Blood Elf Prince of Warcraft

Chapter 243: Trap and the Old Mage’s Thoughts

Kael'thas made a mistake. Nekros Skullcrusher is the most famous leader of the Dragonmaw clan, but he is not the chief of the Dragonmaw clan.

Of course, Nekros Skullcrusher is also a leader of the Dragonmaw clan, and the orcs are willing to listen to his words. This led to Onyxia also having a misunderstanding: Nekros Skullcrusher is the leader of the Dragonmaw clan. Chief.

But in fact, the leader of the Dragonmaw clan is another orc-Zulud. This is a shaman. Originally, historically, he would go to Shadowmoon Valley in the outer world to train the void dragon.But now he is still staying in Twilight Highlands.

If you want to say why no one realizes him, it is naturally because he does not hold the dragon soul.

Because the Dragon Soul can only be used by professionals such as warlocks or mages, Zurud gave this artifact to the orc warlock Nekros Skullcrusher for use.

The Dragon Soul has no effect on other races, and Zulud is not too worried.

This artifact is the most powerful thing currently controlled by the Dragonmaw clan. For this reason, Zurud spent all his efforts to hide its existence, as did the figure of Nekros Skullcrusher.

It was a secret and perfect plan, they thought until a new piece of information came out.

"High Elf!?"

After receiving this information, Zulud stood up from his seat:

"They came to Twilight Highlands. This is impossible! Where did the information come from?"

The existence of the Dragon Soul is hidden. Zulud is confident in this, so his first reaction is that the intelligence is wrong.

"Chief, this information was obtained several weeks ago."

"We didn't believe it at first. But after a period of careful investigation, we still found some clues."

Under the short flight of stairs, the orc official responsible for collecting intelligence answered somewhat cautiously:

"So, the high elves should be here."

The reality is different from what everyone expected. Deathwing has very little connection with the orcs. Almost all the orcs, including Zulud, do not know Deathwing.

The powerful but gloomy Black Dragon King.They have been secretly controlling the orcs with conspiracies and tricks. These orcs don't even know that all their actions are driven by people, and they are still complacent about getting the dragon soul.

"No, no. How is it possible? How could the secret be leaked under such strict protection!!"

Zulud walked down the stairs with big feet and put his hands on the intelligence officer's shoulders.Very powerful:

"Tell me more detailed information!"

His eyes flashed red, wanting to see thoroughly what was going on.

The orc intelligence officer began to report on their investigations in the past few weeks, including the investigation of walking traces and the investigation of the orc outposts. The elves' actions were extremely covert and cautious, but they were finally identified.

There is no doubt that a group of powerful high elves came to Twilight Highlands.

The reason why these people are determined to be powerful is because their traces are too difficult to find.

Zulud's face became worse and worse. He was very smart.After listening to a more detailed report, I no longer deny the results.

"You did a great job!"

Zulud let go of the intelligence officer and even changed his attitude.

"You are right, it seems that a group of high elves have entered our territory."

He praised, but his face was actually full of anger.

The intelligence officer knew in his heart that the object of that anger was the high elves.But the way the chief was praising others and getting angry at the same time still made him a little frightened.

"Chief, what do we do now?"

Then, the intelligence officer spoke.

"How to do?"

Zulud's face turned blue and he gritted his teeth and made a squeaking sound:

"Of course we'll get rid of those elves!"

He would not allow the high elves to ruin the Dragonmaw clan's plans, let alone forgive these guys for intruding into his territory.

Twilight Highlands belongs to the Dragonmaw clan.It took so long for some elves to break in and find out, how should they face the ridicule of other clans?

More importantly, the current chief of the tribe, Orgrim, is dissatisfied with the Dragonmaw clan. Who knows if he will take the opportunity to launch a purge against the Dragonmaw clan?

Among the entire orc tribe, the Dragonmaw clan can only be regarded as an upper-middle-class clan, and Orgrim can easily destroy them.

With such worries, Zulud decided to deal with the high elves as soon as possible.

As long as we deal with them in the Twilight Highlands and block everything, maybe the tribe will not get the news of the elves' invasion.

For this reason, the Dragonmaw clan began to explore the elves' team more seriously and set traps in several places.

Zulud will not underestimate the high elves. Every trap is prepared with thousands of high-level professional orcs. He thinks these numbers are enough.

In fact, thousands of high-level professional orcs can be compared to a human army. Their combat effectiveness is very strong, and it is enough to deal with ordinary high elves.

But Zulud didn't know that these elves were not ordinary elves, and there were several legendary professionals among them.

His plan was doomed... The elves were unaware of the Dragonmaw clan's actions, and their exploration of the Twilight Highlands continued.

That night, they rested by a small river.

In order to hide their presence, they still ate magic bread for dinner at night, and did not raise any fire to keep warm.

After setting up the tent, most of the elves went back to the tent to sleep.

Kael'thas was still sitting by the river, not moving.

"Your Highness, aren't you tired?"

Sylvanas' pretty figure stood behind him and asked.

"I'm not very tired. Let's go to sleep later."

Kael'thas did not look back, looking down at the blurry reflection in the river and answered.

They had been searching in the Twilight Highlands for so long, but had not found anything, which made Kael'thas a little worried.

He didn't know what the situation in the alliance would be like during this period of time.

Time is really tight.Kael'thas wanted to take the opportunity to think about it and see if there was any other better way to act.

The sooner he resolves the Dragon Soul matter, the sooner he can return to join the battle line.

"Sylvanas, do you think I am wrong?"

Kael'thas asked softly:

"I gave Alleria the most important battle. She is just a girl. Is that too much?"

The elves have been in Twilight Highlands for more than a month, or it will be 2 months soon.Alleria must have been under a lot of pressure after commanding the elves on the front line for such a long time.

"Although Valela and Liadrin are also there, they are still children after all and cannot share too much pressure."

Kael'thas continued.

"But, Your Highness..."

Sylvanas immediately spoke out:

"You're still a child, too."

She stood behind.He looked at Kael'thas with gentle and sad eyes.

Among all the elves who went to the battlefield, wasn't Kael'thas the youngest?This prince always thinks about others, when has he ever paid attention to himself?In the years of elves, he was still a minor...

When he referred to the two older girls as children, he might have forgotten his own age.

Why did he have to do this?

【Is it because of me? 】

Sylvanas felt her heart sting.

Over the past few years, this pain has often accompanied her.

Sylvanas regretted that for her own personal gain, she put down the burden without saying anything and threw it on Kael'thas.

Who could have predicted that.In just a few years, Kael'thas has shed his childish look.

"Your Highness, don't worry about Alleria. She is an adult elf, and commanding armies is commonplace. There will be no problem."

Sylvanas then comforted.

Compared to Alleria, Kael'thas is the most important.

"You'd better go get some rest early... Kael'thas turned his head and stared at Sylvanas with his blue eyes.

He seemed to want to say something, opened his mouth, but only said one word:

"it is good."

Kael'thas stood up and prepared to walk back.

But he didn't take a few steps.But I met an unexpected person.

"Kael'thas, wait a moment."

Mephitus called to him.

Kael'thas stopped and looked a little surprised:

"Teacher, don't you need to do research tonight?"

During these days, Mephitus still did not stop his research. He even mounted a bird and closed his eyes to think while moving forward with the team.

Kael'thas didn't know what the old mage was studying, but he was wise enough not to disturb him.

This time is the fixed time for Mephitus to hide in the tent and study. Why did he suddenly come out tonight?

"Well, I have constructed several magic circles, but none of them have the expected effect."

Mephitus looked tired and answered:

"I have no choice but to go out for a while and take a rest."

Rather than just focusing on blind areas, it is better to let it go temporarily. This may bring you new inspiration.

"Then I will accompany you."

Kael'thas understood what Mephitus meant for him to stop, and took the initiative to speak.

Sylvanas was following him and did not speak at this time.

The three people returned to the river, sat on the rocks on the shore, and chatted.

"Kael'thas, sing a song."

While chatting, Mephitus suddenly made a suggestion.

This made Kael'thas even more strange. In his memory, the old mage had never made such a request.

Although Mephitus was never opposed to music, he seemed to care little for anything other than arcane magic.

"it is good."

It was rare that he made a request, and Kael'thas was happy to accept it.

"What do you want to hear?"

"random."

"Is it okay to use this?"

Kael'thas took out the leaf from his arms and asked.

"Ah."

Mephitus nodded slightly.

His face was not very good, full of exhaustion, and he didn't pay any attention to the song itself.

And compared to human singing, the natural sound of leaves may soothe his spirit more.

With this expectation, Kael'thas began to blow the leaves.

He only knows one tune.But this tune still works.

Perhaps I mentioned before that this piece of music was learned in a previous life, and it was a simple piece of music played by the old man to the children.

The crisp and melodious music floated.

"Lock."

Mephitus waved his hand casually, setting a range of silence, which ensured that Kaelthas's music would not spread to other places.

The old mage closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and thought about nothing.

This is the best attitude towards a kind of music.

If only he could think.That with the presence of magic, music could never be enjoyed by him.

The simpler the tune, the better it is played.The more it can show the singer’s thoughts.

However, everyone's perspective of appreciation is different.

What Kael'thas saw in this refreshing melody was the past, the carefree childhood.

And if you look at it from Mephitus's point of view.This tune shows just that - the future.

Yes, it's the future.

When the old mage was young, the world around the high elves was full of darkness and turmoil, so he did not have such a beautiful childhood to recall.

If he had to use a song to recall his childhood, it would only be described by 'The Elegy of the Highborne'.

He and Darkan, as well as thousands of elves who have lived through the ages, grew up singing this song when they were young.

This allowed most elves to remember the fallen warriors of that era, but it also made some people lose their way.

"Power, only power can protect everything!"

"If I can protect the whole world, will this make this country safe?"

Children in the dark ages have different ways of thinking because of their turbulent lives.Some people tend to power, others look further, and the endings they reach are completely different.

However, their starting point...

[It’s all just to protect the race. 】

Everyone’s growth.If you are not careful, you can easily get lost.

Mephitus closed his eyes, feeling the quietness and warmth in Kaelthas' music, as if he had seen the future.

[If Kael'thas became king, what kind of world would he build? 】

Mephitus imagined...

The war may still be going on, but...

Every child.With the correct guidance, you should not be confused.

They will grow up healthy, laughing, and make Quel'Thalas even more beautiful.

Just this is enough.

"As long as they can feel what kind of race and country this is, that's enough."

"If only they could realize what a blessing it is."

Mephitus opened his eyes while chanting softly, and Kael'thas' music stopped.

"teacher?"

The young prince looked at Mephitus with doubtful eyes, not knowing what he was talking about.

The old mage shook his head.

"A beautiful piece of music."

He put his hand on Kael'thas' head and stroked it gently:

"Kael'thas, please don't stop the music."

Music is something that can reveal a person's soul, and Mephitus wants him to keep this pure soul.

The old mage taught many people in his life, but only Kael'thas made him feel envious and proud.

[Perhaps what I have always wanted to teach is not magic, but the soul. 】

Mephitus looked at Kael'thas, and a smile slowly bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

[You can definitely pass on this spirit to more future generations. 】

Mephitus seldom smiled, but when he smiled, you could see the arrogance and handsomeness of his youth.

This made Kael'thas a little uneasy.

"What's wrong with you, teacher?"

He couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, just a little sentimental by chance."

Mephitus took back his hand and explained.

"But thanks to you, my research should be able to continue."

The darkness in his eyes was swept away and he became sparkling:

"I think I should go back."

Mephitus stood up, and Kaelthas also stood up.

"Please take a rest."

Kael'thas saluted him.

"I have my measure."

Mephitus nodded, then turned and walked back.

He walked in the darkness without losing the smile on his face.

[Kael'thas, as a successor to the throne, you are too selfless...]

Mephitus also knew that Kael'thas was too simple and selfless.

Such a kind ruler would never end well in other races and histories.

Therefore, many people would rather be a tyrant than a selfless king.

Most of the people are ignorant and short-sighted, and they always harm such a king.

However, Mephitus has given up the idea of ​​changing Kael'thas because he believes that his beloved race will definitely be able to support Kael'thas.

[You are not a qualified king, but you are the most suitable king for the elves. 】

Mephitus will make a change, and he will leave a miraculous seed to the future that has never been seen before.

He wants everyone to know how much the high elves who have emerged from the ancient sorrow will contribute to the family that has been leading them and the new prince of that family.

The king loves the people, and the people love the king.

This is the most beautiful future.

【I will succeed. 】

Mephitus vowed that no matter what, he would succeed.

By the river, Kael'thas and Sylvanas did not stay any longer. After saying goodbye, they went to rest separately.

This night, Mephitus stayed in the tent without sleep as before, and just kept sketching his magic circle.

The next day, the elves set out on their journey again.

"Little guy, when will you turn into a black dragon again?"

On the road, Onyxia continued to pester Kael'thas, but was blocked by Sylvanas.

The two women's mutual attitude became worse and worse, and Onyxia was no longer afraid of Sylvanas' violence after what happened last time.

This also means that compared to force, Kael'thas is more important to her.

Onyxia will not miss the opportunity to attack, and she increasingly does not want Sylvanas to succeed.

After several days, Onyxia has figured out the best way to deal with Sylvanas - to launch an attack.

Every time she flattered Kael'thas, Sylvanas was the most annoyed and angry.

Onyxia liked the cold look in her eyes, which was much better than defeating her by force.

Well, of course, this behavior also caused Onyxia to be particularly careful every time she slept and acted.

If you're not careful, you will definitely be killed... (To be continued) RQ
