Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 206 The Stratholme Tragedy in the Illusion of Time 1
Fao took Herald to the top of the bell tower of the church, overlooking the bustling city from a high position.

A bell tower more than ten meters high cannot be considered high.

But it is still a relatively tall building in the city.

Even though Stratholme is a famous big city, there are still very few buildings taller than ten meters.

Although there are not many high-rise buildings in the city.

It is still very impactful when you climb up and look around.

Fao proudly introduced the continuous urban area.

"This city has a population in the early 60s. The quality of the residents is also very high, and they generally have good assets."

Seeing that Herald didn't seem to understand what this meant, he deliberately introduced it to him in detail.

"The city has sufficient population and assets, which means that tens of thousands or even more militias can be armed at any time."

Herald certainly knew what it meant to be a wealthy resident.

People have spare money to buy weapons and equipment, and do some regular training.

When it comes to life and death, you can defend your home and country at any time.

But what is the meaning of this hastily armed militia in front of elite troops?

And the one who attacked them was the kingdom's only prince, the future king.

Who dares to show his sword to the future king?

Herald looked at the bustling city in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

"Dear Archbishop, what you have shown is meaningless! I will show you the tragic fate of Stratholme in the future!"

As he spoke, he took out an hourglass and turned it upside down.

Seeing that the sand with the power of time began to flow, Herald cast a spell to pull Fao into the illusion of time.

This is a fragment of one of Azeroth's countless timelines.

The illusion of time shows Stratholme on the eve of destruction.

The bustling streets and pedestrians make it difficult for Faol to distinguish between reality and illusion.

He looked at the passers-by passing by him in surprise.

I always feel like I have become a ghost.

"what's going on?"

"Don't worry, this is a time illusion about the future."

Hearing what Herald said, Faol quickly regained his composure.

This young mage is said to be a prophet.

The prophet's method is a bit magical, which is understandable.

Through self-suggestion, he quickly merged into this illusion of time, and began to walk on the streets, looking at the future city.

Ten years later, Stratholme became more prosperous, and many buildings were renovated and expanded.

On the original vacant land, more buildings were built.

Obviously the population has been greatly improved.

This situation is not surprising.

As long as there are not too many wars, there is not much pressure on the economy.

The rate at which human population increases is definitely an exaggeration!
Stratholme, presented by the phantom of time, is still a thriving city.

Seeing how prosperous his hometown is, Faol is even more proud.

He looked proudly at Herald next to him.

"Isn't there a problem with the city? Don't you think it's very good?"

Although Herald cast a spell to reveal this illusion of time, it was also the first time he had personally experienced it.

The prosperous scene in front of him made him feel really peaceful.

But the tragedy that happened in Stratholme was confirmed by the Bronze Dragon King.

So Herald carefully observed the surroundings, and quickly found something wrong.

It was a family of three enjoying lunch happily.

But one of the children suddenly vomited while eating.

Seeing the green vomit, Herald immediately thought of the plague.

"Archbishop, look over there, the situation doesn't seem right!"

Faol looked to where Herald was pointing, and found that the child had fallen to the ground and started to twitch.

As the two walked past, the child's parents also started throwing up.

The green vomit made Faol very angry.

"There's poison in the food! It must have been done by some damn thief!"

Thanks to advanced alchemy, plagues are rare in Azeroth.

Therefore, the first thing Faol thought of was the poison of thieves, not the plague created by man.

Of course, man-made plagues can actually be classified as poisons.

Looking at the residents whose faces turned green but were not completely dead, Fao's anger has exploded.

In his opinion, this is a slow poison refined by a vicious thief.

That vicious thief wanted to slowly torture these innocent residents to death.

As more and more residents fall, Faol can't wait to travel to the future to save lives.

By the way, capture that nasty thief and burn him to death.

Just when Fao was itching his teeth with hatred, Herald, who opened the God's perspective, saw the large troops coming from outside the city.

Those who will come at this time can only be Uther and Prince Alsace and his party.

"Archbishop, let's go to the front door. Uther and Prince Arthas are coming with the army."

Uther is Faol's favorite student.

At the same time, it is also the most powerful force of the Church of the Holy Light.

When he was a priest, he was already very good at fighting, and he was the original template for human paladins.

The profession of paladin was created by Faol after studying Uther's situation.

Hearing that Uther was coming with an army, Faol naturally placed high hopes on him.

However, when he arrived at the gate of the city, he heard a group of people arguing whether to massacre the city.

At the heart of the crowd are two high-ranking paladins in golden armor.

One of the middle-aged men, Faol, looked like Uther.

The other young blond man had no impression at all.

The middle-aged man and the young blond man were arguing endlessly over whether to massacre the city.

The middle-aged man who was firmly opposed was finally deprived of the position of commander by the young blond man.

"Uther, you have violated the order of the future king. I hereby announce that you will be relieved of all duties!"

Seeing the young blond man's haughty look, Faol trembled from his anger.

It's just that the future king is so tyrannical.

What if you become king?
Herald looked at the young blond man, feeling that he was quite handsome.

It's just that his head is a little hard to use, and he is being played around by the enemy.

After some research, he introduced it to Faol.

"This guy should be Alsace. Next he will bloodbath Stratholme, and then set fire to the city."

Faol, who was pissed off, said angrily, "Why doesn't this little bastard look like a member of the Menethil family?"

Feeling that what he said was a bit too much, he stopped talking.

Anyone who understands the matter of the royal family naturally understands it, so there is no need to talk about it.

Herald didn't understand what it meant.

He answered subconsciously: "It seems that sons are more like mothers."

But he soon realized that there seemed to be a big melon in it.

Eating melons depends on the timing.

It is obviously not suitable to eat melons at this moment.

He turned his attention to the current developments.

Uther has worked in the army for many years and has a huge network of contacts.

Even though Prince Alsace forcibly deprived him of his power as the crown prince, there was still nothing he could do about it.

At least half of the soldiers were on Uther's side.

Looking at the divided army, Prince Alsace roared angrily.

"You traitors! Go away, go away!"

As soon as Prince Alsace's words fell, many soldiers walked towards the opposite camp.

No one wants to stand with an incompetent prince.

No one wants to massacre the city.

Fighting unarmed civilians is not what soldiers should do.

When Arthas saw a blond girl leaving, he leaned weakly against the big tree next to him and muttered to himself.

"Gianna, are you even going to betray me?"

The blond girl walked straight towards Uther's camp without even pausing in her footsteps.

Herald and Fao who were standing on the side were very speechless.

If you still don't leave at this time, are you going to massacre the city with you?
But the focus of Herald's attention is more on Jaina.

Looking at the figure is quite good, the appearance is first-class Jaina.

Herald felt that Daelin, a handsome old man, had really good genes.
