Mystic Wizard in Azeroth

Soon Pealer led Aristophanes away from Thoradin's Wall and headed towards Stromgarde.

"Since Fadil Lothar, a descendant of Emperor Thoradin, left, only the military nobleman Trollbane is left in Stromgarde." Falle said to Aristophanes on horseback, "Although we manage The land near Arathi, but as you can see, there are not many people here."

Aristophanes understood, but even so, the road became more crowded as they approached Stromgarde.

At a fork in the road Falle led him south, and soon a magnificent fortress appeared at the end of the road.

Aristophanes looked into the distance and saw the red flag of Stromgarde flying in the wind, and he vaguely saw a clenched fist on it.

"That is the banner of House Trollbane," said Farrar, "and the banner of Stromgarde now."

At the gate of the castle, the two met the current king of Stromgarde and the leader of the Trollbane family, Farrer's father, Aaron Trollbane. In Aristophanes' eyes, the human being in front of him was about 1.9 meters tall, like a general rather than a king, wearing a red and white war robe and armor, without a helmet, and with thick red hair.

Aaron was also shocked when he received the letter from his son, but he quickly calmed down. After thinking about the countermeasures, he estimated the time, and then led his guards to welcome the two at the gate of Stromgarde.

At this moment, he was also looking at the dismounted elves. Unlike the Quel'Thalas elves he had seen before, the elves in front of him had shorter ears and a taller body. They had short hair, which is rare among elves, and their pupils were also smaller. Not blue like arcane but showing blue-purple.

"I salute you, son of Fadil Lothar." Aaron greeted Aristophanes first.

"Sinu a'manore, I salute you, Your Majesty the King," replied Aristophanes.

Aaron and Farrar were taken aback when they heard the words, and exchanged glances. Aaron said directly, "Your Highness, can I see that badge?"

Aristophanes took out the badge and handed it to Aaron. He stroked it for a while, then turned it over, looked at the words on it, and sighed.

"Come with me, Fadil broke with the nobles in the city about two hundred years ago and led the people who were loyal to him to leave here. It was only a few years ago that we learned that Fadil's descendants had established a country in the south. And those nobles also chose to leave Stromgarde and go to the north, where there is a fort built to commemorate the death of General Lordan."

Aristophanes followed Aaron into Stromgarde, and the bustling crowd gathered together along the way, and they walked through the crowd into a smaller castle.

"Fadil Lothar and my grandfather are lifelong friends. When he chose to leave, my grandfather was very sad." Aaron walked and talked, leading Aristophanes into a room in the castle, "This Put away the badge, and rest here first, and tomorrow I will ask Farrah to take you to the former site of the Lothar family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the King." Aristophanes replied, "But is there any record of the history of Emperor Thoradin or the Lothar family?"

"Later, I will ask the maid to send you the records of the Lothar family, but I am just a backup here, and the complete one has been taken away by Fadil."

"thank you very much."

Soon Aaron and Farrar were meeting in the lobby.

"Father, is he really?"

"It should be true. According to your great-grandfather's dictation, Fadil told him that he gave his badge to an elf. Take him to the old site of Lothar's house tomorrow. There should be more detailed clues there."

In the evening, Aristophanes was looking through the records of the Lothar family. From Thoradin's unification of the Arathi Highlands to Fadir Lothar's abandonment of Stromgarde and his choice to go south, the entire 1,600-year history is condensed in this book header record.

"Tuk tuk."

"Enter."

"Aristophanes, are you busy?" Farrar came in, holding a dinner plate in his hand, "This is a specialty of Stromgarde, Arathi highland goat meat, and Fadir sturgeon soup, hurry up and try it Look."

Aristophanes put down the book in his hand, got up and took the plate and sat down to eat.

"what about the taste?"

"It's delicious. The roasted lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sturgeon soup is very fresh, with silver leaf grass in it?"

Farrar gave a thumbs up: "Expert!"

Aristophanes smiled, and said while eating: "Okay, if you want to ask anything, just ask, I am embarrassed to hear your praise."

Farrar scratched his head, and then asked, "Is it so obvious? Well, then I'll be blunt. What do you think of Trollbane's rule of Stromgarde, or Arathi Highlands?"

Aristophanes took a gulp of the fish soup, then wiped his mouth, and said, "I don't think so much. I came here just to resolve my mother's last wish. As for the unification or division of the Arathor Empire, who is the ruler of Stromgarde?" I don't care if Trollbane or anyone else."

"Didn't you come to take over Stromgarde?"

Aristophanes laughed: "Accepting Stromgarde? What good will it do me? Besides, you forgot my blood?"

Fale also came to his senses at this moment, how could a half-elf become the leader of the human kingdom? Except for the deviant spell researchers in Dalaran, the rest of Kul Tiras, Alterac, Stormgard, and Gilneas, one of which counts as one, is impossible to accept, and the same is true for Stromgarde .

Thinking of this, Faller breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and packed the dinner plate, and said, "I will come to you tomorrow morning and take you to the old house of Lothar on the east side of the city."

Aristophanes nodded and watched him leave the room.

Early the next morning, after Farrar and Aristophanes ate the special velociraptor meat breakfast of Stromgarde, the two rode their horses and moved quickly towards the east of Stromgarde.

"In front is Lothar's old house, Aristophanes." Farrar pointed to a large courtyard in front of him.

"Is there anyone else in there?"

"Fadil took away most of the family members, and left behind are old people with handicapped legs and feet. The last person died more than a hundred years ago and was buried in the Lothar family cemetery behind."

The two of them opened the door and walked into the yard while talking. Weeds were overgrown inside, and the dilapidated small building was covered with vines.

Aristophanes looked around, and then walked into the house, which was empty and contained nothing.

"Look slowly. I'm going back first. If you have any questions, go to the guard at the gate." Farrar saw that Aristophane's expression was not very good, and walked out after speaking to him.

Aristophanes did not speak, but walked upstairs first, and found that the upper floor was also very dilapidated, and there was nothing in the bedroom, and the sunlight shone through the dilapidated windows, making it look a bit bleak.

Then he planned to go to the basement. Looking at the dark stairs, he waved the staff in his hand and lit the torch on the stairs leading to the basement, and then walked down.

Contrary to Aristophanes' expectations, the air in the basement was very fresh, not like it had been closed for a long time and no one came.

Aristophanes used his secret energy to release two lightning balls and hung them on the top of the basement, and then began to search carefully with the sound of "cracking".

Finally found a depression in a corner, he looked at the shape, then took out the badge in his hand, and pressed it lightly.

A "click" sounded, and a secret door opened. Aristophanes walked to the dark hole, and then controlled a lightning ball to fly in.

With the blue and white light, he saw that there seemed to be a table inside, and felt the magic wave on it, and there was an empty shelf behind it.

Then he walked to the table, and there was a magic treasure box on it.

He had seen this kind of treasure box in Dalaran before, and bought one for Alleria and the others. People usually use it to keep keepsakes or more precious things, and it is difficult to use external force to destroy it.

Aristophanes was a little curious, this kind of thing is very precious, why did he stay here on purpose before leaving. He reached out to pick it up, and found a line of small characters engraved on the table: Ms. Bai is the key, and the blood of the Great Emperor is the key.

He wrote down this sentence, studied the sealed treasure box, and put it in his backpack.

Then he let go of his perception again, and left the basement after finding that he hadn't missed anything.

At the entrance of the tomb at the back of the house, Aristophanes hesitated for a while, but still did not go down. He looked at the stone sculpture at the entrance of the tomb, sighed slightly, then turned around and walked straight out of the old house.

The two Stromgarde guards waiting at the door hurried up after seeing him come out and asked, "Master, have you finished your shopping?"

Aristophanes nodded.

"Prince Faleigh asked us to wait for you here and wait for your orders."

"Go back, I don't have anything else to look at."

That evening, Aaron Trollbane invited Aristophanes to a dinner at the castle. But it was a castle dinner, and there was only Aaron's family, including Farrar's mother, his brother and sister.

"You said you wanted to go to the Kingdom of Stormwind?" Aaron Thorbane asked while cutting the lamb chops on the plate.

"Yes, Your Majesty the King. Since the Lothar family has settled down to the south, I still have to meet them."

Aaron took a bite of the meat, and then said to Aristophanes who was sitting on the side: "In about three days, a Kul Tiras fleet will set off to the south, and you can find their steward in the trade area. .”

"OK."

"The pier is under the cliff in the southwest of Stromgarde. Let Farrar take you there."

"No need, Your Highness Aaron, I'll just go there with the Kul Tiras caravan who lives in the city."

------------Dividing line-------------

Two days later, Aristophanes said farewell to Faller at the gate of the trade zone.

"Have you really stopped living for a while? After all, you are also the direct heir of the Lothar family, and Stromgarde is also your home."

Aristophanes smiled and shook his head: "No need, my home is in the north, not here. Manage this land well, Fale, the Arathi Highlands are fertile land."

Farrar nodded and said nothing more.

"Elf boy over there, are you ready?" A rough voice came from a distance.

"At once!" said Aristophanes, taking Adelina's reins from Farrar. "I am going, Farrer, Shorel'aran."

"Farewell, Aristophanes!"
