Three days ago, in Silvermoon City, High Priest Liadrin was summoned by Sun King Kael'thas.
Liadrin came to the Silvermoon Court quite uneasily. Although she was a priest, she was still aware of the political turmoil sweeping the entire Quel'Thalas.
In this turbulent undercurrent, even the nobles of the kingdom did not dare to act rashly, let alone a priest with no background. She could reach this point almost relying on her own talent and ability.
Perhaps in other places, this is the most reliable help when promoting, but in Quel'Thalas, where classes are solidified, it is difficult for civilians to make achievements in a certain aspect, and excessive talents and abilities will be jealous of others.
Fortunately, the place where she studies the Holy Light may be the most "fair" place in Quel'Thalas. Liadrin, who was raised by the high-ranking priest Vandelor, has been full of enthusiasm for the Holy Light since she was a child.
However, as a member of the priests, although she has attended many important Salas ceremonies, her communication with the nobles is still not that close, let alone the Sunstrider royal family.
She didn't know why King Kael'thas summoned her. Logically speaking, King Kael'thas should be discussing important matters with the magisters of Quel'Thalas at this time, rather than summoning a priest.
The moment Liadrin saw Kael'thas, she looked at Kael'thas with a gloomy face and a bit of depression in surprise.
"It's really troublesome for you to go all the way."
Kael'thas's attitude was beyond Liadrin's expectations. You know, she was just a little-known priest who had only been promoted to a high-ranking priest recently, but Kael'thas's attitude was as if he was receiving One of the most noble Grand Magisters in Quel'Thalas.
Liadrin bowed somewhat flattered, and then replied, "It is an honor for me to listen to your teachings."
"You don't need to be so formal," Kael'thas waved his hand, "It's just you and me here, and we don't need to worry about the complicated tyranny between the monarch and his ministers."
"But..." Liadrin hesitated.
"Okay, if you insist, then listen to me first? I'm really tired of the sanctimonious appearance of those nobles."
Looking at Kael'thas' rather impatient look, as well as his sunken eye sockets and black eye bags, one doesn't know how much pressure the king has endured in recent days.
Kael'thas led Liadrin into the side hall. There was still no guard or attendant in the empty hall. The young Sun King sat facelessly on the sofa, relaxing. Taking a breath? "Liadrin, you are still very young, but you have already made many contributions to Quel'Thalas. Logically speaking, my father should give you a knighthood."
Liadrin quickly replied, "I have become a high priest because of these military exploits."
Kael'thas said somewhat meaningfully, "Do you think your military exploits are really worth the title of a high-ranking priest? Although a high-ranking priest is a respectable status, but compared to the actual nobles of the kingdom, Still a lot worse.
You know, I used to feel unfair for priests, priests, and travelers like you, and felt that my father should give you more rewards, but now? I understand that these heroes should not be allowed to become nobles. A member? There is a reason. "
Kael'thas was silent at this point and did not continue to say what the reason was? Liadrin did not ask, but both Kael'thas and Liadrin knew it well.
Why do those warriors who fight bravely on the front line only get titles such as high-ranking priests and generals? In fact, the rewards they receive are pitifully less than those of nobles.
But now is no longer the time to complain about this. Kael'thas has understood everything. Quel'Thalas needs to break this solidification in order to win new life.
But at this time, Kael'thas discovered that the Sunwell, which they were proud of for their survival, had turned into a huge obstacle. As long as this magical source of magic still existed, it could never be changed. .
Dath'Remar left the Farstriders behind, hoping to counterbalance the inevitable expansion of the upper class and mage class in Quel'Thalas. He imitated the ancient night elf sentry and priest system, hoping to maintain the stability of the kingdom.
But he only saw the demise of the ancient night elf empire because of the Burning Legion, but ignored that the reason for summoning the Burning Legion was that the "Highborne" representing the "Well of Eternity" and "Magic" occupied almost all the dominance. , no matter it was the sentinels, the moon priests or the druids who were still very weak at that time, they were completely unable to shake the rule of the mages.
The power of arcane magic is the core and foundation of the elven empire. The sentinels and priests are just the icing on the cake.
But precisely because of this arcane path that seemed to have a bright future, it led to the demise of the ancient Elf Empire.
Dath'Remar may or may not have understood that the Far Walkers, who existed in imitation of the Sentinels, did form a system corresponding to the mages to a certain extent, but at that time, the Sunwell had not existed for too long. , the magic tradition brought out from the Elf Empire has yet to be revived.
Moreover, Dath'Remar himself is a member of the High Elves, and what he ultimately wants to represent is still the interests of the High Elves.
The existence of the Sunwell has completely solidified this interest. Unless the well is wiped out, no one can shake it.
Naturally, it is impossible for Kael'thas to destroy the Sunwell, which the high elves rely on for survival. Thousands of years of influence have made this well and the high elves completely connected. They cannot be separated or divided.
Destroying the Sunwell is no longer the level of "a strong man cutting off his wrist", but "slashing oneself with a knife".
The only thing Kael'thas can do is to support more forces to maintain the balance of Quel'Thalas.
Farstrider is one, and abandoning Sylvanas is because of the choices and sacrifices that had to be made after the death of the previous Sun King. Only when this "only" ranger general leaves, the mage councilors will not be so nervous. .
Sylvanas' departure gave Farstrider a chance to buffer, and Kael'thas was able to completely take this part into his own hands.
These days, he has basically completed this step, and what he has to do next is to add a weight to his own scale.
After thinking about it, Kael'thas found that he could only look for opportunities in "priests", priests who also used holy light.
And this "opportunity" is Liadrin.
