Volume 2: Travel Notes on the Eastern Kingdom Chapter 397: Enemies meet on a narrow road (10)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This morning in Dalaran was particularly peaceful.

    Shops selling various magic materials and experimental supplies are no longer busy with traffic in the past; the explosions and collisions that come from time to time in the mage towers of the great mages also rarely stop; even the usual gathering of technical geeks  The local library is deserted today.

    And this weird atmosphere that is very different from usual comes from the Stormwind City envoys who entered the city under the protection of the group of Stormwind Royal Knights a few days ago

    The war in Hillsbrad Foothills is intensifying, and the Horde and Alliance are at war with each other.

    It is said without humility that as the two most terrifying war machines in Azeroth in this era, any slight disturbance between the Alliance and the Horde may affect the pattern of the entire world.  And when the two finally turn from confrontation to war, it will inevitably become the most eye-catching "front page headline" of this era.

    What's more, this sudden war was caused by the kidnapping of a king and the disappearance of two camp leaders, especially one of whom was "one of our own" from Dalaran - one of the best female mages in the past century.

    But now - at this tense moment - the Kingdom of Stormwind, one of the parties involved, has sent a well-organized envoy to Dalaran, which has always maintained neutrality. The meaning here is intriguing.  …

    Mages are all smart people.

    Because those who are not smart enough have fallen into all kinds of difficult trials, unpreventable accidents, and even all kinds of bizarre magic experiments before they took off their hats as mage apprentices.

    "As long as someone is willing to tie all these together, it will not be difficult to guess Stormwind City's plan.  And if the mages in Dalaran still can't understand, it is simply an insult to the mage profession.

    The ancient bronze bell on the bell tower of Violet Castle has been ringing.  The latest bill will be released soon.

    Hundreds of people gathered silently on the square decorated with fragrant flowers.  These secretive spellcasters in the past nodded to each other.  There was no exchange of words in front of the statue of Antonidas that stood in silence.  In the entire square, apart from the sound of the morning breeze blowing through the dead leaves and the rustling of the magic broom, there was only the sound of rapid or heavy breathing.

    Everyone is staring at the high platform in front of the bell tower, quietly waiting for the final decision of the Violet Castle.

    ————————————

    Although Dalaran is one of the seven human kingdoms, it is essentially a loose collection of mages - there is no king, no lords, and no bureaucracy. The territory is not extensive, and the subjects are even rarer.

    In addition to the organic casters, the only people left inside and outside the huge city of Dalaran are traders and farmers who provide the various materials and resources that the mages need daily, as well as a small but elite group of city guards and  Followers of your own mages.  Taken together, the total number is only over 10,000 people.

    Coupled with the concept that mages have always valued knowledge and power more than rights and status, this arcane city has developed a loose and free atmosphere in its long history.  In this unique city, the disputes and disagreements between various magical schools are far more important and frequent than the competition for earthly power.  Even the duels in the Dalaran Arena are mostly caused by the conflict of magical concepts and the competition for research funds rather than the sordid discord of power

    All of this makes this collective more like a college or a research organization, rather than a conventional feudal kingdom.

    But this does not mean that the country is disorderly and disorganized.

    This unique yet powerful arcane city has its own unique rules and leaders.

    Since the day this city became a haven for mages and a center for arcane research, mages have used their art and power to make Dalaran beautiful and majestic.  And a group responsible for drawing out the outline and handling differences leads this arcane city to cut through waves, prevent crises, and create honor with the recommendation of many mages.

    The Kirin Tor Council!

    An Arbitration Council that was born the moment Dalaran stood on the top of the mountain, the de facto leadership group of the City of Arcane.

    The Kirin Tor Council, composed of six of the most respected and trusted magisters, has always used meetings to discuss major decisions and vote on certain matters.  Every member of the Council is an outstanding person with amazing knowledge and far-reaching vision, so even a great person like Antonidas.  During his lifetime, he never had absolute control over the parliament. Instead, every issue was decided by a majority vote within the parliament.

    In the past thousands of years of history.  The members of this group use their knowledge and strength far beyond their colleagues to decide thisThe direction of the country's progress leads the spellcasters in this city to protect it and its residents, whether the resident is a superior spellcaster or a weak but indispensable mortal.

    It is this leadership group and this leadership model that has allowed Dalaran to stand from ancient times to this day.  Even after experiencing such a terrible disaster as a natural disaster invasion, it can still rebuild from the ruins in a short period of time and gradually restore its former glory.

    And this time, regarding an issue that the people of Dalaran are tacitly aware of but always paying attention to, the six current members of the Kirin Tor Council finally reached a final resolution today after three days of stalemate and dispute

    ——————————————————

    The square in front of the Antonidas Monument became increasingly quiet, and the teleportation runes inscribed with mithril on the high platform of the clock tower behind the monument began to flash continuously, and in a moment, a light curtain flashing with blue arcane light appeared.  On top of the bell tower.

    In just the blink of an eye, five figures with different appearances and surrounded by magic power came out of the portal and appeared one by one in front of the many mages who were holding their breath.

    The atmosphere in the square was stagnant for a moment. The great mage Modra, who was dressed in purple robes and had frosty white hair, slowly stepped forward over his colleagues. After looking down at the many Dalaran people in the square who were waiting with their heads raised, he casually said:  He cast a spell and his voice was loud.

    As one of the best female mages since the founding of Dalaran, and also the longest-serving member of the six-member Kirin Tor Council in this realm, Modra will announce the final resolution of the council to the mages and residents of Dalaran today.  .

    "Colleagues, compatriots" Modra's spell-enhanced voice echoed throughout the square, "Three days ago, the Stormwind City envoy arrived in Dalaran and submitted an application"

    "Rebuild the Federation of Azeroth!"

    With a "boom", the female mage's voice was interrupted by the sudden noise, and a burst of uncontrollable discussions and exclamations broke out in the square.  Even though the mages had roughly predicted that Stormwind City would request an alliance during this trip, they never expected that the rulers of the Kingdom of Stormwind City would "play" this timeso big!

    The Federation of Azeroth!

    This alliance that was once established for thousands of years by the seven human kingdoms based on the covenant of mutual assistance has long existed in name only after experiencing a series of betrayals and suspicions among the seven nations in World War I and World War II. Even the mages of Dalaran  Nowadays, we can only recall the past majesty and glory of this alliance from the pile of old papers.

    But now this almost-forgotten name suddenly rings in the ears and is very likely to become a reality. Such a bombshell will inevitably surprise even the mages with their temperament.

    "Quiet!" He waved his hand and cast a large-scale silence spell to suppress the intensifying arguments and exclamations. The dark color on the face of senior councilor Modra became more solemn. "After three days of discussion and voting by members of the parliament on this bill,  In the end, with three votes in favor, two votes against, and one abstention the request of the Stormwind City Envoy and the resolution to rebuild the Azeroth Federation were passed!"

    Even though there was no noise in the square due to the suppression of group silence, judging from the blushing faces or frowning expressions of the gathered mages, one could tell how shocking and sudden this decision was.

    And the female mage’s announcement of the resolution is far from over.

    “Dalaran will cooperate with Stormwind City to declare war on the Horde during the reconstruction of the Azeroth Federation, and will send troops to Southsea Town within a week to provide necessary magic support for the Allied battlefield.

    "Members of the First and Third Mage Corps and the Kirin Tor Battle Mage Alliance can immediately stop all experiments, trials, and projects at hand, and return to the organization within one day to await orders!"

    "The Second Mage Regiment and the City Guards will be stationed at the Violet Castle until the end of the war, and the combat readiness level will be raised to orange from now on, and it will be implemented immediately!"

    "In addition, I and the council members have something to say about our fellow blood elves in the city"

    "Maybe you should close your mouth that only confuses right and wrong but can't even read spells, Modra!"

    With a cold snort, the only blood elf councilor among the five council members present raised his head forward, interrupted the female congressman's words unceremoniously, and sarcastically said without mercy: "If I remember correctly,  I am the representative of the blood elves in this city!"

    He is tall but a little thin, and his face is handsome but unruly; the golden phoenix pattern embroidered on the red robe shows the aristocratic status of the visitor in his race; and anyone who has any idea about the mage's coat of arms and rank  For those who know him well, it will not be difficult for him to identify his heroic flame-type weapon from the exquisite flame-like decoration on the collar of his robe.The identity of the teacher.

    Aethas*Sunreaper.

    After Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider went to the Outlands, the blood elf archmage who was appointed by His Highness to take over his seat on the six-member Kirin Tor Council was no less powerful than Prince Kael'thas' chief advisor Voreta.  Your strong man.

    "Don't push yourself too far, 'little girl' (Note 1)!" With an undisguised sneer on his lips, the blood elf strongman showed off his "venomous tongue talent" without any scruples: "I hope you are as slow as the ogre.  A stupid brain can understand that in this city even the council"

    "You are not qualified to dictate the internal affairs of the blood elves!"

    ——————————

    Note 1: Modra’s exact age is unknown, but as the oldest member of the Council and a peer of Antonidas, and with the white hair in the comics and games, she is definitely an elderly woman.  .  (To be continued)
