Chapter 12: Why Are You Alive?
"The High Elf Mage's Apprentice's Introductory Codex. It's better than the textbooks of your human spell sanctuary, Dalaran. The only problem is that it's written in High Elf, and you'll need to find someone or learn High Elf to translate it yourself. ”
It is clearly said that it is an introductory elementary textbook for other apprentices, which is not a leak at all. After all, all the spells of humans in the world of Azeroth were taught by the High Elves.
However, even if it is equivalent to the level of weeds on the side of the road, it is still a treasure in the human kingdom!
Look at the prompt in the system, "You have obtained the [High Elf Mage Apprentice Primer Codex], which is expected to greatly improve your spell level." Duke cried with joy.
Well, who told me that I'm a rookie now!Aurelia, I'll save myself from being bribed by you!
"Uh, thanks. ”
"Hey, hey, and here's for you. Aurelia handed over an emerald green leaf with strange energy, "Blowing leaves, right? Remember, it has to be a 'fun thing' to call me. And also...... If you haven't looked for me for too long, I'll come to you too. ”
"Poof!" Duke squirted.
Dare to love this guy is on me!
I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.
With that, Aurelia flashed, coming and going like the wind, and Duke didn't even see how she went. There was a flicker in front of him, and no one was gone.
Duke rubbed his eyebrows: "Hell, it seems that the women of the Windranger family, except when they are on duty, are quite willful guys!"
It was obviously a self-talk, but who knew that Aurelia suddenly heard a sentence from the depths of the forest: "I heard it!"
"Ahem-" Duke choked on his own saliva: "Ahem, ahem!"
I can't beat it, I can't catch it up, and I'm treated as a guinea pig to observe, which ...... This must be a bad fate, right?
Alright, Aurelia let her go.
Then things went back to the way they were, and looking at the thief's charred corpse, which was only half of his body left, Duke felt like throwing up.
I didn't think it just now, but when everything calmed down, there was a sudden feeling of nausea, and I couldn't suppress it. I vomited when I wanted to, and Duke really vomited.
"Wow-" Duke spat out.
College cattle or something, it's purely a bit of cultural cattle. Of the ten college animals, nine have never even killed chickens, let alone seen any bloody scenes.
Fortunately, it was night, his vision was blurred, and his body was charred black, otherwise Duke would have had nightmares for a long time afterward.
The corpse had to be disposed of, otherwise when the ranger, woodcutter, hunter or something saw a corpse charred by the flames, it would be easy to think of him Duke. After all, in the human realm, the Fa Ye is still a rare commodity.
At this moment, the fish-man in the distance seemed to be also alarmed, and the sound of Suosuo's footsteps could be heard in the distance. Although there is a high chance that the corpse will be eaten by the fish-people, Duke does not dare to gamble.
Before the fish-man arrived, Duke quickly searched for the half-cut corpse that smelled of disgusting meat, found dozens of silver coins, and then threw the corpse into the river, Duke immediately turned around and left.
If the calculation is not correct, the corpse of the thief will rush down the river to the territory of the fishman. Even if they can't rush away, the fish-people will smell in the water and look for the past.
The fish-people of the world of Azeroth are not good goods, and it would be a big mistake to think of them as mermaids or something. Fish-people are monsters with swollen flesh on the upper body, a fish-shaped body the size of a water tank, and humanoid limbs.
These brutal creatures with low IQ are another example of how much you can't kill.
Following the lights of the North County Abbey on the hill in the distance, Duke walked in the darkness of the night, and the sound of human bodies being chewed by carnivores was heard in the wind blowing in his ears, which made Duke shudder and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
After about forty minutes, Duke finally escaped from the forest.
The North County Monastery is just a human settlement, not a big town, so in terms of defense, there is only an ordinary wooden fence two meters high, and there are not even sharp objects on the fence. For a college animal who often climbs over the wall to avoid the dormitory curfew, this is definitely a small meaning. Seeing that there was no one around, Duke climbed up with a simple two-handed support.
Climbing over the fence, Duke groped his way back to his hotel. Unbeknownst to Duke, just as Duke had climbed over the walls, a figure in full-body armor appeared in a dark corner near the fence.
Vice Captain Viri!
"God bless the Storm Kingdom, finally didn't let Duke be killed. When Duke was taken by the thief and leaped over the fence, Duke saw it from afar, but he wasn't sure. He couldn't just use a fleeting figure to mobilize the guards to brave the night into the forest to search for Duke on a large scale. He couldn't leave his post and go to the hotel to see if Duke was still there.
Because he knew that if Brando's people were going to do it, then it would be too late.
Nervous and unable to forgive himself, in this way, Vice Captain Viri spent more than an hour in the condemnation of conscience. Now seeing that Duke, who was supposed to be killed, sneaked over the fence and came back as if he was fine, for some reason, Verry breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming Duke's disappearance, Verry silently stepped out and gently wiped away all traces of Duke climbing over the fence, such as footprints and so on.
When he returned to the hotel, he saw that nothing had changed in the room, and Duke was so tired, it was a triple fatigue from body, spirit, and soul, and Duke fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, while having breakfast on the first floor of the inn, Duke saw two more young men beside Old Master Norton, who looked like they were also mage's apprentices.
When the old man saw Duke in high spirits, his wrinkled face was so wrinkled that he smiled so much that he pointed to a burly male apprentice who was as tall as one meter nine: "His name is Daniel, and he is a qualified person from the East Valley Lumberyard, with a third-class qualification." ”
It's a big boy, I feel like he's 14 or 15 years old at most, and it's certainly not 16 years old. There was a clear immaturity and simplicity on his face, and he was wearing a very inappropriate shirt: "Hello, Mr. Marcus. I'm Daniel, the son of a lumberyard owner, and I'm glad to be a contemporary. ”
Duke smiled indifferently and shook his hand, "Hello, Daniel." ”
Without waiting for Old Man Norton to introduce her, another girl had already stood up and seemed a little impatient to shake Duke's hand: "I...... I...... I am Itana, the daughter of the clerk of the Westspring Fortress in the Elwyn Forest...... Fourth-class qualification. Duke Marcus, nice to meet you. ”
"Me too, Itana. ”
Just as Duke was about to speak further with the two apprentices, a scream came from behind him—Sir Brando's scream: "Why are you still alive!?"
