Jaina, who had settled in Dalaran for quite some time, gave her own judgment, and Sharlayan then sought the opinions of Onyxia and Stellagosa.
After combining the opinions of several people, Sarlayan finally made a decision to forgive Modra for the offense against the high elves on behalf of the Sun King Kael'thas Sunstrider.
After removing the last obstacle, Antonidas finally felt relieved to welcome Modera back to the Kirin Tor Council to fill the vacancy left by Kel'Thuzad's departure.
In addition to Rommath, who returned to Silvermoon City to contribute to the reform cause of his motherland, five Kirin Tor councilors gathered together, and Jaina was also allowed to observe.
Even a blind person can see that Antonidas intends to train Gianna with all his strength and push her to the top before he retires. Naturally, no fool will stand up and accuse her of overstepping the rules.
Sharlayan also participated in the meeting held in the Violet Castle. The focus of the discussion was Kel'Thuzad, who had "abandoned" Dalalan.
Kel'Thuzad's identity is very sensitive and is related to an important plan for Sharlayan's future.
Apart from Antonidas and Ronin, only Jaina, who knew part of the information, had some vague guesses.
'Perhaps Kel'Thuzad's expulsion was not that simple. '
After Kel'Thuzad left Dalaran, he traveled around the world.
He had only recently arrived in the Tanaris Desert in southern Kalimdor. He planned to take a quick tour of Uldum, and then take a boat from South Harbor back to Treasure Bay at the Cape of Stranglethorn Vale.
According to the information received by the Kirin Tor Council, Kel'Thuzad had transformed himself into a lich. In the eyes of some, this was undoubtedly a desecration of life.
However, the councilors present are not fools. The ban on the study of necromancy is just to prevent Dalaran from being attacked in terms of ethics and morals. It is not that they really have any prejudice against necromancy. This is not in line with the spirit of mages seeking knowledge even if they seek death. .
Honestly speaking, the congressmen present did not think there was anything wrong with Kel'Thuzad's single-minded pursuit of truth.
But political correctness cannot be exposed, at least on the surface, the attitude must be established.
Just like the anti-racial discrimination law mentioned in the barrage, are there still too few black and yellow people being discriminated against in the country that is the beacon of freedom? It's just superficial.
In the eyes of most of the onlookers who do not know the truth, spiritualism is a desecration of life and corpses.
After all, no one wants to be forcibly pulled up and used as an undead puppet after death, with even their will in the hands of the caster.
Even though Kel'Thuzad has long since disappeared, Dalaran is still filled with voices calling for his extermination.
No matter what Antonidas and others think, Dalaran's attitude against the study of necromantic magic must be correct enough.
Today's meeting is the third time this month to discuss how to deal with the "traitor" Kel'Thuzad.
The appeals put forward by the citizens failed to pass the vote of the parliamentarians the first two times, and the third time will naturally be no exception.
Most mages are refined egoists.
I still have a lot of research to do, so I don't have time to hunt down a lich who doesn't know where it is.
Unless the citizens can provide detailed information about Kel'Thuzad's whereabouts, the Kirin Tor Council will certainly not go through such a thankless task.
The third vote still ended in failure. The councilors were not surprised by this. After the meeting, they each returned to their mage towers to continue their work. Among them, Modera was the briskest.
Due to her own wrong decisions that caused huge damage to Dalaran, Modera was starved of experimental funds and resources in the past few years.
After finally gaining Quel'Thalas's forgiveness and returning to the Council, Modera no longer wanted to be the leader. She just wanted to complete this difficult research project as soon as possible, and then start a big project to regroup her influence.
What? Ultranationalism? I have already charged once, and I have shown all my kindness to the organization. Please ask someone else.
Even if you are gathering wool, you can't always catch the same sheep, right?
After the Kentorri vote, Sarlayan was invited by Antonidas to his mage tower for a private discussion.
What they were discussing now was not just rhetoric, but related to Kel'Thuzad's real mission.
Antonidas handed drinks to the people present and asked Sarlayan solemnly: "Are you sure that the Lich King will target Kel'Thuzad? If your prediction is wrong..."
Sarlayan shook his head: "Believe me, it won't happen."
"The Lich King's soul is sealed in the eternal ice. He has no body and cannot personally join in to cause trouble."
"Ner'zhul is just an outsider to Azeroth and is not familiar with this place."
"To gain a foothold in Azeroth, the Lich King needs a capable agent through whom to implement his will and execute the plans formulated by the Burning Legion."
Luo Ning frowned and asked, "But isn't this the danger of raising tigers?"
"Even if Kel'Thuzad can stick to his original intention at the beginning, in the face of many psychic secrets thrown by the Lich King, can Kel'Thuzad, who has become a lich, really firm his will and stand on the side of the living?"
"Psychic secrets?"
Sarlayan laughed and shook his head: "Ner'zhul has a damn secret psychic technique. The two or three attacks he learned from the Skull of Gul'dan are nothing more than flying bricks with great strength and relying on his own strong spirit. Forcefully bend the will of others."
"When it comes to psychic secrets... I definitely taught Kel'Thuzad more than Ner'zhul, and I also made him an offer he couldn't refuse."
Jaina, who was allowed to observe, finally understood Sarlayan's plan and confirmed her previous guesses.
She tilted her head curiously and asked, "What's the condition? Haven't you already helped him transform into a lich?"
Sarlayan shook his finger: "That's just a deposit."
"I promised Kel'Thuzad that when he returns from completing his mission, I will send him to the Shadow Realm, the destination of all the dead in the universe, and ensure that he can return in both directions."
Even Kyrian, who has always been passive and slow in his work, would give priority to individual heroes like Kel'Thuzad who contain a lot of psychic energy.
But under normal circumstances, once Kel'Thuzad was thrown into the Shadow Realm, he could never come out.
Sharlayan controls Zloth, the Blighted Realm between the world of the living and the Shadow Realm. Through this intermediary world, Kel'Thuzad can travel between Azeroth and the Shadow Realm at will.
And this condition is something that Ner'zhul, that half-baked lich, can't meet no matter what.
Even though Ner'zhul calls himself the Lich King, the old orc only knows a few tricks of necromancy, and he doesn't know as much as Orfa, the Great Thornspeaker.
What's even more funny is that these psychic spells were all developed by Ner'zhul's apprentice Gul'dan, and they have nothing to do with him. Ner'zhul is just copying the gourd.
"The Shadow Realm..."
Antonidas sighed with some longing: "I have also heard about this world. I wonder if I will have a chance to go there and see it after I die."
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows: "If you are not afraid of being caught by the Arbitrator as a stowaway, I can send you to the Shadow Realm now."
Antonidas waved his hand hurriedly: "Forget it, I haven't lived enough yet. It's better to experience the world of the dead slowly after death."
"Back to business."
Antonidas straightened his face and asked, "When do you expect the Lich King to contact him?"
"Just like Luo Ning raised the question, are you really not worried about raising tigers?"
Saryan answered Antonidas' first question first.
"The scouts left in Quel'Thalas in Crystalsong Forest have been closely monitoring the situation in Icecrown Glacier."
"The Ice Throne has been built, and the Dreadlord who monitors Ner'zhul is quietly sweeping away the very few Vrykul living in Icecrown Glacier. Ner'zhul plans to turn them into his first batch of subordinates."
"I speculate that it will take at least 2-3 years for Ner'zhul to snowball and accumulate a decent fortune, and that's assuming no one interferes."
Luo Ning shrugged and complained: "How can there be no interference? I don't think the scouts you left in Crystal Song Forest are just for surveillance."
"Tell me, what are you kidding about?"
"Haha~" Sarlayan chuckled and said, "I'll keep it secret for the time being. Let's answer the second question first."
"You are worried that I will cause trouble by raising tigers, so the question is, who is the tiger, and who will the tiger cause trouble?"
"You don't think the Lich King is the so-called tiger, do you?"
"It's a big mistake. The Lich King is at best a 'coyote' for the tiger. The real big tiger is the remotely controlled Burning Legion hiding behind Ner'zhul."
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Sharlayan's mouth: "As far as I know, although Ner'zhul is respectful to the Burning Legion on the surface, he actually resents them very much in his heart. He hates them for destroying the homeland of the orcs, and hates them for using their sweet words to persuade him to commit crimes. Blunder."
"Since there must be a Lich King, what we need to do is to ensure that the Lich King will not fully surrender to the Burning Legion. If he deviates from our plan and takes action on his own..."
"Kel'Thuzad can carry out his ultimate mission."
