Chapter Five, Hi, Andohar.

This royal highness, who will become one of the most terrifying monarchs in the world in the future, is simply a natural ladies' man.

Dick waved his hand weakly and said with a powerless tone, "His code name is Hunter, and he is the inner court knight you sent to Stanisom. The time was half a month ago."

Upon hearing Dick's words, Jianna's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Jaina stood up directly from the chair. A trace of fear flashed across her beautiful face when she saw Arthas looking at her with a cold expression. Jaina quickly discerned the situation.

Jaina was stopped, but the young mage is still a novice despite her legendary power breakthrough. She spent the first 18 years of her life in the mage tower of Antonidas and the orderly Dalaran. Therefore, her experience in communicating with others is pitifully limited.

The one spreading the plague is none other than your senior brother Kel'Thuzad... I wonder what kind of scene it will be when you meet him.

Did you say you have news about the epidemic? Please tell me now.

In fact, if it weren't for Antonidas' assistance in defending the city of Lordaeron, the second Orc War, which ended just a few years ago, would have resulted in the fall of Lordaeron City.

So, this is the second time the two people have met.

This is impossible!

Actually, the reason why the hunter died is because he was discovered by Kel'Thuzad when he infiltrated the Cursed God Cult, and was cursed. In the end, he succumbed to exhaustion and fell into the hands of the Cursed God Cult controlled by the murlocs.

You are Dick Tang? The warrior who, three years ago, single-handedly crossed the Silverpine Forest and brought back the orc battle report for Lordaeron?

Dick struggled to unbutton his clothes. He took out a small iron plate from the inner pocket of his shirt and handed it to Arthas. The latter looked at it solemnly and nodded.

Jaina gritted her teeth and said, "No wonder she's so angry." Jaina's mentor, Antonidas, is the current leader of Dalaran, the city of mages. He is the most powerful human mage in the world, a force that surpasses even legend.

Under the rule of Antonidas, human mages have their own set of codes of conduct, similar to spreading plagues in the human world. Once discovered, they may be wanted by the Kirin Tor Mage Council.

The latter's waist still aches slightly, but the treatment spells of the old paladin are truly remarkable. Now, he can move his body a little bit.

Kel'Thuzad, former Archmage of Dalaran.

Jaina seems to have experience taking care of patients. She reached out and took the glass of water on the table, and handed it to Dick.

After speaking, Jaina stood up angrily and was about to walk out the door. Dick, with a bewildered look on his face, just realized what had happened at this moment. He hurriedly stopped the sorceress who had already walked to the door.

He, like Jaina, has a head of golden hair that is cut into a short and long style and draped over his head. His young face is full of fortitude and perseverance, and coupled with his pair of blue eyes that resemble the sea, this resolute knight exudes a gentle temperament.

Dick supported his body with both arms and leaned against the wall. His face was a little pale, but this was a normal aftereffect of excessive blood loss. After he gulped down a large glass of water, Jiana, who was sitting in front of him, finally spoke up.

Arthas looked at Jaina, then turned his head to look at Uther. Uther met his gaze without any hint of avoidance in his eyes.

Wow, you're finally awake!

Alas, wait a moment, Ms. Jaina... You come back first!

But I am the one who conducts complex investigations on epidemics!

This is indeed the badge of the Night Owl.

The female mage sat back in her chair with a cold expression and said impatiently.

In conclusion, although Dick woke up, he tilted his head and looked for five minutes before he couldn't help but feel thirsty in his throat and hummed.

Your Highness, according to the dying testimony of the "Hunter," the source of this plague is actually in Stratholme, specifically in the Zul'Mashar area. The plague was caused by grain transported from Stratholme to Andorhal. The perpetrators behind this are self-proclaimed as the Cursed Cult, and their leader is...

No, Your Highness, you don't need to test me anymore.

Hearing this, Arthas glanced at Jaina and then waved his hand. The four paladin guards accompanying him and the old paladin who had entered the room with Arthas immediately walked out of the room. Only Dick, Arthas, and Jaina remained here.

Watching Jaina, who is having a disagreement with Arthas, Dick's eyes rolled, and he quickly put on a distressed look, looking around as if he were a thief caught stealing. Lowering his voice, he said mysteriously.

I have no evidence, but the hunter said that Kel'Thuzad is not staying in Stratholme now. He is wandering within the Lordaeron territory, secretly manipulating the circulation of those plague grains. Therefore, you only need to follow the direction of the grain transportation to easily find evidence.

Arthas sat on the chair, not even looking at Jaina. Instead, he directly asked Daelin. This small detail made Daelin happy. Jaina, oh Jaina, I promised to repay you. So, I will help you break this doomed relationship and save you from carrying the name "Kelfanna" everywhere in the future.

Dick lowered his head without being humble or arrogant, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's really a pleasure to see you again."

The probing of Alsace was exposed, but he showed no embarrassment. Dick could understand, after all, he had also served as a scout in the Fourth Legion, and such vigilance was essential, so he said directly.

Arthas fell silent, facing a great mage. Even he would feel the pressure. After half a minute, he asked in a hoarse voice.

Magician! Can't believe there are magicians daring to participate in such things! It's really... really outrageous!

No, it's not possible. I must wait for Prince Arthas to arrive before I can reveal this news.

When the next morning arrived, Dick opened his eyes and saw Miss Jaina Proudmoore standing by the window, curiously watching the paladins train. She was wearing a white robe with a blue coat over it, a short wand tied to her waist, and her golden hair was loose on her shoulders.

Dick shook his head.

Madam Jianna, forget it, I'll just call you Jianna.

Well, Jaina, you don't know yet, the source of the plague is not simple. In addition to the involvement of some mages, there are also the participation of the great nobles. Now you understand why I had to wait until Prince Arthas came before I was willing to speak, right?

This title made Jaina's face stiffen for a moment. In this well-ordered society, commoners like Dick are not allowed to directly address the names of nobles. They usually have to use honorifics. However, considering that Dick doesn't know his identity at the moment, Jaina thought about it and found it quite amusing. So she nodded gracefully.

Jianna snorted with some dissatisfaction, her beautiful eyes staring at Dick angrily as she said.

Please block the surroundings, Your Highness. I have very important matters to report to you! It's about intelligence on the origin of the epidemic!

Dick glanced at the gritted teeth of Jaina, shook his head imperceptibly, and said to himself.

Jaina was immersed in her own thoughts when suddenly the door was pushed open. Dick was taken aback and then saw the tall figure walking into the room under the protection of four paladins.

Your Highness, I previously served as a magistrate in Dalong County. After repelling a group of murlocs, I unexpectedly encountered an inner court knight from the palace. He claimed to be a scout sent by you and presented this identification badge.

He is wearing a magnificent golden armor, draped in a deep blue cloak, with a fancy ribbon on his chest. He is also carrying a golden and blue intersecting war hammer on his back, appearing majestic and awe-inspiring, truly possessing a demeanor that makes people bow in reverence.

Where is the evidence? Dick, you know, without evidence, I cannot submit a warrant against a grand sorcerer to the king.

This is impossible! He... He must be talking nonsense! Senior Kel'Thuzad... He disappeared a year ago!

Domineering and gentle, two completely opposite images, have been almost perfectly unified on this face. In fact, when Dick saw Arthas for the first time, he finally understood why Jaina, the young mage, could reject the pursuit of the handsome and picturesque high elf prince, Kael'thas, and instead fall into the arms of this prince.

Yes, Your Highness.

Although Jaina's movements were already fast enough, when she ran over with three paladins carrying stretchers, Dick had already fainted. A normal person would lose their life after receiving a full-force blow from a troll, but Dick was still breathing, which fully demonstrated the strength of his body.

What are you doing?

Dick's glorious history in the past has been deeply hidden in the past three years, so even Jiana and the old paladin who saved him didn't know that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually a leading figure.

Dick glanced at Gianna, lowered his head, and uttered the name that made Gianna dumbfounded.

However, Dick clearly understands what is important, so without waiting for Alsace to ask, he speaks softly.

Why do your eyes only focus on Arthas? You, as well as the captain of the guards in Andorhal, and even that arrogant prince treat me as your follower! I will prove that I can find the source of the plague without his help! You can wait here for your prince!

This is not Dick's nonsense. After he brought back the orc battle report, he was personally received by King Terenas and awarded a "Knight's Medal". This is the highest honor that a common soldier can receive. At that time, Arthas personally pinned the medal on his leather armor.

Faced with this situation, even if Jaina was anxious and wanted to know about the plague, she could only stay in the Crusader's camp and wait for Deek to recover. However, it should be fortunate that the paladins have healing abilities, so with the help of an experienced paladin specialized in healing spells, Deek's condition has improved a lot.
