ur muttered:
"I can feel that there is a crazy soul hidden in that short body. Who knows what he will do with the magic seal I made."
"Okay, then I'll contact him tonight. Is there anything you want?"
Arugao looked at the seven-colored light emitting from the summoning ceremony, and began to quickly record everything in front of him. As he wrote, he asked:
"We can blackmail the warlock. I heard that he has a close relationship with the Mana Storm family. Maybe we can get some good things."
"I?"
Ur stopped beating, reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his dirty robe, and whispered:
"What do I want? I don't know...but maybe a succubus would be fun. Don't you think it's too quiet in our mage tower? We need a housekeeper, a beautiful one who can
The flirtatious butler.”
"Well, I'm sure that even a hungry succubus won't look for you."
Arugao teased his mentor and he snorted:
"But since I've already reached out to ask for it, why not ask him to send over two succubi, plus some materials related to demons... Wait, mentor, are you sure this summoning step is correct? How did this light turn into darkness?
Is it red?”
The high-level mage put down the pen in his hand and walked to his mentor. Master Wuer also frowned tightly:
"This is wrong. The Emerald Dream itself is a demiplane. Why is there another demiplane hidden in it? And it seems to be sealed. This kind of aura... is crazy. Even the one last time
The Void Terror doesn't have such a crazy will, this must be something sealed here."
The summoning master stretched out his hand and pulled his apprentice back a few steps. He flicked his fingers, and a spark of magic rushed to the edge of the running summoning circle, disrupting the flow of magic. So under Arugao's curious eyes
, the magic circle exuding a strange dark red aura slowly stopped operating.
"Write it down, Arugal!"
Ur's brows furrowed. Only at this moment did he behave like a powerful and wise mage. He leaned on his staff, circled the circle a few times, and said in a deep voice:
"Twelve days before the summer solstice of the 12th year of the Dark Portal, this was a failed summoning ceremony. No, it cannot be called a failure, but I felt the malice hidden in the accidentally discovered space opposite. I felt that I was sealed in
There are so many souls in it, chaotic, wild, crazy souls, that it’s like a specially built space cage.”
"Unless it's a matter of life and death, we can't communicate with that space anymore... It's too dangerous, and judging from the sealing technique, this cage is probably related to the night elves, and I hate everything related to the night elves.
exist!"
After saying that, the summoning master turned to look at his apprentice, only to find Arugao standing there blankly. This made Ur very dissatisfied, because Arugao, who had always been "smart", showed the same expression as other mages.
Stupid expression.
So he waved his cane and hit his disciple, awakening Arugao.
"Have you finished recording? What are you doing again?"
Ur looked at his disciple dissatisfied. Arugao shrugged and turned the book in his hand. The beautiful magic pattern on his hand made the master nod. Arugao looked at his wrist carefully.
The tiny pieces of light shining on that bracelet.
That means the magic message is activated, and its meaning is simple:
"This letter represents my greetings and your future...from your loyal friend, Khadgar, in the Everglades of Draenor."
Along with the text message, there were also the coordinates of a location in Lake Lordamre. It seemed that Khadgar sent someone to deliver a letter, but due to Khadgar's current bad reputation in Dalaran, Ah
Lu Gao finally decided not to tell anyone else about this.
As a "magical" mage, after following a "magical" mentor, Arugal had very few friends in Dalaran...but he became an old "weirdo" because he studied magic with Medivh.
"The mage Khadgar is his best friend, bar none.
Without considering the elegance of the text, maybe we can call it...a friendship between "geeks"?
Some readers said that I glorified Gatheris too much... Actually, I couldn't help it. There were only a few well-known figures in Lordaeron at that time. Uther and Fordring, who believed in the supremacy of royal power, would definitely not be able to say this.
, I have no idea whether other people have the right to command the army~
