“Master Aier, your wisdom is broader than the endless sea.”

Kael'thas was sitting in the cockpit of Unit Zero, stroking the brown-glowing power core with a look of intoxication.

“Sycophant.”

Hemit struggled to lift the Behemoth, weighing a full hundred tons, and walked heavily towards Dalaran.

“Such amazing brute strength. What kind of… is your pet…”

“It's a follower! A follower! You long-eared bastard, watch your chrysanthemum at night!”

Hemit roared in anger.

“Speed up!”

Aier, with a dark face, gave the old dwarf underfoot a cruel smile.

‘Serves you right for being a smart aleck.’

Hemit slapped himself twice and quickly scurried forward on his short legs.

“Master…”

“Your Highness is joking. I am but a humble and ignorant man, unworthy to be your master.”

Aier said, seemingly humble, but in reality, keeping people at arm's length.

… …

After a long silence…

“Master, I will let you see my determination!”

Kael'thas seemed to have thought of something, and his originally dim eyes became firm again.

‘Whatever makes you happy.’

Aier silently complained. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to get involved with anyone from the royal family. No matter what it is, getting involved with politics will eventually lead to corruption. This is also the reason for Aier's indifference towards the prince.

“Tell me, what agreement did His Majesty Anasterian and Antonidas reach? Why is this matter involving me?”

“This… it's a long story.”

Kael'thas stopped stroking the parts and said solemnly:

… …

Under Kael'thas's detailed explanation, Aier understood the cause and effect of the matter.

It was nothing more than the old trick of substituting one thing for another. Anasterian wanted to insert Rommath, the new Archmage of Silvermoon City, into the Council of Six in Dalaran to increase his influence in the human magical kingdom.

‘If the Sun King's plan succeeds, then in a thousand years, no, at most 500 years, Dalaran will become a vassal state of Quel'Thalas. It will also become a bridgehead for the Sunstrider royal family to be inserted into the human kingdoms. Grasping Dalaran, in a sense, means grasping the lifeline of all human kingdoms.’

‘Heh heh, what a good calculation… Your Majesty.’

Aier raised his head with a sneer, just in time to see the Prince's face full of shame. Obviously, as the crown prince of a country, he understood this superficial political wisdom.

‘It's a pity, if you weren't the Prince of Quel'Thalas, then we might really have become good friends.’

Sighing softly, Aier continued to ask:

“Antonidas is not a lamb to be slaughtered. What… does he want?”

“The formula for two generations of Jin Ke La, the blueprints for the Arcane Guardian and the Arcane Annihilator, the breeding technology for Ah You and the piglets, and… the sharing rights of your research results for the next 10 years.”

The prince said with a complicated expression.

“Reasonable, but… is my reputation already so great? It's really frustrating, Antonidas…”

Shaking his head with a chuckle, at this moment, he had a shocking plan in his mind.

… …

Not far from Dalaran, in Lordamere, Antonidas and the other four councilors stood solemnly on the path that Aier and his party were bound to take.

“Is it really necessary to make such a big show? That Aier is just…”

Archmage Modera whispered beside Antonidas.

The Speaker interrupted her and said in a deep voice:

“Modera, you must understand that everyone has their value. To a certain extent, this value can be measured. Aier Saronas is not as simple as you think. He is not just a simple scholar…”

Antonidas's wise eyes flashed with light. After saying these words to his loyal supporter, he fell silent and stared into the distance without saying a word.

… …

“Boom… boom… boom.”

“Something's happening!”

Antonidas listened carefully to the vibrations of the earth and quickly flew into the air, looking towards the distance.

“There is a huge construct approaching us.”

Krasus, who had always been low-key and unremarkable, frowned rarely.

“How come I can't hear anything… Holy Light, what is that?”

The remaining three Archmages also flew into the sky with Antonidas. The behemoth in the distance made them collectively lose their voices.

“Quick, sound the alarm and gather the mages!”

Modera screamed, the behemoth in the distance making her shudder.

“No… wait.”

Antonidas raised his hand and stopped Modera's reckless actions, continuing to observe.

“But… if we don't act, our Violet Barrier…”

Ansirem persuaded anxiously.

“That's not an enemy…”

Antonidas's pupils contracted sharply after using Eagle Eye, followed by a deep tremor.

“Let's go, our Master Aier… has arrived.”

The Speaker, who had been full of energy, seemed to be more than ten years older at this time. The other councilors followed the Speaker towards the behemoth with suspicion.

Antonidas was first shocked to see the old dwarf carrying Unit Zero on his back, and then solemnly gave Aier a Dalaran mage salute.

“Although you and I have known each other for a long time, we have never met, Master Aier.”

Antonidas said with a complicated expression.

Aier: ? ? ?
