"It seems to be very lively inside?" Zhang Cheng stopped and asked with a smile.

Garrick shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile and explained helplessly, "yes, it's been a whole month. As you know, since the last elite led by Marshal Garithar was wiped out by the Dark Queen, most of the nobles have either been killed or fled further south to the kingdom of Stormwind. So we don't have a legitimate leader and ruler at all, so we have to unite and govern ourselves, form a temporary parliament, and consult with each other to face a common threat. ”

"Parliament, can you tell me how this so-called parliament works?" Zhang Cheng touched his chin with interest.

According to his understanding, the human society on the continent of Azeroth should be a typical aristocratic feudal system, whether it is the destroyed kingdom of Lordaeron, or the kingdom of Stormwind, which is currently in deep trouble, or the Theramore in Kalimdor, whose top-level rulers are all derived from the first ancient empire of mankind, the Soladine Empire.

In other words, people here prefer to believe in innate noble blood rather than ability, and theoretically only nobles who have been canonized by the king have the legal right to rule.

But now, an interesting phenomenon is presenting, with the destruction of the last remnants of the military power of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, there is a rare power vacuum in the north.

The self-contained Stormwind Kingdom is temporarily unable to extend its tentacles, and the ruined Riptide Fort is also unable to shelter these peasants, so in order to protect themselves, they have to form a small alliance to try to solve all kinds of troubles.

Zhang Cheng wondered how such an organization, which had neither a clear leader nor a strong binding force, could be sustained.

"It's very simple! Every farm or village that voluntarily chooses to join will elect a representative to become a member of parliament and be responsible for the decision-making of the whole council. Each of them has the right to vote, and in case of disagreement, they will vote under the auspices of the clerk, and if they agree with more than half of them, they will pass and implement them. Of course, each farm and village has its own position and ideas, so the meeting is always spent in constant quarrels. As he spoke, Garrick sighed helplessly.

It is not known whether he is lamenting the future of the council, or if he is lamenting the selfish nature of humanity.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Believe me, as long as they learn the truth, they will definitely give up the quarrel and reunite together. Zhang Cheng patted the other party's shoulder comfortingly, pushed open the door hard, and walked in through the threshold.

"I hope so......" the young man muttered as he hurried to follow.

As soon as the two of them entered the hall one after the other, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, and one of them, an old man who was panting with a cane, unceremoniously shouted: "Who let you in? Get out!"

"Who is this barking old dog? Hasn't anyone taught it what politeness and upbringing are?" Zhang Cheng sneered and sarcastically said mercilessly.

He's not the kind of person who swallows his anger when he's insulted, and he won't let a bastard who relies on the old and sells the old to ride on his head and shit.

"Please be calm, Your Excellency, he is Thors, the representative of the Lakeside Farm. His son had just died in a sneak attack by the undead two days ago, so his emotions were inevitably a little out of control. Garrick, who had seen the power of magic with his own eyes, was afraid of some bloodshed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Well, I forgive him this time. But remember, this is the first time, and the same last. If I hear a similar insult again, I don't mind freezing his mouth in frost. With that, Zhang Cheng waved his right hand violently, setting off a biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes.

He knew very well that if he did not take a little deterrent action, he could not expect to attract attention, let alone gain a voice.

When the cold snowflakes fell on the skin of everyone present, they instantly realized that the young man in front of them was not an ordinary person, but a master of arcane power, a mage who could shape fire and frost into various terrifying forms.

For a moment, the originally noisy council hall was silent, and even the two sides in the quarrel chose to shut up.

Looking at those eyes full of vigilance and awe, Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time secretly glad that he had chosen the mage as a career template instead of a thief with shadows, otherwise he would be facing a completely different situation now.

"Guys, I think you're all trying to figure out who I am and what my purpose is. In fact, I'm here to warn. As you may already know, the Forsaken are constantly pouring a dark green potion into your barns and wheat fields. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng came to the middle of the hall and raised the finger-thick test tube high, trying to make it as clear as possible for everyone to see.

"But what you don't know is that it doesn't just rot food, but it also makes any person or animal that has eaten it become frantic and irrational, madly attacking all living beings around it, in short, this is a new magical plague in development, and you are the test of the plague. ”

"What!!!Plague?are the damn undead experimenting on us?" A slightly balding middle-aged man jerked up from his chair, a mixture of shock and anger on his face.

"You are?"

"I'm the mayor here, Burnside. Mr. Mage, may I ask if what you just said is true, and what evidence is there?" the middle-aged man asked impatiently.

Knowing the identity of the other party, Zhang Cheng immediately turned around and beckoned to Garrick: "Come here, take out the corpse of that sparrow, and let our mayor, Mr. Town, and the councillors take a look." ”

"Okay!" Garrick didn't say a word, and threw the bloody corpse on the table.

Bang!

"O my holy light......! Is this a sparrow?" Burnside's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

After all, it is impossible for a normal sparrow to grow sharp teeth, as well as oozing blood-red eyes, and as for the pair of black glowing claws, it clearly reveals traces of erosion by shadow energy.

"Yes, this is a sparrow, or before it fed on that dark green plague, it was an ordinary sparrow. If you don't want the tragedy of Stratholme to happen here, it's best to give up the quarrel and unite to deal with the crisis. ”

Burnside nodded vigorously: "I understand what you mean, please command, what do you need us to do?"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhang Cheng made a straightforward request: "It's very simple, first of all, strengthen vigilance, don't give the forsaken any chance to take advantage of, if you can, it's best to catch one or two captives alive." Second, send someone to Nanhai Town to see if there is any information to share there. Finally, prepare a few fast horses, I will rest for the night today, and set out for Dalaran early tomorrow morning, and hand these plagues into the hands of the Kenrito Council, and see if the archmages can decipher the secrets. ”

"No problem, Garrick, take the mage for a bite to eat, and by the way, tell the stables to prepare some good horses......"
