Chapter 174 Day 2
"Hey, hey, hey, Yuvel! Didn't you hear what I said?"
Millhouse & Manastorm watched as the silver-haired Covenant enforcer with the receding hairline stepped forward and made threats, completely disregarding him. As a member of the Kirin Tor council, he immediately rebuked this presumptuous fellow.
Yuvel's smile faded upon hearing this, and he nodded in realization. "Master Millhouse, we've heard what you said. However, the laws of Dalaran stipulate that any evil creature entering Dalaran must be monitored and subject to judgment..."
"This undead is a spy. We failed to capture him at the main gate; someone let him in. So please don't act on your own; he's a wanted criminal of the Silver Covenant!"
Although Yuval's attitude was respectful, it carried no small amount of threat.
Milhouse, being straightforward, pulled Lorraine behind him, his short frame shielding her...
He angrily rebuked Yuvel: "Is the Silver Covenant not bound by the laws of Dalaran? The laws of Dalaran are all made by the Kirin Tor Council. I'm vouching for them now, and you still dare to talk nonsense? The Silver Covenant is far too presumptuous!"
Yuvel quickly replied, "Master, we're all doing this for Dalaran, for humanity! Please don't be confused..."
"Human? Heh, I think you're the worst kind of human! Watch me tear your mouth apart... Damn bald head! You dare to provoke me? I was only away for a few years, imprisoned in that damned barrier, and I've finally returned today. Now, even the little brats of Dalaran dare to challenge my authority..."
Millhouse & Manastorm were furious, and Lorraine was momentarily confused about the situation.
This dwarf mage is truly amazing... his hair is completely white, and his beard is all white; he's probably really quite old. However, Yuvel is also a middle-aged, balding archmage, yet Millhouse treats him like a child. Yuvel secretly grits his teeth.
"That's a madman! That dwarf old man talks too much nonsense... Why is it that everyone always stands up for this necromancer?!"
Milhouse seemed to be arguing with the Silver Covenant members to protect Lorraine. While acting strangely, he genuinely appeared to be safeguarding Lorraine's safety.
Lorraine couldn't see through him at all... but this short archmage was definitely stronger than the human mage with the receding hairline... in terms of both aura and status, he was far superior to the latter.
Dalaran's status is earned through strength...
The Silver Covenant is not a ruling party; they are more like a loose alliance within Dalaran.
The Sun Reapers are much the same...they are the representatives of non-human races...
The Silver Covenant is a group united by a shared belief in serving the interests of humanity. The Sun Reapers, on the other hand, are more inclined to uphold the increasingly marginalized traditions of elven mages and to ensure fairness and justice for minority groups...
Of course, both factions claim this in name only, but in reality, they are closer to the Alliance and the Horde, respectively.
The Kirin Tor is the true ruling body of Dalaran.
The council members of the Kirin Tor are all powerful and prestigious archmages. Regardless of race or gender, their selection is based primarily on strength and contributions; council members can be of any status, race, or age.
Millhouse is a member of the decision-making body of the Ancient Wizarding Council... It doesn't matter whether he is human, or a senior or genius among dwarves, he is the true holder of magical power.
In Dalaran, the Kirin Tor wields absolute power and dominates the mage community... Only elites from the Violet Eye, the Sunreavers, and the Silver Covenant are eligible to run for council seats...
Archmage Atal'ar, Arugal, and the magical cat—these seemingly powerful figures Lorraine encountered—were actually just minor, marginal characters in Dalaran, far removed from the center of power...
Millhouse & Manastorm belong to no faction. He and his spouse have been wandering for a long time. He has become fascinated by the flying space fortresses of Outland and wants to delve deeper into the mysteries of the floating fortresses.
The gnomes possess an intense thirst for exploration; they are fascinated by novel mechanical gadgets. During their research, the Millhouse couple are unexpectedly trapped in Tempest Keep for many years... They have been imprisoned in the anti-magic prison of the Netherstorm...
I only managed to escape and return to Dalaran today...
Millhouse possesses a status and influence that ordinary mages do not have... simply because he is one of the high-ranking members of the Kirin Tor and a core fighting force.
Their return carries important news and a mission!
The high-ranking officials of Dalaran were gathered, each exuding an air of authority... The mages returned from the void portal, each looking dashing and heroic. This scene was indescribable, shocking Lorraine and almost making him forget his own predicament...
This was what Lorraine envied and longed for, though he couldn't quite articulate whether it was freedom or success. In his past life, it was a dream he had strived for—that legendary status, position, respect, and power...
All he wanted was to become a respected grandmaster, free and unrestrained, looking down on all others.
For example, the dwarf in front of him, though small, was as majestic as a mountain!
A small body contains enormous energy.
.......
"Alright, step down, Yuvel, go home! This is none of your business..."
Before Millhouse could really lose his temper, some of the big shots who had followed Jaina's teleportation began to speak up.
The speaker was none other than the youngest of the legendary Windrunner sisters, wife of Rhonin, the High Priestess of the Kirin Tor Council in Dalaran, a Ranger-General of the High Elf Farstriders, and the current leader of the Silver Covenant: [Vereesa & Windrunner].
Compared to Jaina's curvaceous figure, Vereesa is rather slender, fair-skinned, and thin, with her pointed elf ears tied even higher...like a proud little white rabbit!
Vereesa is more like an eagle. Her ranger attire, leather armor, quiver, short sword, and longbow all embody the traditions of elven archers...
The members of the [Wanderers] organization have long been intertwined with human society, fighting alongside human expeditionary forces. They were once envoys and hunters sent by the Elven Empire... Unconsciously, their attitude towards humans has become much gentler than that of their elves, who prefer to define status based on the strength of their royal bloodlines...
After the destruction of the Elven Empire, Prince Kael'thas should have inherited the throne of Quel'Thalas. However, seeing Silvermoon City half-destroyed and without the Sunwell's magical power, the Elven Empire existed in name only...
The high elf exiles craved magic more than anything else; without the Sunwell, they seemed to have lost all hope.
For this reason, Kael'thas did not hesitate to side with the Demon Hunter Illidan!
The Sunwell was created because it originated from a few bottles of water from the Well of Eternity that Illidan had kept hidden away... Those bottles were small; just a few drops were enough to create a Sunwell. The prince simply wanted to regain power and glory...
However, some of the prince's people believed that he had abandoned the dignity of the high elves and sided with the devil's henchmen, thus desecrating the traditions of the elves.
These were once members of a wandering, independent force, dedicated to fighting demons and elves... but after the empire crumbled, they too became lost...
The travelers journeyed far and wide, choosing to join the Alliance, the precursor to the current Argent Covenant... Humans initially did not have hunter or ranger classes; they were all apprenticed under elves...
Just as Dalaran was founded by the first hundred human mage apprentices taught by the elves... the Silver Covenant imparted archery and other knowledge to humanity...
"Oh my, the city lord's wife is becoming more and more beautiful..."
Jaina chuckled softly, extinguishing the light emanating from her staff, and praised the elven beauty. A hint of mockery flickered in her eyes...
In response, Vereesa rolled her eyes at her, though the elf's eyes themselves sparkled like jewels.
They both have their own merits, but Jaina seems to fit Lorraine's aesthetic more...
"Alright, our genius magical girl. Business comes first. I've received word that everyone's back... Hey, who's this handsome blue-haired young man? Could he be Kalecgos, the one Lord Krasus mentioned?"
Jaina nodded, but she didn't elaborate... This dragon's identity was quite unique; the Blue Dragonflight was now an enemy of Dalaran, or more precisely, the Blue Dragonflight wanted to exterminate all mortal spellcasters. The Blue Dragon mage Kalecgos's position was rather awkward...
However, he was indeed on Krasus's side. Lord Krasus was one of the six oldest councilors of the Kirin Tor, a noble and talented red dragon mage, consort of the Red Dragon Queen, teacher of the current councilor Rhonin, and the guardian dragon of Dalaran...
The red dragon race, representing the primal force of life, has always had members who lean towards humanity...
It must be said that humanity is a race blessed by the gods...
Immediately afterwards, the city lord's wife's gaze fell on Lorraine, and at the same time she frowned and warned Milhouse... "Old man, you stop too, we should talk about serious matters!"
Upon seeing it was Vereesa, the latter could only shut up for a moment... He quietly approached Lorraine and whispered, "This woman is not easy to deal with... Kid, good luck..."
A dwarf mage's soft reminder reached his ears... Lorraine was dumbfounded again.
