Chapter 8: New Programs

In fact, an idea had been taking shape in Jace’s mind since that day in the basement of the already-slaughtered lamb when he heard the new surgeon, Sulenna, casting a spell.

That would be to hear the spells from these warlocks, then figure out how to memorize the general chanting, and come back and piece them together into a complete spell mastery.

Of course, it was definitely very difficult; a single line of a spell could have dozens or even dozens of words, and luckily for Jace, who had more or less studied languages in his past life, he was still slightly confident in that regard.

And listening to it over and over again, following it silently, as if he’d ever exercised his English listening, it should stick with him for a while.

But this over and over again wasn’t just listening, it meant taking damage from black magic over and over again, which in turn was going to test his resistance.

Next, comes the hardest part, finding the actual original words of these spells.

To this day, human contact with demons has been almost exclusively limited to the Tirisfal Guardian Council, the group of mages who have been working to block demonic infiltration into Azeroth from the Twisted Void since two thousand years ago.

And with the killing of Madivan and the disappearance of his mother, the last true Guardian of Tirisfal, the Tirisfal Guardian Council died in name only, and a great deal of information and canonical texts related to demons were lost.

Not to mention the upper elves who had studied demons in the ancient times, it was a collection that was more than 10,000 years old, and even an ancient book with magical protection would be difficult to pass down to the present day.

At this time, most of the spells learned by the human warlocks in Stormwind City were heard from orcs, some from orc captives, and some tattered spell books found.

And most of these books are damaged or half-destroyed from the war, and what little content can remain becomes priceless, privatized by the powerful warlocks and mages for research and study.

Anyway, these half-baked warlocks who secretly practiced demonic magic in their basements could never have possessed these valuable tomes, they must have listened to the incantations passed down by word of mouth from other warlocks, and then practiced them by searching for “stakes” like Jace to see the effect.

That’s the real reason why the effects of their spells are erratic.

The root of this is that many of the warlocks of this period who secretly practiced dark magic did not know what language their spells were in.

Many even assumed it was some sort of orcish or ogre rune language, and thus went astray instead by pouring over the orcish dictionaries or ogre studies summarized by scholars during the war.

This situation didn’t improve until the Third Orc War, a decade or so later with the Celestial Invasion and the Great Battle of Mount Hyjal.

By then the large number of demons that had entered here through the incursion of the Burning Legion had failed and scattered and fled all over Azeroth, spreading true demonic magic to the locals and believers who worshipped them as gods, and the mass opening of portals had brought Azeroth closer to the Twisted Void, making it easier to summon demons, the

Meanwhile, formed orc and ogre warlocks took refuge in the mountains and abandoned towns, spreading a number of demonic-related spells and languages before ushering in the great growth of Azeroth’s warlocks ……

Unfortunately, that was more than a decade away.

Now, it is quite possible that only Jace in all of Stormwind knows that the incantations of Shadow and Evil magic are not actually Orcish, much less Ogre, but rather a great deal of Demonese, interwoven with a small amount of the Dreadlord’s native language — Nasrezim Ancient, the native language of the Abyssal Lords — Anihilan, and the language of the dark deities in the Shadow Void — Shas’ar language together to weave a complex spell.

He was going to the library to find records on Demonic, or Aeridian, which was, after all, only a class of dialects of Aeridian, when all was said and done.

The next step is to correct these crooked mantras in a truly accurate way to achieve the bends.

After cleaning Mage Marin’s study and walking the rotating walkways of the Mage Quarter, Jace looked down the dreary alleyway that led to the Slaughtered Lamb Tavern and turned the corner toward another of the Mage Quarter’s more popular inns.

This is where most mages who are tired of the snacks and bread in the Wizard’s Sanctuary frequent the famous blue hermit, the Caster’s House.

It was obviously several times more lively than the already slaughtered lambs, with a much more spacious hall, even divided into upper and lower levels.

At the upper railing, a group of drunken young mage apprentices laughed and talked about how well their instructors had done in today’s class, while others predicted how the Alliance’s expeditionary force would drive the evil beasts back to the Dark Gate in the Cursed Lands before destroying that gate once and for all.

It was also mentioned that once the expeditionary force was victorious and the safety of Azeroth was guaranteed, then Storm City, which had been rebuilt in the disaster, would be able to be reborn in fire and metamorphosed into the new star of the alliance, the hope of humanity, and the house price must not rise by ten or twenty times.

Listening to this, Jess felt a tingle go up his spine, damn the natives are just emboldened.

On top of that, their predictions weren’t unreasonable, and if they were just a bunch of nonsense, Jace wouldn’t have cared so much.

Storm Kingdom in the many years that followed have stood, and gradually become the most stable and powerful regime in the human countries, and Storm City, the capital of the kingdom has also become the largest human settlement in Azeroth, and naturally, the price of housing is also rising.

As for how much it can rise to, he can not say, after all, the game has not mentioned the relevant content, he only hope that he can make money to earn more than the rate of increase in housing prices is good.

It’s looking pretty bleak at the moment without a huge change.

But he hadn’t come here to listen to the wind, either, but to plot his next move, stop for lunch, and rest for a while to wait for the afternoon when Amy Marin would hand him his assistant’s emblem.

Seeing him take his seat, the wine waiter came up to him and asked if there was anything he wanted to eat or drink, and Jace felt his scalp go even more numb as he asked the price of a few dishes and desserts.

Especially after hearing the discussion about the future direction of Stormwind City’s economy just now, he felt that buying slightly more expensive things was a sin.

点了一块6个铜币的暴风城乳酪碎，一块干面包片，补充点必备的蛋白质盐分和碳水撑到下午去巫师圣殿白嫖免费点心，别等着等着原地昏倒了就搞笑了。

Thinking about it, his head was already a little dizzy with hunger, and when the “dishes” were served one by one, and he quickly filled his mouth with a few of them, he felt that he finally had the strength to start thinking about what he was going to do next.

Once he had the assistant emblem and he could enter the library, he immediately headed straight for the alchemy and herbology section, his goal – Shadow Protection potions, Shadow Resistance potions, all potions related to resisting the power of the Shadow, combinations, supplements, and so on.

The reason for preparing these Shadow-related potions is for the next trip to the slaughtered lamb.

Running around naked like last time was out of the question, one was too painful, the other was that in the hands of those idiotic warlocks he didn’t know what kind of strange unforeseen consequences of magic he would be subjected to, and had to protect himself as much as he could to safeguard his health.

After all, the body is the capital of the revolution, and when it collapses, there is nothing left.

Once he obtained the recipes for these potions, he went to search for the distribution places of the relevant herbs.

Let him go to buy those herbs is absolutely impossible, before in Lordaeron, even the most common nimbus flowers are sold a few silver a pound, Azeroth’s pound is very close to the imperial pound, about 400 grams less than 1 catty, the other types of herbs he didn’t ask for the specific price, in any case, it won’t be cheaper than the nimbus flowers, or may even be more expensive.

Of course, the most common means common in the game, if according to the previous experience of Jace’s work, if the collection cost of a pound of Nimbus flowers went to the level of one silver or two silver, it could mean that even picking a pound of Nimbus flowers not only required the knowledge of herbalism, the energy and stamina to search for it, but might even require risking one’s life to arrive at the place where it was collected and then transporting it back.

Not to mention the recipes related to those more expensive Shadow Potions, he remembered that most of the Shadow Pills in the game were potions that only started to appear in the teens or even the twenties, and might involve herbs such as the Magic Emperor Grass and the Blood Emperor Grass that got rid of the novice area, and might have to deal with wolves, or even jackals, when the time came.

That’s why it’s necessary to call up Grid, and you can’t just pick the target herbs on the way, you have to pick whatever you can, and try to maximize the earnings of an outing outing so you can make more money as well, and in the meantime, share a little bit more of his payment.

And it had to be during the daytime, he didn’t want to go out at night anymore, once it was nighttime all the demons and devils became rampant a few times over.

Although this will delay some money making time, but …… can these part time jobs in Storm City help him buy a house? No that ability to know it.

Though his adventures a while back had been so thrilling and exciting that they’d even nearly killed him, and he wasn’t quite so brave to take that kind of risk anymore, Jace had realized that those experiences had changed his perceptions a little bit.

The time came in the afternoon and Jace returned to Marin’s study where Amy was waiting for him.

“Your emblem is ready.” Amy said as she took a delicate locket, opened it and pulled out a ring of unknown metal inside, “This is your helper’s emblem, for you alone.”

Jace looked at it carefully, touched it, smelled it, and felt that it was probably copper and shouldn’t fetch much money.

And it was engraved with the initials of his first and last name with arcane magic, and marked with an assistant, so he’d probably be out of luck soon if he sold it.

However, the ring was his entry into the magical world, and he wouldn’t be short-sighted to that extent.

“Thank you, Ms. Marin.”

“Just call me Amy, after all we may be spending a lot of time together from now on, speaking of which, is there anything else I can do to help?”

“Uh.” Jace’s eyes swept around the den and said, “I’d like to borrow a scroll.”

He needed a scroll to memorize the recipe, and the general location, and if he relied on his brain alone to remember it, it would be a big loss if he missed something that led to a wasted trip.

The paper and ink and carving related stores sold things at prices that were like robbery, and he didn’t even consider stepping in.

Amy took a paper scroll and handed it to Jace, who thanked her and took the emblem and rushed to the Sorcerer’s Sanctuary.
