Oculus came to his senses and replied respectfully: "Yes, sir. As long as the energy problem is overcome, I can spread the teleportation network nodes throughout the Suramar area."
In fact, he did not say anything else. As long as the relationship between the magic power of the Well of Eternity and the magic network is understood, this technology can be extended to the entire empire.But he didn't want the magister, who was obviously of extraordinary status, to think that he was just an apprentice who could only tell lies.After all, he has not practiced it yet and does not know how difficult it is to implement it.
"Very good, very good," the magister sitting on the chair nodded, "I didn't expect that the problem that has troubled the night elves for many years was actually solved by a little apprentice like you. It seems that you do have a unique talent. talent."
Oculus was filled with joy to hear such praise from a powerful figure who was suspected of being a magister.
Valtroy, who had always maintained a respectful demeanor, looked at the other party secretly, with suspicion in his eyes, thinking about the other party's plan.
"Oculus, talents like you shouldn't be buried. Why not find another famous teacher to unleash your unique potential?" the man said again.
Valtroy suddenly understood. No wonder this man's clothing style did not look like a local. It turned out that he came here from a foreign country to poach people.Similar things happen one after another among the major magic research institutions in the Kaldorei Empire.
But...why does the other party look like he is specifically coming for Oculus?She couldn't help but wonder, her friend had always been an unknown apprentice, so how could he attract the attention of the outside world?
But these questions are not important. She knows that Oculus cannot leave, at least not until the plagiarism of academic achievements is dealt with.
In order to cover up the charges of academic plagiarism, his mentor Kuller Starwind could not let him go.Valtroy was even worried that the Starwind family would choose to kill and silence him. Once Oculus died, naturally no one would report Kule Starwind's crimes.
But Valtroy knows his friend too well. As long as the other party reveals his identity and makes some conditions, such as providing a favorable research environment, Oculus will readily agree. He may even get excited and discuss it with Kuller. ·Starwind left Suramar City before the master-disciple relationship was dissolved.
This is completely against the laws of the Kaldorei Empire. Doesn't it give Kule Starwind an excuse to act?
"Sir, what do you mean..." Oculus inquired blankly.
"Yes, I am extending an olive branch to you, Oculus. If you are willing to become my apprentice, I can teach you space magic that is far beyond the night elves for several generations. It is profound and mysterious, far beyond your imagination. limit."
The person on the seat said with a smile. As he spoke, he put down his left hand that was rubbing his chin.Under the moonlight, the slender fingers were so pale. For the night elves, this skin color was almost pathological and completely abnormal.
When Oculus heard this, a light of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.Valtroy's heart trembled. As they were thinking about it, no one noticed the other's unusual skin color.
She took two steps forward and hurriedly said before her friend could reply: "Sir, Oculus' 30-year apprenticeship has not yet ended. Unless approved by the instructor, such behavior is illegal."
"Why, are you worried that the plagiarist will abuse his aristocratic power to harm your friend?" The man on the chair smiled.
When her thoughts were revealed, Valtoil was stunned for a moment, trying her best to see the other person's expression clearly, but the hazy black shadow completely blocked her sight.Although she didn't know what the other party's attitude was towards this matter, she still nodded candidly, "Yes, sir."
Oculus on the side also came to his senses and calmed down.
"He's just a shameless and despicable person. Can't I solve this matter?" the man said, leaning forward slightly and appearing in the bright moonlight.
The moonlight illuminated the face that was completely different from that of the night elves, and the blue eyes were as bright as stars, as if they contained endless mysteries of the universe.The facial features are exquisite, the expression is peaceful, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, implying a hint of expectation.
After seeing each other's face clearly, the two of them were shocked and dumbfounded. It turned out to be...
"First... the prophet?"
Angmar smiled slightly, "It's me, hello. So what do you think? I really want to accept you as my apprentice. As for Kuller Starwind's academic plagiarism, don't worry, such a despicable villain will naturally not Succeed."
"When...of course..."
Oculus nodded like a fool. He never dreamed that he had been in the same room with the legendary prophet for so long, and that the other party would accept him as his apprentice!
No wonder he was so confident when he spoke. Not only Kule Starwind, but also the Starwind family, and even the Magister Council that ruled Suramar City, were no different from ants in his eyes... He had to prove it for himself and punish him. Cooler Starwind, is it just a matter of words?
Valtroy was startled, she heard the word "we".The Prophet seemed to include her.
Angmar seemed to see her doubts and said softly: "Valtroy, you also have unique talents and potential. I value you as much as I value Oculus. So, yes, I am also here invite you."
But... why?In shock, Valtroy couldn't help but wonder again. Oculus was okay, after all, he had developed unprecedented position stabilization technology. Why did the prophet like him?
She knew how talented she was, and she was indeed the best among her peers, but looking at the Kaldorei Empire, there were at least dozens, if not hundreds, of people similar to her. What was so special about her that she could catch the eye of a prophet?
This time, the prophet seemed to have insight into her thoughts and answered: "It was fate that guided me to find you. In the rest of your life, you will definitely join the wave of the world and play indispensable important roles... "
"...Valtroy, go back and talk to your mentor, Chief Arcanist Ms. Irene. I believe she is very happy to send you to me to study for a period of time in the name of academic exchange. It's getting late, I have to go now."
After saying that, Angmar stood up from his seat.In the process of getting up, his body dissociated into little bits of arcane energy, which dissipated into the air.This scene that overturned their inherent perceptions shocked the two people in the room again.
"Tomorrow night, I will wait for good news in the western suburbs."
Angmar's voice suddenly sounded in the room. This peaceful voice full of wisdom seemed to be far away, melodious, and echoed in the room for a long time.
It wasn't until it subsided completely that the two people, who were far from recovering from the shock, couldn't help but look at each other.
"Shall we go?" Oculus asked blankly.
Valtroy took a deep breath, and his obviously underdeveloped chest rose high, "Go, why not go? This is... a rare opportunity. Aren't you interested in the magic of the prophet?"
The two fell into silence immediately, each thinking.
After a long time, Oculus looked at his standard apprentice robe, which had been washed white and had been eroded by the power of space in years of space magic experiments. The fabric on the cuffs had begun to crystallize, and asked with some unconfidence:
"Do you think I need to buy a decent robe?"
Valtroy glanced at his friend, "More than that. I suggest you get another haircut... I'll see you at the market in an hour. I have to report to my mentor..."
"Ah."
……
At dusk the next day, outside the forest in the western suburbs, two figures walked together.
It was Ronin and Krasus who were deeply troubled by the sequelae.
Time Guardian Nozdormu wanted to send them back to the War of the Ancients, and originally pulled the two of them into the time portal. However, Angmar had to temporarily put them down because Angmar had arrived in advance of the War of the Ancients. The time point was also moved forward two years. This change caused the two to endure far more painful "torture" than expected.
However, under the care of high-ranking priestess Maiev, both of them have almost recovered. They can at least walk on the ground and occasionally take a walk in the forest.Ronin was basically fine, but Krasus still looked weak.
Luo Ning followed closely beside Krasus, always paying attention to the steps of his mentor and friend, so that if Krasus stumbled and fell, he could help him immediately.
It's really a shame that the extremely powerful Red Dragon Mage has ended up in such a miserable condition.Neither Ronin nor Krasus understood what caused this weakness.
Angmar had explained this phenomenon to the two earlier.
This weakness was caused by Crassus, the red dragon Cleostrasz, his peer in ancient times, Cleostrasz in his youth.
The phenomenon of homotopy involves profound time rules, but it can also be explained simply.As long as there is no existence beyond time, no matter whether you go to the future or go back to the past, once you encounter yourself at the same time, the phenomenon of homotopy will occur.
Both individuals will fall into incomparable torment and weakness due to the presence of the other.In the canon, when Krasus returns to ancient times, he cannot transform back into his dragon form.And his young counterpart is also unable to take human form.
Angmar's explanation is that the homotopic phenomenon is not serious to this extent, and perhaps the culprit is someone else.
But this explanation is really worrying.
The arrival of the two men may have been informed by the ancient gods.
Although the Ancient Gods had already begun the War of the Ancients in advance, they no longer dared to act rashly in the general environment of the Burning Legion's imminent invasion. They launched a war against the high-level Guardian Lai and his guardian forces, and also turned to a small-scale, low-intensity war. level, but you can still do some dirty and dirty things secretly.
Since Neltharion, the Earth Warden, had been corrupted, perhaps the Old Gods had instructed him to do something to Crassus' peer, the young Cleostrasz, to hinder the actions of several people.
In other words, the young Cleostrasz may be suffering from some kind of torture, and his pain was transmitted to Crassus through the homotopic phenomenon, causing him to become extremely weak.
Angmar was preparing to go over there to check on the situation. He promised that no matter what difficulties young Cleostraz encountered, he would lend a helping hand.This made Krasus feel at ease a lot.
Looking at Krasus walking to a clearing, Ronin asked worriedly: "Crassus, do you really want to do this?"
Crassus nodded: "I must try."
"I think you'd better seek Angmar's opinion." Luo Ning sighed. Unknowingly, he had regarded Angmar as his backbone.
After all, no one is more familiar with the environment of the ancient times than him. He made the plan to change the timeline, and he was the one who found and took care of him.
Ronin still can't convince himself that the young man who once followed Prince Kael'thas, was often bullied by Miss Lannathel, and was buried in piles of bills, has actually grown to this extent.
"It's just a transformation. There is no need to alarm Angmar. He is already busy enough." Krasus shook his head and took off his coat one by one.
Transformation is an ability possessed by all members of the five-color dragon clan, so that they can transform into humanoids and act more conveniently.
Originally, he didn't have to take off his clothes. He just cast a spell to ensure that the clothes would not be torn into pieces while returning to their original form.But he doubted that he, who was so weak, could still cast such a spell, even if it was extremely simple.
In a burst of painful roar, a shadow of a giant dragon appeared around Krasus. His body began to expand continuously, his hands were lengthened, and his back was arched. It seemed that a pair of dragon wings wanted to break through the skin on his back and stretch out. , in a few breaths, he was almost filling the shadow.
But seeing that the transformation was about to be completed, Krasus suddenly knelt down in pain, his body instantly returned to human form, and the shadow of the dragon disappeared.
"As expected..." Krasus gasped.
Luo Ning sighed helplessly and prepared to step forward to help him up.But inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a strange abnormality in the forest background, and he subconsciously turned his head to stare there.
When he saw clearly the old orc standing at the edge of the forest, bandaged all over and holding a cane, he couldn't help but stand on the spot.
One……
Orcs?
Ronin was looking at the old orc.
The old orc was also looking at Ronin.
Both sides had the same confusion and deep embankments in their eyes.If you want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Rise of the Blood Elves", follow "Youdu" on WeChat to chat about life and find friends~
