Chapter 106: Shadow I.
Early the next morning, Xue Huan got up early.
On the table in the hall, there was already breakfast prepared by the royal guards.
I thought that the royal family of the other world would have some special breakfast, but when I looked closely, it was nothing more than milk, fried eggs, and a piece of cheese, which had already appeared in the previous life.
After spending some time and eating breakfast, Xue Huan wiped his mouth.
Looking back at Patrick, who was still snoring, he smiled faintly.
This period of time is also difficult for him, in the past half a month, they have not stopped, and their nerves have been in high tension. Now, there was finally a chance to rest and recuperate, and he naturally wouldn't disturb the dwarves' dreams.
And he himself also wants to take a good look at this otherworldly city...
Xue Huan's waiting room was not too far from the palace gate, and after turning a few corners, he successfully reached the palace gate.
During this period, there were royal guards patrolling from time to time, holding halberds shining with cold light, looking at Xue Huan with puzzled faces. However, fortunately, many of these guards had already seen Xue Huan yesterday, otherwise they would have arrested him as an illegal intruder.
However, with Xue Huan's current strength, it is not a problem to easily deal with more than ten or twenty royal guards. Of course, this does not include the dozen or so guards I saw in the main hall yesterday.
The guards guarding the palace gate were even more strict and cautious, and only after Xue Huan laboriously explained for a long time, plus released a few small fireballs symbolizing the magician, they were able to escape.
Outside the hall gate, Xue Huan saw a familiar and beautiful figure.
With brown shawl hair and a slender and tight figure, who is Angel who has been fighting side by side with Xue Huan all this time?
The rising sun cast a blush on Angel's face, and Xue Huan was stunned. He shook his head, put the annoying thoughts behind him, smiled again, and stepped forward to say hello.
"Miss Angel, why are you here?"
"Oh... Early... Good morning. ”
I don't know if she was startled by the sudden shout, Angel turned her head, blushed, and explained: "I... I'm ready to... Go to the city and buy some mana potions, because... Because of me... I'm running out of stock, and I'd like to... Later may... Yes. ”
"Oh, that's right, let's go together, I just want to go around the city and buy some weapons and equipment. ”
In fact, buying a weapon is fake, after all, there is already a mage artifact like Demon Gaze, and Xue Huan no longer needs to worry about weapons. But if you don't come to a majestic city like Lordaeron and see what you're looking for, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
"Well... Well..."
Seeing Xue Huan's excited appearance, Angel replied helplessly.
In fact, she didn't want to be alone with Xue Huan now, but she didn't quite understand why she had this idea.
The air of ambiguity pervades ...
But Xue Huan, who was nervous, didn't notice it in the slightest, Gu Zi and Angel walked side by side, looking around from time to time, he seemed to be curious about everything.
Before leaving the palace, Xue Huan had already asked the guard who delivered breakfast everything about Lordaeron.
The beautiful city of Lordaeron is located north of the Eastern Kingdom, near the Silver Pine Forest, surrounded by the beautiful Tirisfal Glades, and a little further north is the vast open plain that Terenus named the "Plains of Lordaeron".
Among the Seven Kingdoms, in terms of military strength and wealth, the first to bear the brunt is the Kingdom of Stormwind, followed by Lordaeron.
At the same time, Lordaeron is also the largest of the Seven Kingdoms. Don't look at Stormwind's military strength and material production are second to none, but in terms of land area alone, Lordaeron can be called a vast territory, dominating the north.
The Lordaeron Empire is bordered by the North Coast to the north, the Wall of Sauradin to the south, the Endless Sea to the east, and the Forbidden Sea to the west, and the cross-section directly spans the entire territory of the Eastern Kingdom. The main towns under his rule are Stratholme, Andorhar, Daron County, Talenmere, Nanhai Town, Hearth Valley, Thurberchel, Ambermere and more than ten towns.
Among them, Stratholme has the most developed economy, and Ambermir is known as the breadbasket of the entire Eastern Kingdom, and these two places are also the key territories for the development of Terenus.
In terms of farms, there are more than 30 farms under the Empire, such as Soridan Farm, Banir Farm, Agamande Mill, and Darsun Farm, and as many as 150,000 Lordaeron civilians live in these places.
On weekdays, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset. However, the orc war led to the burning of nearly one-third of Lordaeron's farms and the slaughter of tens of thousands of human civilians, and Terenus had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to pacify the townspeople and organize post-disaster reconstruction.
While Xue Huan and Angel were shuttling through the streets of Lordaeron, Terenus also reconvened the kings of the countries who stayed in Lordaeron on post-war issues. Among them, there are Solas Tolbain and others...
The palatial inner sanctuary of the Imperial Palace, which was specially opened up by Terenus as a meeting room for important guests. The ceiling lamps made of magic crystals, the stone tables and stone benches made of precious stone, and the royal guards stationed inside and outside the hall at all times all indicate the importance of this meeting.
It can be said that this meeting will directly determine the fate of the human kingdom in the next twenty years.
But the atmosphere in the hall doesn't seem to be very harmonious...
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Terenus, but if you can't meet my request, I'll withdraw from the Alliance. From now on, Stormgard will no longer participate in any of the League's campaigns, and will cut off all diplomatic contact. ”
In the inner hall, Thorbain was arguing fiercely with Terenus, his hands gesturing and expressing his opinion in a violent manner.
"Calm down, sir!"
Tyrenus, who was on top of the throne, rubbed his temples, he was about to be devastated by the aftermath of the past few days. But the political literacy he has cultivated over the years has made it clear to him that there is one thing, that is...
The irascible Torbain must not be provoked on the spot!
At this time, he commanded tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and what was even more terrifying was that he collected the tens of thousands of remnants of Alterac's army. This is a huge military force, and if it is not handled well, it will inevitably give rise to new disputes.
Ambition is creeping up in Solas Tolbane's heart, and Terenus knows this, and he must hold on to Tolbane!
