Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 438 147. He has a pair of eyes very similar to yours

The incident of   Dalin's attack was not revealed under the secrecy of his loyal great knight and his comrades.

  Although after the king returned to Proudmoore Fortress in Boralus Harbor, Queen Catherine was keenly aware that her husband had something buried in his heart.

   But as a woman smart enough to be a queen, she did not choose to ask directly.

   She trusts her husband very much.

  If Daelin felt that this matter was not important and should not be let her know, then Queen Catherine would never try to explore it.

   Besides, compared to the king with iron will, the weak queen has yet to come out of the shadow of her son's death.

   She has been a little unhappy recently. She often goes to the family cemetery alone, and mourns in silence to the empty tomb and the tombstone engraved with her son's name.

   She did not blame her husband for not protecting her beloved son.

   It was a war.

   His own son set foot on the battlefield as a warrior, and for warriors, sudden death is an unavoidable occupational risk.

   However, although Dai Lin did not make a statement about it, she was assassinated after all, and there should be no shortage of inspections and pursuits.

  To be honest, assassination in the island country of Kul Tiras is a very hopeless thing. This country is surrounded by the sea, and if you want to leave, you can only take a boat or take a portal.

   But the former cannot escape the monitoring of the tide sages, and the latter.

   Do you know how much magic power would be created to open a portal in Kul Tiras to the Eastern Continent or elsewhere?

   As long as the casters of the Kul Tiras Admiralty are not dry eaters, it is impossible for such a teleportation to go undetected and intercepted.

   At the moment when the assassin appeared to assassinate, she had actually cut off all hope of leaving this island country, and she was not an assassin who was good at concealment, and there was no shadow to protect her.

   That is a magical warrior.

   Dai Lin, who is also a warrior, recognized her profession at a glance, so His Majesty the King was not worried that the assassin would escape.

  He handled state affairs as usual, talking to the nobles, and occasionally taking his young son Tan Reid to stay on his ship.

   He knew that it was only a matter of time before that elf assassin was caught.

   But what Dai Lin didn't expect was that on the third day after his assassination, the elf assassin actually came to the door.

   "Your Majesty, someone sent a letter."

  The loyal great knight Cyrus was wearing heavy armor. This burly Kul Tiran strode to Daelin, who was patrolling the Sea King.

   handed a letter in Sarasian to the king in the uniform of a naval commander.

  Daelin nodded and made a gesture, Cyrus immediately stepped aside.

  Beside the king, the little prince Tanrad Proudmoore in a small sailor suit supported the small dagger around his waist and looked curiously at the letter in his father's hand.

  The little prince widened his eyes and looked at the characters on it that he did not recognize at all. He asked:

   "Dad, what word is this?"

   "This is Thalassian, the word of the elves, my son. Legend has it that every character of it contains magic, and can even be used as a spell in the hands of powerful elven spellcasters."

  Daily sat on the stairs of her beloved ship without pretensions, and touched the golden hair of her youngest son, he explained patiently:

   "But to learn this language requires long-term study, it is too difficult for you now."

   "Will little Anna know that?"

   Tan Reid tilted his head and asked.

   He seems to be thinking about competing with his older sister, Jaina, a well-known genius girl.

   "Uh, she should be."

   The younger son's thoughts were not hidden from Dai Lin, but the king didn't want to hit his stupid son, so he could only say something vaguely. How could Jaina not speak Thalassian?

   The last time she hurriedly met her daughter in the cursed land, little Anna reported her studies to her father.

   Not only can she speak Thalassian, but she has even mastered Troll and Dragon.

   "Then I have to learn too!"

When    heard that Jaina might speak Thalassian, Tanred immediately crossed his arms and said to his father:

   "Dad, can you speak this language? Can you teach me?"

   "I will, of course I will teach you, my son."

  Dailyn laughed, hugged Tan Reid, and kissed his hair.

   In the past, an admiral who was as strong and heroic as the sea would definitely not treat his son so gently. He was a very classical father and believed that boys should be exposed to wind and rain.

   But after losing Drake, Dalene's style changed overnight.

   Even a person as strong as him can no longer bear the pain of losing another child.

  Drake's death was a lesson, and it taught Dalene a truth with a ruthless reality.

   As a father, he must be the thickest barrier for children before they grow up, protecting them from all malicious attacks.

   He will not allow any power in this world to hurt his only remaining relatives.

   That disaster also taught Dai Lin another thing, that you must cherish every moment with the children, you never know which disaster or tomorrow will come first.

   You can only try your best to leave no regrets when you leave unexpectedly.

pity

  Daily paid too much tuition for this lesson.

After comforting her younger son and making an appointment with Tan Reid to start learning Sarasian tonight, Dai Lin opened the letter and read with her skillful and superb level of reading and writing in Sarasian. this letter.

  The letter is not long.

   explained the "misunderstanding" for Dai Lin in very simple language.

  The elf assassin clearly wrote that he came from Suramar, that Suramar was invaded by pirates, and even his fiasco and humiliation that night.

   Thanks to the arc change of Sarasian writing, Dai Lin can taste the inner unwillingness and loss of the assassin through the curved marks of the characters.

   She also told Dai Lin that the vicious pirate used Dai Lin's name and led her to Kul Tiras, which was the reason for the Oolong assassination three days ago.

  This assassin must be an elf of noble birth.

   Admiral narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

   Her level of choice of words and sentences is extremely high even among elves, and from time to time there is an arrogance that fits the tone of an elves.

   This letter reminded Daelin of how many years ago when she was young, she received some love letters from Quel'Thalas.

   He shook his head and continued to read.

   After talking about the cause and effect, the assassin praised His Majesty the King's solid and amazing martial arts in a neat and neat tone of respect between warriors.

   said that if there is a chance, she is willing to fight with His Majesty the King again as a visitor and a scholar.

   also said that he would leave Kul Tiras, but he was already targeted by the tidesage.

   She was unwilling to use her strength in such a wrongly triggered battle, so she apologized to Dai Lin and asked for forgiveness so that she could take a merchant ship to the Eastern Continent.

   In this regard, His Majesty the King laughed twice.

  This assassin is really simple.

  Although it is a misunderstanding, after all, there is no evidence to say it, and besides, this is the assassination of a king! In human society, this is an unforgivable sin.

   Just a few words of apology want Dai Lin to let her go

  Tsk tsk, the arrogance of the elves is indeed engraved in their bones.

   He didn't intend to pay attention to it, and wanted the tide sage to lock the position of the assassin, and then go out on his own to satisfy her wish to fight once as a warrior.

  After his victory, Torgoda's black prison was the destination of the elf assassin for the rest of his life.

   Of course, if this assassin is indeed a potential fighter, and if things are as she said, then Dai Lin, who is also a fighter, can't let her go.

   Warriors, most of them are reckless, and it is not surprising that they make such a used assassination.

   But just when Dai Lin was about to make such a decision, the few words written at the end of the letter made the Admiral clench his fists violently. The words were written like this:

   "Although when I was assassinating, I immediately recognized that you were not that hateful pirate.

   But with all due respect, I don't think the pirate used your name just to provoke a dispute between the Nightborne and Kul Tiras.

   I think he should have something to do with you.

  Because, he has a pair of eyes that are almost identical to yours, sea blue, eyes like the sea. Also, he was wearing a battle armor, but his size was very similar to yours.

   If I hadn't inquired about the king of Kul Tiras on the way, I would even think he was you when you were young. "

   "Sellars!"

   After reading this sentence that made Dai Lin's heart skip a beat, the king almost stood up suddenly. As a legendary warrior, he couldn't even control his mood at this moment.

   He thought of a very surprising possibility.

   A surge of ecstasy came to his heart.

   But what followed was a terrifying preoccupation with gains and losses. He called for his most loyal great knight. Cyrus heard His Majesty's uncontrollable shouting and rushed over immediately.

   But she saw Dai Lin clenched her fists tightly, her mouth tightly closed, and her expression changed rapidly.

   Such a gaffe is rare for an admiral.

   After half a minute of silence and thinking, Dai Lin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. He glanced at Cyrus and said to the great knight:

   "I have a secret mission for you, you must do it yourself."

   "Your Majesty, please order me."

The    great knight accepted the quest without asking about the content of the quest. It seemed that even if Daelin asked him to die, he would fulfill it without hesitation.

   "You go to Ravenholdt's stronghold in the city and post a bounty in your name."

   Dai Lin stroked the seal of the king on his finger, and he whispered:

   "There is a nasty pirate who is doing things in the city of elves in my name.

   This is the truth of the assassination three days ago.

   This is a terrible provocation for the Kul Tiras and Proudmoores.

   Pay those assassins handsomely to serve me, I want to know the identity and information of that pirate, as well as his origins!

   The sooner the better! "

   "Just information? Your Majesty."

   Cyrus asked:

   "Would you like to issue an order to kill?"

   "Absolutely not!"

   Dai Lin blurted out.

   Then he coughed twice in embarrassment to hide his emotions. He held the sword hilt around his waist, and said in a deep voice as he always did:

   "This is not the first time that pirates have challenged our country with such sleazy means. Since pirates declared war on us, we must respond in person!

   Not under the guise of assassins, this is a matter of Kul Tiras' naval tradition.

   So, all you need is information.

  The rest, I will do it myself. Dare to act in my name, hehe, I hope that pirate is ready to bear all the consequences. "

   "As you order, Your Majesty."

  The Great Knight was not surprised by this answer.

   Although his majesty is a king, he often thinks in the way of a warrior, and only this kind of lofty ambition makes Dai Lin the most capable of fighting among human kings.

   "Also, revoke the Tide Sage's positional hunt for assassins."

   Dai Lin glanced at the letter in her hand and said to the Great Knight:

   "I'll write a reply in a while, you put it where you got the letter, and then, let her go. Since it's a misunderstanding, it's fine.

  Kul Tiras needs to recuperate after the war, and now it is not in our national interest to go to war with a group of elves who do not know their roots. "

—

Two hours later, Oruriel, the legendary magic swordsman of the Nightborne, disguised as an ordinary Lady Kul Tiras, was in a pigeon cage outside Boralus Harbor, near the Admiralty. Found Dalene's reply.

  She had already sensed that the tide sages had withdrawn the blockade of the coastline through her manipulation of magic, so she probably knew the king's response.

   This made the magic swordsman, who came to the human world for the first time, a little bit of goodwill and kindness towards the assassination target of Dai Lin.

   This human king is not bad.

   did not have the bad problems of the kings that were rumored.

   But as she opened the letter and saw the request in the letter, the "young" magic swordsman frowned.

   "Share all the information about the pirate with him and ask me to drop the pirate hunt? What does this mean? Is he going to take over the punishment for the offender himself?

   Hehe, he is indeed a warrior king, and his response to provocation is so straightforward.

   But unfortunately, I didn't plan to do that. "

   The magic swordsman waved his fingers and burned Daelin's reply to ashes.

   She glanced at the sea outside the harbour in front of her and said softly:

   "I must defeat him myself to end the fear he brings to me."

   "However, His Majesty Daelin's proficiency in the Salas language is really impressive. As a human, he actually knows how to use some ancient allusions that only elves know.

   Where on earth did he learn this?

   Do even human warriors pay so much attention to the acquisition of wisdom?

  Well, it seems that the gossip is really unreliable. I have to remind the tribe to re-examine human civilization. "
