After confirming the success of the conversion, even if there were some flaws, it still could not resist the enthusiasm of the mages.

"It's time for a new contract."

After the mage proposed, they moved on to the next stage of the trial.

Of course, this stage has nothing to do with Kael'thas.

"Your Highness can't make a pact with these weak demons."

The mages said so, and then took the opportunity away.

In fact, Kael'thas didn't think it was much of a problem, he knew that the contract beast would become stronger as his strength grew.

But he is not in a hurry, waiting for the technology to mature before considering.

Recreating some contracts didn't seem to be a difficult thing for a High Elf mage, and it took two days to study them.

All demons were successfully signed into a contract, and this experiment can be said to be a complete success.

But a very troublesome problem arose in the experiment—the disappearance of the Warlock Contract.

After each demon summoned by an orc warlock is transformed into a magic circle, this warlock will be consumed by the contract and can no longer summon the same type, which makes the promotion of the High Elves greatly controlled.

Originally, the limit of summoning a demon was very huge, but now with this limitation, only a small percentage of people can have demons for the time being.

"Your Highness, does this situation still need to be promoted?"

At the end of the day's trial, the old mage walked up to Kael'thas and asked questions.

"Yes."

Kael'thas nodded thoughtfully:

"Either way, this circle has proven to be useful, so let's build them all over Quel'Salas first."

Build the infrastructure first, and then work on things slowly.

Kael'thas found some lords and asked them to provide some High Elves who were familiar with soul magic and probing, and sent them to interrogate orc warlocks.

He wanted to learn more about demons from orc warlocks, and maybe find clues that could lead to summoning demons without the need for soul shards.

As for the contract of the orc warlocks, the royal mages made a package ticket, and they claimed that they would research a magic to protect the orc warlocks in a few months, so that they would not damage the contract when they were experimenting.

The whole thing was settled for the time being, and Kael'thas seemed to be given a little free time.

In the days that followed, he spent his days working with the Arcane Path, and awaited the return of Sylvanas.

However, the two girls did not return, and the other girl broke the silence of Kael'thas in a panic.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Slightly nasal, Liadline scurried into Kael'thas's office.

"Hey, wait"

Two elven guards in golden armor followed, as if trying to catch the noisy girl.

"It's okay, you guys go out."

Kael'thas let the two guards out, then looked at Liadline strangely:

"What's wrong with you?"

Liadline was a very polite elf, and it was rare for her to act so recklessly.

Besides, there was something wrong with her face.

"Your Highness, please save Valera."

Liadline's eyes were slightly red, and she saluted reluctantly, and said:

"She's in danger."

Kael'thas was startled, and Solan Liane, who was working on the papers on the small table next to him, looked up thoughtfully.

"What's going on?"

Kael'thas was a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

Valella's quiet departure, the absence of news for the past few days, coupled with the strangeness of the end of the war, seemed to be connected at the moment and brought people uneasy.

"Look at this."

Liadline pulled a letter from her bosom and handed it to Kael'thas.

It's a farewell letter, but there's nothing of substance.

"That's it?"

Kael'thas didn't see any danger in it, and was puzzled.

"Valera wouldn't do anything so troublesome."

Liadeline pursed her lips and nervously explained:

"She won't even say goodbye, there must be some other reason for this letter."

"Then I went around and found out that the Sangunar family was preparing a spell for her."

Sangunar.

Kael'thas remembers that this was Valera's last name.

"What magic?"

He soon realizes that this magic is what makes Liadlin weird.

"Reinvent the surname."

Liadline's expression became a little lonely:

"It's a soul magic that can change one's memories and one's life into another."

"I heard that Valera is the way she is now because she was transformed once when she was a child."

Solan Lian's eyes widened, she seemed to have heard of this before.

This was something that the queen who raised her said casually, and Solan Lian never understood who the girl was, and she reacted immediately when Liadline said this.

[It turns out that the brainwashed thief is Valera.] 】

"Bang"

Kael'thas crushed the pen in his hand with a cold expression.

"Soul-transforming magic?"

His face was covered with frost, and his tone became low:

"Quel'Salas has such a family?"

Whatever the reason, doing such an excessive thing to his own people made Kael'thas feel angry.

He didn't like it.

"I'll go save her."

Kael'thas put away the broken pen in his hand, then stood up and sent an invitation to Solan Liane:

"You and Liadline come with me."

The sorcerer nodded, gathered his things and stood up.

Kael'thas walked outside with the two girls.

"Let's go and look into the address of Valera's house first."

As he walked, Liadline shook her head:

"No, Your Highness, I have a guide."

She replied unexpectedly.

"Huh?"

Kael'thas glanced at Liadrin, a little surprised, not expecting her to be so well prepared.

"That's what he told me."

Liadline then explained:

"He's also from the Sangunar family and wants to help Valella."

It was only then that Kael'thas understood.

[No wonder she knows these things.] 】

It turned out that someone in the Sangunar family revealed it.

But Kael'thas vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he tried to grasp the thought, but suddenly he was rotted by two male elf guards in the corridor.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is invited."

The two guards saluted almost simultaneously and issued an invitation, just in such a coincidence that they seemed to be deliberately stopping Kael'thas.

However, no one could refuse King Anastarian's invitation, so Kael'thas had to follow the two guards to meet with Anastarian first.

"What are you going to do? Kael'thas . ”

The king of the High Elves looked at Kael'thas with his peaceful and majestic eyes, and his first question chilled the latter's heart.

"I'm going to save a subordinate, father."

Kael'thas saluted and replied carefully.

"Is that the thief?"

Anastarian's face sank like water:

"If it was her, I don't think you should go."

His words gave Kael'thas a glimmer of hope, 'should', i.e., this matter is not absolute.

"Why?"

However, Kael'thas still wants to know why.

He couldn't understand why this sensible king would make an appointment with him for such a 'trivial' matter.

"The mother of the female thief is your mother's maid."

Anastarian replied:

"She died because of your mother, and I owe this family a love"

Seeing that Kael'thas still didn't understand, Anastarian was silent for a while and continued to speak:

"Do you know what you're going to get if you save that thief?"

Kael'thas shook his head.

"She's going to have to follow you for the rest of your life."

Anastarian stared at Kael'thas:

"Will you be able to afford this?"

Kael'thas was silent, he didn't understand why saving a man would have to carry his life on his back.

But, for Kael'thas, that may not matter.

His prince of Quel'Salas was burdened with the lives of too many people, and one more didn't matter.

"Father, how can I be the heir of Quel'Salas if I can't even carry it alone?"

Kael'thas replied.

His answer made Anastarian smile bitterly in his heart.

[Is this what I mean?] 】

The elven king thought so, and then a glint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"No, Kael'thas, you didn't understand that"

Anastarian, however, did not change his steps for this, and spoke slowly:

"Her mother died for your mother, and if you let her stay by her side, can you afford the guilt of the same fate?"

[When you know the truth, can you afford the bitterness? 】

Anastarian did not tell Kael'thas that Valera's mother died not only for the queen, but also for Kael'thas.

So, he didn't want Valyra to stay with Kael'thas.

But Kael'thas did not understand this, and in the ears of the elven prince, the king's words did not have many consecutive surnames.

He said so much, but he didn't solve the slightest doubt about Kael'thas.

"Letting this happen is the best way to do it, Kael'thas."

"The mutilated soul of that female thief will be regrouped and acquired a sound personality, which is better than the current situation."

Anastarian continued.

These words dispelled Kael'thas for the last hesitation.

"I'm sorry, father."

"I think I'm going to save her."

Kael'thas cut the gold and didn't hesitate in the slightest.

It's been a long time since Anastarian has seen him so persistent, and the king is always happy at this time.

"Okay."

A smile tugged at the corner of Anastarian's mouth, stopping the whim-of-the-moment obstacle:

"Kael'thas, since you've made your choice, go ahead and carry it out."

"However, as the prince of the Chaser family, you should not fail easily."
