The first half of the 21st year of the Black Gate slowly dissipated in the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Hyjal, which seemed uneventful, but the second half of the year was turbulent, from the bombardment of Northrend by the Eye of Sargeras, which led to the appearance of the Titan Ruins, to the sudden Battle of the Dragons, everything made the real bigwigs hiding under the curtain of peace feel that the world has become a little unreal for a moment.

In addition to the 20 years of the Black Gate Disaster and the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the emergence of four major events in a row seems to indicate that 10,000 years of peace have been broken, and the whole world seems to have entered a path of calamity and disorder.

And in the eyes of those who really know how to do it, all these changes are inseparable from one person.

A mysterious knight who rose from the north to shine in the scourge of the undead, then participated in the Battle of Hyjal, helped the Demon Hunters bombard Northrend, and was finally recognized by the Dragonlords in the War of the Dragons.

It is often said that the way to measure a person's worth is to look at his friends and his opponents.

From this point of view, the mysterious fire of justice, the Dawn Knight Dick Tang, is really a real legend, and the attention of the upper echelons will naturally attract a lot of discussion from the lower echelons, especially in April of the 22nd year of the Black Gate, when the envoy of Theramore visited Stormwind City, the singing of the elven troubadours who came with the team made the Dawn Knight veil even more mysterious.

In the 21st year of the Dragon War of the Black Gate, the residents of Lakeside Town in the Stormwind Kingdom saw the dragon that covered the sky and the sun, which was almost a myth and legend.

Especially after the archbishop of the Cathedral of Light, Saint Benedictas personally conferred the title of "Knight of the Dawn" on Dick, Dick of Theramore and Mograine, the Ashbringer active in the north, became the two spokesmen of the Paladin.

Rumor has it that the Knight of Dawn took his noble wife to seclusion in the Northshire Abbey after the Battle of the Dragons, and when the world faced disaster again, he would still stand up.

It is also rumored that Dick was honored by the elves as a guest, and even the High Priest of the Moon was committed to marrying him.

The most exaggerated rumor is that the Knight of the Dawn is actually dead, in the knightly civil war in the northern frontier. The reason is that anyone who has seen Dick knows that he wears the insignia of the Silver Hand on his chest, and it is known that at the end of the 22nd year of the Black Gate, the Scarlet Crusaders, who had received military support from the Stormwind Kingdom, officially broke away from the Silver Hand, and the two fought fiercely, resulting in a crushing defeat for the Silver Hand, giving up most of the garrison of East Darloimir.

Eventually, thanks to the intervention of Silver Dawn and the Elven Empire of Quel'Thalas, the Silver Hand was able to preserve the Chapel of Light's Wish, which was almost scattered.

That was the last time Dick-related matters appeared in the eyes of the world, and since then, the Knight of Dawn has not been heard from.

In the 23rd year of the Black Gate, almost 2 years have passed since the Battle of the Dragons, and 2 years is enough for a lot of things to happen, such as no one talking about Dick anymore, and now even Theramore himself hates the ruler of Kurtiras, the hero of mankind, "Admiral" Dailen Prodmoor, who is about to visit the country.

Dick is like a shooting star, so brilliant when it crosses the sky, but the silence is also extremely fast, and it disappears in a flash!

"Bell, bell, bell!"

A very regular beating sounded in the guard camp of the King of Theramore, a scorching furnace, the most popular furnace for forging in Azeroth, and Dick was bare-chested, holding a black hammer in his hand, and his face was very serious as he pounded on a longsword that had been roughly formed.

This longsword is a template for the classic knight's sword popular in Azeroth, but it is shorter than other knight swords, its whole body is silver, and the handle that is put aside is also very simple and atmospheric, without too much texture modification, and the holy aura that comes from its sword body can also be seen that this is a real magic weapon.

This weapon is one of the best in Azeroth, usually with good special effects and very sturdy.

This sword was carefully forged by Dick for a month, using the drawings of the "True Silver Holy Sword" in his forging list, although it took a lot of effort, but it was only 2 years, and Dick's forging level naturally could not improve too quickly, and considering the age of the user, it was deliberately made into a style between a short sword and a long sword, so the quality of this sword is actually only blue.

But for its incoming owner, a weapon of this level is actually enough.

"Bang. ”

The door to the forge was pushed open, and Anduin, dressed in a white shirt and blue coat, entered, holding a letter in one hand and a small cloud of warm light in the other, which changed shape in his nimble little hands, sometimes a rabbit, sometimes a horse, and finally a lion and a boar.

The little prince must have just had lunch, and the eldest princess of Kalia was strict with him, personally serving as Anduin's etiquette teacher, and that kind of scene of eating in a proper manner was not only a painful experience for Anduin, but even for Dick.

"Mentor, Madion has sent a letter inviting us to attend his coming-of-age ceremony in Karazhan at the end of this month!"

Anduin dispersed the light, and then said with great interest that he had been in Theramore for two years, and compared to when he first arrived, he had faded into a delicate and youthful state, and his body was much stronger, and although he was only 8 years old now, he looked no different from a teenager.

Anduin will officially receive the initial training of the paladin next year, but to be honest, in the two years by Dick's side, the little prince's holy light has been used quite well, although as a child, after breaking away from the boring education of the royal family, he is somewhat playful and casual, and even once he sneaked into the swamp outside the city of Theramore, wanting to see the dragon's lair where his father was imprisoned, but when he trekked through the swamp, he fell into the hands of an ogre.

If it weren't for the fact that Lexa happened to stay in the Ogre tribe of the Walls at that time, I'm afraid the little prince would have suffered. But even so, when Lexa sent the screaming Anduin back with Sbire, the bloodstain on the body made the eldest princess Kalia almost faint.

Since then, the boy's range of activities has been strictly controlled in the city of Theramore.

Since Varian's condition has not been good, Anduin only returns to Stormwind City for 3 months a year, and at least 1 month of this time is spent in Karazan, where his "good brother" Median accompanies him, and for a child of this age, the whole world is very mysterious, and Karazan is simply a playground that will never get bored.

Of course, this does not mean that the little prince has a bad time in Theramore, after all, there are things that are not found anywhere else here, such as the friendly and mysterious, tall minotaur like a mountain, the treacherous goblin merchant who always wants to cheat him out of the royal gold in his pocket, the mysterious and beautiful elven traveler and druid, the stupid and ugly boar man, and the great boar that often appears near Theramore.

Agamagan, the power of the demigods, allowed this cheerful giant boar to appear wherever it wanted, and of course the injuries caused by the Battle of Mount Hyjal had not healed, so it spent most of its time wandering in the Emerald Dream Realm, but occasionally when the mood came, it would return to the thorny Razor Heights, or come to Seramo for lunch.

The little prince loved this super large and handsome boar with a clean body and thorny armor, although for his age, it was probably impossible to tell what kind of terrifying power this boar contained in its body, but this did not prevent him from becoming friends with the friendly demigods, especially after sharing the secret cream cake of Stormwind City, and Agamagan also liked this little man.

Dick knew from Gianna that every time Agamagan appeared, he would quietly take the little prince to Emerald Dream or other places to play, of course, this is a child's secret, and with Agamagan's protection, Anduin is even safer than staying in Theramore, so Dick did not debunk it, who does not have a childhood?

Dick put down the hammer and sword in his hand, took a handkerchief and wiped his face and hands, and reached out to take the letter in Anduin's hand, and on the envelope, made of the finest paper, had a wax seal of a delicate crow's head, which seemed to be the work of Moros.

After sealing off Karazan for more than half a year, the old mage Merry Winterwind finally succeeded in sealing the reverse tower below Karazhan, and Median also returned to Karazan at that time, and Lady Egwen was unwilling to face the place full of sad memories, so she stayed in the court of Theramore.

Dick knew that this lady, who had become an ordinary person, did not want to meet the man she had been deeply hurt by, Medivan's father, Madian's grandfather, the only person with whom she had ever been skin-to-skin, and now lived in ghost form as the royal archmage of Stormwind City-Nellas Elan.

The tragic man who exhausted his efforts to save his son, and even after death, the obsessive soul had to protect his son.

"Well, he also invited Ms. Egwen, yes. ”

Dick returned the envelope to Anduin, who was obsessively touching the unfinished sword on the table with his hand, and patted him on the head.

"Go and give the letter to Lady Egwene, and then try to persuade her to agree to go with you, and if you succeed, I'll teach you how to unsheath it with the light. ”

"Really?"

Anduin's eyes lit up, he had long been greedy for this skill of being able to throw a brilliant sword of holy light with his bare hands, which no other paladin could do, and after receiving Dick's affirmation, he happily grabbed the ceremonial sword hanging from his waist and ran out quickly.

Dick picked up the hammer, he was actually very suspicious, if there was really such a thing as attribute talent, the little prince's Holy Light affinity was likely to be a terrible MAX, otherwise this would not explain the wonder that the Holy Light would actively protect him while he was sleeping.

It was still a scene that Gianna occasionally discovered, and it shocked Dick and Liadeline, who rushed to hear the news. Even Avena clamored to leave Dick and become the soul of this lovely little creature.

But today is destined to be eventful, and before Dick could repair the blade of the long sword, the sound transmission stone on the table jumped, and Gianna's anxious voice sounded in the forging room,

"Come back, Dick, that idiot from Thrall took those Blackstone orcs! and now they're picking them up at the port of Durontar!"

"Bang!"

The paladin turned off the sound transmission stone with a gloomy face, picked up the gray cloak next to him, and strode out of the forging room.

"Thrall, Blackstone Orcs... Is this crazy?"

On the other side, the barren port of Durontar, a port of call built by the orcs, usually only the merchant ships of the goblins, who exchanged their furs and wood, as well as the rare herbs they grow, for food and weapons from the profiteers.

Overall, the goblins' rusty plutocracy has found a good buyer in Kalimdor, and even the goblin towns in the Barrens have prospered a lot because of the new route.

This time, however, the goblins were a little bigger, and a fleet of more than 30 large merchant ships floated mightily on the coastline of the Barren Lands, which immediately attracted the attention of the scouts of the Northern Fortress, and it was only when the elite scouts trained by the watchers sneaked into the staggering number of merchant ships that they discovered the "cargo" transported by the goblins this time.

Not some moldy grain, not rusty weapons, but people!

Black-skinned orcs!

More than 30 merchant ships loaded with these Blackstone orcs had crossed the ocean from the Eastern Continent to Kalimdor, and their voyage ended in Blade Bay in Durontar.

The commander of the Northern Fortress, Baron Eregor of Theramore, immediately informed the Theramore officials of the news, and one hour later, all the high-ranking officials of Theramore gathered in the conference room of the palace, and the expressions on everyone's faces were not good.

Most of the people here have experienced the orc wars of the year, and some old ministers have even personally killed orcs, so for Orgrimmar, who lives almost next to Theramore, the whole of Theramore has responded with a neutral and hostile attitude.

It's the same on the orc side, there is so much blood shed on both sides, so much that it is impossible to wash it away unless this generation dies.
