Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Conversation Before Departure (End of this Volume)
"You're doing better than we thought, Kael'thas"
At the top of the arcane way, Mephites looked at his disciple with a look of relief and said.
When he heard that Kael'thas had chosen to let the trolls go, he was angry about the supremacy of his race, but after so many years, the disciple's results exceeded everyone's expectations.
Far from resisting, the trolls showed that they were unusually loyal to Kael'thas from the information they gathered.
What's even more rare is that under the research of the High Elf mages under his leadership, the melee professionals of the High Elves have made a breakthrough, and the defects of nearly 10,000 years have begun to slowly heal.
"Thank you"
Kael'thas stood in front of Mephites, nodded slightly to thank him for his compliment, and then asked:
"What did the teacher call me for?"
His voice was as crisp as ever, but his tone was much more steady.
After many years, Kael'thas is also much less youthful and more mature.
"Hehe, Your Majesty wants you to go to Dalaran, Kael'thas, do you know why?"
Mephites asked with a smile.
Kael'thas shook his head slightly, he did receive orders to go to Dalaran, but he really didn't know why.
[Didn't you let me learn?] 】
He thought so strangely.
"Kael'thas, how much do you know about Dalaran?"
Instead of telling him the answer directly, Mephites asked.
[Dalaran? 】
Kael'thas thought for a moment, and then came out a little embarrassed:
"The kingdom of human mages was established by us High Elves together."
What's more, he also knew about the 6-member council of Kenrito, but he didn't know which 6 it was now, let alone what the system was, so Kael'thas didn't say anything more.
"Yes, Dalaran is the kingdom of the mages and the second kingdom of mankind. Their first kingdom has long since disappeared for thousands of years, but this kingdom, which we founded with humanity, still exudes great vitality today. ”
Mephites nodded, a little in his heart acknowledging the human attachment to magic, and continued:
"Although human beings are a short-lived species, there are many geniuses among them, and they have created a lot of magic that even we have to be impressed by in thousands of years, so in the same way, many high elf mages will go there to learn and enrich their knowledge."
"However"
Mephites looked at Kael'thas with big blue eyes, and said with a flash:
"Kael'thas, isn't that why you're there?"
Kael'thas was stunned.
"Dalaran is made up of a council of mages, and they call that council the Council of Kenrito, led by six mages."
"Parliament meets to discuss major issues and vote on certain matters - no member has a dominant power, and the majority decides on every resolution by voting."
Mephites stared at Kael'thas and said:
"Your father wants you to go to Dalaran and become one of those six."
"Since we are also the builders of that kingdom, there must be a seat of the High Elves in every council, and you can get it as long as you go there."
In other words, Kael'thas didn't have to do anything to become one of the leaders of Dalaran.
In fact, in the original history, Kael'thas is now a member of Kenrito at this moment, and his strength is deep.
But now Mephiterst wanted Kael'thas to look for him before leaving, and there must be a reason.
"And what you're looking for me here for?"
Kael'thas asked:
"Think there's something wrong with this?"
He couldn't help but think so, also because he knew his mentor's surname well.
"Yes, Kael'thas I want you to flee on the way, not to Dalaran!"
Mephites squinted and said unexpectedly.
"There's no good for you to go to Dalaran now."
He affirmed the conclusion, and then explained the reason to Kael'thas in detail.
It turned out that the trip to Dalaran was not initiated by King Anastarian, but was unilaterally demanded by Dalaran. Because His Royal Highness Prince Kaelshala is not a lawyer, the High Elf seat in the Dalaran Council has been missing for more than a hundred years since the end of his tenure, and they are desperate for a new successor.
Kael'thas, who has a noble status and is a mage, has plenty of talent and has naturally become the primary target. What is even more rare is that Kael'thas has ruled Zuaman for several years, and has already proved that he has enough command
King Anastarian could not refuse their offer, so he agreed.
However, after careful research, Mephites discovered that it was not a wise decision for Kael'thas to go to Dalaran now.
First of all, there is a question of strength, the remaining 5 people in the Council of 6 people in Kenrito are at least legendary professionals, Kael'thas is still only a high-level professional, and if he goes there to obtain a ruling seat, I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied and suppressed by many human mages, bringing a complex series of problems.
Then there is the issue of the situation, due to the fact that the orcs summoned demons before. The High Elves were more wary of these creatures than humans, so they sent personnel to keep an eye on the orcs' movements. After agreeing to Dalaran's proposal, when Lothar was still traveling to Lordaeron with the refugees of the Stormwind Kingdom, Anastarian had already received information about the fall of Stormwind.
He understood that Lothar must have come to seek an alliance, and Dalaran, as one of the human kingdoms, would inevitably be involved, and the important thing was that Dalaran had the least number of people, all of them were mages, and they might move all over their bodies as soon as they were involved. Now when he goes to Dalaran, if the mages are all preparing for the battle, Kael'thas may also be implicated when he goes, and he won't have much time to learn.
On a few points, it is best not to go to Kael'thas.
But having already agreed, Anastarian did not want to lose his trust, so he could only send Mephites to hint at Kael'thas to flee on his own.
"Father?"
Kael'thas was a little surprised by this, he didn't expect the iron-clad king to make such a decision.
"To be precise, His Majesty did not take the initiative to say it. It was I who proposed it, but he didn't refuse"
Mephites smiled and said:
"Your Highness, you have grown up under the arrangement since you were a child, and now your strength is enough. I think Your Majesty should also be willing to let you go for a few years."
Kael'thas dreams of traveling the world can't fool these people.
What Mephitaus didn't tell Kael'thas was that his father had such dreams when he was younger, and
He loved Kael'thas a lot.
"But Dalaran over there?"
Kael'thas was a little worried, but Mephites shook his head and comforted:
"You're only 21 years old, and those short-lived humans look at us elves with more contempt for time than we do, and in their eyes, elves under the age of a hundred are children."
This perception is also normal
"So, if you run away, even if you take office a few years later, they will forgive you with a young heart."
In this way, King Anastarian could also reply to Dalaran.
Kael'tham's eyes lit up, but he was still a little confused.
"Really? I'm so weak."
Don't worry about him getting hurt?
"Haha, I'll give you some scrolls later, and I believe you have a sense of proportion."
Mephites laughed, not seeming to be too worried:
"Besides, you're going to the human world."
It's not like Quel'Salas, in the human world, high-level professionals are enough to move freely as long as they are not stupid.
The number of human beings is too large, and most of them are ordinary civilians with no strength.
