Walking along the long corridor of the Storm Fortress, Duque and Norton were not in the mood to admire the gorgeous corridor. Even though the murals in the corridor were so exquisite and the gold ornaments so gorgeous, what they noticed was that every guard of the Wang Family had changed into a set of armor for the battle.
As the guard of honor of the Wang Family, every guard had a set of armor that was specially used for ceremonial purposes. The exquisite carvings, the long cloak, and the bright blue tassel on the helmet were all eye-catching, but Lothar, who knew soldiers very well, knew that every restraint on the battlefield was a fine line between life and death.
What's more, there were so many of them.
This set of armor was extremely simple and unadorned. Not only was it convenient to move around, but even every pattern was hand-painted with paint. It was not the kind that would create a "whoosh" in the air when it was waved around. Purely for the sake of aesthetics, a robe that could be torn apart easily was worn over the armor.
The guards' eyes were filled with vigilance, and they even prepared spare lanterns at their feet.
The Storm Fortress was a fortress that was both a palace and a fortress.
When they reached the deepest part of the fortress, Duque was shocked to find that in addition to the 16 strong guards of the Wang Family standing guard in front of the gate, there were also two mages with strong magical waves.
Sky Mages!
Sky Mages were actually here to guard the gate. One could imagine how much Medivh's move had agitated Laing.
Seeing that Bolvar had brought Duque and Norton over, one of the guards took out two scrolls. One of the mages gently tapped on the scrolls, and two holographic portraits immediately appeared in the air.
It was the portrait of Duque and Norton!
Under the bright light, eight guards stared at Duque and Norton with their eyes wide open for a full five seconds, and then nodded at the same time to let them pass.
Almost at the same time the gate opened.
Duque and Andoine heard the argument between Laing and Andoine.
"Thoradin The Great above, Andoine, are you allergic? We've known Medivh for more than 30 years. "
"Just because we've known him for more than 30 years, we all think he's in danger? Right now, not only the two of us, but also all the guards and nobles present were blind and insane. They were all seeing an illusion. Or did something happen to Medivh!? "Andoine was equally furious as he glared at King Laing.
"Then all the more reason why we should look for the Medivh and ask him, instead of doubting him like a despicable villain!" Laing slammed his fist on the hard long table.
"Did he respond to your call? Your Majesty! Did he respond to you when you showed him the king's token to summon the guardian in your magic message? In the past, no matter how much he traveled alone, there would always be a magic reply! " Andoine's hair and beard fluttered in anger. Like a lion with its paws on the table, he roared at the king mercilessly.
At this moment, an old man beside Laing, who was also wearing a court mage's robe, interrupted, "There's no problem with the magic transmission. It's the guardian who refused to respond."
Laing was suddenly speechless. He slumped on the throne and rubbed his brows in annoyance. Then, he saw Duque and Norton, who were led into the inner palace by Bolvar.
"Alright, let's put the news about Medivh aside before we confirm that there's a big problem with him. Now, I know Mage Norton's wisdom. Then, Andoine, can you tell me why even Sir Marcus was invited? "
Anduin Lothar seemed to have restrained his temper. He glanced at Duque thoughtfully. "Because I realized that the moment the black hourglass appeared, his reaction was the most unique among everyone present."
Laing frowned. "Alright, let me ask again. Now, apart from Duque, who else here knows what this black hourglass is? Does it symbolize something? "
At the table, there were ten white-haired old men. Some of them were publicly acknowledged as wise men, some were historians, and some were knowledgeable old mages. Then, everyone took another careful look. Even Norton shook his head.
In the next moment, all eyes were focused on Duque's face.
Duque knew he was in big trouble.
That's right, he was the only one who knew the truth. If his deduction was not wrong, this was the hourglass that would become famous in later generations. It was the hourglass that marked the opening of the Dark Portal for the first time and the orcs' invasion of the Azeroth Continent.
But, could he say it?
Publicly accuse Medivh, the childhood friend of the king and the head of the military, the strongest mage in the world, and the guardian of Azeroth, of having his soul taken over by Sargeras?
One step earlier, you're Superman!
One hundred steps earlier, you're a demon, and you'll be burned at the stake.
Before transmigration, was this rare in the Middle Ages? Copernicus proposed the heliocentric theory and was burned to death. If he, Duque, was burned at the stake, who could guarantee that he wouldn't be discovered after his resurrection? Wanted by the Seven Kingdoms at the same time?
After thinking for a long time, Duque raised his head and said in a low voice, "The moment I saw the hourglass, I saw an illusion."
"Illusion? What illusion? "
At this moment, Duque invited the Oscar to possess him.
At this moment, Duque was a fraud! He was a prophet!
His voice became ethereal and ethereal. "Ominous! Death! And war! "
Everyone knew that this hourglass was evil. But death and war, these two words were serious. How long had it been since there was a real war on the continent? In the north, there were conflicts with the trolls every year. Most of them were small conflicts with a few dozen people. Sometimes, a sentry post was smashed or a border station was attacked.
But there were no battles with more than a thousand people.
Why did Duque mention the word "war"?
"The illusion I saw only lasted for a short moment. It was a heroic Stormwind soldier being smashed into meat paste by a huge monster with a hammer larger than my body."
As soon as Duque finished speaking, an old man mocked, "Are you sure you didn't see your Naga?"
This was already a personal attack.
Duque immediately put him on the Brando family's kill list, but his tone was still humble. "I'm sorry, it was a giant monster with two arms and two legs, just like you. But you can only reach his waist. "
Without saying anything more, Duque bowed to the king.
If not for the Medivh's insolence, this would have been a slander.
Laing looked at Andoine, but Andoine spread out his hands. "Look, I'm not the only one with such a premonition of danger."
At this time, Bolvar Fordragon also stepped forward. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt."
"Speak."
"At that moment, I also felt Medivh's contempt and hostility towards Your Majesty and the entire kingdom."
