Live Streaming: Azeroth Chapter 679

The scenery of the King City of Lordaeron is very beautiful. In the higher palace garden, you can directly overlook the whole city.

The solemn and solemn Cathedral of the Holy Light, the magnificent Central Opera House, the bustling trade area, and the vitality and antique heritage of the city can be seen all over the place.

Princess Calia Menethil of Lordaeron has long been used to coming to the garden every afternoon, enjoying afternoon tea while admiring the magnificent view of the city.

Ten years as one day.

Since Jialia was sensible, her king's father Terenas had been instilling a concept in her.

"You were born for the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Menethil family. While enjoying the privileges, you must also shoulder your responsibilities as a child of the royal family."

The responsibility of "children" sounds really good.

The responsibilities of sons and daughters in Terenas' mouth are completely different.

Jialia is the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. According to the rules of the feudal dynasty, she should have the right to inherit the throne, and the order of succession is very high.

However, Terenas never intended to train Calia as the heir, but pinned all his hopes on Alsace who was born 2 years later than Calia.

The queen of Terenas died of illness not long after giving birth to Alsace, and the direct blood of the Menethil royal family is only Calia and Alsace.

She has never been out of the royal city... Even the royal palace, Calia can't contact the outside world in person, but through the legends and stories heard by the maids of the palace from the mouth of the court bard, a doubt was planted in the young Caliya's heart.

Since there is a queen in these stories, why did her father never teach her any way of governing the country, but only let her show her charm as a woman at the banquet?

Since childhood, Calia has participated in countless banquets, and she feels like an artificial landscape placed in the center of the banquet hall for people to watch.

There is no need to think, no need for ego, just maintain a fixed graceful posture and a fixed smiling expression.

Jia Liya, who was born 5 years before the Gate of Darkness, is just 17 years old this year, which is the age when her flowers are just blooming.

After countless generations of bloodline optimization, the descendants of the royal family of Menethil are handsome and beautiful.

Since three years ago, in the Kingdom of Lordaeron alone, dozens of young nobles, large and small, have asked Terenas to marry him, hoping to marry the more beautiful and charming Princess Calia.

Terenas was well versed in the principle of bargaining for a price, and he did not agree to any nobleman in the country.

Starting from his heart, he hoped to rely on Calia's marriage to obtain a strong claim of a human kingdom, and help him unify the seven human kingdoms and reproduce the great cause of Emperor Thoradin.

But no one is a fool, least of all the kings of the great kingdoms.

Terenas' ambitions are obvious, and no other prince is willing to marry a Lordaeron princess who may explode at any time and come back as a confession.

At the level of the royal families of various countries, appearance and figure are no longer the primary criteria for choosing a wife. The most important thing is whether the princes can provide help after they succeed to the throne.

The Princess of Lordaeron has a strong backing, but the price to be paid to gain support from Lordaeron is too high, so big that no human kingdom is willing or able to bear it.

Just after the end of the Second Orc War, five years ago in the seventh year of the Black Gate, Terenas once had the idea of ​​marrying Calia, who was only 12 years old at the time, to the heir of the Alterac Kingdom.

At that time, there were two families closest to this position, one was Lord Daval Prestor who jumped out of the cracks in the stone, and the other was the Barov family who had received Terenas' promise.

According to legend, the Prestor family is a distant relative of the Perenold family, but this identity is actually fabricated from beginning to end. It is a false identity created by the rebellious black dragon headed by Deathwing using illusion.

After Deathwing was seriously wounded and escaped, the black dragon prince Nefarian inherited this identity.

Due to all the troubles, Nefarian gave up Deathwing's original plan, hid back in Blackrock Spire to concentrate on his own colorful dragon research, and handed over the name of the Prestor family to his sister Onyxia to manage.

As we all know, Onyxia was abducted by Sharlayan several years ago.

In desperation, Nefarian sent a female black dragon to replace her, but in the end, Sharlayan and others jointly killed her in Stormwind City, and completely exposed the identity of the Prestor family as a black dragon.

After Daval Prestor (Nefarian) voluntarily withdrew from the heir contest, the succession to the throne of Alterac seemed to be a certainty, and it was destined to fall into the hands of the Barov family, the in-laws of the Perenold family.

Many people still haven't figured out why Terenas would give up the more secure marriage and annex Alterac forcibly.

Alex Barov has a happy family. He and his wife Ilucia have two sons and a daughter.

Moreover, according to the investigation of Lordaeron's intelligence department, the two sons of the Barov family, Alex and Weldon, are out-and-out dudes, very easy to control.

No matter who among them Calia marries, Lordaeron's ministers are sure to take this opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of the Alterac Kingdom and gradually bring Alterac into their pocket.

But Terenas chose the most radical method, which drew strong condemnation from Stormgard and Gilneas.

Five years passed in a hurry, and Princess Jialia still failed to get married.

But through the recent internal changes in the Barov family,

Some ministers found grounds for Terenas' radical move.

The Barov family has publicly announced the abolition of Alex's inheritance rights, and chose the youngest daughter, Jandis, who has always been quiet, to inherit the family business.

However, as the person who almost reached a marriage, Calia herself knew very well that Terenas hadn't considered that far at all at the time.

He just didn't want Stormgard and Gilneas to intervene to dismember Alterac, so he used his status as the leader of the alliance who was in full swing after the victory of the war to force his move, which left endless troubles.

The older Terenas became, the more stubborn he became. No matter what the nobles and ministers in the country tried to persuade him, he still held onto Calia's marriage and tried to marry princes from other kingdoms. He was unwilling to give up his unrealistic dream of unification. .

Obsessed with personal ambition, Terenas, who is becoming more and more stupid, did not notice that his daughter has gradually grown up and started to have her own ideas, and she is no longer willing to be a tool for marriage and childbirth.

In the garden of the Royal Palace of Lordaeron, Princess Calia, who was in her prime, had a gentle smile on her face, half-closed her eyes and listened to the new story the maid had heard from the court bard.

Most of the stories of bards have been artistically processed and beautified, and the stories of court bards have a lot of political purposes.

The latest story is based on the Battle of Alterac (randomly made up), which highlights the military skills of Alexandros Mograine and Uther the Lightbringer, as well as their strong personal strength.

Having heard all kinds of stories since she was a child, Calia has long been used to extracting really important information from a lot of nonsense legends.

"Salayan Earl Deep Shadow?"

After the maid with a nice voice stopped telling the story, Calia opened her slightly closed blue eyes, smiled and nodded encouragingly to her.

Sending off the court maid who was responsible for telling the story, Jia Liya took a black tea cup and walked gracefully to the edge of the garden, standing in front of the carved railings, overlooking the familiar scenery of the royal city thoughtfully.

In the stories of the court bards, the name of Earl Deep Shadow does not appear many times, and only a few sentences mention his identity.

The representative of the evil high elf kingdom Quel'Thalas went to Alterac to win over the Alterac rebels for the sun king Kael'thas Sunstrider and create chaos in the rear of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

After Crown Prince Alsace was put under house arrest in his bedroom, Princess Calia gained the trust of Terenas who had not yet recovered, and finally had the opportunity to get in touch with state affairs, and thus met a group of ministers and nobles with similar positions.

Nothing is unachievable.

Princess Jialia is that caring person. When she tried to play the role of vase over the years, she never gave up her exploration of state affairs.

Most of the maids in the palace of Lordaeron come from various noble families.

Not only Lordaeron, but all major kingdoms including Quel'Thalas have adopted this set of selection rules.

Through her personal maid, she contacted some nobles who were willing to help, and Jialia secretly obtained a lot of information from home and abroad over the years.

Naturally, this information will inevitably mention the neighbor who has become more and more present—the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

Sharlayan Deep Shadow's name rarely appears in official documents, but he is mentioned from time to time in some unrevealed intelligence, which attracted Calia's initial attention more than 2 years ago.

As the main peace faction, Princess Calia secretly gained a lot of support in this internal political struggle, and because of this, she connected with the Barov family. She accidentally heard it again in this behind-the-scenes peace negotiation. Sharlayan's name.

"Are you going to personally go to Lordaeron in the near future to have an interview with your pen pal, Princess White Rose...?"

"Oh~"

Princess Jialia shook her head with a broken smile, took a sip of her black tea, and said to herself nonchalantly: "As a high elf, it's not easy to sneak into the Royal City of Lordaeron without anyone noticing."

"Oh? Does Her Royal Highness think so?"

A pleasant deep laughter suddenly sounded beside Jia Liya: "Actually, I don't think it's too difficult."

Jia Liya, who was still joking just now, was taken aback by the sudden male voice.

The etiquette education she received since she was a child prevented her from making a fool of herself in unexpected situations. She forcibly suppressed her inner anxiety and turned her head to look at the place where she made her voice.

When she saw a black raven tilting its head and staring at her with a smile that was not a smile, Jia Liya finally couldn't help showing a look of astonishment on her face.

"Raven? Are you talking?"

This raven was changed by Sharlayan. After completing the work of collecting intelligence and disseminating the truth in the city, he finally officially left for the palace of Lordaeron.

It has to be said that Terenas has done a good job of strengthening the lair. The entire palace is protected by an invisible magic barrier that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

The court mages have been maintaining the operation of the barrier, and only those with the permission of the Menethil royal family can freely enter and leave the palace.

To put it more simply, in order to pass the automatic authentication of the enchantment, one must possess the special magic power fluctuations of members of the royal family of Menethil, or carry items related to it.

Those without privileges will be blocked by the barrier, and they will be allowed to enter only after being checked by the mage and guard at the main entrance of the palace.

Sharlayan, the uninvited raven, did not come in through normal channels.

Gradually regaining consciousness, Jialia suddenly found that Raven was holding a letter paper still exuding the fragrance of roses on her feet, and the snow-white rose on the back made her feel very familiar.

"You...could it be?"

"Shh~"

Raven blinked his left eye playfully: "The terrain here is too open, full of eyeliners, it's not suitable for exchanging secrets."

'Eyeliner? '

Jia Liya's delicate brows raised slightly: 'Sure enough, my father is still worried about me. '

Sharlayan once heard a very sad sentence from the barrage.

The royal family has no family affection, only endless calculations.

Jia Liya is actually quite lucky, she only has a scheming father, and a younger brother who has had a good relationship with her since she was a child, so she doesn't need to guard against plots from other royal family members.

That is to say, the only person Calia needs special "attention" in the palace is the king Terenas, her good father.

[Sure enough, loving father and son are filial piety is the tradition of Lordaeron, we have to taste it. 】

[In the original history, Calia Menethil was completely a background board with an empty name in the early days, and no one knew about her life. 】

[It wasn't until Legion's Second Coming version that Calia reappeared, and it was revealed that she was the real closed disciple of Alonsus Faol, Archbishop of the Church of the Holy Light. 】

Sharlayan admitted that he was taken aback: "What?! Archbishop Faol's closed disciple?"

【Yes, but it was many years later that Faol accepted Calia as his disciple, and both of them were already undead at that time. 】

"Undead...?"

Silently following Calia, who looked normal, back to the bedroom, Sharlayan's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

"The Scourge can actually resurrect Faol as an undead. Doesn't it mean that a soul filled with holy light cannot be summoned by spiritism?"

[That's what I said, but it was under the condition of preparation in advance, Tirion Fordring is such an example. 】

[When Faol died, the Scourge hadn't even appeared yet, so he couldn't have prepared his own tomb for psychic protection in advance. 】

Although in this timeline, it is very likely that Faol's acceptance of Calia as his disciple will never happen again, but this incident can at least prove one thing.

Calia Menethil has a good talent for the Holy Light, otherwise she would not have been favored by Alonsus Faol, who has extremely high standards for apprenticeship.

Let's see who Faol's disciples are.

The eldest disciple Uther won the title of Lightbringer in the Second World War, and his name is well-known throughout the Eastern Kingdom.

Saidan Dathrohan is the deputy head of the Knights of the Silver Hand, a grand crusader, and his combat effectiveness is still higher than that of Uther.

Tirion Fordring, a representative figure who was not well-known among the first-generation paladins in the early days, but a late bloomer, the famous second-generation Ashbringer, and the greatest contributor to rebuilding the Knights of the Silver Hand after the demise of Lordaeron.

Benedictus... this one is more controversial.

In the first half of his life, he was worthy of the name of Archbishop of the Stormwind Kingdom, but later he went astray under the whispers of the ancient gods, stood on the opposite side of the defenders of Azeroth, and became the notorious Twilight Bishop.

Turalyon, this one is even more heavyweight.

In the original history, the five heroes of the expeditionary force headed by Turalyon voluntarily stayed behind in the broken Draenor.

During this period, Turalyon and Alleria strayed into a trap, were thrown into the Twisting Nether, and were lucky enough to be picked up by the Army of the Light.

Following the Legion of the Holy Light and fighting the Burning Legion in the Twisting Nether for thousands of years, Turalyon was recognized by Zela, the Mother of Light, and became the first human being cast by light.

In addition to the above-mentioned official disciples, Faol also has a named disciple who is also a member of the first generation of paladins, Gavinrad Doom.

Gavin Ladd is the general of the Stormwind Kingdom. After the Stormwind Kingdom was donated by the orcs, he followed the regent Anduin Lothar to **** the young prince Varian Wrynn to Lordaeron to take refuge in the north.

war

After the war ended, Gavin Ladd declined the retention of good friends such as Terenas and Uther, and resolutely returned to the Kingdom of Stormwind to assist the new king Varian in rebuilding the motherland.

According to the barrage, here is another turning point in time different from the original history.

In the history known by the barrage, Gavin Ladd did not return to the country with Varian, but stayed in the Knights of the Silver Hand, and finally died at the hands of the fallen Alsace.

Sharlayan didn't know the reason for the change, and didn't bother to investigate further.

Changes in the timeline can't be explained clearly even by the Bronze Dragon who possesses the power of time. Sharlayan doesn't want to be like Nozdormu and stun himself.

The Backlight Blade members who stayed in Stormwind Kingdom sent back a piece of information last year.

After learning that there was another change at the Dark Portal, the elderly Gavin Ladd volunteered to sit in the Fort Watch in the Damned Land.

Before leaving, he formally handed over the military power of the Stormwind Kingdom to King Varian, who was growing up, to take charge in person, assisted by Duke Bolvar Fordragon.

According to the barrage, after Alonsus Faol was awakened by the natural disaster, he was just a zombie for a long time. It was not until the Frozen Throne was injured by Illidan that he regained his will.

Sharlayan was thinking about a problem.

Anyway, Faol will be pulled from the grave by the Scourge in the future. Instead of letting him waste a precious time without doing anything, it is better to wake him up with spiritism in advance.

Sharlayan: "It's strange to say that Archbishop Faol, an important person who can produce a lot of mental energy, was not pulled into the Shadow Realm by Kyrian in advance?"

【It's really weird when you say that. 】

[The Shadow Realm only appeared in a very later version. Many settings are forced to eat books, and it is normal to have mistakes and omissions. 】

Ravens can be seen everywhere in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Although it is a little strange that the eyeliner who is hiding in the dark and watching Calia also flies into the palace, he doesn't take it too seriously. Put it in carefully.

After entering the palace complex, Sharlayan could no longer fly in the sky.

After getting Jialia's permission, he slipped into the other's wide cuff and turned into a petite snow-white cat again.

"Suck~"

After entering the relatively confined space, Sharlayan smelled the familiar and stronger fragrance of roses, and subconsciously took a deep breath.

Jia Liya could clearly feel the hot air blowing from her sleeves to her chest, and a blush unconsciously appeared on her face as flawless as white jade.

"Don't...don't blow, itchy."

[Fuck! Sharlayan! Let go of that girl and let me do it! 】

[Smell a woman? 】

[Xiao Sa, take her down! Make Lordaeron part of Quel'Thalas! 】

[Grass, Terenas is always calculating other human kingdoms, if Lordaeron is also taken by this strong claim, it will be interesting. 】

【Terenas: The clown is actually me? 】

Sharlayan: "Cough~"

Sharlayan really just acted subconsciously~www.mtlnovel.com~ and didn't think as deeply as the barrage said.

"That's enough of you guys. I'm here to talk about business, not to flirt with girls. Be more serious."

【Yes~ Everyone is a serious person, so when will you start "doing business"? 】

Saray didn't bother to pay attention to the barrage that was still driving, and poked his head out of Jialia's cuff to look left and right.

Just when Sharlayan thought that he would reach the destination in a short time, Calia's body suddenly stopped, and the perspective of Sharlayan's eyes moved down obviously, as if she was squatting down to salute.

"Father, I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that your physical condition has improved a lot."

"Hiss~"

Sharlayan took a deep breath, and Calia's body trembled slightly in excitement.

'Oh my god, how did you meet this old man by such a coincidence? '
