Chapter 34: An overnight review to prepare for the college entrance examination, and a loafer who di
"What score do you think I can get on the test?"
"Just take the test, you know, I never review."
…
"What score do you think I can get on the test?"
"If you work so hard, you will definitely do better than me!"
…
"Are you nervous? I didn't sleep last night."
"I didn't even sleep last night. The magic opera here is so good!"
…
Gianna turned off the secret call.
It's better not to chat, this guy is really pissed off.
But the certainty in her heart was also stronger.
Although she is not even a magic apprentice, as a princess who has come all the way to Dalaran, she has naturally been tested and proven to have excellent magic talent before she comes to study.
Her father even told her that if she performed well, she would be personally taught by the legendary Archmage Antonidas.
The most famous genius in the magic world, when he was twelve years old, he published a paper "The Branching Method of Applying the Theory of Time Retrospective Travel to Precise Magical Practice", and thus received the ribbon of supreme wisdom.
As the youngest recipient of this award in history, he was approved to skip a grade to study at the Violet Academy, and later became the youngest Archmage at the age of only twenty.
Now, Antonidas is not only the chief mage of Dalaran, but also the speaker of the leading organization "The Council of Six of the Kirin Tor".
Dalaran is the only parliamentary country in the human kingdom, and the Kirin Tor Council is the core of its governance.
And with Antonidas's attainments and prestige in magic, the other five congressmen would basically not object to what he proposed.
In a sense, he is the actual leader of Dalaran.
Such a highly respected archmage with both strength and status is the mentor that every apprentice looks forward to most.
Gianna is no exception.
"Be prepared, I will definitely become the apprentice of the Archmage, Bob, do you think so?"
Bob was the name given to the cat by Gianna. The mastermind felt that it was weird and could not protest. He could only meow in cooperation, showing his human side.
He has very little mind allocated to this body. After all, from the current point of view, it will be some time before Arthas and Jaina appear on the stage of history. The Second Orc War has not yet broken out, let alone the natural disaster.
.
However, Alsace's character and strength have changed, which may be the butterfly effect caused by the change in Medivh's life and death. This is also the reason why the bronze dragon refuses to die for him. A single move can affect the whole body, so it must be recorded.
So the mastermind hates Jaina and wants to go to Arthas, but is afraid of being eaten by him to replenish his body...
While he was in conflict, he suddenly felt a long gaze staring at him.
When I looked up, I found a cat squatting on the wall, staring at me with blue eyes, and then meowed like a baby.
"That's..."
The mastermind checked it out and immediately recognized who this cat was.
In the mage tower in Dalaran, there seems to be only one cat that can move freely.
But this cry...
In heat?
"Huh?"
The cat's meow also attracted Jaina's attention. She stood up and came to the window. She looked at the cat and said hello: "Hello!"
The cat was very arrogant and ignored the stupid scavenger at all. It just looked at the mastermind and kept barking.
"snort!"
This neglect made Gianna unhappy. After another comparison, it was obvious that her Bob was cuter, and it was as white as snow. This black and white cat was much inferior, so she immediately opened the window.
"call!"
The mastermind breathed a sigh of relief and praised the master's action. Then he saw the cat jumping out lightly, as if it came and left in a hurry.
That night.
The mastermind was sleeping, and suddenly he felt his body light up, and then he flew up into the clouds and mist.
He opened his eyes, and a tall and thin mage was reflected in his vertical pupils, holding in his arms the little tabby cat that meowed to him during the day.
"Kel'Thuzad!"
The mastermind was shocked.
The visitor is one of the members of the Kirin Tor Council of Six, the most outstanding disciple of Archmage Antonidas, the Record Chaser, and the future adjutant of the Scourge. After transforming into a lich, he became the Lich King Al.
Sass's right-hand man.
This guy hasn't fallen into darkness yet, but from the dark circles under his eyes, the deep swollen eyes, the pale complexion, and the mental aura as cold as winter, it's obvious that he's not in a good condition either.
By the way, he was also the owner of the cat. He named the cat Mr. Bigworth and loved it very much.
The dignified archmage/lich is a cat slave.
So Kel'Thuzad came this time...
"No!!!!"
Looking at the shining eyes of Mr. Bigworth who was in heat, and then thinking that he was possessing a female cat, the mastermind let out a shrill cry.
But his soul did not dare to fluctuate at all. Instead, it was buried deeply in the cat's body, integrating perfectly with it to ensure that it would not be discovered. He could only pull his paws and call out: "Meow! Meow! Meow!"
There was no response.
Gianna was lying on the bed, sleeping like a pig. She had no idea that her favorite pet, Bob, was facing a catastrophe.
Kel'Thuzad's magic power was too strong. Catching a kitten was simply overkill. Other archmages would never do such a thing, but this eccentric guy obviously didn't care at all.
He grabbed the mastermind in front of him.
To be precise, Mr. Bigglesworth was caught in front of him.
Mr. Bigworth happily rode up and became the groom.
Half an hour later, the mastermind was already in a daze, and it left without wanting to finish. It leaned on Kel'Thuzad's hand. Kel'Thuzad raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Said: "Come back tomorrow!"
The mastermind trembled again.
You've done it three times just now. Are you going to do it again tomorrow?
No, I, the majestic demigod of the West District, the controller of the endless labyrinth, and the buryer of the guardian dragon, will never suffer this humiliation again!
Kel'Thuzad had no idea what the cat was thinking, so he sent the bride back to Jaina's house and turned around to leave.
But just as he left the foreign guests tower where Jaina was, he suddenly stopped and looked towards a corner with a cold gaze.
"Interrupting a lady's rest in the middle of the night is not what the Archmage of Dalaran should do, right?"
A boy's voice sounded slightly immature but calm, and Kel'Thuzad's expression changed slightly.
Because he saw a young man, holding a Thorium war hammer, walking out of the corner, with brilliant holy light flowing all over his body.
The holy light did not rise into the sky, but when it fell in Kel'Thuzad's eyes, it was as intense as ever.
What kind of faith, no, what kind of firm belief is needed to have such a strong power of Holy Light?
He became serious and asked directly, without asking his name or origin, "Would you like to have a fight?"
Even though Huang Shang knew that this person was a weirdo, he was still surprised by his conversation and nodded: "Okay!"
Kel'Thuzad said no more, the mage's robe swayed slightly, and his mental power turned into a faint ripple, swaying out.
Huang Shang's expression became serious.
These days, he has been wandering around Dalaran, going to all places except the Violet Academy in the center, where he couldn't enter, and chatting and laughing with many cheerful mages.
And these mages, whether they are extroverts or introverts, have two similarities in their spirit.
Focus! Calm down!
Otherwise, it is not enough to become a mage who can control arcane magic!
But now, Kel'Thuzad's spreading spirit was not only focused and calm, but also cold and hard.
His spirit was filled with darkness, and combined with his already cold mental power, there was a chill that made people shudder.
Ordinary people, let alone facing his attack, would probably catch a cold even if they stood in front of this person!
At this time, Kel'Thuzad launched an attack unceremoniously, arcane runes glowed, and an arrow condensed by frost appeared in front of his finger.
Ice Arrow!
The most common attack method for magicians, but it does not mean that they are weak.
A truly powerful mage does not cast forbidden spells that destroy the world at every turn, but turns decay into magic, such as ice arrows and fireball spells.
Whoosh!
As soon as the first ice arrow condensed, it flew in front of Huang Shang like a lightning bolt and collided with the Thorium war hammer.
A stream of frost spread from point to surface, quickly spreading towards the entire warhammer, and then impacted towards the wrist.
It does not pursue absolute zero like the Huntian Baojian Bixuebing, but it is an ultimate use of elements.
This is the arcane!
Faced with such an offensive, Huang Shang also became serious, mobilized all his strength, and there was a collision between holy light and arcane magic!
A very monotonous offensive, just like the counterattack in Harry Potter. As soon as the elemental power of the ice arrow reached half, it was blocked by the holy light attached to the war hammer, and the two sides were killing each other.
Kel'Thuzad kept his palms stretched forward unchanged, and Huang Shang's body surface continued to emit powerful light. The two sides faced each other, and it seemed that the stalemate could continue like this.
But in fact, both sides changed their moves in the next second. Kel'Thuzad opened his palms and fired three ice spear techniques and two ice arrows one after another. Then he flashed and teleported directly behind Huang Shang.
, and another cool ice pick technique with his backhand.
For a moment, Huang Shang's body was surrounded by the howling cold wind, as if he had fallen into the most terrifying ice realm, but he had already stepped out of the Sacred Consecration in advance and launched the Sacred Storm.
The holy light turned into a whirlwind and roared out, driving out every ice element within twenty yards. Then Huang Shang swung his war hammer and struck it accurately in front of Kel'Thuzad.
Bang!
The power of the Holy Light and the Arcane once again faced off, but this time it was no longer a point-to-point bombardment, but a face-to-face push.
Kel'Thuzad's pale face became more and more rosy. It was an exciting contest. Unfortunately, at this moment, a majestic and solemn mental wave suddenly came: "Stop! Kel'Thuzad, you use the power of arcane magic.
On the wrong side!”
That was the voice of Antonidas, majestic and upright, and the spiritual ocean was boundless and full of wisdom.
Kel'Thuzad disapproved of this mentor deep in his eyes, but he had to stop his magic.
All kinds of ice spells dissipated, and he showed a trace of uncontrollable regret.
Huang Shang also felt a little regretful.
The two sides are not really fighting, but it is a discussion between arcane magic and holy light.
It was just that Kel'Thuzad did not spare any effort. In order to avoid causing casualties, Antonidas gave the order to stop this behavior.
For other mages, the mage tower is their home court. For Antonidas, the entire Dalaran is his mage tower.
Everything that happened here was reflected in his spiritual ocean and was vividly visible.
So now, the fight is definitely impossible, but just when Huang Shang turned around and was about to leave, Kel'Thuzad's voice came from behind: "Would you like to come to my house and sit for a while?"
"Could this be the bond between the villains?"
Huang Shang turned around and replied: "I am extremely happy!"
He came to Dalaran originally to learn the arcane arts. Now one of the six most powerful mages has extended an invitation, and there is no reason to refuse.
Kel'Thuzad stretched out his hand, and the cat Mr. Bigglesworth, who had smartly run aside before, jumped onto his palm, hugging his beloved cat, and he resumed his taciturn manner and led the way.
Soon, a mage tower arrived.
In terms of height, it is only below the violet tower in the center, but in fact, as Kel'Thuzad is, his mage tower can be built there, and it is obviously out of place outside.
Huang Shang followed him into the tower and found that the place was not slovenly. The walls were covered with reinforcement spells and blocking spells, and the decoration was very gentle, not like the work of this cold and solemn man.
"By the way, Kel'Thuzad had a dead wife. It was precisely because he wanted to resurrect his wife that he later became a lich..."
Huang Shang thought of Kel'Thuzad's tragic experience and realized that the decoration here should be his wife's decoration, and the ink, pens and magic paper scrolls that can be seen everywhere are necessary for the otaku mage.
It seemed that no guests had come for a long time. Kel'Thuzad stood in the middle of the hall, a little confused, hesitating whether to pour a drink, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do such a stupid and unnecessary thing. He looked at Huang Shang: "
Do you want to learn arcane magic?"
Huang Shang nodded: "Yes."
Kel'Thuzad asked: "What categories are you going to learn?"
Arcana is the knowledge left by the Titans. After tens of millions of years of development, there are too many categories. Ice and Fire are major categories, and there are countless branches within them.
Huang Shang vaguely understood what Kel'Thuzad meant and replied: "I don't have an idea yet. I just study whatever I'm interested in."
The corners of Kel'Thuzad's mouth curled up, and he showed a smile that was even uglier than crying: "Okay, I want to recommend to you the category I studied, necromancy!"
Huang Shang raised his eyebrows just right: "Psychic skills?"
"Yes, our world is a sad world. There is endless arcane knowledge, but it only gives us limited life..."
Kel'Thuzad paused, thinking of his dead wife, and showed deep sadness: "After death, we may only become lonely ghosts, wandering in the world, waiting for the disappearance of the soul, or being tortured by the void.
Crazy...so necromancy is the most important and profound art!"
Huang Shang became a listener and listened silently without correcting this extreme idea.
Perhaps because he had experienced too much prejudice and criticism, Kel'Thuzad felt that it was very useful for the person in front of him to listen without saying a word. He emphasized: "Necromanticism is a road to immortality, body and soul.
They are all carriers and will be damaged over time. Only by creating an immortal carrier can it exist forever. No matter what the price is, as long as we can reach that step, we will become truly great!"
Only then did Huang Shang reply: "What a wonderful idea."
"Right? Right?"
Kel'Thuzad finally became excited.
An eccentric person, if he sees it right, will be a lifelong friend or enemy. He stared at Huang Shang and said seriously: "Become my apprentice, and I will teach you everything I have studied without reservation!"
…
Gianna woke up in a daze and vaguely seemed to see Bob crying.
She blinked and took a closer look.
Oh, it turns out he was licking his paws.
"I fell asleep."
She hit her head with her palm, stood up and started to enjoy the breakfast prepared by the maid, preparing for a new round of review.
The magic talent test is divided into written test, meditation and interview.
Meditation cannot be improvised, and interviews are also difficult. There is only a written test, and you need to familiarize yourself with the materials that Dalaran sends to the nobles of the major kingdoms. This way, you can save a lot of energy and lay the foundation for becoming a mage apprentice.
This is the most high-end magic academy in the continent. It doesn't care about mediocrity at all. Once you enter, you must keep up with the teacher's rhythm.
So there is no other way, let’s start the problem sea strategy.
"I wonder how Alsace is doing..."
As she was doing this, Jaina thought of that annoying guy again.
This guy is a genius in the cultivation of Holy Light. If he really wants to study it, he can still pass this magic test, right?
She felt itchy and unbearable, and finally couldn't hold it back any longer and activated the magic secret.
This is a benefit of Dalaran. All residents in this city can enjoy secret words three times a day, and Jaina likes to chat in secret words.
At this time, she asked again: "Alsace, how is your review going?"
A calm voice came from the other side: "I don't have to take the test."
Jaina was very anxious after hearing this: "Don't give up, you can come to me and I will help you review."
The top student sent an invitation to the bad student.
The other side replied: "You misunderstood. I don't need to take the test. I have been accepted as an apprentice by the Kirin Tor Council member and Archmage Kel'Thuzad. Naturally, I don't need to go through the test process. You can study hard. I
Waiting for you at Violet Academy..."
The real academic tyrant stabbed the fake academic tyrant in the chest.
Jaina looked up and fell.
…
After a while.
The mastermind, who was lying in the cat's nest feeling sorry for himself, found that the owner was as angry as a little hen, grabbing his hair and walking around, and his golden hair was scratched into a hen's nest.
The mastermind sighed.
The psychological quality of today’s young people is not up to par!
Just looking at him can help you adjust your mentality!
That night, the great mage holding the cat appeared again.
In the early morning of the next day, Gianna, who had regained her composure, found her cat lying in the nest, helpless, and getting no response no matter how she called.
This is the master's humiliation and his servant's injury...
