The months change, and time passes rapidly.

Kael'thas continues his studies at Karazhan, but he has more important things to do than just study—to study the future.

The jumble of reflections from the void flickered through Karazhan's underground tunnels, and Kael'thas struggled to grasp the random appearances.

He had wanted the elves to help, but Medivin warned Kael'thas that such actions would lead to an even more unpredictable future.

Having spent so much time with Medivan, Kael'thas could tell that the old mage wasn't joking.

He abandoned the idea.

Later, Kael'thas summoned Passaren and Tibroth and asked them to help design a device that would preserve images.

But that plan was quickly dashed.

It is not difficult to preserve the image, but the uncertainty of the time of the debris makes it possible for the instrument to record for long periods of time, even around the clock, which requires a lot of energy - the elves cannot provide this energy and technology for the time being.

If we look at the past life, the study of magical video recording should still be in the era of film cameras, far from the height of digital cameras, and in fact, it is difficult for even digital cameras to observe for several days.

In the end, Kael'thas had to choose the most suitable method.

He brought all the materials he needed underground, and spent the whole day studying and keeping an eye on movements.

Even he stayed here for a lot of his sleep

Of course, there is still a need to leave every day to deal with some official business, and this is when Medivan and a brief video recorder help.

On several occasions, Medivin was amazed at his mobility.

But he didn't think that Kael'thas could last long - there were too few images, and in order to protect the negligible odds, Kael'thas often stayed up late to make himself sleep-deprived, and this would certainly not last long.

For months, they got nothing.

Mediven noticed that Kael'thas was starting to decline in his physical and learning abilities, and he was upset by the situation.

Fortunately, at this time, Solan Lian, who had been away for more than half a year, returned.

When she returned to Karazhan, she discussed taking over Kael'thas work.

While it's a little strange how Solanlian and Medivan met, the Astral's actions did give Kael'thas more rest.

He asked Solanlian what she had done back to Quel'Thalas.

"Well, I met some acquaintances."

Solanlian then mentions one thing:

"Your Highness, do you know about Liadrin's joining the Morning Striker?"

Kael'thas really didn't know about it.

"When?"

He shook his head and asked suspiciously:

"Why didn't I hear anything?"

As Liadelin, as his subordinate, Kael'thas should have been notified of the usual transfers.

"It's been almost ten months."

Solanli counted the time in peace of mind, and then said to Kael'thas :

"I guessed, His Highness really didn't know about it"

"But don't worry!"

She then smiled again:

"I think the reason Your Majesty didn't inform you was that it was unnecessary, and although Liadline joined the Morning Striker, she is also your subordinate."

"She's been active lately, so there's no need to worry about it."

Solanlian had personally visited the little priest, so she knew exactly where she was.

She then reported on a number of other things, including the current state of Quel'Salas and the Rangers under Kael'thas and the situation of Zuaman.

Generally stable.

Kael'thas had been a little worried that Zuaman and the army would be in chaos without a few commanders, but now he was relieved.

Still, he felt that something was wrong - would it take Solanlian that much time for this information?

"What did you do when you went back?"

Kael'thas continued to ask.

[Sure enough, I can't hide it from His Highness]

Solan Lian smiled bitterly and could only answer honestly:

"Your Majesty has asked me to preside over the widening of the new port, XXX, in order to strengthen trade ties with Hinterland and Fort Riptide."

The port of xxx is the one that Kael'thas and the others built outside the mountains next to Zuaman before, located on the shores of the Forbidden Sea.

The two ports that Quel'Salas is now connected to the outside world are Yangfan Harbour and XXX Harbour, which has long been used to trade with countries such as Lordaeron and Kurlatis to the west, and XXX Harbour which was recently established to connect Hinterland and Arathi Heights to the east.

Perhaps it was trade that brought more wealth to the elven kingdom, but Kael'thas was not surprised by this action.

However, in order not to worry Kael'thas, Solan Lian hides an important piece of information: in addition to the port, Quel'Salas is also building a large number of ships.

The elves have always been conservative in their control of wood, and this large-scale change is clearly preparing for the future.

- Lordaeron.

It's been a few months since Kalia returned with Arthas.

After her departure, Arthas embarked on a busy life, with Tyrenus tasked him running around Lordaeron all day long, with only a few free moments for the young human prince to gaze out at the mountains of Alterac.

On this day, he and a group of loyal paladins stopped to rest in the Tirisfal glade, and were leaning against a tree with a water bag to drink.

"You miss Alterac so much?"

The old and vicissitudes of life sounded in Arthas's ears, and he withdrew his gaze from the white snow-capped mountains in the distance, and turned his head to look over.

Uther, the leader of the Silver Hand, was looking at Arthas with his smiling face.

The paladin, who had spent most of his life, was a friend of Arthas and Kalia, who had served Lordaeron since they were very young, so Uther was a man to be respected for both men.

"Yes, teacher."

Arthas replied respectfully.

That's right, Uther was also a teacher in Arthas.

The relationship was established at a very young age, but it was not much of a connection in the actual process of growing up.

Arthas understood what Terenus meant—the king wanted Arthas to be the future leader of the Silver Hand.

If one were to ask who would inherit the most power on the entire continent, the answer would be Alsace.

He was the prince of more than a million people in Lordaeron, the future king of more than 600,000 people in Alterac, the heir to the Silver Hand - even Kael'thas could not match the power of this human prince.

In the Kingdom of High Elves, there are only more than 300,000 elves.

"Alterac is indeed a good place, where you spent your youth, but Alsace"

Uther said softly to Arthas:

"Lordaeron is your true country."

The white-haired paladin didn't see Arthas's true thoughts, thinking that he was still nostalgic for the land and people of Alterac.

Even though Alterac and Lordaeron are now indistinguishable from each other, Uther is still worried about the future direction of Alsace's governance.

He didn't want Alsace to favor Alterac, so he would remind him from time to time.

Such a reminder struck Arthas as ridiculous.

[Is power really that important?] 】

Arthas thought about it often, and he couldn't forget the feeling of that dream.

In his dream, he worked hard to become a king all his life, but in the end he still did not know what he had gained.

So Arthas's words to Uther were always casually perfunctory.

"Your Highness Arthas, Teacher, it's time to go!"

While the two were talking, another voice interjected.

The owner of this voice is a High Elf named Myra. Dawnblade, like Arthas, is a disciple of Uther.

Myra is also said to have been the first High Elf to be inaugurated as a paladin.

Unlike ordinary High Elves, he never looks at humans with haughty eyes, and always gets along with his companions with enthusiasm and sunshine.

But Arthas didn't like him

"Let's go, Arthas."

Uther walked back with Arthas.

Myla. Dawnblade followed them with a smile on his face, the elf's characteristically handsome face making Arthas uncomfortable.

It's not jealousy, in fact Arthas is also very handsome.

The real reason is that this elf always reminds him of Kael'thas

More importantly, Myla. Dawnblade couldn't do without Kael'thas for a few words.

"Our Royal Highness the Prince regards humans as allies, so you must be good people."

Myla. Dawnblade said that the reason he joined the Paladin was due to the influence of Kael'thas.

He seems to admire Kael'thas so much that he follows suit and comes to the human world.

This is also the reason why Myra became a paladin in the first place.

He even dreamed of bringing the nascent profession of Paladin to Quel'Thalas, whom Uther admired for his simplicity.

And Arthas hated this elf very much.

"Where do we go next?"

He didn't want to look at Myra's face anymore, so he asked Uther.

"Take a look at a territory to the north, and I've heard that a baron has disappeared for unknown reasons."

Uther replied:

"We can just go investigate."

This is a survey that is destined to be inconclusive.

Why, because the Baron is now adrift on the ocean.

On the boundless sea, in the midst of the rough waves, he came alone in a small boat to Lordaeron.

Cold, stiff skin, and a sword of frost that exudes a blue chill.

and, a dark blue splinter of ice hanging around his neck.

"Baron Rivendell, your mission is coming soon."

From which ice shattered, the sound that came out was a little excited.

The distinctive intonation of the voice is a testament to the identity of the Ice Crush, the soul of Darkan lodges in it.

When they landed in Lordaeron, Kael'thas of Karazan finally saw the image he had been looking for.
