5. The Sorrow of the All-Knowing and Almighty (Part I)
As Dick, who had also played warriors in the past, he knew very well that although the Gate of the Sky looked spectacular and brilliant, in essence, this thing that was hanging from the sky was still a large portal, so the teleported person could not be seen in it, which also prevented the Viku people from being discovered by those strong people on the scene at that time.

They all knew Dick's physical condition, so they subconsciously thought that the paladin had to go back to rest for a while because of physical reasons, so after the slightly stagnant atmosphere of the meeting began, no one doubted Dick's whereabouts just now.
This concealment is necessary, and in the seventh year of coming to this world, Dick has already known what the knowledge in his mind means to the world, and there is nothing else to say, just an Oldamane who has been disarmed, and the earth spirits of that place have all moved out, and now secretly live in the swamp outside the city of Seramo, where Onexia's lair is located.
But the history of the stone carvings and stone workings in the palace of that place, once discovered and published, was no less than a great earthquake, which overturned almost all the historical construction of the current civilized world.
This is a very slight change, once the news of the Origin Forge is known to the world, it will not cause an earthquake, but a panic.
Dick is well aware of the darkness of human nature, and once he knows that there is a bomb hanging over his head every moment that will be detonated at any time, how many people will become crazy in an instant? Moreover, the humans of Azeroth are no different from Dick's original compatriots, and these secrets are not blessings at all.
Dick knew deep down that it was the key, the key to destruction!
And now that he is involved in politics, it is difficult to stand alone, and Dick knows that Sir Moyns has been trying to weaken his authority in Theramore, which must have been tacitly approved by Kaliah, and the closest forces to him are still like this, and the attitude of other forces towards him can be imagined.
The Paladin was no longer the young man who imagined the world to be beautiful, and when he stepped into the conference room of Theramore with Gianna's support, he knew that another exchange had begun.
It's nothing more than exchanging knowledge and information for support, he has already mastered it, and he has prepared enough weight of news.
"This is the last time..."
Dick sat silently on the chair and made a promise to himself, after the end of the Northern Expedition, the great disasters of this world were almost eliminated by him, and the reversal degree could reach 50%, or even 60%, plus the inevitable Blue Dragon Disaster and the reversal of the Titan Road, at that time, the serious shift in the timeline will eventually completely reverse the future of this world, although it is turned into the unknown, but it is much better than the original result.
It was only now that Dick figured out that in the original history, when the cataclysm occurred, the future of this world was already very bleak, and 60% of the planet's terrain was reshaped, which was not much different from the consequences of the activation of the Origin Furnace, and the star spirits would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Deathwing's big cousin's plan to destroy the world seems to have failed, but in fact, he may well have succeeded.
Life goes on, but maybe hopelessness has been lost.
Dick's stunned distraction made the others a little embarrassed, and the old Fording sitting next to him couldn't help but kick him quietly, and the paladin came back to his senses from thinking from a lofty perspective, and he was not much embarrassed, especially after a few months, maybe because he had adapted to this state of being a wasted person, and his state of mind was much better.
"Well, you all know the purpose of this meeting, and I'm not a guy who likes to talk at length, so let's get straight to the point. β
Dick cleared his throat, " It has been almost 3 months since the scourge of the undead in the northern frontier has been roughly pacified, and the vanguard of the Silver Northern Expedition organized by the Scarlet Crusaders, the Silver Hand and the Silver Dawn has even landed in Northrend, and in 2 months at most, the first line of defense will be established, and the problem we are facing now is that to fight against the undead forces in the entire Northrend, Lordaeron alone is simply not enough, and I am sure you all know that Arthas, the Lich King, will awaken in 9-10 months, so now we are short on time and need supportγ β
The paladin glanced around and accentuated his tone, "The support of the entire civilized world is needed, and it will be a protracted war. β
As soon as Dick's words fell, the outspoken Overlord of Sarufar said directly,
"In orc culture, our first instinct when we encounter this kind of thing is always to kill Arthas before he wakes up, have you tried?"
Dick did not answer this question, and old Fording sighed, and spoke,
"This is actually our first reaction, but unfortunately, even in the case of violating the knight's creed and contacting the Assassin Alliance, the assassins and scout scouts sent out 2 months ago have only returned less than one-tenth, and there are at least more than 20 hero-level necromancers and countless undead stationed there, as well as all kinds of dark creatures that submit to the rule of Arthas, everyone, it is a continent! A force that is not weaker than the Eastern Continent or Kalimdor at all, assassination can't be done at all!"
Fordin's words made everyone fall silent, they didn't fail to understand the threat of the undead scourge to all living beings, but to be honest, how many forces were willing to use their own strength to fill that bottomless pit without seeing it with their own eyes or being threatened?
Dick snorted, and he took his ebony pipe from his bosom and muttered,
"Wisdom is priceless. β
The sparks lit up, and the mellow smell of tobacco rose in the chamber, and in the blue-gray smoke, Dick's voice was low and clear,
"Then, those who are willing to support the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army in the fight now, please raise your hand. β
At a glance, no one raised their hands, except for the Hamuel Rune Totem, which represented the Cenarion Council of the Druids.
Although the druids have such and such quirks, but their ambition to balance the world's grand goal is still worthy of affirmation, throughout the previous history, no matter what happens to this world, the druids will always be the most active group of people involved, of course, this is also related to the energy mastered by the druids, once nature is destroyed, their professional race will die, so to speak, they help the world, is to help themselves.
But the other forces did not have this constraint, just when the envoy from Stormwind City, Dick's old acquaintance, Marshal Wendthall, wanted to stand up and say something, Dick's left hand stretched out, he did not look up, as if he had foreseen this situation a long time ago, just silently smoked his tobacco, and in the smoke billowing, the paladin's voice was raised a little.
"Okay, old marshal, leave the diplomatic rhetoric to the interest officers, more than half of you are veterans after the war, so let's use the veterans to make a new choice. β
When he said this, the paladin seemed to have made up his mind, which made the body of the eldest princess Kalia, who had been sitting beside him, tremble, she knew what Dick was about to do, although she was very reluctant to do it.
The paladin stood up with his cane, and his gaze first turned to Commodore Matthew, the envoy of Kurtiras,
"The grievances between His Majesty Dai Lin and the Duke of Bloodsail have spread throughout this world, but I know that even today, more than ten years later, you still can't determine the location of the Plunder Island and the Scoundrel Harbor, and naturally you can't fundamentally destroy the Bloodsail Pirates, but here..."
Dick pointed to his head and whispered, "Here are the exact locations of Plunder Island and Scoundrel Harbor, Brigadier General Matthew, do you want it?"
Although the voice was very soft, but it fell on Brigadier Matthew's ears, it was like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, the hatred between Dai Lin and the Duke of Blood Sail Farreville had already stained this ocean red, and the king of the sea even offered a sky-high reward for this, who could bring back Farreville's head, he immediately gave a duke title, but unfortunately, how could the opponent who could stalemate with Dai Lin on the sea for more than ten years be the same as his peers, this reward has been there for almost 10 years, but no one has ever been able to get it alive.
The Bloodsail Pirates are all over the world, and their nominal headquarters are in the Valley of Thorns, but everyone knows that Raid Island is the foundation of Farreville, and Scoundrel Harbor is the logistics base of the Bloodsail Pirates, but unfortunately the oceans of this world are too vast and contain too many secrets, and hiding two islands in them is like throwing a needle into the sea.
To be honest, Brigadier Matthew's first reaction when he heard this sentence was not to believe it!
But when he realized the identity of the man standing in front of him and his story, this distrust quickly faded, and he took a deep breath, and the fist on the table burst out with blood, and finally dropped a sentence.
"I need to speak to His Majesty Dai Lin, but with all due respect, Your Excellency, if you had come up with this news earlier and become the Prince of Kul Tiras... It's not a difficult thing to do, there's no need to be on such an occasion, in this way, about this big thing, it's almost like..."
"Forced buying, forced selling, blackmail, or trading?"
Dick smiled indifferently, he opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke, "You have to understand, Your Excellency Matthew, love is the same as freedom, it won't work by exchange, you have to fight for it, okay, I have already thought about the result, go and contact His Majesty Dai Lin, he is a real wise man, he will understand how to choose." β
Brigadier Matthew lamented and hurried away, an act that made the other guys glow with a strange light, the nickname omniscient omnipotence is usually used by liars, but now, Dick is playing like those magic sticks.
"Next up is you, Your Highness Lyella, how are you lately?"
Dick leaned on his cane and walked slowly to the Copperbeard Princess, the once rebellious princess had a good attitude towards Dick, she knew very well that a large part of the reason for the current easing of the relationship between Copperbeard and Black Iron was due to the paladin in front of him who could not even walk.
It was precisely because of this mentality that Lyella was a little embarrassed when facing Dick, and she whispered,
"Knight Dick, I'm sorry, as much as I'd love to help you, whether it's my father or Thorrison, they have so much to think about, after all, we're ...
"Needless to say, Your Highness, now I am the Northern Earl of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and you are the princess of Ironforge Castle and the queen of Darkfurnace City, so even if I am very unwilling, I still want to use this place to make an exchange with you. β
Dick smiled and pointed to his head again, seeing this, Laiella also sighed,
"Don't do that, Knight Dick, father... Ay... In short, it's hard. β
"Don't worry, my Highness, listen to me first. β
The paladin took another puff of mellow tobacco, lowered his head, and lowered his voice without anyone being able to see his expression, "There is only one word I can give to His Majesty Magni, Muradin." β
"Bang"
Lyella couldn't help jumping off the peculiar stool, this action made Dick sweat, this princess is pregnant with a child at the moment, and they all say that the dwarves are in good physical fitness, which is a bit outrageous.
"Are you sure? My uncle... He did also..."
Lyella didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her behavior, but seeing the anxious and frightened look on her face, Dick smiled and patted Lyella's hand,
"I haven't lied since I became a paladin, you know, it's not allowed by the Light, go ahead, contact His Majesty Magni, and tell him that I am the only one in the world who knows the location of Prince Muradin, and if you want to take your brother back, come and exchange. β
(This chapter doesn't feel very good~ But I just want to give him a reason and performance to leave the worldly civilized world, he is already destined not to be too deeply involved in the mortal world.) Hey, I can't write that feeling at all, sad~)
