Casting spells

Due to magic, the daily water for all residences in Dalaran comes from a pipe directly connected to the water elemental plane, so no matter whether it is a bath or a fountain, the water is constantly changing, so you don’t have to worry about whether the water is clean or not. question.

Just as he was enjoying the comfort brought by the enlarged pores, Jenny, who had been going back and forth, came in with a plate of steaming food, and stammered, "First... sir, you must be hungry, this is my Dinner for you."

"Thank you, let's put it here." Zhang Cheng pointed to the table next to the bathtub.

Known for their extravagance and waste, Dalaran mages have always had the habit of eating while taking a bath, so a special place for food and drinks is often reserved during the construction process.

"Please take it easy. I... I have an alchemy class tonight, so I won't disturb you." As she said that, the girl quickly turned around and fled the place where she was blushing.

Noticing the other party's reaction, Zhang Cheng pursed his lips, and sighed in a slightly playful tone: "Even Old George's daughter, Little Jenny, is at the age of infatuation. It seems that I have to find time to take a look at her, lest she be used by people with ulterior motives." It's..."

Chapter 3 and Four Noble and Humble

At night, in the alchemy workshop located 20 meters underground in the east district of Dalaran, hundreds of apprentices between the ages of ten and fifteen are trying to make various low-level potions and magic props under the leadership of their respective mentors.

Some of these senior apprentices already possessed quite proficient skills, and began to use these skills to earn a lot of gold coins for themselves to make up for the massive consumption in the process of learning magic.

You must know that except for a very small number of wealthy businessmen and princes and princesses, even the nobles cannot afford the terrifying tuition fees that increase geometrically, so most apprentices complete their studies through part-time work and part-study, and finally become qualified. the mage.

To a certain extent, the apprentices have accumulated valuable experience in this process, and the Kirin Tor Council can also earn the difference in price and maintain daily expenses by selling the low-level potions and magic items produced by these apprentices.It can be described as a win-win situation.

Of course, the income of apprentices is naturally not comparable to that of mages. On the one hand, they cannot buy raw materials at a low price. On the other hand, every gold coin they earn will flow into the pocket of the mentor.

As for how much this part is, it depends on how dark the mentor's heart is. It can be as little as one-third or as many as half. Anyway, before becoming a recognized official mage, they are all small people who are squeezed.

But all of this is not a problem for Jenny, who is quiet and introverted.

Because George Sr. did his best to support his youngest daughter for the rise of the family, her monthly living expenses were almost six times that of apprentices in the same period.

In addition, due to the relationship with Zhang Cheng, many people mistakenly think that the girl is the former lover, so the old mage Jabez, who is in his early 60s, never made things difficult for her.

Although sometimes she wanted to explain the misunderstanding clearly, but recalling her father's exhortation before leaving, she forcibly endured it and let the rumors spread. Many female apprentices who claimed to be beautiful and charming even asked her for advice on how to In order to seduce a powerful senior mage.

After all, the age limit has never been a stumbling block to love and desire in Azeroth.

Don’t you see that when Jaina was still a green loli, the thousand-year-old Kael’thas still resolutely joined the ranks of her suitors. According to the laws and moral standards of the earth, a dead house like him with a lolita, It definitely belongs to the category of three-year starting and the maximum death penalty.

But actually?

Ordinary people not only did not show rejection or disgust, but felt that it was very romantic. It was simply the most classic love story between a prince and a princess in fairy tales.

But it is a pity that the beautiful princess did not choose the handsome and elegant elf prince in the end, but chose a somewhat arrogant human prince Alsace Menethil.

In fact, in the human kingdom, the combination of young girls, middle-aged uncles, and even gray-haired old men is very common, especially for nobles who value blood.

As for the romantic news between the Dalaran mage and the apprentices, more than half of the attractive male and female apprentices wished they could climb into the mentor's bed and exchange their youth for infinite knowledge and power.

Just as Jenny kept recalling the embarrassing scenes not long ago in her mind, Jabez, the gray-haired old mage Jabez, suddenly reminded her: "Your dosage of silver leaf grass is too much!"

"Ah!" The girl, like a frightened little rabbit, threw the silver leaf grass powder in her heart into the beaker.

moment!

The potion, which was still smoking, suddenly became cloudy, and also exuded a pungent, pungent smell.

You don't need to ask to know that this bottle of magic potion is completely scrapped.

Frustrated, she hurriedly lowered her head, and explained in a stammering tone: "Yes... I'm sorry, Teacher, I was distracted."

"Remember, you are an apprentice now, you must stick to your duty as an apprentice, and don't think about other things while learning alchemy." Jabez reprimanded loudly, blowing his beard and staring.

"I'm sorry..." The girl who had never been good at words just lowered her head and kept apologizing.

"Oh, forget it, go get another batch of materials and start again." The old mage cleared up the muddy liquid in the beaker with a wave of his hand, and shook his head helplessly.

He couldn't understand at all what was so good about this clumsy little guy in front of him that he could be favored by a senior member of the Kirin Tor council.

Watching the back of the instructor gradually going away, Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to turn around and go to the material library behind to get another copy of silver leaf grass powder.

But before she could take a step, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with black hair and black eyes suddenly hugged her from behind, pinched her chest twice, and said with a low voice, "Wow Oh! Our lovely little Jenny is getting more and more attractive. I heard that your family is back? How is it, does he love you well?"

"Damn it! Zenobia, how many times have I said that Mr. Mage only granted me asylum at the request of my father, and nothing happened between us." Jenny forcefully separated the two troublesome hands, annoyed rolled his eyes.

Obviously, the two of them have known each other for a long time, and they are still good friends.

"Hey! Just kidding, I know you're still a pure girl who blush even when you see someone kissing. But seriously, did you mention the thing I asked you for last time?" Known as Zenobi Ya's girl blinked playfully.

"Sorry, there was an accident at home just now, I haven't had time to mention it yet." Jenny's fair face turned red once again.

"Oh! What happened?" Zenobia showed a gossip expression.

But before Jenny could answer, a strange figure suddenly appeared under the entrance stairs.

"First... Mister, why are you here?" Jenny left her only friend in Dalaran, and hurried to the front and bowed.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Cheng who had just taken a shower and changed his clothes.

He first glanced at Zenobia who was wearing a flustered look, and then asked with a smile, "Who is that?"

"Zenobia! She is my friend and helped me a lot when I first became an apprentice." Jenny replied cautiously.

"Hello, Your Majesty, my full name is Zenobia Ebonlocke. It is a great honor to meet you." The girl bent down and performed a standard aristocratic salute.

"Ebonlocke? Who are you, the Duke of Ello Ebonlocke?" Zhang Cheng tentatively touched his chin with interest.

"He is my uncle, and Althea is my cousin." Zenobia gave the answer without thinking.

Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "So that's it. You are a noble from the Stormwind Kingdom. Can you tell me what you asked Jenny to do? Could it happen to be related to me..."

Chapter 3 and Five Noble and Humble

"Sir, Zenobia, she..." Jenny seemed to sense something was wrong in the atmosphere, and wanted to explain something for her friend.

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted roughly by Zhang Cheng: "Quiet! She has her own mouth, so you don't need to say it."

The girl was taken aback by the harsh tone, and quickly bit her lower lip and stood there without saying a word.

Only at this moment did Zenobia realize how outrageously wrong she was. The young mage standing in front of her was by no means what the outside world rumored. With her keen insight, she saw through her little tricks at the first meeting.

But she has no room to back down. To be precise, as the ruler of Nightshade Town, the Ebonlocke family has no room to back down.

Whether it's the sky and land polluted by evil magic power, or the undead creatures emerging from Raven Ridge, the ogre entrenched in Vogul Ogre Mountain, or the undead that came out of nowhere Werewolves are threatening the rule of the current leader of the family, Duke Elro Ebonlocke.

Due to the lack of support from Stormwind City for a long time, this formerly peaceful and peaceful town has been completely isolated. Most of the refugees can only hide in houses or hotels under the protection of the night watchmen and earn a living on their savings.

As a member of the Ebonlocke family, Zenobia has not received tuition and living expenses from her father for almost three or four months, so she is very aware of how bad the situation is, and she wants to use Dalaran as a last resort The power of the mage, to solve the troubles plaguing Nightshade.

Thinking of this, the girl stroked her long black hair, and said in a very sincere tone: "Your Excellency, I hope I can talk to you alone, just you and me."
