"Your Excellency is too modest, and since you are so honest, let me tell you the truth," Unaston paused, "it is all a guide from the Light, and the voice of the Light tells me that you can be trusted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

This kind of divine remark made Luo Ning half-convinced, in his opinion, the Holy Light was only a magical energy, not fundamentally different from the arcane.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Forde hurriedly said: "No matter what, the knight of Unas is willing to trust the lord, and the lord is also willing to intervene in this matter, and there is no need to think about other issues now, the two, Modra is here." ”

When Ronin appeared, Modra knew that this battle could not be fought, and that the newly appointed young man, who had no roots, was at least nominally her leader, and that any Dalaran would have to respect him on the surface.

"Lord Luo Ning is actually free to come? I've heard that the Loaudin Circle you're presiding over is at a critical juncture. ”

"I'm afraid that Ms. Modra's news is wrong, the circle is in a difficult situation, and it is currently in a state of stagnation, I just came out to breathe, maybe I can find new inspiration."

Ronin's relationship with Modra was not cordial, a little more indifferent than that between his colleagues, because he was deliberately isolated by the Council of Six.

After Archmage Antonidas was killed by Arthas, the position of leader of Dalaran was vacant for a long time, and the power of the major core councilors was relatively even, and there was no hope of unification.

Ronin is actually persona non grata, so he is sent to save the Red Dragon Queen, which is an extremely dangerous mission, in the words of one councilor, "maybe we'll be lucky, Deathwing swallows Ronin in one bite and chokes to death, which will solve the two scourges permanently." ”

However, Ronin eventually saved the Red Dragon Queen from the Dragonthroat Clan, and also played a key role in defeating Deathwing, becoming a well-deserved hero.

He doesn't have enough seniority to rise to power, but Dalaran in danger needs heroes and leaders, and the new young face heralds the rebirth of the Mage City, and his marriage to Winlessa-Windranger has led many High Elves to support him, so the new leader of Dalaran is born.

Marrying an elven beauty and reaching the pinnacle of life, the newly appointed Ronin certainly wants to show his strength, but soon finds that it is difficult for the affairs or plans he wants to promote to be successfully approved by the council.

The old guys who hold real power just regard him as a good-looking façade, and do not really obey his leadership.

After understanding this, Luo Ning instead spent his mind on researching new defensive barriers, but secretly developing his own power, no matter where he was, a leader without roots always had no weight.

When Arnold Hearthstone returned to the city to find him and told him all about the Spider Forest, Ronin was overjoyed and felt that this was a good opportunity to increase his influence, so he agreed to mediate without hesitation.

Unas and Modra had just fought a battle, and at this time, they immediately faced each other with a little mustard, but the casualties on both sides were insignificant giant spiders or golems, and there was no mortal feud, and the mage power exposed in the paladin's hand also made Modra put away her contempt, and under Ronin's peace, she nodded and agreed to negotiate again.

"I'd like to see Archmage Merlin's letters, notes, and corpses, Knight Unas, I heard you're going to give them all to me, I wonder if you still think so?" Luo Ning only listened to the words of Master and Apprentice, so the first requirement was to look at the evidence.

"No problem, let's find a quiet place, and the evidence can be shown to you."

The group descended into a clearing, and Modra opened an enchantment that separated sound and video, and Unas took Merlin's frozen body and head first.

The tragic separation of the corpse and Merlin's young face were presented in front of several people, and both Modra and Ronin took a few steps closer to observe the corpse.

Unas handed Merlin's autographed experiment record to Luo Ning to look at, and after the other party carefully flipped through it, he sighed: "The heroes of the past have fallen to this point, I really don't want to believe all this in front of me." ”

"Hehe, Lord Luo Ning, don't be busy convicting, this corpse is not Archmage Merlin at all, and the so-called experimental notes can't be determined who wrote it, is it inappropriate for you to say 'degenerate' so quickly?" Modra completely denied the ironclad evidence in front of her, and it was simply a lie.

"The history books I once read record images of Merlin when he was young, with the same height, appearance, facial features, and hair color as this corpse," as a genius mage, it is well known that Ronin has the ability to remember things," Lady Modra can go to the Laran Library to verify, and the jewelry around the corpse's neck is the Ebola necklace, which is the hallmark of Master Merlin. ”

The magic necklace that can release the shield of absolute defense is also one of the legends about Merlin, which is the most direct evidence.

"As for the experimental notes, you and I are not handwriting experts, you can take it back to Dalaran for identification, and it will naturally be clear at that time."

"No! These things are insulting to Archmage Merlin's reputation, and must not be known to more people. ”

"And what are Mademoiselle Modra's plans?"

"Destroy them all," Modra really intended to cover up the facts, and said in exchange, "Knight Unas, hand over the letter and the ruins of the Mage Tower, I will no longer pursue your manslaughter of Master Merlin, just let this matter be dusted to the ground, I don't want anyone to know about it except for those who already know." ”

She had already made concessions and did not mention the conditions for Shadra, if she could really cover up the whole thing, it would not be a good thing for Unas, he thought about it and was about to agree, but Luo Ning sneered and sneered.

"When there is a scandal, you only know how to cover it up, this is your usual corrupt style! The new Dalaran will not be able to inherit these rotten traditions, and the great heroes will degenerate into the devil, which is the best warning for all mages, and I have decided to make this matter public! ”

As a mediator, the dispute should have been settled as soon as possible, but Ronin wanted to further expand the situation, which surprised both Fode and Unas.

Modra's voice was cold and terrifying, "Do you know the consequences of this? ”

Publicizing this matter would offend a large number of people who have a relationship with Merlin, especially the old-fashioned forces represented by Modra, but Ronin doesn't care, the old-fashioned forces are already alienating him, and what he wants to win is younger, newers with a greater sense of justice.

"What consequences? Ms. Modra, please. ”

"The council will not agree to your approach, you will become the enemy of all mages, I will be the first to propose impeachment, you will be dismissed and expelled, and you will never be able to get close to Dalaran."

"Alarmist, there is complete evidence here, I don't believe that there is no fairness and justice in Dalaran!"

"You can try, but I advise you to think again, you are fighting against the whole of Kenrito, and you are doomed to fail!"

Modra brushed her sleeves away, she couldn't use force against Ronin, she had to go back to the other councillors, and then put pressure on the young bastard together.

In a green light, most of the mages in the sky followed Modra back to the city, only the three of the Rose Thorns did not leave, they were left as spatial locators, and there were people in both Dalaran and the Spider Forest who could open the portal at any time.

Unas didn't know what to say anymore, and although it didn't completely solve the problem, Ronin shifted the main contradiction away, and it wasn't a wrong choice to invite him over.

"I didn't expect Your Excellency to be more upright than I thought, you are willing to make this matter public, and I will definitely support it to the end."

"Can the Knight of Unas give me Merlin's letter as well?"

Unas took out all the letters, "Most of them are ordinary letters, they are normal correspondence with friends, only a few are written in ciphertext, and I can't even read the name of the messenger, and my mage can't decipher it, so I'll leave it to you." ”

Luo Ning quickly browsed it and shook his head, "This kind of ciphertext requires specific symbols or letters as a password to be deciphered, and it cannot be deciphered in a short period of time. ”

Forde interjected, "My lord, do you really want to investigate this matter publicly?" I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, I will bear the consequences, and this can also be regarded as a temptation, if it really doesn't work, I won't hold on."

Ronin is not an unrealistic idealist, this is his challenge to the old forces, it will give him a clearer view of who can be an ally and who is an obstacle, whether it is really public scandal is not so important, and if the pressure is too great, he is ready to compromise.

"That's good." Forde let go of his worries a little, and he was the one who was most vulnerable to the impact when things got bigger.

"I believe that the council will notify me to go to the meeting soon, I am going back, Knight Unas, you are willing to trust me, and I will not disappoint you, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Unas has no more advice to say, and only hopes that Ronin will be as reliable as in the plot and can solve the problem properly.

Luo Ning returned to the city in a flash of light, and it seemed that all the mages of Dalaran had this magical magic stone.

Unas bowed slightly to Master Fod's apprentice and said, "Thank you two for your help this time, otherwise we might have been defeated by Modra." ”

This is of course a modest statement, as the highest combat power of his own side, he has not personally gone into battle, if he fights to take a few big fireballs and ice arrows, fly by himself or ride the blue dragon to rush over, it will definitely be able to greatly disrupt the opponent's spell casting, but the risk is too great, there is no need to do it until the critical moment.

"It's just a gesture, and the knight of Unas doesn't need to be polite."

"I'm going to evacuate here, and I'm going to tell the female mages that the ruins of the mage tower and the two underground floors belong to them."

This place is a place of right and wrong, and the female mages regard Merlin's ruins as a treasure land, but it doesn't make much sense for Unas to occupy it, and he has already decided to retreat to the Fairy Lake.

"No problem, we're going to stay here and wait for the outcome of the council's negotiations."

While the two rode griffons to find the three members of the Rose Thorns, Unas and the Blue Dragon flew back, and as he passed the Golem Cluster, he found that there was also a Master Dalaran who had not left, and was fiddling with the damaged Golems.

He hurriedly let the blue dragon land and greeted the man, "Hello, Your Excellency is the maintenance staff of these golems?" ”

"No, no, I'm the Golem Master Pino, these constructs are all my design, you kid actually said I'm a maintenance worker?" The old man with messy hair blew his beard and glared, and he didn't look like a master designer at all.

"It turned out to be Master Pino, who has admired the name for a long time, and I heard that you are the greatest Golem Master in Dalaran." Unas was blowing nonsense, he had never heard of this man before.

"Nonsense, only the dead are described as the greatest, can you kid speak?"

This old man has such a strange temper, Unas didn't expect it to be able to shoot the horse's legs, "How could it be?" The greatest in my heart is the most powerful and the most famous, and I don't mean to curse you to death. ”

Such harsh words did not cause the other party to be unhappy, and Pinault nodded, "It's pretty much the same." ”

"Since you are the designer of these golems, can you take the liberty of asking how much these golems cost?"

"The cost? What do you want? It's my trade secret. Pinault immediately became sensitive.

It turned out that this guy was a businessman, and Unas hurriedly corrected it, "I said it wrong, if I want to buy these golems, what is the price?" ”

"You want to buy it?" Pinault didn't have much interest, I heard that there was not even enough to eat in this poor and remote place, how much money could he have? But he still made a skilled offer: "These are all T40 types, which can be freely equipped with a variety of external equipment, suitable for any terrain operations, the unit price is 3,000 gold, and you can buy more at a reasonable discount." ”

As long as three thousand, the cost of the Sorisen steel puppet is more than twenty times lower, but the steel puppet has the ability to attack from a distance and has been beaten a lot, three thousand is actually not cheap, one hundred units cost three hundred thousand, and this money is enough to equip one or two hundred heavy troops.

Unas inquired about this mainly to get some technology, and the Thorsilver Brotherhood promised to help him design a cheap and easy to use golem, but so far he has not come up with a viable design, and Dalaran's Golem Master may be able to provide some technical support.

"It's only three thousand, it's really cheap, I recently seized some puppets made by the black iron dwarves, and each cost 80,000 gold."

"What? It's so expensive, you're not lying to me, are you? ”

"How so? You can see them as long as you go to my stronghold in the canyon, the former king of the Black Iron Dwarves spent most of the treasury to make them, and their combat power is definitely commensurate with the cost, you T40 may not be able to get close and be electrocuted. ”

Pino's curiosity was piqued, "Can those puppets unleash lightning?" I'm going to have to see it. ”

"You're always welcome."

"Oh, it's not right now," Pinault scratched his hair, "that old witch ran away without saying a word, so I can only take care of the golem here, and the old witch's account hasn't been settled yet, so I won't want to lose it..."

Saying goodbye to the muttering Golem Master, Unas and the Blue Dragon returned to the ruins of the Mage Tower, everyone in the Mage Group was meditating or resting, and the magic power could be replenished with gems, but the spirit consumed could only be slowly recovered, and their consumption in this battle was very large.

Unas woke them up one by one, "Let's rest when we get to the Fairy Lake, and now everyone will set off immediately." ”
