Chapter 51 The Secret of the Codex

Duke was taken aback.

The breath that came out of his mouth and nose was full of surprise.

The old man looked at Duke, his seemingly old and cloudy eyes shone with wisdom. The furnishings in the room are very simple, soft beige walls, two comfortable armchairs, a low coffee table, that's all, it's so simple that it's impossible to find anything other than the other party to divert your attention force.

After being surprised for a short time, Duke looked squarely at the old mage who gave him a chance and gave him a new start in the world of Azeroth.

It was a very complicated look, with the disappointment of self-abandonment and the hope of pinning on others.

On the old man's face, Duke seemed to see the last wish of an old man who was obsessed with magic and struggled for magic all his life but had no great achievements. Duke couldn't bear to refuse the expectation of this old man who was at the end of his life, and finally nodded.

"If you agree, I will call you 'teacher' from now on."

The old man Norton seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body was shaken, as if his ears were not working well, and he had auditory hallucinations, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it—what? That arrogant boy who doesn't even look down on Medivh, the world's strongest mage, actually calls me teacher?

Happiness came so suddenly, the old man couldn't believe it.

"Uh, Duke, that...I did hope to be your teacher...but Medivh...that...I, actually..." The old man was a little incoherent.

Duke stepped forward and grabbed old man Norton's hand: "Don't underestimate yourself. If Northshire Abbey hadn't had your suggestion, I might have been beaten to death by that fellow Brando. As for my refusal to be Medivh's disciple , not simply because of ambition, but because of deep reasons, and you will understand my difficulties in the future."

The old man's mouth was wriggling, and his eye sockets became moist. After all, the old man did not shed tears, but sighed: "Please forgive me, an old man who knows how to cast spells but has no courage. I really have the courage to be your teacher." I'm ashamed. To be your teacher, I should use my body to be your safe haven. At that moment, I didn't stand up, and I knew that I had lost the chance to be your teacher forever. However, I will be honored , to be your official guide into the palace of magic."

Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, Duke could only nod.

Teacher and guide, this is not the same concept. But that's all there is to it.

The old man Norton immediately put on the appearance of a strict teacher. He took out the [High Elf Mage Apprentice Handbook] in one hand, and took out a translation written by himself.

"I have carefully studied this [Introductory Handbook] for a long time, and I found that for thousands of years, human beings' research in the field of magic has actually taken a long way."

"Detour?"

"Yes! Traditional magic training is nothing more than giving a large amount of magic knowledge to a qualified child, and then letting him communicate with other worlds such as the elemental world with magical energy, and then guide the magical energy into his body through meditation. Transform yourself, and then form a magic circuit. Then practice day after day to make the magic circuit thicker and stronger."

Having said that, the old man pointed to the elven writing on the handbook, and suddenly spat: "This is the safest way of cultivation. That's right. Thousands of years ago, when humans had no contact with magic, this method was indeed the safest and safest way of cultivation." .but the cunning elf spared it."

"Save a hand?" Duke pricked up his ears.

"Yes! Keep a hand! Do you know why the high elves are naturally better at magic than humans?"

Duke frowned: "Racial talent?"

"Of course there is this factor, but there is another reason - Sunwell!"

Duke immediately realized something: "You mean..."

"Yes! In fact, for good seedlings with excellent physical fitness, the basics of magic can be completed quickly. No, even apprentices with average physical fitness can easily be promoted to the level of Morning Star Mage. The premise is that they need a mana with high concentrated magic power Source, transforming one's own body day and night, and it must be the body of a child whose body is still developing."

Duke has a big head, where can he find a sun well? That thing, the high elf, is tightly gripped, and whoever moves will fight desperately. He doesn't think he has such a great ability to go to Quel'Thalas to get the Sun King.

At this time, the old man Norton patted Duke on the shoulder: "I bet, even the person who gave you this [Apprentice's Handbook] didn't realize what an amazing treasure house he gave you!"

Duke added in his mind: It's 'she', not 'he'.

"The first 49 pages are essentially the same as the human mage apprentice training manual. At most, they are more refined. But the last page..." The old man opened the last page of the handbook. Duke did not speak Elvish. It didn't prevent him from seeing that the elf language written on it suddenly became scrawled, which was completely different from the fair and generous handwriting in front, and seemed very casual.

The old man also opened Duke's translation. Duke discovered that the last page had not been translated.

"Do you know why I didn't translate?"

Duke shook his head.

"Because the elf language on this page is nonsense." The old man squinted his eyes and laughed: "It's like you created a pearl course out of thin air. I was also suddenly inspired, this is not a language at all, but a special magic circuit diagram."

The old man suddenly became excited: "Haha! It happened that I, an arcane expert, discovered the secret above. This is a special magic circuit design that can absorb the surrounding arcane energy into the body like a whirlpool!"

"This..." Duke was surprised.

"And this is completely different from the magic circuit training method commonly used by elves. It has a more extensive way to expand the magic circuit for absorbing arcane energy. I don't know why the Sun King hinted that Prince Kael'thas has cultivated like this But this is tantamount to helping you, if you practice according to this method, you can quickly increase and strengthen your magic circuit even if you don’t need the Sunwell.”

As soon as the old man Norton said, Duke immediately understood why. According to the historical progress in the game, in the not-too-distant future, Quel'Thalas will fall, and all the remaining high elves will fall into a strong addiction to arcane energy and cannot extricate themselves.

As the king of the high elves, Sun King Anasterian certainly knows how bad the Sunwell is for elves. So he sent Kael'thas to study in Dalaran, which is also a disguised form to give Kael'thas more hope and a broader future.

It's just that the Sun King didn't expect that his little selfishness, which he thought was impossible to be discovered, would flow into Aurelia's hands and then be given to Duke.

Duke suddenly sighed, Aurelia is really his noble lady!
