“Hello! Thank you for your help, Lord Rhodes. My name is Jaina Proudmoore, I come from Kul Tiras, and I am the daughter of an Alliance admiral.” The female mage stepped forward and gave a mage's salute.
She had just noticed that Rhodes didn't perform the mage's salute when he greeted her and Arthas!
Strange! Isn't he a mage? Yet the power he just unleashed was indeed pure arcane magic, and incredibly powerful at that!
It seems to be a type of instant-cast arcane magic, but I've never seen it in any of the books in Dalaran!
"So, you two are here to investigate the plague of the dead, right, a princess and a prince?"
"I am a traveler. I passed through a village ahead and discovered that many villagers had used contaminated grains, resulting in mutations that turned them all into undead." Rhodes briefly explained the events in the village ahead.
"What! Another village has been desecrated by the Cult of the Damned! Damn it! If only I had gotten there sooner!" Arthas roared angrily, his face turning ashen.
“Calm down, Arthas. This isn’t the usual you. We will defeat that necromancer named Kel'Thuzad and save your people,” Jaina said.
“Thank you, Gina. Now, Lord Rhodes, if I may be so bold, may I ask who you are and which country you come from?” Arthas asked.
On the surface, the other party appeared to be human, but he had never seen a human with black hair and black eyes before, and the other party's appearance was clearly different from theirs.
“I am not from one of the seven human kingdoms, but from another distant continent, one that you cannot even imagine. Its name is China,” Rhodes said.
Rhodes originally wanted to say Pandaria, but while there are Pandaren in Pandaria, there are no descendants of the Eastern Dragons!
“Is that so? Then thank you for your help. If it weren’t for the need to continue investigating the undead plague, I would have certainly invited you to the capital of Lordaeron and personally entertained you, a guest from afar,” Arthas nodded and said.
“The Holy Light is deceiving you! Those evil beings are utterly depraved; I have witnessed their atrocities firsthand.” Rhodes raised his hand, releasing a flash of Holy Light that shone upon himself.
A golden, holy beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating Rhodes and making him appear exceptionally sacred.
This holy light enveloped everyone present, making them feel warm and instantly restoring their energy and relieving their fatigue.
Rhodes realized that the Holy Light spell he had cast, although it was only the most basic Flash of Light, was much more powerful than the one Arthas had just cast.
Rhodes calmly checked the system panel. Two points of strength attribute would also give Holy Light Flash a power bonus of 2 times 10!
It's equivalent to a multiple of the Magic Arrow, and its healing effect can be doubled; even your own Flash of Light is equivalent to the Holy Light spell.
"Thank God, so you are also a user of the Holy Light?" Arthas visibly relaxed, and his attitude towards Rhodes changed considerably.
Those who use the Holy Light are generally not evil, because the Holy Light does not favor any evil beings, especially the dead.
“That’s right, I am also a user of the Holy Light, Prince Arthas. Perhaps you could hire me to join your mission and help you fight the undead,” Rhodes said.
"Lord Rhodes, welcome to my ranks and to the service of the Royal Family of Lordaeron," Arthas said, shaking hands with Rhodes in a very friendly manner.
Having someone who wields the Holy Light to help deal with the Scourge would be ideal! He was more than happy to have Rhodes join his team.
“It’s my pleasure, Your Highness, you silly prince.” Rhodes smiled and shook hands with Arthas.
Chapter 7 Jaina's Curiosity: Arcane and Holy Light Coexisting?
"Mr. Rhodes, I clearly saw you use arcane magic just now, but why did you use holy light in the blink of an eye?" Jaina asked with a puzzled look.
She had clearly seen that Mr. Rhodes was using magical power, and now he was using holy light power.
“Oh, you mean my magical power? Like this?” Rhodes smiled, and a burst of blue magic power floated in his palm.
Then a powerful ice arrow was fired, instantly piercing through the tree on the other side and freezing half of it. The power of this was no less than the magic that the female mage had just cast!
"This, this is simply unbelievable! This is, this is an Frost Arrow! My God, Mr. Rhodes!"
"How did you manage to possess both arcane magic and the power of holy light?" Jaina asked Rhodes with an excited expression.
"I guess that's my personal talent!" Rhodes said with a smile.
Since I will eventually set foot in human society, the fact that I can use holy light and magic will inevitably be revealed sooner or later. Rather than hiding it, I might as well explain it openly.
"It's incredible, you know?"
This completely overturned my understanding!
Logically, these two types of energy should not be able to coexist, but this is only a theoretical statement.
"But now you've proven to me that these two forces can coexist. This is a great academic study; I should write a long paper on it!" Jaina exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly. This was a tremendous discovery!
The mages of Dalaran will go mad over this, because everyone has proven that Holy Light and Arcane can not coexist in one person at the same time.
If you learn the power of Holy Light and then want to practice arcane magic, you must give up the power of Holy Light; similarly, if you want to practice the power of Holy Light, you must give up arcane magic.
“Perhaps I’m a little different from others!” Rod said with a smile.
This is nothing. Once I learn Druid spells and Warlock spells, I'll unleash all six Forces on you.
“Alright, Gina, we are greeting our guests. Mr. Rhodes, I will hire you for this mission for 1000 gold coins. I wonder if you are satisfied with this price?” Arthas stopped the extremely excited female mage and looked at Rhodes.
In his view as a prince, using the power of holy light was certainly good, but using arcane magic was also fine.
The important thing now is to quickly investigate the source of this plague, resolve this incident, and save his people who have been cruelly harmed by the cursed cult.
The price he quoted for hiring Rhodes was also carefully considered; 1000 gold coins was definitely not a small amount, it was even equivalent to a minor lord's annual income.
“Your Highness Arthas, your price is very fair, and I am happy to serve you,” Rhodes said.
In the level 60 version, 1,000 gold coins can buy a 1,000 gold horse.
At this time, with the inflation of currency in the world of Azeroth, there shouldn't be a situation where the average adventurer has hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This amount of money should not be small!
Moreover, with the money, he also wanted to try to buy the high-level resources he wanted in the capital city of Lordaeron.
The world of Azeroth has gems, such as mercury, sulfur, and crystal, and there are many different kinds of them.
“Then let’s set off! To Andorhal. According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, the Cult of the Damned seems to be making a big move there,” Arthas said.
Rhodes nodded and joined Arthas and Jaina's party.
"Mr. Rhodes, let me introduce you. This is my personal guard captain, Farek," Arthas said, pointing to the tall, middle-aged man beside him, who was wearing a fine set of standard armor.
The latter immediately stood up and nodded to Rhodes, who returned the gesture very politely.
And they use holy light to deceive you.
Farek! This is another familiar face! The infamous number one boss of the T-Hall!
How many tanks were slaughtered by him back then? How many medics were driven to despair by his attacks? It's all tears when you talk about it!
Afterwards, Arthas introduced the other Lordaeron soldiers in the group to Rhodes, and the group set off together towards Andorhal.
Along the way, the female mage kept pestering Rhodes with questions, especially about how to balance the two principles, which annoyed Rhodes to no end.
The reason is simple!
Because Rhodes couldn't answer the question the other party asked, the reason I was able to learn both Holy Light and Frostbolt at the same time was because I had a spellbook, and these two spells are now recorded in my spellbook.
As everyone knows, as long as it's copied into a magic book, the hero can use it; there's no logic to it, it's just that simple and brutal.
It's because I have an Eagle Eye technique. As for your question about the casting principle and how to balance the two forces within the body...
The arcane structure and the holy light echoed each other, but Rhodes said he had no idea.
"Lord Rhodes! Please, I beg you, could you please give me some pointers?"
"I'm really curious, how do you cast spells while also using the power of holy light? This is very important." The female mage even resorted to her charming charm, trying to glean something from Rhodes.
Upon hearing this, Rod rolled his eyes. "Your attempts to charm and be cute with me won't work, Daddy Na."
Please! Go bother your little prince, don't bother me! I don't want to be tricked by you!
As everyone knows, once you arrive in the world of Azeroth, you must stay away from a certain female mage, because any man who gets along well with this female mage will basically not have a good ending.
This guy has tricked two princes, a dragon with a combat power of only five, and the archmage of Dalaran.
In the entire world of Azeroth, the only one who could withstand the Curse of Jaina was the World Shaman!
Although he is an orc, our world's shaman is incredibly clever. In the early stages, he can completely outmaneuver the naive and innocent Tian, making him sell out his father and still count the money for him!
"Lord Rhodes, are you familiar with Kel'Thuzad, the leader of the Cult of the Damned?" Arthas asked as he approached Rhodes.
Seeing Jaina constantly clinging to the other man made the young prince feel quite uncomfortable. He had originally planned to wait until this mission was completed before...
He then took Jaina back to the capital of Lordaeron to meet his father, King Tyrese.
Then they officially established their relationship. He had hurt Jaina's heart a few years ago, and this time he intended to make amends.
And he wanted to tell Jaina in person that their child would have blond hair in the future.
"Perhaps Ms. Gianna is more qualified to speak on this issue than I am."
Kel'Thuzad was once one of the six members of the Kirin Tor Council in Dalaran, but was later expelled from Dalaran for his research into necromancy. "Rhodes said.
Chapter 8: The First Six Members of the Council, Building the Magic Guild
Upon hearing this, Arthas's expression changed. Kel'Thuzad, that evil necromancer, had actually been a member of the six-person council of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran.
Who are the Kirin Tor Six? Each and every one of them is one of the top archmages in Dalaran.
He possessed magical abilities far beyond what ordinary people could imagine! Why would such a person commit such an evil deed!
Furthermore, how did this Mr. Rhodes know anything about Kel'Thuzad?
Even Jaina didn't know about this, or rather, Jaina deceived herself!
Is it to uphold the dignity of Dalaran?
Therefore, he did not reveal Kel'Thuzad's identity to himself, should the other party truly be a member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six.
Jaina had no reason not to recognize the other person! Even if their appearance had changed, the other person had given their name!
Arthas looked at Jaina, his eyes filled with confusion and a hint of disappointment.
"Gina! Is what Mr. Rhodes said true?"
Rhodes, riding alongside, simply watched with amusement. If only he had a camera with him, the future Lich King would look like a boyfriend being deceived by his girlfriend's sweet words!
"Kel'Thuzad was indeed a member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six, I'm sorry, Arthas."
"I didn't recognize him at first. I even thought it was just someone with the same name! I really didn't expect him to be Kel'Thuzad," Jaina said, slightly guilty.
Actually, she had her suspicions when she heard the other person introduce himself, but the other person's attire at the time!
Furthermore, the magical power she wielded made it impossible for her to contact the powerful Archmage Council of Six of the Kirin Tor.
The reason is simple: it's too weak!
Upon seeing himself and Arthas, he didn't even cast a single arcane spell, only releasing an undead monster before fleeing in a sorry state.
