[Chapter 266 The Missing King]

Compared to weapons and ammunition, David felt that these daily necessities were what he had to take with him to other worlds, especially a world like Azeroth.

After packing his bags, David and Laura found Jaina, who took them to Azeroth. After a brief greeting with Fording, Jaina used the teleportation spell to send them to Ironforge.

“Have fun!”

Jaina did not choose to go with David and Laura. She used the teleportation spell to go to Dalaran directly, took some things and returned to Winterfell.

David and Laura first took a simple tour of Ironforge before taking the subway to Stormwind City.

“This is Stormwind City!”

After walking out of the dwarf area and standing on the bank of the canal to look around, Laura found that Stormwind City did not look as special as Ironforge. There seemed to be nothing special about this city.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the cities in this world are not so dirty, messy and smelly. Although Stormwind City also has places with poor hygiene, it is still very clean overall.

“Are we going to see Varian next?”

“Well, after we finish talking to Varian about establishing diplomatic relations, we will go to Northshire Abbey.”

Although David and Laura are not as famous and prestigious as Tirion Fording in the whole of Azeroth,

David is no longer an unknown little character in Azeroth after saving Quel’Thalas and helping Lordaeron deal with the Scourge.

Although his fame in Stormwind Kingdom is not as well-known as that in Quel’Thalas and Lordaeron, the high-ranking officials of Stormwind Kingdom must know him.

So he can go directly to Stormwind Fortress, report his name and ask to meet King Varian.

Under normal circumstances, even if Varian and David don’t know each other, with his current reputation, Varian will meet him in person, not to mention that the two have known each other for a long time.

But things often like to be unexpected. After David came to Stormwind Fortress and asked to see Varian, he failed to meet the king of Stormwind Kingdom. He was received by Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon.

“It’s nice to see you again, Duke Bolvar Fordragon.”

“I’m also glad to meet you again, Baron Glamorgan.”

“Well, now you’re an earl!”

“Oh, please forgive my impoliteness, Earl Glamorgan.”

The last time the two met was not a pleasant memory. Bolvar was expelled back to Stormwind by David, so Bolvar didn’t have any good feelings towards David, the ‘prophet’.

However, as the Duke of Stormwind, he still represented the king to meet this powerful being who helped the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the High Elf Kingdom of Quel’Thalas. He showed due etiquette. As for the

prophet he met at the time, it was David Glamorgan who saved Quel’Thalas and helped the Kingdom of Lordaeron. He learned about this from His Majesty the King when the news reached Stormwind.

“I wonder if His Majesty Varian Wrynn…”

“Your Majesty is not feeling well.”

“So that’s it…”

David felt that something was wrong. Varian was one of the most powerful warriors in Azeroth, and he didn’t remember what disease the King had in the plot?

After chatting awkwardly with the Grand Duke of Stormwind for a while, David found that Bolvar seemed to be unclear about many things. At least the Grand Duke had never asked about Prince Anduin.

Without seeing Varian himself, David quickly said goodbye to the Grand Duke.

“Let’s go!”

After leaving Winterhold, David looked back at the rather spectacular castle. David found that this trip to Azeroth was probably not just a vacation.

“What should we do now?”

“Leave Stormwind first.” David thought for a few seconds, glanced at the dark corner, and then made a decision.

He was not going to stay in Stormwind, and his original plan to spend two or three days in Stormwind was also abandoned.

Laura did not ask any questions and followed David out of the city. As soon as they walked out of Stormwind, the two immediately left the main road and walked east into the forest.

“You can come out now!”

Entering the forest, the towering and dense trees blocked the sky and the sight. It was difficult to see the situation in the distance in the forest.

Similarly, people in the distance could not see the situation in the forest, and they could get a relatively safe environment here.

A sturdy man in leather armor walked out of the shadows. His figure gradually became clear, and he immediately spread his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions: “I’m sorry to meet you in this way, Lord David – Earl of Glamorgan.”

“You are…” David guessed the other party’s identity from his clothes, actions, and the fact that he called out his “identity”, but he still wanted to confirm it.

“I am Mathias Shaw from MI7.”

Seeing David nodded, Mathias was sure that the other party knew his identity and knew that he could get down to business.

Before he could speak, he heard David asking him, “What’s the situation with His Majesty Varian Wrynn?”

“His Majesty is missing.”

“Huh?”

David looked at Mathias in front of him in surprise. The expression on the face of the leader of MI7 was not very good. His self-blame made David realize that the crisis of Stormwind Kingdom might not have been solved much.

“What exactly happened?”

Mathias did not hide anything from David. Compared with Bolvar Fordragon, Mathias, the intelligence chief, knew more.

In addition to His Majesty the King sending Prince Anduin to the territory of the Earl, it also included many details of various things David did in the north of the continent.

Mathias knew that David in front of him was an extremely powerful user of Holy Light, and was even called the Holy Light Incarnation by the High Elves of Quel’Thalas and the Knights of the Silver Hand.

Now that His Majesty Varian Wrynn was missing and Stormwind Kingdom was full of undercurrents, Mathias didn’t know what to do. David came to Stormwind Kingdom at this time, giving him someone to turn to for help.

Mathias found David as soon as possible, and when David asked about the situation, he immediately told him the details.

When Varian found out that Stormwind was in turmoil, he sent Anduin to Winterfell. This was basically known only to Mathias.

Varian then began to disguise his identity and move around in the territory of Stormfell.

When in Elwynn Forest, everything was going well.

Although many problems were discovered, Varian kept in touch with MI7, and His Majesty the King gradually sorted out the context and seemed to know what he should do.

But after following the clues all the way to the West Wilderness, things began to go wrong, and even His Majesty the King himself suddenly disappeared not long ago.

“Before he disappeared, His Majesty was investigating the whereabouts of Edwin VanCleef.”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Edwin VanCleef.”

“…”

David wanted to say, ‘This is impossible!’, because Edwin VanCleef was in his Winterfell at this time, serving as the intelligence chief of Winterfell. How could he have time to cause trouble in the West Wilderness?

But he suddenly thought that many of the troubles in Stormwind Kingdom at this time were caused by the black dragon Onyxia. Although the black dragon’s identity was exposed by Fording and she could no longer use the identity of Katrana Prestor to hide in Stormwind Kingdom, it did not mean that she could not continue to cause trouble.

After all, Fording only expelled Onyxia from Stormwind City and did not kill the black dragon princess.

So, this Van Cleef who appeared again might be a fake of the black dragon princess? Or maybe it was a fake specially pushed by the black dragon princess, and Varian was probably caught by the black dragon princess when he was tracing this clue?

“What information do you know about this Van Cleef?”

“I know this Van Cleef is a fake.”

Mathias directly stated that he knew that the real Van Cleef had gone to Winterfell, and the Van Cleef who was currently commanding the Defias Brotherhood to harm the Westfalls and Elwynn Forest and even infiltrate Duskwood was not himself.

“What else?”

“His whereabouts are very secretive. Even the members of the Defias Brotherhood don’t know where he usually stays.” Mathias talked a lot, but there was not much useful information at all: “One thing can only be confirmed, he is indeed in the Westfield.”

David shook his head speechlessly. He didn’t know how to evaluate the intelligence personnel of MI7.

They can indeed find important intelligence information and find out the truth, but they are always half a beat slower!

When things are confusing and you don’t know which direction to investigate, they can basically help.

“I’ll go to the Westfield myself!”

He didn’t expect to get more information. Anyway, he and Laura didn’t have a clear purpose, so they just helped find Varian’s whereabouts.

“Lord Glamorgan.” Mathias hurriedly called David, saying that he had something else to say: “Your Highness…”

“He is living well in Winterfell, and there is new knowledge to learn every day.”

This is not what Mathias wanted to say. He hoped that David would bring His Highness Prince Anduin back to Stormwind before going to find the whereabouts of His Majesty the King. It’s just that there are some things he is not convenient to say, and he has no right to make such a request.

He originally hoped that David would take the initiative to bring this up, but it seems that David does not want Anduin to return to Stormwind at this time.

David really does not want Anduin to come back at this time, unless it is certain that Varian has passed away and Stormwind needs a new king. Otherwise, what can Anduin do if he comes back? He can’t do anything, and he is of no help in finding Varian. He can only be a decoration in Stormwind!

“I will bring your king back as soon as possible.”
