Chapter 13 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"How can this work!" The burliest mage shouted in a hurry, "There's no reason for them to ignore us!" ”
"Yes, there's no reason," replied an older female mage, "but they did."
In the court of the sky in Dalaran, the archmages of the Kenrito Council were summoned together, but there were five people coming, and the convener Crassus was not present, but the situation was urgent, and there was no time to explain, and the five of them couldn't wait for Crassus to be present and started the meeting. The mortal kings held closed meetings and agreed on important events without consulting Kenrito. Kenrito has always been respectful of other kings, and some of Kenrito's councillors have attended any of the Alliance's summits before this. Since Dalaran has always been firmly on the front line in support of the alliance, it would be unfair to do so.
The mages were reluctant to admit it, but the facts told them more than once that times had changed
"The legacy of Alterac should have been resolved a long time ago," one elven mage pointed out, "We should strongly assert our legitimate rights and interests in the agenda item" Alterac is not far from Dalaran, so to speak, on the highest mage tower in Dalaran, you can see the snow-capped Alterac Mountains, what kind of king in Alterac is closely related to the mages of Dalaran, although they will not participate in political affairs, but no one wants to see a king who is hostile to mages ruling the land near Dalaran
"And then start another infighting?" A bearded male mage retorted in a loud voice, "Don't you notice that the other Alliance nations are alienating us at the moment? It seems that after the problem of the orcs has been completely solved, they finally have time to deal with us"
"We have to find out the reason for all this, haven't you noticed, the lord named Presto, everything has changed since she appeared. The kings are no longer willing to ask for our opinions," the older female mage said the consensus of all the mages present, "what is she coming from, and what is she trying to convince the kings"
"In her peculiar method, of course," was Crassus's calm voice. The mage with the hood finally returned to his place, and the promoter appeared in the middle of the meeting, though no one would blame him for being late, as he rushed to Lordaeron as soon as the Kenrito Council received news of the King's Summit
"You're back just in time!" The bearded mage turned his face towards Crassus, not just him. Several of the other archmages looked at Crassus with the same eagerness, "Do you have any news?" ”
"Very limited. The meeting has ended...... All we can see is superficial. And there's nothing in it that we don't know. In the end I had to resort to other means to get more information" Crassus's voice hesitated as he raised one of his gloved hands "Look at this, you're going to want to know her"
In the middle of the hall, a tall human illusion appeared on the floor carved with the text. It had a magnificent body, dressed in elegant dark clothes, with a handsome face of a tall woman, and a shrewd glint between its eyebrows. No matter how you look at it, it's as realistic as a real person. The six mages looked at the illusion and were silent for a few moments. It was as if I wanted to memorize her appearance completely
"Who is this" After a while, the original young female mage asked, "I don't remember this person in the Alliance"
"You may not know you now," Crassus replied after looking at his companions with a scrutinizing eye, "but you will soon hear her name in every inch of the Alliance, the new monarch of the highly embraced kingdom of Alterac, Presto I."
"Damn it! How could they do that! ”
"Terenus didn't even explain it to us!"
"They can't decide like this in our absence~~~ How can this be?"
As soon as Crassus's voice fell, Kenrito's center exploded in an instant. It is known that every time a new king ascends the throne, the mages of Dalaran are involved, albeit only as a formality. However, it symbolizes the friendly cooperation between mortal kings and mages. This time, however, all the human kings agreed to appoint a new king in the absence of the Kenrito Council. Something that has not happened for thousands of years cannot but cause them to worry
"What the hell is the origin of this Presto," the calmest elven mage asked Crassus
The Red Dragon Mage shrugged, "A small nobleman from the north, helpless and without a background. However, not only did he please Tenaris, but even the other lords and even Jean? Greymane was impressed by him."
"Then you can make her king?!" The bearded mage said angrily, "If you have a good relationship, you can become a king." Those courtiers in the king's court have long been in high positions! ”
"And more crucially, you keep looking," Crassus motioned for his colleague to calm down, and he waved his hand again, and another vision appeared in front of Master Kenrito. The illusion was when Qiuchen sat in the carriage with Nessario, "You should remember this face, I'm worried. Lord Presto used her tactics to win over a stronger ally to the kings."
For a moment, Kenrito's mages fell silent, and after a long time, the elven mage spoke
Or...... It's an opportunity for us."
Several other mages looked at the elven mage with confusion
"If I'm not mistaken, the former Guardian had a good relationship with this Excellency, perhaps...... We can get news about Presto from her."
Who knows, as soon as these words came out, Kenrito's mage became even more silent
"We ...... Who is going to contact the Guardians...... "The mutation of the Rhyfa Council more than ten years ago is no secret among mages, but Mage Dalaran has always had a bad relationship with the maverick Guardian, otherwise they would not have sent Khadgar to be an undercover agent in the first place, and now, the whereabouts of the Guardian Medivan are unknown, and the former Guardian Egwene is even more ignorant of the affairs of the world. The relationship has been stiff for I don't know how many years, and I suddenly want to ask someone to do something......
Who pulled this face down......
"Are you sure that Lord Egwene will not turn the messenger we sent over into frogs and send them back......," the older female mage muttered, "The worst outcome is probably to be burned to ashes and scattered in the ground as fertilizer" Over the years, the former Guardian's temper has become more and more irritable, so much so that Kenrito had to buy the farm near Egwene's hermitage in order to protect their secrets, and then dismiss all the civilians around him, and put a warning sign that the bear is infested here
"I feel like I still have a way...... Let my apprentice named Ronin go, take this vision, and tell the former Guardian that the lord with whom she is related seems to have a new love, and it is the current lord of Presto, who is in the limelight" Crassus said calmly, without the slightest guilt of betraying the apprentice "With Ronin's luck, he will definitely survive before the Guardian turns his anger away"
“…… I'd rather Ronin be killed when the news arrives."
"yes, yes, it's not in vain that the money we spent on the previous Guardian to cover up the news can finally help us get rid of a scourge"
So, Ronin, who was playing Hearthstone in the tavern, sneezed (to be continued. )
