Chapter 41 - Icecrown Citadel Ten
…………
The vision below was very clear, and Nathanos, who was flying over the Scourge, could already see the outline of Dalaran.
What kind of power can make a city fly in mid-air? Perhaps mortals really cannot spy on the energy of some powerful magic weapons on Azeroth, at least the Eye of Dalaran is one of them.
There are too many secrets in this city and a very complete alarm system. If something approaches from above, it will definitely attract the attention of patrol guards, and Dalaran's guards are all mages.
Nathanos cannot fly to the streets and turn back to his original form, but he can take another path - the sewer of the magic city. The environment is a little dirty, but it can be covered. In addition to mice, the sewer is also a gathering place for many homeless people and unknown merchants, which is like an underground market. It is not surprising that there are any kind of people here.
If the Forgotten One day wants to capture Dalaran, it will become the first target of the offensive, which is really appropriate.
After a few minutes of shuttle, the wither finally found an exit from the sewer. He judged that the situation outside should be close to a neighborhood specializing in chemical agents and alchemy. However, after standing at the entrance of the sewer for a while, he found that his location was not far from Violet Prison.
What exactly is the design of this city? There is no structure at all. If a prisoner escapes in the prison, he can rush into the sewer to escape.
Nathanos pulled his hood disdainfully and prepared to walk onto the street naturally to find the Silver Covenant station. But he just stepped out of the dark tunnel and immediately took it back. There was a group of people on the street, who happened to pass by. The leader was both herself and the child holding hands by her, which made Nathanos feel uneasy.
Aurelia Windrunner, she is also here. At this moment, the Regent of Quelthalas is wandering around a pet shop under the escort of several Rangers. Ranger General Wenleza is also here, and she and Aurelia are smiling as an elf boy playing with various animals in the pet shop.
Nathanos poked his head out curiously and did not immediately retract his gaze. Aurelia and Wenleza are both excellent rangers, and it is easy to detect that someone is monitoring them. However, Nathanos is not watching them, but the elf boy.
His child's birth is no longer a secret. What Nathanos didn't think of was that time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the child was almost half the height of his mother.
Has the child known his father? Nathanos heard the spies in Silvermoon City say that Belorel inherited the surname of the Wind Walker family, and the Regent seemed to be working hard to erase all the information about her human husband.
Thinking of this, the painful memories seemed to come from the shadow of the sewer. The wither leaned against the inner wall of the entrance, waiting patiently for Aurelia and the others to leave. The process was really tormenting, and only the vague hearing of your child's tender laughter could relieve his pain. Maybe one day they will recognize each other, maybe not for that day.
"Belorel, it's time for us to leave, it's time to return to the Temple of the Sun Reaper."
The child was quite obedient and had no special nostalgia for the pet shop. His vigorous appearance should be well protected.
"May your life be as hopeful as your name, child." Nathanos murmured, and he quickly walked through the streets as everyone's eyes turned away from him. Aurelia had already told him where the Silver Covenant was stationed. Since the blood elves were heading towards the Temple of the Sun-Snatcher, the Silver Covenant must be on the other end of the city.
Aurelia, who was about to return to the base, suddenly stopped. Her heartbeats very quickly, with the feeling of uneasiness. The Regent looked back and saw that the street they had traveled just now was still familiar with each other, and there was no change.
"What's wrong, sister?" Wenlesa asked.
Aurelia frowned, "I seemed to feel an extremely familiar aura. It was just for a moment, and then disappeared."
"Is it my second sister?" Wen Lesa thought to herself that Aurelia was the only person who was extremely familiar with in Dalaran, but the Regent shook his head and denied it.
"It won't be her. If it were Sylvanas, she wouldn't have been hiding." Aurelia closed her eyes and adjusted her thoughts for a moment. She was a little upset, because the first voice in her mind called out her husband's name at the moment she turned around. This was really ridiculous. Nathanos had been dead for many years, and she had seen it with her own eyes. For so many years, she had always dreamed of her husband in her sleep, but Aurelia was good at hiding her secrets.
Perhaps it was Belorel's growth that made me miss my old friend more and more. The female elf took a deep breath to comfort herself, smiled slightly and said, "Maybe it was my illusion."
The process of sneaking into the Silver Covenant was smoother than it was, but Nathanos had not found the place where Sylvanas was. And from several soldiers who were talking, they learned that their general was not in Dalaran at this moment.
‘Did you guess I'll come to her?’
Nathanos searched for the base and was surprised to find that there were a large number of siege weapons gathered here. What’s strange is that these weapons were not placed in the open air environment, but were hidden in the largest building. These things made Nathanos a little excited. At present, there was only one place in the alliance that could use siege weapons - Ice Crown Fortress.
‘It seems that the league is also actively preparing for the war.’
After another search, the Withered Man successfully sneaked into the heavily guarded outer wall and found a living room on the wall.
The living room is quite neat, but there are traces of movement, such as the cushioned chair without returning home, half a pot of herbal tea left on the table, and two cups with tea slags left.
The wither took one of the cups and sniffed it. After careful observation, he saw a faint lipstick mark on the inner wall of the cup. This should be the cup that Sylvanas had drunk; the other one was suspicious. No matter how fragrant the tea leaves were, it could not cover up the decay of death. There was only one Forsaken who was sent to Dalaran in the near future, and it was the commander of the Dark Rangers' troops.
"Veronara!" Nathanos sat on the chair closest to him, looking at the teacup that was drunk by the Dark Ranger. The reason he was not angry was because he was uncertain whether Veronara's behavior was considered betrayal.
Sylvanas must have known his identity and also won over his Ranger Force commander, but the female elf did not do anything to hurt him or the Forgotten, and she saved his life today.
