Leaving the group, Kael'thas walked alone.

He soon didn't have to worry about the exact location of his target—the dark aura that permeated the forest was the best guide.

The thick darkness made the air heavy, and even kept the animals of the forest away.

The wooden structure hidden among the trees caught the attention of Kael'thas.

The house has an area of several hundred square meters, and from the outside it looks no worse than the villas in the city, and it is clear that it was built over a long period of time.

It's been a long time since the orcs attacked Dalaran

Everything seemed to be exactly what Kael'thas had guessed.

He had always wondered how Dalaran's belongings had been stolen, Violet Castle was a mage tower with high defenses, and how a legendary mage could support others if he stayed in it.

But Kel'thugad left - the main cause of the theft.

But what did he leave?

Kael'thas didn't think Kel'thugad was the kind of person who would leave Violet Castle for no reason, and there must have been some other reason for him to leave.

The news obtained at Hillsbrad Farm gave Kael'thas the answer - the Death Knight.

Kel'thugad is a man with a unique penchant for necromancy, and when the elves reclaimed their home, they found the 'undead rat' he was experimenting with. How could such a person let go of the supreme masterpiece of necromancy, the 'Death Knight'?

Just as the orcs entered Dalaran there was some disgusting aura coming from the sewers, and those were supposed to be the Death Knights.

It seems that Kel'thugad deliberately drove Kael'thas away in order to capture the Death Knights.

He did it

But this success will also kill him immediately.

Kael'thas stood on a tree, looking down at the house below, slightly excited.

The smell coming from inside the house almost confirmed his thoughts, but Kael'thas decided to go inside and take a look.

He noticed that several mages were coming in and out of the house.

This is not a good situation

"Water elemental."

After thinking for a while, Kael'thas summoned the water elemental and drove it to make a noise in the forest behind it.

The sound attracted the attention of some mages.

"There are intruders!"

"Catch him!"

Several mages immediately chased after them.

Kael'thas cast a levitation spell and slowly landed on the ground without a sound.

He became invisible, and ran into the room.

The aura of darkness peeked out from beneath the ground, rendering the rest of the house's disguises useless.

[That's a fool.] 】

Kael'thas scolded Kel'thugad.

People with strength can directly find the source when they enter this house, while those who don't have strength will be blocked by the mages outside, and it is obviously superfluous that this house is built so well.

Soon a downward passage was revealed, and it was pitch black inside.

Kael'thas had his invisibility lifted, and he cautiously walked down, luckily there was no one in the passage.

After making two turns on the staircase that had been walking down, Kael'thas saw the light and the sound of conversation on the side of the end.

He walked over and poked his head out a little bit with his back against the wall.

The scene unfolding in front of Kael'thas shocked him, and he had to cover his mouth with his hand to keep from exclaiming.

It was a laboratory surrounded by torches, and at the very back was a death knight suspended from chains and magic collars, and his pale, air-conditioned skin was chilling to look at.

But that's not the point

The point is that in addition to this Death Knight, there are four brutally dissected corpses in this laboratory, and the internal organs and blood are rolling all over the floor.

A few mages were talking and laughing, talking about the next test subject.

It's disgusting

Kael'thas left without hesitation.

Half a day later, he quietly returned to Dalaran and asked a few elven mages to deliver a message to Antonidas.

There was no reply, but it didn't matter, Kael'thas had been paying attention to Antonidas's movements, knowing that this ** division was quickly sending people to investigate in the forest in the report.

No matter how much he loved his disciples, Antonidas was a wise man after all, and he knew what to do.

If Kel'thugad was really doing research on the dead, Antonidas would never let him go.

Kael'thas just had to wait for time.

This gave him time to make small talk with Medivan in the room.

"You're right to keep me from acting lightly, and Kel'thugad won't be able to fly this time."

Kael'thas was grateful for Madison's warning, which relieved him a lot:

"Kenrito won't let him go even if he conducts a [***] experiment."

Medivan nodded slightly.

"He can't escape."

Then the old mage looked at Kael'thas and reminded:

"But don't forget the most important thing, there is still a long journey ahead of Sal's side."

"You have to stay with him, at least until he becomes a shaman."

This is a condition that has been agreed upon from the beginning.

But in fact, Thrall's future is fixed after he becomes a shaman, he will spread the shamanic ways and rescue the people to become the third great chief of the orcs, but this can be done without Kael'thas involvement.

Kael'thas looked at Medivan.

"I've successfully rescued Sal, and I can count half of the agreement as completed."

He said with some hesitation:

"Can you let me be sure of something?"

Mediven won't tell Kael'thas the identity of the Queen of the Dead until the agreement is complete, but he can't wait to find out.

"Tell me about it."

Medivan didn't say no.

This unexpected answer made Kael'thas light up in the eyes.

"I want to know the race of the Queen of the Dead first."

He asked, slightly nervous.

This question is a sideshow, but in fact, it does not violate the agreement.

"You really want to know?"

Medivan smiled, a smile that made it impossible to read his thoughts.

"Hmm."

But Kael'thas didn't back down.

Medivan chuckled softly.

"Well, I'll tell you"

His voice was low and somehow sarcastic:

"The Queen of the Dead came from the High Elves when she was alive"

The windy answer - for Kael'thas it was like an axe thrown into his heart, causing him to bleed.

A group of figures flashed before his eyes.

Solan Liane, Valera, Sylvanas, Lotherma, Aurelia, Liadrin, Winlessa

In the entire High Elf clan, these few women have the qualifications and the highest possible surname to become the Queen of the Dead.

Who is it

Who the hell is it?

However, whoever it is, Kael'thas can't afford it.

He couldn't just watch this happen.

"Me!"

Kael'thas opened his mouth to ask Medivan.

But just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, I brought you flower tea."

It was Valera's voice.

Kael'thas tried to refuse, but found that Medivan had turned into a crow and flown out.

The prophet didn't want to answer superfluously.

But instead of leaving Dalaran, he went to Solan Lian's room.

The astrologist had already expected to put down the book in his hand.

She watched indifferently as Medivan flew in, then turned into a phantom and stood at the table.

"I just thought of something."

Solanlian stood up and spoke.

Medivan looked at her:

"What's wrong?"

Solanlian closed the window, then sat down again:

"You can actually make a deal with Your Highness, so why can't the two of us?"

She came up with a new idea to convince Medivan, but Medivan couldn't make a deal with her easily.

"I said the change you wanted couldn't be done."

He sighed helplessly:

"That's a doomed thing, no matter how much you act, you can't change it."

Solanlian heard such an answer every time.

She was tired of hearing such answers.

"So be it."

Solan Lian tapped the table with her thin white fingers and spoke slowly:

"I don't need a positive outcome."

"I can do one thing for you, but you have to promise me to do my best to help me whether I can change or not."

Either way, Solanlian was going to fight it once.

This proposal moved Medivan a little.

"Do one thing for me?"

He thought about it, and it really made him think of something that he could ask Solanlian to help.

But this is not a good thing for this astromagician.

"Is it okay to do anything?"

Madison stared at Solan Lianne, trying to ascertain her beliefs:

"What if this will make your Highness hate you?"

It's not a joke, it's something that really could happen.

"Poof"

Solanlian, however, burst out laughing, like the whispering of a bird.

"What if Your Highness hates me? Doesn't that prove that I've changed his future? ”

Her pretty face was filled with joy and anticipation.

This was a sad sight to Medivan.

"You're not a proper elf, and you're not a proper astrologist."

Medivan concluded with some regret in his tone.

Solan Lian's laughter stopped.

"But I'm a qualified subordinate, right?"

She curled the corners of her mouth.

"No, I guess you're not qualified as a subordinate."

However, Medivin still shook his head in denial:

"There is too much selfishness in your loyalty."

In this historical line, a qualified elf will only greet and not resist even if he knows the future, because that future is good for them.

But Solanlian is different, she chooses to rebel, because of her personal feelings.

"I am loyal to my country, but I am even more loyal to my Highness."

Solan Lian is noncommittal:

"Is it wrong to put personal affection and loyalty together?"

Her words made Madison a little speechless.

"You're right"

He smiled bitterly, and then muttered:

"Maybe I'm the same way, but my personal feelings are biased towards humans."

"I agreed to your terms."

Medivan decides to work with Solan Lian.

He wanted Solanlian to stand in the way of the decision of the queen who would guide the future of humanity - a decision that would affect tens of thousands of lives.
