Journey to Azeroth

Chapter 82 Phase Two
At night, No. 11 Baihe Street, the restaurant on the first floor.

A few candlesticks were placed on the dining table, ham, sausages, boiled potatoes, and a pot full of mutton stewed with carrots and buttered bread.

The food is very rich, but Carl has no appetite. The magic addiction is like a sharp sword hanging above his head, reminding Carl all the time that when the sword is cut off, he loses control.

The onset of magic addiction will become more and more serious, until it swallows his will, and becomes a walking dead who only knows crazy pursuit of magic.

Eating silently without speaking, or in other words, Karl was eating mechanically. The sumptuous food could no longer attract his attention, and all his thoughts were on the issue of magic addiction.

Elona clearly told Desai what happened in the afternoon next to her, and took out the bottle used to contain the liquid for relieving magic addiction, and showed it to Desai.

After listening to Elona's words, Desai frowned, and after asking a few more questions, he sighed and said, "The second stage of addiction."

From Desai's words, several people learned that magic addiction is also divided into stages. For thousands of years, Quel'Thalas has been seriously studying the problem of magic addiction, but it has not been solved until now. Method.

There are three stages of magic addiction. In the first stage, the body longs for magic, and a small amount of magic can satisfy it. The onset time is very short and can be tolerated. There is no risk of becoming a heartless person. The onset time is regular and can be overcome only by personal will.

In the second stage, the body's thirst for magic intensifies, and ordinary magic potions cannot satisfy it. When the body does not get enough magic, the magic addiction will become more and more frequent, and the personal will cannot be overcome. heart.

The third stage, those who lose their minds, when the addiction to magic becomes more and more severe, the addiction to magic will gradually swallow the consciousness of the high elves, and become a walking dead who only knows how to find magic. Based on the current research of Quel'Thalas, it becomes a lost mind. The probability that the high elves of the deceased will regain their consciousness and become a high elf again is close to zero, so the official default is that the high elves who become the lost soul die.

Karl is currently in the second stage of his addiction, which is already very dangerous. If he is not effectively controlled, his addiction will become more and more frequent until he becomes a walking dead who loses consciousness.

"Why so fast?" Carl stared at the food in front of him and asked.

Desai did not answer Carl's question, but asked another question: "What is your current mage level and spell list?"

Carl opened the system to check.

When Carl told Desai his current list of spells, Desai's brows furrowed and he looked at Carl with pity.

"Don't look at me like that," Carl pretended to smile relaxedly, and continued, "Your eyes are like looking at a dead person."

Desai didn't answer Carl's question, but instead answered the first question he asked, "I probably know why your addiction is so severe."

"Your strength has improved too fast. In just one month, you have changed from a rookie to a peak junior mage, and a thin line between an intermediate mage,"

Karl showed a surprised expression. It turned out to be like this. After thinking about it, there are many genius mages in the high elves. He must not be the only one who has this phenomenon. He asked, "Then Your Highness Kael'thas?"

"He is the most serious. He is only a thin line away from the third stage." Desai shook his head with a wry smile, and then explained: "The rapid improvement of your strength means that you are talented in arcane arts. A gifted mage arcane master The sum is not low, being eroded by arcane arts is very serious, and the magic addiction is naturally the most serious."

"The diluted well water from the Well of the Sun has a miraculous effect on magic addiction, I think you have already seen it," Desai picked up the bottle of spring water that Karl drank, and then comforted: "Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic, to be honest Your Highness is more serious than you, and it is normal, as long as there is the Sunwell, these are not problems."

"Drinking the well water from the Well of the Sun on a regular basis can stabilize your state, and your addiction will not appear. The only disadvantage is that you can't stop. After you stop, the second stage will speed up, and you will soon become an unconscious loser. "

"By the way, I'm also at the second stage," Desai smiled. "There are no talented high elf mages who are not addicted to magic."

Looking at Desai who comforted him from different angles, Karl smiled wryly. It seems that the risk is really not big now, as long as he drinks the water from the Well of the Sun on time.

This also represents the group opinion of Quel'Thalas. As long as there is the protection of the Sunwell, the high elves can reproduce in this land from generation to generation.

But who would have thought that a few years later, the undead Scourge would rise and wreak havoc on the Lordaeron continent. The leader of the Scourge Legion who had become the death knight, the former Lordaeron prince Arthas, in order to resurrect a capable general, the fallen former Kirin Tor council leader... The mage, the Lich Kel'Thuzad, led the Scourge to attack Quel'Thalas, break through Silvermoon City, kill the High Elf King Anasteria Sunstrider, and pollute the Sunwell.

By that time, Karl could even foresee now that he would become a loser.

I also understand why after the destruction of the Sunwell, the magic civilization of Quel'Thalas weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and those powerful and talented mages became frustrated.

The spring water from the Well of the Sun may be able to suppress the addiction, but it is by no means a long-term solution, and other methods need to be found.

Karl thought of Madr, the legendary Highborne mage who studied arcaneization, and he obtained a mysterious stone tablet with Madr's name on it at the auction house. Maybe he could make a breakthrough from this aspect. Successfully found a solution to the addiction before.

Thinking of this, Karl asked: "Teacher, I remember that there was once a legendary highborne mage named Madr who systematically studied the problem of magic addiction. Can I check his research materials?"

"Application is required. This is the top-secret information of the Sunstrider Royal Court, and His Royal Highness needs permission." Desai drank the cherry wine in the glass in one gulp, and continued: "It just so happens that the diluted Sunwell water also needs to be submitted to the prince. Your Highness applies, and we will join you tomorrow."

"It's not a bad thing to think about it from another perspective. At least this proves your talent. Even in Quel'Thalas, it's rare to see such a talented mage like you!"
