8: A chapter in which the protagonist dives
Like in the game, the Mage Area in Storm City, the capital of Storm Kingdom, occupies one-fifth of the city's area.
In this real world, Stormwind City is a "big city" with 200,000 permanent residents, including nearly 500,000 migrant population.
The area of this city covers a full fifth of the area, which is enough for the mages of Stormwind City to have residential area and per capita mage tower possession, which is worthy of the mages in Dalaran, the magic capital of the human kingdom.
Of course, no matter how many houses there are, they cannot represent strength. Compared with Dalaran's mage, the mage of Stormwind City can be regarded as a battle with the five scumbags.
If it weren't for the good relationship between the astral wizard Medivh and Storm Kingdom before, Storm Kingdom would probably not have a mage organization exclusively belonging to it.
Only like the northern countries, the power of the spells was firmly controlled by Dalaran.
A light that represented the city portal lit up in one of the mage towers. The two formal mages passed the portal in a panic and returned to their departure point.
To be precise, only the official mage who was forcibly retorted by Greenhill was a little panicked. Another mage who was responsible for opening the portal was pulled back by his companions without knowing what had happened.
Fortunately, with the end of the Orc War, the city portal, which was originally only used for top mages, has gradually become popular. If it were put in the past, the magic backlash would be enough for the mage who opened the portal to be unable to breathe for ten days and half a month.
"Astadt, what happened? What about our visitors from another world?" The glory of the arcane flashed in front of the two mages. Andomam, a high-level wizard wearing purple robes and a green agate headband, appeared in front of his assistant and asked.
"Sir, a great knight who uses the power of holy light is guarding the visitor from another world." Astart first saluted his tutor and then said in a very respectful tone.
"Great Knight?" The high-level wizard Andomam showed doubts.
Compared with the profession of the mage, which has existed in the human kingdom since the era of the Araso Kingdom, the profession "Paladin" that was born in the orc war just over the past decade was only born in the hands of Archbishop Alonsos Fao, it can be said that new cannot be new.
However, this new profession that combines the combat ability of warriors and the healing ability of priests, has had other old professions as soon as it was born.
After all, this is a new profession born for war, and a war for the survival of race.
In that war that swept across the human world, heroes such as Turayan, Uther, Tirio Fording, Dassauhan, and Gavinlad created their own legends.
Since then, among the human kingdoms, the name knight, especially the title of "Great Knight", is no longer the title of outstanding warrior, but is used to refer to those high-level paladins.
"Is it true? Astart." The advanced wizard Andomam asked again to his apprentice who had already started his master.
"Yes, the power that the great knight has had has been felt by the Duke of Shadongbrick." Astat said with his head down.
"Duke Grayson?" The flashing arcane glory flowed in the pupils of the high-level wizard Andomam. He knew who his apprentice mentioned.
The great mentor of the Paladin of the Storm Kingdom, Duke Grayson Shadonbrick, may not be as famous as the first generation Paladins such as Turayan and Uther.
But as an active soldier during the Orc War, Duke Grayson's strength is unquestionable.
Andomam, a high-level wizard who is also the backbone of the Storm Kingdom, did not have the confidence to defeat Duke Grayson in a fair battle of 1V1.
"Tell me how things happened in detail." said the high-level wizard Andomam.
"Yes, the high-level wizard." Asatt lowered his head and said in a constant respectful tone, including his own attitude and words.
As a formal wizard, Astart knew that it would be meaningless to be fooled in front of a mentor of a high-level wizard.
Moreover, Astart also did not think that his arrogant behavior would cause the mentor's displeasure.
The mage is the most special. When Astart became an apprentice on his first day, he remembered this sentence in his mind.
Astat told his mentor about the encounter with the guardian knight who came from another world.
In the old city of Stormwind City, in a room that never sees light all year round.
The "elite" thief Hanwick, who escaped from Greenhill by the ability of powerful men to oil the feet, was tortured by a series of tortures and had less air intake and much more air out.
Even so, in order to have perhaps only a glimmer of hope of survival, Hanwick, who was tied up in the chain, still struggled to say to the figure in front of him:
"Sir, I know that there is really only so much."
Standing in front of Hanwick and tortured Hanwick was the boss of Stormwind City Military Seven, the famous agent king of Matthias Shore among human countries.
Matthias Shore, who knew how powerful he was, automatically blocked Hanwick in his mind, asked all the colors of his underwear.
All he cared about was something Hanwick revealed when he talked about the "guest from another world".
"Ravenhoud" Is this really just something that an ordinary visitor from another world can know?
Or is this visitor from another world actually, like a demon, has long been peeking at the existence of this world.
As the director of the Storm Kingdom Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau... Ahem, it's serialized, the boss of MI7, Matthias Shore knows many hidden secrets.
For example, what happened to the initiator of the Orc War and the last guardian.
As for why Shore noticed Mi Shan, a visitor from another world, it can only be said that even a high-level wizard may not be able to keep his secrets in the hands of Shore, the ace agent.
"Yes, Lord Shore, the person from another world said that word in person." Hanwick affirmed again.
"Hmm..." Matthias Shore, whose entire face was hidden in the shadow, showed no emotion.
After a deadly silence, Shore said: "The time for the question is over, Rejik, send him a ride."
"No problem, head." Rejik, the goblin (Goblin) assassin code-named Razor, said in a sharp voice exclusive to his race.
"No, no, spare your life, Lord Shore." In the face of death, Hanwick's appearance could not tell that he was a common hired killer.
"Hehehehe, I will let you know why I am called Razor, betrayer." Goblin Assassin, "Razor" Rejik said with a smile.
"No, no." Hanwick, who had served in MI7 and then sold MI7 for a larger price, certainly knew why Rejik was called the bayonet.
In the fear of dying, Hanwick suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "Sir, I remember, I remember that Risenk once mentioned his master."
"Hmm?" Shore's voice interrupted Rejik's "work": "The poison mage and the master?"
"Yes, yes, my subordinates are willing to investigate who the mastermind is behind you." Hanwick was as if he had grabbed the last straw.
However, the shadow did not give Hanwick any reply.
"Big... sir?" Hanwick's expression turned into horror, especially when Rejik smiled again while raising the knife in his hand.
"Ah...!!" I can only say that the punishment house of MI7 has very good sound insulation effect.
It was already the limit to the screams that it was a little outside the house.
Standing outside the punishment house, Matthias Shore looked solemnly at Stormwind City, which was gradually wrapped in the night.
