Grand Astromancer Solarian

This was the first time Orendo had truly seen a high elven woman, and he could not help but feel a surge of amazement.

Skin like snow, exquisite features, pointed ears, and sapphire-blue eyes. Even the most beautiful actresses on Earth, dolled up with makeup and beauty filters, could not compare to the Quel'dorei woman before him.

Among all the beauties Orendo had seen, only the female mage who had made him dissect demons last night could match her.

The difference was that the female mage possessed a grand, dazzling sort of beauty. The Quel'dorei woman before him possessed the ultimate refined beauty of the feminine.

But Orendo felt not the slightest hint of disrespect, not even any desire to admire her. Because he suspected that this incomparably beautiful elf with the strange gaze might be his—mother!

So far, based on some of Orendo's former memories, he only knew that his father, a lord who had died ten years ago in this life, was said to have been a priest of the Holy Light. His mother had been a high elven woman, most likely a mage.

According to Butler Dobby, the previous Viscount Seferosa had practically been a saint, impossibly kind. The lady, on the other hand, had been very aloof and rarely spoke to anyone at the estate. She had left a little over a year after giving birth to Orendo.

Recalling the few memories in his mind concerning his biological mother and father, Orendo unknowingly put down his book and looked back at the elf whose gaze had remained fixed on him.

She spoke first.

"Orendo Seferosa?" she said.

"Mm..." For some reason, Orendo felt a little nervous.

"I knew your father, Russell Seferosa. I also knew your mother, Lianda." A faint look of reminiscence filled her beautiful face, and her voice was very soft. "My name is Solarian Starsong. I was once your mother's closest friend, and your father's friend as well."

Upon hearing her introduction, Orendo subconsciously let out a breath of relief.

As long as she was not that irresponsible elven mother of his. He was not psychologically prepared to face his mother in this life yet.

Especially a mother so irresponsible that she had run off after giving birth to him.

"Hello. Then, how should I address you?" Orendo put on an innocent expression, taking advantage of his age and appearance.

Although humans matured early in this world, he was a half-elf and only thirteen years old. He still looked completely boyish—roughly like a perfect fantasy version of young Leonardo DiCaprio when he had first debuted.

When he put on that innocent expression, paired with his delicate and handsome face countless times more attractive than TF, his lethality against maternal women went UP, UP, UP!

Just like Solarian Starsong before him. She froze for a moment, then said hesitantly, "You, you... considering my relationship with your mother, I should be your aunt... and considering my relationship with your father, I am also your elder..."

"Auntie, hello! I'm Orendo." Orendo did not hesitate. He immediately called out loudly.

Because a few seconds earlier, the Eye of Truth had revealed the gap between him and the high elf before him.

[Scanning...]

[The difference between the host and this high elven female is like the difference between a mouse and a tiger...]

So whether she was truly his elder or aunt did not matter. Calling her that first could not possibly put him at a disadvantage, especially when she was so beautiful!

Upon hearing that "Auntie," Solarian froze again. Orendo could even make out a trace of helplessness on her peerlessly beautiful face.

Seeing this, Orendo felt a little smug inside. He sensed that his advantage in age and appearance seemed to have a particular effect on women somewhat older than himself.

Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, Orendo suddenly saw a young human emerge from behind the bookshelf behind Solarian.

Kel'Thuzad.

He saw Orendo and Solarian as well. His gaze paused briefly on Orendo's smiling face before the mage walked over.

Kel'Thuzad did not so much as glance at the devastatingly beautiful Solarian. He walked straight to Orendo and stopped a short distance in front of him. "You... found a mentor? Became a formal mage?"

"Uh..." Orendo knew he was asking because he had seen him on the second floor of the library.

Apprentice trainees were absolutely not allowed onto the library's second floor. Even formal mage apprentices could only come up with their mentor's permission.

Kel'Thuzad continued on his own, "That is somewhat unfortunate. I had originally planned to recommend you to my mentor. But if you already have a mentor, then my mentor may have some reservations."

Orendo had originally intended to lie and conceal why he was able to come to the second floor. Hearing Kel'Thuzad's even voice, he pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't have a mentor yet, so..."

"Who said you don't?" At that moment, a voice like wind chimes drifted into his and Kel'Thuzad's ears.

Solarian glanced at Kel'Thuzad and raised her brows. "Master Antonidas's student? I've seen you by his side."

"Greetings, Astromancer Solarian. I've also seen you at Mage Hadren's place." Facing Solarian, Kel'Thuzad, who was also still underage, replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Go back and tell Master Antonidas. Orendo Seferosa has a mentor now, and that mentor is me—Astromancer Solarian Starsong of Quel'Thalas."

"Really?" Orendo saw Kel'Thuzad frown, glance at Solarian, and then look toward him.

Kel'Thuzad truly was Master Antonidas's student, and he had actually planned to recommend him to Antonidas.

That was Antonidas! Perhaps not the most powerful mage in Dalaran, but very likely the best mage in Dalaran at teaching disciples!

Orendo vaguely remembered that nearly half of the later Council of Six had been Antonidas's students.

Jaina and Kel'Thuzad in particular had been among the best of them. One had become the leader of the Kirin Tor, while the other had made all the races of Azeroth tremble at the mention of his name.

The paper he had just been reading had even been written by this archmage when he was twelve.

If he could become Antonidas's student, then as long as his talent was not lacking, he could swagger through Dalaran until the Undead Scourge began.

When he heard that Kel'Thuzad intended to recommend him as Antonidas's student, his heart was moved.

When Kel'Thuzad cast him an inquiring look, he instinctively prepared to shake his head and deny that he was Solarian Starsong's student—Auntie might be beautiful, but she could not possibly be as powerful and knowledgeable as Master Antonidas!

But following Kel'Thuzad's gaze came Solarian's pair of starry eyes—truly starry eyes. Orendo genuinely saw stars in the depths of Solarian's gaze!

A vast, boundless, mysterious, and profound stellar universe. Even time was insignificant within it; light and darkness entwined and spiraled through it, twisting into all manner of phenomena.
