The Dark Portal Year 2, 11th of February. In the Dalajan, Antonidas was feeling very angry.
That's right, after he was cursed by Gul 'dan last year, he was the first to study the power of curses. However, as more information on Orc Warlocks and Orc Death Knights was brought to the Dalajan, Antonidas suddenly realized that this was a taboo that humans should not touch.
In the middle of last December, after an emergency discussion by the six-member Kirin Tor Council, they voted five to one to seal all information on necromancy. They sealed everything and locked it in the Violet Library. They announced this decision to the entire Dalajan.
The matter should have ended there, but in early January, Antonidas received a report that zombies were found in the frozen fields near the Dalajan. It was obvious that this was the work of a mage. Although the experimental subjects were just lab rats, these zombified animals caused the farmers around them to feel very uneasy. It also affected the reputation of the Dalajan mages.
Antonidas ordered the mages to investigate this matter thoroughly, but to no avail.
There could only be two reasons. One, the person who did this was so clever that he could hide from the surveillance of the entire Dalajan and even the Kirin Tor Council. Two, this person was most likely a high-ranking mage in the Dalajan who used his power to hide everything.
In his office, Antonidas glared at his secret agent, "Necromancy must be banned!"
It was very simple. Although the Dalajan also had a school of Necromancy, the mainstream values of human society rejected the existence of Necromancy. Therefore, it was inevitable that the mages who were obsessed with necromancy were incompatible with the values of the Dalajan.
Antonidas could not ignore the opinions of the majority for the sake of a single mage's experiment.
At this time, the guard brought news of Duque's visit.
"Tell him that I'm busy!" Previously, when Duque poached a large group of mages, he did receive a large number of unique magic books. However, they were all toy magic books with no practical value. There wasn't even a single valuable book that slipped through the net.
There was a saying: When the water is too clear, there are no fish.
Obviously, Duque had gone through a strict selection process.
Antonidas looked like he had been tricked, and now Duque was here again.
The guard showed an awkward expression: "But Sir Marcus wants me to tell you that this is a matter of great importance to the Dalajan's thousand-year reputation and survival!"
Antonidas was shocked. He had dealt with Duque before. Of course, he knew that Duque was not the kind of person who did not know what was important. If he could say such serious words, it could only prove that Duque really had something important to tell him in person.
"All of you, get out and let Duque in."
Soon, only Antonidas was left in the room.
Duque pushed the door open and entered.
"Marcus, your information better be as important as you say it is. Otherwise, I won't forgive you. Of course, if you are a friend of the Dalajan, the Dalajan will definitely not be stingy in returning the favor. "
This was Antonidas' little trap. If Duque asked for a return, then it was definitely not a big deal. It also proved that Duque was not sincere enough.
Duque waved his hand: "It doesn't matter what the return is. What matters is what I show you. Look. "
Duque took out a soul imprisoned in a magic device.
After quickly reading the information in the soul, Antonidas' face suddenly changed: "She didn't mention who it was. This may also be a false accusation."
"No, it just so happens that I know who he is." Duque took a deep breath: "Sorry, in fact, I have a talent – the talent of Detect Evil. When I first saw Medivh, I found that there was a powerful demon possessing Medivh. At that time, I kept silent because I had no evidence, and even if I said it, no one would believe me. "
Antonidas was silent for a moment.
He knew about the battle between Duque and Medivh. Why was it that so many people could not find out that Medivh was possessed, but Duque found out? This was a mystery that no one had solved.
Now, Duque solemnly told him that everything he said was true. This gave Antonidas a bad feeling.
"In fact, before I came, I took the opportunity to visit some high-ranking Dalajan mages, and I finally found my target …"
Antonidas' face was already frosty: "Duke Marcus, do you know what you are saying?"
"I know what I am saying. I want to invite the Archbishop of the Holy Light, Alonsus Faol, here. He will provide evidence for my accusations. But before that, I strongly suggest that you contact the two councilors, Krasus and Kael 'thas. You are indeed powerful, but even you can't guarantee that you will be able to keep him here. "
"Alright!"
On the 12th of February, Kirin Tor Chairman Antonidas summoned all the Kirin Tor councilors and reserve councilors.
"For the upcoming war with the orcs, we need to meet again to discuss the arrangements."
It was a very reasonable reason.
No one suspected that there would be any problems.
But when all the councilors arrived at the magic conference floating in the sky above the Dalajan city, they suddenly realized that the situation was a little strange. For daily affairs, the six-member council was the highest decision maker. Unless it concerned the life or death of the Dalajan, or a change in the council, there would not be any back-up councilors.
This time, the three back-up councilors sat in the spectator seats.
When everyone had arrived, the Archbishop of the Holy Light, Alonsus, the Alliance's Deputy Commander Duque, and Paladin Uther arrived, filling the conference room with an ominous feeling.
The magic circuits in Antonidas' body circulated, surging mana spilling out of his body. The temperature of the entire conference room dropped by a full ten degrees.
The aged Breaking Dawn Wizard slammed his hands on the magic table in front of him, causing a loud bang to ring out.
"First of all, please take off your masks. As the chairman, I, Antonidas, declare that we do not need these things today."
Although they did not know why, they still did as they were told. They were not supposed to take off their magic masks in front of outsiders. The three back-up councilors, two men and one woman, were all passersby that Duque did not know.
Antonidas placed his hands on the table, exuding an aura like that of a ferocious tiger.
His voice shocked everyone present, "There is a traitor among us! A traitor who colludes with the devil! "
Once these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
"Devil!?" Kael 'thas and a few others stood up in shock.
What the hell! There was actually a traitor who colluded with the devil in the Kirin Tor Council!?
