On February 11, 2nd Year of the Dark Portal, in Dalaran, Antonidas felt very angry.
That's right, after he was cursed by Gul'dan last year, he was the first to study the power of the curse. However, as more information about orc warlock death magic and orc death knights was brought to Dalaran, Antonidas suddenly discovered that this was a taboo that should not be touched by humans.
In mid-December last year, after an ergency discussion by the six-mber Kirin Tor Council, a five-to-one vote was made to seal up all the information on necromancy and lock it in the Violet Library. The decision was announced throughout Dalaran.
The matter should have ended there, but in early January, Antonidas received a report that zombies were found in the frozen fields near Dalaran. Obviously, this was the work of a certain mage. Although the experintal materials were only so mice, these zombified animals still caused great anxiety among the surrounding farrs and had a negative impact on the reputation of the Dalaran mages.
Antonidas asked his mages to investigate the incident thoroughly, but found nothing.
There are only two possible reasons for this: one is that the guy who did this was so smart that he could hide it from the entire Dalaran and even the Kirin Tor Council; the other is that this guy is most likely a high-level mage in Dalaran, and he used his power to secretly conceal all of this.
In his office, Antonidas glared at his spies and said, "Necromancy must be banned!"
It's very simple. Although there was also an academic faction of necromancy in Dalaran's past history, the mainstream values of human society rejected the existence of undead magic. Therefore, it was inevitable that the mages obsessed with necromancy were incompatible with the universal values of Dalaran.
It is impossible for Antonidas to ignore the opinions of the majority for the sake of the experintal demands of individual mages.
At this ti, the guards brought the news that Duke was visiting.
"Tell him I'm busy!" Last ti, Duke recruited a large number of mages, and in the end, he did receive a lot of unique magic books, but they were all toy magic books with no practical value. There was not even a single valuable one that slipped through the net.
To describe it in one sentence: When the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
Obviously, Duke has screened very carefully.
Antonidas looked like he had been cheated, but now Duke ca again.
The guard was clearly embarrassed. "But Lord Edmund asked to tell you that this is a matter of great importance to Dalaran's reputation and survival!"
Antonidas shuddered. Having dealt with Duke before, he certainly knew that Duke was not the kind of person who would not take things lightly. The fact that he could say such serious words only proved that Duke really had sothing big to report to him in person.
"You all get out and let Duke in."
Soon, Antonidas was the only one left in the room.
Duke pushed the door open.
"Edmund, your information had better be as important as you say. Otherwise, I will not forgive you. Of course, if you are a friend of Dalaran, Dalaran will definitely not be stingy in return."
This was a little trap set by the old and clever Antonidas. If Duke asked for a reward, it would definitely not be a big deal. It also proved that Duke was not sincere enough.
Duke waved his hand, "It doesn't matter what I give you in return. What matters is what I show you, you see."
Duke pulls out a soul imprisoned in a magical device.
After quickly reading the information in the soul, Antonidas' face suddenly changed color: "She didn't ntion who it was. This may also be a false accusation."
"No, it just so happens that I know who she is." Duke took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I actually have a talent - the talent of detecting evil. When I first t divh, I discovered that a powerful demon possessed divh. I kept silent at the ti because I had no evidence, and no one would believe even if I told them."
Antonidas was silent for a mont.
He was also quite clear about Duke's battle with divh. Why so many people could not find out that divh was possessed, but Duke did? This is a mystery that no one has solved.
Now, Duke told him solemnly that everything he said was true. This gave Antonidas a bad feeling.
"In fact, I took the opportunity before coming here to visit so high-level mages in Dalaran, and I finally found my target..."
Antonidas's face was already full of frost: "Duke Edmund, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know exactly what I'm talking about. I'd like to invite Archbishop Alonsus Faol to co here. He will provide evidence for my accusations. But before that, I strongly suggest that you contact Senators Krasus and Kael'thas first. Speaker, you are indeed very powerful, but even you cannot guarantee that he will stay."
"good!"
On February 12, Kirin Tor Speaker Antonidas recalled all Kirin Tor senators and reserve senators.
"For the upcoming orc war, we need to hold another eting to discuss arrangents."
A very reasonable reason.
No one suspected that sothing strange would happen.
But when all the councillors arrived at the magic eting room suspended above Dalaran, they suddenly found that the situation was a bit subtle. As for daily affairs, the six-mber council was already the highest decision-maker. Unless it was a matter of life and death for Dalaran, or a change of council, there would be no such thing as backstabbing councillors.
This ti, three back-benchers sat in the gallery.
When everyone arrived, the arrival of Archbishop Alonsus of Holy Light, Deputy Commander Duke of the Alliance, and Paladin Uther filled the conference room with an ominous feeling.
Magic circuits flowed throughout Antonidas' body, and surging magic power overflowed from his body. The temperature of the entire conference hall dropped by 10 degrees in an instant.
The old-looking Antonidas wizard slamd the magic table in front of him with both hands, making a loud "pop" sound.
"First, please take off your masks. I, Antonidas, declare as the Speaker of the House that you will not need them today."
Although no one knew why, and they were not supposed to open their magic masks in front of outsiders, they still did it. The three alternate mbers, two n and one woman, were strangers that Duke did not know.
Antonidas leaned against the table, and the aura he exuded was like a tiger descending from the mountain.
His voice shocked the whole crowd: "There's a traitor among us! A traitor who's in league with the Demon!"
There was an uproar as soon as these words were spoken.
"Demon!?" Several people, including Kael'thas, were so shocked that they stood up on the spot.
What the hell! There is actually a traitor who colluded with demons in the Kirin Tor Council! ?
