Chapter 49 Pretend to Be Yourself

Met Howe.

I have never seen such a luxury!

Not only Hao, but also a little bit.

The administrator was an old man who looked like he was dying. Regardless of his wrinkled face, he looked like a Shar Pei. Duke could clearly feel the arcane energy in the old man's body.

The level of strength judged by the system elf for the old man is also a 'red skull'! In other words, this old man who swallowed his saliva and seemed to choke him to death turned out to be a Boss-level existence whose strength far surpassed Duke?

Duke frowned.

Should it be said that Stormwind City is worthy of being the second most powerful holy land of human spells under Dalaran?

"Young man, I know that your talent is outstanding, but no matter how talented you are, it is impossible to master the entire ocean of magic. The magic here can be divided into protection, conjuration, prophecy, enchantment, plasticity, etc. There are nine major departments such as the energy department. Take the evocation department that you are most comfortable with, for example, evocation is the shaping of energy, and it is also divided into small departments such as flame, frost, and arcane."

"Uh, I know that."

"Then you know that there are so many schools, but you still want to practice them all? Do you know that even if you can learn all the second-level spells that earth mages can learn, learning so many spells will at least make your beard grow?" An inch more!"

"Where is it so exaggerated!" Duke looked indifferent to level 2 magic, kept saying that magic is actually easy to learn, and even said that he was a genius with ninth-level aptitude.

In fact, it was to cover up that he had the system to instantly learn magic.

While talking, in order to prove that what he said was not a lie, Duke also randomly picked out a level 2 magic [Ice Armor] to demonstrate to the old man.

Instantly connected to the ice elemental world, a large amount of cold energy was mobilized from the void and condensed on Duke's body. Cold white light gushed out from the arm, quickly covering Duke's arms at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only the arms, legs, and body, but also a cold white streamer flashed on the surface. White light covered Duke's body and limbs in a streamlined shape.

If it is an ordinary mage, it is almost impossible to learn the magic formula the moment he comes into contact with it. Even if mage Xiri is required to come into contact with a level 2 spell that he has never seen before, and to learn and use it on the spot, not everyone can do it.

The ice armor of other houses can have an armor shape, which can cover the vital points of the mage.

What about Duke?

A mere ice armor spell was unexpectedly created by him.

The king's plate armor suit, oh, it's the full-body armor suit of the Stormwind Guards, which appeared in front of the old man impressively.

Layered shoulder armor, bright breastplate, solid waist skirt... It's good to be able to create these with ice armor.

Do you know what Duke made?

He even made a chain armor made of small iron rings interlocking to protect the upper arm. As for the majestic and mighty lion head carvings on the belt and gauntlets, naturally they did not take them off.

Except for the lack of color, and the material it is made of is ice, this is just like the standard configuration of a set of Stormwind soldiers!

When the old man saw it, he immediately had no doubts about Duke's talent and ability.

There is only shock...and resentment.

Is magic so easy to practice?

If it were really that easy to practice, the Royal School of Magic in Stormwind would not need to send a large number of people from all over the country, or even the seven human kingdoms, to audition for apprentices every year. The number of people who take part in the test every year ranges from tens of thousands to thousands of teenagers. It is only a few dozen people who can really be found to have the qualifications for spells.

Among these dozens of people, most of them were not qualified enough, and they were reluctantly recruited by the Magic Academy because they had the mentality of finding some apprentices to help them even if they could not be trained as formal mages.

With time, you can become an official land mage before the age of 40, and then add to the mage group to become a combat force.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to see apprentices in their forties or fifties in the magic academy. So at Duke's age, not to mention among formal mages, even among apprentices, he was already extremely young.

When Duke gave up becoming Medivh's disciple, the old man still felt resentful, and a good seedling was ruined like this.

But how long has it been?

One month.

In just one month, Duke's strength has been promoted from the first-class earth mage to the fifth-class.

For other mages, with such a fast progress, the magic circuit has long been disordered, or over-development has caused the circuit to be damaged and reduce the potential.

What about Duke?

One could clearly feel the power of the elements circulating in Duke's body slowly and orderly. The extremely gentle elements hide unimaginable violence. As long as Duke is willing, these elements can be transformed into the most violent flame or frost at any time, attacking Duke's enemies.

It's only one month!

A month is enough?

Even if Duke had been accepted by Medivh as a core disciple to practice from the very beginning, he would not be able to make such terrifying and solid progress in a month.

Even for the Guardian Medivh who was hailed as having the strongest talent, his initial progress speed was nothing more than that. You know, when Medivh was a child, he had been carefully guided by his mother Aegwynn, the strongest mage in Azeroth at that time!

And the old man himself has been practicing for a full year and a half from the first-class earth master to the fifth-class.

This is still in the Kingdom of Stormwind, the second mage power of mankind after Dalaran.

For those wandering mages in small places who cannot receive orthodox magic education, if they rely on their own research and study, who can make this progress within five years is already a big event worthy of celebration for the whole town

Facing Duke, the old man was completely speechless.

It wasn't just a shock to him that a month had progressed so fast and the foundation was still so solid.

And there's more—strike!

Comparing people to people, it makes people mad!

Is the ninth-class talent really so terrifying and astonishing?

The old man's heart was hit hard.

Glancing again at Duke who took it for granted and didn't show any complacency, the old man muttered to himself: Even if this kid is placed among the high elves, he will still be a monster-level guy.

Duke had no time to care about the old man's thoughts.

He was stunned by the list of spells from the Royal Academy of Spells.

He really couldn't figure out whether it was because in the original game, the mage's spells were deliberately reduced and turned into a pure attack and field control type of spell class, or there were so many spells in Azeroth.

Conjuration [Grease], [Hidden Mist]...

[Appraisal] of the prophecy department...

Enchanting [Hypnotism]...

When the old man brought a large pile of single spell books, which were as high as a hill, and showed a mocking expression, Duke really felt his scalp tingling.

But since the big talk has been released, it must be learned!

I pretended to be forceful, and I had to pretend to the end with tears in my eyes.
