Chapter 347: Dilemma
The waiting time in the sea is always extraordinarily long, although there is still a day or two left, but for the Salorian-Morning Seeker, it seems like three autumns, and he can't wait to prepare for the attack.
And Patrick, during afternoon tea, will also go to the deck to overlook, this feeling of overlooking the sea is really proud.
Quel'Salas lived a good life, and life at sea was very comfortable, and since Patrick was personally on the mothership, the members of the council knew that the regent liked to drink tea, so they also arranged a special refresher on the aircraft carrier.
And Patrick's previous habits, as well as the habits of arcane learning, have been compiled and published by the elves who used to work in the Sun Temple.
Many elves wanted to replicate Patrick's success, the success of arcane learning, and Patrick seemed to have found a smooth way for other elves. The elves who focused on arcane practice imitated one after another, and for a while, there were fewer hedonistic mages in Quel'Thalas, and more mages who were diligent enough to retreat.
Patrick didn't care, imitation came from the worship of the heart, those elves wanted to be like Patrick, build a floating city, enter the council, become a councilor, and go to the pinnacle of life.
"Lord Regent." Patrick saw that it was Mattiss-Firehawk, who had been timid about the ship before, and seemed to have something, but Patrick didn't ask.
"It's not your style, Mattis." Patrick didn't raise his eyes, picked up a cup of hot blood thistle tea, blew the sea breeze, and tasted it slowly.
"Lord Regent, there is something I would like to tell you." Mattis is still a little squeaky and doesn't understand what he's trying to say.
And as a loyal royal party who only obeys the orders of Prince Kael'thas, he is willing to give in to Patrick, the head of the parliament, which shows that he has something to ask for, and it is a big matter, and he cannot be allowed not to bow his head.
"Say it." With a finger of Patrick's hand, a blue arcane barrier appeared, surrounding Patrick, Aurelia and Mattis, and forbidding the conversation to leak. "Now you can rest assured."
"When I first returned to Silvermoon City, I thought that Silvermoon City was still so devastated, with death marks and undead raging, until I returned to Silvermoon City, I found that Silvermoon City had already slowly recovered, and those high-level arcanists who returned from Dalaran said that it would take at least 500 years to restore the previous grandeur of Silvermoon City, but Lord Regent only needed a few years to restore Silvermoon City to its pre-war appearance, which dispelled all my concerns." It is rare for Mattis to say a set of compliments, although they are ordinary, but they are also very rare for this unruly and old-fashioned soldier.
"These embellishments are dispensed with." Patrick smiled and glanced at Mattis, "You'd better get to the point." ”
"There have been some changes in the blood elf forces in the Outlands, and a series of changes have left the current Prince of Kael'thas trapped in the Storm Fortress."
"What the hell is going on? Tell the story. Patrick didn't bother to play pantomime with Matis.
"The Prince's mentor, Volettar and his followers, defected to Shattrath and joined the Shatarnaru coalition. Now that they call themselves astrologers, many of the best wise men and mages under the prince have begun to waver, and they have betrayed the prince, the kingdom, and the entire blood elves. There was only deep hatred in Mattis's words, and Patrick didn't know what Volretar had done to make Mattis hate like this.
Volettar's rebellion Patrick had expected it, and since he was reinforced by Mustalo's Muru in Silvermoon City, Patrick knew that Kael'thas must have attacked the Draenei, and that the blood feud between the Blood Elves and the Draenei could not be resolved. That being the case, it was only a matter of time before Volretar rebelled.
Although there are many things on his mind, on the surface Patrick is still full of care: "I don't think there is anything that can make Volrettal rebel, power?" His status in Quel'Thalas is only higher than that of the prince, arcane? Is there a race that knows more about the arcane than we do, Reputation? The reputation of a traitor is not something that anyone can afford to bear. ”
"Lord Regent, but that's the way it is, Volettar has rebelled and completely fallen to the Draenei." Mattis changed his words and said directly: "So, I hope that Lord Regent can find a way to bring those despicable betrayers to justice." ”
"You probably haven't told me any details." Patrick retracted his mental power, and the color of the outer enchantment became darker and darker. "How could Volretar betray the kingdom without some special reason."
"Uh......" Mattis was a little reluctant, but he was silent for a while, and slowly spoke: "His Royal Highness and Illidan have begun to have a rift, and since the prince moved to Storm Fortress, he has almost completely parted ways with Illidan. ”
"Also...... In addition, the prince has secretly contacted Kilgardan... ”
Hearing this, the cup in Aurelia's hand fell and shattered: "Kael'thas is crazy? He is a descendant of the Sunstriders, doesn't he know about those demons? ”
Aurelia heard an unbelievable news, as a family that has been handed down from the ancient war to the present, the Sunstrider family has only experienced a short period of three generations, Darth Rema, Anastarian, Kael'thas, how could they not understand the habits of those demons who have studied arcane in ancient times. Countless precedents, countless texts, of how demons deceive other races and lure people to depne.
This kind of cooperation with the devil is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
"What is the real purpose of Kael'thas and the demon teaming up?" Patrick still looks like he is old-fashioned, which is the same as Patrick thinks, in a sense, Patrick and Prince Kael'thas are in the same mind.
"That ruined sunwell has been polluted by the Lich King, and we have no choice but to find another way to cleanse it of the plague."
Aurelia on the side couldn't help but say, "Join the devil, this is his method?" ”
"This should only be his last resort, after the sunwell was contaminated, Kael'thas has destroyed it, but this still can't stop the broken sunwell from sending plagues outward, although I have my platinum disc, I still have to consume a lot of arcane energy every day to dissolve those plagues, Kil'Gardan is the creator of the Lich King, maybe that's why Kael'thas and Kil'Gardan work together."
Without waiting for Aurelia to interject, Patrick continued: "Pure arcane energy cannot be compared with the sunwell at all, although the platinum disc can provide a stable supply of energy, but it cannot nourish our life, in other words, although we use the arcane energy in the sunwell, but the source of the sunwell is also the eternal well, and the natural energy in the well water will still nourish our life and delay aging. ”
"Personally, I don't object to Kael'thas approaching, the real reason is that when I arrive in the Outlands, I will go to the Storm Fortress as soon as possible and discuss the next thing with Kael'thas."
Matisse was overjoyed to hear Patrick's words of approval. After all, Kael'thas decided to leave Quel'Thas because he was afraid that Patrick would seize power, if Patrick agreed with Kael'thas approach, at least the thoughts of the top level of Quel'Thalas would have been unified, and Mattis was worried that Patrick would not raise the anti-flag directly to Kael'thas because of Kael'tham's fall to the devil, just like Volettal's approach.
Moreover, with Patrick as the regent of Quel'Thalas, I'm afraid this anti-flag will turn into an orthodox battle for Quel'Thalas.
But now, after getting Patrick's statement, Mattis is much more relieved.
