Rare things are valuable, such as nobility.
Even if we take the example of the Kaldorei Empire back then or Silvermoon City today, spellcasters are rare.
Even if mages, druids, shamans, etc. are all added up, spellcasters are still a rare race. Adding paladins and priests only doubles the number and cannot make a huge difference.
For spellcasters who rely on talent, mentors, resources, and reputation, the road to promotion is also full of thorns. Even if you are the best person in Dalaran, it doesn't matter.
In such a general environment, the rise of warlocks is actually an inevitable choice for various intelligent groups.
Power has no distinction between high and low, just like a sword, whether good or evil, the most important thing is the person who uses it.
Because of Carlos's push behind the scenes, a new group of spellcasters is accumulating their own power in the dark, trying to make their own voice.
But this is not good, really not good. It is not good for Carlos, the Alliance, or even the Warlock himself.
Because it is too easy to get, it is not cherished enough.
A mage, even a talented mage like Kel'Thuzad, spent two years as an apprentice, five years as a junior mage, four years as a senior mage, and finally became an archmage. And a genius magic girl like Jaina, even if she has a father from an Alliance boss and a master from a Dalaran boss, she still helps people enchant skills for free under the name of an intermediate mage.
Let’s look at the death rate of magic apprentices in Dalaran and the proportion of mages at all levels.
Under the bright arcane light, there is the reality of bones and blood - the path of the mage, where wealth and honor depend on fate, and life and death depend on heaven.
How many young people with dreams of flying have been told by reliable mentors: Your magic talent is limited, and an intermediate mage is already the pinnacle of your life.
How many young girls who dream of becoming successful are deceived by unscrupulous masters: if they want to learn well, they have to sleep with the master, do experiments after sleeping, and never want to see him again.
How many rich and powerful people have been deceived by third-rate swindlers who know how to do tricks, and their wives and children are separated from each other, just because the light of magic is too dazzling.
Behind all of this, in addition to the power and magic of magic, there is also a fact that has been deliberately ignored.
If you want to embark on the path of magic, the price is high, and the threshold is high.
To put it simply, the little person who can become an archmage, even if he does not practice magic, can still rely on his talent to make a living and become the best in other fields.
The reason why archmages are archmages is not because they are more diligent and studious than mid-level mages, but because they have talents far beyond those of all living beings.
Naturally born, there is no room for envy.
But warlocks, warlocks are different.
A warlock's power is essentially a trade.
Make a deal with the shadow, make a deal with the devil, make a deal with your own soul.
Although Carlos is a user of Holy Light, he does not dislike the power of shadow. In other words, Carlos is a supporter of the doctrine of the duality of Holy Light and Shadow.
Therefore, Carlos not only had no prejudice against warlocks, but also had the heart to help.
After all, the real enemy of Azeroth is too powerful, and every bit of combat power is so precious.
But he thinks too highly of himself and underestimates people's hearts.
Making a deal with the shadow is just a fight against the darkness within.
Burning souls is just a way for the caster to exchange for power.
But making a deal with the devil is like making a deal with a tiger.
This cannot be tolerated.
Gul'dan's betrayal came in a hurry and suddenly, so after Hilbrad's defeat, the Alliance seized a large number of orc warlocks' magical weapons and books.
After sealing a batch of dangerous goods, Carlos decisively showed his favor to Dalaran and gave up part of the loot. After reaching a tacit understanding, Carlos almost openly sold the orcs' magic weapons.
Moreover, Carlos also provided some of his own research experience.
However, Carlos underestimated the impact of greed on people's hearts.
How many magic apprentices have thrown themselves into the embrace of the shadows in order to enjoy a moment of power, how many mages have embarked on the irregular path of playing with souls for greater power and glory, and how many ordinary people have stepped into the abyss of power in order to become "Masters".
Behind this is the whisper of demons, the carnival of the twisted void, and the feast of the Burning Legion.
After losing the mother and son Aegwynn and Medivh, the Parliament of Tirisfal has become an empty shell. Humanity has actually lost its trump card to restrain demons.
In less than a year, the Kirin Tor could identify more demonic invasions than in the previous twenty years combined.
What does this mean?
This shows that the group of warlocks are not satisfied with shadows and flames as Carlos imagined. They/they hold hands with the devil.
Before heading to Dalaran, Carlos simply thought something was in trouble. It wasn't until he met Alonsos Faol that Carlos realized how much trouble he was about to face.
It broke the sky.
Blood sacrifice, devil worship, missing children, murder of all...
There is enough evidence to show how evil the orcs' magic is, and how dangerous the sorcerers who study these magics are.
In inviting Carlos to attend this meeting, Dalaran valued not his status as the king of Alterac, but his majesty as a paladin.
The Kirin Tor invited Alonsos Faol to participate in this movement to extinguish magic. Arcane and Holy Light were preparing to join forces to extinguish the Shadow Flame.
The Knights of the Silver Hand and the Dalaran Mage Enforcers will join forces to destroy all warlocks.
And the demonic master behind the warlock.
In Carlos's memory, if we put together a world line, Antonidas's counterattack against the Warlocks was five years later. By that time, Dalaran had already done enough research on the Warlocks' mages and the orcs' tricks. The Warlock's patience reached its limit. The six-person council was fed up with the clamor of the newcomers, and that's why there was a great purge that swept through the entire Eastern Kingdom.
But now, in just one year, the warlocks have become so angry that even Alonsos Faol and the defenders of the Holy Light have stepped forward to fight the final battle against the tribe on the front line. The war against the warlocks will also start in the rear...
Did I do something wrong?
Carlos couldn't help but fall into thought.
Did he really do something wrong by allowing the shadow spell to spread?
Has the fear of the Legion confused his mind?
Is it because I overestimated the human heart or is it just human nature?
There are well-documented murders one after another, various cruel revenge methods, selling one's soul for strength is not enough, parents, brothers and sisters, wives, sons and daughters.
In the face of irrefutable evidence, Carlos felt that he might really be wrong.
Warlocks in the game and real warlocks are definitely not the same thing.
In the game, the Warlock is just a spellcaster who uses the power of shadow, a redeemer in the darkness, and his will and soul belong to many Nephalem.
But in Azeroth, most of the people who are obsessed with the power of shadow are losers, losers, and the bottom class who are unwilling to fail. When these people gain power, revenge is an inevitable choice, and taking refuge in the devil is the natural way out.
The mind that is confused by power does not understand dedication; the eyes that are filled with power cannot see sacrifice.
Maybe there is nothing wrong with the Shadow Road, but now this group of warlocks must be purged.
Before more victims appear.
