An ether spirit is similar to the mana wyrms of Silvermoon City, but mana wyrms have their own consciousness and are considered living creatures. An ether spirit can only be controlled by Mages and is an item.
Gale tested an ether spirit and found that an ether spirit has the characteristic of absorbing Arcane Energy. In particular, transformed Arcane Energy, after being absorbed by an ether spirit, quickly restores itself. Even after being converted into various elements, if absorbed by an ether spirit, its restoration speed will be accelerated.
Although Gale didn't know what this function was for yet, he felt that an ether spirit would definitely be of great use in the future.
When he walked out of the laboratory, Sethonis and the three Mages had almost finished making the spellbook.
Gale told the three Mages how to create an ether spirit, asking them to observe an ether spirit long-term, test its other abilities, and find out how to use it.
The three Mages returned to the laboratory to try and create an ether spirit.
Sethonis was a bit speechless, "If you keep changing your orders like this, it will be difficult to train them."
"They are already mature Mages; they should know which direction they are suited to develop in."
"You want them to try more things?" Sethonis asked.
Gale hinted, "That's right. You need to know that everyone's talent and interests are different. Some people are clear about their talents, and their interests lie in that area, so they will grow very quickly. If a person's interests and talents conflict, their growth will be slow."
Sethonis agreed, "You're right, they really should know where their talents lie."
Seeing that he didn't take it to heart, Gale couldn't help but say, "It's not just them, it's the same for us. Sometimes talent and interest conflict. If you follow your interests, you will only achieve half the results with twice the effort. But if you follow your talent, even if we are unwilling, we can still achieve twice the results with half the effort."
"I know!" Sethonis said with a smile, "Keep a humble heart, you often say that."
Gale turned around, his eyes almost rolling to the ceiling.
He had made it so clear, yet this idiot still hadn't understood. He now regretted bringing Sethonis over; where had his intelligence from the academy gone?
Sethonis watched Gale walk out of the library and sighed softly.
"It's easy to say, but truly achieving it is too difficult. Why is everyone's talent different? Fate is truly so unfair!"
Just as Gale was about to tell Sethonis to accept his fate, a military report was delivered to the Eternal Palace.
Azshara gathered Savis and others to discuss state affairs, "Troll scouts have reappeared in Heda'shal. The First Legion sent scouts to probe the Stormheim direction and found that the Trolls have once again assembled tens of thousands of troops and have reached the Runewood area."
A Royal Mage said, "Your Majesty, is there any news of the Vrykul? In the past, when the Trolls attacked, those Vrykul would always clash with the Trolls."
Savis waved his hand and said, "Let's not count on those barbarians! They couldn't even guard Aggramar's treasury, let alone other places. Perhaps they've been scared witless by the Trolls and don't even dare to resist."
Azshara said, "The Vrykul seem to have encountered some trouble; the Trolls have cut off the rivers they live by, forcing them to go to the northern waters for food."
"It seems the Trolls came prepared; we must make defensive preparations as soon as possible." A Royal Mage suggested, "The First Legion hasn't withdrawn yet, so let them establish a defensive line in Heda'shal first, then transfer a group of Mages to support them. That should hold until other armies arrive."
"The First Legion is now equipped with Sanction Swords, and there are also many Sanction Blades and Wind Power, which can completely block the Troll Army. However, the Mages sent to support need to be carefully selected, preferably those who understand the Trolls very well. Otherwise, if they just follow the orders of the First Legion, I'm afraid many more people will be lost."
Savis's eyes narrowed. During this time, microscopes had become widespread in Sin'dorei, and the giant microscopes he had bought with a large amount of eternal gold had become common goods, which made him feel as if he had been scammed by Gale. So, hearing about Sanction Blades and Wind Power, weapons made by Gale, it would be strange if he were in a good mood.
"Speaking of understanding the Trolls, none of us are as good as Gale Morninglight. Archmage Gale can produce so many weapons that restrain the Trolls; it's likely that no Kaldorei in the entire empire understands the Trolls better than him."
Hearing Savis's words, the Mages nodded in agreement.
However, some Mages expressed concern: "Indeed, no Kaldorei understands the Trolls better than Archmage Gale, but Archmage Gale is too young, and I'm afraid he is not enough to command Mages."
"Archmage Gale has a lot of experience commanding Mages and is fully capable of the task."
"Fighting a war and crafting a crown are not the same thing."
The Royal Mages began to argue amongst themselves. Savis's faction wanted Gale to command the Mages to the front lines. Ambassador Veridis's side, however, did not want Gale to go.
Firstly, Gale was indeed young and would be difficult to command respect. Secondly, Gale's value in staying in Sin'dorei was greater.
Azshara felt a strange mix of emotions; her feelings for Gale were also complex. Regardless, Gale was someone she had recruited, and sending him to the front lines so abruptly was indeed too dangerous. But whenever the crown was mentioned, Azshara was filled with anger; she always believed Gale had tampered with the crown.
Hearing the constant bickering between the two sides, in her exasperation, she slammed her hand on the armrest of the throne.
"Bang!"
Arcane Energy rapidly vibrated, causing everyone to stop arguing.
Azshara majestically scanned the Mages, "Order Gale Morninglight to lead the Mages to Heda'shal…"
Veridis quickly said, "Your Majesty, why not appoint Gale as quartermaster? His forging talent can ensure the supply of all soldiers on the front line."
Azshara pondered for a moment. If Gale were appointed quartermaster, it would also allow another respected and experienced Mage to be appointed as commander.
"Then appoint Gale Morninglight as quartermaster, responsible for the supplies on the Heda'shal front line."
Savis lowered his head in annoyance, "Your will is the direction of my progress!"
The reason he recommended Gale to command the Mages was that he wanted Gale to make a mistake. If he could use this to eliminate Gale, it would not only allow him to vent his anger but also weaken Prince Farodis's influence.
As a result, Veridis's interruption changed things.
However, did they think this would make him give up?
Savis sneered inwardly: Without money, I'd like to see how Gale provides supplies.
Gale was surprised when he received the order. He was just about to rely on the energy of the Well of Eternity to advance to Archmage! Why was he being sent to the front lines to be a quartermaster?
