Chapter 307 37. Enlightenment of the Empire (Part 1)

Jaina Proudmoore, 15 years old this year, wore a blue robe and a mage hat, passed through the portal, and appeared in the hall of Stromgarde. The missing tall figure was wearing a blue Kul Tiras-style navy robe, a captain's cap, and a warrior with a musket and a command knife on his waist.

"Father! Father!"

Jaina walked quickly to the side of the figure, opened her hands, and threw herself into Dai Lin's arms. She hugged her father's body tightly, and tears were already shining from the corners of her eyes.

"I miss you so much, Father."

"I miss you too, my baby."

Dai Lin hugged his daughter, and he stroked her daughter's golden and soft long hair, and said softly:

"Your mother also misses you very much. I have told Master Antonidas that after the ceremony, you can return to Kul Tiras with me, my daughter."

"But I still have a few experiments to finish."

Jaina wiped her tears and acted like a little girl to her father:

"Maybe you can stay with me in Dalaran, just for a few days."

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

Dai Lin laughed and held her daughter's hand, and the father and daughter walked towards the castle hall:

"I can't say no to you, my Jaina. Speaking of which, I haven't been to Dalaran a few times. You know, I don't like those nerdy mages very much, but my precious daughter is different. I listen Say, you just completed the trial of a high-ranking mage last month? It really makes me feel proud."

"Of course!"

Jaina proudly puffed her chest out and said to her father:

"I am the daughter of the sea, a genius of Kul Tiras."

The father and daughter were talking, and under the guard of the Grand Knights of Kul Tiras, they walked into the hall of Stromgarde. This ancient castle began to be repaired a month ago, like a rubbed Extraordinarily bright coins, welcoming today's grand ceremony.

The hall and the lawn in front are already overcrowded. Nobles from various kingdoms of the alliance gathered together, which is very lively. On the second floor of the hall, the kings are also chatting, watching Dai Lin bring his The daughter walked in, and the young king Varian and his queen, holding wine glasses, came up and talked to Dailin.

"Oh, is this little Anduin?"

Today's Dai Lin can't see the iron blood of a warrior. Like a real elder, he stretched out his hand to take over the little prince in Queen Tiffany's arms. In the blue swaddle, the next generation of the Wrynn family blood Asleep, the cute baby was still bubbling with bubbles, which made Gianna's eyes widen as she stood aside. From the light in her eyes, it could be seen that she also liked this cute child very much.

"He will definitely become a great king in the future, a qualified ruler."

Dai Lin hugged Anduin and said to Varian:

"Just like you, little Varian."

"Stop complimenting me like that, Uncle Dai Lin, I still have a lot to learn from you."

Varian has been king for several years. Although he is only in his 20s now, he already has the majesty of a king. He smiled and said to Dai Lin: "I have recently been discussing with the ministers about the establishment of a navy for the Kingdom of Stormwind. , in this regard, Kul Tiras is definitely the best teacher in Stormwind City."

"Of course, a country must have a strong navy and protect the sea. Your vision is very far away, Varian, that's very good."

Dai Lin handed Anduin back to Queen Tiffany, and the gentle queen led the inquiring Jaina to the ladies' seats, leaving the men to discuss war and state affairs.

"You can send some young people to study in Kul Tiras, and I will place them in the Third Fleet."

Dai Lin reached out to take a glass of wine from the plate held up by the attendants, and said to Varian: "The Third Fleet is commanded by Drake, and is about to embark on an expedition against the pirates on Plunder Island and the South China Sea. to a lot."

"Oh, that's really great, thank you for your generosity, Uncle Dai Lin."

Varian expressed his thanks, but Dai Lin shook his head and patted him on the shoulder:

"On formal occasions, you should call me Dailin... You are also a king, Varian, and you represent the Kingdom of Stormwind. In the Arathor Empire that is about to be rebuilt, you and I are equal."

"Dai Lin, you old fox, why are you so punctual today!"

Another voice sounded behind the two kings. Dailin turned her head and saw a well-dressed Jean Greymane entering the hall under the guard of an attendant. A trace of disgust flashed in Dailin's eyes, but soon , the two kings who were about the same age hugged each other warmly and patted each other on the shoulders, just like best friends.

"Speaking of which, Genn, I heard that a plague broke out in Gilneas recently, do you need me to send some doctors from Kul Tiras to help?"

After the kings were seated, Dai Lin whispered to Gene: "If you need help, don't hide it, I will definitely help you."

"Stormwind City will do its best to help, Jean... Your Majesty."

Varian also expressed his thoughts, but was watched by King Jin with weird eyes. After a while, Jin shrugged:

"Call me Genn, Varian...you're king now, don't be so polite."

"Well, Genn, if your people need help, it's our duty."

The little king was a little embarrassed, but quickly adapted. King Greymane said that everything was under control. He also said that in order to protect the people in the country, he planned to build a wall to separate the severely plagued area from the country. The idea was scoffed at by King Terenas.

"Your methods are stupid, Gene."

The old king seems to have come out of the loss of the previous period, and now he is discussing Jin's approach with other kings in high spirits:

"You need to find the source of the plague outbreak. Blind isolation will only make your people live in fear, and the Silverpine Forest is close to the border of the Tirisfal region. Seriously, if you think you can't handle this on your own, Lordaeron will also intervene, as long as you ask, we will definitely help."

"Dalaran is watching this weird lycanthropy too, Genn."

There was a hint of worry on Master Antonidas's face, and he said softly: "However, the "Book of Ur" related to this epidemic was stolen not long ago, and Master Ur was also assassinated. It doesn't matter if there's a plague in Gilneas, but I think it might be more than just a plague."

"I thank you for your kindness, gentlemen."

A trace of heaviness flashed across King Jin's face, and he said:

"There is no way to build the Greymane Wall. Whether it is to find the source or develop an antidote, it will take time, but if I can't block the infection channel in time, I am afraid that I will lose one-third of the infection in a few months. One's territory...wait, everyone, the best physicians in Gilneas have gathered to study this disease, and if things really get that bad, I will ask for your help."

On the other hand, the young mage Jaina couldn't bear the very explicit topics of the noble ladies. She left the hall in the name of a tour and walked to the periphery of the castle. I can't get in yet, but these little nobles also have their own circles, and they are also very lively.

Jaina roamed alone outside the crowd. The innocent girl also had her own troubles, but when Jaina crossed a garden, she accidentally saw the princes gathered here, and she saw her own Her brother Drake, and Prince Liam of Gilneas, Prince Galin of Stormgard, Prince Kael'thas of Quel'Thalas, and the prince of Lordaeron she doesn't want to see now Alsace.

They seemed to be discussing some weird things, and the discussion was very lively. Jaina originally planned to say hello to her brother, but seeing Alsace, who had the same blond hair as her, was there, and suddenly there was something in her heart. Feeling awkward, the little princess stomped her feet, turned and left, and Arthas looked back happily, and saw Jaina leaving.

Before he could say goodbye to his friends, he hurried towards Jaina.

"Anna! Anna! Wait for me!"

Behind him, with the princes laughing together, Liam moved closer to Drake and whispered:

"It seems that your sister has already captured Alsace's heart. Tell me, Drake, there will be a king of Lordaeron as your brother-in-law in the future. Is there a lot of pressure?"

Prince Drake, who has become a true warrior, shrugged his shoulders, took a sip of his wine, and said softly:

"There is no pressure. My sister is proud and arrogant. Young Alsace may not be able to catch her. My sister admires a warrior like my father. Alsace... is always a bit too reckless."

"Don't follow me!"

The girl Jaina walked out of the main hall of Stromgarde all the way, and walked angrily on the outer streets. Arthas, who was wearing a prince's dress, followed behind her. The handsome boy rushed forward and grabbed Jaina's hand. Asked nonchalantly:

"What the hell is going on? Jaina? I remember I didn't mess with you?"

"I hate you, Arthas, don't touch me!"

Jaina screamed and shook off Alsace's hand. Like an angry swan, she tilted her head to one side, not looking at Alsace, and the prince was also confused, and could only apologize.

"Okay, darling, don't be angry, no matter what I did wrong, I apologize, okay? Don't be angry."

Jaina didn't speak, but the tears of grievance kept flowing from his eyes, which made Arthas completely panicked. He stood beside Jaina at a loss, unable to think of what to say, but at this moment, a cry A gentle, smiling voice sounded behind the boys and girls.

"Yo, look, young people's beautiful and sour love, it's the best time."

Alsace turned his head vigilantly, and saw an elf couple looking at him and Jaina with a smile. The man was wearing a black dress and a white shirt. He used the sword for decoration. What impressed people was his ice-blue eyes and his neatly combed gray-white long hair. Behind him, there was a human male also wearing a dress, very silent.

The lady holding arms with him was wearing a long red dress, embellished with exquisite accessories that Alsace had never seen before, and had a lady's hairstyle. This must be a beautiful lady, but her eyes She wears a pair of black glasses so that no one can see her eyes.

That outstanding and unique demeanor immediately attracted the young man's attention, and looking at Alsace's gaze, Jaina, who was already angry, rubbed her foot on Alsace's instep angrily, rubbing The prince woke up with a start.

"ah."

Alsace almost jumped up from the ground, he straightened his clothes hastily, and said hello to the two high elves who looked like nobles:

"Are you here to attend the ceremony too?"

The male elf nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Of course, Your Royal Highness, Mr. Lothar and I are very good friends. We must not miss such a grand event. Speaking of which, my wife and I are not familiar with Stromgarde. Can you and this beautiful little princess Lead the way for us?"

"Oh, of course!"

Alsace was still a reserve knight receiving paladin training at this time, he would not refuse such a request, but behind him, Jaina stared suspiciously at the unusual elf couple in front of her, with a trace of scrutiny asked:

"The envoys of the high elves should have come with King Anasterian. How could the two get lost?"

Facing this question, the beautiful and elegant lady said calmly:

"Lovely girl, if you know enough about the history of Quel'Thalas, you should know that Windrunners don't like to hang out with other people, especially those hypocritical Silvermoon Councilors."

"Are you a member of the Windrunner family?"

Jaina's eyes widened, and she stared at Alsace who was dumbfounded, and a girl's yearning flashed in her eyes:

"Great! I really like the stories about the Windrunner, especially about Lady Aurelia...willing to cross two worlds and life and death for love, don't know what happened to that respectable lady now That's it."

Hearing Jaina's words, Tyrion and Alleria looked at each other, Alleria shook her head, reached out to brush Jaina's silky hair, she said softly:

"She is very good, better than ever, cute little girl, lead the way."
