"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lorna." At the Pyrewood Village, Jiang Jie waited for half an hour before finally meeting the legendary prince lover.
A dozen or so soldiers from the Gilneas Brigade were fully armed. A graceful figure stood with a gun at her side, wearing a light brown dress and a fiery red rose in her hair. She was heroic and radiant. At her feet, two fierce dogs, one black and one red, sat arrogantly, loyally guarding their master.
She is Lorna Crowley, the daughter of Lord Darius.
Lorna is probably not even twenty years old yet, or to be precise, a minor or just turned 18.
Jiang Jie was certain that this beautiful rose was definitely not a powerful Warrior or thief, but rather a hunter who preferred single-barreled shotguns. She was said to have amazing marksmanship and was brave and decisive. Her appearance was not exactly heroic and dashing, but rather somewhat charming and alluring. However, no one could underestimate her.
This is a rose with thorns.
The Crowley Family members are all known for their fiery tempers!
Basically, if you push them too far, there's no one in this world they wouldn't dare to curse or fight. If you really displease them, there's only one word. "Fight!"
" Nicholas, Earl of Lordaeron? When I received the news, I thought I had misheard! You're the one who convinced that bastard Genn to let us leave Gilneas and return to our own territory? Thank you!" Lorna glanced at Anveena beside Jiang Jie, a contemptuous smile on her face, "Bringing a delicate little girl to war, are you here for a trip?"
"You!" Ivan, standing beside Jiang Jie, was furious and about to step forward to teach this arrogant noblewoman a lesson. Jiang Jie smiled and waved his hand to stop him, "It's alright, Miss Lorna means no harm. Anveena, tell Miss Lorna that you're not just a pretty face who can't fight!"
"Yes, Nicholas. On my way here, I flipped through the mage apprentice textbook that Kael'thas used before, and it doesn't seem as difficult as you said, it's quite simple." Anveena agreed, raising her delicate little hand, preparing to cast a spell.
On the way here?
I flipped through it once?
Textbook for Dharma Master Apprentices?
Lorna's contemptuous smile deepened.
She's someone who believes in "seeing is believing"!
Although Earl Nicholas was renowned, she didn't believe the legends were true until she saw them with her own eyes!
Humans have an extraordinary ability to spread rumors and exaggerate!
Now it seems, it's not all that great after all!
Bringing out a little girl who looks like she's just started learning magic—does this really think this is a vacation? Have you really seen the terrifying Undead? Are all those legends just lies?
Young lady, although I'm not a mage and haven't studied magic, I know that casting spells requires a staff! Casting spells barehanded is possible, of course, but that requires at least a high-level mage, right? Do you, a little girl, have such strong control over your magical power? You think you can cast spells without magical items?
"Hmm, first set up the spell nodes, then complete the spell circuits, and connect all the spell circuits together..." Anveena said seriously, because this was really her first time casting a spell. She had been reading books the whole way and hadn't had time to try it out yet.
However, as she traced the lines with her fingers, the Arcane energy became as if it were her own pet, completely obeying her commands and going wherever she told it to. The spell nodes were set up in an instant, then the spell circuits were completed, and then the entire spell was finished.
The whole process took only five seconds!
Such casting speed is absolutely not something a mage apprentice should be able to achieve; only high-level mages can do it!
This precise control over magical power is something that even many Archmage, let alone high-level mages, cannot achieve!
This cannot be explained by "practice makes perfect" or "strong mentality"; it is talent, a talent that even the Blue Dragon cannot match!
The next moment, a series of Arcane Missiles were launched from Anveena's hand and fired at a large tree not far away.
One, two, three...
Five,
Seven, ten... A typical Arcane Missiles should be launched in groups of three, three times in a row, for a total of nine. This is the optimal spell model that has been passed down for over ten thousand years. Of course, high-level mages can launch more at once by slightly modifying the spell model.
However, mage apprentices cannot do it because such spell models are too difficult, and mage apprentices do not have enough mana to support such enhanced spell models.
However, Anveena did it!
Not only that, but her magical power seemed inexhaustible; Arcane Missiles kept firing outwards, one after another, showing no sign of stopping...
Her target was a tree so large that three people could barely encircle it; even a high-level mage, let alone a mage apprentice, couldn't possibly blast it down with Arcane Missiles.
However, under Anveena's relentless Arcane Missiles, the bark exploded first, then debris flew everywhere on the trunk, and at a visible speed, a hole appeared that grew larger and larger, eventually piercing through the entire tree!
What's even more surprising is that the holes in the tree were perfectly round, meaning all the Arcane Missiles hit the same spot, creating this effect.
"Hmm, it's noted in the textbook that Kael'thas modified this spell. Arcane Missiles can be fired indefinitely, as long as there's enough mana. He's truly a genius..." Anveena frowned her beautiful brows, reached for an ancient spellbook, and carefully flipped through it. "But I only fired 36 before it broke. There must be some spell node position I forgot, causing the spell model to be unstable. I need to look at it again..."
Watch it again...
Not only was Lorna stunned, but everyone present was stunned, even Jiang Jie was stunned!
As expected of the embodiment of the Sunwell, she managed to make a simple Arcane Missiles appear as a high-level spell, and that's only because she'd only read the tutorial once...
If she were to learn even more powerful spells, the effects would probably put even the Archmage to shame.
Who is a genius?
Jaina Antonidas Kael'thas
No, no, Anveena is the real genius!
It's not a person, it's... a well!
" Nicholas, you're not being honest! Anveena? She's a high-level mage, isn't she? Such a young high-level mage, amazing! Jaina from Kul Tiras is nothing special, is she?" Lorna sneered, secretly calculating, and finally concluded: if it really were a life-or-death battle, her musket could take Anveena's life before the opponent could cast a spell!
She actually glanced at the spellbook secretly, but unfortunately, she couldn't recognize a single word of the High Elf script.
She thought to herself: This little girl is terrifying! She doesn't seem to be acting; is she really just starting to learn magic? Is she even human? She's not human, is she? Jaina wasn't this powerful at her age, was she?
"Ahem." Jiang Jie sensed the awkwardness of the situation and quickly said, "Miss Lorna, please take us to see Lord Darius. We are new here and need to understand some things."
"Okay, come with me." Lorna gave Jiang Jie a grateful look; this was a way for her to save face, otherwise she really wouldn't know how to end things perfectly.
