Chapter 334: Open the door to watch the big show

"...We have reminded him many times not to engage in these researches! We have guided him to the right path, but now this is the result! His evil magic has brought very negative impact to the Kirin Tor! Now, the Kirin Tor and even Dalaran have become synonymous with evil in the mouths of the villagers!"

"Bullshit!" Kel'Thuzad cursed angrily. He was actually charged with such a serious crime, and Antonidas actually wanted to do this!

"The villagers and we have experienced the Second Orc War together! They will never forget the extremely terrifying power of those orc warlocks, and they will never forget the destruction of their homes by the orcs. But do you remember those evil spells? They made our defenses vulnerable. Have you forgotten how many colleagues we lost at that time? In order to prevent such a situation from happening again, we have the responsibility to take precautions, and I am just learning their technology to fight against them!"

"Humph!" Antonidas looked at Kel'Thuzad with a cold face. "Is this why you formed a 'rat' army? Ha, your army can only survive for a few hours. It doesn't have the effect you said before! Child, I looked through your diary. You recorded all your experimental steps in great detail. Your dirty and filthy plan takes three to five days to prepare. Suppose those orcs crawl out from somewhere again, do you think they will give you this opportunity?"

"Although I am younger than you, I am not a child!" Kel'Thuzad retorted in the same cold tone, "Mice are just test subjects for my experiments. Mice reproduce quickly and have a short growth cycle. They are the best test subjects in the world. Moreover, these are just failures. After I succeed, they can live for a long time! The lifespan of each species is different. How can you conclude that my method is not working?"

"Do you want to use this evil technology on other creatures!" Antonidas' eyes seemed to be spewing flames. Kel'Thuzad simply closed his eyes and mouth. After a long time, a sigh came from under Antonidas' beard, "You have now embarked on a path of no return. You should have heard that some new policies have made some countries uneasy. The power you pursue will be used by some people, and they may even use it to incite peasants to rebel. The lords will be dragged into civil war!"

"So your share will be less, right?"

Kel'Thuzad's words suddenly made the room quiet. The mages looked at each other, and some even looked out the window. None of the mages, including Antonidas, who was shaking with anger, were willing to respond to this conversation.

Kel'Thuzad revealed the secrets of the mages: magic is not something that ordinary people can afford. None of the mages in Dalaran are poor, but no matter how rich they are, they cannot withstand the consumption over the years. Dalaran's longevity is inseparable from the support of the Kingdom of Humanity. The Kingdom of Humanity supports Dalaran, and Dalaran provides magical assistance, and when necessary, it is also obligated to help the royal family maintain internal stability.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Antonidas knocked the staff in his hand heavily on the floor three times, and said to him in a calm voice: "Don't forget that you also have a share!"

"Humph..." Kel'Thuzad snorted coldly, and his tone softened a little, "I will be more cautious."

"Careful? No matter how careful you are, you can't keep a secret for an experiment of this magnitude!" Kaelsas directly rebuked him. Kaelsas was also the only mage in the entire Dalaran who didn't care about the funding of the human kingdom. After all, the elves have the Well of Eternity, and the well water is more valuable to them than all magic materials. Of course, Kaelsas would not refuse the funding of humans, and he used all the money to win people's hearts.

Kelsas looked around at his colleagues and continued, "You know, what we have always been pursuing is a stable and safe path to protect all the people in this world. We will not let ourselves become a danger to the world, and for this, we will even sacrifice ourselves! We can't let your actions lead to us being accused of heresy. Don't be lucky, your experiment this time was covert enough, but didn't we still find out?"

Because you are a dog! Kel'Thuzad almost pointed at Kael'thas' nose and cursed him, his chest heaving violently. He stood up and questioned his colleagues: "They have always said that we are heretics, and we have been regarded as heretics for many years! The church has never liked us, especially after the new Archbishop Selena took office. Our reputation has become very bad in those places where the church is most powerful, but has this had any impact on us? No! We should still do what we should do."

"That's because we are indispensable to this world!"

"No! This world will continue to turn without anyone. Take mages for example, those wild mages of Kozan can replace us. The mercenary market in Alterac has been occupied by those cheap wild mages! And..."

"Enough!" Antonidas interrupted Kel'Thuzad tiredly, "If he could be convinced by your words, he would have been convinced long ago! You don't need to waste your words anymore."

Kel'Thuzad got furious after hearing this: "I don't want to talk to you guys even more! You guys are the stubborn ones. You should throw away your old ideas and embrace new ones..."

"No, Kel'Thuzad, you misunderstood our purpose. We are not here to argue with you about the practicality of your magic, but to inform you that all your property will be strictly and thoroughly searched, and all items related to dark magic will be confiscated and destroyed!"

Kel'Thuzad suddenly felt relieved. When he bought their last black magic scroll from Kozan Island, their official, who should be a manager, warned him that if he didn't restrain himself, this would happen sooner or later. When things really happened, Kel'Thuzad let go of everything here. Since they did these cruel things, he had a reason to leave here and go to the unfettered north to complete his unfinished business.

Antonidas changed his tone and said earnestly: "We are also doing this for your own good. If we are discovered by the human kingdom, it will not be such a simple matter. Don't forget that Dalaran is next to Lordaeron. This is just a warning. If you persist in your delusion, we can only deprive you of your status as the archmage and exile you!"

This was exactly what Kel'Thuzad wanted. He bowed to Antonidas and said: "Thank you for your teachings over the years. I don't need you to exile me!"
