Chapter 411 Plague (Part 2)
"I think Terenas's evaluation of you is quite wise." Antonidas's snort made Jaina very curious. The little girl thought about it and decided to climb in through the window to take a look. Although Jaina knew that she'd better leave before being discovered, curiosity drove her to move forward. Maybe there will be new discoveries this time. Curiosity has made Jaina encounter many new discoveries, such as Kozan Island, Sar, and the sins of Dunholde...
"You should be smarter than those kings who only care about politics! Doomsday is coming!"
"I said, I'm not interested in this kind of nonsense." Antonidas' tone was still condescending. The prophet was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Then I've wasted my time."
The next moment, a shocking scene appeared. Jaina stared at the stranger's shape blurring in front of her eyes, shrinking and changing shape. A moment ago, it was a man in monk's robes, but now it was a black crow. It let out a frustrated scream and jumped into the air, flapping its wings and flew away.
Antonidas still stared at the blue sky, and the visitor was now a black dot that gradually disappeared. "Jaina, you can come out."
Jaina's cheeks flushed, she chanted a spell to remove the spell, and then stepped forward. "Teacher, I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation..."
"Okay, kid, I know you are very curious about many things, so what we are going to use next is your curious nature." Antonidas said with a smile, "That crazy and stupid guy said something about the end of the world, which is pure nonsense. I think he exaggerated this "plague" a bit."
"Plague" These days, Jaina has not left the house in Dalaran, concentrating on organizing previous information, and she really doesn't know about this new plague.
"I sent some messengers to the capital before, ostensibly to discuss the orc problem, but the problem now seems more urgent."
Jaina listened quietly. Antonidas waved his sleeves, and the magic teapot automatically poured tea for the two of them. After taking a sip, Antonidas continued, "Orcs may be able to negotiate with humans, but not diseases. Reports indicate that a plague is spreading in the north. There are many doubts there, so I think the Kirin Tor must investigate this matter thoroughly."
A mage went to investigate the plague? Jaina looked at her teacher in confusion. Shouldn't the priest be the one who goes at this time? Let the mage investigate the plague, unless...
"Do you think there is magic involved? Or is this a man-made accident?"
Antonidas nodded his head to confirm Jaina's guess: "This is very possible, so we sent you to investigate this matter, and this is also a very good opportunity to go out for exploration. You have learned almost everything I can teach you, and now is the time to test your learning results. In addition, this is not a single-person action, you have several excellent helpers. As for who they are, you will know when you get there."
"Okay, teacher, I'll set off now."
In the north of Dalaran, Arthas leaned against a tree, closing his eyes facing the weak sunlight. He knew he was conveying calm and confidence, and he had to do it. His men were worried enough already, and he couldn't let them see that he was nervous. After all, this was not an easy thing... How would they get along? Maybe this decision was not a wise one. But all the reports were urgent, and he knew she had the coolest head. This would all work out. It had to.
"I'm going to crush you!" Arthas heard a roar in the distance, most likely a creature that had intruded into the ogre's territory. Arthas jumped up alertly like a leopard napping in the sun, hammer in hand. He looked along the road and saw a slender female figure running over the top of the mountain. Behind her was a green vortex with a rough head and limbs. Arthas knew it was an elemental creature. Standing behind her were two water elementals.
Arthas was watching from above and did not go down to help. But Jaina could really deal with those guys by herself. Although Jaina majored in ice, fire was also her specialty. In an instant, the white and fat bodies of the two ogres were engulfed by the flames. One ogre wanted to escape, but Jaina immediately set an ice trap for him. The ogre, whose feet were frozen, fell forward directly, and Jaina also heated it up. Soon, the two ogres gave off a burnt smell and were silent. The most amazing thing happened here. The flames that could burn a person to charcoal did not melt the ice, but the tissues inside the ice were all burned to charcoal.
Jaina saw Arthas and simply greeted him. In the battle just now, Jaina did not even sweat.
"Gentlemen, this is Miss Jaina Plaudmore. She is the special envoy of the Kirin Tor and one of the most talented young mages on the continent."
After introducing everyone, Arthas looked at Jaina and said enthusiastically: "It's great to see you."
Jaina nodded: "Me too."
Compared to Arthas's enthusiasm, Jaina seemed a lot colder. In recent years, Jaina has been more likely to visit Kozan Island than Lordaeron, and she has not had much emotional communication with Arthas.
"Your Highness, let's not exchange pleasantries, let's talk business, what do you know about the plague we are investigating?"
"Not much. I just received an order from my father. I have been fighting the orcs with Uther. But I think since the mages of Dalaran want to investigate the truth, it must be related to magic."
She nodded with a smile, but she was complaining in her heart. It was as if she didn't say anything. Jaina sighed and said, "You are right. Although I don't know the details yet. This is also the reason why my teacher Antonidas sent me here. We must We need to investigate the villages near the King's Road and ask the villagers for useful information. They may not have been infected yet, and this is just a local epidemic at most. "
Looking at Jaina frowning, Arthas quickly changed the subject: "I don't know if this plague will work on orcs? Those dirty guys should all get this disease."
Jaina glanced at him and said nothing, but she looked very unhappy. Arthas was a little confused, not knowing what he had said wrong. He had studied with Uther and so many gay paladins for so many years, but no one told him how to chat with girls so as not to kill the conversation...
