The mentors are well-paid, even comparable to those in Dalaran, and that's not all.
When they heard that becoming an instructor at the magic school would give them the opportunity to visit and study in Karazhan, and even borrow its Stromgarde Karazhan, but also many mages from Dalaran traveled great distances to inquire about the details.
Karazhan is too attractive to mages; few can resist it.
What's even more interesting is that the two Archmage, " The Violet Eye " Alturus and Leryda, who had been stationed near Karazhan for so many years without ever being able to enter Karazhan, immediately expressed their desire to teach and educate. They didn't even greet the Archmage Ansirem before heading straight to Stromgarde to request an audience with Jiang Jie.
There's no way around it, these two are just too resentful!
For years, he had been trying to enter Karazhan, but he had failed and even lost many of his men. Later, he discovered the abnormal fluctuations in Karazhan and was about to do something when he was taught a lesson by Aegwynn.
The legendary strongest Keeper had appeared, leaving them both shocked and desperate: how could they possibly plan to attack Karazhan now?
They were then recalled to Dalaran to participate in the arduous task of rebuilding Dalaran, but their longing for Karazhan remained.
So how could they possibly resist the chance to enter Karazhan?
In fact, Jiang Jie suspected that if Archmage Ansirem Kirin Tor Modera hadn't held such high positions and borne such great responsibilities, Dalaran probably would have come over too!
It is said that after learning that Alturus and Leryda had left without saying goodbye, Archmage Ansirem immediately issued a strict order: no mage was allowed to leave Dalaran, lest Dalaran lose its talent.
To this end, he even went so far as to expend a large amount of Ley Line energy to activate the Violet Citadel Barrier!
Although Jiang Jie had no intention of replacing Dalaran, Archmage Ansirem probably took it seriously.
After all, Jiang Jie's reputation is currently at its peak. He guards Karazhan, has Aegwynn and Meryl as his backers, and even has a good relationship with Krasus and Kael'thas. If he really had such thoughts, Dalaran in real trouble!
With two Archmage joining the team, Jiang Jie naturally had no reason to turn them away. So he specially appointed the two Archmage as visiting professors at the Stromgarde School of Magic, allowing them to retain their status as Kirin Tor Archmage, with generous compensation.
As for the principal of the magic school, Jiang Jie naturally took on the role, while Anveena clamored to be the vice principal, to which Jiang Jie readily agreed, though she certainly wouldn't be involved in any affairs; it would just be a title.
The two Archmage were initially somewhat reluctant.
Being managed by Jiang Jie, an outsider, is one thing, but after all, Jiang Jie is the Grand Duke of Stromgarde, and his status is too high, so there's nothing that can be done.
But what's wrong with you, a little girl?
However, after a long, "friendly" conversation, the two dejected Archmage acknowledged Anveena's status.
joke!
Anveena's time spent learning from Aegwynn has paid off.
She is an embodiment of energy, on par with Aluneth, and even has an advantage over Aluneth due to her Blood of Azeroth; Arcane energy is essentially her domain.
She is very intelligent. She became a high-level mage in just a few months before, and now she has been Aegwynn for almost three months. She may not be as broad in terms of magical knowledge as the Archmage of Dalaran, but if we only talk about casting ability and spell power, I dare not say that she can compare with Jaina and Rhonin, these two ordinary Archmage are really not as good as her.
The title of Archmage is very useful.
After a brief publicity campaign, a large number of people immediately signed up. Even nobles from other places rushed to send their children to Stromgarde to study. Some even bought property and opened shops in Stromgarde for their children, contributing to the prosperity and post-war recovery of Stromgarde.
The best places to learn magic are Silvermoon City and Dalaran.
Silvermoon City does not recruit students from other races.
Having money and power is useless. The difficulty of getting into Dalaran to study magic is too great. Either you are extremely talented and lucky enough to be favored by a Kirin Tor mage, or you must be from a wealthy family who can provide enough money to sponsor the construction of Dalaran and pay the school fees. Otherwise, forget about it.
In addition, Stormwind City in the south and Lordaeron in the north both have mage districts, but becoming a mage's apprentice, while not as difficult as studying in Dalaran, is still quite challenging.
Stromgarde School of Magic, however, has no such restrictions.
Jiang Jie issued an order: Anyone of any race, regardless of status, may come to Stromgarde for testing. As long as they pass the test, they can become students of the Magic Academy. The tuition fee is five gold coins per year, and other fees will be calculated separately.
However, for those from Stromgarde, or even anyone from Arathi Highlands, tuition is completely free.
Five gold coins!
Even for ordinary families, tightening their belts would be enough to scrape together the money, not to mention those willing to learn magic, who are generally not poor and usually have tens or hundreds of gold coins in assets. This cost is much less than in other places.
If you really want to use connections to learn from a mage, even just an ordinary mid-level mage, it will cost at least a hundred gold coins.
This policy has been extremely effective!
In less than a month, they recruited 500 students.
However, according to Archmage Alturus's estimate, out of five hundred students, at most one hundred would have the chance to become formal mages; at most thirty would have the chance to advance to intermediate mages; and at best, ten would have the chance to advance to advanced mages.
As for the Archmage?
Sorry, it's too difficult, I can't guarantee it.
There's nothing we can do about it; after all, only a minority can come here for testing. And the two Archmage certainly can't compare to those in Dalaran, or even the mage districts of Stormwind City and Lordaeron.
However, Jiang Jie was already quite satisfied. Two Archmage at the start, that's good. He'd deal with the rest later.
The direct effect of this measure was that Stromgarde gained thousands more people, most of whom were from wealthy families and were mainly there to accompany their children to school, bringing in a great deal of wealth.
It wasn't just those accompanying their children to school; there were also businessmen.
Generally speaking, mages are very wealthy and know how to spend money, so many merchants saw the business opportunity and flocked to Stromgarde to open shops, Stromgarde much more prosperous than it was two months ago.
After the portal opened, the Maiden of Virtue arrived at Stromgarde and became a stone statue in front of the Stromgarde Temple.
Of course, Jiang Jie also did some publicity, so everyone knew that the Titan Keepers, Tyr's Lord of Order, and a Legendary user of Holy Light had become the gatekeeper of the Stromgarde Temple.
Many people exclaimed at the miracle, and as a result, even more people came to the Stromgarde Temple to pray, with quite a few becoming novice Priest or Paladin.
A month after this incident, several unexpected visitors arrived at the Stromgarde Temple, even alarming Jiang Jie.
There were four people in total, all of whom Jiang Jie had heard of: Tavard, Gavard, Ivaria, Duvar.
They are Tyr's Guard.
When Tyr died in battle, some Vrykul stayed near Tyr's Tomb to guard it, and they became the original Tyr's Guard.
Later, the Curse of Flesh caused them to regress into humans, and they continued to guard Tyr's Tomb.
The Tyr's Guard has been through countless wars, such as the Orcs Wars and the Scourge Wars, and their numbers have dwindled until now only four remain.
These Tyr's Guard are among the oldest believers and users of the Holy Light, the original Paladin, and each one is quite powerful.
Tavard, Gavard, Ivaria, and Duvar —the latter three are equivalent to High-Ranking Paladin, with Tavard even being equivalent to a Grand Knight.
After Tyr's Tomb was destroyed, they rushed back from other places to find the entire Tyr's Tomb flooded and Tyr's power completely gone, leaving them disheartened.
When they heard that Uther the Lightbringer had obtained the Silver Hand, their mood improved. After all, they knew Uther's name and thought that Uther was barely worthy of Tyr's weapon. Therefore, they believed that Tyr's Guard's mission was complete and it was time for them to return to history.
But the appearance of the Maiden of Virtue excited them once again.
They have an ancient heritage that records information about ancient Titan-forged, including Maiden of Virtue.
It could even be said that the Maiden of Virtue was one of the original leaders of the Tyr's Guard, and many of the Tyr's Guard learned their ability to use the Holy Light from the Tyr's followers, including the Maiden of Virtue!
The appearance of Tyr's followers made them restless, so they came to Stromgarde together to seek an audience with the Maiden of Virtue.
Jiang Jie naturally tried his best to persuade them to stay, and with the influence of the Maiden of Virtue, the four Tyr's Guard chose to stay, retaining the name " Tyr's Guard " and rebuilding this ancient Paladin organization.
Stromgarde now has an even stronger protective force.
