Evil will not deceive you

When it comes to prophecy, if you can't see all the possibilities in detail, then sometimes it's better not to look at it.

Because the small part you don't see is sometimes the most critical part of the whole story, or the turning point of what you most expect.

And if you can't see it, you will be anxious for various reasons, and when you are anxious, you will do the wrong thing.

Just like a complete lie cannot deceive people, but most lies with nine truths and one falsehood can succeed, Li Ke concealed the most important thing, the main reason why the capital of the high elves was breached.

Darkan.

This character is also quite unparalleled in the history of elves, but he is not the first, because before him, there have been countless elves who have taken refuge in a powerful existence for the sake of power.

This kind of behavior is really nothing special for these races that rely on energy to survive.

It's just that most elves understand that taking refuge in others is almost equivalent to putting their wealth and life in the hands of others, so most elves don't like this.

But Darkan was very unnatural. He surrendered to Arthas without any promise, and then received powerful necromancy as a reward.

And the price...

It's your own race.

It was he who secretly handed over the method of breaking Silvermoon City to Alsace, and it was precisely because of him that the high elves were able to break through Silvermoon City so easily, resulting in the direct number of high elves killed being halved, and even For a while, it got to the point where nothing existed.

Li Ke didn't know how many high elves would be killed by Alsace, but judging from the fact that they were tricked several times by Garithos and were about to be exterminated, the life of the elves at that time must have been difficult.

And he didn't tell Kael'thas about Dar'Kan.

"Is the prophecy true?"

Prince Kael'thas was struggling in his heart when he left, because after thinking rationally, he found that for himself, both possibilities were true!

First, there is no need for Li Ke to deceive himself about this kind of thing. Their interests are closely linked, and if he doesn't tell himself and just sits back and watches what happens, then Kael'thas is sure that by then, At that time, in order to accommodate his compatriots, he could directly kneel on the ground and beg Li Ke.

It would have been the best outcome if Li Ke didn't say anything, but he did, and it was still such a disadvantageous situation for him.

Second, Li Ke shouldn't know many of these things, especially the scenery of Silver Moon City, his room, the appearance of his father, the appearances of the people he knows, and the current scenery of Silver Moon City.

These are not things that Li Ke, a human, should know. The other party has never been to Silver Moon City at all, and most of the people he brought are peripheral members. Most of them are immune to the problem of magic addiction, because they originally Even for the elves living in the outer city, the power concentration of the Sunwell is not very high. Correspondingly, their demand for power is not that high. Even if the supply of magic is cut off now, most of them will not become addicted to magic. of symptoms.

Prince Kael'thas thought about it for a long time and finally decided to be prepared.

"Prepare me the portal to Quel'Thalas."

He stood up and gave orders to his men, who quickly got ready. In fact, they had long wanted to leave with His Royal Highness, because in their view, Arthas was obviously going to sweep across the entire human world. At this time, there was no doubt that it would be safer to return to Silvermoon City.

There is a Salas barrier there, and Silver Moon City is also protected by a solid magic barrier, so there won't be any problems at all.

The portal was quickly prepared. Prince Kael'thas took the time to write a letter and asked the attendant to give it to Jaina, who was recruiting ships to send the refugees to Li Ke. Then he sighed and walked in The portal.

He really wants to stay with Jaina now, but unfortunately he can't. Jaina is already very worried.

Although the Lordaeron refugees brought by the other party can stay in Dalaran for a while, it is troublesome to go to Li Ke. When transporting soldiers before, Jaina already owed Dalaran a large amount of money. , although no one thinks that she can't pay the money, there is no doubt that because of the destruction of Lordaeron, Dalaran obviously doesn't value Jaina so much.

Jaina's treatment in Antonidas has not changed, but in the eyes of other Dalaran mages, Jaina is no longer so important.

Otherwise, the Archmage would have taken the lead long ago to help Jaina open a portal to Li Ke's territory and send these refugees out quickly and safely.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

In this war era, all humans except Li Ke cherish the materials in their hands too much.

With this thought in mind, Kael'thas returned to his loyal Quel'Thalas. The moment he came back, he felt the warm energy of the Sunwell, which relaxed his body and mind, and even felt that his whole body was filled with energy. Light as if it could fly.

This is no joke. In Quel'Thalas, he only needs to move his fingers to make himself fly, and it is quite simple.

But outside Silver Moon City, if you want to do the same thing, you will need at least dozens of times the cost and energy. But here, as long as you are linked to the power of the Sunwell, there will be no For a price, you can release unlimited magic.

However, release still requires chanting and preparation time, which is why their walls in Silver Moon City are so thick...

"Thick?"

Kael'thas looked at the gate of Silvermoon City and was stunned for a moment.

Because he suddenly remembered that the walls of Silver Moon City had long been transformed into various houses, and only the surface layer was still an earth and stone structure.

Although the power of magic makes these stones harder than fine steel, they have become less stable than they have been for thousands of years.

"…………"

Kael'thas pursed his lips. He found that he could not change this kind of thing now. Being able to transform the city wall into a house had obviously passed the approval of the Silvermoon City Council, and if it was to be transformed again, those who bought these How are the interests of the house elves guaranteed.

Quel'Thalas can't afford this kind of money, but every inch of land in Silvermoon City is really valuable!

"Forget it...as long as nothing happens to the Sunwell, it will be fine."

Sighing softly, the returning prince kept waving to the surrounding subjects.

Although he came back in a hurry without any ceremony, he would still walk on the avenue to see his city and his subjects.

Soon, he arrived at the core of Silvermoon City, where Silvermoon City holds meetings. Although they lived on Quel'Danas Island most of the time and rarely came to Silvermoon City to live, because Because of the large population here, most of the time the parliament discusses matters here.

He quickly informed, and soon, His Royal Highness came to the ceremony hall and saw the familiar elf councilors.

And his father, who has shown an old look.

Without exchanging greetings with his father, although it was still unclear whether Li Ke's prediction was accurate, he did not want to ignore the lessons learned from Alsace, and it was time for Silver Moon City to be on guard.

Because Arthas is obviously a beast. In order to gain power, who knows if he will go crazy and want to attack Quel'Thalas. In the process, it is not good for any elf to die!

So, he knelt down on one knee and showed his solemnity to his father.

"Father, I bring you bad news. Prince Alsace has taken refuge in evil forces, killed his father, and is very likely heading towards us."

He knew that his father already knew the news, but he still wanted to say it once to show his solemnity.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice spoke.

"So, does this matter have something to do with your excessive involvement in human affairs? As far as I know, the princess of Kul Tiras often stalks you... So, is it possible that Alsace's attack on us has something to do with this? related?"

Kael'thas felt the absurdity. His pursuit of Jaina had almost become a joke to the entire elven clan. Where could Jaina be chasing him? If Jaina really was chasing him, would he feel so uncomfortable?

But he also knew that the other party wanted him to marry some elf noble girls, and his father also acquiesced in this matter.

After all, because he likes human girls, the entire royal family, even the parliament, and civilians are quite dissatisfied. It's a pity that Jaina doesn't understand his efforts.

"It has nothing to do with this matter. I was the Archmage of Dalaran at the time..."

But his words were interrupted by an old councilman. This man looked at Kael'thas with a smile. His wife was the sister of Kael'thas' mother, so he had the right to speak at will.

"But the problem is, many people don't think so. Your Highness Kael'thas, your identity is our prince, and every move you make outside represents Quel'Thalas, doesn't it?"

Kael'thas lowered his head. He knew what the other party was going to say, but he could only lower his head in front of these heroes of Silvermoon City.

"yes."

He took a deep breath and was about to say something, but another councilman spoke.

"In addition, regarding the fact that you agreed to the conditions of that lowly creature named Li Ke without authorization and asked our noble fellow elves to do odd jobs for him..."

Kael'thas raised his head and was about to retort when his father spoke.

"We have discussed this matter many times. Kael'thas has done a good job, and that human being is also very humble. He has no objections to our reasonable requests such as building a mana well and expanding the living area, and even gave many times salary, so I don’t think this matter needs to be discussed.”

The councilor shut up. Although he was still dissatisfied with the elves being hired by humans, the king had already spoken, so he didn't say much.

Kael'thas knew that they were all for the good of the elves, but ignoring the news he had brought really made him not know what to say, so he spoke again.

"I hope to strengthen the security force of Quel'Thalas, gather warriors and militia, and prepare a large portal. Father, I have personally fought against that Arthas, and I can be sure that if we are not prepared, we will No one can be his opponent!"

Kael'thas was certain that if he didn't bring his own weapons and be ready to cast spells, he would never be a match for Arthas!

That sword is terrible!

"Oh... it seems that our prince was frightened. It seems that he has been away from the tribe for so long that you have forgotten what the most powerful weapon of our elves is. His Highness Prince Kael'thas, do you think that after the orc attack? , our Silvermoon City Council haven’t made any changes? Or are you questioning Quel’Thala’s enchantment?”

Another congressman spoke up. To raise the alert, we need to increase military spending. The Windrunner family itself is already too big, and its population far exceeds that of the Sunstrider family. If it weren't for the fact that the only male member of the Windrunner family of this generation, Lilas, was killed when the orcs invaded. After they die, they will all be worried about what to do with the Windrunner family, scum similar to human habits.

Because in their opinion, the Windrunner family, who often have to deal with humans, is really not like elves. They are too childish about marriage. They give birth to children as wantonly as those humans. In just a few thousand years, the number of people has increased. Just beyond the Sun Chaser family and a series of families.

Although there are reasons why they have been fighting against foreign enemies for thousands of years and suffered heavy casualties, this is not the reason why they can increase their size unscrupulously and completely control the army with their relatives, disciples and former officials.

So it's better to believe in the Quel'Thalas barrier.

The last time I protected them from the orcs, I continued to protect them from the hands of humans and trolls for thousands of years.

They believe they can do it this time too.

Kael'thas is going crazy. Arthas is probably coming now. But they are still worried that increasing military spending may make the Windrunner family too big? !

So he stood up and asked angrily.

"Alsace's power is extremely terrifying! Every time he kills a person, his power will increase by one point! We must not take it lightly!"

Kael'thas wanted to open the heads of these councilors to see what they were thinking, but this time, it was his father who stopped him.

"Then can his power surpass the Sunwell?"

Father……

Kael'thas looked at his father with wide eyes and understood everything instantly. He took a deep breath and lowered his head.

"cannot."

No matter how powerful Arthas was, it was obviously not as powerful as the Sunwell.

"Then, he doesn't need to worry. My son, you are worrying too much. It seems that you have been away from the tribe for too long. Go home and rest first, and then get together with your friends, have a party, and get to know more people. Something like that.”

Looking at his son, the Elf King felt that he had been away from home for too long and had forgotten many things.

Silver Moon City is not decided by him alone, and the most important thing is...

What is Alsace?

Is he worthy of being compared with the Sunwell?

Instead of worrying about him, it would be better to worry about Kael'thas's marriage problem.
