Chapter 30: Picking up a marshal

No one knew what Duke had gotten into Old Master Norton's hands, but soon, half of the Academy's mages knew that Old Man Norton had gotten his hands on a High Elf Mage's Apprentice Codex from the King of Quel'Salas, and that it had been used by Kael'thas* Sunstrider.

This gave everyone more ideas about Duke's origins.

Duke didn't care so much, he spent the night in the Wizardry's guest house. Miraculously, that very night, he received a letter from Aurelia.

This is a letter that is very characteristic of the Windranger, as the letter was sent by a lark. A note was tied to the little long leg, which was written in the delicate lingua franca of mankind:

"Congratulations! ”

Duke scratched his head, he couldn't understand why, for Mao, the lark could do the work of a carrier pigeon, and would come and peck at his window in the middle of the night to wake him up.

"Is this lark a good man?" Duke muttered to himself.

I don't know when or where Aurelia received his news, but this strange High Elf Ranger just knew, and sent a kind wish.

Looking at the delicate words, Duke felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

"Looks like I'm really hugging Aurelia's golden thigh!" Having said that, Duke was also happy to have a good relationship with Aurelia, so he quickly replied with the help of the system.

"Thank you for your congratulations, and I think we'll have a chance to meet in a few years. After writing and reading the note three times to make sure it was correct, Duke slipped the note into the small tube on the lark's lap: "Go, go back to your master." ”

After doing this, Duke fell asleep beautifully. Unbeknownst to him, a few hours later, Aurelia had received a reply from him, and that something had happened to him.

In a vast wood, the first rays of the morning light were shining onto the ground through the thick foliage, and Aurelia, who had just woken up from the tree, looked at the lark with a strange look.

"Twitter......" The lark reported to Windranger in a tactful voice.

"What? He said you're a sperm...... This kid is quite discerning. ”

"Twitterβ€”"

"What? that ruffian boy still wants to hold my thigh?!" Aurelia's eyes widened in disbelief. Who knew that at this time, the lark would still beat his 'beautiful legs' with his wings!

Aurelia couldn't help but look at her long legs, which were perfect without a trace of fat, and in the next moment, a pretty face turned red for no reason. Because she thought of the time when Duke's imp had set his eyes on her peaks several times.

He gritted his teeth hatefully: "That little ruffian, he really never hides his thoughts! If he has the opportunity, he must teach him a good lesson on how to respect his elders!"

Inexplicably, at the same time, Duke sneezed.

"Hello, what the hell, do I have a cold?" Duke didn't know yet, because his soliloquy had caused him to be by the lark girl.

After washing, Duke donned a blue and white gold-trimmed mage robe, a small gift from Old Master Norton. According to Old Man Norton, if he wore that burlap shirt and mage's badge to go out on the streets of Stormwind, it would be a disgrace to all the mages.

After getting dressed neatly, looking at himself in the large mirror in the room, Duke suddenly felt that he was really relying on clothes. Duke, who was originally a college animal, put on a set of mage robes, although he felt that it was a burden, but he looked like he had a strong bookish flavor, and he really had an elegant temperament.

I already had a plan in my mind, and when I was about to implement it, as soon as I opened the door, Duke was stunned.

In the welcome room outside the doorway, he saw three Stormwind soldiers standing as straight as javelins.

The last two were heavily armed guards, and the heroic middle-aged knight in the middle was dressed in a ceremonial gown, with a blue pattern on a white background, and a golden epaulette like a sword spike on his shoulder. His brown hair was so neatly combed that not even an ant could climb up.

The knight struck his left chest with his right fist and saluted: "Hello, Your Excellency Duke Marcus Earth Mage. I'm GarcΓ­a Roddy, commander of the 3rd Regiment of the Stormwind garrison, and I bring greetings from Stormwind Commander Anduin Lothar. ”

Lothar looking for me?

Duke said politely, "Hello, I'm Duke, may I ask Commander Lothar what is the matter with me?"

"That's right, His Majesty the great King of Ryan and Commander Lothar are delighted to learn that you have become the second-youngest official mage in the history of the Stormwind Kingdom and are willing to join the kingdom's mage corps. So let me bring greetings from His Majesty King Lane and Commander Lothar. ”

Duke nodded: "Well, thank them for their concern, thank them for me." ”

Garcia smiled and raised his hand, and suddenly a group of attendants rushed in outside the reception room.

"This is a letter of appointment from the official mages of the mage corps personally signed by His Majesty, and every autumn there is a welcome ceremony for the official mage corps members to join under the auspices of His Majesty. ”

"This is your Majesty's condolence money for you - 100 gold arasso. ”

"I heard that His Excellency Marcus is from a pioneer colony outside the Elwyn Forest, so Your Majesty hereby rewards you with a house. And you have two servants, and if you are not satisfied with the servants, you can also tell me that I am authorized to meet your needs to the fullest extent. ”

It is true that King Lane is a wise man, and he knows very well the value of talent. For a genius young mage from a civilian background, he definitely paid enough attention to it.

Seeing the undisguised envy in Garcia's eyes, Duke immediately knew that even for a person who had just become a full-fledged mage, it was a reward above the level.

In the eyes of Duke, who is most short of money, this is tantamount to timely rain.

For the promotion of Duke's next plan, it is equivalent to the role of the first pot of gold.

"Thank you again for your reward. Looking through the list handed over by Garcia, Duke suddenly found a stack of lists: "This is ......"

Garcia hurriedly explained: "The official mages are all important talents in the kingdom. Every mage should be adequately protected when he goes out. So these are the follower candidates that Lord Lothar has carefully selected for you. Each of them is absolutely loyal to the kingdom and is quite skilled in combat. Depending on your rank as Lord Marcus, you can choose up to two Knight Candidates as your exclusive followers. ”

Duke couldn't help but laugh.

As a PK madman in the game, he really never thought that the mage who fought so ferociously would also need to be guarded one day.

Now that he has crossed over, he has also followed the customs.

Flipping through it, a name made Duke's heart skip a beat.

"Reginald Windsor!"
