Chapter 646: Barov's Heritage
According to the barrage, the Frostwolf Clan lives in seclusion in the Alterac Valley.
However, the Backlight Blade thieves sent by Valilla have never found any trace of the Frostwolf Clan, and Sarjan wonders if they have gone elsewhere due to the butterfly effect.
"Let's put Sal's disposition aside for now."
Sarren hesitated for a moment before making a decision: "The top priority is to assist in the restoration of Alterac and divert Lordaeron's attention from the rear. β
"That's what Alex says now, at least until he repells the Lordaeron defenders and regains control of Alterac territory, it's unlikely that he'll take the initiative to provoke the wallgrass of Blackmore."
[Indeed, there are priorities, and now is not the best time to take Dunhold.] γ
"As for Sal......"
Sarian muttered: "Let him fend for himself first, if he is lucky enough to escape this fate, it will prove that this child of destiny should not be killed, and I will reconsider the follow-up measures against him." β
Regardless of the position, Saar's character is undoubtedly trustworthy.
Taught by the insidious and cruel Blackmore, Thrall did not lose the splendor of humanity.
Talesa Foxton, who is like a sister and mother, is the white moonlight of Sal's childhood, and it is precisely because of Talesha's kind guidance that Sal has not been influenced by Blackmore and still maintains a noble character in adulthood.
It's like the barrage quoting the famous quote that Tirio Ferding will say in the future.
"Race is not a sign of glory, I have seen the noblest orcs, and I have seen the most despicable humans, and people should not make rash judgments about existences different from themselves."
An ambitious villain like Blackmore is definitely going to be eliminated.
If Thrall survives the crisis of Dunhold's collapse, Sareen plans to take a moment to talk to him and see for himself whether this unusual orc can be trusted.
Retracting his misguided thoughts, Salian agreed to convey Alex's terms to Yonserton Pirenod.
"Blackmore's two-faced villain is indeed not trustworthy, Dumbhold Castle will be captured sooner or later, and Silverton should not embarrass you in this matter."
Alex nodded: "That's all I have for this, as long as His Royal Highness Etherton can agree, the Barov family is willing to continue to serve the Pirenod family as king." β
Although the Barov family is eligible to inherit the kingdom, their right to succession is relatively low.
As long as Oriden and Yonserton are alive, the Barovs will not be able to legitimately succeed to the throne of Alterac.
Of course, it would have been a different matter if Lordaeron had fulfilled his promise and forcibly put the Barov family on the throne.
After all, this world is still a big fist with a bigger voice than the right to speak, and at that time, Lordaeron was in full swing, and there were really few countries that dared to jump out and fight against them.
After receiving the promise of the Barov family and General Haas, Salian turned to Valera and Tina.
Tina Gossa immediately activated the teleportation spell and threw the paper that had been prepared to the other end of the teleportation hole.
Some of the elite thieves of Backlight Blade are now stationed in the barracks of Gilneis, and upon receiving orders from Sarean, they will immediately inform Lord Gofrey and Prince Yonserton of the expedition.
"The succession to the throne of Alterac has been settled, but now ......"
Salain returned his gaze to the map, landing on a col north of Dunhold Castle.
"It's time to talk to Duke Jorazi Ravenhod."
β¦β¦
For the next move, Salian intends to temporarily separate from Valeera.
It was up to him to go to Ravenhold Manor alone to convince the Duke of Ravenhold, and Valeera and Tina would stay with Steinbrad to mediate.
On top of that, Valera also needs to command the thieves of Backlight Blade to continue the search for Merry Winterwind's whereabouts, along with the secrets left behind by Soladin.
After some private discussion with Valera, Salian finally decided to tell Alex, the serpent, of the secret left behind by Soradin.
"Soladin the Great has left a secret in the place of origin of Arathso?!"
When he heard this, Alex Barov looked confused, and Haas also looked confused.
"No, wait......"
Perhaps thinking of something, Alex suddenly lowered his head with his chin in his hand and groaned.
"Could it be that the rumor left by the family is true?"
Saryan suddenly became interested: "What rumors?" β
"Hmmm......"
Alex hesitated, considering that Sarren was willing to share such an important secret, he finally decided to tell the rumor.
"This rumor is unknown even to the Pirenod family, and it is a secret that the Barov family has passed down for thousands of years...... Although I don't know if this secret is true or not. β
Alex said, "As you may have heard, Alterac was the first tribe to conquer after the founding of Soladin the Great. β
"Due to the revisions of the historians, the vast majority of later generations do not know that the AraΓ§o tribe did not originate in the Arathi Heights, but first rose in this land under our feet."
Saljan nodded: "His Majesty the former Sun King Anastria also said so, Steinbrad is the real starting point of Soladin the Great. β
Alex was involuntarily stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly.
"I almost forgot that His Majesty of Anastria had a great conversation with Emperor Soladin when he was young, no wonder you know this secret...... I really envy the long life of the High Elves. β
Salian spread his hands: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, you envy the longevity of the high elves, and we also envy the fertility rate of human beings." β
Speaking of which, Alex's mentality immediately balanced a lot.
"Haha, it's true, my family has three children, but the generation of the Sunchaser royal family can only pass on one line."
'Hehe~'
Salian sneered inwardly: 'None of your three children are fuel-efficient lamps. β
Alex and his wife Luxia have two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Alex, the second son Wilton, and the youngest daughter Jandis.
Before the war between Lordaeron and the Scourge began, Alex and Welton were unwilling to be with corpses like their parents, and they escaped from Barov Castle, which was then known as the Psychic Academy.
The two brothers later joined the Horde and the Coalition respectively, and both hired thugs to try to kill each other for the sake of the Barov family's property.
Instead of running away with her two older brothers, Alex's youngest daughter, Jandis, was groomed by the dark dean Gardin to become a professor of illusions at the Psychic Academy.
These are all things that happened in the original history, and in this timeline where Sarren is located, the overall situation may be completely different, but the personality of people is difficult to change.
Alex's youngest daughter Jandis aside, the brothers Alex and Wilton are likely to fight for the inheritance of the family property in the future.
"Ahem~ It's far away."
After the little Xuanwa, Alex changed the subject back.
"It is said that Emperor Soladin returned to Steinbrad in his later years, and he had already seen that the Arathor Empire might fall into chaos after his death, and he deliberately left something behind in the place where the empire originated."
Haas asked thoughtfully, "What is it?" It can't be related to the succession to the throne of the Araso Empire, right? β
Alex shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't mention it in the message, I just left an address in a riddle." β
"I've been to Steinbrad since I was younger, trying to solve the riddle, but I've never been able to find the mechanism to open the door mentioned in the riddle."
Alex shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe there are some special conditions, such as the bloodline of the descendants of Soladin?" Or a special item that resonates with energy. β
Sarren's expression moved slightly: "Mr. Alex, can you show us the location mentioned in the riddle?" β
Alex nodded: "Yes, I also want to know what the secret left by Soladin the Great is, but ......"
Pointing to the upper floor of the basement, Alex was a little helpless: "We are very closely monitored, and now is probably not the right time." β
Salian smiled and nodded, "Indeed, wait until the control of the syndicate changes hands." β
"One more thing."
Without bothering the two masters, Saryan continued to ask without hope: "I wonder if the Barov family has heard of the name Merry Winterwind?" β
"Merry...... Winter wind? It's Merry Evilwind, right? Alex raised an eyebrow, "You mean the lich with a not-so-brained mind?" β
"Huh?!"
Salaan and Valilla immediately sat up straight: "Do you know where he is?!" β
