Sarlayan and Valeera are both new here, and apart from the conflict with Slack, who was obviously just an ordinary mage, they probably haven't offended anyone yet.
Based on Valeela's description, it is speculated that the black-robed female mage should have nothing to do with Slack. She was causing trouble for them for other reasons.
Some big shots in the barrage conducted some analysis and discussion based on existing clues, and tentatively gave three possibilities.
1. The black-robed female mage is related to Slack, but the connection between them has not been discovered yet.
Second, the black-robed female mage is related to Sarlayan's enemy in Quel'Thalas. She had known for a long time that he would come to Dalaran to contact Prince Kael'thas, set up an ambush in advance, and hired a group of cannon fodder to come and test.
Third, the black-robed female mage and the forces behind her have no direct grudges with Sarlayan and Valeera, but the two's appearance in Dalaran may interfere with the forces' plans, so they sent people to test in advance so that
Make real-time adjustments to follow-up plans.
Among the three guesses, Sarlayan instinctively preferred the third one.
The first guess is the least dangerous, but also the least likely.
The second conjecture does have some possibility.
But now that the war in Quel'Thalas has just ended, and all the major families are busy dividing the cake, Sharlayan does not think that they will give up the huge benefits at hand and send people to hunt him down.
If it's the third type... it means that Sharlayan and Valeela were unknowingly involved in the undercurrent within Dalaran.
If we think about it further, from a clear point of view, the only person who has a direct interest relationship with them is Prince Kael'thas, who is of the same race.
"Is it a power struggle within Dalaran..."
Valeela has been very smart since she was a child. Sarlayan just used intuition to start the conversation, and she followed this line of thinking and thought of a series of subsequent possibilities.
"Forget it, there's no point in making random guesses."
Shaking her head, Valeela put aside these uncertain conjectures for the time being.
"Anyway, let's go to the Tower of Sunlight first to ask for an audience with His Highness the Prince."
"If this seemingly ordinary attack is really related to the internal struggle in Dalaran, we should be able to get some information from Prince Kael'thas."
…
"Salayan Deep Shadow, Valeera Sangunar, welcome you, my compatriots."
On the upper floor of the Tower of Sunlight, there is a luxurious living room decorated with gold-red carpets and purple transparent gauze curtains.
A handsome high elf man warmly welcomed Sarlayan and Valeera.
This male high elf is the only legal heir of Quel'Thalas, the only son of Sun King Anasteria, Kael'thas Sunstrider.
Sarlayan had only seen Kael'thas's portraits before, and he looked more handsome than those paintings.
Her long blond hair, without a trace of variegation, was naturally spread over her shoulders. She was wearing a decent rose-red robe, and her blue eyes were as calm as lake water. At this time, they were looking at the two people in front of them with kindness.
Distinguished guests from homeland.
Sharlayan and Valeera greeted Kael'thas politely.
"No need to be polite, come on, sit down quickly."
Although he has not yet received any contact from Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas has already guessed that these two people were sent by his father to convey the latest information.
Kael'thas has been restless ever since he learned that Quel'Thalas had been invaded by the Horde.
He is confident in the kingdom that he will inherit in the future, at least Silver Moon City will never be breached.
But having witnessed the brutality and powerful fighting power of the orcs with his own eyes, Kael'thas was worried about the safety of his people living throughout the Eversong Forest.
Unfortunately, since the Battle of Quel'Thalas began, Dalaran has lost contact with the High Elf Kingdom.
Kael'thas sent his men to Quel'Thalas many times to investigate the situation, but due to the impact of the successive Battle of Quel'Thalas and the Defense of Lordaeron, the spies he sent out could not successfully cross the battlefield.
.
Alleria Windrunner, who passed through Dalaran not long ago, sent a message, describing the current situation in Quel'Thalas after the war.
Knowing that the damage suffered by the people of his motherland was not too serious, Kael'thas finally let go of his worries.
But Alleria was busy chasing the orcs, and many parts of her oral message were not described in detail.
Now that his father's envoy has finally arrived, Kael'thas can't wait to learn the details of the Battle of Quel'Thalas.
"about this point……"
Valeela took out the encrypted letter that she had prepared, held it in both hands and handed it to Kael'thas.
"Your Highness, this is a letter sent to you by His Majesty."
Business was more important. After receiving the letter, Kael'thas temporarily suppressed his curiosity.
"Aisas."
"Here, Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
Hearing Kael'thas's call, a male mage with short brown hair walked in from the door.
"Help me entertain the two distinguished guests. I will go back to my room to read my father's letter first."
"yes."
Watching Kael'thas return to his room respectfully, the elf mage known as Aethas politely smiled politely at the two of them.
"You two, please come with me. I'll have someone arrange accommodation in the tower for you first."
…
Viewed from the outside, the mage towers in Dalaran have similar styles, they all look like thin bamboo poles soaring into the sky.
But in fact, most of the interiors of archmage-level master towers have been expanded using space spells, and the usable area is much wider than it seems.
In barrage terms, the Sunshine Tower is like a luxury apartment. The closer to the upper floors, the higher the price.
The guest room that Aethas arranged for Sharlayan and Valeela was located two floors below Kael'thas' residence, and one floor above was the floor where Aissas and other prince's attendants lived.
Aethas Sunreaver, like Kael'thas, is an archmage.
He was the prince's chief advisor when he was studying in Dalaran, assisting in taking care of all Kael'thas's life and study needs, and was equivalent to the great butler of the Tower of Sunlight.
Aesas has followed Kael'thas for decades and is already familiar with the prince's preferences and habits.
He could see that Kyle Ayres valued these two guests from his hometown, and of course he would not show off in a pretentious manner.
After arranging the room, Isaacs dutifully took the two of them around the Tower of Sunlight and informed them of the areas in the tower that were accessible and not open to the public.
"Huh~"
Back in his room, Sarlayan lay stretched out on the soft big bed, looking at the purple gauze curtain hanging above his head, letting his thoughts go and he was lost in thought.
The barrage finally recovered from the riotous state after seeing Kael'thas himself. Although there were still many female viewers crowing irrationally, the normal communication environment had generally returned.
"Judging from Kaizi's enthusiastic attitude, it seems that he hasn't seen guests from his hometown for a long time. I thought the Sun King would often send people to contact him."
"No, just think about it and you know it's not realistic."
"Anastria sent Kael'thas to Dalaran to protect him. She will definitely keep her son away from the attention of the four nobles as much as possible."
"Contacting Kael'thas frequently will draw attention from those people, which is inconsistent with his original intention of keeping Kael'thas low-key."
"No wonder Kael'thas is so excited. I wonder how he will react after learning about the current situation in Quel'Thalas."
"Be patient and continue watching. This meeting may lead Kael'thas to embark on a completely different path from its original history."
