He couldn't help but suspect Darkan, because there were only a handful of people who possessed all of these elements. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among them, the most famous and familiar with the entire rune tablet system is undoubtedly Prince Kael'thas. But does Prince Kael'thas betray the High Elves? Even a fool wouldn't think so.

And the others, all of them are the most important tasks for the whole of Quel'Thalas.

For example, King Anastarian Sunstrider, for example, the archmages of the court, these people would never betray the Sunstrider family and Quel'Salas, there is no doubt about that. Then all the magicians who understand the rune tablet system, and the one who is most likely to betray, is only Darkan.

Despite how much he didn't want to believe that someone would betray his race, he decided to take a good look at Darkan. Because this matter is too important, too important to make any mistakes, otherwise what awaits the entire High Elves will be a catastrophe from which they will never recover.

Ordering the guards around him to bring the messenger down to rest, he secretly ordered his infiltrators to investigate Darkan's movements, and dispatched twelve lurkers at once, if Darkan dared to destroy the rune stele, he would be the first to destroy him. As for the betrayal of someone in the country, he had already written a report, together with the secret letter in his hand, and asked the mages around him to use the teleportation circle to teleport to Silvermoon City.

Such a big thing, no matter what, is to rule Silvermoon City, but fortunately, the convenience of magic makes it extremely convenient to pass messages.

……

Silvermoon City, the royal capital of the High Elves, is a city of great beauty.

The entire city is bathed in golden light, and there are traces of magic everywhere.

A magic broom that cleans up the streets by itself, a magic street lamp that never goes out, a mana floating dragon that frolicks among the flowers, and more...... There are so many dreamlike scenes that make this one of the most beautiful cities on the mainland.

This city that shines with magic is extremely peaceful and quiet, where the High Elves live, study, and study magic, and live a life of no contention.

But that tranquility is finally shattered today.

The silence of the Sun-Chaser Court was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps, and Archmage Romans from the Mage Council walked into the Mage Tower with a solemn face, and a few minutes later, all the high-ranking generals stationed in Silvermoon City gathered in the Sun-Chaser Court.

The High Elf King Anastarian Sunstrider sat in the chamber and looked at the important ministers in front of him with a solemn face.

Ranger General Sylvanas Windranger, and her lieutenant, Lotherma Theron; The leader of the Legion of the Far Wanderers, Haduron Mingyi; Archmage Romans, leader of the Council of Mages; Senior priest von Delors, and his adopted daughter and disciple Liadrin...... and the entire Silvermoon City Council.

These people each represent the pinnacle of each field, and they are Anastarian's most important helpers, and it is because of these people that he can better manage this country. And the various classes they represent are also an integral part of Quel'Salas.

These people usually have their own things to do, and it is rare for them to gather together.

But today Anastarian had gathered them together, and all of them had serious expressions, and they all felt something from the king's expression.

"The Undead Scourge has gathered to the south of the Wraith Lands, and they will attack at any time......"

Anastarian looked at the people in the room and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the Undead Scourge is not terrible, it's just some bone slag, the High Elves are not afraid of these undead monsters, whether it is the mage legion or the priest team, it is very easy to exterminate these monsters, they can't even break through the rune tablet defense system, so I don't think the Undead Disaster has anything to worry about."

One of the members of the Silvermoon City Council stood up and spoke loudly without waiting for Anastarian to finish speaking.

This kind of meeting has been held several times recently, and in fact, there are really few people in the High Elves who take the undead disaster seriously. Although the Necromantic Plague has destroyed the Lordaeron Kingdom, the situation at that time was relatively special, it was the prince of the Lordaeron Kingdom, Arthas, who suddenly attacked, and the entire Lordaeron was caught off guard before they were able to get it, if they were prepared, as the most powerful country in the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race, Lordaeron would not be defeated so easily.

Moreover, the High Elves look down on humans from the bottom of their hearts, and in their opinion, the enemies that humans cannot face are almost an existence that can be crushed at will for them, so now Anastarian spoke of the undead scourge as soon as he opened his mouth, and the councilors, who were already not very tired of it, immediately raised objections to the Great Lalama.

The other high-ranking generals also nodded, the arrogance of the High Elves was well known, and they never felt that there was anything wrong with this.

For a while, there were different opinions in the conference hall, but in the final analysis, it was a concept - the undead natural disaster is not terrible, and there is no need to think about it at all.

Anastarian hadn't spoken since he was interrupted, quietly watching the other people's "performances", and only after everyone felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and gradually no one spoke, he sighed slightly.

"Everyone is right, the undead scourge is not terrible, we High Elves have great power, with the endless energy of the Well of the Sun and a strong defense system, we can easily keep the undead scourge out of the Ghost Land...... But what if the defenses are breached? ”

As Anastarian's voice fell, the room fell silent.

Everyone stared at him in amazement, and it took a few moments before one of the councillors burst out laughing.

"Hehe, how is this possible, how can the undead scourge break through our defenses......"

"The Undead Scourge may not have this ability, but it doesn't mean that the defense is unbreakable, this is the message sent back by Olena Hawkeye, you can take a look."

Anastarian said, throwing the report and secret letter in front of him in the center of the table, and Sylvanas Windranger, who was sitting next to her, was the first to reach out and pick up the secret letter and report, and at a glance, her delicate face suddenly changed, and suddenly became as pale as snow.

"Your Majesty, this can't be ......"

"Let's take a look at it before we discuss it."

Anastarian waved her hand, motioning for her not to speak yet.

Then the secret letters and information were passed on one by one, and everyone who saw it turned pale in an instant, just like Sylvanas.

They instinctively don't want to believe the contents of the secret letter, let alone the fact that the secret letter was passed on by humans.

"Your Majesty......" a councillor who had just read the secret letter spoke, "Humans cannot be trusted, there will be no traitors among the High Elves, Your Majesty must not believe in human tricks......"

"Humans are very cunning indeed."

Anastarian nodded.

"However, if the contents of this letter are true, if someone really destroyed the rune tablet defense array when the undead invaded...... Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do, I believe that you understand the importance of the rune stele without me saying more, in fact, even in the country of the High Elves, there are not many people who understand the rune stele. But how did a prince of a human kingdom, especially a prince of an isolated kingdom like Gilneth, know about the rune stele? The information he got from the Scourge of the Dead may not be credible, but if it's true...... Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot bear this consequence, and neither can you. ”

There was silence in the room, and no one dared to talk to them, and no one dared to raise any objections, because, as Anastarian had said, the stakes were too great for anyone to take on the responsibility, and if what happened in the secret letter did happen, the result would be ......

"Your Majesty is right, this matter is too important to be careless, so I have already sent someone to find Darkan, and Olena has also filmed twelve lurkers to come to find Darkan, as long as we find him, we will control him as soon as possible, and will never give him the opportunity to destroy the rune stele."

Archmage Romans said in a deep voice.

All of you here are smart people, people who have the ability, the conditions, and the possibility to do this, and they can lock on to their goals with little to no thought.

"Your Highness Romans, Darkanta, he is my good friend, I know him, he should not do this."

Liadlin, who was standing behind Senior Priest Von Delore, shook her body slightly, and said in a pale trembling voice.

"Liadrin—quiet, there's no place for you to talk here."

Lotherma, who was standing behind Sylvanas, glared at Liadline and said in a deep voice.

"But, but, Lotherma, Darkanta......"

Darkan and both of them were good friends, and when they were younger, they had traveled far and wide together, but Darkan was already an archmage at the time, and the two of them were an unknown little ranger and an unknown little priest. They had both been helped by Darkan and regarded Darkan as their best friend, so neither of them wanted to believe that Darkan would do such a thing.

It's just that Lotherma is more calm, he knows that only Darkan is suspected of this at the moment, so he didn't interject until Liadrin, regardless of the difference in identity, dared to say such an insignificant thing, and he scolded him.

"Alright, alright."

Von Delors glanced back at his adopted daughter and patted his hand gently.

"I know that you and Darkan are good friends, and we didn't say that he would betray us, in fact, human intelligence cannot be fully trusted, and what we can do at the moment is to temporarily control Darkan, whether there is really a betrayal or not, we can't allow any possible crisis to happen. If it is finally confirmed that he is indeed innocent, we will return his innocence, rest assured. ”

Liadlin is not the future blood knight lord, she is still just a little girl now, so standing up and speaking in such an environment, she is already scared to death in her heart, but when it comes to the friend she wants in the end, she doesn't want to see her friend framed.

However, it is precisely because her status is still too low that others don't care about her rudeness. Seeing that Von Delore had already begun to comfort the little girl, everyone immediately retracted their attention and began to discuss how to protect the rune stele.

But before they could come up with a result, there was a strange vibration in the air.

The tremor could not be seen with the naked eye, not even the skin could feel the difference, but the faces of everyone present changed, and Anastari stood up and looked out with a grim face.

Romans's face was also pale, and his body trembled violently.

And the others, whether they were members of the Silver Moon Council or the high-ranking generals present, even the lowest-ranking Lotherma and Liadline were stunned on the spot.

This fluctuation was very familiar to them, it was the fluctuation of the magic element, but they had never seen such a violent fluctuation, and the surrounding magic element had almost reached a boiling state. With such a fierce elemental fluctuation, there can only be one answer - the defensive array has broken!

The web that covered all of Quel'Thalas was broken, the shield of defenses was broken, and the elements were rapidly dissipating. If the entire kingdom of Quel'Salas is like a big balloon, then the defensive shield is the body of the balloon, and the magic element is the gas inside. Now that the balloon has burst, the gas inside has naturally begun to drift wildly, and in just a few breaths, the concentration of elements in the air has dropped a lot.

Outside, the exclamations of ordinary residents and guards could already be heard, and everyone in the room looked at the sky in disbelief as if they had been struck by lightning.

Like a large chunk of glass being broken, the softly glowing shield of the sky was shattering, revealing the bluer sky beyond.

"Bastard!"

Anastarian shouted angrily and slapped the table hard.

"Check it out! Give me a hard look! ”

No one could be more angry than him, last second they were still discussing how to prevent the destruction of the defensive array, who would have thought that the next second the defensive array would be destroyed. There is nothing wrong with the message sent by human beings, some people have betrayed their own race, and some people have taken refuge in the undead of natural disasters.

"No matter who it is, no matter who she is, find him, I will kill him with my own hands!"

Anastarian slammed out the long sword at his waist and slashed it on the table, releasing the murderous aura all over his body without hesitation, and the faces of many people in the room turned pale.

Liadrin, in particular, shook her body violently and fainted directly. Luckily, Lotherma was quick and strode forward to hold her.

They all thought that Darkan had been wronged and that the humans were just alarmists, but now that the defensive array had been destroyed, and of all those who could have done it...... Darkan is the most suspected.

And more importantly, it was Lothmar himself who told Darkan about the shortcomings of the rune tablet system! (To be continued.) )
