Chapter 230 The Council of Six in the Kirin Tor (Part 1)
Duke is very busy. After introducing the defense line of Nanhai Town.
Originally, he would continue to be caught in military discussions. In his imagination, for the next week, all the bigwigs would be discussing the same thing—which way the Horde is most likely to come from, where they might attack, and how to move the Alliance army to the area as soon as possible.
You know, it’s autumn harvest time, not every country is called Lordaeron, and not every country has enough food reserves to supply the entire country’s people for a year. For the countries of Gilneas and Alterac, at least Keep the damned tribe out before the core hinterland that you value and the crops that are about to be harvested are trampled.
But Duke was invited away.
Antonidas, as the only two Xiri Archmages in the world, is a very special existence in the alliance. He wanted Duke to participate in an exchange with the Kirin Tor Council of Six.
The Kirin Tor Council is fundamentally different from the Tirisfal Council that was destroyed by Sargeras before. The Kirin Tor Council only governs one kingdom of Dalaran, while the Law of Tiris is a worldwide organization focused on fighting demons and preventing the abuse of magic.
Duke couldn't refuse his request.
"I have already asked the Commander-in-Chief to ask for leave for you. Although I am a little sorry, the Kirin Tor Council hopes to meet you in Dalaran. You must be familiar with the portal, right?" Antonidas, who was almost down to his stomach and winking, smiled at Duke.
Duke nodded.
Then, the arcane energy in Antonidas' hands overflowed in an orderly manner.

A series of small additional spells dazzled Duke, and when he counted to the third one, Duke lost count. Anyway, the system wizard has already recorded it for him, and he will study it slowly when he has time.
When stepping into the purplish-red portal, which opened and closed like a human breath, and contained some kind of strange arcane fluctuations, Duke immediately noticed the gap between himself and Antonidas in terms of magic attainments.
With the help of the system, Duke is already very strong to some extent.
In terms of "quality", there is a huge gap compared with Master Xi Ri, not to mention Master Chen Xing. Antonidas opened the portal with only the power of Morning Star.
Duke also plays teleport. But when crossing the space, Duke is more like playing dodge ball, carefully dodging one unstable space after another in the high-speed transmission, space cracks, and would rather take a long detour than risk passing through any piece unstable area.
Antonidas is not the case. Except for those black hole-level horror spaces, all space cracks or space obstacles are all driven away by his magic power in advance.
For example, when Duke encountered a mountain, he would pass by the foot of the mountain, while the great god Antonidas directly opened a tunnel in the mountain, um, the kind that was completed in an instant. How does this compare?
For the use of space magic, this awesome old mage is definitely the most formidable one after Medivh's death.
Duke also teleported himself to Dalaran, and his mana was strong enough to do the job, but when Duke successfully crossed this daunting distance, it is estimated that Duke would have to vomit for a while to get back angry.
Antonidas' teleportation was as peaceful as Duke took the elevator before crossing.
It is a magical feeling to go to Dalaran in person.
If there is one place in the human kingdom that can be called a miracle, it is Dalaran. This wonderful city located in the south of Lake Lordamere combines wisdom, strength, majesty, splendor, art and mystery. It is the brightest pearl in the entire continent.
Although the Royal City of Lordaeron on the northern shore of Lake Lordaeron is equally beautiful, compared with Dalaran, it still lacks the sense of miracle that transcends all.
Almost all the human mages in the world used to study the arcane arts they learned from the high elves here, and the mysterious and elegant white towers all over the city summoned the mages' wisdom, ambition, status and power .
Antonidas invited Duke here when the enemy was at hand, so naturally he couldn't give Duke time to visit. Duke was directly invited to the magic hall where the Kirin Tor Council was located.
The Council Hall of the Kirin Tor is a very magical space, which does not strictly belong to Dalaran City. In a certain sense, this is already airspace.
If his own vision and the altimeter of the system wizard hadn't deceived Duke, this place was 1024 meters above the city of Dalaran.
The low clouds are at my feet, and looking at the past, there is already a black sky and twinkling stars. It seems that there is a hook here, hooking the sky tightly and hanging in the air. Only the bright lights of the city of Dalaran on the ground allowed Duke to barely see that this place was still part of the world of Azeroth.
Not only does it have a high-altitude view like flying an airplane, but the space at the top of the view also changes slightly. The space-time debris rolled up by the space storm makes the scenery in the sky change strangely from time to time. Or the drowsy darkness, or the bright rising sun, which is obviously not the scenery that can be seen at ordinary times.
The six parliament members stood on a huge metal ring that was higher than Duke. If Duke wanted to look at them and speak, he had to look up, and each of them stood at a 60-degree angle. This made Duke quite unhappy.
But what's even more annoying is that the member of parliament is dressed like a ghost. Perhaps to instill awe in the person being questioned. Outsiders can only see the purple headscarf embroidered with the symbols of the Dalaran Kingdom and the huge cloak that covers the whole person. Other things such as body shape, face and even gender are covered by clothing and magic.
What the hell is this? Invite me to stand trial?
Duke is on fire.
Antonidas was keenly aware of Duke's anger, and he apologized: "Sorry, Kirin Tor councilors are all secretly selected. Because we implement a relatively democratic national system, the votes of councilors on key issues will affect the entire country. policy, so in order to avoid bribery, threats or other pressures. Except for me, who is the speaker, I use this method to meet outsiders.”
What made Duke most angry was not this, but the eyes of those guys. In their eyes, there is no deputy general manager of the alliance, only a humble sky mage.
"Enough!" Duke yelled, causing all six members to tremble: "I am not your Dalaran mage, let alone a prisoner who came to stand trial, raise my chair! Take off your It's a basic etiquette to show your true colors. If you can't even do this, I'll go back now. The Alliance can't defeat the Horde without you Dalaran."
