Warrior skills?
A genius thief learning Warrior skills?
Well, actually, Warrior is the most common profession in the world. Many other professions will often learn a little bit of Warrior combat skills, and some with time and talent will even learn a few Warrior skills.
It's said that the Medivh the Astral Mage is quite skilled in close combat and swordsmanship.
The problem is, you're a genius thief, why aren't you using your time to learn thief skills and strive to become a master thief as soon as possible? Why are you wasting time learning Warrior skills?
And with your skinny little body, you want to be Warrior? Medivh is stronger than you, okay?
If it were a recruitment drive, I wouldn't even want someone like you, you know that?
Marcus felt a slight displeasure, thinking that Jiang Jie was using his status as " Princess Calia's Special Advisor" to cause him trouble. Didn't he know how busy he was? The defense of the entire Lordaeron was no easy task!
" Nicholas, I may not be able to teach you myself. In fact, I haven't fought in a long time, and my Warrior skills have become rusty. How about this, I'll have my guard, Marin, teach you. He's an excellent novice Warrior with a very solid grasp of the skills; he used to be a Warrior trainer at Northshire Abbey!"
Marcus was very polite; it would be disrespectful to refuse a favorite of Princess Calia to her face. He figured Jiang Jie's enthusiasm was just fleeting, so he figured any low-level Warrior would suffice.
Even the most talented person would need several months to learn all the skills of a beginner Warrior, right?
A few months from now, who knows if I'll still be here!
"Oh? Okay, thank you then, General Marcus." Jiang Jie did not refuse and quickly left with a guard, heading towards the nearby Warrior' training ground.
Marcus shook his head, then sat back down in his seat and began processing a large stack of intelligence reports and complaints.
" Baron Storman demands ten guards to protect him and his only son? His own private army isn't enough? I'm here to oversee the defenses of Lordaeron, not to ensure your personal safety, Baron Storman!"
"A suspected Undead has appeared five kilometers to the northwest? Traces of Undead ritual have been found at the scene? This is a serious matter. Notify the mage and Assassins' Order to send assistance. We must find out the truth!"
"Someone in the slums is causing trouble? You're coming to me for this? I'm the city defense general, not a police officer!"
General Marcus grew increasingly angry as he looked at it.
I had no idea the situation in Lordaeron had become so chaotic until I came here!
Refugees poured in, nobles fled, troublemakers stirred up trouble, fights broke out, doomsday rumors spread, and members of Cult of the Damned secretly preached their doctrines...
It's complete chaos!
This is going to be difficult!
General Marcus had finally dealt with a lot of things and was ready to have a cup of coffee to perk himself up.
Just then, someone walked in, looking utterly incredulous, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
" Marin? Weren't you going to teach that... Nicholas, Warrior skills? How come you're back so soon? It's only been... half an hour?" Marcus frowned, wondering if they should strengthen discipline; even his own guards were starting to become lax.
"General, that Nicholas... Nicholas... he's a genius! He... he... he learned all the basic Warrior skills after just one look! His proficiency is even higher than mine!" Marin spread his hands, looking helpless. "Lord Nicholas said he requests that you send another 'suitable' instructor, General."
"Learn all the basic Warrior skills in half an hour? Impossible! Even Lord Lothar, the most outstanding Warrior in Stormwind City's history, the only Legendary Warrior, couldn't have done it!" Marcus jumped up, slammed his hands on the table, and sneered, "I know! Nicholas was originally just a basic Warrior..."
He wants to learn intermediate Warrior skills! That kid's got some nerve! Alright, let Aatrox teach him! Aatrox was a Warrior trainer in Goldshire, that's enough!" Marcus waved Marin away, shaking his head: "What a troublesome kid."
The worldly-wise man concluded that Jiang Jie was merely a low-level Warrior, and the reason he hadn't spoken up earlier was because he felt it was disrespectful to send a low-level Warrior to deal with him, so he deliberately embarrassed him! Sure enough, someone who could become Princess Calia's special advisor, even though he was said to be only 15 years old, was not someone to be trifled with!
To be a high-level rogue and a novice Warrior at just 15 years old—that's unbelievable! You couldn't find many like that in the entire Stormwind City.
That Mathias Shaw Shaw wasn't this good back then, was he?
Amazing, amazing!
General Marcus quickly put the matter out of his mind, as he was far too busy to pay attention to such trivial matters.
Princess Calia just sent someone to him, asking him to spare some manpower to cooperate with the Order of the Silver Hand to send some refugees to Fenris Isle, and also to clean up the Gnoll on Fenris Isle.
Tens of thousands of refugees—this is no simple matter. He needs to think it over carefully, plan it meticulously, and also have a good discussion with " Orcs Slayer " Dagran. His " Maximum Power " is a formidable force within the Order of the Silver Hand. The Gnoll still depends on him!
Marcus quickly found Dagran, but before he could exchange more than a few words, Aatrox came running up to him, panting.
"What's wrong, Aatrox? Did that Nicholas give up? He's pretty smart, knowing to give up in less than an hour? A mid-level Warrior isn't a beginner Warrior; the skill difficulty is much higher, like heaven and earth!"
Marcus sneered, then turned to Dagran and smiled, "Lord Dagran, your princess's special advisor should really be learning thieving skills! I heard Lordaeron wants to train him to be a master thief? Mathias Shaw even said he'd like to meet this genius thief if given the chance!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Dagran's strange expression, and then heard Aatrox's voice rise an octave. "No, General! Lord Nicholas learned all the intermediate Warrior skills in just half an hour! I've never seen such a genius! He requests that you send another 'suitable' instructor!"
"What? Half an hour? Learn all the intermediate Warrior skills? Are you sure?" Marcus couldn't sit still any longer and questioned loudly.
"I'm sure! General, Nicholas is absolutely a true genius Warrior! A born Warrior! I don't think he should be a thief! He should be a glorious Warrior! He will definitely become Legendary Warrior like Sir Lothar! He will become the Lion of Lordaeron!" Aatrox shouted with certainty, his face full of excitement.
Marcus paced back and forth, forcibly suppressing his surprise, then looked at Dagran: "Lord Dagran, is Nicholas not only a high-level thief, but also a mid-level Warrior?"
" Warrior? I swear to the Holy Light, he is definitely not Warrior, at least not before." Dagran was also somewhat surprised, but not as surprised as Marcus, because he had already become immune to it.
Who in all of Lordaeron doesn't know about Nicholas Jiang's Legendary exploits?
The fastest-leveling thief in history!
It's not incomprehensible that someone who can become a high-level thief in such a short time could create another miracle in the same amount of time, right?
