Chapter 12: "Punishment"
What happened in the past and in the future on the continent of Azeroth, especially what happened around the first year of the entire World of Warcraft era, Russell naturally knew it, but Brenda, who had just ordered Russell to be punished, did not know. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He just guessed that this time there would be big trouble!
A few days ago, a shocking news came from Dalaran: two mages sent to Karazhan by Stormwind City, the advisors of King Ryan of Stormwind Kingdom, had been murdered.
Such news is tantamount to today's bad news.
How could it happen that Karazan was inhabited by a great mage who was praised by the entire kingdom of mankind, and who existed to protect humanity?
So some speculation and rumors that followed circulated from the upper echelons who came into contact with the news, and it also caused a period of panic. Thankfully, King Ryan's old relationship with the great mage and guardian of humanity put the matter under hold for the time being. However, the arrangement behind it is thought-provoking: the senior generals of the four major group armies have all been sent out to do another job of their own: military training.
Brenda, a high-ranking general who was mixed in with the upper echelons of the kingdom, naturally heard such rumors, and at the same time quickly understood such an arrangement.
But...... But he had his own plans.
After "pitting" Russell in style, Brenda and Nyio's middle-aged mage Henry left in style. Along the way, the two of them forgot about the previous topic for the time being.
"Brenda, I thought...... After so many years, you have long lost your childish temperament, I didn't expect it, haha......" Henry said with a smile, meaning to show that he had seen through Brenda's little tricks.
Brenda shrugged his shoulders as he walked, pretending to be relaxed: "No way, when you come to a place like this, you can't get serious...... But then again, did you find anything from that kid? ”
"Of course!" Speaking of this, Henry's eyes lit up: "There seems to be a flow of energy in his body, and he may have been exposed to some spell cultivation ......"
"What, spells?" He had no doubts about the vision of his childhood friend Henry, although the talent of this best friend in front of him was not high, but he had been in contact with the study of spells since he was a child, and he would never be mistaken.
However, Brenda has her own opinion: "It seems that one of us has only discovered a little ...... I just think that he should have been in contact with some great warrior, otherwise this kid wouldn't have such a strange but tricky move to deal with. ”
Henry was slightly startled, and then laughed heartily: "It seems that our Brenda Commander once regarded this young man as his opponent just now...... How did it feel? ”
No matter how deep the city is, Brenda still has a true temperament in front of her friends. Seeing that after Henry asked this question, he immediately frowned and was silent for a while before answering: "Fortunately, this young man did not deliberately train in strength and speed, otherwise this person ...... I'm afraid only General Lothar can deal with it! ”
Henry was shocked: "What! ”
Fortunately, Henry himself was also a person who was used to seeing the big world, so he immediately calmed down. At the same time, he immediately understood Brenda's intentions: "It seems that your 'punishment' just now is not only to help this kid sharpen his arrogant temperament, but also to train him to become a talent of the empire......"
Speaking of which, Brenda finally thought of the topic that the two had just discussed.
Brenda smiled slightly: "No way, the relationship between Stormwind City and some countries is tense now, although it will not lead to the outbreak of war immediately, but it is not so easy to find a decent talent, that is, it is a matter of effort!" ”
Henry also put aside Russell's matter for the time being, continued the discussion just now, and asked, "You said that King Lane sent you and the other three commanders back to their respective military academies...... Could it be ......?"
Brenda's eyes sank and she admitted, "Not bad! That's the rumor...... Two of the royal family's mage advisers have not been heard from since they went to Karazhan last month, and a few days ago news came from Dalaran's council that they had both died there......"
Brenda thought about it, so he didn't hide it from this friend, and continued to clarify the reason: "In the past two years, the relationship between Karazan and Stormwind City has been hot and cold, and King Ryan and General Lothar have not said it, but they are actually very worried in their hearts, so they send envoys to inquire from time to time. Some of the previous envoys were driven back without even seeing the face of the guardian, but I didn't expect this time to ......"
Henry sighed in his heart, pointed to it and asked, "Is it true that Karazan is like what they say, something has happened?" Have I heard that some of the animals and plants near Karazan are mysteriously aging and dying? Based on my years of research, this is only the case in a few ...... that we don't learn Alternative Magic ......"
Brenda was a little unhappy when she heard this, and her face immediately turned pale: "I don't know anything about magic, but I hope that no one in Stormwind City will casually make such speculations without evidence......" For the guardians and archmages who guard several human kingdoms, how much does Brenda still have reverence in his heart, not to mention that the person they are talking about now is still the childhood friend of the most respected King Ryan and Sir Lothar?
"Uh......" Henry smiled bitterly with a little embarrassment, "Well, when I didn't say that......"
Brenda's frustration was eased a little, but his thoughts seemed to immediately turn to the point, and he said for no reason: "But what you just said reminded me...... The people of Dalaran Tirisfa have always coveted what the Guardians have, and this time the news came from Dalaran...... Hum hum ......"
"This ...... Probably not......" Born in Stormwind City, but having studied some magic courses in Dalaran in his early years, Henry still didn't believe that the people there would create rumors to discredit Karazan as Brenda said.
Brenda stretched out a hand and patted her friend's shoulder, soothing with a smile, "Okay, that's just my guess!" You don't have to worry about your status...... The relationship between Stormwind and Karazan, and the relationship with Dalaran, the trade-off between this is not something that the two of us can decide, after all, there are too many things involved......"
The two talked again, but Brenda confided in front of her friends because of the matter, and the suppressed worry in her heart was still revealed.
"Let's hope it's not true...... Otherwise...... It will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to our peaceful Stormwind Kingdom......"
Trouble, say it in this person's mouth, it will be at least a war on a small scale!
Henry had long since detached himself from this level of contact, and as soon as he heard such words, he immediately turned a deaf ear and smirked. It wasn't until the two parted ways that he let out a breath of turbid air on a secluded path.
Looking back at the road from which he came, and the straight back of the road that had not been far away from the end of the road, Henry's eyes immediately lit up with a blue light, and then he quickly disappeared into the blackstone building in front of him, just like his figure.
