Menethil's Power

Chapter 4 The Refugee

A devout believer of the Holy Light, Terenas' right-hand man, Lord Uther of the Kingdom, visited half of the palace, and personally asked the guards at the gate, and finally confirmed: those two little bastards skipped class again, this time Abducted Princess Kalia.

Jazz felt a slight pain in his head. Terenas was busy with affairs and gave Uther full responsibility for the education of the two princes. However, according to the philosophy of the church, Isaacs, who is also a servant of the Holy Light, should be close to him. Such as the relationship between brothers, so it is difficult for Uther to treat him with a dignified attitude.In this aspect, a certain person is not the image of a good baby that he has always maintained at all, he is very able to say some unreasonable reasons to defend his laziness, and even Alsace is quite confident.Even with Uther's decades of self-cultivation, he wanted to catch these two cubs more than once and give them a severe whip.

"Sir Uther!" A guard ran towards him, whom Uther knew as Farric, a valiant warrior. "We caught a fisherman trying to break into the palace, and he said he had important news," Farric reported.

Uther doesn't feel that this should be taken lightly when a rash civilian brings important news. "Fishermen," he frowned, "there's no fishing on Lake Lordamere at this time of year."

"He said he was from Southshore and had a letter from Southshore Mayor Marcus Redpath," Farrick said.

"Take me to see him, soldier." Uther said, Nanhai Town is not too close to Wangcheng, and the mayor of the town, Redpath, sent someone to send the news directly, which made Jazz have a bad feeling. The matter of His Highness skipping class can only be temporarily put aside, as the Hand of the King, his responsibility is much higher than this.

Isaacs glanced at Alsace who was riding on the old horse with his head drooping, and couldn't help but lamented the impermanence of the world again.Invincibility should have been the fetters of Alsace's life.In normal history, Invincible would accidentally break its front leg a few years later, so Alsace had to end its life by himself, and this became his first knot.Alsace has never forgotten his loyal partner, even if he committed the crime of killing his father and destroying the country by incarnating as a death knight, he still did not forget to resurrect Invincible.For Alsace, invincibility is far more than just a mount, but also a partner, the only partner who will never leave him from the beginning to the end.

But now everything is illusory, even the title of invincible is gone.The eldest princess only thought for a second before naming the pony "Bright Silver", and asked Jorom to send him to the palace stable after Bright Silver was weaned so that she could play with it at any time.Bright Mane began to lick her child, and soon separated the mother and child without realizing it.

Alsace watched this scene with a broken heart. Even Mr. Barnir said that he would give him another horse, which did not make him feel any better. This state lasted until they returned to the palace.Isaacs decided to try to comfort him, "Don't be sad, little one, it's just a horse. If you want, the whole ranch can be yours."

Arthas didn't respond.

"How about I help you buy sixty packs of new Kobold cards? You know I have a special channel, and I guarantee you can beat all Lordaeron invincibles."

Alsace's eyes began to shine, he looked up at Isaacs, and said coldly, "120 packs."

"Yes." Isaacs agreed very readily, because whether it is 120 packs or 12 packs is a matter of one sentence.Few people know that the boss of Dalaran's popular Arcane Workshop is a [-]-year-old boy.Four years ago, after Isaacs made the first Hearthstone card box with the former court mage Squall Blake, he applied for a sum of funds from Terenas, and then sent Squall to Dalaran to recruit a group A mage with low strength but capable of black technology established the "Blizzard" arcane workshop in Dalaran.

The first product, the Hearthstone card box, quickly became popular among human nobles. Many nobles could not become superhumans due to their natural talents, but they could experience the thrill of casting spells and wielding weapons in Hearthstone.Then, taking advantage of the reputation accumulated by Hearthstone, Ao Neng Workshop quickly launched the second sensational product-portable small space package.Compared with traditional space containers, small space packages are easy to make, easy to carry, easy to maintain, and have a larger storage space. More importantly, the price of fifteen gold coins is affordable by ordinary middle-class families.

In just two years, Blizzard's headquarters and R&D department moved into Violet Castle.At present, Blizzard's main development direction is "Multiplayer Virtual Team Competitive Confrontation", that is, the "Heroes of the Storm" project. It is believed that after completion, it will definitely cause an earthquake in Azeroth's entertainment industry.

The three returned to the palace, and met Sir Uther in full armor. "It's time for you to come back," Uther's voice was as firm and deep as ever, "We just received news that Stormwind City has fallen, and Anduin Lothar, the protector of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and Prince Varian Uther Ryan has brought tens of thousands of refugees to Southsea Town."

Arthas and Kalia looked surprised. Before that, wars only existed in history books for them.Isaacs gasped, knowing that the second battle between humans and beasts was about to begin.

"Now the kingdom has entered martial law, because it is uncertain whether the force that overthrew Stormwind City is following the refugees." Uther continued, "It is best for you not to go out casually during this time, especially you, Alsace, Now is not the time for princes to play with country folk."

Uther left in a hurry, Alsace curled his lips, and said in a very exaggerated tone: "It's not when I was playing with the country people, it seems that I went to Barnir's house alone."

"Don't pay attention to this," Kalia said, "Uther didn't say much, I think we should find someone else to ask the exact situation." After a while, the three found the captain of the guard, Farik. "The situation is very bad," Farric said. "Stormwind City was almost bloodbathed, King Rhine died in battle, and the remaining living people are basically in South Sea Town."

"Who did it?" Kalia asked eagerly.

"I don't know, I didn't mention this in the news I received. In my opinion, it shouldn't be the invasion of other human countries," Farric thought for a moment and said, "It's more like trolls or jackals, but they It is impossible to have the strength to break through Stormwind City." Isaacs couldn't help but lament the veteran's precise intuition, and he really deserved to be appointed as Alsace's adjutant later.

Arthas focused on other things, "The Rhine King is dead?" The little prince was shocked, "Then Prince Varian..."

"Yes, he is His Majesty King Varian now." Isaacs said calmly.

Arthas felt a tightness in his chest. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose his family, kingdom, and people overnight. He looked at his brother and sister, and suddenly felt that Kalia was not so hateful.

"Anduin Lothar and Prince Varian are coming," Falric said finally. "You'll see them soon."
.
Two days later, Silverpine Forest.

Looking at the city across the lake, Anduin Lothar uttered a voice of praise from his heart. His hometown, Stormwind City, is a tall and majestic city. It is as bright as a mirror and is not afraid of the sea wind.And the capital in front of her has her own style, which is equally lovable.

She is not as tall as Stormwind City, but she has an elegant temperament.She is located on the northern shore of Lake Lordamere, against the silver-white lake.It is not as dazzling as Stormwind City, but it can make the sun seem to emanate from the city, quiet, peaceful, and sacred. "

"This is a great kingdom," Khadgar said beside him, the cold wind ruffling his beard. "However, if you want to ask my opinion, it would be better if the climate can be warmer." He turned his eyes to the distance, and on the south bank of the lake, another city stood.Her lines were as graceful as the capital, but her towering spires shone with a gentle violet light. "That's Dalaran," he explained. "The old den of the wizards of the Kirin Tor. Where I lived for 18 years."

They walked for half a day, and finally saw the gate of Wangcheng.The guards in red war robes saluted after asking their identities, "His Majesty is in the throne room," he said, "Welcome to Lordaeron."

Lothar felt a little uncomfortable. The kingdom had been peaceful for too long, and the guards at the city gate had almost no sense of vigilance.They entered the royal city, and under the leadership of Khadgar, they arrived at the palace with almost no detours. Surprisingly, the gate of the palace was opened, although the royal guards still kept strict checks.Terenas allowed the representatives of the citizens to enter the palace to discuss matters every once in a while, so as to listen to their appeals in person. This time was the most nervous moment for the royal guards. They patiently dealt with the inspection, and then followed a guard to the throne room .

The gate of the Throne Hall is still wide open, this is a majestic hall, it has this high vault, the sun shines through the glass in the middle of the vault, lighting up the golden Lordaeron symbol on the ground.Lothar saw the tall figure on the throne at a glance. He had a gray beard and blue-green eyes full of wisdom, and a handsome blond boy with a smile stood beside him. "I don't know which Highness it is." Lothar thought to himself.

At this time, there were quite a few people in the throne room. From farmers to laborers to nobles, all of them kept a suitable distance from each other and faced the throne. They were carrying various items, from small pieces of parchment to various foods.But after Lothar and Khadgar approached, they separated automatically and quietly retreated to the two sides.

"I salute you, Your Majesty Terenas," Lothar gave a knight's salute, and his thick voice spread throughout the hall effortlessly, "I am Anduin Lothar, the knight of Stormwind City. This It's my companion Khadgar, the Dalaran mage. And this," he paused, "is His Highness Prince Varian Wrynn, Heir to Stormwind."

There was an uproar in the throne room.
