Chapter 68
Walking in the long corridor of Stormwind Keep, neither Duke nor Norton was in the mood to appreciate the gorgeous corridor. Although the murals on the corridors were so exquisite and the gold ornaments were so gorgeous, what they noticed was that every royal guard had put on the armor they were going to fight.
As the guard of honor of the royal family, each guard has a set of flowery armor specially used for etiquette. Exquisite carvings, slender cloaks, and bright blue tassels on the helmet, these things can attract attention, but Lothar, who knows soldiers, knows that every bondage on the battlefield is a thin line between life and death.
What's more, there are so many?
This set of armor is extremely simple. Not only is it convenient to move, even every pattern is just hand-painted with paint. Not the kind of piqué that creates a "whoosh" air movement when swung around. Purely for the final appearance, a burqa that can be easily torn off is put on over the armor.
The guards' eyes were full of vigilance, and they even prepared spare lighting lanterns at their feet.
Stormwind Keep - Palace and stronghold in one fortress.
Going to the deepest point, Duke suddenly found that besides sixteen powerful royal guards standing in front of the gate, there were also two mages with strong magic fluctuations.
Sky Mage!
The majestic sky mage even came to guard the door, one can imagine how much Medivh's move has stimulated Ryan.
Seeing Bovar coming with Duke and Norton, one of the guards took out two scrolls, and one of the mages tapped lightly on the scrolls, and immediately two holographic three-dimensional heads appeared in midair.
That's the portrait of Duke and Duke!
Under the bright light, all eight guards stared at Duke and Norton for five seconds, then nodded at the same time to let them go.
Almost the moment the door opened.
Duke and Duke heard the dispute between Ryan and Anduin.
"My Lord Thoradin, Anduin, are you allergic? We have known Medivh for over 30 years."
"Because we have known him for more than 30 years, we all think he is dangerous? Now either the two of us, as well as the guards and nobles are all blind, crazy, seeing a hallucination. Or Medivh is out What's the matter!?" Anduin also blew his beard and stared at King Lane.
"Then we should ask Medivh to understand, instead of doubting him like a despicable villain here!" Ryan hammered his fist on the long hard table.
"Did he respond to your call? My lord! You just revealed the king's token that summoned the guardian in the magical message. Did he respond? In the past, no matter how much he traveled alone, there would be a magical reply! Anduin's hair and beard were furious, like a lion propped on the table with its paws, snarling at the king mercilessly.
At this time, an old man next to Ryan who was also wearing the robes of a court mage interjected: "There is no problem with the magic communication. It is the guardian who refuses to respond."
Ryan was suddenly speechless. He sat slumped on the throne, rubbing his brows in annoyance, and then he saw Duke and Norton who walked into the inner palace meeting room led by Bolvar.
"Okay, the news about Medivh, let's let it go before confirming that he has a big problem. Now, I know the wisdom of Master Norton. Then Anduin, can you tell me why even Sir Marcus was invited ?”
Anduin Lothar also seems to restrain his temper, he glanced at Duke thoughtfully: "Because I found that at the moment when the black hourglass appeared, his reaction was the most special in the audience .”
Ryan tightened his eyebrows: "Okay, let me ask again, besides Duke, does anyone here know what this black hourglass is? What does it symbolize?"
Beside the table, there were ten gray-haired old men. They were either recognized wise men, or historians, or learned old mages, and after everyone looked at it again, even Norton shook his head.
The next moment, all eyes were on Duke's face.
Duke knew he was in big trouble.
Yes, he is the only one who knows the truth. If there is no mistake in deduction, this is the very famous countdown hourglass of the great event of the first opening of the Dark Portal and the invasion of the Azeroth continent by the orcs.
But can he say it?
Public accusations that the king and the leader of the military, the world's strongest mage, and the guardian of Azeroth, Medivh, has had his soul taken over by the leader of the Burning Legion, Sargeras?
One step ahead, you are Superman!
A hundred steps ahead, you are a monster and will be sent to the stake.
Before time travel, there were few such things in the Middle Ages? Copernicus proposed the 'heliocentric theory' and was burned alive. If he, Duke, is sent to the stake, who can guarantee that he will not be discovered after his resurrection? Wanted by the Seven Kingdoms at the same time?
After deliberating for a long time, Duke raised his head and said in a deep voice, "The moment I saw the hourglass, I saw a phantom."
"Illusion? What illusion?"
At this moment, Duke invited the possession of the Oscar statuette.
At this moment, Duke is the magic stick! It is the prophet!
His voice became ethereal and ethereal: "Ominous! Death! And war!"
Everyone knows this hourglass evil, but death and war are two serious words. How long has it been since there was a real war on the mainland? In the north, conflicts with trolls can be said to occur every year. It was mostly skirmishes involving dozens of people. A post was smashed or a border station was attacked or something.
But there are really no battles with more than a thousand people.
Duke came up with the word 'war'?
"The phantom I saw was only for a short moment. It was a heroic Stormwind soldier who was smashed into a meat paste by a huge monster with a giant hammer bigger than my body."
Just after Duke finished speaking, an old man teased, "Are you sure what you saw wasn't your Naga?"
This is already targeted.
Duke instantly put him on the brando family's must-kill list, but his words were still humble: "Sorry, that's a giant monster with two hands and two legs just like you. But you can only see him waist."
Without further words, Duke bowed to the king.
Without Medivh's arrogance, this would have been a slanderous speech.
Ryan cast his eyes on Anduin, but Anduin spread his hands: "Look, I'm not the only one who has such a premonition of danger."
At this time, Duke Bolvar Fortagan also took a step forward: "Sorry, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"you say."
"At that moment, I also felt Medivh's contempt and hostility towards His Majesty, and even towards the entire kingdom."
