Volume 2 Travels in the Eastern Kingdom Chapter 398 The Narrow Road (11)
On the Violet Tower, the conflict erupted suddenly.
The antagonism and rift that once lurked among the members of the council can no longer be concealed.
Gently rubbing the Sindore Golden Scepter in his hand, the Saxa* Sunsnatcher, who had taken the seat of Prince Kael'thas in the Council, spoke in a bad tone, staring haughtily at the female mage whose face was frozen from being ridiculed. The two great mages were at odds with each other's magic and qi, and they had the meaning of fighting if they didn't agree with each other.
"Alright, Isaac, calm down! Once a parliamentary decision is made, it can't be changed, that's the rule, you know! Seeing the tension between the two arch-mages, Ansrem Ruinwivor, the good old man in the Kenrito Council, hurriedly stepped in between the two and became a peacemaker: "Your expression of conflict and provocation will not play any ......"
"Yes, we blood elves are soft-spoken, who cares if they say it?"
Without giving any face to his colleagues, the sneer on the corner of Aishara*'s mouth became even more conspicuous: "Today's Dalaran has long been a human being, and from the moment His Royal Highness the Prince was almost imprisoned by the Council, we blood elves should understand this!" β
"The final resolution is the result of a fair vote of the Council of Six, not the dictatorship of one person, and I hope you can retract what you just said irrationally......" Even a good old man like Ansrem Ruinvivol couldn't help but cool down when he heard the Blood Elf Archmage's meaningful remarks.
"Hehe, is it a 'fair' vote for four seats against one? Then why didn't I see Crassus (Note 1) at the meeting? Isaas's words grew sharper, as if he didn't want to leave any room for his former colleagues: "The Blood Elves have been sidelined by only two votes in the Council of Six. You're still going to play this dirty trick? β
"Crassus has an emergency to deal with. A week earlier, he had reported to the council and left Dalaran. This is not a conspiracy of the Parliament! Dalaran also does not have zΓ i's discrimination and targeting of blood elves! β
When it comes to the principled issues of the Kenrito Council, another council member, Grand Mage Derlandon, is no longer silent at this moment, but frowns and patiently explains. "I believe that the previous vote, the members of the parliament have carefully considered it from a neutral position, and it is the most favorable choice for Dalaran."
"Today's Dalaran is also qualified to talk about neutrality? Are you still qualified to talk about neutrality today? Shifting his playful gaze to the face of the spoken-speaking Drandon, the Aesac* Sunsnatcher, who was full of aura at the moment, didn't seem to mind the battle of words: "Derlandon, we've worked together for so long, and I don't understand until today why your protective magic is so lame......"
"Because you don't have to practice at all. Your skin is thick enough to resist a finger of death and be unscathed! β
Arch-Mage Derlandon was suffocated by Esaas's sarcasm, and if it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, I guess Arch-Mage wouldn't mind planting a duel flag with the damn guy on the other side or directly hitting the opponent's stinky mouth with a few arcane shocks.
It's a pity that the chattering Isaac Sunsnatcher doesn't seem to care about the mood of his former colleagues at the moment.
"Heh, joining the war is the best option for Dalaran?" A sneer burst out, and the mocking eyes of the Blood Elf Great-Mage swept unabashedly over the unkind faces of several colleagues: "It should be that the name of the so-called 'Founder of the Azeroth Federation' just happens to satisfy the vanity of you fools who are carried away by fame and fortune, right?" Oh, except for the redhead boy, I really didn't expect you, the troubled little guy, to be the most sane of them all! β
Luo Ning, who had been frowning in the corner and not saying a word, looked strange and embarrassed when he heard this.
One of the two negative votes in the previous voting phase came from the youngest member of the Kenrito Parliament. For reasons that are not humane, and because of the intuitive confusion about the reasons for the disappearance of Goode, Varian, and Gianna, Ronin did not want Dalaran to fall into the troubled waters between the Alliance and the Horde...... Unfortunately, neither of these two reasons can be said. So Ronin could only remain silent after the vote.
"Shut up, Isaas! You're challenging my patience! β
Just as the embarrassed Luo Ning was about to explain the colleague who eased the atmosphere. A shout of rage was already ringing in everyone's ears. The female mage Modra slammed the staff in her hand to the floor, and said angrily:
"Who are you to accuse your colleagues of here? Don't forget, the Blood Elves have joined the Horde years ago! Now yours is among the additional tribal reinforcements sent to the hills of Hillsbrad! β
"Attention! To be precise, the Kingdom of Quel'Salas has joined the Horde, and none of the blood elves in Dalaran City have joined the battlefield! In the face of Modra's accusations, Isaas was not afraid and retorted with sincerity: "But...... From today, not necessarily! β
The Blood Elf Mage's "but" caused the pupils of all council members to shrink slightly almost at the same time, and the Esath Sun Reaper finally stopped sneering and changed to a grim expression, solemnly announcing:
"Since Dalaran has decided to join this war as a human nation...... Then, from today onwards, the Sunsnatcher troops in Dalaran City will automatically break away from the military sequence of Dalaran. At the same time, all my fellow Blood Elves will also consciously pack up their possessions and belongings within three days, and leave the ...... 'human kingdom' of Dalaran! β
Rumble!
Everyone present, whether it was the members of the Kenrito Council on the tower or the mages gathered in the square, their minds were blanked by this sudden announcement, and they lost their voices for a while.
Human magic came from the High Elves, and Dalaran was founded thanks to the help of the High Elves. It can be said that without the communication and mutual help with the High Elves for thousands of years, there would be no today's glory of Dalaran. All the people of Dalaran, whether they were high-ranking spellcasters or ordinary residents, had long been accustomed to the existence of these alien compatriots.
And now......
"Yes, you heard it right!" The Sunsnatcher of Isaac was expressionless at the moment, as cold as a lifelike sculpture. "Now that you have decided to renounce your neutrality and embrace new allies. Then from their respective standpoints, I have to regret to declare......"
The Blood Elf Great-Mage's voice rose slightly.
"A thousand-year pact between a blood elf mage and a human mage... Call it a day! β
"No!" In front of the Monument to Antonidas. A pin drop could be heard, and after a few breaths of silence, an angry shout rang out: "No, shut up, Isaas! What kind of bad trick game is this, right? You are not qualified to represent all Blood Elf mages, and you have no right to make such a hasty and unreasonable decision! β
The great mage Modra, who had come back to his senses, had red eyes and a crazy face at the moment, and even the staff in his hand was firmly pointed at the Aesas * Sunsnatcher, and he had the urge to use force.
"Actually. I have this right, and I have this qualification! The Blood Elf Arch-Mage, who was confident in his own strength, did not take Mordra's gaffe and threatening actions to heart at all, but looked around at the rest of the grim-faced Councillor Kenrito around him and said slowly: "Three days ago, on the day the mission of the Stormwind Kingdom stepped into Dalaran, His Royal Highness Prince Kael'thas who was far away in the outer region had already granted me full authority and authority to handle this diplomatic matter!" β
The Blood Elf Arch-Mage pulled out a golden magic token from the space pouch around his waist, and a blood-red flaming phoenix pattern shone on the token - it was the magic emblem unique to Kael'thas* Sunstrider!
As one of the former members of the Kenrito Council, the unique and fiery magic fluctuations of the Blood Elf Prince Kael'thas were no strangers to everyone present, and they didn't even need to be carefully examined to know that the magic token was not a counterfeit at all......
"The decision of the Kenrito Council cannot be changed, and the will of His Royal Highness the Prince is also unquestionable!" The Ethas* Sunsnatcher's tone was indifferent. The rhetoric is tough; "At this point, I still have to deal with the evacuation of my people. Gentlemen. Time is limited, everything is complicated, I will not accompany you! β
"As for you...... Mordra, please put away your poor sticks. The Ethas* Sunsnatcher turned his head and looked down contemptuously at one of the strongest female mages in the history of Dalaran, and sneered disdainfully, "If you have the guts to fight me, I don't mind testing on the battlefield in the near future to see if your crappy fighting ability has improved over the years!" β
After that, the blood elf mage didn't care about the female mage with a blue face and clenched silver teeth, turned to look at Luo Ning, hesitated for a moment and then said with a complicated expression: "Red-haired boy, give me a few words for Wen Lesa......"
"Sue sΓΉ her ......"
"Family affection is rooted in the bloodline, which can be disguised, suppressed, denied, and ignored...... But it can't be erased. β
"Ms. Sylvanas's tragic fate was not of her own volition. It was the weakness of the kingdom that allowed the tragedy to happen, not her fault. β
"Hatred of orcs should not be a reason for him to break off his kinship and alienate his kindred; Sisters should not be strangers to each other. β
"His Royal Highness the Prince, as well as the people of the Kingdom, want her to return home and spend the days to come with her children and... The husband returned to his people. At least...... And don't set foot on the battlefield to confront your compatriots, and let your fellow citizens face each other......"
"Anyway...... Regardless, the Windranger Tower in the Wraith Lands is her forever home. β
With that, the Ethas* Sunstrider turned away with great might, strands of long silver hair flying across his chest as he walked. The mages along the square avoided it.
"Participate in a war that could have been kept out of the way, losing an ally who has been together for thousands of years...... Was the previous parliamentary resolution a wise move or an irreparable mistake? β
Looking at the unbridled and arrogant Blood Elf Archmage walking away, Ronin's mind was a little dazed, and he subconsciously asked Ansrem Ruinvivol, who was standing beside him.
"Ronin," Ansrem's face was also a little stunned, but his tone became extremely firm: "The blood elves have proved the truth with their actions, but you still haven't understood it?" β
The thin but powerful palm was firmly pressed on the shoulder of the young Luo Ning, and the elder standing side by side said slowly in an unquestioning voice:
"Remember, we are a human first, then a mage......"
ββββββββ
Note 1: Crassus is actually the consort of the Red Dragon Queen, but during her travels in the world, she has always appeared as a High Elf, so she is regarded as a Blood Elf by the likes of Isath * Sunsnatcher.
If the information is correct, the members of the six-member council at this time are Modra, Crassus, Ansleem, Derlandon, Isaac, and Ronin. (To be continued......)
