Kael 'thas also believed that he was talented, but his speed of leveling up was far slower than Duque's. The power he had today was built with the long lives of the High Elves.
Kael 'thas' heart rippled, and Jaina, who still had the temperament of a little girl, jumped up and down excitedly, congratulating Duque.
Illusia's expression was a little complicated. She did not know how to describe the relationship between her and Duque, which seemed to be close, but in fact did not have much to do with each other. She could only congratulate Duque lightly.
In the Barov family, Illusia felt suffocated.
The noble Barov family was a typical aristocratic family. Her father, Arikos, had extraordinary means and abilities, and had unparalleled influence in the entire Alterac Kingdom. However, he was very cold when it came to kinship. He had almost no time to care for his children.
Her mother was a mage, busy with all kinds of experiments, and similarly did not have much time to care for her children.
Illusia's two younger brothers, Wilton and Alex, were like two sharks in their mother's womb. At a young age, they had already begun to fight incessantly, openly and secretly, for the position of the next Barov family leader.
Escaping to the Dalajan was the best solution Illusia could think of. However, she knew that she could not escape from the Barov family. Unmarried women of the nobility had always been important political bargaining chips. Perhaps only when she was married off by the family, would she be able to relax a little from the family's strangle-like control.
The only thing that was fortunate was that although her father did not care about her, he had never given her any shortage of funds for her expenses and magic experiments.
Today, it seemed to be a little different.
Illusia knew that her fate would be linked to the man in front of her for a long time, who looked like a big boy, named Duque.
"Kael 'thas, I'm not familiar with the Dalajan, but since you said that as long as you are a mage, you can attend classes in the Dalajan, publish papers, or do all kinds of things related to your identity as a mage to expand your influence. I happen to have time, so I'll give a few public classes. "
Kael 'thas' eyes lit up when he heard this. "Oh? Really, that's great. What class do you want to give? What's the topic? "
Duque smiled mysteriously. "'Basic Practice of Multicasting', 'Practice of Multicasting', and 'Heat Transfer Theory of Fire'."
Duque saw that Illusia's body trembled.
These were her mother's excuses for letting her study with Duke.
The eldest daughter of the Barov family raised her head in bewilderment. She did not know why Duke had chosen to be a guest lecturer at such a time.
Kael 'thas knew that it was because of his suggestion that Duke had decided to expand his influence and work hard to rebuild the Stormwind Kingdom's mages.
Dalaran had an academy that was open to the public. As long as one paid a low fee, they would teach apprentices with magic aptitude the basics of magic.
After a few years of screening, those who passed the test would officially become Advanced Apprentices or Beginner Magicians, and they would be allowed to enter a higher academy to further their studies.
At this point, the Dalajan's learning and research would become quite liberalized.
Basic Magicians were allowed to study different subjects according to their talents and preferences. They could also study under the tutelage of any Magician who was registered in the school.
There was a precondition — the equivalent exchange that mages respected the most.
Apart from the public classes that were advertised, all of the classes had to be paid. The academy would evaluate the practicality of the subject taught by the lecturer, the theoretical content, the standard of the lecture, and many other factors, and then set a price.
The apprentice had to pay for it.
Of course, if one wanted to learn more advanced content, they would have to pay the price of becoming the lecturer's disciple.
Lecturers also had all sorts of requirements for apprentices. Some wanted money, some wanted the apprentice to provide spellcasting materials, and of course, most wanted the apprentice to be their experimental assistant.
Of course, the children of rich families had it easier, but the children of poor families often had to work. Acolytes also had various ways to earn the necessary money. For example, the simplest way was to sell oneself to the Dalajan Mage Guild, sign a contract, and work for them for years in exchange for money. They either worked as mercenaries or created magic items to sell.
There were both opportunities and responsibilities.
This was the Dalajan.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that as long as Duque showed enough strength, it wasn't impossible to recruit another group of mages.
After all, the Stormwind Mage Guild only existed in name. All the mages added together could only fight twelve people. This was just the number of people in a small team. Apart from Duque and the retired old man Norton, everyone else was an Earth Mage.
Duque smiled and wrote down a few advertising slogans:
"A duel of magic isn't as simple as you think. Still thinking about how to make a bigger fireball to defeat your opponent? Then you're out of date! The legendary mage who burned a hundred thousand orcs, Duke Marcus, will teach you Multi-Casting. Once you learn it, you can definitely beat other mages of the same level. "
The three audience members looked at it and their faces turned pale!
Arrogant, egotistical, and absolutely subversive.
This was because, in the traditional Dalaran Mages' teachings, the lecturers mostly taught how to deal with opponents who were also Mages. They mostly taught how to build a magic shield and then bombard each other with a bigger fireball to destroy the opponent's shield and achieve victory.
What? A big fireball couldn't defeat the opponent? Then it must be because your fireball wasn't big enough.
There was no enemy that a big fireball couldn't defeat. If there was, then two fireballs would be enough.
Now, Duque actually overturned all the arguments of these academic lecturers. If this wasn't subversive, then what was?
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be criticized for being sensationalist, but Duque had a lot of achievements to back him up. Whether it was the battle against the demons in Karazhan and killing Medivh, the burning of the Elven Forest, the rescue of 50,000 elite soldiers with the ice ship, or most recently, the rescue of four kings from a large group of Orc Sword Saint assassins with his own strength.
All of them were dazzling achievements.
Before there was better and more sufficient evidence to prove that Duque couldn't do it, no one could refute Duque.
No one would be stupid enough to think that Duque was an academic mage. Duque was classified as a typical practical mage.
No, to say that practical mages were weak.
Because a practical mage could often fight ten academic mages. Duque … Duque gave people the feeling that he was the kind of guy who "wanted to fight a hundred"!
In the shortest amount of time, the news that the Alliance's Deputy Commander Duke Marcus was going to publicly teach practical magic in the Dalajan spread like wildfire throughout the Dalajan in the shortest amount of time.
