i have a museum of curiosities

"Huh—" Jaina on the side exhaled lightly, then she looked at Zhang Ye angrily, put her hands on her hips and whispered: "Mr. Gognes, I think I have to teach him a lesson. The etiquette between your mages is gone, so you won't make trouble for me!"

"Uh..." Zhang Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, and then asked, "Is that man very powerful just now? I think you seem to be very afraid of him."

Jaina couldn't help giving Zhang Ye a blank look, and then said, "If you understood the meaning of the title 'Archmage' and the name 'Kel'Thuzad', you wouldn't ask this question."

"I just asked because I didn't understand! Explain it." Zhang Ye laughed.

"'Great Mage' is by far the highest title of the mage profession. Anyone who can be called a 'Great Mage' is the best among mages. Each of them has the power to destroy a city! And Kerr Sugard is another kind of archmage." Jaina explained.

"Alternative?"

"That's right. But I can't tell you the specifics, because I also heard it from other people. It is extremely unwise to talk about a certain archmage behind his back." Jaina smiled playfully and said : "But it's a different matter if it's the relatively casual conversation between mages."

"What do you mean?" Zhang couldn't help but ask back.

"That is to say, if you also become a mage or an apprentice, and then I accidentally slipped my mouth during the magic experiment..."

"Wait, didn't you say it was easy to start? Why do you want to become an apprentice again?" Zhang couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said, "You didn't plan to..."

"Oh, I think you're thinking too much, Mr. Gogness." Jaina curled her lips and said, "Then I'll explain it to you slowly."

Speaking of this, Jaina stretched out a finger, "First, due to the impact of the previous two wars, the high-level officials in Dalaran have to consider the security, and all personnel who plan to stay in Dalaran for a long time need to be in the 'local People' led to Violet Castle to register."

"Second," Jaina stretched out two fingers, "everyone has magical aptitude, but the level is different. The magic aptitude assessment is also an attempt by the Dalaran high-level to encourage more people to become mages. As long as the aptitude If you are above average, you will get a certificate issued by the high-level Dalaran, which will be very helpful for your future actions."

Hearing this, Zhang couldn't help but nodded, and then asked, "What about the third one?"

"Third... I hope you try it. If you are really qualified to become a mage, it will be of great benefit to me." Jaina replied.

Without waiting for Zhang to answer, Jaina walked towards the stone steps first.

"What she said makes sense, and I have no reason to refute it." Zhang couldn't help muttering, "But the problem is...she never asked my opinion from the beginning to the end..."

Looking at Jaina's back, Zhang also thought for a while, then sent a private message to each of Li You and the others, and then chased Jaina to the top of the stone steps...
.
Three days later, in a certain inconspicuous pure white tower.

"No, no! It's 'Blazer-Falbert', not 'Blazer-Falbert'!"

Jaina held her forehead and looked at Zhang Ye who was struggling to practice the fireball spell not far away with a complicated face.

That's right, Zhang has also successfully passed the MQA - Magical Qualification Assessment - with an "Excellent" rating.This means that he has enough qualifications to become a mage, and even an archmage offered enough tempting conditions to accept Zhang Ye.

It’s just that Zhang also chose to become Jaina’s assistant when he registered, which made the archmage who wanted Zhang Ye to become his apprentice a little displeased. Fortunately, Jaina prevaricated with the reason of “accepting apprentices for the teacher” past.Just looking at the expression of the archmage, it seemed that he was a little jealous of Jaina, which made Zhang Ye relieved and at the same time secretly warned himself to be more cautious in front of Jaina.

Whether Zhang also has an "excellent" level of magical talent, or refused a sincere invitation from an archmage, Jaina felt incredible.After all, when a beautiful and ambitious future is in front of them, few people will choose to refuse.

But after Zhang Ye urged Jaina to use frost magic to make a cold drink called ice cream, Jaina's questions were all left behind, and she even took the initiative to teach Zhang Ye to use a magic wand to create a "spring" of clear water. curse".

In Zhang Ye's eyes, the more "big" and "bright" the future looks, the more dangerous it is.After all, this is a game world!And mixed in the game world, apart from clinging to the thighs of the GM or powerful NPC, another thing is to secretly improve your strength as much as possible!

After all, it's fun for a while, and it's always fun for a while!But at the same time, you must not forget to become stronger. God knows what the mastermind behind this game world wants to do?
Ever since, Zhang also began pestering Jaina to teach him basic spells almost at the same time he learned that his magical talent was "excellent".

Obviously, a "Surging Curse" that can only change water is too much to negate one's "excellent" talent!

However, to Zhang Ye's great disappointment, he didn't learn the simplest "fireball technique" after studying for three days!

Of course, Zhang didn't gain anything in the past three days, at least he knew very well that the 13-year-old little loli in front of him was not only mature in mind, but also had one of the best magic talents in Dalaran!
It's just that her teaching level is really hard to describe...

"Pay attention to gestures, Gognes, gestures! Oh, no, no, gentle hands, just like stroking a cute cat..."

Blushing again, Zhang Ye exhaled lightly, flicked his hands gently in the air according to Jaina's words, and then chanted loudly: "Blazer-Felbe!"

Suddenly, two flames condensed and formed in the palms of Zhang Ye's hands, one in front and the other in the back!
Zhang also didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly pushed out his hands at the wooden dummy not far away——

"call--"

The two flames entangled with each other, crossed a beautiful arc, and hit the wooden dummy accurately, making a muffled "pop".

"Nice job, Gognes!" Jaina smiled and clapped her hands.

Zhang Ye looked at his hands in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the fireball just now was rubbed out by himself.

"Jianna, why... my fireball technique has two flames? I see that there is only one fireball technique you released." Zhang also scratched his head strangely.

Jaina lightly jumped onto the wooden table beside her, swinging her feet back and forth, shaking her head and saying, "That's because you don't have enough control to fuse the fireball the moment it's released."

"Control?" Zhang Ye frowned, and had a little guess in his heart.

This time, Zhang didn't rush to chant the spell, but slowly stretched out his hands and flicked them slowly in the air, imitating the gestures of the fireball spell, carefully feeling the surge of the fire element in his hands.

Gradually, Zhang Ye felt the heat coming from the palms of his hands as if two fountains of firepower were about to erupt, so he didn't have time to think about it, and directly chanted the incantation of the fireball technique——

"Blazer-Felberg!"

This time the fireball formed faster, but there was still one in the palm of each hand.There is no doubt that the next step is to test Zhang Ye's control.

Zhang also continued to push out his hands like last time, but in the process of pushing out, he consciously moved his hands closer.

"call--"

The two flames quickly entangled, and just when Zhang Ye thought he had succeeded, the two flames that had not yet merged suddenly burst into a strong white light——

"Do not--"

The violent explosion drowned out Zhang Ye's screams.

Jaina reacted very quickly, and immediately put a layer of Frost Armor on herself, so that she was only blown to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion instead of being blown out of the tower.

Zhang Ye was not so lucky. His body was violently pushed towards the wall by the air waves generated by the explosion—in order to prevent the mage from destroying the towers during the experiment, the walls of each tower were cast with advanced rebounding spells— Then the rebound technique on the tower wall was triggered, and Zhang Ye's body bounced fiercely to the ground again...

"bump--"

Zhang Ye didn't even have time to scream, and passed out directly.

As the smoke cleared, Jaina covered her mouth and nose and looked at the nearly destroyed laboratory, looking for Zhang Ye's figure with some horror, and finally found Zhang Ye's blood-stained body in a pile of debris.

"Oh, no! Gog... Ness!"

Jaina took two steps towards Zhang Ye in fear, and after seeing Zhang Ye's miserable appearance, she froze in place at a loss, not daring to take another step forward.

"G... Gognes?" Jaina called cautiously.

However, Zhang also passed out in the previous two collisions, how could he hear Jaina's cry?
Seeing Zhang Ye's motionless appearance, Jaina suddenly had a bad guess in her heart, but what should she do?Are you looking for a teacher?But if the teacher knew that he taught others magic privately, and caused others...others to die, he would definitely drive himself out of Dalaran... But if he didn't go to the teacher, then Gognes would die in vain... Yet?
After all, no matter how mature the mind is, Gianna is just a 13-year-old girl now.

Thinking that she had killed Zhang Ye, Jaina burst into tears in desperation.

"Wuu... Gognes... I'm sorry! I didn't know it would be like this... Hurry up... wake up... Huuu... As long as you wake up, I... I will promise anything You... woo..."

I don't know whether Jaina's crying is too sad or Zhang Ye has a special physique, but he really woke up.

"J...Jianna? Why are you...crying?"

"Gao... Gognes?"

Jaina stopped crying suddenly, and looked at Zhang Ye, "You...you're not dead?"

Zhang also tried to move his body, trying to get up from the ground.Helpless, half of my body was crushed under the debris, so I had to give up.

"Not dead...but soon..."

"ah!"

Jaina cried out in surprise, then hurriedly ran to Zhang Ye's side, and stretched out her hands excitedly to pick up the debris for Zhang Ye.

Zhang also turned his head and looked at Jaina quietly.

There were still crystal clear teardrops hanging on Jaina's little face, but she didn't care to wipe them off at the moment, but struggled to use those delicate little hands to grab the debris that was pressing on Zhang Ye's body.

At that moment, Zhang Ye's heartstrings seemed to be plucked.

What a kind little girl.

Unknowingly, the corner of Zhang Ye's mouth curled up in an arc.

"Jianna, step back." Zhang Ye said softly.

"Ah You……"

"I should be able to get up." Zhang Ye forced a smile, then gritted his teeth and got up.

"Crash-"

Debris slipped from Zhang Ye's body, splashing a cloud of dust. Zhang Ye hurriedly motioned Jaina to cover her mouth and nose, and then pulled out her legs suddenly.

Zhang Ye's body was covered with large and small scratches, and the coarse linen clothes on his body had been completely turned into rags.Jaina could even see the fine wounds on Zhang Ye's body from the gaps in his clothes.

However, Zhang Ye ignored his injury and turned to look at Jaina beside him.

Jaina looked at Zhang Ye nervously, with her hands behind her back tightly.

"Let me see your hand." Zhang Ye whispered.

"Ah? No, I'm fine!" Jaina was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head violently.

Zhang didn't say anything more, but his expression became very serious.

Seeing Zhang Ye's appearance, Jaina gritted her teeth slightly and stretched out her hands.

The originally delicate hands were covered with dust and sawdust, and there were even a lot of wood thorns on the fingers.Especially where her right hand was close to the palm, there was a clearly visible wound from which blood had flowed out.

Zhang was also a little shocked, but also a little distressed.

Taking out a small magic wand with a strange shape from his arms, Zhang Ye nodded to Jaina's hands, and then shouted:

"Clear water is like a spring!"

Immediately, a stream of clear water flowed out from the top of the wand, and Zhang Ye gently held Jaina's hands and rubbed them clean for her.

This is the first spell that Zhang Ye learned from Jaina - the Spring Curse.It is said that anyone with magic power and a wand can cast it.

Originally, Zhang also learned this spell so that he would not be short of water in future adventures, but he did not expect to use it for the first time to clean the wound.

As for the strangely shaped wand, Zhang Ye himself carved a piece of curved willow wood that Jaina discarded with a magic blade blessed by arcane dust.

I don’t know if it’s because the people here don’t have the saying that “men and women don’t know each other”. Jaina watched Zhang Ye wash her hands very quietly, and didn’t show any dissatisfaction. This also made Zhang Ye feel that his behavior was a bit too much. I felt a little relieved.

After a while, Jaina's hands were cleaned, and Zhang Ye slid her wand gently over her hands again, and the wooden thorns fell off her hands one after another.In the end, Zhang Ye carefully smeared the injured parts of Jaina's hands with the primary healing ointment that Bai Xia gave him, and carefully wrapped them with the linen strips that he dropped when he was fighting monsters.

After doing all this, Zhang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly let go of his hand.

Jaina smiled slightly at the somewhat "ugly" way of tying the knot.

"Gorgness, I now believe you are an adventurer!"

Zhang Ye grinned and said, "Zhang Ye, my real name is Zhang Ye."

Jaina seemed to understand something, blinked cutely, and smiled lightly.

it is more than words.
