17 [Northrend]

This is how it was settled.

However, behind this is a complete set of survey processes, which is still very time-consuming. Dalaran needs to send someone to survey the demarcated area. It's like opening a tunnel in the mountains, you always have to check the soil quality, distance, structural stability and other factors in advance, but here you change it to whether the target anchor point has enough magic network energy, whether the magic network disturbance is violent, and if it is violent, will it affect the stability of the teleportation channel......

In fact, the Knights of the Silver Hand demarcated the anchor point at the other end of the teleportation channel in the Icecrown Glacier area, not only to facilitate the verification of the prophecy about the Lich King, but also to have a deeper purpose.

If these mages encounter undead in the course of their investigation and find signs of large-scale undead activity, they will inevitably choose to report it. For this is something that has never been seen before in Azeroth, at least in the known history of mankind.

Dalaran is bound to investigate it, whether it is in the spirit of curiosity or something else, and if it goes down with the vine, it will be the same as the appeal of the Knights of the Silver Hand - the rise of unknown undead creatures in the northern continent may pose a threat to the world, and Dalaran will never turn a blind eye to it.

In the final analysis, the evidence that these mages, who have been guarding the human world for thousands of years, can collect is stronger and more convincing than the Knights of the Silver Hand, and at least it can better prompt the Seven Kingdoms to be on guard.

After all, prophecy is only prophecy, not to mention that people will not believe that a long-term peace will be broken by a catastrophe from heaven, and most of the insiders within the Order of the Silver Hand are also in the spirit of believing that they have something or not......

……

The Knights of the Silver Hand have repeatedly asked to send paladins to the survey to ensure the safety of the surveyors - in fact, just to investigate, and if evidence about the Lich King and the Scourge can be found this time, then it will not be so troublesome later.

Illusia Barov had no choice but to agree.

It's not that she doesn't understand safety guidelines, it's that these paladins are too stubborn. It was true that Northrend, like a savage land, was not safe, but how could it be that in their eyes, the mage of Dalaran seemed to have no power to protect himself?

It can't be said that these stereotypical Northrend in the eyes of paladins and Northrend in the eyes of Dalaran are not the same place, right?

The final selection was confirmed, and a total of forty paladins participated in the mission, divided into four teams. The first three teams followed the mages to the area around Icecrown to accompany the reconnaissance, looking for suitable anchor points and setting up teleportation channels.

Among them, Da Sohan and Gavin Rad Doom led a team respectively, and the intention of this move is also very obvious. If you find signs of undead activity when you get there, then you don't have to worry about whether the teleportation channel is suitable or not, and you can go directly to investigate the matter of the Scourge Legion. That's why I handed over this burden to these two human first paladins.

The final team went to a proven magic network node in the Howling Fjords to build an energy supply magic array to provide energy support for the upcoming teleportation corridor to ensure that the passage was stable. Although Mage Dalaran considered this group to be the most onerous work, in the eyes of the Knights of the Silver Hand, who knew of the existence of the Scourge Legion, their mission was the safest because they did not have to go deep into the heart of Northrend and had a low chance of encountering the undead.

There was also a hiccup when assigning tasks.

Prince Arthas, who came with enthusiasm and wanted to do something big, was assigned by his teacher to carry out the safest mission in the Howling Fjord, and the failure to make it to the front line made the prince very dissatisfied, but Uther's reasons are equally good - it is not yet known the specific scope of activities of the Scourge Legion, and no one knows what kind of danger will exist in the area around Icecrown, you are a paladin, yes, but you are also the only crown prince of the kingdom of Lordaeron, I can't put you in danger.

Alsace had no choice but to accept the assignment. It is worth mentioning that Oryx Rivendell, who had just sworn to live and die with His Royal Highness, was assigned to Illusia Barov's team, targeting the Crystal Song Forest southeast of Icecrown.

After a night's rest, the next morning everyone was on their way.

Tearing through the barrier of space, portals opened one after another, and passages flowing with azure magical spiritual mist appeared out of thin air, and through the dense blue mist, the scene of the target location was faintly visible. Following the lead mage, the paladins streamed in, most of them experiencing what it was like to pass through a portal for the first time in their lives.

Vertigo, a sense of shuttle, fragments of the physical world flying by on both sides......

Oryx didn't walk out of the portal, he was "spit out" by the portal, he only felt a mess of paste in his head spinning and turning, his legs were weak, and he knelt on one knee with a grunt, giving a big gift to Illusia Barov in front of him.

It's not that he is inferior, how many ordinary people have been on the space shuttle? Not to mention, the teleportation spell is much more powerful than the space shuttle.

In this era, Dalaran's overall spellcasting level is still far from catching up with the later generations—the blowout period came with the progress of the Battle of the Demon Pivot. As the main participant, Dalaran has achieved great benefits in the fight against the mad magical guardian Malygos and some of his loyal blue dragons. A great deal of magical knowledge, which was a treasure even to the blue dragon, fell into their hands, and it was only then that Dalaran became the most knowledgeable organization of mortals.

At this time, Dalaran's spellcasting skills were still very backward, and there was only a tendency to "hidden" the blue to be better than the blue (blue refers to the High Elves who taught humans magic). The best example of this is the younger generation of magical genius Gianna Proudmoor, and throughout Dalaran, not many of the older generation of mages can master the almost instantaneous mass teleportation magic as her.

This is like heaven and earth compared to the phenomenon that seven or eight years later, a slightly stronger mage can open a portal to the world on his own for human passage. One was a rudimentary way to figure it out on his own, and the other was a giant who had grown up on the shoulders of a giant after gaining the precious magical knowledge of the Blue Dragons—a giant who still stood at the top of Azeroth's magical peak—and there was no comparison.

This also leads to the fact that in this relatively backward era, the experience of passing through the portal of Master Dalaran is not very good. It is an exaggeration to say that it is light to take off a layer of skin from the inside.

Oryx knows that other people's situation may not be as good as his own.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear the sound of vomiting, and when he looked sideways, the future Ember Bringer, Alexandros Mograini, who was holding a holy blade to slash the undead like a slaughtered chicken, was actually lying on the ground retching. His eyes widened, and he almost blurted out the phrase "Oh my holy light."

"Mr. Paladin, it's not a good idea to propose in a place like this."

The crisp and beautiful voice sounded, but it fell to the ears of Oryx, whose senses were still chaotic, but it seemed to come from the sky. He followed the sound and saw Illusia, wrapped in a thick white cloak, holding out a hand to him.

"Thank you." Aurex smiled and grabbed Illusia's small hand and stood up.

The other party smiled sweetly at her and went to assign the task. This team of people, in addition to her, has a total of five teleporters, not only to investigate the changes in the magic network, but also to find the node with the most sufficient energy in the magic network, and the workload is really not light.

"Alright, each of you will find a Paladin to accompany you, investigate separately, and act quickly!"
