Menethil's Power

Chapter 287 The Beginning of Apocalypse
The social interaction between young aristocratic women is always a bit procrastinated. After Rhona and Jaina chatted for a while, the farmer Old Pete walked in excitedly. He was carrying a huge tray with a piece of fluffy, just Kao Hao showed golden yellow bread, and the whole room was filled with an attractive sweet fragrance.

"The first loaf of bread baked with new wheat! Come and taste it, two honorable ladies!" The farmer's bushy face was full of smiles.

Lorna took off the knife on the tray, cut off a small piece of bread and chewed it slowly in her mouth, "This is the best bread I have ever eaten." She praised very sincerely: "There is a very special sweet taste .”

Can the wheat grown with arcane crystals be delicious?
Obviously Rona also recognized this problem, "But Jaina, if you need such a large amount of magic materials to grow these wheats, then they may not meet our needs..."

What she said was already very euphemistic. In fact, it was just a batch of wheat that was spent at such a cost. Even a basically mindless ogre would think it was very stupid.

"The harvested wheat will of course have a greater effect." Jaina hurriedly explained: "I named it 'Golden Hope,' this batch of newly harvested grain should be used as seeds, and each one contains magical energy , can directly improve the environment of a piece of soil, thereby greatly increasing the yield of surrounding crops."

"Your consciousness is that these seeds should be scattered and planted on all our arable land?" Rona understood the most effective way to use them in a moment, "But this year's wheat will mature in two months..."

"This batch of seeds can also grow into a full-grown plant within half a month. Two months should be enough for them to double the food production of the Gilneas Republic." Jaina said confidently.

"This is really... miraculous." Rona couldn't help sighing, "That is to say, if we invest in a batch of magic materials and plant a batch of 'Golden Hope' every year, we can directly obtain several times the food output?"

"Yes."

Rona pondered for a while, "Gilneas thank you for your selfless sharing of such a vital technology." She said sincerely: "We will sow this batch of seeds as you said, and if it succeeds, you will be Gilneas... no , the hero of the entire league."

This is something within the rights of the actual manager of the Crowley family. There is not much arable land in the Silver Pine Forest. Even if there are problems with these seeds, the loss is within an acceptable range.

"Hero? I can't afford it." Jaina blushed slightly, "'Golden Hope' is the result of my mentor's research, and I just did some auxiliary work at the end of the development."

"A great mage like Lord Kel'Thuzad still cares about the common people. This has to be said to be the luck of the entire human race." Lorna said sincerely, she had no idea how "correct" her words were.

When the serious business related to the country and politics was finished, the atmosphere obviously relaxed.Rona's attention quickly shifted to the kitten that Jaina had been holding in her arms. This cute little guy seemed to feel a little uncomfortable. It turned its lower body, and the cat's claws dented the youthful plumpness of the young mage's chest. piece.

"This is..." Lorna couldn't help asking, she had seen many cute pets, but felt that this cat seemed a little special.

"This is Mr. Bigworth, the mentor's pet, and I'm taking care of it now." Jaina introduced.

"It's really cute." Little stars began to appear in Rona's eyes. After all, almost no girl would be indifferent to a little fur ball. "Can I touch it?"

Because she helped the family take too many responsibilities prematurely, Lorna has always wrapped herself in a strong shell, but at this time there is a gap in this shell, revealing the true temperament of a girl.

"Of course," Jaina said, "but it may have a bad temper."

Jaina's worries did not come true. This time Mr. Bigworth showed a rare and well-behaved attitude. It didn't seem to mind Lorna's touch, and enjoyed the girl's soft palm.After a while, it shook its head away from Lorna's petting, and "meowed" twice at Jaina.

Having been a shit shovel officer for several years, Jaina certainly understood what this meant. Mr. Bigworth was going to have afternoon tea.She skillfully took out various things from her package and started to prepare. It was still a combination of goat milk and blue fish, but for the convenience of preservation, the blue fish had been made into dried fish.

No matter how cold and cold he was before, Mr. Bigworth inevitably showed a stupid and cute look when eating due to the restrictions of his own race.It grabs the dried fish with its two front paws, and starts to eat it from the head in a very serious manner, making a crunching sound.

"It's delicious." Lorna said with a smile.

"Mr. Bigworth's attitude towards food has never been sloppy. If you are really hungry, I can give you one." Jaina said solemnly.

……

Leaf after leaf of wheat was cut, destalked, and stacked in the barn, which was blissful busyness, so that the peasants, with high energy, completed the given work with great speed.

Time passed, and soon it was night, and the whole farm was at rest, except for two people.Edmund and Winkle, the two obvious dissenters, were at the side gate of the farm, waiting quietly for something.

A faint gust of cold wind blew by, and a black figure silently appeared in front of them. Winkle was obviously frightened and was about to shout out subconsciously, but immediately found that the calmer Edmund had bowed down respectfully, " Salute to you, my lord."

Obviously this is the "big man" they are waiting for. The power and power that Kel'Thuzad promised to this group of people must be realized through the current plan, and a crucial part of the plan must be achieved by the person in front of him. .

The person who came was wearing a large black robe and a hood that concealed his face. It was completely impossible to judge his identity from the appearance alone.

"Take me to the barn." A cold voice came from under the hood. It turned out to be a woman, and she should be young. Who could she be?Winkle couldn't help thinking wildly.

The barn is now full of "Golden Hope", because Lorna is here personally, so the Crowley family's work efficiency is very efficient, and these seeds will be sent to various places in Silverpine Forest the next day.

There are quite a few guards around the barn, and they obviously won't let people in easily and let them do whatever they want.When Winkle was a little worried about how to deal with these guards, the "big shot" did it directly, and she didn't see any movement, only a slight mental fluctuation. Those Gilnean soldiers seemed to be drunk, one after another. One fell crookedly, his chest heaved and his breathing was thunderous.

They actually fell asleep.

Winkle was secretly startled. He was a high-level mage himself, so he knew very well that putting many people into a deep sleep in an instant was already a hero-level ability, let alone casting spells silently and smoothly.Therefore, he immediately dispelled all speculations. This big man must be an expert in playing tricks on the mind. It would be bad if she found out that he had any disrespectful thoughts.

They walked into the barn and found that there were still a few people dressed as stalkers lying in it. Obviously, these vigilantes also did not have the ability to be immune to sleeping spells.In addition to the mountains of wheat grains here, there are also a pile of potion jars in the corner.These potion pots were requested by the so-called "Magic Plant Promotion Organization" to be stored together with "Golden Hope" under the title of "Essential Growth Potion". The Crowley family did not suspect this request, even the guards here He agreed without asking for Lorna's opinion.

The tall Edmund picked up a wooden stick, threw off his arms and smashed all the potion pots. The pot was filled with a very viscous dark green liquid, which flowed and scattered with a crisp cracking sound, emitting With a strange smell.

This is the most important part of Kel'Thuzad's plan. "Golden Hope" is indeed a magical enchanted plant, and the seeds here do have the effect Jaina said, and they can indeed increase the grain production of Northern Gilneas several times. ...

But after tonight, not anymore.

These potions must be infused into these seeds to spread their effects throughout Silverpine Forest.If Edmund and Winkle were to operate it, they would have to set up a huge crucible, then dilute the potion and then impregnate the grains, which would inevitably cause huge movements and cause suspicion, and the time would be too short. Not allowed.

The young woman in a black robe slowly raised her hand, chanting something in a low voice, a deep black-green energy kept appearing, rolled up those potions, the two reacted directly and gradually, and finally merged into one, or It is said that these potions have been dissolved in the dark green energy, forming a semi-substantial, but not particularly stable energy group.With the manipulation of the black-robed woman, this disgusting dark green energy mass gradually became as soft as a tulle, slowly covering the piles of wheat seeds, and then completely immersed without any residue.

"Golden Hope" is still "Golden Hope", with a golden and attractive color, except for the original wheat fragrance mixed with a faint sweet smell, there is almost no change.

Edmund and Winkle glanced at each other, and it worked, both of them could see the joy in each other's eyes.

However, the instigator did not show any special emotions, and she still had no intention of showing up. "You can complete the aftermath by yourself. These guardians will not retain any memory after waking up, but an explanation is still needed," she said.

"Leave it to us, my lord." Edmund and Winkle bowed and saluted. They already understood that the person in front of them was probably a high-level member of their organization in addition to their own unfathomable strength. Of course, this organization was not What a ridiculous "enchanted plant promotion organization", it has a more formal and more terrifying name:
Curse the gods.

When the two Curse Cultists looked up, they found that the woman in black robe had disappeared, just as quietly as when she appeared.

……

Behind a hill hundreds of meters away, the woman in black robe took off her hood, her delicate face looked bloodless under the moonlight.Kalia took a deep breath, and the actions just now made her almost half-suffocated.

"What the hell are those damn potions?" she asked, as if talking to herself, since she was alone.

However, a nightmarish whisper sounded in her ear, "This has nothing to do with you, but I can guarantee that such things should not threaten your family."

Kalia was silent. She knew that what she had just done must have some evil meaning. She had already drifted away from the path of evil, but she had no choice. She could not resist the temptation of power and right and accepted After Nathrezim's transformation, part of her soul was already in the hands of the Dreadlord, so Tichondrius didn't even need the diary to contact her.

In the past five years, Kalia has spent all the time in regret. After a long period of recollection and thinking, the eldest princess's mind has also fully matured during this time.Therefore, when Tichondrius came to her again, she refused some very extreme orders with extremely firm will. When she threatened her own life, even Tichondrius had to give in. Promise her not to force her to do anything that would endanger her family, and to only ask her to do three things.

And going to the barn in the Silver Pine Forest to cast a spell is the first thing.

"I have to go back to the royal city. If I'm not here for a long time, those uncrowned people will be suspicious." She said briefly.

"No, you've been very careful in the past few years. It's good to pretend to be an ordinary princess, so it's very easy for Melissa to play you. Although she's just an insignificant succubus, she's quite good at illusion and acting. Yes, no one would be foolish enough to cast cleansing spells on the Princess of Lordaeron to remove the disguise."

"What else do you need me to do?" Kalia asked a little upset.

"A similar thing, but in Arathi. You must hurry to get there as soon as possible."

"This is the second thing." Kalia said forcefully. She continued to use the void walking skill, and her figure appeared tens of meters away almost instantly. This is a very high-end shadow spell, and the principle is not flash. Instead, it shadows the body to increase the extremely fast movement speed and provide extremely high physical resistance for the duration. Kalia is currently able to use this ability many times. Obviously, she has not made no progress in the past five years .

In terms of manipulating fel energy and shadows, Kalia has shown a very high talent. She even mastered a good frost magic and injected fel energy into the ice. This may be related to her being transformed into a foreign Nathrez M has something to do with it.In any case, she has basically reached the average level of the Dreadlord now.

"Yes, this is the second thing." Tichondrius repeated, his voice faded away, and he cut off the connection with Kalia.

Kalia was silent. She knew that she shouldn't trust the trust of a dreadlord. The so-called "three things" agreement seemed to be just an excuse for her to survive. The correct choice should be to directly fight against this control with death, but she always Can't make up my mind.

She is only 20 years old, she still has a lot of youth, and many dying old people keep silent about death, so how can we ask her to face it calmly?
So Kalia had only one path in front of her, a path that was almost hopeless, but she could only rely on this hope to go on.
