The Death Knell

Everyone in the meeting was angry, but they were angry about not one thing, especially Kael'thas, who looked as if he had lost a relative. He gritted his teeth and stared at the ground, obviously not thinking about Kel'Thuzad's defection.

Antonidas noticed it, but didn't say much. After all, he was the prince of Quel Tiras, with a noble status, and he had always been arrogant. Maybe a little setback would make him grow up.

Anyway, the curse of spitting out slugs has been lifted, and the witnesses of Kyle's failure in the duel will not come back. This is not a shameful thing at all. No one knows, it just means nothing happened.

Knowing one's shame and then being brave should also be effective for high elves.

As the oldest human mage in the world, Antonidas regards everyone in Dalaran as his student and hopes that they can have a bright future, and Kael'thas is no exception.

It's just... Kel'Thuzad was originally someone he was very optimistic about, but now he has gone astray, which is really heartbreaking.

But the hunt must go on, and those who have learned the art of necromancy must be imprisoned in the Violet Prison, otherwise they will be trouble in exile.

"Everyone knows their division of labor, right? Then go and arrange it below." The old mage paused his staff on the ground a few times, making a banging sound. Each archmage led his apprentice to search for different In the kingdom's territory, there are always clues of defecting students.

The meeting was dissolved, and Kael'thas turned around and left. He felt as if everyone was staring at him, and their eyes seemed to be full of teasing.

'They must all know that I lost to a human girl! They must be secretly laughing at me! Damn it! damn it! I need strength! More power! The glory of the Sun Chasers cannot be tarnished on me, I will kill them! ’

There was a voice in his heart that kept roaring, as if it was ringing in the prince's ears, but Kyle knew that it was his own voice.

'Jaina is also a lowly human bitch. She must be laughing at me secretly, right? She'll spread the word about my failure and make everyone laugh at the Sunstrider! And that death knell! Damn bitches, how dare they humiliate me like this? ! ’

Antonidas's expectations were completely disappointed, because Kael'thas' pride was so stubborn that it could be regarded as the original sin. He could not accept that kind of failure at all. Losing to a teenage human girl was almost a blow to him. It drove him crazy.

But the strange thing is that he doesn't blame Hermione. He proudly admits that the witch is powerful.

"Master, have you seen Jaina today?"

A young voice sounded behind Kyle. He was so focused on showing the theater in his mind that he didn't even notice anyone following him while he was walking.

Hearing this name, Prince Sun Chaser was filled with rage. He turned around suddenly, revealing his cannibalistic gaze.

But when he saw the person behind him clearly, the expression on his face returned to its previous gentleness. He even raised his hand to gently arrange the ends of his hair, and answered in an elegant and noble tone:

"It turns out to be Prince Arthas of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the respected Paladin Lord Uther. Good day."

A young human prince does not deserve much respect from Kael'thas, but Uther has both strength and connections, and has a high status in the human kingdom.

Uther didn't say much. He was both Alsace's teacher and his bodyguard. He just bent slightly towards the blood elf prince and knocked his chest plate seriously with his fist.

Alsace, on the other hand, blushed a little and looked forward to it. He kept his etiquette and returned the greeting, lowering his voice a little:

"Hello, Prince Kael'thas, I... I went hunting with my teacher today and happened to pass by Dalaran. I just wanted to see if Jaina was there..."

He was holding a dead rabbit in his hand, with an arrow piercing its head. In the other hand, he was holding a handful of flowers. They were all wild flowers. They were not very beautiful at all, so they were clenched in a mess. In the knight's gauntlet.

When Kyle's eyes fell on these two gifts, the young human prince was a little embarrassed and hid them behind his back.

It was simply vulgar. Kael'thas was disdainful in his heart. Only humans would act like trolls and give bloody prey as gifts to the opposite sex. It was really disgusting.

But then he rolled his eyes, looked at Alsace's eager look, and immediately became concerned.

He showed a look of surprise, and replied with a smile: "Jaina? Yes, I saw her today, but Your Highness, you came at the wrong time. She had already left Dalaran half a day ago."

"Ah?" Alsace looked a little disappointed. The seventeen-year-old man's thoughts were clearly visible on his face, and he asked again: "Then where did she go? When will she come back?"

Kael'thas showed a regretful expression, folded his hands in front of his red robe, shook his head and said: "Her lover came to her, a man named Deathstroke, and he took him away without a trace. Speaking of where to go, maybe she went back to her hometown to get married? In short, she dropped out of school and probably won't come back."

"What?!" Alsace dropped the rabbit and flowers in his hand, showing an expression of disbelief.

It was obviously her first, whether she knew Jaina or was a childhood sweetheart. When she temporarily lived in the Royal Court of Lordaeron, she loved playing with her sister Kalia the most, and she did not reject her pursuit, but why... ....Will things turn out like this?

"Well, Jaina was very happy at the time, and the one-eyed man was very strong and good at talking, so she was taken away like that."

Kael'thas added lightly, without elaborating, so that Arthas could think freely.

"Isn't she a student of Master Antonidas? Why didn't the master stop them?"

Alsace clenched his fists, as if it was the first time he felt something he loved being taken away, and his face turned red with anger.

"I've said it before, Your Highness, that man is very strong and can even crush Pyroblast magic with one hand. Antonidas is old and has no power to stop him. What's more, there is a traitor in Dalaran today. This For us as a council, it is more important.”

Arthas was easy to fool, and at this time the young prince had completely believed Kael'thas' words.

After all, the high elves have been allies of the Kingdom of Lordaeron for a long time, and the identity of the Archmage of Dalaran also adds a lot of credibility to Sunstrider's words.

Arthas didn't have any doubts, he just lowered his head and kept muttering, cursing the death knell for taking away the girl he loved.

But Uther was not fooled, and he had even begun to stare at Kael'thas with suspicion. Maybe if he hadn't been concerned about the identity of the Sunstrider Prince, he might have questioned his intentions.

Knowing that talking too much will lead to mistakes, Kael'thas left immediately and even activated a teleportation spell to return directly to his mage tower without any further explanation.

Arthas picked up the rabbit and flowers with a crooked mouth, and accidentally broke the arrow in the rabbit's head, which was enough to prove his inner peace.

"Your Highness, things may not necessarily be like..."

Uther whispered that he didn't like Kael'thas, and the condescending attitude of the high elves always made people uncomfortable.

"There's no need to comfort me, teacher. I'm too weak. Girls like heroes like Lothar. I understand." Alsace stuffed the flowers into the trash can beside the road, lowered his head secretly and wiped his tears. , put the rabbit corpse on his belt again, turned around and smiled: "Let's go back to Lordaeron. Please continue to train me. I will also master stronger power."

Uther smiled. In his opinion, the prince's first love died in the bud, but isn't that a good thing?

In the past, the disciple who liked to be lazy and didn't like to exercise, now actively demands training and wants to gain the strength worthy of his status. This is a sign of growth.

"As you command, Your Highness, I will do my best to teach you to become a qualified Paladin."

"Thank you, teacher. By the way, I also want to ask, is there any power that is easier to master than holy light and martial arts? A particularly powerful one." Alsace asked casually, with no expression on his face. Astride the lead horse.

Uther, who was in a good mood because of his apprentice's studiousness, told the prince the stories of the orc shamans. Having participated in the orc wars, he also understood the methods of borrowing power from the elemental spirits.

It is impossible for humans to become shamans, and he only told this story to expand the horizons of his disciples. But he didn't notice that Alsace was very interested in him, and his face showed his unabashed desire and yearning for powerful power.
