It's no wonder that Aaron thinks so. The scene in front of him really makes it difficult for Aaron not to think about the scene where Medivh warned Lordaeron. This also gave Aaron a bad premonition in his heart.
In another timeline, Medivh brought the news that Undead Scourge was coming, but the upper-level rulers of Lordaeron had no feeling about it. They only regarded Medivh as a crazy old man talking nonsense, let alone taking the news he brought seriously.
In fact, this incident happened once more than ten years ago. At that time, Stormwind City's messenger brought news of Orcs's invasion of Kingdom of Stormwind. However, the nobles of Lordaeron did not take it seriously at all. It was not until Lothar arrived with the survivors of Stormwind City that these nobles realized the urgency of the matter.
So can the news he brings now make these people more alert? Aaron is also very unsure, but since Terenas is already waiting there, he can only speak first. As for the result, it depends on whether these nobles can be a little smarter.
What if these nobles can't listen to their news at all? Aaron thought about it, and there seems to be no way. I can only hope that these guys won't stop me from going to investigate the matter even if they don't believe it.
Facing Terenas's inquiry, Aaron organized his speech and slowly told what might have happened to the Barov Family. However, considering Illucia On the other hand, Aaron tried hard to put all the blame on Cult of the Damned, lest Terenas would use this to continue to deprive Barov Family of the little remaining territory.
Aaron has no feelings for the Barov Family, but Illucia has been his consul for five years, so he always has to consider Illucia's mood.
"Aaron, are you saying that there is an emerging sect that wants to seize Barov Family's territory and use it to plan a conspiracy?" Terenas is now showing his old appearance, and the look he looks at Aaron is not as majestic as before. Fortunately, he has not completely aged, at least his thinking is quite clear, "Do you have any evidence?"
Aaron shook his head. How could he have any evidence? If he really wanted to have evidence, he would directly request Terenas to send Silver Hand out. Now it is just a guess, even Illucia, she didn't notice anything unusual when she went home last time. The letter in her hand can only prove that Barov Family and Cult of the Damned have a close relationship. This scene cannot be shown now.
"That means there is no evidence..." Terenas pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something. The atmosphere in the hall became silent for a while.
Aaron is also a little uneasy. If Terenas says no, he will definitely investigate Caer Darrow's matter, but he will definitely not get support from Lordaeron, and many things may not be easy to handle.
If Cult of the Damned has not yet become a problem, then everything is easy to say, but if it forms a certain force, it will not be solved by the people around Aaron.
Fortunately, Terenas did not make the decision that Aaron was most worried about. After thinking for a moment, the old king looked at Paladin who was wearing armor and carrying a war hammer on his waist. "Uther, what do you think?"
Uther took a few steps forward, walked in front of Terenas, bowed and said, "Your Majesty the King, His Excellency Aaron's warning must not be ignored, but you cannot make a big deal out of an uncertain news. I am willing to go to Barov Castle to find out."
"That's what I meant." Terenas nodded and said to Uther, "In that case, I'd like to trouble Uther to go there in person. Originally, I thought this matter could be left to Arthas, but he's not in the city these two days."
"I am willing to share your Majesty's worries." Uther nodded solemnly, walked to Aaron, exchanged greetings with Aaron, and continued to listen to Terenas's arrangements.
"Aaron, thank you very much for bringing this news, but as Sir Uther said, I cannot mobilize the kingdom's army just because of your words. Now let Uther go with you to investigate. If there is a situation, I will immediately organize manpower to provide support for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Aaron thanked him with a smile on his face, thinking that you might not only provide support but also take over Barov Family's last territory, right? Of course, Aaron doesn't care much about these things. It is not entirely a bad thing that Terenas is willing to expand Lordaeron. If it fails to prevent the outbreak of Scourge, then an integrated Lordaeron can obviously provide more help.
But what Aaron is more curious about is why Terenas didn't turn a deaf ear to his words. Even if he came to this world and changed a lot of things, it didn't incidentally improve the collective IQ of the Lordaeron nobles, right?
In fact, this is Aaron's prejudice. Medivh What is the situation? Although he is the last guardian, it is true, but he did not reveal his identity when he warned the countries. In addition, he had lost most of his guardian power at that time, and he was in a terrible state. Of course, he would be regarded as a crazy old man by the rulers of the countries.
Aaron is also a figure who has spread a great reputation in Eastern Kingdoms. The first time he appeared in the eyes of the nobles, he had the aura of rescuing Red Dragon Queen and eliminating the threat of the Dragonmaw Clan Orcs. Later, he participated in it several times for a long time. It can be said that he has established a solid reputation in all countries.
With the development of Covenant City and Ya-Mei Trading Company over the years, the reputation of Aaron has also been consolidated to a certain extent. Although he does not have a formal noble status, at least his words will not be ignored.
With the permission of Terenas, and Azeroth being the first Paladin to follow - Aaron is not sure that he will be able to defeat Uther without Avatar, which means that Aaron can move a lot more freely within the territory of Lordaeron.
After bidding farewell to Terenas, Aaron immediately reunited with Salorian, got on the carriage and went to Caer Darrow.
Aaron looked at this temporary team along the way, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. Except for the two coachmen who helped drive the carriage, this team happened to be five people. Unfortunately, there was no healing profession like Priest, otherwise it would have been a standard dungeon team. Scholomance happened to be a five-person dungeon, which can be said to be a coincidence.
However, some people in the team are not as relaxed as Aaron. For Illucia, this trip involves her family and everything she is familiar with. She can't help but feel calm. She can't see her usual self at all.
This panic lasted until everyone arrived at Lake Darrowmere where Caer Darrow Island was. Looking at the family castle that was intact and with smoke floating from a distance, Illucia was relieved. However, Vereesa's words made Illucia's heart rise again.
"Isn't the lake a little smelly?"
