Chapter XXXVII: The King
Salewall's meaning is vague, and it is difficult to discern his attitude, but he left the decision to His Majesty the King, probably because he was aware of Patrick's real thoughts, so he did not give a direct reply and asked His Majesty Anastarian to make a decision.
As Patrick left, Celewall looked at Patrick's departing figure, put down the scroll in his hand and muttered, "Interesting little guy, it seems that I underestimated him a little." ”
Selevor got up and commanded, "Come with me to His Majesty." ”
The royal court day by day.
Celevor walked into the royal court with a few attendants.
"Adviser to Salewall." The lawbreaker guards of the royal court stopped Selevor and met the king to inspect it.
The spellbreaker activated the arcane circle, a burst of blue light flashed, the arcane energy dissipated, and Celevor walked into the court of the Sun.
The ground of the royal court is paved with top-notch white feldspar and dolomite, and the topaz and red jade bordered with silver are used to form a phoenix wings pattern on the ground, which is lifelike, vivid and vivid, and each piece of white feldspar and dolomite is also connected with pure and flawless zircon, dotted with stars, dazzling and colorful, and extremely luxurious.
The dome is plated with gold, surrounded by crystal lamps, white jade walls, and pearls as curtains, all of which show the luxurious life of the elf king. The arcane light shone on the golden dome, sprinkling the light that made the elves drunk, and the beautiful maids in charge of the internal affairs of the royal court stood on both sides, their backs against the stone pillars carved in white jade, their bodies exquisite, their shoulders and back exposed skin, white and delicate, warm and smooth, overflowing with temptation.
It was obviously not the first time that Celevor had entered the Tower of the Sunrise as an advisor to the King, but every time he came here, Celevor was almost intoxicated by the light that sparkled here.
Walking into the garden of the sun, the main road of the cross is also covered with white feldspar and dolomite floor tiles, surrounded by all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, ornamental plants, alchemical plants, etc., all kinds of swaying flowers, plants dancing lightly, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, weeping leaves fluttering, fragrant and pleasant, it is the private garden of His Majesty Anastarian.
The main tower is the mage tower of His Majesty Anastarian, and the side tower next to it is the mage tower of Prince Kael'thas, who has been based in Dalaran for many years, so the mage tower does not shimmer with arcane brilliance.
Walk to King Anastarian's mage tower, and enter the room where the king often consults meetings.
"Good day, Your Majesty." Selevor bowed.
"Celevor, we're just about to tell you to come over." King Anastarian raised an eyebrow and motioned for Celevor to sit down.
There was not only Celevor in the room, but also the leader of the fire *** Indian special forces, Verles Deep Shadow.
"Your Majesty, just now that little fellow of the Cabolon family, Patrick Cabolon has just approached his subordinates, hoping to take up a position at the Royal Arcane Academy, and he also has a letter of recommendation from Darth Visor Arcanist."
"Selewall, I was talking to Velles about him, but I didn't expect him to start moving, he is a very smart little guy."
"Is His Majesty also paying attention to him?" Celevor was a little curious, there were few elves who could catch the attention of His Majesty.
"Well, his battle in the Forest of Life was very good, I read the battle report in detail, and Marshal Aurelia - Windranger was full of praise for him, he did a good job, and he directly drove the trolls out of the Forest of Life, eliminating the potential threat of the Eastern Temple." King Anastarian was never stingy with praise, but this time both royal advisors felt that His Majesty had praised Patrick too much.
"Yes, after the Troll War, Quel'Thalas is too short of elves to fight, and that little guy is really good." Vellais also praised Lower Patrick along His Majesty's lines.
"Patrick has just arrived at the Arcane Academy and wants to become a member of the Academy, I wonder what His Majesty thinks about this matter?" Seleval asked Anastarian, hoping for the king's opinion.
"This time the council went a little too far, and arranged for him to be sent to the Sun Temple, and it makes sense for him to come back and ask to join the Arcane Academy." The king did not directly answer Salewall's question.
"Your Majesty, as far as I can see, Patrick doesn't seem to want to return to Silvermoon City to develop, he and Aurelia have even developed a piece of arable land in the Forest of Life for growing herbs, and he may have his own plans." Celewall spoke his mind.
"Oh? Don't want to return to Silvermoon City to develop? What a special little guy. "It's Velles-Deep Shadow who answers." It seemed that he had sensed the actions of the Council, and the method of annexing the small clans of the Council had not changed for thousands of years, but this time they underestimated the Kabolon family too much. ”
As the intelligence leader of Quel'Thalas, what kind of goods those big clans and nobles are, and how many shady things they have, no elf knows better than Wellles-Deep Shadow. For many years, the council has been a tactic to annex or squeeze out new clans to ensure that their power is not affected.
For thousands of years, the elves have been immersed in the glitz and glitz of Silvermoon City, and how many elves can withstand the corrosion of that rotten life? Most elves seek the favor of high-level clans, relying on the arcane experience of their predecessors and arcane scriptures to quickly improve their rank, and the consequence of doing so is to join the big clans, or be swallowed by them.
There are few elves who are not tempted to study hard, and they don't want to be swallowed up by the council after they grow up, so they are sent to remote places, the progress of the arcane is slow, the arcane level is almost stagnant, and they are excluded by the council in various ways, so there will be so many high elves in the later Dalaran, and there are countless elf mages and elven priests in the seventh legion of the alliance, presumably for this reason.
Anastarian: "Let's observe that kid from the Kabolon family for a while, in recognition of his contribution to the battle in the Forest of Life, and the royal court will give him a baronial title to oversee the supply of arcane energy in the Wraith Lands, what do you think of this reward?" ”
Selevor: "He's already in the Temple of the Sun, so we can get to know his character and abilities better and make plans." ”
"I second."
The internal politics of Quel'Salas, even the king has to be careful, the members of the council are not easy to match, if the royal family crosses the line, then the council will have distractions, and it is the best choice for both sides to abide by their duties.
The royal family generally collects and sorts out the character and habits of the elves through covert observation, and then pulls others into the royal party after everything is determined. Of course, if the elves are already members of the council, the royal party will not be able to do anything, and the royal family has always adhered to this "duty" and never crossed the line.
