At dawn, the bells of Lordaerolenna, a symbol of victory, echoed throughout the city-state.

One can't remember the last time they heard the crisp chime, as if the old bronze bell hanging from the tower was just an ornament.

But today, it's finally ringing again...

In the city, the residents of Lordaeron in the streets and alleys all got up early, and they bustled around the city gates, standing on both sides of the road, looking forward to it.

Today is an important day for Lordaeron.

During this time, the civilians of Lordaeron were tormented by the war, and they feared their country day and night. Men, women, and children were all disturbed by the sound of fighting in the distance, and everyone was in danger.

But fortunately, after several days of fierce fighting, the coalition forces of Lordaeron and other countries finally drove these invaders out of Lordaeron. In just two days, the news of the coalition forces spread through the streets of Lordaeron.

At this moment, from the princes and nobles to the market vendors, the whole Lordaeron went crazy. The haze of war that surrounded Lordaeron was swept away.

In the tavern, diners hold flasks in one hand and roast lamb shanks in the other, talking about the recent war with relish, as if they had experienced it themselves.

And the bards made new poems, singing the praises of the great heroes over and over again in what they thought was sensational.

Even the children in the streets and alleys took out the homemade wooden swords and armor that were treasured under the bed, imitating the scenes of the heroes fighting in their minds. The children kept waving their "weapons" and screaming, making the adults giggle with their serious and funny looks.

In short, this long-awaited victory shattered the peace of the whole of Lordaeron and made the whole kingdom boil...

With a loud bang, the gates of Lordaeron burst open, and the ancient drawbridge was lowered.

"Here they come, here they come!"

"Oh, heroes!"

"Praise be to the great Lordaeron, long live Lordaeron!"

Surrounded by deafening cheers, what appeared in front of people's eyes was a group of Lordaeron cavalry with a stern appearance and a solemn look. They sat on their horses with their heads held high, and their spirits were in high spirits, and there was no sign on their faces of the fatigue of the long days of fighting.

Lordaeron's banner fluttered in the air, led by none other than Uther, the revered and worshipped Lightbringer. And around him, Khadgar, Falar, Gavin Rad and other generals walked side by side with him.

"Oh my God! look, it's General Uther!"

"Long live General Uther! Long live Lordaeron!"

Seeing the idol that is out of reach on weekdays, the crowd erupted into a tsunami-like sound.

Feeling the warmth of the people of Lordaeron, Uther barely pulled out a smile. He was already very weak, but he still smiled kindly at every civilian who greeted him, which was enough to see his charisma.

Xue Huan rode his horse slowly behind Uther, it was the first time he had seen the majestic city-state so closely, and it was also the first time he had received such a surge of cheers, which he had never experienced in his previous life.

Though he knew that the cheer did not belong to him...

"It's a great feeling, isn't it?"

At the moment when Xue Huan was stunned, a clear and pleasant voice came into his ears.

Xue Huan turned his head to see that it was Arthas who spoke.

At this time, Arthas had already woken up from a coma, but his injuries were very serious, and he needed to recuperate for a long time in Lordaeron.

Originally, as a noble prince of Alsace, he should have walked side by side with Uther and others, sharing glory. But at his own strong request, he rode his horse alongside Xue Huan, Patrick, Angel and others.

In desperation, Uther had no choice but to let Arthas go. As for the reason, I'm afraid only His Royal Highness the Prince himself knows...

"Triumphant like a hero, bathed in the cheers of the people. Arthas showed a warm smile to Xue Huan and said lightly, "This feeling, it's great, isn't it?"

"Uh..."

Xue Huan was silent.

"I love the feeling. ”

Seeing that Xue Huan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, Arthas smiled faintly, only when Xue Huan was excited and incoherent, he said to himself: "When I was very young, I aspired to be a great king like my father, and I have been working hard for this. ”

At this moment, as if time had frozen, Xue Huan consciously blocked out the noisy cheers around him, and listened quietly to what Alsace had to say.

"I'm proud, but I'm also working hard because I have a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders. I've always wanted everyone's approval, Father, Sister, and especially Varian. ”

Speaking of this, Arthas smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "That kid seems to have been born a king, with elegant manners, approachable, and a smile on his face from time to time, and even swordsmanship, I can't compare to him." Sometimes I'm really envious, and even some... Jealous of him. ”

Xue Huan looked at Arthas who was walking side by side with him in disbelief, he really couldn't believe that as a prince with a noble status, he had the same troubles as ordinary people.

Arthas smiled and patted the forehead of the horse under his crotch and exhaled a cloudy breath. These things that have been hidden in his heart, he finally found someone to confide in.

I don't know why, he always feels that Xue Huan has a mysterious and hazy feeling. It seems that even if I can tell him all the things on my mind, I won't have any burden.

It's amazing...

Maybe he and the necromancy... Oh no, this magician named Xue Huan wants to be recognized by everyone.

Xue Huan looked at Arthas in a daze, and couldn't say anything for a while.

"Then His Royal Highness the Prince. Xue Huan calmed down and tried to reorganize his language. His voice was a little hoarse and apprehensive, "About my identity..."

He was eager to know about it now, after all, it was about gaining a foothold on this continent.

"Shhhh

He looked around left and right, but fortunately, Xue Huan's words were drowned out by the sound.

"I will quietly tell my father about this matter, and if I am sure that you have not abused these forbidden techniques to kill innocent civilians, I think you will be able to get pardon. Arthas said in a voice that only he and Xue Huan could hear.

Although this was the second time he had heard this, Xue Huan still nodded sincerely, being able to get the recognition of this other world was more important than anything else.

Suddenly, Xue Huan only felt that the corners of his clothes were tight, as if he had been pulled by someone. He looked back, and it turned out to be Angel.

"What's the matter, Miss Angel?" Xue Huan has always been grateful for this girl who has been helping him along the way. After getting along for a long time, he has long regarded Patrick, Angel and others as his best partners.

And, of course, Soyle, who has long since disappeared...

"When can we go back to Stratholme?" asked Angel in a whisper.

She is not a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, but what happened in just a few days has made her a little afraid. If it weren't for Xue Huan and Soyle acting as the beam of the entire team, I am afraid that even Ilbet would not have been able to pass the level.

After all she had been through, she just wanted to go back to Stratholme, to where she belongs.

"It's almost there..."Xue Huan smiled faintly at Angel, "When I solve these troublesome things in front of me, I will go back with you." ”

Together... Get back...

Hearing these words, Angel's face turned red, like a ripe apple. She quickly pinned her head to the side and said hesitantly, "Who... Who wants... And... With you!"

Seeing Angel's panicked appearance, Xue Huan scratched his head, "Did I say something wrong?"

Patrick in front of him wiped his beard and looked at the golden boy and girl with interest.

"And what about you?Patrick?" Since he was the worst at guessing the girl's thoughts, Xue Huan didn't bother to guess, he lowered his head instead, and asked Patrick in front of him, I want to hear what this dwarven warrior has planned.

"Me?"

The dwarf pointed at himself and made a strange voice, "At least I'll be traveling around the Eastern Kingdoms for the rest of my life, doing mercenary missions, and maybe I'll be back to Ironforge in a while, or join the Explorers' Guild to have fun, hehe!"

"Explorers' Guild?" Hearing this unfamiliar and interesting name, Xue Huan suddenly became interested, "What kind of organization is that?"

"Hehe, well, of course, we dwarves started it. Patrick snapped his chest proudly.

"This organization was founded by the boss of Ironforge, Brian Copperbeard, and I won't explain the rest. In general, the mission of this organization is to search every corner of the world for the treasures left behind by the Titans. and brings together historical, personal, and cultural information from across the continent into the world's largest library. ”

This organization, it's really interesting...

Xue Huan stroked his chin, and after he had dealt with Nia's affairs, he really wanted to meet this mysterious Explorer Guild.

The interested Xue Huan may not have imagined that in the near future, it will be he who will destroy the Explorers Association with his own hands. Even the three powerful Bronze Whisker brothers were buried under his magic sword...
