Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 45 Assassinating the Prince
The three looked at the magic apprentices around them and could only agree reluctantly.

When they came out of the library, they saw the guards still searching for them nearby. After finding them, they immediately ran over.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Jack quickly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have no ill intentions. There is a female teacher here who asked us to come to you and said she needs our help with something."

When the guard heard this, he was immediately surprised and said, "We do have something and need someone to help us."

"There's a man who got us killed and is getting away with it."

"We can't leave here, so please help us kill him."

Rude asked, "Who is he?"

"Prince Farondis, he is by the sea, easy to find."

The elf guard pointed to the southeast, where an elf was vaguely standing on the beach.

Rude said angrily: "Killing so many elves, he is simply a butcher."

He drew his sword and was about to rush forward.

Jack angrily kicked him to the ground, "After killing so many elves, do you think you are a match?"

Do you know who that is? Then you dare to go up and kill him.

Chong Quan said: "Legend has it that the princes of the elves are all powerful wizards with very high status."

Jack looked at the elven guards, "We are just three mortals. How can we be a match for a powerful wizard?"

The elf guards looked at each other. They didn't expect these three people to be so difficult to fool. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Jack pointed at the elf guard's sword and said, "I'm afraid our weapons can't hurt him. You should have magic swords, right?"

"Have!"

The elf guards nodded quickly, "Come with us, there are many magic swords in our warehouse, you can choose any one you like."

Jack and Chongquan were overjoyed and followed the elf guards to choose weapons.

Rude got up, touched his head and looked at Jack in confusion. But when he heard that Jack had persuaded the elf guards to get the magic sword, he immediately followed with a grin.

Soon, they arrived in front of a warehouse. The elf guard opened the door of the warehouse, and faint magical light suddenly emerged from inside.

It really is a magic weapon!
Jack and the other two's eyes lit up.

The elf guards frowned. "What's going on? Why has the enchantment on the weapon weakened so much?"

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they say that the power of such a sophisticated magic sword had weakened? If it hadn't weakened, how powerful could the magic sword be?

Chong Quan said softly, "The enchantment magic will not weaken easily. It will take a long time for it to decay to the point where it can shock them."

Jack nodded, "It seems like they've been dead for a long time, but they don't realize it."

Rude came over quickly and said, "Captain, even if the power of these magic swords has weakened a lot, they are still stronger than the swords we use!"

Jack walked up to the elven guards and said, "These weapons are stronger than ours, but as you said, the enchantment on the sword has weakened a lot, so we are not sure we can kill the prince."

The elf guards looked at each other and said helplessly, "Okay! It's good for you to try it." A guard took out three magic swords and handed them to the three people. The three people happily replaced their swords, then said goodbye to the elf guards and walked towards Prince Farondis.

Knowing the strength of Prince Farondis, Rude was no longer indignant, but instead shrank back, "Captain, are we really going to kill that prince?"

Jack looked at him like he was an idiot, "Can you beat him?"

Rude was stunned, "Then...we took their weapons."

"Didn't I tell them? We are not sure we can kill Prince Farondis."

Jack patted his shoulder and said, "Stand behind me for a while and don't move or talk. Do you hear me?"

Rude scratched his head, not understanding why Jack said that.

Chong Quan walked over and said, "If you don't shut up, I'll shut it for you."

Rude's face froze and he dared not speak.

Soon, the three of them approached Prince Farondis. Prince Farondis knew they were approaching, but he did not look at them, "Are you here to kill me?"

The three of them became nervous instantly, and Rude even drew out his sword, ready to deal with Prince Farondis' attack.

Jack reached out and pressed his hand on Rude's, slowly letting him put the sword back into the scabbard. If Farondis wanted to kill them, they had no ability to resist at all, whether they drew their swords or not.

Chong Quan was also a little nervous. He didn't know why Jack came to find Prince Farondis. According to his idea, after cheating the three magic swords, he should return to the camp directly.

Jack sat down beside Prince Farondis and followed his gaze. In front of him was a bay with an island in the bay, which Farondis had been looking at.

"Those elves should be your subordinates, right?"

Prince Farondis turned his head and said, "You are the first one who asked me this in all these years."

Obviously, many intelligent creatures have been here before. So, what about them?
Chongquan looked around and found that there were many ship wreckages in the bay.

Farondis: “This needs to start a long time ago.”

Jack: “I have plenty of time.”

Farondis smiled and said, "You are very funny."

After a moment of silence, Farondis continued, "Ten thousand years ago, the elves had a brilliant magical civilization. They built a huge empire and elected a perfect female elf as the queen."

"Azshara..."

Heavy Punch whispered a name.

"Yes, it's Azshara!" Farondis showed a nostalgic look on his face. "Under the leadership of Queen Azshara, the elves defeated the powerful Troll Empire, conquered most of the land on the continent, and built countless cities. And here is the cradle of the elven magic civilization - Nar'thalas School of Magic. We have trained generations of wizards to serve the Elven Empire."

"However, every empire must come to an end. Because the Elven Empire relied too much on the arcane, it attracted the attention of demons. Queen Azshara was bewitched by the demons and wanted to bring them into this world. At that time, I opposed the queen's decision and wanted to use the Tidestone to destroy the portal that teleported the demons. But a traitor betrayed me. Queen Azshara learned of my plan and then guided endless arcane energy to detonate the Tidestone, destroying the entire Nar'thalas. All the people living here were killed at that time. The Tidestone brought a curse that trapped them on the day of their death."

Farondis said solemnly: "Although ten thousand years have passed, I still cannot forgive myself."
