29. The sunset of the Phoenix Dynasty

Sylvanas, who had changed into a home's robe, sat at the door of the side hall of life, and two royal guards were holding double-ended recurve swords and a phoenix shield, guarding the entrance of the side hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The appearance of this nemesis of all legal professions here represents the royal family of the Sunchaser, and the importance of Dick and Liadline, of course, is also a means of winning people's hearts.

Dick, who had just recovered from a serious injury, didn't care about any of this, he sat in front of the hospital bed in a high elf's wide samurai robe, and looked at Liadlin as if she were sleeping.

The High Priest was rescued, but her spirit broke down, and Dick heard from Sylvanas that he had fainted, and the development of events, Lotherma's arrow, completely dissipated Liadrin's will that had held for hundreds of years, and she was now like a sleeping beauty, not unable to wake up, but unwilling to wake up.

She is reluctant to open her eyes and face this cruel world.

Dick sat on the edge of the hospital bed, like a silent stone, he and Liadline were just ordinary friends, but after that night of snuggling up to each other, there was always a hint of affection between the two of them, but both knew that it was not love.

Dick stood up, stretched out his hand, and pushed Liadeline's long golden hair back to his head, his movements were gentle, but his eyes were getting colder, Arthas was stretching his evil tentacles little by little towards the people around him, those paladins, plus now Liadline, Dick felt like a prey being cornered step by step, with the tightening of the hunting net, leaving him less and less time to fight back.

"Bang!"

The door of the side hall was pushed open, and Sylvanas appeared at the door of the side hall with her shoulders crossed, and she glanced at Dick, who was arranging her face for Liadrin, and whispered,

"Knight Dick, Your Majesty has summoned you!"

"Wait a minute!"

Dick replied without looking back, putting the last strand of Liadline's long hair behind his pointed ear, and he stood up, pursed his lips, and looked at the sleeping High Priest with a serious expression.

"I'm going to change that!"

Dick solemnly promised, then turned and walked away from the side hall with firm steps.

In the corner he didn't see, Liadline's eyelids twitched, as if struggling, and as if in response.

"The Ranger forces have suffered heavy losses this time, most of the councillors have begun to pay attention to the threat of the undead scourge, and even His Majesty the King plans to divide a part of the law breakers to join the front temple of Quel'Salas to strengthen the defense, but there are still some stubborn councillors who think that there are defensive runes, so we should adopt the strategy of "defensive counterattack", and there are even a handful of guys with evil intentions, proposing to make peace with Arthas, hell "peace"!"

Sylvanas took Dick down the aisle of the Hall of Life, not far from the Phoenix Hall where the councilors were meeting, Dick silently followed behind Sylvanas, and when the Ranger General had finished speaking, Dick asked,

"What about Darkan, what are you going to do?"

After Dick sobered up, he had already told Sylvanas about the deal between Darkan and Arthas, of course, the pretext was "the special intelligence network of the Silver Hand", of course, after experiencing a desperate escape, Sylvanas also valued Dick's words a lot, and arranged for the rangers to keep an eye on the outside of Darkan's mage tower as soon as possible.

Faced with Dick's question, Sylvanas stopped her scurry, and she turned and looked at Dick with a strange gaze,

"If I don't believe in your character, I should wonder if you have planted a spy in Quel'Thalas, Archmage Darkan's movements in the past few days are indeed a bit strange, his apprentice said that he hasn't been out of the laboratory for 5 days, and he has also applied to the Mage Council for the third time for the topic of "research on the nature of the energy of the sunwell", which has obviously been denied twice. ”

The Ranger General glanced at Dick with his pupils, and the expression on his face turned serious.

"I have secretly submitted an application for arrest to the royal family, Haduron personally monitors Darkan's mage tower, if there is no accident, after you end the audience, Darkan will be arrested!"

Dick nodded, he was actually a little absent-minded, because he had a faint illusion in his heart that Darkan would not be captured so easily, otherwise according to his strength, the task prompt should have popped up by now.

He followed Sylvanas through the aisles of the Phoenix Hall, where the exquisitely dressed court maids and mighty court guards were quietly looking at Dick, who had been the first human to be summoned by the Sun King in the past ten years since the end of the Second Orc War.

However, this honor was nothing to be happy about for Dick, and if he could, he would rather use this opportunity in exchange for Darkan's immediate arrest.

"Your Majesty, the human paladin Dick Don, has been brought!"

Sylvanas bowed to Anastarian, the Sunstrider, who was seated on a lavish throne, and then took a step to the left, revealing Dick behind her, who stepped forward, resting his gloved left hand on his chest and leaning slightly.

This is already not very polite etiquette, according to aristocratic etiquette, Dick should have knelt on one knee at this time, but Dick really doesn't have that mood now, and King Anastarian is also a very pragmatic king, he doesn't care about these false courtesies, and asks,

"Knight Dick, I've heard from Sylvanas that you know the targets of the undead this time, and you've dealt with them many times, right?"

Dick raised his head, and the appearance of King Anastarian came into his eyes, although the High Elves generally lived a long life, but on Anastarian's face, there were still traces left by the years, the eyebrows of the High Elves were generally like sharp swords, and His Majesty's eyebrows and beard were already pure white.

Most notably, the king has a very conspicuous knife mark on his cheek, which is a memento left for him by the leader of the Amani trolls during the Troll War.

But this scar did not destroy Anastarian's overall image, and on his elegant appearance, it added a touch of fierceness to him, and with his eyes as sharp as an eagle, it really had an awe-inspiring momentum. He sat on a throne with a fiery red sheathed sword slung across his waist, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with a palm-sized flame gem.

Dick knew that it should be the Flame Strike, one of the three artifacts of the mage, the ultimate embodiment of fire magic! Only the most powerful flame mage could harness this magic sword. This artifact is also a symbol of the royal family of the Sunchaser.

In response to Anastarian's inquiry, Dick nodded,

"Yes, Your Majesty the Sun King, Arthas is the former prince of Lordaeron, but his mind is controlled by the sorrow of the magic sword Frost, he destroyed his country, and now for an ugly purpose, he has rushed to Quel'Thalas, yes, you need not doubt it, he came for the life of the High Elves and the source of magic, the Well of the Sun!"

"So... Why?"

Anastarian was not surprised to hear this answer, there are too many people in this world who covet the sunwell, and even the Kadore night elves, who occupy another continent and inherit the orthodoxy of the ancient elven empire and have the immortal world tree, also send scouts all year round to spy on the bottom of the sunwell?

Now that there is one more Arthas, the Sun King is not panicking, and as a wise mage, he directly asks the reason.

"Because his evil lieutenant, a former councilor from the Kenrito Council of Six in Dalaran, who took refuge in Kel'thugad of the evil forces of Northumbre in the Northlands, was killed by Princess Gianna Proudmore in Tirisfa, but his soul needed a carrier, and for an archmage like him, it wasn't a big problem to transform into an evil lich, but as one of the strongest mages in the world... I think you should know what it takes to transform a lich..."

Hearing Dick's answer, Anastarian's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

The human magic system was still learned from the High Elves, so Anastarian knew better than anyone what a lich was, and in fact, the first undead in Azeroth was made by Quel'Thalas.

From flesh and blood to a lich, this is an incomplete change in the life form, and a lot of magical energy is required in the process, and for those who are weak, the energy needed is actually not much, such as the summoner Araki, but for powerful mages, to transform into a lich and preserve their strength, the energy required is an astronomical amount.

It's no wonder that they are eyeing the Sun Well! In the entire Eastern Continent, only the Sun Well can meet the needs of a mage of Kel's level of transformation.

However, after understanding Arthas's purpose, Anastarian finally made up his mind, and he glanced at Dick,

"You also told General Sylvanas that Archmage Darkan-Derahir, Councillor of the Silver Moon, was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but you couldn't produce any evidence... Do you know what a felony it is to falsely accuse a city councilor, especially an archmage like Darkan who has done great things for Quel'Thalas!"

Dick looked directly at His Majesty the Sun King without humility or arrogance, and said in a firm tone,

"Your Majesty, I swear by the faith of the Paladin, and in the event of false accusations, I am willing to bear any legal punishment from Quel'Thalas, Lotharma... General Lotherma is the high-ranking commander of the Ranger Force, he knows the secret of the defensive rune, the moment he dies in battle, and the soul of the frost grief is captured, the secret of the defensive rune has already been spread, if I were you, I would arrange the preparation for war at the first time..."

"Uh... Dick, you just woke up, and you don't know that Your Majesty has mobilized all the remaining ranger troops and mage troops and arranged them in the temple on the front line, with the participation of elite spellbreakers, and the evacuation of the people has begun. ”

Sylvanas quietly tugged at the corner of Raddic's coat and whispered,

"Actually, Your Majesty and we are ready for war!"

"Uh..."

Hearing this news, Dick suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he risked his life to send Sylvanas back to Silvermoon City, right, the important reason why Quel'Thalas was destroyed by Arthas in such a short period of time in history is that the elves were defenseless against the destruction of defensive runes, and when Arthas's army entered Quel'Thalas, Silvermoon City was still in a clueless panic because of Darkan's betrayal.

Now, because of Dick's existence, the Knights of the Silver Hand have not been destroyed, and the army of the undead under Arthas's command has also been newly assembled in Quel'Thalas, and even half of the strength in the original history cannot be reached, plus Quel'Thalas is completely ready for war, now, Arthas will not be so easy to succeed, right?

"Drop... Trigger the quest, Sunset of the Phoenix Dynasty"

The internal twist of the historical node "Destruction of Silvermoon City" has reached 50%, which is greatly offset, but the balance of power between the two sides is still very large, so you need to do your best to change the outcome of Quel'Thalas. ”

"Requirements: High Elf Empire government integrity greater than 60%, High Elf remnant greater than 100w."

"Note: This mission is the last node of the large-scale mission "Pause of the Wheel of History", and it cannot be abandoned, and after failure, the large-scale mission will fail!

Dick's complexion changed!
