Chapter 63
Medivh is back?
This is not a rare thing for most of the nobles and mages of the Stormwind Kingdom. In fact, not many people worry too much.
The mighty Guardians of Azeroth will have no security issues at all. And it is not the first time that he has disappeared without a word in recent years and traveled alone.
So when Medivh came back, everyone's reaction was just 'oh, he's back'.
The focus of everyone's attention is Duke instead.
It's very simple, for everyone, Medivh is more like a mortal looking up at a glory above the clouds, which is beyond reach.
For the past year, the idol of all the commoners, and even those nobles who have gotten along badly, has been the self-made Duke.
The youngest mage of the earth, a member of the royal family of mages, the king who ruled the ocean off the west wilderness, the undisputed master of the pearl route, the inventor of Chanel perfume...
So many halos are all on the head of the same young man.
Rumor has it that King Lane has decided to bestow the title of Sir Duke. For Duke, who was born as a civilian, this is definitely a step up to the sky. At least the nobles see it that way.
Thanks to Duke's development of the pearl route in the past year, it has provided the Stormwind Kingdom with a large amount of additional tax dollars. Even though Ryan has greatly favored Duke, the tax of nearly 100,000 gold coins still knocked Ryan's tax officer dizzy.
Not only the city walls of Stormwind City are being repaired, but even the Stormwind Fortress that has not been repaired for many years is also stained. The masons at the masons union are thanking Duke for his greatness.
Originally, Duke was not qualified to attend the New Year's banquet, but Ryan and Anduin jointly sent an invitation to Duke.
Saturday, eight o'clock in the evening.
Outside the Stormwind Fortress, one after another carriages slowly approached. The carts were pulled by mighty and tall horses, the backs of which alone were nearly as tall as a person.
The coat color of each horse shone with a healthy luster, and almost every horse hair was combed neatly, and even the manes of some horses were arranged into braids.
All kinds of carriages, no matter whether they are luxurious and elegant or low-key and exquisite, have obviously undergone some renovations, and many carriages can still smell the smell of freshly painted paint.
The family crests of their own families are engraved on conspicuous places outside the carriage, and each family crest symbolizes their history and glory.
Under the watchful eyes of the Stormwind City guards in brand new armor, beautifully dressed noble gentlemen and ladies got off the carriage and stepped onto the long red carpet. Some of them entered directly under the guidance of the messengers, but most of them greeted each other at the gate of the majestic Stormwind Fortress.
A small circle, obviously abnormal.
"Master Fortagan, I didn't expect you to come so early." A middle-aged man saluted a young man with brown-red hair and wearing a black tuxedo. Other nobles around him also hugged the young nobleman. Very respectful attitude.
Because he is the Patriarch of the Feitagen family, one of the several major families in the Stormwind Kingdom, Bolvar Feitagen who inherited the duke position at a young age. And his mother is a very famous noble daughter in the upper class of nobles in the whole kingdom.
Bolvar returned an elegant salute to the nobleman: "Yes, Earl Caton, I heard that I could see the 'Sea King Duke' today, so I came here early."
Earl Caton couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, because the Brando family was his vassal, but he immediately changed the topic and talked about other things.
Unfortunately, all the recent big topics in Stormwind City can't get around one character——Duke Marcus.
"I heard that King Wrynn and Lothar agreed that Duke Marcus would come to the banquet with his own special carriage. I would like to see what kind of carriage it is." I don't know which nobleman mentioned it, but the result That is, all nobles can't help but cast their gazes into the distance.
Then, they finally saw a strange 'carriage'.
"My God, what is that?"
On the inner city canal that traverses the entire Stormwind City, a boat floated that was not a boat, and a carriage was not a carriage.
It is not a ship because it has no prow and stern at all.
Said it wasn't a carriage because it moved on the river.
If you have to say what it looks like, it is more like a sedan chair. Because it is supported by four huge male Naga.
If it was on a normal day, such a strange car would have been attacked by the Stormwind guards long ago. But no one will attack them today, because there is also a coat of arms engraved on the carriage, which is branded with arcane magic, and it is absolutely impossible to counterfeit the coat of arms.
The outer ring is a purple circular magic circle, and the middle is a spiral lightning that symbolizes arcane magic. The overwhelming arcane radiance revealed that the owner of the carriage was sitting in the carriage.
This is the coat of arms of Norton, the respected old mage of the Royal Academy of Spells.
Juxtaposed with this coat of arms is a coat of arms that the nobles have never seen before.
The pattern is very simple, it is a blue storm like a tornado.
Carried by four majestic Naga, a coachman wearing a standard Stormwind trainee knight uniform sat in the front. This strange 'carriage' followed the canal and arrived in front of Stormwind Fortress. On the small pier of the fortress, Naga swayed their huge snake tails, and proudly carried the 'carriage' to the long red carpet in the fortress welcome hall.
The guards of Stormwind City stood on both sides without any special expressions. Obviously, they had been notified earlier.
Some people recognized that the coachman was the well-known knight candidate Reginald Windsor.
The car was gently put down, and Wen De Sole jumped down lightly and opened the door.
Under the watchful eyes of the nobles, a black-haired young man wearing a blue-and-white mage robe with gold trim came down first, and then greeted a tall middle-aged woman in an elegant beige evening dress with an impeccable posture. .
She has long golden hair coiled behind her head, and her facial features are not exquisite, but she gives people a very attractive and comfortable feeling. She is the Elizabeth Jones that all the noble girls in Stormwind City like to deal with.
The second one to come down was the old mage Norton holding a staff.
However, the focus of people's attention still fell on Duke.
Seeing the four majestic Naga carrying the 'carriage' away and standing in the driver's queue with Windsor, a group of nobles were really surprised and a little funny. So the huge Naga should be considered a coachman? Or is it a 'horse'?
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Duke Bolvar's mouth: "What an interesting guy."
At this moment, suddenly, a strong arcane energy exploded in front of the red carpet, and a magic circle with a diameter of four meters suddenly appeared.
After a brief arcane flash, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared.
Guardian of Azeroth - Medivh!
