Chapter 25: Requesting a Promotion
If Duke was still a little confused before Medivan appeared, then Duke has changed dramatically at this moment.
Perhaps it was because of the fact that he was forced to a dead end by Madison, who was possessed by Sargeras, that Duke suddenly became so clear-minded.
Now that Medivin was shot and possessed by Sargeras as he did in the pre-time game, Duke doesn't expect anything good to happen next, based on the urine nature of Azeroth's history.
Lordaeron, Dalaran, Alterac, Kurtiras, Gilnes, Fort Riptide and Stormwind, the seven largest kingdoms in the world, except for the island nation of Kurtilas, which is far away from the mainland, the remaining six kingdoms will be beaten to scum one by one in the following time, either destroyed by orcs or Scourge legions.
The only human kingdom that can continue to destroy and rise again is Stormwind!
That is also the last hope of mankind!
As a human, Duke is incredibly certain that his own future is in Stormwind. Thinking of the next catastrophe in Stormwind and even in the entire Stormwind Kingdom, Duke knew what he had to do - first of all, he had to gather strength, which had to be strong enough to affect the Dark Gate event.
Now, there is no chance of winning against Sargeras head-on, even if he only has a soul left, it is a super boss who has mastered the power of Medivan as a guardian.
As an outsider, Duke knew very well that no one would believe him in whatever he said. On the other hand, the more you talk, the faster you die.
However, Medivan, who surrendered to the control of Sargeras, is dead, and in the face of this kind of big boss who is extremely good at playing with souls, he is really restless to die.
Duke is out of the way, really out of the way.
On the surface, Duke is challenging authority, but in fact he is playing a trick on Sargeras, as long as he continues to maintain Medivan's identity, as long as he does not unmask this hypocrisy for a day, he must treat Duke openly, and Duke is still a half-grown child.
Medivan raised his right hand, he snapped his fingers, and the sound in the hall seemed to be evacuated in an instant, and the people opened their mouths wide and raised their arms flat, the expressions on their faces were still excited, but they could no longer utter half a note.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Stormwind Royal Spell Association, I just want to ask, what about your demeanor? What about your elegance as a nobleman? Is it wrong for a half-year-old child to tell his great dreams, and is it guilty of making things so serious?"
Why was everyone so excited just now? It's not that this bastard Sargeras secretly used a demonic trick similar to [Rage Aura].
But now, like a wise man and a great man, Sargeras is a righteous and strict man, and he seriously advises all the mages who make radical remarks.
Seeing this scene, Duke wanted to vomit.
Duke was silent, looking at 'Medivan' with stubborn eyes!
Sargeras smiled, and he walked over as if to gently pat Duke on the shoulder. However, as if afraid of being infected by the plague, Duke dodged back.
"Huh...... It seems that you have a deep prejudice against me. ”
"You could have stopped them in the morning. Duke was telling the truth.
There was a slight embarrassment on Madiwen's face: "I'm sorry, I'm stunned for a moment. ”
Duke was still staring at 'Medivan'.
"Well, this is indeed a faux pas for the Royal Spell Academy of Stormwind City, Duke, your dream is actually not too much. The doors of me and the Royal Family Magic Academy are still open for you. As a matter of apology, you can choose any mage in the academy to be your master, and I guarantee in the name of the dean that no mentor will reject you. As long as you join our academy, you can get a 20% discount on all materials and spell formulas in exchange. ”
Medivan's voice fell, and the audience was in an uproar.
What a privilege!
It's a pity that Duke knows that Sargeras's words are almost a fart.
He Duke is not even the strongest mage, Medivan, who else dares to be his Duke's teacher? Isn't that a slap in the face? Even if Duke forcibly apprentices, who would dare to really teach Duke his true talents?
At this moment, even the old man Norton, who had the best relationship with Duke, was afraid that Duke would look at him, so he quietly took two steps back, and hid behind the crowd with his head down.
The only thing that works is that eightfold.
That is, of course, if Duke becomes a part of the Academy.
A smile tugged at the corners of Duke's mouth, in fact, at this moment, he had a second choice - to abandon Stormwind City and throw himself into the arms of the mage holy land Dalaran. Perhaps, this will allow him to temporarily leave the center of this worldwide storm, but it will also deprive him of a very important opportunity to rise.
"Well, as long as I can refer to the materials in the library according to your rules, I agree to join the Royal Spell Academy of Stormwind City. As for the mentors...... I don't think anyone would want to be my guru, so forget it. ”
The moment he finished speaking, Duke could fully imagine what would happen next.
Sure enough, in the next second, there was an uproar all around!
Arrogant!
An apprentice who not only claims to surpass the world's strongest mage, Medivan, but also openly declares that he doesn't need a mentor?
But when everyone saw Medivan's downward gesture, no one dared to say a word. However, throwing the worst evaluation on Duke's head is absolutely indispensable.
Medivan looked a little embarrassed on his face: "That's right, our public library here is open to all members. But the number of magic books allowed to be read and the level of each level are different for you as an apprentice. There aren't many books for you to read, and they usually start with the [Apprentice's Codex] provided to you by your mentor......"
Duke took two steps forward and asked proudly, "Excuse me, what are the criteria for a formal mage?"
Without the need for Medivan to speak, Medivan's disciple Khadgar preemptively replied: "Under the witness of the three official mages, without the help of any magic items, you can be recognized as a beginner mage." ”
At this time, Khadgar was very, very young, probably about the same as Duke at this moment, that is, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a clear immaturity on his face. The mustache on the lips, which was later known to everyone, now has only a vague silhouette.
With short black hair and a fairly fair face, he is no different from ordinary Stormwind teenagers except that he is not like a peasant child.
Khadgar was sent by his family to Dalaran at the age of six to learn all kinds of magic, and only recently became a disciple of Medivan. Even with such a brilliant talent, Khadgar was still not a beginner mage.
At this moment, Duke's clear voice shocked the audience.
"Then I, Duke Marcus, hereby request the Beginner Mage exam. ”
