Chapter 163: Refusal
"Aurelia isn't in the Tower of Sun." I don't know what happened, so let Aurelia leave the Mage Tower.
"Your Excellency, Lady Aurelia has gone outside the city to meet General Sylvanas." The talking elf is Aurelia's handmaiden.
Patrick was a little puzzled as to why he went to the ground to greet Sylvanas: "Oh, is there something going on?" ”
"General Sylvanas led his troops to successfully drive the trolls out of the Scar Peak, and also recaptured the Far Wanderer camp, successfully eliminating the main force of trolls led by Zulkin."
No sooner had the maid finished his sentence than Patrick heard the voices of Sylvanas and Aurelia coming from outside the door.
"It's just a pity that Zurgin escaped while it was night, otherwise this time we could have dealt with the trolls of Zuaman once and for all." Sylvanas was the first to come in, and her voice sounded a little regretful, but her expression was very proud, with the expression that I did so well, brother-in-law, you praised me.
This is indeed the greatest achievement since the founding of the High Elves, Zurkin and the tribe originally joined hands to attack the Yongge Forest from two directions, but after the tribe retreated, they did not notify the trolls, allowing the trolls to be dragged by the free high elves, and then strangled by the reinforcements that came.
Patrick's golden slender eyebrows raised: "All the trolls have been wiped out?" ”
"No, Sylvanas and the Ranger Lord Hadurun Mingyi who came to support surrounded and strangled the trolls, and the main force of the trolls has been wiped out, and the troll leader Zurkin has been captured alive." Then came Aurelia, along with a male elf and a male human: "Unfortunately, the trolls feinted at night, and Zulkin took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”
Patrick pondered for a moment and said, "The tribe of trolls and orcs is probably premeditated, and when the orcs attacked us, Zurkin led his troops to attack from the flank, split up, and disintegrate the kingdom's troop deployment. ”
"Well, but in the end, they failed, this is Hadurun Mingyi, the leader of the reinforcements sent by the Ranger Command, and the other is named Nathanos Mares, a human merchant, his caravan encountered trolls, fortunately met Sylvanas's ranger troops, survived, and has been following Sylvanas's troops to assist in the battle." Aurelia gave a brief introduction.
The Ranger who can be recognized by Sylvanas naturally has his own uniqueness, and with the requirements of the Windranger family for the Ranger, Nathanos should be a gifted professional: "In any case, this victory is a great event worth reciting. ”
"This time, the trolls have been greatly damaged, and without the interference of foreign enemies, the development of the floating city will usher in a golden age."
……
As the supreme administrator of the Ghost Lands, Patrick will naturally report the results of the battle of Sylvanas, Haduron Brightwing and others to His Majesty Anastarian and the Silvermoon Council, and Aurelia will naturally report the battle through the Ranger Command.
Silvermoon City has not achieved such great results in the battle of trolls for many years, according to the observation of the front line, the trolls have completely retreated into places such as Sebunoy and Sebutira, but they have only strengthened their patrols and defenses, and they are no longer able to intrude on the front line areas such as Anovyn and Terras.
Sylvanas and Haduron recounted the battle in detail, and they said that Nathanos-Mares's excellent experience in the wilderness had helped a lot, or Sylvanas would not have allowed a human to enter the Floating City, and Patrick asked the squires in the tower to arrange a place for the two and the human merchant to rest temporarily.
"Your Excellency Patrick, Chief of the Royal Arcane Academy--- Celeval teleported to the Floating City." Yanida's magic came and Celevor came, presumably because of the detailed results of the compensation plan.
"Ask him to come up." This time, Anastarian sent a general to come, and the result of this compensation is probably of great significance.
After getting Yanida's communication, Selevor came to Patrick's chief layer, and came to the floating city for the first time, Selevor looked left and right, although the entire chief layer did not have the luxury of Silvermoon City, but the arcane energy was abundant, and the room layout was also decent, and there should be a lot of configurations, and the room was surrounded by arcane scrolls and books.
Celewall released his spiritual power and sensed the sky outside, this new city was suspended in the clouds, and this condescending feeling made Celewall a little distracted: "The feeling of this floating city is very unusual. ”
Of course, these words, Celewall only dared to say in his mind that the current Patrick is no longer the up-and-coming little mage he was at the beginning, and he has become a council member, and his status is even higher than himself, and he is only delivering news on behalf of the king.
Selevor took out a copy of the bill handed over to the king by the four major families: "Director Patrick, this is the compensation plan of the four families of Sunwing, Morningwalker, Morrowind, and Dawnstar, which is valid for all the suffering elven civilians, and for your outstanding performance in this war, the other four councillors have unanimously agreed that you will be resident in the Silver Moon Council and serve as the vice-chairman to guide the affairs of Quel'Salas, I wonder what you think?" ”
Celevor has always used honorifics, and although Patrick was once just an inconspicuous little mage, and he himself rejected Patrick's application to join the Arcane Society because of his appointment to the Council, now, the humble little mage has become the very top of the entire Quel'Salas.
Patrick looked at the report of the council lightly, and the conditions given were very generous, and those financial and material subsidies once made Patrick feel that he was dazzled, as if he had seen a lot of zeros, but the last one was a real conspiracy, and now those directors are still sparing no effort to calculate themselves, you are really doing a good job.
Patrick then asked, "What is the attitude of the Chief Master Oakes of the Mage Guild?" ”
"Master Oakes didn't make it explicit, he just said that the resolution of the council had been passed by the majority, and his opinion didn't matter," Salewall said. ”
That old fox, his political sense is still really keen, he probably knows that he will definitely be angry when he sees this resolution, so he immediately dissociates the relationship, although it is said that the Cabolon family and the Dawnblade family have confirmed their cooperation, and his brother and father maintain the family's prestige in Silvermoon City, thanks to the support of Dawnblade, but Patrick also knows that the two are not so much cooperating as using each other, and they look like they are separated.
Patrick put down the resolution in his hand and made it clear: "I reject the last three resolutions, and I absolutely do not accept them." ”
"Chief Patrick, isn't it better to return to Silvermoon City than to be in the Wraith Lands? The terms of the council are very good, and you will also become the first elf in the history of the kingdom of Quel'Thalas to become a vice-council member before the arrival of a hundred years. Celewall didn't understand Patrick very much, in his opinion, the terms offered by the council were so good that even he, the head of the Royal Arcane Society, was a little tempted, and it was hard to imagine why this young elf would not hesitate to refuse.
