A seventeen-year-old Grand Magus! ?
Any wizard who reaches the level of Grand Magus will inevitably become a guest of honor in any kingdom.
He was the only one besides Medivh to become a great wizard at the age of seventeen in the past thousand years.
Countless people were shocked and lost the ability to speak.
"Isn't this too... exaggerated?" King Thoras Trollbane was silent for a long time.
"Haha! If Duke considers himself a dwarf, I will definitely give him the Ironforge Honorary Warrior Medal." Magni Bronzebeard laughed.
"We dwarves don't have mages, and Duke is not a warrior." Muradin Bronzebeard complained about his eldest brother.
"Why isn't he a gnome?" Gelbin said regretfully.
Of course, the happiest country is Stormwind.
Llane received the news. He knew very well that Stormwind was in the stage of restoration. The interior ministers were clearly wishing they could break a copper coin into two halves to spend, but they still announced on the spot that Stormwind would hold a large banquet tonight to celebrate Duke's promotion.
Llane was originally discussing bilateral trade with Daelin, but the two kings couldn't wait for Duke to return from the teleportation array and came together to greet Duke.
Halfway between the venue and the teleportation array, they picked up Duke, who was surrounded by the Windrunner sisters.
"Duke!" Llane's face was filled with surprise. "Aren't you going to participate in the ceremony at the Wyrmrest Temple? How did you suddenly get promoted?"
Daelin: "I'm curious too."
Duke sighed, "Alas, Malygos, the Blue Dragon King, is very grateful to me for helping him avenge his wife's murder. He pulled me aside and insisted on teaching me some magic experience. Since the King of Magic was so kind, I couldn't refuse. I was promoted accidentally!"
Alleria on Duke's right had a hard time holding back her laughter, but she was a very sensible woman and managed to hold back her laughter.
Vereesa on the left couldn't handle it. She secretly covered her mouth because she was afraid that she would accidentally laugh and hurt herself.
Duke had clearly told them two minutes ago that it was he who shamelessly asked Malygos to repay a favor, and then something went wrong, and he was protected by Alexstrasza, and was then promoted directly with the help of the two dragon kings.
When he came before the two kings, how come he became the proud Blue Dragon King who knelt down and licked his ass and recommended him for promotion?
Vereesa was not a person who was good at hiding her emotions, and Alleria also had flaws, but King Daelin didn't care. What Daelin valued was the fact that Duke was promoted.
The rise of Edmund Duke is legendary throughout the Alliance and even the entire human world. The only flaw in this legend is Duke's personal combat power. Although Duke has a record of killing an opponent's swordmaster chief, compared with the brave Uther and Anduin, or compared with Antonidas, Duke's combat power is obviously a level lower.
Now, Duke's last shortcoming has been made up.
What appeared before Daelin was the most perfect Duke.
Daelin said compliments, but no one knew what he was thinking inside.
Anduin also arrived. He was also attending another meeting, and he also rode his horse and rushed here with Mograine who was also attending the meeting.
Without saying anything, he just gave me a bear hug.
"Ahem! I'm going to die! Let go! You orc in human skin--" Duke cursed.
"Hahahaha!" There was laughter everywhere.
It is also a pleasure to bully the new great wizard at the muscle level.
Llane was very pleased. Duke's timely promotion gave him hope for the revival of the Storm Royal Family Mage Corps. Many of the mages that Duke had won over with the Karazhan Library had secretly complained that Duke did not have enough time to guide them. Some of them saw that Duke's rank was not high and wanted to leave.
All of this was solved with Duke's promotion.
Not every apprentice or low-level mage can be taught by Antonidas, let alone the Sun King Anasterian who will not teach outsiders. Being able to receive guidance from a great mage of the Moon is the ultimate goal that most potential magic apprentices can hope for.
I once thought that without Medivh, Stormwind Kingdom would never recover in the mystical realm, but now it seems that this is not the case. As long as Duke can be promoted to Grand Magus before he is thirty, no, fifty, then Stormwind Kingdom's position in the mystical realm will be as solid as a rock.
Unfortunately, Duke told Llane that Karazhan was a bit unstable, otherwise Llane would really like to celebrate for three or five days.
However, this does not affect the dinner tonight.
It was January 2, the third year of the Dark Gate. A New Year's banquet had just been held the night before. Most of the dignitaries had not expected that another grand banquet would be held soon.
Normally, a grand banquet requires a lot of preparation, but because there are banquets almost every day starting from December 25th, the manpower, ingredients and everything are ready, so as long as you can afford it, it can be as luxurious as you want.
Standing at the entrance of the banquet hall of the Stormwind Kingdom's state guesthouse, King Llane, Anduin, and tonight's protagonist Duke accepted the blessings from every guest.
"Congratulations, Sir Edmund!" No one expected that the person who came from Lordaeron was Prince Arthas. Today, Arthas was dressed in a splendid black evening gown specially tailored by the royal tailor, which fit him perfectly. Although Arthas was only 13 years old, his genes made him tall and handsome.
"Thank you, Your Highness Menethil." Duke returned the greeting respectfully.
"Actually, I'm not much younger than you. If possible, I'd like to call you Duke. You can just call me by my first name." Arthas has a handsome face that looks like a spring breeze, making it difficult to refuse his enthusiasm.
"Well then! Welcome, Arthas!" As idiot as Duke was, he secretly put magic power into his arms. At this moment, Duke was like an ogre possessed. With a bear hug, he strangled Arthas so hard that he couldn't breathe.
The 13-year-old boy had not developed well yet, and Arthas was defeated directly.
Uh, people say Duke is weak, that doesn't seem like the case!
Arthas finally managed to catch his breath. Crushed by Duke's strength, his face flushed. "I'm sorry, my father is a little unwell today, so he asked me to come and bless you, Duke, on his behalf."
Uncomfortable? Is Terenas upset?
The bigwigs from various kingdoms who heard this were all laughing.
One after another, dignitaries came to congratulate Duke. Except for Quel'Thalas and Gilneas, which had already withdrawn from the Alliance, bigwigs from all countries came.
The only unexpected guest was Krasus, who came with Rhonin.
After some pleasantries, Krasus asked, "Duke, how about you become Rhonin's teacher?"
