Chapter 1033: The Enemy Hidden Among Us
Kael'thas looked at the chaos of the High School of Magic, and Nianus's body fell less than three meters in front of him, walking very unsettled, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he was dead.
Kael'thas couldn't believe it, and although the two sides didn't get along very well, he had to admit that the Justinian family did have noble blood, and each generation of their patriarchs had traveled far enough on the path of the caster, and Nianus Justinian was the best among them.
Both Kael'thas and Nyanus are indispensable high-end forces in Silvermoon City, and neither of the two sides will act with the goal of taking each other's lives, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the high-level.
But now, Nianus is dead, and a shadow dancer loyal to House Justinian has shouted, "For the glory of the Phoenix King!" He then stabbed Nianus in the back with a dagger of character.
As a high-level mage and wearing a magical outfit, Nyanus was killed without even letting out a fart, and none of the targeted protective gear worked as it should, as if the assassin had killed just a mortal.
The elves of the entire Silvermoon City knew that Kael'thas was a descendant of the Phoenix King, and the assassins had previously shouted slogans for the Phoenix King, directly putting Kael'thas on the flames, and those transcendents loyal to the Justinian family immediately launched a counterattack after witnessing the death of Nianus.
The first to die was the Shadow Dancer who backstabbed Nianus, a Shadow Dancer who was well-known in Silvermoon City, and Kael'thas smiled at him before he died, as if mocking his stupidity.
He had a chance to save the Shadow Dancer's life, as long as he released a few spells and killed the closest transcendent behind the Shadow Dancer, but Kael'thas didn't dare, once he made a move, he really couldn't clear his suspicions.
What's more, Kelses saw Death in the other party's eyes, and I am afraid that after he made a move, the shadow dancer would have other means to understand himself, and let others not see that he was committing suicide.
It was a simple but effective death, and Kael'thas had to silently endure the full consequences of it.
Thanks to the efforts of the Rulebreaker Guard, most of the transcendents who had followed Nianus were killed, and most of the rest were subdued.
"Someone wants to provoke our internal contradictions." Kael'thas said with red eyes, but it was meaningless, he could not have imagined that the followers of Nianus would be mixed with the dead of other forces, this should not have happened to the head of a family.
What's more, that dagger directly penetrated all the protective magic on Nianus's body, and it didn't even trigger the accident spell, even a legendary weapon couldn't do this, who gave the Shadow Dancer this dagger?
And inside Silvermoon City, what force came up with such a level of weapon? Only Kael'thas, who is a descendant of the Phoenix King!
It's a scheme.
"My lord, three people have escaped, and we can't catch up." The captain of the Spellbreaker Guard said with a solemn face, he knew what it meant, "I'm afraid we'll have to prepare for the family's counterattack." ”
Kael'thas sighed and glanced at the silent Dean of the High School of Magic: "My only request to you is not to get involved in any fight, and to ensure that the progress of the Well of Eternity is not affected, everything that happens in Silvermoon City has nothing to do with the Well of Eternity project, no matter who ultimately accepts the project, it must be completed!" ”
"Yes, Lord Kael'thas, you are a great king, and you will definitely put this storm to rest." The Dean had witnessed what had happened, but it was meaningless, and even if the families knew the truth, they would not believe it.
Kael'thas used the power of frost to create an ice coffin with an elaborate pattern, packed the corpse of Nianus, and escorted the followers of the House of Justinian with his own Guardian of Spellbreakers.
"Close the gates, activate the protective circle, and from now on, all external contact will be banned from the Higher Academy of Magic." The dean of the academy commanded in a low voice, "Don't let power fool your eyes, the Well of Eternity is the only way for us to return to the Age of Glory!" ”
The civil strife in Silvermoon City began, and as the news of Nianus's death spread, the transcendent elves loyal to the family gathered in their respective camps, and the armed forces in Silvermoon City were divided into several parts according to the choice of the commander.
The only thing to be thankful for is that because of Kael'tham's advance arrangement, the team that set up the Well of Eternity device outside Silvermoon City has not been affected too much, and is still completing its task step by step.
On the Warrior Street in the Sanzhi area, there are a large number of cases of missing people, but the elves living there are becoming more and more nervous, and many people have found bloody lines on their walls, but their demands are not heeded by any party.
Everyone is busy dealing with more serious issues, such as whether there will be a war between the family and the consuls, and whether Silvermoon City will fall into a civil war.
Julius remained in his cell, and his sister Minerva Justinian had not yet received news of Nianus' death, as Silvermoon City had now entered a shielded state, and the power of the Mystery Circle had completely cut Silvermoon City off from the outside world.
At this time, the Justinian family was taken over by Julius's mother, the female elf who had not gone far on the path of the transcendental, at this time had lost her former elegance, and Nianus was the most powerful mage she had ever seen in her life, and the foundation of the entire Justinian family.
And now this mainstay has been turned into a corpse, sent back to the mansion by the consul's men.
This was followed by a message from Kael'thas: "In any case, I will give an account to the Justinians." ”
But this is meaningless, the real culprit of the civil strife in Silvermoon City has not yet begun to really exert its strength, and in the afternoon of the same day, another elven family was attacked by Kael'thas's men, and with the efforts of his followers, they blocked the attack of those lawbreakers.
When Kael'thas learned the news, his first reaction was to disperse the guards inside the palace and stay alone in the room, he didn't know who else he could trust, and Nianus's death was still vivid, so he didn't dare to give his back to anyone.
The dagger was placed right in front of Kelsese, who studied it carefully and determined that this legendary-level dagger had never appeared in the history of elves.
An outside force has been mixed up in Silvermoon City, and just when the Well of Eternity project is about to succeed.
