Azeroth’s Death Track

Arugal is a magical mage.

Although few people in Dalaran know his name, anyone who has seen Arugal will have a deep memory of his strange behavior.

You have to know that in a place like Dalaran where mages gather together, it is very difficult for you to get recognition. The mages who can enter Dalaran to practice are all geniuses selected from various human countries, and even In this way, not every genius can stay in Dalaran after each year of practice.

But Arugal did it.

He doesn't have a superhuman talent for magic, nor does he have magic-like means of casting magic, and even his sense of magic power is only half-level. In fact, is there some dirty shady dealing.

But actually, no!

Arugal stayed in Dalaran by relying on his own efforts. Of course, the way he worked was a bit weird, unreasonable, and not understood by most mages.

Arugal! We're going to summon a beast today! Get up, come up and help! You slob!

Dalaran's famous crazy archmage Ur shouted again in his mage tower. Compared with other mage's mage towers, Master Ur's mage tower can almost be called a garbage dump. In fact, To call it a dump is to overstate it.

Look here, the corpse of an astral hound summoned from the stars has begun to rot, but not a single person has come to draw precious blood, leftover burgers and unwashed dishes from the morning before it completely spoils Stacked together, there is a tattered black robe thrown on the experimental table, but don't underestimate it, this is the magic robe personally made by the summoning master Mr. Ur.

Yes, it has some magical effects, provided you can bear the poor taste of the tattered robe, and the disgusting smell that emanates from it.

But believe me, even so, if you send it to the goblin auction house, you can still reap money that you can't make in your life, provided that you can summon those disgusting monster hands from Ur escape.

And Arugal, he lived in such a garbage dump.

He is Ur's apprentice, and the only man in Dalaran who is willing to become Ur's apprentice... Even the best-tempered Master Antonidas once reprimanded Ur as a lunatic whose brain was burned by magic , and to become such a person's apprentice, it requires paying a terrible price and having nerves of steel.

And so far, in the whole of Dalaran, only Arugao has done it alone. This mage apprentice from the backcountry of Gilneas also became a high-level mage during the torture of Ur. , and there is only one step left.

But the terrible price he paid for this was that Arugal probably didn't realize that he was used to Ur's weird and crazy behavior and began to move closer to his mentor.

Here I am, stop shouting, hearing your voice every morning will make my good mood disappear.

Sleepy-eyed Arugal walked out of his room wearing his relatively clean robe, and threw the leftover food from last night into the garbage dump at the door. He didn't need to obey the strict rules of the Dalaran mages. work and rest habits, because those monitoring mages never enter Master Ur's mage tower.

The people of Gilneas slowly climbed up the stairs. This mage tower does not have the magical portal like other mage towers. Ur admires the habits of mages in ancient times. His mage tower is a tower in the true sense. 25 meters high, from the bottom to the highest floor, there are only hard wooden steps. If you have bad eyesight, or are fainted by the strange smell in the tower, then you are likely to fall down... There is no need to say more about the result.

But fortunately, mage Arugal is already used to this kind of high-intensity exercise for mages.

When he climbed to the top floor, the air in the Mage Tower finally got better. Crazy Ur was wearing a shabby robe, and his gray hair was not tidied up. He looked like a crazy old man. He didn't wait for his apprentice to arrive. , but I have already started my favorite summoning.

Oh, by the way, did I mention Ur's weird habits?

As the most powerful summoner among human beings, Ur summons a monster from nowhere every day for fun. He likes the feeling of traveling through worlds during this summoning process, just like taking medicine Same, can't stop at all.

But generally speaking, what Ur summons are some small monsters that are not too troublesome, the kind that he can easily crush to death, and the cemetery he summons is also very simple. Observe the living habits and characteristics of these alien creatures, and then record them in your own Book of Ur. Of course, this great and crazy book is still being written, so Ur has not been driven out of Dalaran yet.

Even 2 months ago, he accidentally summoned a Void Terror, almost destroying a block.

So, my dear mentor, what shall we summon today?

Arugao picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a sip of wine with great interest, and stood watching Ur's summoning ceremony as if he was dancing a great god. Answer your apprentice's questions.

What else can it be?

The master summoner jumped and said dissatisfiedly:

Of course it's the Emerald Dream! Didn't I tell you? The creatures summoned from that place are all very beautiful, such as the stuffed rainbow horse I gave Modera a year ago, that's me I was captured from the Emerald Dream, today, I will summon that beautiful place again, oh, I hope the mighty Ysera won't find me.

interesting.

After Arugal finished his drink, he picked up the quill, opened the purple Book of Ur dotted with green light spots on the table, and prepared to record the process of this summoning.

The Emerald Dream is not any other small world, it is a demiplane shrouded in the real world, and because of the relationship between the powerful Green Dragon Queen and the demigods of the wilderness living in it, breaking the spatial barrier of the Emerald Dream is a difficult task. It is very difficult and extremely risky. Master Ur's favorite student, Arugal from Gilneas, is still unable to preside over such a summoning ceremony.

It's not that he can't, but that he lacks experience in dealing with dangerous calls.

I said, mentor, the dwarf warlock who contacted us last month sent me another magic message last night.

Arugal waited boredly for the summoning ceremony to finish, and he complained to his mentor:

That guy named Wilfred Fizban never forgets the summoning spell you made. He said that he can pay any price in exchange for a summoning spell tailored just for him. This is the 47th rejection, and I feel a little embarrassed.

I'm busy!

Concentrated on jumping God... er, I mean, Master Ur, who was concentrating on the summoning ceremony, said without looking back:

You can take over this private job, as long as you don't get discovered by the council of six. Anyway, all the warlocks need is a demonic spell together with Twisting Void. The method of making the magic seal of summoning is on page 1456 of Book of Ur. By the way, don't get too involved with those warlocks, my apprentices, they are all a group of cannibals, and don't be fooled by that little dwarf's harmless appearance.

Ur muttered:

I can feel that hidden in that short body is a crazy soul, who knows what he will do with the magic seal I made.

Okay, then I'll contact him tonight, is there anything you want?

Arugal looked at the colorful light emitted by the summoning ceremony, and began to quickly record everything in front of him. While writing, he asked:

We can blackmail that warlock. I heard that he has a close relationship with the Manastorm family. Maybe we can get some good things.

I?

Ur stopped beating, reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his dirty robe, and said in a low voice:

What do I want? I don't know...but maybe a succubus would be fun, don't you think, our mage's tower is too quiet? We need a steward, a beautiful one who will Alluring butler.

Well, I'm sure, even a hungry succubus won't look for you.

Arugal made fun of his mentor, he snorted:

But since I have already reached out to ask for it, why don't you let him send over two succubi, plus some materials related to demons... Wait, teacher, are you sure this summoning step is correct? How did the light turn into darkness? Is it red?

The high-level mage put down the pen in his hand and walked to his mentor. Master Ur frowned tightly:

That's not right. The Emerald Dream itself is a demi-plane. Why is there another demi-plane hidden in it? And it still seems to be sealed. This kind of breath...is crazy, even the last time The Void Terror doesn't have such a crazy will, it must be something sealed here.

The master summoner stretched out his hand and pulled his apprentice back a few steps. He flicked his fingers, and a spark of magic rushed to the edge of the running summoning circle, disrupting the flow of magic power. , the magic circle exuding a dark red strange aura slowly stopped functioning.

Record it, Arugal!

Ur frowned, and only at this time did he act like a powerful and wise mage. He leaned on his staff, circled the circle a few times, and said in a deep voice:

12 days before the summer solstice in the 12th year of the Dark Portal, this is a failed summoning ceremony, no, it cannot be called a failure, but I felt the hidden malice in the space that was unexpectedly discovered on the opposite side, and I felt that I was sealed in The souls in it, the chaotic, wild, and crazy souls, are extremely numerous, just like a specially built space cage.

Unless it is a matter of life and death, we can no longer communicate with that space... It is too dangerous, and from the sealing technique, this cage is likely to have something to do with night elves, and I hate everything that has something to do with night elves exist!

After finishing speaking, Master Summoner turned his head to look at his apprentice, only to find that Arugal was standing there blankly, which made Ur very dissatisfied, because Arugal, who has always been smart, showed the same aura as other mages. Stupid expression.

So he swung his cane and hit his disciple, awakening Arugal with a start.

Have you finished recording? What are you doing?

Ur looked at his disciple with dissatisfaction, Alu shrugged, and turned the book in his hand in the other direction, the beautiful magic pattern on that hand made the master nod, while Alugao carefully looked at his wrist Fragments of light shone on the bracelet.

That means the magic message is activated, and the meaning is simple:

This letter represents my greetings and your future...from your loyal friend, Khadgar, in Everbloom on Draenor.

It was activated along with the text message, and there was also a location coordinates located in Lordamere Lake. It seems that Khadgar sent someone to deliver a letter, but because of Khadgar's bad reputation in Dalaran, Ah Lu Gao finally decided not to tell anyone else about it.

As a magic mage, after following a magic mentor, Arugal has very few friends in Dalaran...but because he learned magic from Medivh, he became an old weird guy Mage Khadgar is his best friend, bar none.

Maybe we could call it a friendship between... freaks if we don't take the elegance of words into account?

Some readers said that I was overly beautifying Gathelis. . . In fact, I can't help it. There were only a few well-known figures in Lordaeron at the time. Uther and Fording, who believed in the supremacy of kingship, would definitely not be able to say such a thing. I have no idea whether other people have the right to command the army. ~
