Chapter 5 - Getting Lost
…………
"By the way, I seem to have seen Lord Alexandros on my way here today!" Lerain said suddenly.
"What? Lord Mograine? Here?" Beagle looked at him in surprise. Since Nathanos knew about it in advance, his expression did not change.
"Yes, Lord Mograine! But he seems to be holding a wooden box and riding towards the south quickly."
"Looks like he's a really busy man."
Lalane nodded in agreement, "This is really a strange thing."
"Are there not enough strange things?" The dwarf opened an almond with his hands, threw it into his mouth and ate it. "Have you heard of the rumors of the resurrection of the dead?"
Nathanos's face immediately darkened after hearing his words. The dwarf's words sounded alarmist, but they were true, because not long ago, undead suddenly appeared in Lordaeron. Nathanos remembered
The last time I heard this word was during the war, everyone in the Alliance was discussing the death knights of the Horde. It was not until the Horde completely failed and these death knights were eliminated that the messages about the resurrection of the dead gradually subsided. But now, it is obvious that there is some reason
Once again, this topic was brought to the forefront of people's minds. As someone close to Arthas, Nathanos also found out that someone in Lordaeron was indeed studying this evil witchcraft. The one who launched the investigation was the mage from Dalaran.
, but they don't seem to be making any progress now.
Dalaran
Jaina Proudmoore held a magical record book in her hand and strolled through a street. She has lived here for five years, but she is still full of surprises about this city. Everything here is releasing magic.
Energy. Magic is like a smell that everyone here can feel. She smiled and took another deep breath.
Of course, this also includes the fragrance of real flowers in full bloom. The gardens of Dalaran, like everything else here, are permeated with the power of magic. Jaina has never seen healthier flowers, more colorful and vivid flowers than here.
.And what makes her most intoxicated is the various knowledge she has learned here! Jaina feels that she has learned more knowledge in the past five years than she will ever learn in her lifetime. And among this knowledge
Most of them were given to her by her mentor Antonidas. Generally speaking, she found that there was nothing more relaxing than sitting under a clear sky with a cold drink and a stack of magic scrolls beside her.
Things have happened. The second best thing for her is to sit in the Dalaran library, wearing gloves to protect the fragile pages, carefully and carefully studying some textual information that is so ancient that she can hardly imagine it.
But now, she just wants to take a walk in the garden, feel the vibrant soil under her feet, and feel the magical atmosphere here. When she feels hungry, she reaches out her hand and picks a ripe flower that has been soaked by the sun.
Sun-warmed golden-skinned apples, happily enjoy their crisp and sweet flesh.
Then she suddenly felt a little bored and pointed to a squirrel crouching on a high branch, biting an apple, and recited a spell in a low voice. The squirrel immediately turned into a sheep, with a sheep's face
It showed a funny expression of surprise. The branch under it was quickly broken and fell to the ground. Jaina immediately stretched out another hand, and the squirrel sheep stopped in mid-air. The girl
chuckled…
"Why is this damn road more complicated than the palace of Lordaeron?" Nathanos stood at an intersection and looked around at the surrounding buildings. He felt that every shop and every spire was exactly the same. He even suspected that he had been going in circles.
.
A few days ago, Arthas got Terenas' approval and got the opportunity to visit Dalaran. Of course, he also has his own tasks. He has grown up, and the most important thing is that he must learn to deal with some countries
Government affairs. The young prince was also very energetic and decided to visit Antonidas, the leader of Dalaran, to learn some diplomatic methods. Nathanos was also asked to come with him. Then...
……He is lost!
Nathanos never thought that he and Muradin would have such a day, which is why he never entered the city of Dalaran. Fortunately, he and Arthas both changed into the unique violet color here.
Although the mage's robe was a little awkward, it didn't make him look like a fool as he walked around.
"Huh?" He heard the sheep braying, and the sound gave him a sense of intimacy. Who brought the pet outdoors? And it was such a unique pet?
Jaina gently put the sheep on the ground. The little guy made a "baaaah" noise at her and kept shaking its ears. After a while, it turned back into the squirrel with the same confused face. Then
The squirrel squatted down, screamed angrily at Jaina a few times, flicked its big furry tail, and jumped back to the tree.
"You will definitely never see this squirrel again. It will definitely avoid you."
When the girl heard someone talking behind her, she immediately turned around. Just as she was about to ask who it was, she realized that she knew the other person and subconsciously called out the other person's name, "Nathanos?"
"Do you know me?" He looked at the girl strangely. Originally, he was thinking about how to talk to her, and then asked for the correct route to the Dalaran embassy.
Jaina's expression was stunned, "You... don't recognize me? You once took me to a prisoner of war camp to see the orcs."
"Jaina?" Nathanos was a little surprised, and at the same time he felt ashamed of what he had just said and done. He had almost forgotten that this girl from the Sea Kingdom was studying magic knowledge in Dalaran. "I'm so sorry, your
The change is really..." He was thinking about what reasons he should use to explain his mistake. But he really didn't recognize the other party. Except for her blond hair and sparkling bright eyes, Jaina's height and clothing were all the same.
There is no trace of the little girl she once was.
"I can understand, at least you still remember my name." Jaina smiled sweetly. She was also surprised that Nathanos would appear here, but it was obvious that he was not here to find her.
"Thank you. It seems that you are very proficient in magic. Sheep Transformation is a magic that some mages cannot master even after learning it for a long time."
"I'm really flattered by your evaluation." Jaina's face turned slightly red, "Actually, I'm not gifted, I'm just more familiar with frost magic. When I first came to Dalaran, I once used fire
Magic, and accidentally burned a file that was still in the hands of my mentor. Over the next few months, he insisted that I practice fire magic next to the pond that surrounded the prison area. That was really embarrassing.
." She curled a strand of hair in her hand, recalling that incident for some reason.
"Really?" Nathanos laughed twice. This was not a mockery. Every beginner will make some mistakes. It's not a big deal. "After hearing your story, I feel a little relieved. President Antonidas is just
I just punished you for practicing magic, I didn't drive you out of Dalaran. He must be a very talkative person."
"Indeed!" Jaina laughed, and then said impatiently: "I also heard about Grim Batol. It's incredible."
'really!'
The smile on Nathanos' face froze. This is why he didn't go to the local guards to ask for directions after he got lost, because those guards would definitely ask who he was and would ask after learning his name.
Every magician wanted to know the details about what happened in Grim Batol, so Nathanos just wanted to find a passerby to ask, at least the other person would not ask who he was, he would only know that he was
A lost person, but finally met Jaina.
He didn't want to mention that matter. In fact, before he came to Dalaran, he had thought about how he would talk to Antonidas or anyone else with status if he met him. The best way was to remain silent.
, but Nathanos doesn’t think those mages will let him go. Five years have passed, and the Kirin Tor has not relaxed at all about the dragons and the investigation of the Demon Soul. The mages always like to investigate.
past!
The girl's eyes revealed questions and expectations for answers, which made Nathanos very embarrassed.
"That happened five years ago, it's long gone."
Jaina nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Nathanos didn't want to talk about this topic. "I haven't asked you what you are doing here yet? And..." She suddenly covered her mouth to hold back her smile and looked at it.
A look at Nathanos' clothing. "Your clothes...fit you very well."
"Like a funny clown?"
"No...actually, don't mind." Her smile confirmed Nathanos's question and also denied the first word she said.
"It doesn't matter." Nathanos said nonchalantly, and he began to answer Jaina's question just now, "I accompanied Prince Arthas here. His Royal Highness wants to experience the joy of diplomacy."
"Prince Arthas? Yes! I... haven't congratulated him on becoming a Paladin." Jaina seemed unwilling to mention Arthas, and the natural smile on her lips slowly turned fake.
pretend.
"You will have a chance. Today he will attend the return banquet of Elf Prince Kael'thas. You can..."
"No! No! I don't want to see him." Jaina shook her head hurriedly, "I still have a lot to learn." She said troubledly, then turned around and ran away in a hurry, without being disturbed by the skirt at all.
Nathanos shouted several times until the girl disappeared around the corner of the street. "What's going on?" He was confused and didn't want to see Arthas. When Jaina said this, Nathanos paid attention.
See the anger flashing in her eyes.
