Chapter 628: Soladin's Secret
Ever since Anastria abdicated to Kael'thas, the retired king has not been seen again.
He deliberately kept a low profile in order to avoid two orders, and handed over all the authority of the royal family of the Sunseeker to his son.
Sarean had heard Kael'thas complain before that the old king often passed the time with the prophet Viren, who had nothing to do.
And according to Kael'thas revealed privately, Anastria didn't really let go of everything.
In order to hide the remnants of the old aristocracy led by Darkan, the scientific cooperation between Quel'Salas and the Deleni has been hidden in the shadows, and the old king who has abdicated himself has been in charge.
This is one of the main reasons why Viren came to Quel'Thalas when he had nothing to do.
Displaced for tens of thousands of years, the Deleni people, who were hunted down and killed by their clansmen, have never forgotten their homeland, Agus.
After settling in Azeroth, the Deleni finally gained a relatively stable base and were able to calm down and reorganize the various Eredar technologies that were still recorded to this day.
In the tens of thousands of years of escape, the Deleni people have lost too much, because some of the technicians who have mastered important technologies have unfortunately been killed, and some of them have even been broken.
The death of Archbishop Hataru of the Technician has dealt a severe blow to the scientific research system of the Deleni people.
Before the new generation of Deleni technician leader Romuel led the team to sort out and understand the technology left by their predecessors, the Deleni people did not have the technical ability to build spaceships for the time being.
High Elves in Engineering ...... In other words, the scientific attainments of the Deleni people are not high, but the magic skills that Quel'Salas possesses have inspired the Deleni technicians.
With the idea of complementarity, and under the secret impetus of Anasteria and Viren, Deleni and the High Elf Technicians have been working together since a long time ago, learning from each other's techniques and touching each other's skills.
Over the years, Sarena has been running around, not paying much attention to the progress of this secret mission.
Anastria was suddenly summoned at this time, apparently not just missing Sarjan.
From Kael'tham's meaningful eyes, Salian saw some clues.
With Darkan still present, Salian nodded quietly in agreement.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll go to visit His Majesty Anestria later, speaking of which, it's true that I haven't seen his old man for a long time."
Noticing Sarjan's knowing eyes, Kael'thas nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's get down to business, about the transfer of the Morning Striker......"
……
The court of the Sunseeker was extremely large, and the outer court, the main hall, the dormitory, and the gardens that Kael'thas frequented occupied only less than a third of the total area.
After the abdication of Anastria, he consciously chose to live in a palace deeper into the depths.
Not to mention foreign ministers, even the court attendants who served Kael'thas would not go to the palace of Anastria to recuperate without being ordered.
Naturally, the secret research carried out in this palace is not known to outsiders.
There are only about 20 people in total, including Kael'thas, who know of the secret cooperation between Quel'Thallas and the Draenei, and they are all reliable people who are trusted by the Sunseeker royal family.
The last time Sarayan saw Anastria was at the time of Kael'thas succession ceremony.
After the ceremony, the old king took the initiative to retreat to the deep palace without even attending the banquet, with a posture of never asking about the world.
Sarjan had thought that Anastria, who was alone in the deep palace, would look even older, but when he saw the former Sun King, who had long since abdicated, Saljan was shocked.
Perhaps because of the burden of being the king of a country, the spirit of Anastria, which is light and light, is even stronger than the last time we met.
…… Of course, his appearance is still so old, this is an irreversible law of nature.
"Long time no see, Sarjan."
Stripped of its crown, Anastria lost the majesty of being a king, and looked like a kind aristocratic grandfather.
The prophet Viren happened to be absent today, and Sarean didn't care where Viren went, and respectfully stroked his chest and bowed his head to greet the old king.
"Your Majesty Anastria, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your complexion is better than when you were in power."
"Haha! Sure enough, you said the same. ”
Anastria smirked his beard and laughed: "Maybe it's the warming effect of those magic wines that Elisander gave me, although I can't use the power of time to completely lock the flow of my life, but it still plays a role." ”
After the abdication, Anastria did not serve many people, all of them were old men worthy of the trust of the royal family, and they had followed Anastria for at least 1,000 years.
The old king did not shy away from them in front of them, and asked straight to the point, "I heard that you found Soladin's sword in the tomb of Tyr?" ”
Sarean: "Yes, it's in my space package. ”
Anastria waved his hand with interest and said, "Approve the release of the spatial package lock of the Earl of Deep Shadow, take it out and take a look." ”
With a wave of his hand, an old mage guarding Anastria regained its freedom.
Slowly taking out the Sdomka Warkiller, Saljan held his greatsword in both hands and showed it to Anastria.
"Sure enough......"
The old king stepped down from his seat, stroking the blade of his sword with a look of nostalgia on his face.
"The appearance is almost unchanged from the last time I saw it, except for a slight change in the nature of its strength."
Anastria had a great conversation with Soradin when he was young, but humans did not have the same long life span as the High Elves, and Soladin had long since turned to dust, and even the last of his bloodlines had been cut off years earlier.
The old and refined Anasteria saw some clues from the change in Sarjan's face, and asked with a kind smile, "You seem to have something you want to ask me?" Don't be scrupled, just say it. ”
"Yes......"
Sarjan sorted out his words: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you have ever heard of the origin of Araso?" ”
"Araso's ...... Origin? ”
Anastria bowed his head and muttered for a moment: "Very nostalgic words, I guess you must have thought of the Arathi Heights and Riptide Fort?" ”
The old king's words made Saryan stunned for a moment: "Isn't it? ”
"Heh~" Anastria shook his head amusedly: "Of course not, that's just a glorification of the historian." ”
"The truth is that Soladin didn't first start out in the Arathi Heights."
"It wasn't until he unified the major tribes of the human race that he found the Arathi Heights under the guidance of his father in his dreams, and finally built and settled in Riptide City."
Sarjan: "This ......"
Sarjan was surprised by the secret information that was different from the history books, and Anastria was not surprised by this.
"Surprised, huh? It is impossible for a person who writes history to be completely objective and neutral, and it is inevitable to revise and revise what actually happened. ”
[Aren't the history books of our country also full of Spring and Autumn brushwork? Understandable. 】
Without waiting for Sarian to take the initiative to ask, Anastria answered his question first.
"The Arathi Plateau was obscured by the surrounding terrain 3,000 years ago, and no one knew about this hidden plateau area."
"The area where the Wall of Soladin is located today used to be rolling hills, but the terrain was changed after a major earthquake."
"Soladin first started at the junction of the Alterac Mountains and the Hillsbride Hills, I remember...... That area seems to be called Steinbly, right? ”
Sarren's eyes narrowed slightly: "Stein Brede...... The Syndicate's lair? ”
"Hmph~" Anastria sneered playfully: "That imp of Terenus still wants to copy Soladin's great deeds, and his wrist and strength are far worse than Soladin's. ”
"I heard from Kael'thas that the Syndicate recently took advantage of the chaos to attack the ruins of Fort Riptide?"
Sarjan: "Yes, thanks to Togarin Tolbain, Fort Riptide has been breached for the first time by an alien race. ”
Garin...... Hehe. ”
Anastria didn't even bother to comment on the straw bale king and directly changed the subject.
"I suspect that the Syndicate must have found some clues in the place of Arassol's origins, so they made an expedition to Fort Riptide to try to find out the secrets that Soladin was buried."
Sarren's Tong Kong Meng shrank: "Your Majesty, what do you mean ......"
Anastria shook her head: "Don't get me wrong, I don't know what the secret is, but I just know that there is such a concept, which Soladin vaguely mentioned when he talked to me face-to-face, maybe he wants me to help take care of his descendants." ”
"Soladin's Secret......"
Saljan's face showed all the thoughts: 'Looks like we'll have to make a run sometime.' ’
