Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 88



[Chapter 88 Holy Light Shaman Steve]

Seeing Steve coming over to talk to David, Laura immediately asked: “Do you need me to leave?”

“No.” Steve waved his hand, indicating that Laura didn’t need to leave deliberately: “Actually, I want to ask you something.”

David didn’t say anything, but just looked Steve up and down. After observing for a moment, he suddenly realized: “You feel something, right? Some kind of power responded to you?” After

David said this, Laura also knew why Steve came to David specifically.

There are not many people who have mastered the mysterious power in Winter Village. The Paladin Tirion Fordring is undoubtedly the strongest one. Not only is he strong, but he also has rich theoretical knowledge, solid foundation, and understands the relevant knowledge of the Holy Light.

In addition, there is David who has been studying with Fording for quite a long time.

No one knows what level David’s current strength is, but they only know that he is improving very fast. You must know that David has only been in contact with and studying the Holy Light for a year.

After that, it was Laura who was instilled with the Holy Light by David and then truly recognized by the Holy Light and also mastered this magical power.

Van Cleef counts as half, because the assassins of Azeroth must master how to enter the layer between the real world and the shadow space, which is also a kind of mysterious power, but other than that, there are not many “intersections” between assassins and mysterious powers, so it can only be counted as half.

And then?

That’s it!

In this case, Tirion Fording is not in the village, and the most reliable person to ask for advice is David, so Steve came here.

“What kind of power responded to you?” Laura learned that Steve had realized some mysterious power, and immediately became curious about what profession Steve would choose? “Is it holy light? Could it be arcane? It can’t be Elune, right?”

“I don’t think I’ll get Elune’s attention in this world?” For a few months, even though Steve couldn’t stay in Winter Village every day, he learned about various professions. He didn’t read everything, but just paid attention to the knowledge that interested him. As a result, he always felt weird recently: “I don’t know what kind of power it is. I always feel that everything I see is different now.”

“Oh?” David was very curious. He had never experienced this situation and wanted to know what Steve was like now: “Describe how it feels?”

“Sometimes when I close my eyes, I feel that there are light spots of various colors all around me.” Steve thought about the wording for a while, and then described his feelings in the most straightforward way possible: “These light spots give me all kinds of feelings, and I don’t know how to deal with them.”

In Steve’s description, he has ‘seen’ mysterious purple light streams around him, warm golden light balls, blue light swirls that look like water flows, and thick brown light balls… “

There is also a strange silver starlight, looming, and it feels very far away…”

“…”

Listening to Steve’s description, David spread his hands and made a “see!” gesture to Laura, which made Laura sigh helplessly with her eyes wide open: “Well, when I was able to quickly learn some hunter abilities, I thought I had a good talent. Now I can see what real talent is.”

“Is this normal?” Steve looked at the two people in front of him. Judging from the reactions of David and Laura, what he experienced should not be a bad thing, but a very normal phenomenon.

“Actually, it’s not normal.” David shook his head: “Ordinary people don’t have your talent.”

Although the mysterious side profession itself pays attention to talent, those who can cross the threshold are considered talented, but there is still a big difference between talent and top talent.

Most talented people only realize the corresponding mysterious power after hard study, so they can’t have Steve’s experience: just knocking on the door of the mysterious side, a large group of mysterious powers can’t wait to rush to Steve, allowing him to choose at will.

After explaining the situation to Steve, he never expected that his situation was actually a manifestation of too good talent. He was happy and a little proud: “Then which power should I choose?”

“Which power do you think is closest to you?”

Steve closed his eyes and felt the scene for a while: “That golden ball of light, the feeling is very similar to the feeling you emit when you use the holy light. This is the holy light, right?”

“Yes.” David nodded. It seems that although Steve has good talent and can adapt to multiple mysterious professions, the holy light is still the closest to him: “Which power is the most distant from you? Oh, don’t mention the silver feeling that is very far away.”

“Well…that purple stream of light, this stream of light gives me a very strange feeling.”

“What feeling?”

“It’s as if it wants to get close to me, but can’t get close to me.”

“Oh?” David has determined through Steve’s description that this so-called purple light flow should be the arcane energy used by the mages of Azeroth.

The mages of Azeroth all use arcane, a diverse and easy-to-control energy, as magic, so the basic books on mages brought back by Fording all teach how to identify, mobilize and absorb arcane energy.

In other words, if arcane energy does not exist in his world, then Winter Village cannot train mages with the mage teaching materials of Azeroth.

But through Steve’s description, David knew that arcane energy also exists in this world, but the reaction is a bit strange. Maybe the way of mobilizing arcane energy in Azeroth is not applicable in this world?

He didn’t think too much about it. Anyway, Steve has many choices. He doesn’t have to become a mage. At present, he is more likely to become a user of holy light… Most likely a paladin.

But the reality is much more outrageous than David expected.

After telling Steve not to resist and let go of his guard to accept these mysterious powers, David and Laura witnessed the holy light descending from the void to baptize Steve, making Steve officially a user of holy light.

Everything was normal up to this point, but the next second, a cyclone formed around Steve, followed by gravel floating from the ground, clear water condensed from the surrounding snow, and electric sparks that came out of nowhere, slowly rotating around Steve.

“This…”

David looked at the strange scene in front of him. He had already browsed the general content of all the professions, and with the help of his past memories, he immediately understood what the scene in front of him meant.

“Paladin part-time shaman… Isn’t this combination a bit outrageous?”

He originally thought that after Steve chose the Holy Light, the other mysterious powers would automatically leave, but he didn’t expect that Steve actually gained the right to use two powers at the same time: Holy Light and elemental power.

After thinking about it carefully, the elemental power used by shamans mainly relies on communicating with elemental spirits, or elements (there are also factions that force elements to serve them and use elemental power as arcane). In theory, shamans do not conflict with any profession, and Steve is very good at communication, so it is not particularly strange to gain the recognition of elements.

“Congratulations, you are now a Paladin or Priest, and a part-time Shaman.” David paused, and couldn’t help asking curiously: “Did Elune leave anything in your body?”

“Probably not.” Steve felt it carefully, and there was only Holy Light in his body, and the power of elements was not in his body. This basic energy that constitutes the world is everywhere between heaven and earth, but ordinary people cannot communicate with the elements. Steve

can now feel the existence of these elements and can also “hear” their voices: “What a magical feeling.”

Spreading out his hands, a ball of wind formed a cyclone in his hand, and then shuttled back and forth between Steve’s fingertips, like a naughty elf playing a game with him.

Opening the other hand, the water element also gathered at Steve’s “invitation”. He felt that this group of “water flow” was telling him that he could use this group of energy to heal his injuries.

After expressing his gratitude to the two groups of elements and letting them disperse, Steve condensed a group of holy light in his hand and felt this magical energy flowing in his body.

“For the next period of time, you should mainly look at the training notes of the Paladin. I don’t think you are very interested in the experiences of the priests.” The reason why Steve mainly learned the knowledge of the Paladin was because the knowledge of the Paladin in Winter Village was the most detailed, and there were ready-made top Paladins who could serve as teachers: “As for the knowledge of the Shaman, you can only figure it out by yourself.”

“Will there be any problems if you learn two different abilities at the same time?” Laura suddenly asked a question that Steve was also concerned about.

But David waved his hand with certainty to indicate that it was okay: “Professional barriers are only for ordinary people without talent. Real geniuses learn whatever they want to learn. It is not uncommon to have multiple powers.” He

also used Laura as an example: “You are now a holy light user, but you have learned a lot of hunter skills. Do you think there is a problem?”

“It is indeed very convincing.”

Laura glanced at David. If the division method of World of Warcraft is used, David himself also has several professions. The division of professions in the game is purely for gameplay. The barriers between professions in reality are not that strict.

“Come to think of it, everyone in the village who has mastered the Holy Light has some other profession as well. I wonder what Tirion would think when he sees this situation?”

“This…” If Laura hadn’t said it, David really wouldn’t have thought about it in this way: “Tirion shouldn’t care, right? He has read the chronicles and knows the nature of these powers.”

“He will still have some ideas, right?” Laura felt that Fording would feel a little depressed: he thought he was spreading the way of the Holy Light, but what did he end up teaching?
