As the crystallization of a magical civilization, the beauty and grandeur of Dalaran, a violet city created by humans and High Elves, is breathtaking. The streets here are neat, and the lower buildings are different from the tapered spires of the royal city of Lordaeron, with red or violet domes. In between, there are towering mage minarets that reach into the sky. Each minaret represents a powerful mage.

As far as the eye could see, Jiang Weihan could count at least fifty magic towers, and the actual number would be even more.

"What a great city." Jiang Weihan sighed, but this pinnacle of magical civilization fell lightly in front of a more powerful force. If Kil'Gardan, the leader of the Burning Legion, descends, then all the mages here tied together will still not be able to resist the destruction of the city.

This magical kingdom brought Antonidas enough pride that he couldn't hear Jiang Wei's sigh in his breath, and he asked, "And how does it compare to your War College?" ”

Kyle replied in place of Jiang Weihan, "The main body of the War College is to use magic to fuse obsidian with precious metals, mainly in dark tones. Because it wanted to establish its authority in Valoran, the city's architecture was known for its majesty. Stylistically, the violet city is much more gentle. ”

"Yes, it must be a magnificent city as well," the ** master led them to a teleportation array, and paused, "I'm going to take you to the Mage Council in Dalaran, are you ready?" ”

"Please!"

The runes of the teleportation array glowed, and Jiang Weihan found that they had appeared in a completely closed room. There was no outside light coming in, but the unusually active magical elements made its inner environment strange, sometimes dim, sometimes bright, and even though there were no windows around, the sound of the wind could always be heard in the ears.

In addition to Jiang Weihan and Kyle, there were five other people in the room. They were scattered across the surrounding seats. With the exception of Antonidas, everyone else used magic to conceal their images, so that people could only see the clothes they were wearing, and completely discern their faces and genders.

In front of the mysterious atmosphere painstakingly created by these council members, Jiang Weihan always felt that he wanted to laugh-

"Welcome to the Kenrito Council," Antonidas spoke first, "my colleagues have some questions to discuss with you, please forgive our system, they need to hide their identities as much as possible. Of course, this is not aimed at you, but to prevent people in the city from approaching the councillors with some purpose. I assure you, there are very few people in this city who know their identity. ”

"I probably know, but—" Jiang Weihan smiled, "Maybe you are a stranger to me, but I am not necessarily a complete stranger to you. ”

As soon as he raised his hand, a blue light spread around him as the center, and where he passed, the magic of several ** masters suddenly failed, revealing his true face.

Jiang Weihan heard a surprised inhalation, he looked at the first councillor on the right, he had an absolutely handsome face, more perfect than a sculpture, the flawless blonde hair and pointed ears showed that he was a high elf: "Hello, Prince Kael'thas." ”

The surprise on the High Elf Prince's face changed to a smile: "Hello, Ginger of Valoran." ”

The second is a tall female mage, she looks young, but her hair is indeed silvery, I don't know if she was born like this, or if she has a skill in her face, but looking at her calm and deep eyes, it is more likely that it is the latter.

"Hello, Lady Modra!" Jiang Weihan still revealed her identity, he thought to himself, I am a person with Blizzard Dad, and I know your identity well.

Modra was apparently more surprised than Kael'thas: the former was quite famous as the prince of Quel'Thalas, and his traits were too obvious to be recognized. But she rarely walked out of Dalaran, and not many local mages here could recognize her, so how did this young man know her identity?

She nodded in response, and secretly gave Antonidas a look to indicate if he had revealed, but Antonidas shook his head and denied her speculation.

The third was also a High Elf-looking man, much more mature than Kael'thas and long silver hair with some red strands interspersed.

"Hats off, Lord Crassus!"

Crassus nodded in response, but wondered if it was true that Antonidas had told him that this young Otherworldly Visitor had received guidance from a prophet?

Then his true identity is an adult red dragon, and he must not be able to hide it from the other party.

The fourth was Antonidas, and next to him was a stocky middle-aged mage,

"Hello, Dredon ** Master!"

Dredden laughed heartily and said, "Looks like I'm still quite famous!" You've really blown us away, ginger. What kind of spell was that? I had no protection against its probes on me. ”

"It's insight in summoner's spells." Jiang Weihan replied. This spell is much more powerful than in the game, not only can it detect the situation in the distance, but it can also show invisibility, but when he came to Azeroth, this was also the first time Jiang Weihan used this spell. It looks like it's working well.

After a bit of politeness, everyone finally got back to the point: the plague, the scourge, the threat of the Lich King, and the alliance.

"I have some research on alchemy, so I'm trying to parse the plague samples you got from that dungeon. It is, as you say, it can pollute the earth and spread through food, water and wound infection. And the dose required is very small. A dose of about two milliliters is enough to infect a healthy adult. According to the difference in physique and resistance, the infected person will attack within 3-24 hours and turn into a zombie with a strong attack**. ”

This is followed by Modra's account: "This plague-carrying food and water source cannot be detected by conventional magic, and the priesthood is more sensitive to it. What is certain is that this plague is a combination of pharmacy and necromancy, but alas, we haven't figured out a way to dispel it yet. ”

Crassus added, "Fire spells with life force can purify them. ”

But the subtext of this sentence is that it will burn the infected and the objects with the plague, and let the red dragon spit dragon breath to burn it. Because ordinary fire spells are elemental spells, only the flames of the Red Dragons, who are the Life Bound Oaths, carry vitality.

Obviously, this is just a last resort.

Dredon complained, "Actually, church pastors and pharmacists might be better suited to study this kind of thing. But...... Hey, those tall guys won't take the initiative to study this kind of evil thing in their eyes until they burn their eyebrows. ”

The deliberations in the council room continued, and after putting aside the heavy topic of the plague, the ** masters turned their interest to summoner spells, which seemed magical to them. In fact, Jiang Weihan has learned very few summoner spells, but fortunately there is a well-informed Kyle on the side, otherwise he really can't deal with this group of polymaths who are interested in new knowledge.

……

Gianna walked aimlessly in her old-fashioned mage's apprentice robes, with a book borrowed from the library in her arms. The events of the previous day, and the events of the previous days, haunted her, and she was always uneasy. Inadvertently, when she looked up, she found herself walking to the pool where she practiced her spells again.

This place has many fond memories of her. When Alsace came to Dalaran to study, they often went on dates in this place, and every plant and tree in the neighborhood witnessed her youthful love.

Gianna sat down on the bench, propping her chin on the spine of the thick tome in her arms, reminiscing about the past. In the end, the scene in the tent a few days ago resurfaced: the cunning demon took the form of the Prince of Arthas and came to her, causing her to fall into the trap of love, inadvertently leaking the most important information, thus causing the two secret mage camps to be killed by friendly forces, and directly leading to the failure of the operation.

Whenever she thought of the gentle and considerate demon in the tent and the great mistake made by her own childishness, she would fall into self-blame and could not extricate herself. Although her father and teacher were careful to enlighten her, she was not her fault, but she had just been the target of the devil - and the same would have been true for someone else.

Maybe someone else would have done the same - but it was she who suffered the consequences.

She thought about her first love again, and wondered where she and Arthas would go in the future.

"Gianna!"

In a trance, she seemed to hear Arthas's voice calling to her. But this must be a delusion, he should have just returned to Lordaeron, and now he is discussing national affairs, how could he come here?

"Gianna!" This time the voice was closer, and she turned her head, surprised that Arthas had really appeared in front of her.

"Arthas, why are you here, are you here to find ......" Before she could finish her words, the "I" was interrupted by the other party before she could confide.

"I'm here for Jiang, Commander Jiang Weihan of Valoran. Lordaeron was in great trouble, and my father asked me to come and ask him to come over. Arthas eagerly recounted the purpose, and immediately asked, "The people here have said that they saw the ** master Antonidas appear in Dalaran with a black-haired young man and an angel, but they don't know where they are now. Gianna, you know what? ”

Gianna gathered up and replied, "The teacher said before that he would invite Jiang on behalf of the council, compared to the fact that they are in the council room now - it is a mysterious place, and it cannot be entered without the guidance of the councillors. If you want to find Jiang, you can go to the residence of the ** master and wait first, they should be there when they come out. ”

"I see, thank you, Gianna, I'll go first!" After hearing this, Arthas immediately hurried away.

Looking at his departing back, Gianna felt empty in her heart, as if the relationship between her and Arthas was the same, and it was drifting apart
