Chapter 30: Arugo, the Undergraduate Student of the Magic Academy
The castle covers a vast area and is majestic and magnificent, with several spires soaring into the clouds, as if piercing the sky.
Alvin was surprised that a lord from a small place could own such a magnificent castle.
The hilt of the Salatath in his arms suddenly vibrated violently, as if it resonated with some kind of magical energy.
The vibration was not a simple tremor, but it seemed as if a powerful force was surging inside the handle, trying to break free from the restraints.
Alvin could feel the power beating in his chest like a frantic heart.
He quickly took out the hilt of the knife, only to see it emitting a faint purple light, as if responding to some invisible call.
His hand involuntarily tightened around the hilt of the knife, and he felt the power passing through his palm and throughout his body.
That familiar feeling is both exciting and daunting.
This is shadow energy!
Before, Alvin used shadow energy to try to connect with Xal'atath, but he always felt that there was a huge space between them.
And now, the power of Sartharion near this castle seemed to have been amplified for a certain period of time, and it actually expanded its power and connected with Alvin.
Alvin felt dizzy and seemed to hear some whispers.
It was a voice that only Alvin could hear, as if telling ancient secrets and endless longing.
"what!"
Alvin screamed and woke up from his stupor. It turned out that Akalitasa saw Alvin holding the hilt of the knife in a daze, so she worriedly grabbed Alvin's hand.
He only felt a warm current coming from Akalitra's palm, dispelling the shadow power just now and instantly merging into Alvin's whole body.
"Huh? What kind of magic is this?"
Alvin asked Akalitrasa in surprise: "So you can do magic?"
But Akalitasa looked innocent, and her two big ruby eyes blinked at her, full of concern.
That power seemed to be displayed unconsciously by her.
"Strange things happen every day, but today is especially full! Akali, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Alvin laughed, stroked Akalitraza's red hair, and put the hilt back into his pocket.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Soon, the vibrations in Sartharion gradually subsided, as if the force was meant to remind him of the unusual nature of this visit.
Suddenly, the voice of the butler Beaver came from the front of the carriage.
"The vast forests from southern Lordaeron to northern Tarren Mill are all the territory of Lord Silvalain. The lord also hates to put on airs and is very kind to the people. He does not impose heavy taxes, and everyone loves him. During every festival, the lord will invite the residents of the town to gather in the castle." He introduced proudly.
"It's clear that even though we only met once last night, the Lord's enthusiasm and straightforwardness left a deep impression on me."
Alvin nodded in agreement, especially the part about me being a playboy – he added in his mind.
The entire castle was built on the mountain. The carriage drove along the winding mountain road and finally stopped at the gate of the castle.
Butler Beaver smiled and helped Alvin open the carriage door, and gentlemanly used his white-gloved hand to hold the upper edge of the carriage door to prevent Alvin from hitting his head.
"Here we are, Mr. Priest."
Alvin nodded, straightened his clothes, and got out of the carriage.
He was shocked to find that there was also a bracelet made of Ao Shui crystal on the wrist of Beaver, which he used to hold the car door!
Is this some kind of Sebchel fashion?
Or is it that the prices have collapsed and arcane crystals are no longer valuable?
It seems that my wish to help Solanlian and Caponia get the arcane crystal is about to come true!
When Alvin looked up, he saw Lord Silvalene already dressed and waiting at the castle gate.
The castle owner was greeting Alvin with a smile.
"Welcome, Mr. Irwin Priest."
"I'm sorry, sir, for keeping you waiting."
Alvin was a little embarrassed, but with the lord's warm welcome, he and Akali Tasha walked into the castle.
The decoration inside the castle is gorgeous and quaint. The walls are covered with exquisite weapons and oil paintings. Candlelight flickers on the crystal chandeliers, reflecting a warm glow.
Lord Silverlaine led them through a long corridor and into a spacious reception room.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Priest,"
Lord Silverlaine was very enthusiastic today and seemed to be in a good mood.
“I hope you feel at home here.”
Alvin smiled and nodded.
After taking his seat, his eyes involuntarily fell on the person opposite him in the living room.
It was a young man wearing a purple wizard robe, very thin, smiling at him.
Alvin seemed to be able to sense the faint fluctuation of magic power around him, so he smiled back at him.
Lord Silvalene saw the two people greeting each other and took the initiative to introduce them.
"This gentleman is the mage consultant I invited from the Kirin Tor. He previously worked with me to quell the threat of wolves in the forest. His name is Arugal. And this..."
The lord emphasized his tone, making it seem particularly solemn.
"This is Mr. Alvin Prestor, the recently famous Miracle Priest! Usually, Master Arugal stays in his lonely magic tower doing research. Today, he heard that the Miracle Priest was coming to visit, so he ran out of the tower and wanted to see the Miracle Priest! Haha, it turns out that the Miracle Priest has much more face than a lord like me."
Arugal smiled shyly and said, "We're all spellcasters, so we might have some common insights into magic, so I wanted to get to know you. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Alvin Prestor."
Alvin quickly said, "I'm honored to meet you, Mr. Arugo, but I want to clarify that most of the rumors you heard about me before were probably just rumors, haha."
"I understand! Rumors, ha, if they are serious, they can also kill people!"
The lord said with a smile, as if he meant something.
"Then please tell me, Mr. Priest, is the part that caused the miracle a rumor, or is the love story with the elves a rumor? Hahahaha!"
Lord Silverlaine asked, then laughed along with Arugal.
Alvin was furious, but Arugal quickly smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I think the latter must be a rumor, because a true spellcaster would not waste his time on boring romances with women, but should focus on magical research, don't you think? Mr. Priest?"
"Ah, that's right!" Alvin then realized that this Arugo was actually a magic nerd, and hurriedly continued what he meant.
But actually, I am a creature that cannot live without love, Alvin thought.
At this moment, Silvaline clapped his hands.
"It's dinner time now, let's eat together."
Then, waiters came in one after another and brought various delicacies. Akalitasa looked at the food and began to swallow his saliva.
But Silverlain held his glass and spoke politely for a long time before finally saying, "Thank you to the Holy Light for allowing us to meet. Cheers everyone."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Then Akali Tasha, like a runner hearing the starting gun, lowered her head and began to show off.
Alvin winked at her frantically, but Akalitasa couldn't see anything else at this moment and just kept eating.
However, the lord did not seem angry, he just looked at Alvin slowly.
"What do you think of the legend of werewolves? Do you think this thing really exists?" the lord suddenly asked.
