Duque, with the knowledge of a transmigrator and an engineering and equipment major, systematically explained to more than ten thousand people what fire was, the nature of fire, and the characteristics of fire.
For the magic apprentices in the World of Azeroth, this was an almost new theoretical system, but it did not conflict with the magic knowledge they had learned before.
They were simply fascinated by it.
Some official Mages wanted to find Duque's faults and refute Duque, but they could not find a single flaw in his words.
For example, "Heat will only flow from a high temperature to a low temperature. For example, if the temperature of a fire is high, it can heat up cold water." These seemingly easy to understand things, after being systematically explained by professional thermodynamics theory, almost all magic apprentices realized that their [Fireball] would definitely improve.
Fireball was not to be underestimated. As the first damaging spell that most magic apprentices learned, the popularity of Fireball could be said to be 100%.
It was no exaggeration to say that the thermodynamics theory that Duque had brought over had an obvious effect on the improvement of the magic level of the entire Dalajan.
When the last grain of sand in the magic hourglass that was specially used to measure time fell and a pleasant hum sounded on the podium, Duque just happened to say, "Today's class ends here. My lecture is over." His timing was so precise that he did not seem like a young man at all, but the most experienced teacher.
For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.
"Lecturer Marcus! Don't stop so quickly! Speak more! Speak more! "
"We still want to listen!"
"Lecturer, that's great!"
After a brief uproar, everyone seemed to realize that Duque would definitely not delay the class. Immediately, there was an earth-shattering applause in the huge auditorium.
Clap clap clap clap! The applause was like an endless tsunami, lasting for a long time.
Apart from the unlucky few who left early in the morning due to injuries, every magic apprentice, every official Mage who came to listen to the lecture, and of course, Kael 'thas, all stood up and gave Duque the most sincere applause.
After the applause stopped, Kael 'thas had already come to the podium with a bright smile on his face.
"Wonderful, Duque, your lecture has completely exceeded the limits of my imagination. I thought you were best at actual combat, but I didn't expect your theoretical knowledge to be just as rich. I can't even tell if you're a practical or an academic. " Although Kael 'thas really wanted to ask if these theories came from Medivh's Karazhan Library, asking now would undoubtedly help Duque start a fight. Kael 'thas was simply happy for Duque.
On the other side, Jaina had already become a fan. She chased after Duque and asked him all sorts of questions in admiration.
"Brother Marcus, do you accept disciples? Why don't I become your disciple? "
Right now, Jaina was still a rather innocent girl. Her watery blue eyes made it easy for people to feel sorry for her, so she agreed immediately.
"Don't you worship Antonidas?" Duque blurted out.
"Hey, how did you know?"
Only then did Duque realize that he had spilled the beans, but it was easy to make up for it. "Who in the Dalajan doesn't worship Master Antonidas?"
"Uh, that's true. But Master is very busy. Recently, he said he was injured, but everyone knows that he's actually in the laboratory every day. "
A flock of non-existent crows flew over Duque's head. Antonidas, can you be more professional at pretending to be sick? Even a twelve-year-old girl knows that you're pretending.
Of course, Duque had no interest in provoking Jaina. Leaving aside her vacillating personality between war and peace, Duque had no confidence in teaching Jaina.
He knew his own business. Duque was not a pure academic. Duque himself was half-baked in the real magic theories of this world. Even if Duque was unhappy with Jaina, who had cursed his father to death in the 'history', Jaina was still one of the more capable heroes in the history of the Alliance. She would be a core existence in too many major events in the future.
Messing with Jaina's growth would make the future even more uncontrollable.
Duque grandly refused.
"My apologies, Princess Proudmoore. I'm actually very busy. This time, I'm here mainly to visit Master Antonidas and help Stormwind recruit some mages to rebuild the Stormwind Royal Mages. "At this time, there were many people in front of the stage. When everyone heard this, they immediately understood.
Duque did not hide his purpose. The world of mages was about equivalent exchange. Cheating was a bad idea.
Duque smiled and turned to Ilucia. "My assistant, I'll leave the answer to my questions about accepting disciples to you. Become my disciple or assistant, and you will receive my guidance and the right to read the bottom three levels of the Karazhan Grand Library for free. The price is to join the Stormwind Royal Mages as my disciple, and fight for the Alliance and Stormwind for three years. "
Just like joining the Dalajan Mages could get all kinds of benefits, Duque's recruitment was also very open.
It was both a risk and an opportunity.
When she heard that she had the obligation to fight, Jaina knew that she had no chance. Her father would not allow the underage Jaina to get involved in the war. In fact, Dailin had already informed her that if the Dalajan was in danger, there would be a specialized group of mages that would teleport her back to Kul 'Tiras in the shortest time possible.
"Sigh!" Jaina sighed. "Looks like I can only wait until this war is over before I have the chance to visit Marcus."
Duque smiled and did not say anything.
After the lecture, Duque was immediately captured by Antonidas.
When he came to Antonidas' laboratory again, the white-haired old man did not treat Duque so well.
"Oh, Duque, this is not very kind of you. You will weaken the Dalajan's war potential. "
Duque shrugged his shoulders. Of course, he knew that even though the Dalajan had always pursued a liberal policy, where the nobles of other countries could hire any apprentice or official mages who had not signed a slave contract, that was during times of peace.
Now was the time between the war between the Alliance and the Horde. Of course, the Dalajan had its own considerations. Duque's blatant recruitment would not cause any problems on the surface, but he was afraid that the Kirin Tor Parliament would make things difficult for the Alliance.
Duque bowed deeply. "For the future and war potential of the Dalajan, I am willing to make 1,000 copies of Karazhan's magic books and give them to the Great Dalajan Library."
Antonidas' long white eyebrows twitched. "5,000 copies, 100 mages, 300 apprentices."
"2,000 copies, 500 mages, 1000 apprentices."
"Why don't you just rob them?!" The Kirin Tor Parliament's president was furious.
"Wrong, it's easy to rob them." Duque obviously knew the importance of those magic books. He was not worried that Antonidas would not take the bait.
Knowledge was power!
"No! That's too many. At most, 200 mages and 500 apprentices. "
Thus, the two of them, who could shake the Alliance with just a stomp of their feet, began to bicker like aunties in the market in this laboratory where there were no outsiders.
The final price was: 3,000 copies of magic books in exchange for 200 official mages and 500 apprentices.
