Chapter 250 You don’t even want to call me Godfather!
Dalaran.
As the magic capital of mankind, it has entered a period of rapid development since humans learned magic. The short life span makes humans cherish time more.
Therefore, although humans learned magic from the elves, they eventually surpassed the elves.
This also resulted in the high elves, who were originally human teachers, now going to Dalaran to learn magic.
Kael'thas Sunstrider, a high elf prince, is currently living in the city of Dalaran. As the prince of Quel'Thalas and the only heir to the throne, he is also a member of the Kirin Tor Council.
In the original timeline, as a great mage, he had to use the recast Flamestrike to fight Arthas, the Death Knight, in close combat. Although he was also a magician and martial artist, his close combat strength was far inferior to that of magic.
If you insist on using your own weakness to attack the enemy's strength, it is normal that you will not be able to win.
The last king of the high elves was a complete tragedy. He liked Jaina at first, but Jaina liked Arthas. Even after he broke up with Arthas, he still liked orcs and dragons.
This can be easily seen. From the beginning to the end, Jaina likes muscular tough guys instead of the style of Kaizi. Kael'thas's great contribution is that he summoned the phoenix.
Countless men have struggled for countless days and nights for this phoenix mount.
The morning sun shines, and Dalaran welcomes the dawn. At this time, Kael'thas still doesn't know the situation in Quel'Thalas. The invasion of the Undead Scourge and the damage of the Sunwell have cut off the magical communication between Quel'Thalas and Dalaran.
As the prince of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas has full confidence in Quel'Thalas.
But he didn't know that his father had been killed by his old rival Arthas, and he was now an orphan. He even wanted to confess his love to Jaina, but unfortunately, his appearance did not meet Jaina's aesthetic standards.
When Kael'thas went to confess his love with flowers, Jaina rejected him outright and told him that Quel'Thalas was likely to be invaded by the Scourge, and that your people were in the midst of a fierce war, so why are you still here talking about love?
But Kael'thas said that Quel'Thalas was protected by a magical barrier and the undead army was no match for it. Seeing this, Jaina stopped trying to persuade him and packed up her things and left Dalaran.
Kael'thas returned to his residence in a depressed mood. His servants had already prepared lunch for him. As the prince of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas naturally did not live here alone. He was followed by a team of elven servants.
Just as he was about to enjoy lunch, a servant rushed in with another dragon hawk knight covered in blood.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent letter from His Majesty."
"Dragonhawk Rider, how did you become like this? What happened to Quel'Thalas?" Seeing the miserable appearance of the Dragonhawk Rider, Kael'thas felt uneasy.
"Your Highness, Quel'Thalas has been breached by the Undead Army, Your Majesty."
"What's wrong with father?" Kael'thas suddenly stood up, rushed over, grabbed the dragonhawk knight's arm and asked.
"His Majesty has died in battle," said the Dragon Eagle Knight.
"Impossible!" Kael'thas said in disbelief, "Absolutely impossible!"
"Quel'Thalas has a magic barrier and the Sunwell. How could it be breached? You are lying to me, aren't you?"
"Your Highness, Quel'Thalas was breached by the Undead Army, the Sunwell was polluted, and we have a traitor among us. He destroyed the magic barrier, rendering our magic barrier ineffective. The Undead Army took the opportunity to attack, and we are outnumbered."
"This is the order issued by His Majesty the King before he died in battle, asking us to escort a team of Dragonhawk Knights here."
Kael'thas took the parchment scroll, and the order on it was simple, asking him to inherit the Sun King's Court and lead the high elves to survive. At the same time, he was told to get along well with Richard at all costs, and even recognize him as his godfather, ask for help from him, and ask for his help, so that the high elves can have a future.
Kael'thas didn't know who Richard was, but he felt that his father would not write nonsense at a critical moment, and he must know something.
After reading the parchment, Kael'thas immediately went to see Antonidas, the chief mage of Dalaran, to say goodbye. Upon learning the news that Quel'Thalas was destroyed and the king was killed, Antonidas was also shocked and immediately ordered someone to open the teleportation array.
Kael'thas returned to Silvermoon City with his squires and dragonhawk riders.
When Kael'thas saw the intact Silvermoon City and the magic circle that was still running, he felt hopeful again. He wondered if his father had defeated the Scourge at the last moment.
Therefore, he quickly asked the guard of the teleportation array: "How is His Majesty? Did we win?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty the King has died." The guard guarding the teleportation array recognized Kael'thas and said sadly.
"We pushed back the undead, but Quel'Danas was destroyed and the Sunwell was polluted."
A series of bad news made Kael'thas silent. After learning that Sylvanas was in charge of Silvermoon City, Kael'thas immediately went to find her.
"Your Highness Prince Kael'thas?" Sylvanas was very happy when she saw Kael'thas.
"Your Highness, it's really you! That's great!"
At this time, Quel'Thalas had just experienced a drastic change and its king was killed. At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince was able to stand up and calm people's hearts.
Sylvanas immediately gave Kael'thas a noble salute.
"Duke Sylvanas, there's no need to salute. I already know about your achievements. Thank you for defending Silvermoon City." Kael'thas said.
"What is the current situation in Silvermoon City? And what about Quel'Danas?"
"Silvermoon City is relatively stable now. The undead army has retreated. We have sent out search and rescue teams to search for our people in Eversong Forest. We have also sent people to other villages. Quel'Danas has also arranged a rescue team to search and rescue."
"I will take people to the Island of Quel'Danas now." Kael'thas said and prepared to lead his men to set off.
"Your Highness, wait a moment." Sylvanas quickly stopped Kael'thas.
"Your Highness, a search and rescue team has already arrived at Quel'Danas Island. I think you should meet Sir Richard first."
Hearing the name, Kael'thas instantly remembered the letter his father had given him, and hurriedly asked, "Who is Sir Richard?" Sylvanas told him about Richard. After learning that it was Richard's credit that Silvermoon City was preserved, Kael'thas was also shocked. Especially after knowing the several spells he had cast, he had a clearer understanding of Richard's power.
Even with his strength, it would be difficult for him to release a meteor shower of that range, let alone an instant one. Kael'thas speculated that Richard's strength was definitely above that of a demigod, and it was very likely that he was even at the level of a god.
At this point, he finally understood why his father asked him to befriend Richard in the letter, and even wanted him to recognize Richard as his godfather.
"Your Excellency Duke Sylvanas, what do you think of Lord Richard?" Kael'thas said.
"Your Highness, Sir Richard's strength is unfathomable, and he is very friendly to us High Elf people. If we want to rebuild the High Elf Kingdom, we must ask for Sir Richard's help." Sylvanas said seriously.
After hearing Sylvanas' words, Kael'thas said, "Do you think Sir Richard will help us? Or will we have to pay a price?"
"Your Highness, we can say that we have nothing now." Sylvanas smiled bitterly. She had been worried about the departure of Sir Richard during this period. After all, Richard did not have much relationship with the high elves.
Being able to help them purify the energy of Silvermoon City, help them defeat the Scourge, and save Silvermoon City is already the most she can do. She is unsure about bothering Sir Richard again.
"Take a look at this." Kael'thas handed the parchment to Sylvanas. After seeing the contents of the parchment, Sylvanas was slightly stunned, and then looked at Kael'thas.
"Your Highness, this is indeed a solution. If it succeeds, our High Elf Kingdom will surely become glorious again." Sylvanas said seriously, "But this requires the consent of Lord Richard."
"Do we have anything to lose now?" asked Kael'thas.
"No more," Sylvanas said in a low voice. The high elves now have nothing to lose.
"This is our only solution." Kael'thas said, "Let's go and meet Sir Richard together."
"Yes, sir!" Sylvanas brought Kael'thas to the magic tower in Silvermoon City.
At this time, Richard was flipping through the books of the high elves while chatting with Chromie.
Chromie had most of her strength sealed by Richard, so she could only stay here. She had completely given up on escaping because she found that the rune seal on her body was too strong. Chromie knew that she could no longer go out and cause trouble.
At this time, Sylvanas brought Kael'thas to the Mage Tower.
"Good day, Sir Richard." Sylvanas said respectfully.
"Good day, Sylvanas." Richard put down the book and said.
"Sir, this is our Prince Kael'thas of Quel'Thalas." Sylvanas introduced.
Of course Richard knew him. After all, he had pushed him in the book many times for the phoenix mount. In the end, he pushed him hundreds of times before he got a phoenix.
"Hello, Sir Richard, thank you for your help in helping us defend Silvermoon City." Kael'thas said enthusiastically.
As soon as he came in, he sensed Richard's power. As a mage, he had a clearer perception of magical energy and rules. Sylvanas was only guessing, but he could sense Richard's aura as powerful as a mountain.
Even the human guardian Medivh was nothing compared to him. At this moment, he finally understood why his father did that. At the same time, he was also guessing that Richard's true identity was definitely not human, but a true god.
Thinking of this, he no longer had any objection to his father's arrangement. He knew very well that the High Elves were facing difficulties now. Without Richard's help, the High Elves Kingdom would be in even greater trouble, and revenge would be a distant dream.
The people of the High Elves longed for him to step forward and lead the High Elves back to glory, but he was also confused. But after seeing Richard, all of Kael'thas's confusion disappeared.
After everyone sat down, Richard asked directly, "Do you two need my help with anything?"
"Sir, I ask you to help our kingdom of Quel'Thalas," Kael'thas pleaded.
Richard smiled and said, "During this period of time, I will stay in the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas. You can come to me if you have any problems that you cannot solve."
"Sir Richard, I have a request and I would like to ask for your approval." Kael'thas hesitated for a moment and finally said.
Richard didn't say anything, just gestured, "What request?"
"Sir, although I am the prince of Quel'Thalas, I am not proficient in handling government affairs. Even now, I do not know how to lead the high elves to rebuild the kingdom and revitalize it."
"But I am the only one left in the Sun Chaser Court. The people of those kingdoms are waiting for me to lead them to rebuild their homes and move towards revival, but I don't have enough confidence, so."
Kael'thas hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "So I would like to ask for your consent to become my godfather, and also the founding father of the new High Elf Kingdom."
Richard was slightly stunned. What was going on? Kaizi wanted to recognize me as his godfather? He wanted me to be the founding father of the High Elf Kingdom? Richard had originally planned to leave Quel'Thalas after reading the High Elf's collection of books. Now Kaizi wanted to recognize me as his godfather. This didn't seem impossible!
Arthas is a "father's enemy" and a "filial son", but Kaizi is not.
"Sir Richard, His Highness Kael'thas and we all hope that you can become His Highness's godfather and the founding father of the kingdom." Sylvanas also stood up and persuaded.
The bored bronze dragon Chromie next to him almost dropped his jaw in shock. What was going on? The timeline was really going to collapse completely!
"I agree to your request." Richard nodded in agreement. Although the High Elf Kingdom looks miserable now, it is still good to integrate its strength. If the High Elves can abandon their previous habits of enjoyment, luxury, and laziness, they will rise soon.
With such a kingdom as a backing, it would be much easier for him to do anything he wanted in Azeroth. He only needed to say a word, and his subordinates would help him get it done.
"Really?" Kael'thas and Sylvanas had not yet reacted to the sudden surprise.
"Of course it's true." Richard straightened his clothes and said, "You want me to help your kingdom, but you don't regard me as a friend. Until now, you are still unwilling to call me godfather."
"Godfather! Please accept my greeting!" Kael'thas reacted and shouted immediately.
