Dick stands in the center of Dalaran's teleportation hall, embraces the tearful Miss Gianna, and then sees her, mage Madeira, and a whole team of battle mages in Dalaran's robes disappear in the blue teleportation door.
With nozdom's personal guarantee, Dick finally escaped the tragic fate of being treated as a mouse. After telling antonidas in detail what he knew about "the cold of ebony" and Alexis, the great mage who disappeared in the first Orc war, Dick used the whereabouts of Dior, the only survivor of the accident that year, An agreement was reached with antonidas.
He told the Council of six about the whereabouts of MAGE Dior, and helped Dalaran find the frost artifact, the cold of ebony. But Dick also asked that the cold of ebony must be held by Miss Gianna until she no longer needed the weapon.
Antonidas didn't refuse this request. In fact, the wizard leader, who knows human nature well, would like Dick to make this request. In this way, the pressure from other members of the Council of six will be completely transferred to Dick, especially when he knows that Dick has studied almost all the artifacts, Dick will definitely become a target to attract the attention of the mages, and make this search more smooth.
The human heart is very complex, especially in the face of the temptation of artifact, almost no mage will not be moved.
Dick also called the Archmage Madeira to lead the team, which is the expressionless old lady who accompanied antonidas and krassus. First of all, the Archmage specializes in fire magic, and the cold of ebony is of no use to her. Secondly, in the previous history, Madeira has proved that she treats Gianna as her own daughter.
Almost after Gianna became a member of the six Member Council of kenrito, Madeira stood behind her and helped her solve any problem she faced. She was an absolutely trustworthy Archmage, even though she was an old lady who was not very easy to deal with.
After the blue light of the portal dissipates, Dick breathes a sigh. At this time, let Gianna go to the burning plains of the southern kingdom. Dick's meaning is very obvious. He doesn't want to let the young lady who is still growing up in strength get involved in the next cruel war.
"Master, do you know something about Yinsong forest and tirisfa forest recently?"
On the way to Dalaran visitor center, Dick told antonidas, who was walking beside him,
"I have a hunch that the purpose of the strange actions of the dead is probably Dalaran!"
This judgment made antonidas pick his white eyebrows. He touched his beard, thought for a moment, and made a "please sit down" action to Dick. Two big men sat quietly on the violet bench on the side of magic Avenue.
"I don't know how your paladins define the direction of the war, but in my view and other mages' view, according to the current undead's military strength, they can't break Dalaran, they don't even have the qualification to shake Dalaran."
Antonidas's tone is very flat. Obviously, he feels that everything is under control. For the mages, this kind of dismissive attitude is understandable. They have a powerful force that can't be understood in the secular world. The general tide of the dead is really not enough to see in the face of a group of violent mages.
But Dick was staring at the white haired old mage with strange eyes.
Hello, Mr. antonidas, where do you come from? Nothing else. In the second Orc war, Dalaran was almost completely destroyed by the red dragons of the Dragon throats clan trend. During the reconstruction, because the mages used the power of Dalaran's eye, the orc warlock naiozu, who had not yet become the Lich King, took a fancy to Talon blood devil, the death Knight of the old tribe, Led the orc army over Dalaran again.
This was more than ten years ago. Did you ignore these two loud slaps?
Dick's strange eyes were soon noticed by antonidas. The old mage then remembered Dick's identity as a "Time Traveler". Maybe Dalaran was the worst, and the bad guy might be watching secretly. This discovery made the old mage a little embarrassed, but he soon straightened out his posture.
"Cough... Don't worry, Knight Dick. We have reconstructed Dalaran's defense array. This time, I'm not only against magic or against the army. This time, I have enough confidence to block the attack of the sea of the dead. What's more, we also have the assistance of Marshal garteris and the elite gilness brigade. The silver pine forest defense line is unbreakable!"
Seeing the old mage's firm expression and the faint hatred in his eyes, Dick sighed. For people like antonidas, once he has made a decision, it is difficult to change. Coupled with the tragic fall of his old friend king Terenas, it seems that the old mage has made up his mind to fight with the undead.
This is also something that makes dick very helpless. Whether it's anastarian before or antonidas now, their characters are very paranoid. Now Dick is just a rising star. It's impossible to change their ideas and strategies before the beginning of the plot.
What's more, Dick can't give enough evidence to show his conjecture. He can't say, hey, Archmage, I saw Dalaran destroyed in my time travel, so you listen to me.
The future is uncertain. This is the first truth learned by all mages when they are exposed to time magic.
So the identity of time traveler is not enough to be an argument at all.
But Dick can't just sit by and watch antonidas and Dalaran run all the way on the road of death. The big historical node has been triggered, which is not something that dick can ignore if he wants to.
He thought about it for a while, changed his way of saying, no longer persuading antonidas to give up his idea, but intended to start from another aspect, to make a way for Dalaran.
"Master, I hear you say that you and Mr. Medivh are friends, right?"
After hearing this, antonidas's eyes flashed. Like an old man in the twilight, he put his staff in his arms and took out a delicate ebony pipe from his pocket. After a few puffs, it was accompanied by spicy smoke, he said,
"Yes, before Medivh went crazy, I was an ordinary senior mage in Dalaran. We once discussed the mystery of" time magic "in the form of pen pals. He was a real genius, who could attract the eyes of the whole world with every move. I even took him as my life goal, But what happened after that... "
The old mage shook his head. It can be seen that he was also very sad about Madison's madness. This is probably the sympathy between genius and genius. However, Dick obviously didn't care about the old mage's "friendship". After the old mage finished speaking, Dick pursed his lips and lowered his voice.
"Well, you must also know that Mr. Madison has a son?"
"Bang!"
Under Dick's gaping gaze, the shocked old mage directly crushed the ebony pipe in his hand, but after a flash of light yellow, the broken pipe was restored to its original state again.
The old man is so powerful! Are you sure you're a wizard, not a hidden Berserker?
Dick's wishful thinking just passed in his mind, and then he saw the old mage holding his shoulder with a dignified face. After a whirl, the two men appeared in a simple but absolutely not simple meditation room.
Before Dick could relax, antonidas grabbed Dick by the shoulder and asked nervously,
"Are you sure Medivh left his children? Where's the kid? Where's the kid? "
"Er... I saw that child in the time travel, but only for a moment, I only know that child's name is Madian, he should now... Live in seclusion with his guardian in the twilight forest... Er, that place should now be called sunshine forest."
Dick reached out and rubbed his forehead,
"With all due respect, Archmage, if you want to go now, you may make the guardian think that you are a hostile enemy. Mr. Medivh has left too much suffering to the world. If the child's existence is announced, I believe that even with the power of you and Dalaran, it is difficult to protect him."
Dick's words made antonidas look happy. The old mage's joy was interrupted. What Dick said was right. Once the existence of Madian was announced, it would be very sad to go to storm kingdom alone.
You know, storm Kingdom, but the orcs summoned by Medivh almost destroyed the inheritance. Even the father of the current king died under the orc's assassination.
"Also, Madian's mother is Garona, the legendary Orc assassin who assassinated King Ryan. I have enough reason to suspect that Garona, who disappeared in World War II, must be secretly protecting her son, so my suggestion is that you should handle this matter carefully."
"Fura, Knight Dick, you are right. This matter should be handled carefully. In your opinion, what does the existence of Madian mean to the world?"
The old mage touched his beard. After realizing the thorny problem of Madian, he threw the problem back to Dick. With the wisdom of antonidas, how could he not see it? Dick proposed that Madian had something to say and he had his own plan.
"There is no doubt that Madian is a genius!"
Dick looked into the old mage's eyes, and he spoke out his opinion,
"Moreover, this child probably has access to the mage TA karazan of Medivh. I heard that you lost control of him after the orc war? That place shouldn't be left idle like this, and in the current situation, I think Dalaran should learn from the Knights of the silver hand and leave a way for himself. "
"Oh? What do you say? "
Antonidas's squinted eyes flashed a trace of essence.
"In my opinion, it's a terrible thing to let karazan be abandoned like this. It's better for Dalaran to join hands with stansom regiment to take this mage tower back into our hands. You see, I've sent a special person to build the second branch base of the regiment in the lakeside town near the windward path. The war is coming, and the northern Xinjiang will not be stable without 10 years, War is not a good learning environment, especially for the novice mages who have no self-protection ability in Dalaran. They might as well take this opportunity to move to a more stable southern kingdom. "
Dick shrugged,
"I think the royal family of storm kingdom will approve of this move, won't they? Wise as you, naturally you should know that you should not put all your eggs in one basket. "
Frankly speaking, Dick has no confidence in the success rate of persuading antonidas. When he was young, the great mage might be very wise, but when he was old, he became very stubborn like an ordinary old man. In fact, in the original history, after Dalaran was defeated, only more than 2000 mages were killed, It's hard to say that this has nothing to do with antonidas's stubbornness.
If he can support Gianna's westward migration earlier, Dalaran can at least retain more kindling, so that it will not appear as a neutral city with weak strength in the next 10 years. To what extent will Dalaran not receive the green and yellow after 10 years?
Even the five dregs blue dragon like kalegos can occupy a seat in the six Member Council of kenrito. Let's look at the elite generals now. Let's not say anything else. Even the weakest mage Gianna can kill the five dregs blue dragon with one hand, which is useless except talking about love and smearing oil on the soles of her feet.
To tell you the truth, as a giant dragon, it's wonderful to be able to get to the point of kalegos. It's collapsed by a dwarf with a musket. It's going to happen to other giant dragons. Maybe they can commit suicide in shame?
But before Dick and antonidas could come up with a result, a magic letter appeared on the old mage's desk with purple light. He only looked at it, and his face became gloomy.
Alsace and his little companion, the Lich kel'sugard, appeared in tirisfa. The defense line of gilness brigade was broken. Dick's crow mouth became the reality he had to face. The undead army directly pointed at Dalaran!
