Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 356



[Chapter 356: A Tour Group from Azeroth]

Because of David’s fame, it is said… just said, some night elves want to see this incarnation of the Holy Light with their own eyes; some tauren are also curious about David and even want to go to Winter City to take a look.

According to rumors, David Glamorgan is the lord of Winter City, so Winter City has also become a famous city in the world of Azeroth.

Unfortunately, those who want to visit and adventure in Winter City do not know that Winter City is not in the world of Azeroth. It is estimated that many people will waste a lot of time looking for the “legendary city”.

David is of course unaware of this. If he knew that his name has spread throughout Azeroth, he would definitely start planning how to absorb the Draenei refugees into Winter City – anyway, those Draenei are not particularly popular in Azeroth, and settling in Winter City is definitely better than in Azeroth, right?

As for the Burning Legion?

David really hadn’t worried about that group of guys. If Sargeras could really find the location of Brunnia, he would be happy to stand on the continent and quietly enjoy the wonderful drama of the battle between the Brunnia gods and the Burning Legion.

He stayed quietly aside. Although the succession ceremony was very imposing, it was actually meaningless. He could only stay there quietly like a human sculpture.

Today’s protagonist, Her Majesty Calia Menethil, felt even worse than David.

Since last night, Calia had to do a series of preparations for today’s ceremony, and she couldn’t even eat or drink water from then on. She

was busy with bathing, changing clothes, and makeup until the morning, and then she performed various ceremonial rituals like a delicate puppet doll. After finally completing the ceremony and being crowned queen, it was the beginning of real suffering.

First of all, Her Majesty the Queen had to accept the congratulations of many leaders who came to watch and witness the ceremony.

Afterwards, Her Majesty the Queen will accept the allegiance of the ministers;

then, Her Majesty the Queen will ride a tall and majestic warhorse, starting from the palace and parading around the city of Lordaeron, accepting the strong onlookers of the people of Lordaeron.

After this set of procedures, a whole day has passed. There is basically no chance to eat during the whole process, and even a few sips of water can’t be drunk.

If you don’t have enough strong physical strength and mental will, you can’t make it to this time.

Even so, it’s not the moment of the real end.

After accepting the allegiance of the ministers and the people, the next is a grand celebration cocktail party to celebrate the birth of the new king.

But this kind of cocktail party is still not a suitable place for eating and drinking. A bunch of bigwigs are here for various social activities, and everyone is trying their best to maintain their etiquette.

After all, here, they represent not only themselves, but a country!

“It’s terrible, I don’t want to be so troublesome at that time.” After seeing the whole process of Jia Liya ascending the throne as king, David suddenly didn’t want to be king anymore. The duke is actually quite good.

Gwen, who followed David to Azeroth to see another world, looked at David beside her and imagined the scene of David ascending the throne.

I wonder where I will be at that time? Considering the number of “good friends” around David, they might be arranged together, right?

While thinking about it, Gwen, who was wearing a “retro-style dress”, looked around and found that this cocktail party was actually not interesting. It was not as interesting as the dance party held by the school.

The key is that she can’t run around. She must stay by David’s side, holding his arm and smiling.

“My cheeks are starting to feel sore. Now I understand why Laura said she is not interested.”

Not many people followed David to attend the ceremony this time. In addition to Elias, the etiquette officer, there was Gwen, who wanted to come to Azeroth to watch the fun and serve as a female companion.

When they heard that they were going to attend the succession ceremony of Calia Menethil, Laura and Sophia immediately expressed their disinterest. Eva and Helen hesitated for a while and gave up.

Obviously, these people all understood how boring such a formal ceremony would be.

“Hold on a little longer, then we can say goodbye and leave.”

Because of the special situation in Winterfell, David didn’t have to stay until the last moment of the ball, and leaving early wouldn’t have any impact.

Anyway, the Kingdom of Lordaeron is a staunch ally of Winterfell because of Regent Tirion Fordring, and this situation should remain unchanged for quite some time.

“David, I haven’t had a chance to congratulate you.”

David wanted to leave early, but some social events are not something you can avoid just because you want to, especially when your position reaches a certain level.

There are not many people who can make Anasterian Sunstrider, the King of Quel’Thalas, take the initiative to talk to him. Even if the people present are kings, dukes, etc., there are only a few people who can be valued by this high elf king.

David, Duke of Glamorgan, is undoubtedly the most important one among them.

“Congratulations on your promotion to Duke.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“It’s not appropriate to call me King here. Just call me by my name.” Anasterian Sunstrider is not a man who is easy to talk to, but when facing David, he always behaves warmly and cordially: “This is my son, Kael’thas.”

And the main reason he came to greet David specifically was to pave the way for his son.

His health was getting worse and worse, and he could no longer lead the high elves forward. The future of Quel’Thalas did not belong to him. The last thing Anasterian could do was to clear the obstacles for his son and pave the way forward.

David Glamorgan of Winter City was a force that he had to make friends with.

Although Sylvanas was deprived of military power and was almost exiled to Winter City as a diplomat, the loyal ranger general still completed his work perfectly, and relevant information about Winter City would appear in front of him from time to time.

So Anasterian knew how powerful Winter City was, and even without considering David’s own strength, he would never give up this ally.

As for Liadrin recruiting a group of priests from Silvermoon City and Sylvanas’s plan to resign from all positions in Silvermoon City and switch to Winter City, he had no objection.

For Anasterian, if Sylvanas could be reused by David, it would only benefit Quel’Thalas, not harm.

After all, the two forces were not in the same world, and there were no disputes over territory and resources. There was no irreconcilable contradiction between the two families.

On the contrary, if he makes friends with them, he will leave himself with a strong trump card.

He believes that Sylvanas, who was born in Silvermoon City and is a high elf herself, cannot sit idly by and watch the huge changes in her hometown.

Therefore, when Sylvanas said that she would leave Quel’Thalas and go to Winter City to serve, Anasterian not only did not stop her, but even asked Sylvanas if she needed any help?

As long as Sylvanas asked, he was willing to support a large number of elven rangers to serve as Sylvanas’s team.

In addition, Anasterian also planned to let his son visit Winter City to see if there was anything worth learning from.

“Now the undead in most areas have been cleared, and all areas have begun post-war recovery work.”

Kael’thas no longer needs to lead troops to sweep the undead outside, and the next step is to make final preparations for officially taking over the throne.

As for going to Winter City, he really just went to take a look, and it was impossible for him to stay for a long time. He would return to Quel’Thalas after staying for ten days or half a month at most.

Anasterian came to David at this time, not only to express his desire for his son to visit Winter City, but also to invite David to attend the succession ceremony of his son Kael’thas in the near future.

“I will definitely be there.”

Anasterian chatted with David for a while and then left, and then Varian came again.

“I also want to thank you for your care and teaching of Anduin during this period.”

“Actually, I didn’t teach you anything.” Anduin was too sensible, and David didn’t need to worry about him at all. David would give him a few pointers when he was free, and he would find something to learn when he was not free.

It can only be said that people who cheat will eventually succeed no matter what, and Anduin is in this state now.

Next, Anduin will not continue to live in Winter City. In the future, he will inherit the throne of Storm Kingdom and learn a lot about Storm Kingdom.

However, he will go to Winter City frequently, especially now that Anduin has awakened the Holy Light.

Winter City is currently the most suitable place to learn the Holy Light – it is definitely more reliable than the Cathedral of Light managed by Benedictus. Varian doesn’t know what to do with this blacklisted archbishop.

“Uh… Anduin has awakened the Holy Light?”

David didn’t know about this, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Varian didn’t think there was anything wrong. He learned from his son that David had gone out to do business not long ago, and he awakened the Holy Light during that time. It was normal for David not to know.

Varian hoped that David could continue to guide his son in the practice of the Holy Light. He felt that David could perfectly balance the use of Holy Light and the rule of the territory. Under his guidance, his son should not become a pure believer of the Holy Light.

“Anduin is very smart, he will definitely become an excellent king.”

After finishing the conversation with Varian, David found that although he wanted to leave early, he had unknowingly become one of the few people who stayed until the end.

And Calia Menethil and Magni Bronzebeard came to him one after another, talking about strengthening cooperation with Winter City and even conducting various trades, which made David stay here until midnight before ending the socializing from all parties.

But it was only a temporary end. Even if David returned to Winter City, these things were still not over.

Magni Bronzebeard, Kael’thas and a large group of people came directly to visit Winterfell.
