5 Foothold Chapter Ninety-Five: The Blood Elf Prince—Kael'thas Chapter Ninety-Six: The Griffin and the Convocation
Donald didn't bring his retinue, only Uther followed, and the two secretly left the town of Shogune and came to the Moonlight Glade.
"Let's get started!" Uther solemnly guarded a few steps away from the Tree of Life, Donald summoned a projection of the Book of Truth and spoke.
"Book of Truth, summon for me the Terran Hero Blood Mage!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the artifact projection in front of me was shining brightly, the elemental crystals were gushing out like flowing water, and the power of the spirit hún stored in the artifact was also rapidly decreasing.
Compared to when Donald was a hero, the permanent summoning of hero units is less mobile
There are many of them, and the duration is very short. After all, one is one that requires precise manipulation of the elements with the spirit hún,
The power transforms and strengthens the existing existence, and the other relies on the mold that has been calculated to focus on energy and spirit, the former is undoubtedly more difficult, and there are many variables.
It didn't take long for a tall figure with a streamer to appear in front of the Donalds.
The light faded, and the noble and handsome blood elf knelt down on one knee in front of Donald in an elven-style mage costume.
"You are the supreme sun, my great master!"
Although it is not the first time to summon a hero's subordinates, Donald is still in a good mood when he sees the hero he has always liked appear.
"From today onwards, your name is Kael'thas, you are a descendant of the High Elves, don't mention the name Blood Elves again, now you familiarize yourself with what I said, and then we will separate and leave, and you will enter the territory as an adventurer and join my command. ”
Named after the Blood Elf Prince, Kael'thas immediately replied, "Follow your orders, my master!"
Although this Kael'thas was only created by the Book of Truth, not the Kael'thas prince in the real Warcraft history, but Donald named it Kael'thas, naturally no one will have any opinion.
The strength of Dalaran's territory is still weak, not to mention the unexpected unexpected incident of discovering the ogre, even the Viscount Macbeth, who is planning to attack Dalaran, must also have some kind of conspiracy brewing behind his back, so as to get rid of Donald, a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, step by step.
If you don't strengthen the armed forces of the territory, it is obvious that you will not be able to keep up with the current development, so it is imperative to summon the next hero's subordinates in advance.
The deterrent effect of adding a bronze powerhouse is far stronger than creating dozens of Black Iron Warriors, and Donald still understands this.
Half an hour later, Donald, who had watched Kael'thas leave, opened the Book of Truth, and the spirit hún power stored in it was still more than 10,000, so he made another permanent summoning.
A day later, rumors began to circulate in Dalaran's territory, and a new bronze powerhouse had been added to the territory, an adventurer from the south of the continent, a rare and powerful arcane mage.
A mystic mage is a type of warlock who can not only cast spells with the power of their bloodline, but also learn some of the mage's spells.
Donald sat in the ceremonial hall of the Lord's Palace, with his men standing on either the left and right.
I saw him pointing to the mysterious man below who was much taller than ordinary people, wearing a hooded cloak on his body, with a strange mask on his face, and his whole body was hidden so that he could not be seen, and said: "This is Kael'thas, that is, my second mage follower after Uther, he is also a mage, a rare secret mage, you should communicate more with each other!"
The subordinates were speechless for a while, and after a while, Master Murray asked, "Lord Lord, please forgive me, you said it too suddenly, can you tell us who this Mr. Kael'thas is, and what is your reason for joining the realm to follow your lordship?"
Donald didn't get angry when he heard this, he already knew that these subordinates would ask this, and this time he introduced Kael'thas only for these non-summoned subordinates, as for the summoned warriors, with the soldier's sense of the hero, he fully knew the identity of Kael'thas.
"Kael'thas is an unusual identity, and he has an unspeakable secret, so he has to choose to hide his true face in front of outsiders. Everyone will understand this after reading it!"
As he spoke, Donald nodded downward, and the mysterious man untied his cloak and mask on the spot, revealing the true face inside.
Brilliant blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin with pale gold sè, statue-like graceful and firm body outline, as well as pointed ears that are different from human beings, and an extraordinary height of at least nine feet or more, all indicate that this person in front of him is a noble elf.
"Elves!"
"Oh my God! it's the High Elves ......"
William and the three mages let out one another in surprise, apparently shocked by Kael'thas's identity.
You must know that since the elves retreated to the elven island in the southern sea thousands of years ago, they have rarely appeared on the mainland. Even if they do, they are young elves who have come out to run errands or train, and most of them have chosen to land in the warm areas of the southern part of the continent, and have never set foot in a region with a cold climate like the Northlands, let alone the land of the North County, which is located in the northernmost part of Celt.
Now a legendary elf suddenly appeared in front of them, making them all feel like they were in a dream. And this is not an ordinary elf, although the strength is not high, but the three mages who have a lot of knowledge immediately identified the extraordinary spirit in front of them according to the records in the book, the hair of Jin Sè, and such a skin, which is the symbol of the direct bloodline of the high elves.
I saw that the elf gave a slight mage salute in a proud but not arrogant attitude, and said, "Kael'thas has seen you!"
At this time, Donald said: "Kael'thas is a descendant of the High Elves, and his identity is more sensitive, you should all know this, so you can know his identity for a few of you, don't let others find out, the current situation in the territory is not stable, Kael'thas is one of our most important hole cards, and we can't be violent in front of outsiders!"
"Yes, my lord, we will keep this secret closely!"
The High Elves are the natural leaders and nobles of the Elven race, and are one of the most powerful races under the True Gods alongside the Titan Titans. The closer the bloodline is to the high elves, the more noble the elf identity is, and now it is said that there have been thousands of years in the elf territory without the birth of new high elves, and the high elves with an almost endless life span are not keen on power, all of them live in seclusion in secret places, the current elf race is controlled by the two nobles of the sun elf and the moon elf, compared to the moon elf who believe in the moon god, the number of sun elves who worship the sun is more rare, and there are not many descendants of the branch of the sun elves. Now the largest number of elves are the direct descendants of the moon elves, the forest elves and the steppe elves. They are ruled by the Elven Queen, who is also the High Priestess of the Moon Elves.
As for the day elves, they adopt a council system like the Council of Elders, they are mostly powerful mages and sword saints, and the day elves who uphold the tradition of the high elves do not have many priests, and they respect but do not fanatically believe in the elven gods, because legend has it that the few existing elf gods are the first few powerful high elves to be born. So the High Elves will honor and worship their brothers and elders, but the sheep will not believe in their relatives like the human fanatics.
The Blood Elves were once High Elves, and Donald imagined that if Kael'thas pretended to be a descendant of the High Elves, he would not find any flaws. As for the slight difference between the elves created by the Book of Truth based on the game and the world it was born into, and the natives of this world, the existence below the god level should not be noticed.
Compared with the Moon Elves, the bloodline of the Sun Elves is more pure, and almost every adult Day Elf will obtain the strength above the silver even if they don't work hard, and ninety percent of the Golden Archmages and Sword Saints in the entire Elf race are Sun Elves. It can be said that they cover the most powerful upper power of the elves.
If the elves knew that a pure-blooded Japanese elf nobleman had wandered to a place like the Northland and devoted himself to serving the human lord, it would probably cause a shock between the two races.
Then the future of the Dalaran Territory sandwiched between these two forces is unknown.
William, ordinary people who don't know the inside story don't know this, but of course the three Murrays, who have been mages for many years, know it. So they answered very solemnly.
"Kael'thas has a very powerful talent spell, but because of his identity, he doesn't know much about the inheritance and history of the spell faction of today's human mages, so I will open the library for him to read in the next few days, and the three mages can also take the time to exchange spell casting experience with Kael'thas, I think you will all have a great harvest!"
A bronze mage powerhouse staying in the Dalaran territory did not cause any stir among the people, after all, their genius mage lord was a bronze mage himself, and there were three powerful mages under him, and it would not be much surprising that another mage in the territory would make them feel happy and relieved.
On the contrary, the adventurers who came to Dalaran one after another because of the bounty were greatly surprised.
An adventurer with the same purpose as them suddenly joined the hands of a noble lord, which is a matter that people have to discuss, not to mention that this adventurer from afar is still a mage. For a while, many adventurers had the idea of joining the noble lords, and some powerful adventurers of the bronze rank thought that with their strength, if they could join the nobles, they could at least become army commanders or knights. In the past, there was no such plan because most of the old nobles had loyal subordinates trained by themselves, and there was basically no shortage of manpower, and as long as they were strong as an adventurer, they could earn a lot.
And there are very few new nobles like Donald who have obtained a large territory, and if they can join a new territory like Dalaran, they will definitely be able to get better treatment and status in the future.
Chapter Ninety-Six: The Griffin and the Summoning (The Second Hero Appears! Asking for Support, Asking for Shaving)
From the mouths of the adventurers, the local aristocratic forces in North County, who learned that Dalaran's strength had increased again, were more complicated, some were jealous, some were envious, and some cursed loudly like Macbeth.
But the addition of a bronze mage undoubtedly made Donald, a young lord, suddenly rise in status and strength to the rank of nobles second only to the Archon of North County and the lord of Megalith City, Viscount Macbeth. On the same echelon as him were Baron Ernest of the Red Maple and Grand Knight Captain Brewster, who was the commander of the garrison of Boulder City and the commander of the Bloodstone Fortress.
The highest status of the three is undoubtedly Brewster.
Although Brewster's title is only a knight, the status of the chief knight is different from that of ordinary knights, at least comparable to the viscount, and as a silver powerhouse, even if it is an earl, he must be respected accordingly.
Secondly, it is Donald's turn, the legendary lightning rise of the original down-and-out knight heir, suddenly became one of the most powerful nobles in the North County, the strength of the bronze mage may not be as good as the silver knight, but the status is not much lost, and there are also mages of the same bronze rank and a cadre of elite subordinates, which makes the Red Maple Baron, who only relies on commercial achievements and his current status, have to bow down.
As early as the first day after the bounty was released, Donald saw the arrival of the alien adventurers as a good opportunity for his second hero to make a smooth appearance.
Originally, it was planned that after the garrison was trained for a period of time, the territory had real force to rely on, and then summoned the next hero to find a reason to include it in the territory. Now I have to create a second hero in advance to deal with the ogre battle, and it is also to deter the sudden emergence of a large number of adventurers in the territory, as well as the spies of all parties planted in it.
Especially the thief-hearted Viscount Macbeth.
Therefore, Donald decisively created the blood mage, and the reason why it is the blood method instead of the two remaining hero master methods of the human race and the king of the hill is because the archmage and his own abilities are relatively overlapping, and it is not easy to solve the problem of a human mage. Although the dwarf king is strong, it is even more inconvenient for him to appear in front of outsiders than the blood elves. Because the dwarves' stubborn and fiery tempers are difficult to get along with humans, except when all the creatures of the Overworld in the ancient world unite to fight against the invasion of the Abyss Plane, they basically will not appear in human society, let alone join the human lords.
In comparison, the relationship between the elves and humans is quite relaxed, after all, the two races are not only the most similar in appearance, but also have the same living habits in a large part of them, and the relationship is even more intimate when they were in the ancient Arcanist Empire. Therefore, it is not without precedent for an elf to serve humans, especially aside from the identity of a noble lord, he is still a mage himself, and it will be easier to be accepted when Kael'thas is violent in the future.
In addition to the hero of Kael'thas, Donald also spent more than 2,000 units of spiritual power to summon a pair of fifth-level Terran griffons.
When the fierce eagle-headed and sphinoid beast with a wingspan of eight meters and larger than a carriage flew over the territory of Dalaran, everyone was boiling with excitement.
"Daddy, what's flying in the sky, a huge mountain eagle?"
In Ashwood Village, a young child playing in front of the door asks a male villager who is mowing the grass to prepare fodder for the livestock.
The father smiled and said: "Where is the mountain eagle so big I heard those young men from the hunting team say that it is a demonic beast raised by the lord called a griffon, relying on the body of a lion, the head and claws of the giant eagle, much more powerful than the most powerful dragon lizard beast in the mountains of my hometown, this kind of demonic beast is also the symbol of our Dalaran!"
"It's amazing! Are the demonic beasts raised by the lord like the cows we raise at home?"
The child's father nodded amusedly.
"Lou is not much the same, that is, cows eat grass, and monsters eat meat!"
"Then when I grow up, I will be like the lord and raise a lot of demonic beasts!"
For a while, there were similar conversations going on all over Dalaran Territory. And those foreign adventurers and mercenaries who got the news naturally had different opinions from ordinary villagers, and they also had more and more respect for the mage lord who could conquer and tame such a powerful magical beast.
The griffin is a strong lost monster tamed by the dwarf tribe in the history and legend of Warcraft, with the ability to control thunder and lightning and powerful hand-to-hand combat, although the level is only the level of the world's fifth-level Warcraft after being embodied by the Book of Truth, but the specific strength is far beyond the level, and it is not inferior to the general six- or seven-level Warcraft.
There are also griffins in this world, but the name is called the Lion Winged Beast, which is similar in size to the Horned Eagle Beast, and the strength of ordinary individuals is only a third-level demonic beast that is far from comparable to the powerful griffin created by Donald, because even if it is an adult dragon, the griffon, which is known for its bravery and good fighting, dares to fight as long as it gathers more than three or more.
Of course, the strength of the average adult dragon is at least above silver, and Donald estimates that it will take about five griffons to form a certain advantage and strength, and if the number exceeds five, then the odds of victory will be more than eighty percent.
The power of the spirit hún that needs to be married to the permanent summoning of the Yu level troops ranges from 1,800 to more than 2,000, and although the griffin is a relatively intelligent kind among the magical beasts, it can obey the master's orders well after domestication, but because it is not a humanoid creature or other high-level intelligent creatures, the power of the spirit hún required is correspondingly reduced, only 1,200 units, which is slightly higher than the ordinary fourth-level troops, and Donald, who has more than enough spirit in his hand, is naturally summoned.
Compared to the humanoid troops, there are a few more powerful magical beasts in the territory, which can be said to be the pets tamed by the lord of the mage and his followers with great strength, which is relatively unsuspicious, and if too many elite human subordinates suddenly appear, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from all sides. No matter what kind of warrior mage, it takes a long time of hard training and cultivation to be able to have a certain level of strength.
Originally, Dalaran was already a place where the eyes of all parties gathered, and it was difficult to guarantee that no one would be dissatisfied with the rise of the Merliner family, so Donald had to take some precautions against this, and it was better to be cautious and low-key in some aspects.
Of course, when it is time to show his strength in a high-profile manner, Donald will not show weakness, which is why the day after the creation of the griffin, he controlled the two flying monsters to patrol the territory for a circle.
With the presence of griffins, Dalaran has another powerful boost in the sky realm, and although the price of one griffin is not expensive, it is much more powerful and useful than ten horned eagles and gargoyles.
Moreover, the banner of Dalaran and the family crest of the Merlinna family have the pattern of a griffin, and the appearance of a griffin will inevitably arouse the pride and sense of belonging of the people. It has immeasurable benefits for the cohesion of Dalaran in the future.
It's just that the griffon's appetite is also quite amazing, fortunately, they don't only eat meat and like to eat some legume feed, and they only need to eat once every three days to maintain their physical strength, and when patrolling the territory, Donald will also order them to forage in the depths of the Green Cloak Forest, otherwise with Dalaran's livestock production speed, I'm afraid I can't afford to raise a few such big guys!
On the tenth day after the bounty was issued, Donald and the others were basically all there, and the day before, after issuing an order for the people who took the task to register with the magistrate William, he was ready to summon these mercenaries and adventurers in front of the lord's mansion.
A total of seventy-five people participated in this mission, except for the team led by Donald on the side of the mission publisher and two mercenary group teams of ten and eight people respectively, the remaining thirty-eight people were all adventurers who joined the mission individually or in a group of three or two.
In front of the Lord's Palace, everyone gathered here. There were also many townspeople and villagers outside watching the town.
The mercenaries who knew each other gathered in groups of three to discuss the situation of the mission, and there were also those who had grudges and met and scolded each other, but because the mission was in place, there were more than a dozen elite warriors patrolling in front of the lord's mansion, so they didn't go too far and cause chaos.
The most ostensibly powerful of these people were the captains of the two mercenary teams, both of whom were powerful swordsmen of the bronze high rank. These two mercenary teams are the elite squads sent by North Wind and Bloodstone, the two most famous mercenary groups in North County, in order to compete for the high-level magic equipment provided by the genius mage Donald, the initiator of the mission.
The strength of the other adventurers is uneven, but the lowest also has the peak of black iron, and the bronze powerhouse also has a few noons The North Wind Mercenary Group and the Bloodstone Mercenary Group have always been against each other, and the two captains are also old rivals, this time they gather together, and they are in a competitive relationship, so naturally they will inevitably be ridiculed.
"You bloodstone soldiers don't gnaw wood in Greenwood Town, how can you also have the heart to come here to Dalaran to take on the task? Isn't it that the regiment can't open the pot, so you came out to earn some money to buy rice for the pot?"
"Bastard of the North Wind! Don't talk if your mouth is so stinky, haven't you always praised yourself as the No. 1 mercenary group in the North County, and the strongest mercenary group in the North in the future?
At this time, there was movement in the lord's mansion, and the two captains immediately stopped the war of words among the team members, and the other adventurers couldn't help but shut up when they saw the door of the lord's mansion open, and the scene fell silent for a while.
With the opening of the way, the civil and military officials of Dalaran's territory walked out one after another, and the last ones were three mages and knights in silver armor, and a tall mysterious man with a mask and a cloak, as well as the main owner of this mission, Lord Baron Melinna, the lord of Dalaran.
Seeing that this rumored genius mage and kingdom hero was indeed as young as rumored, many adventurers couldn't help but admire.
He has just reached adulthood and is not yet eighteen years old, and he is already a noble lord and a powerful bronze mage, and his subordinates are said to be full of talents, and the territory is also very rich and powerful.
In contrast, some of the adventurers present are nearly fifty years old, and they are only mixed in the black iron rank, and they don't even have a stable family business, and they are really failures in life! @.
