Chapter 18: Family Concerns
When Su Chen sighed at his fate, he also had to sigh at Uther's loyalty, and even such an order would really be carried out.
Of course, his father, Terenus Minahir II, seemed to be old, and even agreed to dissolve the Knights of the Silver Hand.
But what made him even more speechless was that his 'captive' Iluthia didn't even know the way north, and this ** division of Dalaran only stayed on that map for the concept of going north.
"I wasn't a ** master when I came to Dalaran from Kelseron, and I came in my family's carriage at that time, and I didn't pay attention to the road at all, but ...... We can go find a carriage heading north. Elucia's face flushed slightly.
In addition to being a little ashamed because she didn't know the way home, in fact, it was more because she was still hugging Su Chen close to her body at the moment, she was originally only wearing a white gauze skirt, and at the moment she was soaked in the lake, and she had already completely attached to her body, as if she had nothing, and Su Chen was also dressed lightly after taking off her armor, she could even feel the feeling of skin friction between the two, which was something she had never experienced since she was a child who had received a strict aristocratic education!
However, due to the great fear caused by falling into the water before, she instinctively hugged Su Chen tightly and did not dare to let go.
"Now we are all fleeing for our lives in the south, and we are the only ones who have gone north along the way, so how can there be a carriage going north." Su Chen smiled bitterly, this ** master from a noble background was obviously still confined to the luxurious mage tower.
"So what do we do now? Dalaran's mage will surely catch up soon. Ilucia looked at Su Chen rather blankly at the moment.
Robbing from Violet Prison under the noses of many strong ** masters, that was undoubtedly a provocation to the entire Dalaran Kingdom, especially since there were betrayers among the ** masters, Su Chen could imagine that those Kenrito mages who were proud of the entire Azeroth Continent would definitely go all out to hunt them down.
"Didn't you think about how to deal with their hunt when you made your plan to rob the prison before?"
"Of course I did...... According to the plan, it is to sail directly north to reach the Tirisfard Glade in Lordaeron, due to the raging undead in the north, the kingdom of Dalaran is still not ready for a full-scale war with the undead, they will definitely not chase to the Tirisfard Glade, and Uncle Les can guarantee our safety in the north, but now...... The ship is gone, and Uncle Rice doesn't know if he can swim......" said Illucia, frowning and looking back at the place where the sailboat had sunk, but it was already dark, and she couldn't see anything, not even a trace of battle.
"The old man...... Well, what is the reason why your uncle is being imprisoned in Violet Prison? Although your Barov family has declined, you are still a top nobleman, and you are Dalaran's ** division, how can they imprison your uncle? Su Chen asked with some curiosity, that old man was able to use dark power, and it seemed that it was mostly related to the undead natural disaster.
He ...... Uncle Les was not from our Barov family, he was a good friend of my father, and it was he who introduced Kel'thugad to my father. There was a hint of hesitation in Illucia's gaze.
"Kel'thugad?" Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he never expected to hear this familiar name here, since the old man knew Kel'thugad, it was indeed able to ensure their safety in the north.
Iluthia nodded slightly, but she didn't notice the strangeness on Su Chen's face, and continued to explain: "Well, Kel's Quethugad is also the ** division of Dalaran, and he is still an extremely good one, if he doesn't take another path, he will definitely be able to become one of the members of the Council of Six in the future." ”
Su Chen didn't expect her to have such a high opinion of Kel'thugad, although he was very familiar with Kelthugad in that game, but after all, he didn't know Kelthugad before his death......
"Uncle Les was also an excellent arcane mage, and he also guided me in the study of arcane when I was young, and was considered my enlightenment teacher in magic, but he was also influenced by Kel'thugad, and began to study dark magic and spiritism, because he used spiritism on the farmers of Tarummir many years ago, he was discovered by the 'Eye of Dalaran', and then he was captured in Violet Prison."
"My father and Kel'thugad tried a lot to save Uncle Les, but Dalaran's defenses were too strong, and eventually they arranged for me to go to Dalaran to find a chance to save people, and they changed my identity for me, and used my mother's connections to arrange everything for me, and I was even able to ......study in the mage tower of Lord Antonidas," Elucia whispered, and began to recall some of the past.
To Su Chen's surprise, when she mentioned Antonidas, her eyes and tone were full of respect, which was not at all like the emotions that a betrayer should have.
"You know what...... Actually, I really want to study the arcane arts in Dalaran all my life like other mages, and I'd rather stay in the stacks of books in the mage tower forever......" Iluthia said suddenly, but then fell into frustration again: "But I am a member of the Barov family, since we lost most of our territory more than ten years ago and were confined to the small island of Keldaron, the Barov family has been in decay, when I was a child, my father used to drink heavily, and often quarreled with my mother, and my brother and I had to hide in the room in fear every time. Hiding under the covers...... I have been studying magic very hard since I found out that I have a good talent for magic, hoping to become a ** teacher when I grow up, and then have the ability to help the family become strong again, so that my parents will no longer quarrel...... But before I became a ** teacher, my father had already decided to follow Kel'thugad to join the Cult of the Damned......"
This is obviously a common occurrence in a noble family with a down-to-earth family.
Illucia's voice was very low, and with the fact that she was still hugging Su Chen, it sounded like a lover's whisper in her ear.
Su Chen just silently continued to swim towards the shore of the lake, he didn't expect that his casual inquiry would cause her to reminisce.
However, it seems that this beautiful mage from a great noble family seems to be full of contradictions.
And thinking of her final ending, Su Chen sighed secretly in her heart, it seems that she finally chose her family, followed her parents to join the Cursed God Cult, and became an undead and became the boss in the Psychic Academy.
"The Cult of the Cursed God is not good." Su Chen reminded with some hesitation.
"I know that I went out of my way to read a lot of books on spiritism when I was in Dalaran, and that was a disaster for humanity...... But spiritism does bring great power, and my father is in desperate need of it. ”
"They can't control this power, it will only harm them in the end, you should stop them." Su Chen recalled the tasks of those psychic academies, and the end of the Barov family could be described as extremely bleak.
"It's too late, Lordaeron has been destroyed by the undead, and I've heard that the Cult of the Damned and the undead under Arthas are one, so Keldaron must be full of undead......" Illucia sighed.
"What about you...... Don't go back......"
Su Chen didn't know why he was suddenly worried about her fate, maybe it was because the fate of Alsace was also a tragedy.
