I don't think there's anything as big as the fall of the Amani Empire.

It turned out that the major events mentioned by Kalia were indeed not as big as the fall of the Amani Empire, but they also aroused enough interest in Arthas.

"Something happened to Dalaran, and I heard that something very important was lost...... I don't know the specifics, so let Gianna tell you!"

Kalia played tricks for a long time, but she still pushed the matter to Gianna.

"Oh...... Oh, yes......"

Gianna noticed that Arthas's gaze was on her, and quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, took a sip of water, and seriously told the story that she had already told to Kalia and the others.

It turned out that just as Arthas and the others left the land of the Kingdom of Lordaeron to go to the Wraiths to crusade against the trolls of the Human, Dwarven and High Elf Alliance, a treasure theft occurred in Dalaran.

Mage Uru, who has achieved great results in the study of summoned creatures, recently reported to the Council of Dalaran Kenrito that his notebook, which is also a book with magical powers, has been missing.

According to Uru, he accidentally found a blank book in Dalaran's library, and the blood allowed the book to reveal ancient words.

Not only did Uru write down some of his knowledge of summoning spells on the blank pages of the book, but he also cracked the shadow power of the books and obtained some new summoning spells from those ancient texts.

The creatures that can be summoned by summoning spells are already limited, so it is only natural that your treasures this mysterious book as if it were a treasure.

However, not long ago, the book was stolen, and the possible thief was none other than Uru's own disciple, the mage Arugao.

It's a long story about the experience between Uru and his disciples.

Six years ago, the Kingdom of Gilneth chose to stay out of the war between humans and orcs, an act that was despised by the other human kingdoms after the war, and the king of Gilneys, Jean Greymane, chose to sell out his allies after not getting the benefits he wanted—ownership of the Alterac Valley.

Jean Greymane found his High Elf friend in Quel'Thalas and stow a wedge between Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, and when the matter was revealed, the Kingdom of Gilneth could no longer be involved in the Alliance.

Unable to maintain even the most fragile appearance, the alliance led by Kings of Terenus and King Solas immediately announced that the Kingdom of Gilneth would be expelled from the alliance and the alliance would be dissolved.

Jean Greymane also chose to resist in a tough way - he fortified the walls of the border, as Emperor Soladin had done, and set up a thick and strong "Greymane Wall" in case the Coalition army attacked his kingdom through the Silverpine Forest.

War is on the verge of breaking out, and Dalaran, who is the glue of human relations, has tried his best to mediate, but he has never been able to quell the conflict of interests between these kingdoms.

Because the kingdoms were busy resuming production and did not want to immediately clash with the kingdom of Gilneys, which had not suffered losses in the Orc War, the war was avoided.

However, preparations for war began several years ago, and the most typical measure to weaken the Kingdom of Gilneth was that the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormgard joined forces to force Dalaran and expel the mages of King Gilneth who had studied magic in Dalaran.

Under strong pressure from several kings, the Council of Kenrito could only sacrifice the interests of the Kingdom of Gilneth in order to balance the fragile situation after the war.

Archmage Antonidas then announced that apprentices from the kingdom of Gilneth must leave Dalaran and return to their homeland after becoming mages, while those who have become mages must be repatriated within a month.

For the first time, the free-spirited Dalaran succumbed to worldly royal power—something that even the descendants of Soladin the Great had never done.

Even in the late Age of the Renaissance, which was full of blood and violence, the mages of the time did not submit to royal power, but now ......

Archmage Antonidas had to convince his companions, the kings who had just defeated the orc army, that they possessed supreme prestige and power, and that if Dalaran refused their demands, they would likely face disintegration.

After all, the human mages of several kingdoms obeyed the call of their kings, and after leaving Dalaran, it was not difficult to rebuild a magical city with the help of royal power.

The impact of this initiative on Dalaran and the entire society of the human kingdom was enormous, and for the first time, the mages realized that even in the free magical city of Dalaran, they were not entirely free.

As for the Kingdom of Gilneys, they had to accept the fact that they had been expelled from the Alliance, and that Jean Greyman's palace was filled with court mages who had been repatriated from Dalaran, but that did not make him happy.

Because the mages of the Kingdom of Gilneth have lost their future forever, the Wall of Greymane blocks not only possible threats to other human kingdoms, but also cultural and material exchanges between the Kingdom of Gilney and the outside world.

One such Gilnesian is Arugao, a disciple of Master Uru, who was forced to return to his home country after passing the mage exam last year to become a mage.

Not long ago, Arugao had come from the kingdom of Gilneth to Dalaran to visit his teacher, and after he left, Uru found that he had lost his treasured notes.

"So...... This guy named Arugao stole his teacher's treasure? These Gilneys, what a ......."

Arthas sighed - it's not that it's any land/domain discrimination, it's just that from Jean Greymayne to the current Arugau, Arthas really doesn't have a good impression of them.

"Yes, but it's going to hurt our Gianna......"

Kalia nodded and said indignantly.

"Gianna, what does this have to do with Gianna?"

Arthas asked, surprised.

"I don't quite understand it either...... Anyway, the matter was assigned to Lordaeron's court mage, and Archmage Modra gave the matter to Gianna, asking her to go to the kingdom of Gilneth first to scout the movements of that Arugal. ”

Kalia explained to Arthas.

"Detective? How can this work?"

Arthas shook his head again and again - even if the kingdom of Gilneth is not the strongest in the alliance, it is the only country that has not suffered losses in the orc war.

Even a mage genius like Gianna would find it difficult to get out of this country that is hostile to the Alliance, and more importantly, Gianna's status is special, as the daughter of Daylin Prodmore, the lord of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, her identity is likely to be used by the Gilnesians, which also means that once her whereabouts are revealed, it will never be let go.

Even though it was impossible to have anything to do with Gianna this time, even if it was just a normal friend (you, you scumbag), Arthas didn't want Gianna to take such a risk.

"Ah, this...... No, not what you think, Alsace...... We got the news that Arugao is now in a small castle on the border of the Kingdom of Gilneys, and my mission this time is only to go here to investigate, and I don't need to go deep into the territory of the Kingdom of Gilness. ”

Gianna was taken aback by Arthas's attitude, and quickly explained with both hands.

"That's right...... That's fine, but it's not very safe, so I'll call a team of Royal Lordaeron guards to send you there. ”

Arthas said to Gianna.

"Hmph, a team of people? What else are you scouting? The mage must have run away from the distance!"

Without waiting for Gianna to speak, Sylvanas sneered at Arthas.

"Right...... Yes, you don't have to worry about Arthas, I can do it alone!"

Gianna is grateful to Arthas for her safety, but she also wants to prove that she is not just a little grown-up?
