Chapter 404: Learning Spells from Khadgar
Chapter 404: Learning Spells from Khadgar
After the meeting, Emperor Llane summoned his ministers, while Su Yu was escorted to a side chamber to rest. To prevent Su Yu from causing any trouble, Khadgar and Sylvanas stayed by his side, making it impossible for him to wander the city and complete any quests to pass the time.
However, Emperor Llane did not forget to entertain his distinguished guest. During the meeting, he ordered his guards to bring Su Yu a variety of fruits and pastries native to the continent. To Su Yu's surprise, he even sent over five young and attractive girls!
These girls, aged around 14 to 16, were in the prime of their youth. They wore bright, somewhat revealing clothes and lined up in front of Su Yu, each holding a fruit or pastry tray.
The most beautiful of the girls smiled sweetly and spoke in a soft, melodic voice to Su Yu, who was seated on the main chair, "Lord Bane, His Majesty has sent us to serve you. During your stay in the side chamber, you can ask us to do anything you desire!"
Su Yu stroked his chin. "Really, anything?"
"Of course."
"..."
Was this some kind of beauty trap? But Su Yu wasn't falling for it.
If he accepted these girls and Llane secretly recorded it with a magical image and showed it to Alia, her opinion of him would plummet to negative territory!
"Fruits and pastries can stay, but you girls can leave," Su Yu said sternly.
"Please, no! How about a dance for you?" The lead girl removed her coat, revealing ... well, let's just say her shoulders.
She gestured for the other girls to spread out and prepare to dance for Su Yu. But Su Yu remained unmoved.
With a wave of his hand, he cast Sheep on all five girls, turning them into bleating sheep that fell to the ground.
Su Yu let out a sigh of relief.
The scene was quite a temptation, and a normal man might not have resisted it.
He glanced around the side chamber.
Sylvanas was polishing her bow, not looking in his direction, showing no interest.
Khadgar, in the form of a raven, perched on a coat rack by the door, reading a book. Seeing Su Yu's action, he looked up and said, "Bane, I didn't expect you to be more interested in beasts than people. We have a few nobles in our country who share that interest. Should I and Sylvanas leave to avoid disturbing you?"
Khadgar assumed Su Yu had a unique fetish when he saw him turn the girls into sheep.
Su Yu: "..."
"I have no interest in the kind of 'beast' you're talking about!" Su Yu felt a headache coming on.
Khadgar must have read too many strange books, leading to some rather peculiar thoughts.
How could anyone be interested in sheep? Maybe something like a cat like Morningstar would be more appropriate ... cough.
Su Yu shook his head, dispelling the odd thought from his mind.
Looking at Khadgar again, Su Yu had an idea. He pulled a book from his necklace, Introduction to Arcane Studies: From Beginner to Expert.
Khadgar had given him this book on the day he ascended to the Holy Domain. Su Yu had read it before but found much of the advanced knowledge difficult to understand. This was the perfect opportunity to ask for help.
Su Yu flew to the coat rack and looked up at the raven perched there, "Master Khadgar, I have many questions about this book. Do you have time to help me understand it?"
Hearing Su Yu's request, the raven looked up from his book, clearly hesitating.
But considering Su Yu was a guest and there was a potential for cooperation between their nations, Khadgar put his book away and flew down from the rack. "Alright, if there's anything you don't understand, I'll do my best to help you."
Thus, Su Yu began his studies in arcane magic under the guidance of Khadgar.
Khadgar is arguably the most profound scholar of arcane magic in the entire game world.
With his guidance, Su Yu's understanding of arcane magic soared to new heights!
Chime! Congratulations on successfully mastering the second-tier area spell, Arcane Explosion!
Chime! Congratulations on successfully mastering the second-tier utility spell, Create Food and Water. You can now use this skill to create magical bread and water.
Chime! Congratulations on deepening your understanding of Mirror Image! Mirror Image has been upgraded to Enhanced Mirror Image. Each mirror image you create can now mimic your spells, dealing 10% of the damage of the original spell.
Chime! Congratulations on successfully mastering the first-tier attack spell, Arcane Missiles.
One notification after another appeared in Su Yu's game log.
However, he paid them no mind, continuing to focus on his studies with Khadgar.
Arcane magic, like spatial and elemental magic, is a vast and deeply buried treasure trove. The more he learned, the more he would benefit for life!
As Su Yu delved into his studies, the five "sheep" stood motionless, watching him intently.
Eventually, Su Yu grew impatient and cast the newly learned Sleep spell on the "sheep." They all slumped over and fell asleep.
Around 3 PM, the meeting with Emperor Llane finally concluded.
A guard in silver armor entered the side chamber and bowed to Su Yu.
He respectfully said, "Lord Krysin, the Emperor requests your presence."
Hearing the guard's words, Khadgar let out a sigh of relief.
He no longer had to waste time teaching Su Yu! He had already spent 7 hours on him!
Sylvanas also perked up and stood. "Come, Krysin. Let's go see the Emperor."
"Alright," Su Yu replied, feeling a bit regretful.
If he could, he would have continued learning from Khadgar. After all, such a rare opportunity to learn from a master for free didn't come around often.
But the matter at hand was important, and he needed to attend to it first.
At that moment, the guard noticed the five sheep lying asleep on the ground and was taken aback. "My lords, these five sheep...?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about that," Su Yu said, waving his hand to dispel the transformation and sleep effects on the "sheep." He then tossed a piece of clothing to the leader of the group.
Without another glance, Su Yu followed Khadgar out of the side chamber.
In the main hall, the ministers had dispersed. Only Emperor Llane and Anduin remained, just as they had when Su Yu left.
Emperor Llane looked somewhat weary, lacking the regal presence he had displayed in the morning.
After a 7-hour meeting, combined with his advanced age, it was understandable that he was feeling drained.
Seated on the Iron Throne, Emperor Llane sipped on a new tea from the Pandaren Empire and said kindly to Su Yu, "Krysin, after our lengthy discussion, we have decided to cooperate with your country!"
"That's wonderful! I'm sure Empress Alisa will be thrilled to hear this news!" Su Yu smiled. "I hope our two nations can work together smoothly to bring the war criminals in the Windchime Empire to justice!"
