It's been seven days since I last stepped into this majestic hall...

In just a few days, Xue Huan successfully prepared for the invasion plan, and infiltrated the dark power into Lordaeron's interior without realizing it.

In addition to high-ranking generals such as Farrar and Rupat, who are good at combat skills and have a certain amount of mental power, the garrison knights of the four gates of Lordaeron, as well as some high-ranking nobles, have become slaves loyal to the Lich King.

However, Xue Huan knew very well that the effect of the Fallen Shadow's demagogic power would not last long, so he secretly contacted Kel'thugad in Kelseron and ordered the Great Lich to send a group of dark believers of the Cursed Sect to infiltrate Lordaeron.

The key reason why the Cursed Cultists couldn't sneak into Lordaeron in the first place was that the four city gates were heavily guarded, but now, the control of the city gates has quietly fallen into Xue Huan's hands, so it is not difficult to let these Cursed Cultists sneak into the masses.

Secondly, the thousands of zombies lurking in the tombs of Andorhar, as well as the ghouls, are also ready to attack. They were commanded by the Grand Lich Kel'thugad as their temporary commander, and when the plague broke out, they took advantage of the chaos and poured in from the periphery to take over the city.

According to reliable sources, Uther was stationed in Steinbrad to wipe out the remaining Blackstone Orcs, while Tirio Fordin stayed in his hometown of Hearthvale, while Gavenrad and Dasohan were stationed in Andorhar as consuls. Although the great general Abidis is a marshal, his true strength is only a high-ranking knight, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

So there are only two key questions that stand in his way...

One of those points is Falar.

This knight captain of Lordanlun, who had a relationship with Xue Huan at the beginning, has the level of a sixth-order knight, and basically represents the peak strength of the entire Lordanlun at present.

If he was present on the day of the rebellion, his plan would be a little more hindered, and before he could completely wipe out this sixth-order knight, it was the best way to deal with him by designing to transfer him away from Lordaeron.

The second is about a treasure hidden in the depths of Lordaeron's court.

According to the report of the cursed cultist Tried, who lurked in the upper nobility a few days ago, in an underground chamber of Lordaeron's palace, there is an unknown treasure hidden in it, which has great power, and once the seal is opened, it will give people immortal power. However, all this is just a legend among the nobles, except for the old king Terenus and his heirs, no one has actually seen this artifact, and everything is just hearsay for the time being.

But even so, Xue Huan still took this unexpected factor into account, an artifact that was enough to destroy the world was not a joke.

The invasion plan is imminent, and at this critical moment, no one can make mistakes, especially if they are deep inside the enemy, and they cannot afford to be sloppy.

"Lord Odirica, I finally see you again. ”

A loud voice pulled Xue Huan back to reality, and he realized that before he knew it, he had arrived at the Lordaeron Hall, and Terenus, who was sitting on the throne, was looking at him with a smile on his face.

This old guy...

For some reason, Xue Huan's face looked a little pale today, and his spirit was also a little trance, as if he had been drained of his strength.

Apparently, Terenus noticed this too...

The old king asked with concern, "What's the matter?"

Holding his body strongly, Xue Huan squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth, and bowed slightly as usual: "Dear Your Majesty, it's okay, maybe it's because I didn't sleep last night." ”

"Hahaha. ”

Tyrenus, who was sitting on the throne, laughed, and the old king looked very happy, and his mental state was unusually full: "Lord Odirika should have adapted quite well these days, I heard that you have made a lot of new noble friends. ”

New aristocratic friends?!

Interesting...

It seems that although this old guy pretends to be unguarded against himself on the surface, in secret, he is investigating his every move, but fortunately, those puppets who are bewitched by the shadow of the fallen should not show any horses, otherwise things will be bad.

Xue Huan smiled faintly and replied without being humble or arrogant: "Of course, Your Majesty." You know, I grew up in Alterac, where there was snow all year round, and the snowy brown bears in the Alterac Mountains would occasionally infest the merchants and farmers who passed by. Compared with the pleasant climate, Lordaeron, where the temperature and living environment are almost as bad as those in Northrend. ”

Listening to Xue Huan's slightly mournful tone, Terenus patted the armrest and laughed out loud, regardless of the image.

No king would refuse to listen to heartfelt praise, which was a disguised praise for his good governance, and although Galya kept insisting that the identity of the lord of Odilika in front of him was suspicious, the old king could not help but nod.

And just when Terenus and Xue Huan had a wordless conversation, on the other side, Princess Galya, who was standing in the corner of the palace, never took her eyes off Xue Huan.

"How's it going? Bishop Esenlian?"

She asked the white-robed priest beside her.

The entire hall is divided into two floors, in order not to attract Xue Huan's attention and vigilance, the cautious Princess Galia specially chose the second floor, where the view is wide, and what happened in the entire hall can be seen at a glance.

"Please wait a moment, my Highness Princess. ”

Wearing a white robe and a short brown beard, Ethan Lien was staring at Xue Huan in the audience at this time, his eyes bursting with a scorching golden light, which is unique to priests, and is good at spotting evil from the shadows - Psychic Vision.

As a bishop, although Ethanlion has been serving as the liaison of the Knights of the Silver Hand for several years, as a high-ranking priest of the Holy Light, his awareness of evil and devotion to the Holy Light have always been admired by his colleagues, and even the High Lord Tirio Ferdin, is full of praise for Ethanlion.

A few minutes passed, and during this time Galia did not make a sound to disturb Ethanlien beside her, knowing that the work done by the priests was extremely mentally draining, and any interference from the outside world would affect their judgment.

Another few minutes passed, and as the golden light in his eyes gradually faded, Ethan Lion's face deepened.

"How?"

Looking at Ethan Lion's gradually frowning brow, Galia had a bad premonition.

Was she really guessed?

But Ethan Lien's next words made Galya's face completely freeze.

"I'm sorry princess, I didn't find any demonic aura. ”

Shaking his head, the archbishop glanced at Xue Huan in the audience, and said lightly: "That guy is not at all abnormal except for his body being a little weak, of course, there are some slight magic fluctuations in his body, but this doesn't mean anything, after all, as far as I know, the Odrica family is naturally good at manipulating elemental magic." ”

"How... How is that possible!?"

Galia was speechless, her eyes full of shock.

Could it be that my previous assumptions were all wrong?

Could it be that this Lord of Odirika really just chose the wrong time to serve Lordaeron?

At this moment, Galia was reluctant to believe Ethan Lien's words, but the authoritative statement of a high-ranking priest from the Silver Hand did not allow her to question it.

"Is there any other possibility, such as being manipulated or something?" said Galia, eagerly.

She was unwilling to let her inferences be overturned, and there must have been something else going on.

"Unlikely..."

Shaking his head again, Ethan Lien looked directly at Galia and made a concluding speech: "Judging from the only information available so far, the magic that can manipulate a person's behavior is only the legendary charm spell and some undead magic, but unfortunately, if it is really these two magics, we will definitely see through it at a glance." ”

"So..."

Ethanlien, who had a solemn face, didn't say the next words, but the meaning was already obvious...

Opening her mouth, the proud Princess Lordaeron didn't spit out another half a word after all, and Galia lowered her eyelids, not knowing what she was thinking.

The council in the main hall is still going on...

However, no one noticed that Xue Huan, who was standing in the middle of the hall at this time, showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of his slightly weak mouth...
