Chapter 16 The Road to a Mage, Starting from Reading

Half-elf, what is-thing?
Is this scolding?

Although the speaker had no intentions, it sounded like a curse no matter what?

Xiao En immediately said angrily: "Half-elves are not things! No, half-elves are things! Not right..."

Meili Dongfeng was obviously confused by Xiao En, staring at a pair of big eyes, confused: "Is that half-elf a thing?"

The conversation between the two minors made the usually elegant and gentle high elves laugh.

The high elf mage secretly pursed his lips and smiled for a long time before he straightened his face and explained: "Half-elves are a special race. They are the offspring of the combination of elves and other races. They have two different bloodlines. They are hybrids." .Young man, may I ask, what is your name? I mean your full name, including first and last name."

Sean immediately realized that this was an account investigation.

In this world, surnames are very important.Because the surname represents the blood.When many people introduce themselves, they will bring their surname and the first name of their elders.

For example, if Medivh introduces himself, he will say "My name is Medivh Elam, son of Nelas Elam", although he is more likely to refer to his mother than his father, after all, his mother is more Stronger and more famous.

The high elf mage wanted to find out about Sean's origin from Sean's surname.Since ancient times, there are not many elves, so there are not many surnames.Any adult elf is familiar with all elf surnames.

Sean wasn't going to lie.

In fact, regarding his inexplicable surname and inexplicable half-elf status, he also wanted to find out what was going on.

So Sean only hesitated for a short while, and then replied cheerfully: "My name is Sean, Sean Feather Moon."

Sean Feather Moon?

Several elf mages looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Because they don't remember at all, which elf's surname is "Feather Moon".

"Maybe, is it a declining surname? Or a newly born surname?" The mages thought so.

The elves' surnames are not eternal.

For example, the king of Quel'Thalas, the great Anastarian Sunstrider, whose surname "Sunstrider" was named after the high elves split from the night elves.

Yuyue, maybe that's how she came here?
The elf mages didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and quickly put this little problem behind them.The high elf mage pursed his lips at Sean and asked, "Sean, you just said...you want us to treat you both? What does it mean?"

Xiao En quickly replied: "Master Wise, it's like this. Opening a small stove means teaching alone. The two of us were fascinated by the lecture during the day, so I want to ask Master Mage to explain it to us again. I don't know, no. Do you know it?"

Sean lowered his voice and began to act cute and coquettish.

This stuff is very sharp.

The reason why she is acting cute and coquettish is because the high elf mage in front of her is a beautiful woman.If it was a man, Sean would have to vomit first!You know, Sean is straight, not curvy, and has no interest in the same sex.

Although the high elves are far away from the Well of Eternity, their lifespan is no longer endless, but they are still a long-lived race, and it is not a problem to live for hundreds or thousands of years.So to the high elves, Xiao En, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, is not even considered a teenager, at most a child... Even considering that he is not a pure elf, but a half-elf.

Therefore, the high elf mage can understand Sean's cuteness and coquetry.

Perhaps because of Sean's status as a half-elf, the high elf mage instantly got close to him a lot, and quickly agreed to Sean's request.

As honored guests of Stromgarde, the high elves live not far from the king's palace.Under the leadership of the elf mage, Sean and Meri came to a certain room together.

It is a room of a "library" nature, filled with books.Most of the books are in the collection of the Arathor royal family. There are only a few of them, which exude strong arcane energy. They are magic books brought by the elf mages.

Every magic book is very precious.

Every mage is a master of learning, and their powerful magical abilities are accumulated through tireless study and research.

After confirming that Sean and Meri were both literate, the female elf mage took a large stack of books from the bookshelf and piled them in front of the two of them. After leaving a sentence, she held another book and began to read.

"From top to bottom, read it thoroughly, and then come to me."

Sean is a person who loves to read, no matter on Earth or in Azeroth.

The stack of books that the elven female mage placed in front of him was not a magic book, but a magic book.Although there is only one word difference between the two, they are actually very different.

The magic book not only records all kinds of spells, these spells only need to provide a certain amount of magic power, and they can be cast directly, which is no different from the spells released by a mage after a long period of preparation.Moreover, the magic book itself is an indispensable prop for a mage, and its value even exceeds that of a staff.

A mage holding a spellbook is likely to be more powerful than a mage with only a staff, provided they are both mages of the same level.

And magic books are just books that record magic knowledge. They are very ordinary books. As the carrier of knowledge, the two are not the same.

The material of these magic books is not ordinary paper, but made of special plant fibers by high elves.Because those special plant fibers are inherently resistant to magic, they are not afraid of water immersion or fire, so the magic books made also have corresponding characteristics.In this way, magic books can be preserved for a longer period of time, even thousands of years.

The only downside is that the paper is too thick.A book as thick as a brick, with only thirty or fifty pages, doesn't record much.

The text contained in the stack of books in front of me is probably not as good as a junior high school Chinese textbook.

The characters in these books are not elven characters, but human characters, which is the lingua franca of later generations.These books were written by specialized scholars in Quel'Thalas before coming to Stromgarde, with the purpose of making them understandable to humans.

After opening the first book, Sean was immediately fascinated.

These magic books did not involve any formed magic, but only the most basic magic knowledge.For example, the origin of magic, the elements of casting spells, the material composition of the world, earth, fire, water and wind, the differences between different elements, how to meditate, and the effect of meditation.

It seems basic, but for a beginner, it is very important.If you don't read these books and study and appreciate the thousands of years of experience accumulated by these predecessors, then you will not be able to walk on the path of a mage.
