11【Seeking Cooperation】
Walking on the road to the Violet Spire, Oryx was also an eye-opener.
The most intuitive feeling is big.
Big, very big.
Much more than in the game.
The minarets are so spectacular that you can see all kinds of people on the road, and the architectural style is biased towards the High Elves - no way, magic is learned from others, and people have been helping during the construction of Dalaran, and it is not immune to the influence of its culture and aesthetic style.
In comparison, the rest of the countries undoubtedly appear much more backward, as if they were not at all in the same era.
As the magical capital of the world, Dalaran is beyond the world, and has always lived his big life behind closed doors, never looking at the other six kingdoms.
The people are really high-minded, and the things they focus on are either studying the nature of the world, or delving into the arcane magic full of order and beauty, and any one of them is a high-level knowledge that can bring a whole leap forward to all mankind.
In the eyes of others, the political competition and deceit between the seven countries are all playing tricks, and they are not worth pouring energy.
After the end of the Second War, the defeated orcs were put in a hospice. Led by the leader Antonidas, the Dalaran scholars have conducted extensive research on the growing "malaise" among the orcs.
The people did not understand and even scolded them - you otaku, you guys, actually took taxpayers' money to study the enemies of all mankind? Although I am not yours, I have to stand on the moral high ground and scold you.
The rest of the nations did not quell this public opinion, after all, they still hoped that the public grievances would make Dalaran more or less invest more money in the shelter, after all, the funds to keep these orc prisons running were not a small amount.
Dalaran still went his own way, after all, the civilians would never understand the meaning of this move.
Although Dalaran did not know that the orcs had been enslaved and driven by the Burning Legion to invade Azeroth, and that the orcs had drunk the blood of Manolos, this did not prevent them from detecting the demonic aura emitted by it.
The orcs have a demonic aura on them, and this casual thought of the Burning Legion.
They still know something about the Burning Legion, most of it through the High Elves who were part of the Night Elves. The latter's historical records record that the Burning Legion invaded the world 10,000 years ago.
It is disturbing that the orcs, who almost kicked humanity out of the continent now, have a demonic aura on their bodies. Isn't the Burning Legion here again? And the orcs are the vanguard of their invasion of Azeroth?
In a word......
People study the "malaise" of orcs and orcs simply to increase their knowledge reserves, so as not to wait until the day when the Burning Legion invades and is unprepared.
Speaking of which, Dalaran really once interfered in the political affairs of other countries, strictly speaking, he almost interfered.
Eleven years ago, the High Elves and the Kingdom of Stormgard withdrew from the alliance, and the alliance was in an eventful time.
In the post-war period, countries with high levels of debt have been pushing the buck over the cost of maintaining shelters. The question of the ownership of the Kingdom of Alterac, which was taken over by the Alliance by force due to its betrayal of the Alliance and all mankind in the Second War, was also put on the table.
Both the kingdoms of Lordaeron and the kingdoms of Gilneth want to install a puppet close to them to become the ruler of the kingdom of Alterac in order to maximize their profits.
The two sides quarreled until a "peerless man" appeared, Davar Presto, a down-and-out nobleman from Lordaeron.
He was so personable that he intoxicated the crowd, and as soon as he arrived at the royal city of Lordaeron, he liked that his noblewoman could circle the planet Azeroth from the city gate and back to the city gate. It's so perfect, men and women can't love it.
Even King Terenus and King Jean Greymane have reached a rare consensus that Davar Presto is the best candidate not to support the Alterac puppet king! Making him the ruler of Alterac is in the common good of all mankind and a good thing for the benefit of Azeroth!
At that time, Dalaran sensed that something was wrong, this person seemed to have used magic to bewitch the top of the alliance!
But the following year, when they had investigated the man's background and decided to take action against him, the man had mysteriously disappeared.
They couldn't have imagined that Davar Presto was Deathwing! Why did they disappear without saying a word, because Ronin had just completed the secret mission given to him by Crassus to save the Red Dragon Queen, destroying the Demon Soul, and the four dragon kings worked together to defeat Deathwing and make it flee...... Davar Presto, the incarnation of Deathwing, is naturally gone.
In short, this is Dalaran, a magical city-state that does not eat the fireworks of the world, but only silently watches over the entire human world behind its back.
Well, the style is really high.
……
The duo were ushered into a living room on the middle floor of the Violet Spire.
The hospitality specifications are very sufficient, showing the sincerity of Dalaran. The one who came to receive him was also one of the members of the Council of Six Kenrito, although he had only just taken office, but he should not be underestimated - the deputy head of the Knights of the Silver Hand did not need to be personally sent by the leader of Dalaran.
"The letter says that your regiment wants to build a stable two-way communication channel between headquarters and Northrend?" Ansrem asked as he asked the slave to serve the master and apprentice a low-alcohol wine.
"Yes, is it feasible to have one end in the Chapel of the Light's Wish and the other end as close to the north-west of Northrend as possible?" Dasohan nodded.
He didn't know anything about it, after all, the Knights of the Silver Hand had almost never been in contact with mages, and their knowledge of them was more from hearsay.
But if you want to quickly and easily verify the prophecy of the Lich King, you can only rely on the mages of Dalaran. He just hated that this matter couldn't be made public before it was revealed, otherwise there would be some teleportation channel set up, and it would be over if these mages directly used remote detection spells to probe the location of the prophesied Lich King.
"Northwest? Hmm...... "Ainsrem was a little embarrassed.
There are really not many places in this world that Master Dalaran doesn't know about or haven't been. No matter how bad it is, in the spirit of research, he has collected information on local flora and fauna, the characteristics of the magic web, and so on.
Northrend...... It's not that I haven't been there. Normally, sending two mages to help them send people back and pick them up again is not over, and a large teleportation channel has to be built, obviously there is some important and time-consuming task to be carried out, and thinking of the content of the letter stamped with the personal seal of the head of the regiment, Uther, Ansrem is more and more confused.
What's so good about that place that makes the Knights of the Silver Hand so interested?
"If it's convenient, may I ask what your group is doing there? Of course, if there are any secrets involved, I don't ask...... I just want to remind Your Excellency that the situation there is complicated, not only there are races such as Ice Trolls and Spider Demons, but the five-colored dragon clan is also entrenched in the Dragon Bone Wilderness, and I am afraid that it will cause great obstacles to the goals of your group, and it is very dangerous. ”
In this era, the five-colored dragon clan has not yet appeared in front of people, and they are working together with mortals. In the eyes of mortal races other than the Night Elves and High Elves, they are no different from beasts. Of course, Dalaran was slightly better, after all, they had learned from the High Elves about the relationship between the Five-Colored Dragons and the Night Elves.
Da Sohan just smiled, looking inconvenient to reveal.
Ansrem nodded, and asked no more, "Well, in that case, we can meet your group's needs." However, the magic materials required to build a portal over such a long distance are worth a lot of money, and you think we are ......."
One yard to one yard, of course money still needs money!
Dalaran often accepted requests from the other six countries, such as accepting the good seedlings sent by the six countries to cultivate them, so that they could better serve the motherland when they returned. Or provide some security guarantees for the royal family against magical assassinations, and if you pay out of pocket every time, then these services do not need to be provided.
"We will pay the money and take the private property of the Knights, we only hope that the teleportation channel can be completed as soon as possible." Dassaulthan replied.
"Okay," Anslem frowned, but agreed, got up and shook hands with Da Sohan, "I can call the shots in this matter, and tomorrow we will send an architect to select a suitable teleportation channel exit for your group, assuming a stable two-way channel!" ”
"Thank you, Councillor."
"It is an honor for us to contribute to the Church of Light."
The Knights of the Silver Hand paid for it, and Dalaran contributed it. The deal was done cleanly, without any delay.
After a few small talks, the master and apprentice left Violet Castle. Ansrem kept the two of them to the door.
Looking at the departing backs of the pair of masters and apprentices, the new parliamentarian was puzzled.
This is still his ...... No, it should be said that it was the first time that Dalaran cooperated with the Knights of the Silver Hand through official channels.
But he couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do. It stands to reason that the cost of setting up a teleportation channel should be paid by the Holy Light Church or the Alliance where the Silver Hand Knights are located, after all, this is a transnational organization affiliated with the Church and serving the entire Alliance and all mankind.
But they take their own accounts, don't they want others to find out?
Ainsrem shook his head.
I really can't figure it out.
……
If you know the confusion of this new councilor, Oryx should scold the screenwriter again - it's still the same sentence, the sense of separation caused by the setting and perfect time, to put it bluntly, is a plot BUG! The Order of the Silver Hand was formed by Archbishop Alonsos Fao, affiliated with the Church of the Light, serving the entire Union. In the later plot of the Stratholme massacre, Arthas, as a crown prince, has no power to remove Uther as the head of the Knights......
"Teacher, he seems to be quite confused about our request." Walking down the road to the griffin site, Oryx whispered.
"I'd rather pull these mages into the water."
For his apprentice, Da Sohan is still very honest, maybe the thing is done, and the mood is a lot lighter, at least it doesn't look so oppressive - this is a big strong man more than two meters tall, in his thirties, in his golden age, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he is not good. It's more like a warrior than a paladin, and it's scary enough to go there, not to mention always having a strained face along the way.
"I haven't had much contact with them, but they're known for being more genuine. If we can find out what we are trying to prophesy, even if we think we are too superstitious, it is enough to be aware of the threat of the Lich King. They are more active and responsive than us in how to stop the prophesied catastrophe, and they are not as concerned about the impact as we do......"
When Oryx heard it, it was this reason.
These Dalaran mages had better be aware of the rising Scourge Legion when they were selecting the exit at the other end of the teleportation channel. Then he immediately investigates and learns the Lich King's intentions to invade Lordaeron in one fell swoop, so that the Knights of the Silver Hand don't have to work tirelessly to prove the prophecy.
It seems that this cheap teacher is still very transparent.
"Teacher, my father's ......"
Da Sohan glanced at him, made sure he was genuinely asking, and sighed, "Don't worry, someone will investigate." After all, even if he is about to commit a crime of betrayal against humanity, he will still be your father after all. The group will not let you participate in the relevant investigation and suffer the pain of choice. ”
"No, teacher, I actually want to participate in the investigation."
"Oh?" Dassault was slightly surprised.
"Well, he's my father, yes, and I imagined the painful choices I would face when I faced him on the verge of depravity. But that's why it's important for me to be involved in the investigation – I want to personally undo his mistakes and put an end to his crimes. Even if it means I'm going to face the greatest pain head-on. Oryx said sincerely.
But it's all a lie.
Why do you insist on getting involved?
Because the Book of Time has just sent him a task.
——
[Historical Mission]: The Shame of Rivendell - Baron Rivendell, a large landowner in the Stratholme region. Before the Third War, he formed the Cult of the Damned with Kel'thugad, and later pledged his allegiance to the Lich King, committing numerous crimes against the people of Lordaeron.
[Objective]: Kill Baron Rivendell.
[Reward]: 25 Time Energy.
Note: This quest is a secondary quest of the primary quest [Destroy the Cursed Cult] of the first stage of the Legendary History quest [Saving Azeroth] [Winter of Lordaeron] (Epic Historical Quest), and it will help unlock more branches and bonus quests after completion.
——
In the process of changing history, it is easy to accomplish this task.
And that's a full 25 points of time energy! You don't have to travel through the timeline to complete horrific missions that are clearly dangerous but are marked as "very safe".
"Okay, since you're asking for ......"
Looking at Oryx, Saidan Dasohan sighed faintly, only feeling that he had not mistaken this apprentice, and had not put so much effort into him in vain.
"When I get back, I'll ask Uther to let you join the investigation."
"Thank you, teacher."
