Chapter 304 Seeing the Appearance of Truth in the Hole (Pseudo)
Kel'Thuzad was originally a member of the Council of Six in the Kirin Tor, but was expelled from the Council by Antonidas a few years ago because it was revealed that he was studying evil magic.
Since then, his life has been relatively tight. Although he received a lot of salary and gray income when he was a member of the council a few years ago, the mage who likes to do research was originally a big spender of funds. After several years of prodigal, his current Savings have been used up almost.
When Kel'Thuzad brought Charlemagne and Sylvanas to his mage tower, Charlemagne was surprised by the silence inside the tower.
Kel'Thuzad has long been used to it, "Don't worry, the moment I learned that I was studying psychic spells, all my original apprentices have run away, and now I am the only one left in the entire tower except for some self-discipline puppets."
Sylvanas was not interested in the mages' conversation, so she went to the top of the tower alone to overlook the beautiful scenery of Dalaran, while Charlemagne looked at Kel'Thuzad and sighed.
"Master Kel'Thuzad, have you ever regretted what happened to you now?"
Kel'Thuzad raised his head and glanced at him lightly, "Regret? Why should I regret? The first lesson my enlightenment mentor taught me clearly told me that a mage must find the path he should walk."
"Compared to those arcanists who have been dawdling so far, shouldn't I be happy that I can find the path that suits me best in middle age? Is there anything to regret about the gains and losses in these external objects?"
From the firm expression in the eyes of this psychic master, it can be seen that he is indeed not at all confused about the path he has chosen, and the misunderstanding of Antonidas and his surrounding colleagues did not cause him too much trouble.
"However... It would be a lie to say that there is no trouble at all after the change of life. Now I can get too little research funding. Now I can only practice with some small animals. If I can find some large creatures to experiment with, It should be faster..."
Talking about his professional topic, Kel'Thuzad showed a somewhat fanatical expression instead of his usual cold expression.
Charlemagne was a little surprised at first, but then he smiled in relief, "Sure enough...whether arcane, psychic, or natural forces, the casters who use them all have an extraordinary desire to discover the so-called truth? ?”
Kel'Thuzad was taken aback when he heard Charlemagne's words, and then smiled and said, "That's right, no matter what kind of energy it is, in the final analysis it is a pursuit of the truth in the world, so I never think I have done anything wrong."
Kel'Thuzad, who has not yet been bewitched by the Lich King, is still relatively pure in his thinking. He is different from Charlemagne, who only regards arcane as a tool to use. Doing a philosophy means exploring his own future path.
In the words of a man from the moon, if Charlemagne is only a practical magician, then Kel'Thuzad and Antonidas are the true magicians who are moving towards the root.
The chat with Kel'Thuzad was actually quite boring. Except when he mentioned spiritism, he would talk endlessly about some theories that Charlemagne couldn't understand at all, and most of the time he seemed very silent.
When Charlemagne led Cirvanas out of the mage tower in Kel'Thuzad, he stood on the street and took a last look at the tall and cold tower behind him.
‘The next time I see you, maybe I will already be an enemy, right? I wonder if you can continue your pursuit of truth after being tempted by the Lich King? '

Antonidas finally stood in front of the portal to see off Charlemagne and Cirvanas, "Duke Theron, General Windrunner, after you return to Quel'Thalas, I hope you can take care of the little apprentice Jaina. She should be in Quel'Thalas for a long time."
From the words of Antonidas, Charlemagne can roughly understand that the exchange agreement between Dalaran and Quel'Thalas should have been reached, but he doesn't know whether the same is true for several other countries.
Charlemagne, who was eager to return home, smiled and bowed and said, "Chairman Antonidas, please rest assured that Princess Jaina will be properly taken care of in Quel'Thalas. Although my strength is meager, I will do my best as long as I can help. "
Cirvanas also nodded lightly, "As long as you need me, just ask."
"Then I would like to thank you two, and may the arcane art guard your way forward."
Accompanied by Antonidas' farewell, the two of Charlemagne have already crossed the portal and returned to the long-lost town of Far Travel.
As soon as they returned to the mage tower in Yuanxing Town, the two heard the crowing of eagles in the distant sky. When they looked up, they saw griffins and giant eagles flying in the sky, as if they were doing some training.
Charlemagne, who was building an arbor, smiled, "It seems that the Griffin Riders sent by King Falstad haven't returned yet."
Just as the two looked up into the distance, a gentle voice sounded from Charlemagne's ear, "Welcome back, Charlemagne!"
Accompanied by the sound of welcome, a soft body came up from behind him. Feeling the familiar touch and scent, Charlemagne unconsciously smiled from the bottom of his heart, "I'm back, Aurelie Ya."
With the return of the lord, important officials in the dukedom came to Charlemagne's office one after another to report on the various developments in the territory over the past few months.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Now that Azeroth has finally come out of war and entered a period of peace again, I hope that the new population in the territory will increase compared with previous years."
"In addition to the country's own rewards, further encouragement and preferential treatment should be given to families who have children in the territory. It is necessary to let the citizens feel the benefits of having more children. It is best to let them stay at home all day to make babies! "
Charlemagne's words elicited a burst of meaningful laughter. The high elves are more open than humans in this respect...
Anyway, due to the extensive use of puppets in Quel'Thalas, many heavy labor tasks have been automatically produced. The elves only need to keep an eye on the running status of the puppets. The high elves must have enough time to make babies... It's a pity that most of the fun-loving elves just simply enjoy the process.
Besides, the dukedom is not short of money because of the popularity of magic wine, and the expenditure for encouraging births is just a drop in the bucket.
During this trip to Dalaran, Antonidas once again proposed to Charlemagne that he wanted to buy magic wine, but Charlemagne really didn’t dare to sell this kind of wine that would make people addicted. When he explained the dangers to Antonidas Finally, the old mage could only give up regretfully.
After most of the officials and secretaries had left, only the Windrunner sisters and Leeson and his daughter were left in the office. With the wink from the elder sister, Vereesa pulled Valeira out sensible, and closed the door behind her. .
Starting from the topic, Charlemagne sat upright and asked Lisson seriously, "Has she done anything in the past few months?"
Lison nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, she has already started to take action..."
