"Fang Bian, that's it. Let's leave the report as it is for the time being."
"Well, then I'll take my leave first."
"etc."
"Um?"
"Actually, I'm having a bit of a problem."
"Master, please tell me."
"Someone asked me about some relationship issues and I was stumped."
"..."
"You also know that I have very few friends in my life, so I cherish this friendship very much. It bothers me that I can't solve the problems of my friends who ask me for help."
"Your Majesty, I am your personal magic consultant, not your emotional consultant..."
Fang Bian even changed his title and was about to turn around and leave, but Carlos grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
Carlos' eyes were sincere and domineering, and the curve of the smile at the corner of his mouth could be that of a dear or a mother.
"Young Master, have you lost your mind due to the war and are you asking me for advice on relationship issues? I am thirty-four this year. The last time I had a breast in my mouth was thirty-three years ago. You asked me what love is?"
Yan Yi's face is summed up in one sentence: I am a virgin!
"Uh...aha?!"
"Ah, what the hell? Once you enter the Dharma Gate, you will be as deep as the sea. From then on, you will fall in love with strangers, want to hug you from left to right, and want to be strong. How can such a good thing happen? Please let me know if you please."
Fang Brick spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey, okay then, I'll ask someone else."
Carlos loosened Brick's collar, and then wiped it pretentiously, leaving sweat marks on the fine silk collar.
Fang Bian bowed and saluted again, left Carlos' temporary office, and closed the door behind him.
"Haha, I have a friend..."
The boss's emotional problems, as the younger brother, whoever touches the other will be unlucky, the Archmage couldn't help but laugh, and left without looking back.
Putting aside the topic of "how do I have a friend?", Carlos is actually not as entangled and melancholy because of emotional problems as he imagined.
Because I'm busy.
If time is the best medicine for healing pain, then work is the most effective analgesic.
Because many mages have sent invitations to him, many magic businessmen who think they have talent, achievements and potential hope to get orders from the Kingdom of Alterac or attract investment from the Barov family through Carlos.
The trip to Dalaran, which was originally regarded as a transitional break, unexpectedly but reasonably turned into a semi-formal event similar to a "non-state visit".
For this reason, Antonidas had to send additional manpower, turning the original covert surveillance and protection into an overt guard.
Then Carlos became really arrogant and refused Kel'Thuzad's offer to change his residence.
The Kirin Tor were not a good organization either. Traces of surveillance magic were found in the temporary residences they found through Jaina. Who knows how many pinhole cameras... magic was hidden in the mansion prepared by Kel'Thuzad.
In a sense, the orcs also helped Carlos. Because Dalaran is located on the shores of Lake Lordamre, it has been an independent city-state for more than a thousand years. Ever since the descendants of the Arathor Empire left Stromgarde and headed south, it has been the financial and trade center of the human world. Even though the old city was destroyed by the war and the new city has not yet been completed, the reborn Dalaran is still the financial and commercial center of the human world.
Terenas also used tricks in private to try to replace Dalaran with the city of Lordaeron.
However, people like Terenas who are powerful in governing the country were also hit hard by the invisible wall of air in this matter.
Therefore, moving from the old site of Cross Islands to the new Dalaran on the east coast of Lake Lordamre gave Alterac many potential benefits.
Although in Carlos's eyes, his own Alterac is a small country that is not as prosperous in commerce as Tilkuras, its territory is not as vast as Lordaeron, and its population is not even as large as Gilneas.
But in fact, the human world, including Dalaran, which has a slightly weird existence, has a total of seven kingdoms. The King of Alterac is still a fierce man with outstanding military exploits. He is a successful person who has proven his worth. He is worthy of reaching out. To hug the thighs.
So Carlos' work is actually very busy.
He was so busy that he was still receiving guests before going to see Kael'thas, so he didn't even have time to take a shower. He just changed into new clothes and went out in a carriage.
Therefore, even though Kael'thas's mysteriously superior old butler only twitched his nose a few times, Carlos was inexplicably very unhappy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince's laboratory is a very confidential place, so your subordinates cannot enter. Your Majesty Carlos of Alterac, please understand our difficulties."
Standing next to Kael'thas' old butler were four cool-looking elf shield-wielding guards. Although Carlos had never seen them before, he recognized them at a glance - the Spellbreakers!
"We can't go in? Are you asking His Majesty the King to be alone..."
Carlos quickly interrupted his men's speech. If you want to ask for help, you should act like asking for help. It's not impossible to say harsh words on other people's territory. At least you must have the confidence to beat others. Saying harsh words to a great mage's mage tower is just asking for humiliation.
"It doesn't matter. As Prince Kael'thas is a great magister, nothing unexpected will happen in such a small scene."
Carlos directly changed the topic and settled the matter.
The old housekeeper nodded slightly, clapped his palms three times, and the two spellbreakers recited a spell. A bright but not dazzling light beam appeared in the middle of the hall floor, from the floor to the ceiling.
"Your Majesty Carlos, please, His Majesty the Prince is waiting for you."
"Wait, what to do with the stuff?"
Carlos's personal guards couldn't help shouting when they saw that these high elves had no intention of moving.
However, none of the five high elves present responded.
The scene was frozen for about ten seconds. The guards' eyes were almost red. Some of them were impatient and already put their hands on the handles of their sabers.
Carlos did not speak. He took two steps back and took the sword box containing the sword of Ashkandi Brotherhood from his subordinates. He put it on his shoulder and hugged the large wooden box containing the remains of the four flails with his other hand. Realizing that something was not taking advantage of him, he raised the frame on his shoulder and walked towards the beam of light without saying a word, like a migrant worker moving bricks.
Before stepping into the light curtain, Carlos avoided the sight of the high elf and glanced back at his subordinates. His eyes were extremely sharp and his meaning was simple and clear - bear with me!
Then, after a slight trance, Kael'thas heard an exclamation.
"Carlos, how did you..."
"Um?!"
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting because your request was a bit...so I took two extra days to prepare."
Kael'thas took three steps at a time and trotted to Carlos's side. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to take the sword box and hold it in his arms.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Carlos also felt the slightly apologetic sincerity.
As a result, the anger hidden in Carlos' heart was instantly cleared.
No wonder Garithos made trouble after the blood elves were in trouble, but no one spoke up for the blood elves. Arrogance is really the biggest original sin.
After unloading the burden, Carlos noticed what Kael'thas' laboratory looked like.
Then he was shocked.
This tmd is called a magic laboratory?
This is probably a demi-plane!
Outside the magic barrier with a radius of about five hundred meters, the stars shine and the birds sing and the flowers smell fragrant.
Within the magic barrier, various rare and rare magical things shine with an almost brilliant aura. In a projection circle in a fire source, a huge bird is sleeping soundly.
"This is my pet, O."
Kael'thas followed Carlos's line of sight and introduced proudly.
