Duque was stunned.
The breath that he exhaled from his nose and mouth was full of surprise.
The old man looked at Duque, his seemingly old and muddy eyes gleaming with wisdom. The furnishings in the room were very simple. Soft beige walls, two comfortable armchairs, and a low coffee table. That was everything. It was so simple that it was impossible to find anything else to distract his attention from the other party.
After a short moment of surprise, Duque looked at the old mage who gave him a chance and a new start in the World of Azeroth.
It was a very complicated look. There was the disappointment of giving up, but there was also the hope of placing his hopes on someone else.
In the old man's face, Duque seemed to see the last wish of an old man who was obsessed with magic and struggled for his whole life but did not achieve much. Duque could not bear to reject the hope of this old man who was at the end of his life and finally nodded.
"If you agree, I'll call you 'Teacher' from now on."
Old man Norton felt like he was struck by lightning. His whole body trembled as if his ears were not working well and he was hearing things. His eyes widened in disbelief. What? The arrogant kid who looked down on the world's most powerful mage, Medivh, actually called me teacher?
Happiness came so suddenly that the old man could not believe it.
"Uh, Duque, that … I really wanted to be your teacher … But Medivh … That … I, actually …" The old man was a little incoherent.
Duque stepped forward and grabbed old man Norton's hand. "Don't underestimate yourself. If it wasn't for your suggestion at Northshire Abbey, I might have been beaten to death by that fellow Brando. As for my refusal to be Medivh's disciple, it's not just because of ambition. There's a deeper reason. You'll understand my difficulties in the future. "
The old man's mouth trembled and his eyes became moist. In the end, the old man did not cry. Instead, he let out a long sigh. "Please forgive this old man who knows a little magic but has no courage. I'm really ashamed to be your teacher. If I want to be your teacher, I should use my body to be your safe haven. At that moment, I didn't stand up. I knew that I would never have the chance to be your teacher. However, I will be honored to be your guide into the Hall of Magic. "
Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, Duque could only nod.
A teacher and a guide were two completely different concepts. But that was all they could do.
Old Norton immediately put on a stern face. He took out the [High Elf Mage Apprentice Handbook] with one hand and a translation that he had written himself.
"I've carefully studied this [Beginner's Handbook] for a long time, and I found that for the past thousand years, mankind's research in the field of magic has actually taken a detour.
"Detour?"
"Yes! Traditional magic training was nothing more than teaching talented kids a lot of magic knowledge and letting them communicate with the magic energy in the Elemental Realm or other alien worlds. Then, they would guide the magic energy into their own bodies through meditation to transform themselves and form magic circuits. After that, they would train day after day, making the magic circuits thick and strong. "
At this point, the old man pointed at the elven language on the handbook and suddenly spat, "This is indeed the safest way to train. A thousand years ago, when humans had no contact with magic, this method was indeed the safest and most secure way to train. But the cunning elves left something up their sleeves. "
"Left something up their sleeves?" Duque pricked up his ears.
"Yes! Left something up their sleeves! Do you know why high elves are naturally better at magic than humans? "
Duque frowned, "Race's innate talent?"
"Of course this is one of the reasons, but there's another reason — the Sunwell!"
Duque immediately realised something, "You mean …"
"Yes! Actually, for a good seedling with a strong physique, the foundation of magic can be built up quickly. No, even an acolyte with an average physique can easily rise to the level of a Morning Star Wizard. The prerequisite is that they need a source of highly concentrated magic to transform their bodies day and night, and it has to be the body of a child whose body is still in its puberty. "
Duque felt a headache coming on. Where was he going to find a Sunwell? That thing was tightly guarded by the high elves, and they would fight anyone who tried to touch it. He did not think that he had the ability to deal with the Sun King in Cuel Salas.
At this moment, old man Norton patted Duque's shoulder, "I'm willing to bet that even the person who gave you this [Apprentice's Handbook] did not realise that he had given you such a shocking treasure trove!"
Duque added in his heart, It's' she ', not' he '.
"The first 49 pages are essentially no different from the human wizard apprentice training manuals. At most, they're more refined. But the last page … "The old man flipped to the last page of the handbook. Duque did not know elven, but this did not stop him from noticing that the elven words had suddenly become sloppy. It was completely different from the fair and elegant handwriting at the front, and seemed to be very casual.
The old man also flipped open Duque's translation book. Duque realised that the last page had not been translated.
"Do you know why I didn't translate it?"
Duque shook his head.
"Because the elven language on this page is nonsensical." The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It's just like how you created a Pearl Course out of thin air. I was also suddenly enlightened. This is not a language at all, but a special magic circuit layout. "
The old man suddenly became excited. "Haha! It just so happened that I, an arcana expert, discovered the secret on it. This is a special magic circuit design that can absorb the surrounding arcana energy into the body like a vortex! "
"This …" Duque was surprised.
"And this is a completely different magic circuit cultivation method that is commonly used by the elves. It has a more extensive magic circuit expansion method for the absorption of arcana energy. I don't know why the Sun King hinted to Prince Kael 'thas to cultivate like this, but this is undoubtedly a help to you. If you cultivate according to this, you can quickly increase and strengthen your magic circuit even without the Sunwell. "
As soon as old man Norton said this, Duque immediately understood why. According to the history of the game, in the near future, Cuel Salas would fall, and all the remaining high elves would fall into a strong addiction to arcana energy.
As the king of the high elves, Sun King Anastrian certainly knew how bad the addiction of the Sunwell was for the elves. So he sent Kael 'thas to the Dalajan to study, which was also a disguised way to give Kael' thas more hope and a broader future.
However, the Sun King did not expect that his little selfishness, which he thought could not be discovered, would flow into the hands of Aurelia, and then to Duque.
Duque suddenly sighed. Aurelia was really his benefactor!
