Age of Empires From Scratch

Compared with weapons and ammunition, David feels that these daily necessities are what must be brought to other worlds, especially worlds like Azeroth.

After packing their bags, David and Laura found Jaina, and Jaina took them to Azeroth. After a brief greeting with Fording, Jaina continued to use the teleportation spell to send the two of them to Azeroth. to Ironforge.

"Have a good time!"

Jaina didn't choose to go with David and Laura. She went directly to Dalaran using the teleportation spell, took some things and returned to Winter City.

David and Laura took a brief stroll around Ironforge before taking the subway to Stormwind City.

"This is Stormwind City!"

Walking out of the dwarf area, standing on the bank of the canal and looking around, Laura found that Stormwind City didn't look as special as Ironforge. There didn't seem to be anything special about this city.

The only good thing is that the cities in this world are not so dirty and smelly. Although Stormwind City also has places with poor sanitation, overall it is still very clean.

"Are you going to find Varian next?"

"Well, after talking with Varian about establishing diplomatic relations, we'll go to Northshire Abbey."

Although David and Laura are not like Tirion Fordring, they have great fame and prestige throughout Azeroth.

But after saving Quel'Thalas and helping Lordaeron deal with the Scourge, David is no longer an unknown player in Azeroth.

Although in the Kingdom of Stormwind, his reputation is not as well-known as Quel'Thalas and the Kingdom of Lordaeron, but the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Stormwind must know him.

So he can go directly to Stormwind Keep, report his name and ask to meet King Varian.

Under normal circumstances, even if Varian and David didn't know each other, with his current reputation, Varian would meet him in person, not to mention that the two had known each other for a long time.

But things are often unexpected. After David came to Stormwind Fortress and asked to see Varian, he failed to meet the king of the Stormwind Kingdom. The person who met him was Grand Duke Bolvar-Fordragon.

"Nice to see you again, Duke Bolvar-Fortagan."

"It is a pleasure to see you again, Lord Glamorgan."

"Hey, I'm an earl now!"

"Oh, pardon my faux pas, Lord Glamorgan."

The last time the two met was not a pleasant memory. Bolvar was directly expelled back to Stormwind City by David, so Bolvar didn't have the slightest affection for David, the 'prophet'.

However, as the Duke of the Stormwind Kingdom, he still represented the king to meet this powerful existence who had helped the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the kingdom of the high elves, and he showed proper etiquette.

As for the prophet that he had seen back then, it was David Glamorgan who saved Quel'Thalas and helped the Kingdom of Lordaeron. He knew about it from His Majesty the King when the news reached the Kingdom of Stormwind.

"I don't know His Majesty Varian Wrynn..."

"Your Majesty is not feeling well."

"It turned out to be like this..."

David felt that something was wrong. Varian was considered to be one of the most powerful fighters in Azeroth, and he didn't remember what illness this Varian had in the plot?

After chatting awkwardly with the Grand Duke of Stormwind for a while, David found that Bolvar seemed to be unclear about many things. At least the Grand Duke had never asked him about the situation of Prince Anduin.

Without seeing Varian himself, David quickly said goodbye to the Grand Duke.

"Let's go!"

Coming out of Winter Fortress, David looked back at this rather magnificent castle. David found that this trip to Azeroth was probably not just a vacation.

"What should we do now?"

"Leave Stormwind City first." David thought for a few seconds, glanced at the dark corner, and then made a decision.

He didn't plan to stay in Stormwind City anymore, and his original plan of spending two or three days in Stormwind City was also abandoned.

Laura didn't ask any further questions, and followed David out of the city. As soon as they walked out of Stormwind City, the two immediately left the main road and walked eastward into the forest.

"It's time to come out!"

Entering the forest, the tall and dense giant trees cover the sky and also cover the sight. It is difficult to see the situation in the distance in the forest.

Similarly, people in the distance cannot see the situation in the forest, and a relatively safe environment can be obtained here.

A sturdy man in leather armor came out from the shadows, his figure gradually became clear, and he spread his hands out at the first moment to indicate that he had no malice: "I'm sorry to meet you in such a way, David Guerra Lord Morgan."

"You are..." David guessed the other party's identity from the other party's clothes, behavior, and the behavior of calling out his 'identity', but he still had to confirm it.

"I'm Mathias Shaw from SI:7."

Seeing David nodding his head, Mathias was sure that the other party knew his identity, and knew that he could talk about business directly.

Before he could speak, he heard David asking himself: "What's the situation with His Majesty Varian Wrynn?"

"His Majesty is missing."

"ha?"

David looked at Mathias in front of him in surprise. The expression on the face of the leader of SI:7 was not very good-looking. That look full of self-blame made David realize the crisis of the Stormwind Kingdom. Didn't solve much.

"What exactly is going on?"

Mathias did not hide anything from David. Compared to Bolvar-Fortagen, Mathias, the intelligence chief, knew more.

In addition to His Majesty the King specially sending Prince Anduin to the Lord Earl's territory, it also included many details of various things David did in the north of the mainland.

Mathias knew that David in front of him was an extremely powerful user of the Holy Light, and was even called the Incarnation of the Holy Light by the high elves of Quel'Thalas and the knights of the Silver Hand Knights.

Now that His Majesty Varian Wrynn is missing and the Stormwind Kingdom is full of undercurrents, Mathias doesn't know what to do. David came to the Stormwind Kingdom at this time, so he has someone to turn to. .

Mathias found David immediately, and when David asked about the situation, he immediately explained the matter in detail.

Varian sent Anduin to Winter City after discovering the dark tide in the Kingdom of Stormwind. Only Mathias knew about it.

Varian then began to disguise his identity and operate in the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom.

In Elwynn Forest, everything went well.

Although many problems were discovered, Varian kept in touch with SI:7, and His Majesty the King gradually sorted out the context, and seemed to know what he should do.

But after following the clues all the way to the western wilderness, things began to go unsatisfactory, and even His Majesty the Kingdom himself suddenly disappeared not long ago.

"His Majesty the King was investigating the whereabouts of Edwin Van Cleef before he disappeared."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Edwin VanCleef."

"..."

David wanted to say 'this is impossible! ’, because Edwin Van Cleef is in his Winter City at this time, serving as the intelligence leader of Winter City, how can he have the time to make troubles in the Western Wilderness?

But he suddenly thought that many of the troubles in the Stormwind Kingdom at this time were caused by the black dragon Onyxia. Although the black dragon was exposed by Fording, he could no longer use Katrana Prestor Her identity is hidden within the Stormwind Kingdom, but that doesn't mean she can't continue to make trouble.

After all, Fording only expelled Onyxia from Stormwind City, but did not kill the black dragon princess.

So, this VanCleef that popped up again, maybe it was a fake of the Black Dragon Princess? Or maybe it was a counterfeit specially launched by the Black Dragon Princess, and Varian was probably caught by the Black Dragon Princess while pursuing this clue?

"What information do you know about this Van Cleef?"

"I know this Van Cleef is a fake."

Mathias directly stated that he knew that the real Van Cleef had gone to Winter City, and that the Van Cleef who was currently directing the Defias Brotherhood to harm the West Wilderness and Elwynn Forest, and even infiltrated into the Twilight Forest was not himself.

"anything else?"

"His whereabouts are very secretive. Even the internal members of the Defias Brotherhood don't know where he usually stays." Mathias talked a lot, but there was not much useful information at all: "Only One thing is certain, he is indeed in Westfall."

David shook his head speechlessly, he didn't even know how to evaluate the intelligence personnel of MI7.

They can indeed find important intelligence information and the truth, but they will always be slow!

When things are confusing and don't know which direction to investigate, they can't help much.

"I'll go to Westfall to see for myself!"

He didn't expect to be able to ask for more information. Anyway, he and Laura didn't have a clear purpose, so they just wanted to help find Varian's whereabouts.

"Lord Earl of Glamorgan." Mathias hurriedly called David, expressing that he still had something to say: "Your Highness..."

"He had a good life in Winter City, and he has new knowledge to learn every day."

This is not what Mathias wants to say. He hopes that David will bring His Highness Prince Anduin back to Stormwind City before he goes to find His Majesty's whereabouts. It's just that it is inconvenient for him to say something clearly, and he has no right to make such a request. .

He originally hoped that David would take the initiative to bring this up, but from the looks of it, David didn't want Anduin to return to Stormwind at this time.

David really didn't want Anduin back at a time like this, unless it was certain Varian was dead and Stormwind needed a new king. Otherwise, what can Anduin do when he comes back? He can't do anything, and he can't help finding Varian, he can only be used as a display in Stormwind!

"I will bring your king back as soon as possible."
