Volume 3: Tides of Darkness Chapter 152: The Call of Destiny
When Murphy walked out of the lounge and returned to the banquet hall, he was blocked by someone as soon as he showed his head.
Morgan Lisa (Princess of Lordaeron): "Hey Aidan, what did Varian want you to do just now?"
Murphy glanced at Morgan Lisa. After the previous battle at sea, the two of them were considered acquaintances.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Nothing, just chatting."
As he spoke, he walked to the banquet table nearby, picked up a seafood platter and started eating.
He had been tuning his senses to 100% perception during this period of time, and it turned out that the food at the dinner tasted very good, not worse than the seafood buffet restaurant he often went to.
While eating, he did not forget to put some Stormwind City specialty pastries and other foods into his bag so that he could slowly savor them later.
"Tsk, if you don't want to reveal it, just say it directly. There's no need to give me the cold shoulder. You must have some PY deal, right? There's no need to hide it. Aren't we all here for this?"
"Look at what you said. I came here just to eat." As he said that, he stuffed another big shrimp into his mouth.
"Where is he now? I have something to discuss with him."
"What do you want with Varian?"
"I want to marry him and have a relationship with him."
Murphy was a little speechless. This woman was indeed as Tianxiu said, a little crazy. She hadn't drunk much and she started talking nonsense. "Stop joking."
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Morgan Lisa had a smile on her face, a naughty one.
"I'm just doing serious work. Think about it, if Varian is engaged to a princess of Lordaeron, it means that the next king of Stormwind will have the blood of the royal family of Lordaeron. In this case, Terenas, my cheap dad, will naturally have to take action.
In fact, no matter which kingdom's princess Varian marries, it means giving the other party shares and gaining support, but the Kingdom of Lordaeron is the most powerful and the most suitable choice."
"Is this Tenaris' arrangement?"
"Of course not. His idea is to destroy Stormwind Kingdom completely, and then he will take the lead in establishing a new Alliance of Lordaeron.
But you know politicians, they are good at adapting. If there is an opportunity, they will never let it go. When the time comes, we can send an army here in the name of dowry and find a place to gain a foothold, which can also achieve the goal of expanding the southern continent."
Murphy thought, wow, can you play like this? Morgan Lisa seemed to see what he was thinking and smiled.
"What's the big deal? Isn't this just what the ancient Europeans did? A thousand years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, we did the same thing. This is what court politics is all about.
I find it strange that there is no large-scale intermarriage within the alliance. If we were all one family, we would not have fallen apart ."
Murphy thought it was not that simple. Humans were easy to deal with, but what about elves, dwarves and midgets? Elves were always arrogant and looked down on rough humans. If you wanted to intermarry with the elven royal family, would they refuse or agree? If they refused, it would be embarrassing for both of you. If they agreed, the elves were old goblins who could live for a thousand or eight hundred years. If the human's partner died, it would not look good leaving behind orphans and widows.
Dwarves are not a good choice either. With the looks of those dwarf uncles and aunts, no one would be willing to marry them.
It is said that in fantasy worlds, there is generally no reproductive isolation among intelligent races. However, in such a vast world like the sky, there is not even a single half-dwarf to be found. This is not difficult to explain.
Not to mention the dwarfs, the models don’t match.
Of course, we can do it among humans, but in this way, humans will be happy because we are all one family, but what will the other three tribes think? We are outsiders after all."
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. "You want to marry Varian? Are you sure that boy is not yet an adult?"
"It's good that he's not an adult. I like the cultivation of a young boy the most. And look at Varian's body shape. I'm afraid some people would believe that he is 18 years old. And don't you think Varian is quite handsome?"
After saying that, Morgan Lisa suddenly looked Murphy up and down, and said with a sly smile: "Speaking of which, you are not bad looking, you have a bit of the cool taste of a domineering president, but it's a pity that Alterac is too poor. If you were the king, I would consider it, but if you were the prince, forget it.
But I do have many sisters, if you want, I can introduce one to you."
Murphy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Big sister, don't you look at how old you are?" He looked at Morgan Lisa and had to say that this woman was really pretty. He didn't know if she knew how to pinch her face or if she was so pretty in real life. But judging from her age, she must be at least 24 or 25 years old. That's a ten-year age difference. "Big sister, you're talking too lightly. You're making marriage seem like a joke."
Morgan Lisa smiled mischievously, "But this is a game, aren't we just playing it? We can do whatever makes us happy. By the way, is Varian here?"
Murphy nodded. "He's in the room inside, but to be honest, I don't think he's likely to accept this offer. He's focused on his career right now, and there's a big age difference between you two."
"It's good to pursue a career. I like career-oriented men. After we get married, we can pursue it together. Age is not a problem. A woman who is three years older than you will bring you gold bricks, and a woman who is thirteen years older than you will bring you gold mountains. He can be secretly happy if he marries me."
She completed the waist and collar of the dress, revealing her full cleavage, and walked gracefully.
Murphy shook his head.
Just as I was speechless, the voice of a narrator suddenly sounded in my ears.
[Narrator: Prince Aidan looked at the extravagant scene in the banquet hall and a strong feeling of disgust suddenly came over him. These stupid humans, these corrupt nobles, laugh and dance, and wait for your destined destruction.
Now he has a complete grasp of the divisions and discord within the Alliance, which may be the key to the successful invasion of Azeroth by the Horde.
The invasion of the Horde is imminent, it is time to go to Sargeras to discuss the next course of action. 】
[System prompt: Trigger the plot quest [Road to Darkness], which is a related quest to the [Dark Gate] event. Completing this quest will change your plot identity in the Dark Gate event.]
Mission content: Go to Karazhan and tell Sargeras the internal dynamics of the Alliance.
Mission Reward 1: 300 plot points.
Mission Reward 2: Darkening Progress +10%, your plot identity will be changed from 'Prince Aidan' to 'Incarnation of Deathwing', and your 'Seal Release' skill will be activated. 】
Murphy's heart was shocked. It had indeed come. Was this the call of destiny? Completing this task would lead to a complete change in his identity in the storyline of the Dark Gate event. It seemed that he would go down the path of evil and would never return .
But it's okay. It's good to have the opportunity to participate in this event in person. Moreover, as the incarnation of Deathwing, there are so many things he can do. If it were just Prince Aidan, he would probably just be there to make a cameo appearance.
Murphy left the banquet hall and went to his own room. He took out the Dalaran badge and directly activated the teleportation spell on the badge.
