To the south of southern Xinjiang is the magical capital of Dalaran, and in connection with the previous change in Presto's demeanor, it is not difficult to guess that the Silver Fortress is mixed with the people of the Magic Empire.

Anduin glanced at Marin, a little curious about the old fox's position, he did not directly mention the Magic Empire, which means that Marin is not on the opposite side of the Magic Empire, listening to little White say that Marin is a native of the Holy Empire, but he has a close relationship with the famous figures of the panda people and kobolds, as if he is a neutral person with a transcendent status.

As if sensing Anduin's eyes, Marin explained: "Don't worry, a few kittens won't make any trouble, but the lion who is no longer napping, you should pay attention to it!" ”

A lion not napping?

Anduin raised his eyebrows, knowing that Marin was talking about Konstantin, who had just been announced to be the Sun Pope, although he had known that Konstantin was an ambitious figure through various information earlier, he still wanted to hear Marin's evaluation: "Old fox, what do you think of this lion? ”

"What can I think, an idle savage?" Marin replied lightly, but still lowered his voice and whispered, "Do you know the status of the Silver Fortress in the Holy Empire? ”

Anduin's eyes condensed slightly: "The Silver Fortress is located in the northeast corner of the Holy Empire, responsible for guarding the Silver Trench, resisting the attack of the orcs, and its political, economic and cultural influence is enough to radiate a large area of the entire east and north. ”

"That's a good point, but do you know which one of your words is the most important?"

The old fox suddenly elongated his voice, and his tone seemed old-fashioned, and Anduin immediately blurted out: "First sentence! Looking at the entire continent, on the bright side, the Holy Empire and the orc tribe are the most powerful, and the rest of the forces are supporting roles, but at the junction of the two countries, there is only the hub of the Silver Fortress, if the Orcs do not want to pass through the Silver Fortress, then there are only two ways to choose, either to cross the sea by boat, or to cross the border of goblins and gnomes. ”

Marin glanced at Anduin with some appreciation: "Yes, this is the most important place of the Silver Fortress, almost everyone knows that no matter how severe the situation of the Holy Empire is, as long as the Silver Fortress remains stable, then the royal family will have a chance to turn the situation around, but if the Silver Fortress is slightly worse, the entire Holy Empire will set off turmoil, and right now, the Silver Fortress is in turmoil, Terenus is old, some people want him to die soon, some people want him to die later, those people are like poisonous snakes hidden in the dark, Entrenched around the Silver Fortress, ready to take a bite at any moment, the Majestic Scepter did the opposite, jumping directly onto the table. ”

Marin's gaze looked through the car window at the shops and tourists on the street, and his voice drifted faintly into Anduin's ear: "Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Silver Fortress now? ”

"Putting aside neutral countries such as gnomes, kobolds, and pandamen, and ignoring goblins and trolls, then it is more obvious that there are the imperial royal family, the magic empire, the orc tribe, the three kingdoms, as well as the Holy Light Holy See, the Twilight Holy See, plus the newly established Sun Holy See, the three Holy Sees!"

Hearing this, Marin smiled slightly: "You really forgot about the existence of elves." ”

Anduin suddenly showed a strange expression, of course he hadn't forgotten the elves, but the problem was that the legitimate heir of the elven empire was sleeping in the well of the sun at the moment! But he still experienced a little special taste from Marin's deliberate mention......

The topic of the situation in the empire stopped, and Anduin began to inquire about the current situation of the Hearthstone Inn, and learned that Fordin's injuries were basically healed, and the Hearthstone cards set off quite a wave in the inn, although Anduin only released the basic cards, but also made the explorers and architects, quickly immersed in the atmosphere of "intrigue".

It is also worth mentioning that Martin's change, after surviving the initial period of faith destruction, Martin gradually accepted the reality, occasionally tried to make his own home-cooked food, and gradually gained the approval of the hotel's customers.

The two then began to chatter with each other, until the carriage entered the palace gates, and the old fox, led by Gerald, went straight to the banquet room, and Anduin and Gordon went to the royal kitchen.

It was only then that Gordon had the opportunity to express his feelings: "I thought that I would take this opportunity to compete with you, the Earl of Anduin, but the result was that I greatly overestimated myself and lost completely. ”

Anduin waved his hand: "What you are short of is just experience, I believe that your horizons have been completely broadened now, and it won't be long before you can catch up." Okay, now is not the time to mention this, first prepare the wedding banquet dishes. ”

"Yes, Count Anduin, I'll do it for you."

……

The sudden establishment of the Solar Curia had an extremely significant impact on the important guests from all over the Holy Empire, who stood together in twos and threes, holding wine glasses in their hands, but they all talked about very serious political topics, making the wedding banquet, which should have been extremely relaxed, have a solemn smell out of thin air.

Seeing this situation in her eyes, Princess Kalia couldn't help but whisper to Presto beside her, "Really, why does the solemn scepter have to choose this time to announce the news?" The so-called Sun Holy See has completely overshadowed our wedding! ”

Presto was a little absent-minded, and replied hesitantly, which made Princess Kalia feel strange, and pointed to Arthas, who was not far away, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Even if the establishment of the Sun Church is indeed shocking, you will not be what you are now, right? ”

Presto glanced at Arthas, others didn't know the situation of His Royal Highness the Prince, but he knew it clearly, and noticed Princess Eliza, who was wearing a purple shirt, walking slowly, so he pretended to sigh: "Who said it wasn't, the Sun Holy See is like a knife, suddenly inserted into the Silver Fortress, even I am a little difficult to accept, let alone Arthas, after all, sooner or later he will have to deal with this serious problem head-on, okay, let's not mention this for the time being, if you feel unhappy, then let's go to Count Anduin, I think eating something new and delicious in advance will change your mood. ”

"Great idea!"

Princess Kalia was very approving, and immediately made an invitation to Eliza, who came closer, and after receiving an affirmative reply, she suddenly remembered Arthas's marriage, and called His Royal Highness the Prince, but what made her strange was that Arthas saw Eliza, completely lost her amazing eyes, and was replaced by a trace of fear, and before she could figure out the reason, Eliza took the initiative to step forward very abnormally, hugged the slightly stiff Alsace, and asked softly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, am I very ugly?" ”

Arthas glanced at Eliza, and the tragic scene of the underground world resurfaced in his mind, and he hurriedly looked away, and said embarrassedly, "No. ”

"Then why are you so afraid of me?" Eliza bared her snow-white teeth, "Can I still eat you?" ”

Arthas shook his head with a dry smile, where is the temperament of a prince on his body, like a trembling sheep, facing the big bad wolf with bad intentions. Although Princess Kalia was strange about the state of the two, she couldn't help but smile when she saw their intimate behavior, thinking that Arthas's marriage problem had finally been solved, but Presto, who was standing beside her, had a different opinion and knew Arthas's psychological state very well at this time.

It can't be said that His Royal Highness the Prince's concentration is too poor, and if you want to blame it, it will be blamed on several things that happened one after another, either too bizarre or too coincidental.

Then, the four of them quietly came to the back kitchen, and smelled the fragrance from a distance, Princess Kalia's curiosity was aroused, and the troubles were immediately reduced a lot, Eliza raised her arrogant neck, deliberately showing a demeaning look: "Seeing that he said so much before, he was about to blow the Hearthstone Hotel into the sky, it turned out to be nothing more than that, this smell is not even comparable to the chef of the royal family." ”

The sharp contradiction between Eliza and Anduin made her ignore Kalia's feelings, and blurted out, only to realize that she had made some gaffes, however, she noticed that Princess Carlia suddenly looked at her, but as soon as she remembered Anduin's hateful face, she gritted her teeth and did not let go, and at the same time grabbed Arthas's arm and suddenly strengthened it, making His Royal Highness feel that he was being tortured by iron pincers, but he could only endure the torture.

However, just as the four of them walked to the door of the back kitchen and were about to go in, Anduin's voice suddenly came from the door: "The kitchen is heavy, idle people, etc., please don't approach!" ”

"Who do you say are the idlers?"

Eliza didn't wait for others to react, and immediately gritted her teeth and said, Anduin gently pushed the door open and drilled out of it, so that everyone couldn't see the situation in the room, he looked at the imperial princess, and said with a faint smile: "Whoever just answered, who is an idle person, etc." ”

"You!" Eliza's pretty face was slightly cold, and she continued to ravage Arthas, "Don't think that if you have a noble title, you can wantonly insult the princess of the empire!" Did you know that with just one word, I can take off your earl title! ”

"Ahem."

Princess Kalia felt that the situation was becoming more delicate, and immediately stepped forward to stop: "Princess Eliza, for the time being, Count Anduin has received the promise of his father, and when Stormwind Town is officially completed, he can be officially promoted to marquis, so ......"

"So your words don't work at all."

Anduin clapped his palms, ignoring Eliza's murderous gaze, turned to Kalia and asked, "Your Highness Princess, everything is ready, when can the banquet begin?" ”

Kalia, who was still planning to eat some delicious food in advance, felt a little regretful in her heart, but she suddenly wanted to put the surprise to the end, so she immediately summoned the attendants, ordered to go down and start the table immediately, and invited Anduin to take a seat, Anduin did not refuse, turned back and said to Gordon, and walked to the banquet area with everyone, along the way, Eliza glared at Anduin, and Anduin quietly glanced at Presto.

Presto's expression was grim, and he sighed in his heart, realizing that Anduin had already noticed that the Magic Empire was coming, and he also knew that the possibility of wanting to secretly ask for help to relieve the poison was very small, he didn't know why Andu wanted to spare his life, and he didn't understand why the Magic Empire suddenly sent someone to come, and Presto, who was caught between the two sides, had no choice but to go with the flow.

When he entered the table, Anduin and Arthas also sat on the left and right sides of Terenus, and on the other side of Anduin, it was Zhou Zhuo, a traveling scholar who rushed back in time, the panda people were very popular in the Holy Empire, and even had some friendship with Tyrenus in the early years, but Marin, who left the Hearthstone Hotel with him, refused to sit at the main table, the reason was that he found a business partner at the banquet The two of them sat together and buried their heads in the discussion, which seemed very enthusiastic.

It is worth mentioning that Constantine, the majestic scepter, sat opposite Terenus, and the two men represented the two mountains that stood on the Silver Fortress, even at the dinner table, forming a momentum of opposition to each other.

Konstantin's gaze was soft and deep, just looking at his appearance, he would not have realized that this was an ambitious existence, and almost as soon as Anduin first appeared, his gaze fell on Anduin, although there was a taste of scrutiny in his eyes, but it was unusually not boring, like an enlightened senior, looking at outstanding juniors, full of appreciation and expectation.

However, what should come will always come, and Constantine made an invitation to Anduin: "Anduin, as the embodiment of the Light, you naturally stand on the opposite side of the Twilight cultists, and now, the Silver Fortress needs your strength, and I want you to set an example." ”

Anduin frowned without a trace: "Please also ask the Pope, you can say it clearly." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, you haven't grown up yet, we're just going to bring you tighter protection and won't push you into danger. Anduin, you should know how much impact the establishment of the Holy See will have on the majority of believers, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I sincerely hope that you can publicly announce that you will join the Holy See of the Sun, although this is only a temporary move, but it can reduce a lot of criticism for the Holy See of the Sun. ”

Constantine's voice was particularly sincere, as if he had completely forgotten that it was Anduin who killed the old Pope St. Francis.

"I'm sorry, Pope, but I don't think I have that much influence."

"No, you have, because I've announced that you discovered the secret gathering of the Twilight cultists, helped me as the embodiment of the Light, and nip the darkness in the bud, and before long, the news will spread throughout the Silver Fortress, at least at the level of ordinary believers, you have influence that cannot be ignored."

Konstantin's smile was very natural, even if he made up a lie plainly, he did not reveal the slightest discoloration, which made Anduin can't help but sigh, he really deserves to be a person who became the Pope, and the depth of the city made him only amazed.

"Anduin, the dangers of the Twilight cultists, you already know it, and your every move may even determine the direction of the Silver Fortress."

Hearing the words of the solemn scepter, Anduin suddenly felt the momentum of Terenus, and there was a fluctuation, and it was obvious that the act of openly digging into the foot of the wall touched the bottom line of His Majesty the Prince.

Facing two scorching glances, Anduin smiled indifferently: "Although I am the embodiment of holy light, I know that my ability is limited, and it is already my limit to retreat from twilight for Storm Wind. I'm sorry, Your Holiness the Pope, but I can't accept your invitation. ”
