Chapter 44 Mage District

Any warrior is the wealth of the kingdom. It is not easy to produce warriors from civilians. Some require hard training, while others require awakening talents...

Most melee professions, as long as they have achieved physical fitness and talent, can always be officially transferred after long and arduous training; priests need to be very pious to strengthen their spiritual strength, communicate with the holy light, and have a considerable chance of transferring.

But for example, if a mage does not have the innate talent, you can't even think of a mage who changes his job. Elemental affinity, magic control, and powerful mental power, these three talents are indispensable... The threshold is too high, resulting in an extremely low proportion of birth.

The chance of birth mentioned here refers specifically to humans... If you are talking about dwarves, don’t worry, there is absolutely no mage, they don’t have this talent at all!

To be honest, Azeroth Continent is not a fertile ground for cultivating mages. The most important one is that the concentration of elements it is active in the atmosphere is not high... This is also the fundamental reason why the probability of mages being born in humans is very small. It is difficult to even the first step of absorbing elements, let alone casting magic.

But on the continent, an extremely high magic civilization was once born, that is...a high elves!

The ancient high elves absorbed elements too slowly from the atmosphere. The ancient high elves improved their magic power by absorbing the sun well. There was the Sun Well, which was almost endless magic power, which brought more advanced magic civilization to this civilized society... and also brought them the doomsday! Under various reasons, the Sun Well exploded. The high elves who had long been accustomed to relying on the Sun Well to store magic power were all helpless. They could no longer easily absorb the meager elemental power from the atmosphere, just like a second-generation ancestor who was used to eating a big meal, and could not get used to eating a bun of steamed buns a day... They all became addicts, addicts who were extremely eager for magic elements.

After the explosion of the Sunwell, the elves also divided into corresponding factions. The night elves are controlled by the druid faction, and the demigod (Eternal Life) Cenarius personally taught disciples among the night elves. His proud disciple Malfurion Storm was able to control most of the night elves with powerful natural power. With the help of his command, all the night elves experienced them personally, they were unwilling to fall into addicts and no longer practice magic... This is the origin of the night elves not producing mages.

Unlike the night elves, the surviving high elves who could not control their demon addiction, under the leadership of Prince Kelthas, changed their name to the Blood Elves and joined the tribe. They were more rational than their predecessors. Although they sometimes could not control their demon addiction, they were trying to find other ways to break their dependence on the demon addiction... This is why the tribe has the highest mage combat power, that is, the blood elf mage army.

Humans do not have the unique and complete magic system like the blood elves, nor do they have the determination toward magic as their allies, the night elves, but they have their own characteristics... strong learning ability and natural creativity.

The human mage represented by the great mage Gianna was born in this context... Only when they had a big meal would they cherish that little steamed bun. The human mage who had never used the Sun Well to obtain magic took the few elements in the atmosphere for granted, and there would be no complaints or any addiction to magic. With their genius creativity, they could use magic that they had few reserves on the blade...

For example, the signature blizzard magic was first created by humans. If the high elves created this magic, they would definitely use the magic of the Sunwell to create a snowy world. But humans would not do this because they do not have such a luxury. So, they creatively thought of using the ice element resonance method, only some ice elements stored by the mage themselves are needed to guide the resonance of the ice elements between the world, so as to achieve the blizzard magic. Even the high elves mages are dumbfounded by a large spell...

This is the genius creativity of human beings, which is completely different from the brainless use of high elves. But obviously, this requires extremely high talent...

Therefore, on the current blood elves, mages only represent one profession. But on the human side, they are undoubtedly masters... On the one hand, they respect the strength of this profession, and on the other hand, they respect the talent of this profession.

Aeger really returned to the Oak Tavern, found the boss, and apologized sincerely, saying that he forgot to pay the bill because of his anger, and paid off the bill of 1 silver and 50 copper, and left amid the boss' praise of no secret...

He passed by the sales office again, but he still didn't go in. Ordinary war vocationals may not have a good life, and I'm afraid there is no remaining money to buy a real estate in Stormwind City? I'm afraid I may not have a good face when I go in. I'd better wait until I get the junior mage certification?

Aige has great resentment about owning a good property in a big city... You know! In nanjing, if you don't want to get a house in the city without 2 million, the average price is more than 15,000 yuan? Then you can only get a Qiaobei. The new nanjing highest price school district house is known as 300,000 yuan per square meter, and a 100-square-meter 3 bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, it costs 30 million yuan... Do you dare to believe this?

The high-ranking official wanted to understand the general housing prices first, and when he had financial resources, he could consider buying a set here. If possible, he even wanted to own one or several medium-sized stores in the trade zone. If he had nothing to do, he would let his wife collect the store rent and live... But now it's just an idea, so let's take action in the future?

...

Passing through the lively trade zone, Eiger came to the exclusive mage zone west of Stormwind City. It was just two worlds from the hustle and bustle I experienced before. It was quiet here... so quiet!

There are only magic apprentices in groups of three or three on the road. There are almost no one to care about magic item stores, and there are few people here!

But... there are no ordinary civilians who dare to enter here casually. Iger remembered that when he came over before, he passed through a small bridge. When he crossed the other end of the bridge, he felt that his body was blocked by a thin film. After the magic power in his body was naturally activated, the membrane suddenly disappeared. So Iger was able to pass through smoothly, remembering that the two elite swordsman guards just looked at him and let it go without saying a word...

Now that I think about it, the eldest young master doesn't believe it... In his opinion, it must be a barrier that prevents ordinary people from entering, and only mages or warriors can pass. This is the fundamental reason why there are so few people in the mage area.

In fact, although his inferences are roughly the same, the function of that barrier is completely different from what he thought. Although most of the mage areas are mages, civilians without magic power can still be allowed to enter. After all, no matter how a master of the mage is, he still has to be a worldly fireworks, right? Do you require every cook and the one who delivers food to be a mage?

The real purpose of this barrier is to prevent the sound from coming from outside, it is a soundproof barrier, creating a relatively quiet and bad realm for the mage area adjacent to the trade zone. There are many mages living here, and there are a large number of magic apprentices. Whether studying magic or learning magic, they need not be disturbed by the outside world. In addition, although mages are very careful when doing magic experiments, accidents are inevitable. This barrier can also prevent inexplicable explosions, which scare ordinary civilians...

But in fact, it has a third purpose, which is identity recognition. Whenever a person passes through the barrier, the mage who arranges the barrier can roughly obtain the information they want. It is not as detailed as imagined, but at least it is hostile, and whether the enemy can still be judged...

You know, the mage area is not small, but the real guard is only the two elite soldiers of Stormwind City that Eiger had seen before, and they were still used as a storefront. As long as the barrier is not alerted, they can even save interrogation.

...

"This... can I ask, where should I go to perform mage certification?"

The architectural style of the houses here is really weird, and it is completely inconsistent with the regular styles of several other districts. Other districts have obviously been urban planning, with wide and lateral roads and stable structures, but what do you say here?

Too casual...

This is Eiger's first impression!

It must have not been planned, otherwise it would not be so chaotic! There seems to be no connection between various buildings. One in the east and the other in the west, it seems that each has a piece of land and it is built at will. The styles of the two adjacent buildings are also very different and have no connection. Especially those mage towers of different sizes...

If the messy buildings here have nothing to do with these wizard towers of different sizes, they wouldn't believe it if they killed the great officials.

Mage Tower! What a mysterious thing? Only mages at the Great Magician level (levels 60-69) or above are qualified to build. They can plan their space at will in this completely own Mage Tower. Most Mage Towers must have at least a few functions:

1. Defense. The mage tower must ensure the safety of the mage inside, and the materials used are relatively strong, making it difficult for the enemy to break from the outside...

2. Early warning. The mage tower must be able to perceive some of the surrounding areas and serve the purpose of pre-warning.

3. It is convenient for magic research and magic practice. The owner can study magic with confidence here, which is the most important function of the mage tower. Of course, mages qualified to establish the mage tower are qualified to have a considerable number of magic apprentices, so they have to plan a space for practicing magic for them.

4. Attack power. This is an optional function of the mage tower. In addition to having defense power, some mage towers also require considerable attack power. When a mage tower with mage standing in a vital position, it will definitely be an enemy's nightmare...
