Menethil's Power

Chapter 105 Lordaeron's Night Is Quiet

"I don't understand your thoughts at all, Isaacs, you are simply serving as the lowest servant in Teresa." The eldest princess rolled her eyes at Isaacs pretty.Thanks to Terenas' good tutor, although Kalia sometimes showed a spoiled temper, she was never proud of her identity.

True nobility never lies on the surface.

Nearly three years have passed, and Kalia is like a slowly blooming flower, gradually blooming with amazing beauty.She inherited her mother's demure good looks and her father's blue-gray eyes, which are especially lovely when half-closed with a sly gleam.

She was wearing a delicate white dress with a slender waist, and her sized breasts were full of youthful juice.Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is undoubtedly the focus of the room at this time. Jaina, who is only a little girl, can't steal her limelight at all. The eyes of the teenagers always drift unconsciously to this dazzling girl, and then suddenly move away in fear. open.

Isaacs was noncommittal and didn't answer. He really wouldn't embarrass such a pitiful little girl, but considering the overall situation, he shouldn't show too much intimacy with Teresa.He didn't want to leave a good impression on Teresa, because Teresa would pass on this good impression to little Sal who was still living in the stable at this time.

And Thrall's favor is useless to Isaacs, what he wants to cultivate is a world Sa with independent consciousness, not a loyal orc dog.

At this time, Mrs. Greens, the head of the palace, came in, "Well, young lords, it's getting late, you should rest. Her Majesty the Queen has prepared some snacks in the reception room, and you can go there to enjoy."

This is Queen Leanne's usual way of seeing off guests. She has strict control over her children's schedule and never allows them to play too late.Therefore, none of the noble boys and girls raised any objections, and some of them even immediately expressed their expectation for the royal snacks.

So being an aristocrat is not an easy job. Watching words and deeds is only a basic requirement.

"I'm not going," said Isaacs.

Mrs. Greens nodded, she knew that this precocious prince had the right to act alone.

"I'll bring you two butter muffins." Alsace whispered.

For his brother's concern, Isaacs' face twitched, but he still expressed his gratitude.Although he asked the kitchen to send some desserts from time to time, so that the entire court had the impression that the eldest prince prefers sweets, but in fact most of these desserts were fed to Valeera, and the rest were used as casual rewards for Teresa.

After everyone left, Isaacs activated the hidden door on one side, walked through a somewhat narrow corridor, and walked to the end room.

His temperament changed rapidly, from a gentle and harmless young prince to the leader of a faction.

With the acquiescence of Terenas, this force is a "princeling" composed of Blizzard Company, some noble children of Wangcheng, and some paladins in the Silver Hand Knights.

Three years have passed, and this period of time may be just a snap of the fingers for the long-lived high elves, but it is enough to bring about a huge change in the human situation.

The Second Orc War ended with the victory of the Alliance. The Allied forces closed the Dark Portal, drove the Orcs back to Draenor, and established a watchfort in the cursed land to monitor this space portal that may be opened again at any time.

The failure of the Horde also means that the Alliance no longer has the meaning of existence. This military integration cooperation organization has become a joke in just a few months.The high elves returned to Quel'Thalas with no intention of maintaining contact with any nation.The nations of mankind, on the other hand, have fallen into endless disputes because of their interests.

The root of this dispute is Alterac. Compared with the nominal victory of the war, this rebellious mountain country is the real cake.Stromgarde strongly demanded to obtain the eastern territory bordering Alterac and Stromgarde, but Lordaeron, which took advantage of the opportunity to essentially occupy most of Orrrank's territory, did not respond.

Even Gilneas, which is separated from Alterac by an entire Hillsbrad, is unwilling to be left out. Genn Greymane intends to support a distant relative of the original Alterac king Aiden to inherit the throne, and issued a " Maintain the autonomy and independence of Alterac", although the so-called Alterac royal cousin he pulled out was not even surnamed Perenolde before.

It is very realistic that the relationship between countries has always been determined only by interests.

Isaacs is not surprised by this. If mankind can really maintain the unity of the whole family for a long time, and unite with the outside world, it will not be divided into seven countries.

In the second year after the war, Varian Wrynn returned to the devastated homeland with the remnants of Stormwind City. In order to raise funds for the reconstruction of Stormwind City, Archbishop Alonsus Faol, they invited Faol O's disciple Benedictus came to serve as the new Patriarch of the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City.

Although Benedictus was not well-known before, he had a good reputation within the church, and as a disciple of the Archbishop, his cultivation of the Holy Light was also guaranteed, so it was reasonable for Stormwind City to invite him.Although Isaacs knew that Benedictus would become the Godfather of Twilight to serve the Old Gods in the future, but now even the Church of Twilight has just been born, he can't use what is about to happen to convict people, so he didn't speak out .

As for Stormwind City itself, it can’t really be reborn from the ashes. Although it suffered from the destruction of the country, most of the people who died in the battle were loyal and brave men who served the country with death. There was no loss of personnel, so the aristocratic class in Stormwind City has not changed much. They still firmly control the upper echelons of Stormwind City, and the new king Varian will be completely unable to compete with them for a long period of time in the future.

This also laid the bane for the subsequent turmoil in Stormwind City.

Fortunately, compared with the original timeline, Stormwind City still retains its pillars.Due to Isaacs' prearrangement and Jill Loren's sacrifice, Anduin Lothar was only seriously injured. After receiving the most advanced treatment in the alliance, the Stormwind Lion tenaciously came back to life.

With his protection, presumably Varian will not be so difficult, and the difficulty of the little black female dragon who is about to infiltrate Stormwind City will increase by several levels.

Then came the opening of the Dark Portal again, and a group of orcs ran out again and launched a near-suicidal attack, led by an orc warrior with a huge battle ax and a particularly loud voice.

At the same time, Talon Gorefiend led the death knights to seize a series of artifacts in Azeroth, including the Eye of Violet, the Book of Medivh and the Scepter of Sargeras, but unfortunately he did not find Gul'dan Reid is completely missing.

Next, the Allied forces crossed the Dark Portal and went on an expedition to Draenor.

After much thought, Isaacs finally decided not to participate in this expedition. Compared with Azeroth, Draenor's risk factor is much higher. After all, it is a world that is collapsing, and it may even be necessary to contact the Burning Legion directly. Just positive.

The fundamental purpose of this expedition, in the words of Turalyon, who was once again clearly inspired by Naaru, was "to prevent the Horde from invading other worlds."Essentially peacekeeping.Isaacs has no interest in following him to contact those jigsaw puzzles of the Holy Light. He has two Atama crystals on him, and he has no intention of returning them to their original owners.

Essentially speaking, according to the inertia of history, since Turalyon and Khadgar existed, there shouldn't be any changes in the outcome of this expedition.Although Alleria, who had to protect the family, withdrew from the war after the battle of Quel'Thalas due to Isaacs' reasons, the most direct impact was that Turalyon had to solve his physical problems by himself.

What really made Isaacs hesitate was Ner'zhul. This former mentor of Gul'dan was as powerful as his apprentice. According to the development of history, he would send himself to the leader of the Burning Legion after a suffocation operation In front of Kil'jaeden, after the body was ruthlessly torn apart, even the soul was used by Kil'jaeden's waste, and sent to the North Pole of Azeroth to plan to weaken Azeroth's vitality.

This is the original Lich King, the source of the fall of Lordaeron and the fall of Arthas.

But this is still not enough for Isaacs to take the risk to participate in this expedition that is likely to have no return. After careful analysis, he believes that although Ner'zhul is notorious, he is not irreplaceable.

After all, it is the Nathrezim who are really plotting against Azeroth in the dark. The so-called Lich King is just a target set up by these dread demon kings to attract hatred and firepower. There will be Kaozu, Taozu, Wu Yanzu...

And even if you really want to eliminate the Scourge at the root, going to Northrend to sit on the sidelines is the right choice, and the safety is much higher than going to Draenor.

Sure enough, a few months later came the news that the Dark Portal was closed again, and there was no major change in history. Turalyon, Khadgar, Danas Trollbane, and Kurdran Wildhammer Forced to bid farewell to their world, they stayed in that collapsing world, and only returned to their hometown after more than ten years.

Isaacs withdrew his thoughts and walked slowly into the room. Inside the room, a young red-haired mage was waiting for him.Compared with the reckless young mage a few years ago, Ronin appeared more calm and capable. He benefited a lot from his many war experiences and learning from Khadgar. Prepare to be promoted to a heroic mage.

This is enough to show Ronin's talent, and Isaacs has no idea why Dalaran would let such a talented mage let himself go.

Squall has returned to Dalaran to preside over Blizzard, so Ronin has also taken over the position of Isaacs' personal magic consultant as planned.At this time, his face was very solemn, "The latest news from Dalaran, the company is facing fourteen accusations of technology plagiarism again, and the council requires us to suspend business immediately for investigation."

Isaacs couldn't help sighing, this is a real world, and human beings have always only maintained superficial goodness.The mages give the world the impression that they are immersed in magic and don't care about mundane things, but the benefits of mundane things are not enough to make mages tempted, and Blizzard's almost exclusive huge profits are obviously affected by some people in Dalaran. Some high-level coveted.

These allegations are irrefutable. Due to financial constraints, Isaacs hired mid-to-low-level mages with no future in the early days of Blizzard. Naturally, these mages did not have independent research and development capabilities, so they borrowed a lot to create Isaacs. desired product.These nonsense were previously carried out by the great artifact master Nolan, but although the great artifact master has a special status, he still has no access to the core rights of Dalaran.

This means that at least one member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six, the supreme ruler of Dalaran, has taken action against Blizzard.

As the most powerful organization in the Eastern Kingdoms, after the fall of the last guardian, Medivh, the Kirin Tor Council of Six assumed the responsibility of protecting Azeroth.The congressman had obviously been fascinated by Blizzard's huge profits for a long time, but he had been unable to do so because the council had been closely monitoring a huge threat-Deathwing.

This black dragon has disappeared for a long time since the war of the ancients, but it has suddenly become active recently, so it has attracted the attention of the Kirin Tor council. to fight, as they must maintain sufficient standing forces to meet the threat of Deathwing.

Finally, when Deathwing showed up to help the Horde obtain the artifact, the Council stepped in.Headed by Archmage Antonidas, the council members worked together to shoot down Deathwing over the endless sea. Without finding any corpses, they naively thought that they had solved this huge problem.

They celebrated with satisfaction, and then turned their attention to the places they were interested in, so those who did research continued to do research, and those who robbed money continued to rob money.

This made Isaacs feel quite depressed, not only because of the stupidity and irresponsibility of the Critor Council, but more importantly, as a traverser, he clearly knew that Deathwing was at the moment. King City of Lordaeron.

Lord Dana Prestor managed to "escape" from Alterac and was accepted by Terenas.

Fortunately, Deathwing didn't come here to cause damage this time. The dragon king who has lived for tens of thousands of years is currently addicted to role-playing games, dealing with various noble groups in the royal city, and has received unprecedented welcome. Not ready to do anything yet.

The top priority is how to preserve Blizzard, after all, this is a large part of his net worth.

Isaacs rubbed his temples. If his estimate was correct, the one-third of the shares he handed over to win over the Great Artifact Master must have been wiped out by now.Blizzard's current large and small shareholders may exceed double digits.

At present, the best option is to evacuate Dalaran. The company no longer needs the talents and technical environment provided by Dalaran.But where should it be moved?Empire?Don't be ridiculous, the research and development of holy energy weapons and magic mechs are at a critical moment, how could Isaacs keep such key secrets under Deathwing's nose.

He walked back and forth a few steps, turned to Luo Ning and said, "Let Squall release the news that Blizzard is willing to transfer the patent rights of the Hearthstone card box in exchange for scattered shares."

This is a very cost-effective deal for both Isaacs and the person who took over Blizzard. The "Heroes of the Storm" simulation battle system has just been developed, and most of Blizzard's current revenue comes from Hearthstone card boxes.

For Isaacs, whether it is Hearthstone or Storm, they are just a means of collecting wealth in the early stage. Blizzard's real goal is to transform into the magic military industry, so it is very important to ensure the integrity of the equity.

Isaacs knocked on the table subconsciously again, "Help me contact Prince Derek of Kul Tiras and ask if there is a suitable island for sale in his sea area." He said to Rhonin again.

Ronin nodded, expressing his understanding.

It was late at night, and it was pitch black outside the window.
