Menethil's Power

Chapter 299 Arrest
Jaina did not go to the Kingdom of Stromgarde in the end. Although she told Rona that she was going there to meet other people, she received a message from Kel'Thuzad on the way, and her mentor asked her to return to Dalaran.

So Jaina bid farewell to Edmund and Winkle, the two curse believers. She never doubted their identities until they parted. In her mind, Edmund was a loyal and reliable guard, and Winkle is a somewhat cynical playboy, although they are not perfect, they are easy to get along with, and she knows nothing about their secret activities from beginning to end.

What a naive little girl, after all, she is only under 17 years old, and she is not deeply involved in the world.

Although it is enough to be called a genius magical girl, Jaina did not master the teleportation spell, which required a long period of study and research and passed a professional examination in Dalaran before she was allowed to use it.So she was going to travel along the border of the Alterac Mountains through the Tirisfal Glades to the edge of Lake Lordamere, and then take a boat back to Dalaran.

At this time, Jaina was still feeling a little excited. After participating in the completion of such a "great" achievement as "Golden Hope", the Kel'Thuzad mentor must give her a long vacation so that she can have enough She spends more time with her family and has been away from home for several years. Now she misses her mother Catherine very much.

It is said that now Alterac can discover the activities of wild orcs, so many travelers choose to stay away from here, but Jaina is not afraid or even a little curious. What she encountered in Fiddlestone made her always feel that humans and There is not much difference between orcs. Orcs are not pure beasts. They have family members and feelings, and they will suffer and grieve.

And the orcs in the Lordaeron shelter that she saw along the way deepened her feeling. Although the orcs were still hideous, they behaved very docilely. Jaina saw an old farmer manage two or three Ten orcs labored, and although those orcs had sound hands and feet and almost no restraints, even so, they had no intention of escaping, and they were still working honestly, even more hardworking than human farm laborers.

Although this is actually the result of the "Orc Labor Act" drafted by Isaacs and strongly promoted by Lord Prestor, the tens of thousands of orcs imprisoned have become the best labor force, contributing to the industrialization of Lordaeron, but Jaina I still think this is a manifestation of the pure nature of orcs.

In fact, there have been studies on orcs in Dalaran. The mages found that orcs were not born bloodthirsty and warlike. They invaded Azeroth because their homes were destroyed on the one hand, and they drank the blood of demons on the other hand. , and without these two bonuses, they are essentially strong nomads, aggressive but not too strong.

Veterans of the orc wars scoffed at this conclusion, but some pacifists like Jaina who did not participate in the war accepted this statement. They began to look at the orcs with a more peaceful eye, and some even believed that Lordaeron's exploitation of the orcs was very inhumane, so they issued a stern protest to the Millhill royal family.

Isaacs did not respond to this. He has seen too many of this kind of "human rights fighter". Need to worry about this group of people who are full and supporting themselves.

Jaina took Mr. Bigglesworth all the way leisurely. Kel'Thuzad's mentor did not set a return time, so the little girl was traveling with a pet. She had no consciousness of covering her whereabouts. All kinds of traces of him were quickly reported by the uncrowned informants hiding in various places.

Since Isaacs doesn't want to rely too much on the Assassin Alliance of non-national forces, the Uncrowned has been vigorously supported in recent years, and the scope of control of this highest intelligence agency in Lordaeron has rapidly expanded from the vicinity of the royal city to the entire Lordaeron .

Therefore, when Jaina arrived at the port town of Lordamere Lake, there were already countless pairs of dark eyes watching her, and the big-hearted girl mage was still ignorant.

It was getting late, and it was obviously unrealistic to hire a boat at this time, so Jaina found a hotel nearby, and the waiter led her to the room on the second floor and bowed to leave. When the young mage turned around again, she found Big Worth who had entered the room first The husband was in a state of explosive hair. She looked over and almost screamed, because suddenly there was a figure in the empty room.

"Meow—" Mr. Bigworth made a threatening sound.

Jaina frantically put on a fighting stance, and took out the magic weapon she found in Sholazar Basin, which she named "Focused Core", which is the most powerful attack method she has mastered so far.

The figure that appeared suddenly didn't move at all, just watching Jaina hurriedly preparing for battle, she slowly walked out of the shadows, "Hello, Miss Jaina Proudmoore, I'm Valeera... Sagunar, serve Lordaeron Prince Isaacs." The female elf directly reported her family to dispel the hostility of the young mage.

"Isaacs?" Jaina was still very impressed with the old prince of Lordaeron five years ago, "What did he ask you to come to me for?"

Valeera didn't answer, but looked Jaina up and down. From the appearance alone, it's hard to believe that the plague in Silverpine Forest is related to this lovely girl, and if she did do that kind of thing. Evil deeds should not appear so blatantly in a reasonable way.Of course, all of this may be her disguise. A qualified intelligence worker will not judge a person based on his appearance.

In fact, there are at least three forces in the town waiting for Jaina at this time, and Valeera personally showed up to meet her in advance mainly because of curiosity. She has always felt that some of Isaacs' predictive measures are difficult to use in an excellent overall situation. This time, it is especially obvious. Why did Isaacs have to send her back when he was in Quel'Thalas?And how did he know Jaina was going to get in trouble?
Although they already had an intimate relationship, Valeera still felt that she didn't know enough about Isaacs. He basically didn't hide any secrets from her now, but he didn't seem to want to explain some key points to her at all.

There was a sudden noise outside the door, which made Mr. Bigworth very upset. It seemed that the hotel owner was blocking some uninvited guests. Then the door was opened roughly, and Luther, the law enforcer, came in with two subordinates. Looking directly at Jaina, "Are you the mage Jaina Proudmoore?"

Jaina seemed a little surprised. She recognized the emblems of the Law Enforcers on the chests of the three people in front of her. The Law Enforcers were an organization organized by the Kirin Tor Council to maintain order in Dalaran, consisting of a group of powerful battle mages.

Jaina nodded slightly, "Yes, I am."

"Very well, Jaina Proudmoore, in the name of the Kirin Tor, I hereby arrest you for the misuse of harmful magic. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be in court .” Luther uttered the classic lines, and his two followers looked ready to do something.

"Arrest... me?" Jaina seemed a little confused, so the girl couldn't help but show a hint of fear, which made people love her, but the expressions of the three law enforcement mages did not ease in any way.

Valeera frowned, she couldn't stand it any longer, "Declaration of charges without a trial? Is this how Dalaran performs notarization? And I must remind you, she is not an ordinary mage, and she has Kur The identity of Princess Tiras."

"The law enforcers can directly convict the crime. Of course, she must accept the trial of the Tribunal of Truth. In addition, even if she is the princess of Kul Tiras, she is just an ordinary mage in Dalaran." Luther's tone was extremely strong.

Valeera stopped talking. As a stalker, she has always maintained absolute reason. She will not clearly stand on Jaina's side, because Isaacs gave her instructions to obtain all information about Jaina, and Not to protect her.

Jaina has also regained her composure at this time. Although the girl is a little confused, she is actually very smart. She leaned over and hugged Mr. Bigworth to calm the kitten's emotions, "Are you sure you want to arrest me? ? Is there a corresponding license file?"

"Of course." Luther replied coldly.

"Can you tell me what my charges are?" Jaina asked again.

"No." Another cold rejection.

The young mage couldn't help but took a deep breath, "Well, I believe in the notarization of the council, I don't think I have touched the legal bottom line of Dalaran, this may be a misunderstanding." She put down the kitten and calmly stretched out her hands to put it on. Putting on the magic shackles, the attitude was very calm, and then turned to look at Valeera, "Can you help me take care of Mr. Bigworth?"

Valeera nodded, but Luther said rudely, "No, that cat must also be taken away." He said very impersonally.
