Chapter 73: The South Sea Town Meeting
(Thanks to AAAGuns for the 500 tip!) )
It's not morning, and the town of Southsea isn't shrouded in a thick, cold black fog, but the people here still talk about the scene that happened fifteen years ago, the Lion of Azeroth, has become an eternal legend.
The news of the appearance of the undead in the north had reached the ears of the residents of Nanhai Town through the merchants and adventurers who came and went, but they did not care at all.
The Alterac Mountains are a natural buffer that protects the Hillsbrad Hills from the undead, and the town of Southsea, on the southernmost coast of the hills, is a quiet and peaceful place.
Before World War II, Nanhai was a town with only a dozen fishing boats, but now, with nearly 20,000 residents, it is the largest settlement in the whole of Lordaeron, compared to Brill, Daron County, and Talenmere in the north.
"What a great place, no threat from the undead." Fenna pointed to the inn not far away, and a look of nostalgia appeared on her face: "It was there that I met the traveling Pandaman Storm Master, when he was drunk and defeated three Ironforge Dwarves with his bare hands, and 5 adventurers from the Stormwind Kingdom, that scene I still remember." Nicholas, can you teach me your fighting techniques? I can pay you a good tuition! ”
"I'm happy to serve you, my lady." Jiang Zai smiled, looked at the heroic female paladin beside him, and tilted his head: "It's just that it may have to wait until a month or two later!" ”
"In a month or two?" Fenna was a little puzzled, could it be that this 15-year-old wonder boy was leaving Lordaeron?
Jiang Zai smiled and did not answer. Some things will soon be clear.
The three men soon came to the inn, and then heard a fierce quarrel inside:
"Recent reports describe the terrible fact that the number of undead disasters is increasing, and the whole of Lordaeron is under threat! Coupled with the number of people killed by them and then resurrected, the number of undead in the entire Tirisfal Glade has exceeded 10,000 at least! More from Daronmere! ”
"You're always making such a fuss, Fairbanks. Learn from your superiors, Alexandros would never have bothered with such a trivial matter. Didn't Uther personally assist the Prince of Arthas and Lady Gianna in quelling the scourge? With him, what are such undead afraid of? ”
"It's not as simple as you think, Abidis. Before I came, Uther had not advanced at all, and the number of undead was growing! The Knights of the Silver Hand must take responsibility for destroying the undead, which is why I called you! ”
"Alessandros, what is this? A crystal ball full of shadow energy? You've always kept it in your collection? And not to destroy it? If this Shadow Crystal unleashed all of its power, it's hard to imagine what damage it would do! The evil energy it contains...... Far beyond our imagination! ”
……
Hearing a series of quarrels, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Zai's face.
"It seems that we have come at the right time. I thought we'd have to wait here for a while. Jiang Zheng smiled at the lady beside him, and then walked towards the inn.
This inn has been controlled by the people of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and the people who are arguing inside are all the high-ranking members of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and the meetings they are having cannot be disturbed by anyone. If it weren't for Jiang Zai's excellent ear power, and the quarrel of those people inside was really loud, it would be impossible for him to hear a vague sound.
"Stop! We're sorry, but this place has been temporarily requisitioned by the Knights of the Silver Hand, so please come back later...... Are you Captain Fenna Golden Sword? And also...... Ms. Gianna Proudmoore? A paladin standing in front of the door had a look of surprise on his face.
As one of the most admired students of the Lightbringer Uther, Fenna is well-known, and many paladins have seen her - this is normal, don't forget that at this time, paladins are still in elite cultivation, and there are only more than a thousand people in total.
As for Gianna, her relationship with Arthas, even a three-year-old child in the whole of Lordaeron knew about it, and her consistent outfit, as well as the iconic purple epic staff in her hand, had long been circulated among people.
"It's me." Fenna glanced at Jiang Zheng, then nodded: "Trouble to report to the Great Lord of Alessandros, Lady Gianna and I, as well as the Kingdom Sir Nicholas Jiang, are here on the orders of Princess Kalia, and we must see the Great Lord immediately!" ”
"Okay, please wait." The paladin grimaced and walked into the inn.
Two minutes later, he walked out with a respectful tone, "The Great Lord let you in." ”
Walking into the Nanhai Town Hotel, Jiang Zai soon saw that in the hall, around a large table, there were several people sitting. Each of them is a veritable big man in Lordaeron.
Jiang Zheng glanced around, his gaze lingered on an old man in ordinary civilian clothes for a moment, and then cast it on the center of the table, a black crystal ball the size of a human head in a wooden box, and sensed the surging shadow energy contained in it.
"Crazy, scan!" Jiang Zai said lightly.
Soon, the results of Xiao Mad's scan came out, and Jiang Zheng's already small eyes narrowed even smaller, although he knew that this was the case, he was still shocked.
Everyone in this body contains energy that is not much worse than Gianna, and there are two of them who are the most powerful, and the energy on their bodies is even bigger than Gianna, which is a very terrifying holy light energy!
But even the two of them, the energy on their bodies is not as good as the black crystal ball in the middle of the table, and the shadow energy contained in it must be at the legendary level!
"Lady Gianna, Fenna, and Kingdom Sir Nicholas?" A man who was almost fifty years old, who seemed to be in good health and in good spirits, sat on the main seat, and at this time got up from his seat and looked at Gianna: "I'm sorry, we are in a meeting. ”
He is the Grand Lord of the Abbey of Tirisfa, the leader of the second generation of paladins, second only to the five knights of the Silver Hand, Alessandros Mograine, a veritable hawk who has always been unsmiling and treats his subordinates very harshly.
Under the scanning of the game warehouse, the holy light energy contained in his body was almost on par with the other person, and much higher than the others.
"Sorry to bother you, Your Excellency. We have come here because of a great matter in Lordaeron, and His Majesty has ordered you to return at once, and a meeting will be held at the palace to-morrow. Hey? ”
Gianna suddenly looked at the old man in ordinary civilian clothes opposite Alessandros, looked at it with some surprise for a while, and finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Uncle Tirio? Is it really you? ”
