Menethil's Power

Chapter 242 Royal Brothers
Above the vast snow-capped mountains, a pitch-black crow flew over.

This may be the most widely distributed bird in Azeroth, but it should not appear in Alterac anyway, their feathers are not cold-resistant, and no corvus bird has the ability to fly over snow-capped mountains. Flying altitude - obviously this black bird is not ordinary.

It flew over the snow-capped mountains, then flew over a vast plain and a huge lake, and came to the sky above a noisy and prosperous human city. It hovered for a while, as if hesitating about this place, and then seemed to have a clear direction suddenly. , very decisively flew to the north.

Right below the crow's hovering position is exactly the core of the entire Lordaeron - the royal palace. The passing of the crow did not affect anything. Blackbird, on the contrary, was a galloping horse that brought quite a commotion.With a tall body and thunderous hooves, this is obviously a Silver Hand horse that has been infused with the power of the Holy Light. It is simply a rampaging tank at high speed.

The patrolling royal guards consciously got out of the way without any thought of blocking them. They knew very well who would be able to ride horses inside the palace.The horse galloped all the way until it approached the royal stables before gradually slowing down. The knight on the horse jumped off in a beautiful posture before the horse stopped completely, extremely neat and unrestrained.He was a sturdy young man with a hard face and wheaten blond hair disheveled with sweat.

There was already a royal guard in military uniform waiting here, he quickly grabbed the reins of the somewhat frightened Silver Hand horse, "Your riding skills are superb again, Your Highness, but next time you'd better not forget your Personal guards, I think they must have had a hard time chasing after them." The officer said.

"Don't worry, Farric, I've sent them back to rest in advance, after all, it's obviously impossible for me to encounter danger in the palace that requires them to fight." Prince Arthas Menethil smiled at his loyal The guard captain said.

Farric had held this position for almost ten years, and to Alsace he was a friend and an elder.

"By the way, where is Isaacs?" Alsace asked again. In the past, every time he came back from the academy, Isaacs would greet him and care about various details of life. He would even ask questions such as "Did you fall to your death?", "Have you ever done something you should or shouldn't do with a girl?", but today Alsace didn't see his brother.

"His Royal Highness is in the Sacred Heart Chapel. He asked you to go see him when you come back."

"Understood." Alsace nodded, "See you later, Farric." He turned to look at a horse with a beautiful silver-white fur in the stable, "Hi, Liangyin, it seems that you have passed It's very comfortable, after all, there is very little work to do with that house girl, Kalia, right?"

He still remembered the pony that Kalia coerced and lured into him.As for the "house girl", Isaacs made fun of Kalia, because as she got older, Her Royal Highness became more and more quiet, and she didn't have the willful and savage look when she was a child.Alsace felt that this peculiar vocabulary was very suitable for the current imperial lady, so he followed suit.

The distance from the Sacred Heart Chapel is not far. You can see the Holy Sword Altar through the eastern garden, and the Sacred Heart Chapel is behind the altar.These two buildings are newly built, and the decorations are very luxurious, which is very different from the simple style of the royal family of Menethil. However, Terenas, who has always been conservative, has no meaning for this, and even quite I am dissatisfied, thinking that the luxury of these two buildings is not enough to represent the national strength of Lordaeron.

, there is no other reason, after all, the identity of the first emperor of mankind is enough to match any degree of luxury.

Thinking of Terenas' expression four years ago when he learned that his precious eldest son found the Emperor's Sword with a few casual fiddles, Arthas had to suppress his smile.Isaacs said that the reason why the old king would "warmly entertain" Thoradin's soul must be because of anger. After all, Lordaeron was also one of the lands that Thoradin conquered 3000 years ago. Terenas obviously has a kind of The idea of ​​earning some face for the ancestors.Alsace fully agrees with this.

Arthas stared at the dark golden giant sword hanging in the middle of the altar, and suddenly felt emotional. Stromkar, which has always existed only in historical legends, was not used on the battlefield after being excavated, but was directly used as a totem. After confessing, there is a feeling of being cast in the dark.

"Any other race, even an orc, can directly use Stromkar as a general legendary weapon, but we humans can't. The political significance of this sword is really great, even far exceeding the value of its artifact itself." Isaacs It is explained like this, "As princes, we had better not touch it, and my father is not a warrior, not to mention that it is not the time for Lordaeron to unify the kingdoms now and in the future, so this sword is currently The best location is the altar."

Arthas didn't quite understand this, and it was true that the two brothers should not try to become the new master of Stromkar when Terenas was still in power, but his political courses at the Royal Military Academy were good. They all got excellent grades. You must know that those professors think that Lordaeron deposed the Alterac royal family, the Perenold family, and used the Crowley family to forcibly split the Gilnean family. Annexation frenzy, this point in time is very likely to be when the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, but according to Isaacs himself, he seems to want to be a pacifist?
Alsace suddenly didn't understand his brother's true thoughts, but he didn't have any other special thoughts. He was still very convinced by Isaacs who often did amazing things.

Alsace bypassed the Holy Sword Altar and walked into the Sacred Heart Chapel. This religious building in name is actually the residence of Thoradin's soul. Terenas announced the right to obtain Stromkar immediately The news, however, concealed the fact that Emperor Thoradin's heroic soul was still there. This news was listed as a top secret of the state, and only a few high-level people knew about it.

As soon as Alsace stepped into the chapel, he saw a scene that had nothing to do with sacredness and solemnity. In the center of the chapel was a huge hearthstone card table. Standing beside the card table was a tall young man about 20 years old. Isaacs, and the leader of the card table is an old man who seems to be made of golden transparent material. Obviously this is Emperor Thoradin, but at this time Thoradin does not have the demeanor that an emperor should have. He was lying on the hearthstone table in a very unrecognizable manner, staring at the few creature cards.

Opposite Thoradin is a phantom of a goblin shredder, which is a virtual image simulated by a Hearthstone card box. The goblin in the shredder is shouting, "Your advanced weapons will never beat my low IQ, oh no ! It’s the other way around!”

Arthas was still very cautious when he saw the soul of Thoradin for the first time. After all, it was the first time he saw a living historical figure. However, this awe quickly dissipated, because Thoradin seemed to enjoy the pension provided by Isaacs very much. Life, in addition to reading a lot of books in the Royal Library to understand the 3000-year history, he showed great interest in Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone developed by Blizzard introduced by Isaacs, and even indulged in them.

This made Alsace feel a little more cordial towards the heroic spirit of the emperor. It turns out that even the emperor likes to play games.

Thoradin was clearly stumped by Adventure Mode, a Hearthstone style of play that pits the player against a programmed artificial intelligence.Although Isaacs sold the property rights of Hearthstone in order to get out of Dalaran, those mage masters in Dalaran obviously knew nothing about how to operate and update a game, and had to come back after screwing up several versions Developers for help.There is no reason not to slaughter the fat sheep that came to the door, so Isaacs obtained one-third of the income rights as an idea provider-you only need to move your mouth, and it is a good deal with huge profits.

So Hearthstone has a new puzzle mode, and Thoradin is obviously stuck in one of the levels.

"The enemy's attack is very powerful, so you have to replenish your health, but your follower soul priest will convert healing into damage, you have to deal with her first, so..." Isaacs deliberately elongated the emphasis.

Thoradin suddenly raised a palm, "Stop pretending, kid, I don't need your reminder."

Isaacs sighed, "I must remind you, Your Majesty, the fastest record in this level is Paltress, who only took 30 seconds. She is only 17 years old this year."

Emperor Thoradin's face visibly twitched, but Isaacs didn't seem to notice it. He gestured to Alsace, who also had a strange expression, to speak next to him.

The two brothers walked out of the chapel, and Isaacs carefully looked at this face that was somewhat similar to his own. Four years only made the precocious Isaacs a little taller, but it turned Alsace upside down. The change, from a teenager to a young man.

He has grown up and is already a paladin.

He will not pin his emotions on a horse because of the lack of friends; nor will he suppress his nature because he has been educated by the old-fashioned paladins; the burden of the kingdom is resisted by his elder brother; He is immune to any hidden psychic magic.

All signs indicate that he is farther and farther away from the image of the dark prince in the original history. He has many friends, and he gets along well with the elders. Although he is not the best among the younger generation, he is already a member of the academy. The leader of the largest society is not just because of his status. Alsace's own efforts are obvious to all.

"Back? How did the school trip to Dalaran feel?" Isaacs asked with a smile.

Alsace leaned on the round stone pillar behind him in a very comfortable posture, "It is undoubtedly a great city, how on earth did you get those conservative and stubborn mages to agree to let us visit? But then again, if If every major city in Lordaeron is like Dalaran, then we can definitely unify the whole of Azeroth."

Isaacs shrugged his shoulders, "I hope so too, but for now, Dalaran is the only one. After all, it brings together the top magic of humans and high elves. This is also the last time for you to go there before graduation. The reason for the school trip."

"Speaking of graduation, by the way, Squall asked me to tell you that it's best to prepare. After all, even if you don't show up all year as a supervisor, you still have to give a speech at the graduation ceremony."

The Royal Military Academy has a four-year schooling period, and soon the first batch of students will graduate. The huge investment in the establishment of the academy has finally ushered in a return.

Isaacs nodded. In fact, this news does not require Alsace to report.He brought the topic back to the little prince, "Have you seen Jaina this time? How are you going to deal with the problem between her and Bridget?"

Five years ago, Alsace showed a special affection for Jaina, but after entering the academy, he met Bridget Abedis who also made him feel a lot. It is obvious that the little prince should have already faced a choice Dilemma.

"I haven't seen her. It is said that she went out with her mentor a year ago." Alsace gave an unexpected answer.

Isaacs was a little surprised. He hadn't paid much attention to Jaina in the past few years. After all, she was just a little girl, so he didn't know that Jaina had left Dalaran until now, but her mentor Antonidas was not Have you always sat on the council of the Kirin Tor?How could Jaina follow him out?
He wanted to ask more about Jaina, but it was obvious that Arthas didn't want to talk about his personal relationship. He suddenly threw a golden coin, and Isaacs caught it subconsciously.

"For you. There is a wishing pool in Dalaran, and a dwarf next to it strongly recommended that I buy his magnetic fishing rod to remove the wishing coins in the pool. I think you should be very interested in the owner of this wishing coin .” This time, Alsace had an indescribable smile on his lips.

Isaacs stared at the gold coin in his hand. There was nothing unusual on the front, but a row of very small Salas characters were engraved on the back. It took a lot of effort for Isaacs to see it clearly, and he subconsciously read out The above content:

"I want to grow up and marry with my sisters. - Sylvanas Windrunner"

He immediately understood what Arthas' weird smile meant. Cylvanas's wish was too much room for imagination, although Isaacs repeatedly explained that he and the Windrunner sisters were only in Quel'Sala There was a brief contact between the two parties, and both parties were purely allies, but obviously everyone was more willing to believe that the young prince of Lordaeron had some special hidden secrets with the high elves.

"Why bring me this," Isaacs said angrily and amused.

"You can keep it, or return it to its original owner." Alsace blinked.

Return this coin to Sylvanas?Isaacs immediately shook his head.He flipped the wishing coin in his hand, "Did that dwarf still ask you to throw one in?"

"That's right, but I'm not stupid enough to write down my real wish."

"Smart boy." Isaacs threw the gold coin back to Alsace, "That dwarf is obviously doing a good business, selling his magnetic fishing rod with various celebrity wishing coins as a gimmick, and the pool There is no doubt that the wishing coins in the book should all be imitations."

"Of course I know that. I don't think these wishing coins that I can take away at will are genuine." Alsace shrugged.

"Although the wishing coin itself is an imitation, there is a high possibility that the wishing text engraved on it is real. If there is no accident, the next fisherman will catch the coin of Prince Alsace." Isaacs deduced Dalaran and Silvermoon City are closely related, so it is possible that Cirvanas has been to this magical human city, but she actually wrote such a wish full of love, presumably at that time she His age should be about the same as the current Vereesa.

In other words, I seem to have discovered a little secret of that proud elf?
