Chapter Seventy-Eight: Kael'thas on Guard
The prince of the High Elves, the legendary mage above the Nine Rings, and a member of the Council of Six of Kenrito, Kael'thas leaned on a delicately upholstered chair, and the bright sunlight shone through the window, dotting a golden curtain of light on his body.
He glanced at the paladin standing in the center of the room, didn't get up, just waved his hand. With his movements, a thin piece of paper spread out on the desk slowly floated into Roland's hand.
"This is the royal family's reward for your outstanding performance in the Battle of Taquiline and for the development of a new class as a paladin, Baron Roland Morningsong."
Despite his high position, Kael'thas was gentle with the man in front of him who seemed to have good potential, without the slightest bit of arrogance in the face of humans.
"Baron?"
Roland was puzzled and carefully looked at the document in his hand. It was an official document conferring a knighthood on Quel'Salas, and it was signed to the High Elf prince Kael'thas in front of him.
Although it is not a real noble, and there is no fiefdom, this paper document is still very precious. Even for the high elves who are not valued by the class, there is still a certain gap between the commoners and the nobles, not to mention the insurmountable gap between the nobles and the commoners in human society.
By the time he read this document, Roland had already understood that he would never be able to escape this trip to Karazhin. However, as long as he keeps to himself, Kael'thas, who is also a High Elf, probably won't use himself as cannon fodder, right?
Kael'thas didn't interrupt Roland's thoughts, but turned his head to look at the female elf beside the paladin, and said with a smile: "Liadrin, after studying with our first paladin for so much time, have you mastered the way of the paladin?" ”
"Thanks to Mentor Roland's teachings, I now have a basic understanding of what the Way of the Paladin is."
In the face of Kael'thas's inquiry, Liadline naturally did not complain to the prince in front of Roland, how irresponsible her teacher was, not only losing herself to his followers, but also teaching her the way of the paladin every few days.
However, the female elf did not lie, maybe there is really a compatible, in the game can become the head of the blood knight Liadrin, even under the half-hung Roland's teaching, still mastered the way of the paladin in a short period of time, I believe that after some time of consolidation, you can become a real paladin.
"Very well", the High Elf Prince nodded with satisfaction, he stood up and grabbed the staff resting on his desk, "I have reported to the Silvermoon Council to form the Holy Knights, and you will be the head of the Knights." ”
"I and a few of the big ones of the Kenrito Council. The mage will open the portal to Dalaran, and you and Lothmar will take this opportunity to return to Quel'Thalas, and we must be prepared for the ensuing war that will implicate our Queldore. ”
With that, he tapped the ground with his staff, "As for Baron Morning Song, stay here with your followers for the time being, and we will plan our next trip to Karazan tomorrow." ”
Before Roland could come to his senses, Kael'thas left the house with Lotherma and Liadrin.
"He doesn't trust you", just as Roland was stunned by Kael'thas for his hurried departure, the female knight's words directly shattered the silence in the room, "Maybe he thinks the abilities you gained from the Trolls' relics in the Battle of Taquiline are a threat, or maybe it's simply us human followers." ”
"I know."
Kael'tham, who has experienced royal education, will definitely not be an elf who knows etiquette, so the other party's current behavior must not be negligence, but deliberate, which makes Roland's heart that he put down before re-energized.
The High Elf Prince almost unequivocally expressed his distrust of himself with his actions, shattering Roland's previous good idea that he would not be used as cannon fodder.
The most cheating thing in life is knowing that your boss is worried about you, but unfortunately you can't change jobs.
Compared to Kael'thas, who is also a High Elf, it is estimated that the group of human mages from Dalaran will not have a good face for themselves. In other words, even if Kael'thas didn't treat him very well, he could only hug the elven prince's thigh tightly for the rest of the trip.
I can only be careful, and hope that Medivan will not wait for us to die in Karazhan. The paladin who walked out of the study was apprehensive, and subconsciously looked to the south, and was greeted by the tall snow-white city wall and the clear blue sky isolated by the wall.
A large annex to Stormstorm Fortress, five large men from the Kenrito Council. The mages formed a circle in front of an arched stone door engraved with a variety of intricate inscriptions and a large number of gems used to regulate the fluctuations of arcane power.
As the five mages exerted their strength at the same time, a majestic arcane power rippled in the sky above the courtyard, and it didn't take long for a six-pointed star emblem to flash on the stone door, and a ripple rolled up within the originally transparent door. Clean and pure arcane energy converged within the arched door, forming a swirling vortex.
"It's done!"
With Antonidas' words, the five of them stopped their movements at the same time.
"Prince Kael'thas and I will go to Dalaran to gather our men, please guard the portal here", Antonidas glanced around the crowd and stepped into the portal, followed by Kael'thas with the Elven Ranger and Liadrin.
"I'm going to gather the Spellbreaker forces of Quel'Thalas", without saying anything more to the old mage, Kael'thas turned and walked towards the High Elf mage who had been waiting nearby by himself before setting off again, after making sure that the two elves behind him had reached Dalaran safely.
"Darkan, immediately gather all the lawbreakers who are on standby in my mage tower, we must go and seek justice for our assassinated compatriots!"
"Follow your orders, Your Highness," Darkan bowed respectfully, bowed deeply, and turned to catch the carriage that had been prepared beside him.
"Now, Lotherma, and Liadrin, you can tell me more about Baron Morningsong, what have you discovered along the way?"
Kael'thas took Lotherma and Liadline to a hut near the portal and began asking them about the Elven Paladin, "Most importantly, did Mephistopheles' disciple Passarein contact him?" ”
Speaking of this, the elven prince's face showed a deep jealousy.
