Chapter 433: A Mage from Dalaran
"Lord De Jong, let's stop there." Outside the door of the council chamber, Kurbanke said to De Jong.
"Yes, Lord Kurbanke." De Jong stood still, motioned for the palace guards who had followed him to disband, and then asked in a low voice, "What's going on inside?" ”
"What else can ......," Kurbanke pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, "Those 'lords' of Dalaran seem to be not good!" ”
As a loyal chamberlain to the House of Torbain, Kurbanke certainly had no good impression of the group of mages who had always refused to serve Riptide Castle, and he deliberately bit the word "Adult" very hard, and the meaning of sarcasm was self-evident.
However, Arthas, who was in the council chamber, felt this "bad coming" first-hand - from the moment he entered the council chamber, several white-bearded old men surrounded him, staring at him, oh no, the frost sorrow behind him, looking up and down, left and right......
"Archmage Antonidas...... What's going on? Arthas looked up in embarrassment and grumbled to the familiar leader of the Council of Kenrito, who was sitting at the table with his father.
"Please, don't be nervous, Prince Arthas. These mages are all respected old men in Dalaran, and I don't think they will behave out of the ordinary. Just hearing about freezing the Narrow Sea, even I couldn't help but want to ask this lady some magic questions. Archmage Antonidas replied with a smile.
Spare me...... Arthas sighed in his heart - no matter how "respectable" these mages were, what would become of them before they were interested in studying. Arthas had already learned from Kel'thugad.
Fleeing from the group of mages with a dazed Frost Sorrow, Arthas made his way to the table and saluted his father, King Soras, and Archmage Antonidas, before taking his seat. He asked, "Archmage Antonidas, is Dalaran ready for this war?" ”
"Yes, Prince Arthas. Dalaran was ready, and we mobilized a number of battle mages that could be mobilized, and all of them came to Riptide Fort; Master Khadgar is leading them in setting up the teleportation circle, and when the circle is complete, we will set off across the Narrow Sea. Join Anduin? Sir Lothar's troops—but I seem to have heard that we are of no use because of your outstanding performance, Prince of Arthas? "Archmage Antonidas despite his age. Even for King Terenus and King Solas, they are fatherly figures, but they are still witty and humorous, and like to make jokes about Arthas.
"Uh...... Please don't say that, Archmage Antonidas. Alsace felt a little shy. These are mainly the credit of Her Excellency the Red Dragon Queen. Oh yes. Is Archmage Crassus here this time too? Does he need to meet his queen? ”
In the town of Southsea, Arthas has learned the true identity of Archmage Crassus of the Council of Dalaran Kenrito, a red dragon; It was Crassus's insistence that led Uther and Archmage Antonidas to agree to Arthas' trip to Grimbaatar; I wonder what Mr. Red Dragon's expression will be when he sees his queen? Oh yes, I wonder if Crassus is the son of the Red Dragon Queen, is he the same as Valastaz? The seniority of this group of guys is really messed up.
Archmage Antonidas naturally couldn't see these nonsense thoughts in Arthas's heart, and he replied with a sigh, "Crassus...... His injuries still hadn't healed, so he stayed in Dalaran this time and didn't come over. Where is the Red Dragon Queen now? Can I meet her? ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient. Seeing the puzzled look in Archmage Antonidas' eyes, Arthas could only express his helplessness. Her Excellency the Queen is sleeping, if Archmage Antonidas you insist. She's upstairs in my room, you can go and see her yourself. - Alsace didn't say a word - I don't want to see that fool again! Stupidity is contagious!
"Oh...... That's right...... That's it. Archmage Antonidas shook his head, although he was full of curiosity about the Queen, he didn't want to disturb the other party's sleep, not to mention that there were a lot of things on his side.
"Then, His Majesty King Terenus, His Majesty King Soras, my fellow mages and I are leaving for the time being." Archmage Antonidas stood up and took his leave, "I'll leave a few mages in Riptide Castle to be Anduin?" When the battle on Sir Lothar's side is decided, we will get back in time. ”
One of the serious consequences of this orc invasion is the destruction of the otherwise convenient communication between the various human cities. Before evacuating, the mages who stayed in Stormwind destroyed the portals in the Stormwind Kingdom, and Dalaran also unilaterally destroyed some portals connecting the southern part of the continent.
King Solas happily bids farewell to Archmage Antonidas—no matter what the process may be, Riptide at least has its own portal—which has always been a problem for King Solas, especially since he learns that even small castles like Dunhold have magical teleportation arrays.
"How's that, Arthas, what did you say to that orc? Any useful information? After bidding farewell to Archmage Antonidas, King Terenus asked his son.
"Yes, my father, I got very important information." Arthas took a deep breath, and the expression on his face became unusually stern.
Infected by this atmosphere1, the expressions of King Terenus and King Solas, who had returned to his seat, also became solemn, and they wondered what terrible news Arthas had received from the orc's mouth.
"We all already know that these orcs are from another world—one we've never been to before." Arthas opened his mouth - he intended to take advantage of this opportunity to tell his father, and the entire Alliance, something about the Burning Legion; If he could, Arthas hoped that humanity would be ready for the Burning Legion invasion from now on; It would be a worldwide apocalypse, and unless it was strong enough, it would be difficult for humanity to survive the catastrophe, even with the help of Frost Sorrow.
