Chapter 1083: War of Ideas in the Kirin Tor

Remember [New] in a second! As Aegwynn said, even after more than 2,000 years of management by the Kirin Tor Council, Dalaran is still a relatively free city-state.

In the original history, Khadgar, as the successor of Karazhan, joined Dalaran at some point in the future and became one of the six councilors of the Kirin Tor.

He even took over the position of Speaker of the Kirin Tor after Jaina, the then speaker, resigned due to disagreements.

Even so, Khadgar, who had become the pillar of Dalaran at that time, often returned to Karazhan to discuss the future of Azeroth with Medivh.

Yes, Medivh.

As Moros said before, as a star mage with a long history in Azeroth, Medivh didn't die so easily.

After the Battle of Mount Hyjal in the original history, Medivh, who was revived by Aegwynn exhausted the power of the Guardian, disappeared mysteriously.

In fact, he hid in the reflection Karazhan to observe the stars in the universe, and handed over the future to Khadgar and other young talents of the younger generation.

In theory, Karazhan has the potential to rival the magical city-state of Dalaran, but that is under the premise that Medivh, the last guardian of Tirisfal, sits in charge.

It's no joke that Medivh at his peak was able to wipe out the Kirin Tor six-member council of his time alone, which was also proved in the destruction of the Tirisfal Council.

After Aegwynn left with the power of the guardian, the influence and strength of the Tirisfal Council obviously weakened.

But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Sharlayan didn't think that the number of wizards in the Tirisfal Council at that time would be less than that of the Kirin Tor.

However, this powerful organization that had guarded Azeroth for more than 2,000 years was dismissed lightly by Medivh, and it was not until the return of Meri Winterwind that it gradually recovered a little vitality.

Without the town of Medivh, Karazhan is just a larger mage tower, which cannot be compared with Dalaran, the city of a thousand towers.

With the demise of Medivh...or the soul of Sargeras, the power of guardians passed down by the Tirisfal Council for thousands of years was also lost.

Although the revived Medivh still has experience, his absolute power is no longer as brave as before, and he can no longer overwhelm the crowd.

After becoming the chairman of the Kirin Tor, Ronin intends to reform the ancient rules of Dalaran. From the fact that he took the initiative to show favor to Khadgar before, we can see some clues. The new chairman has already recruited Khadgar to join The will of the Kirin Tor.

But... as the saying goes, a slap can't make a sound.

Khadgar still has doubts about Dalaran due to the past behavior of the retired old speaker Antonidas, and he can only slowly resolve his knots through time.

Leaving aside Khadgar, Jaina was a closed disciple accepted by Antonidas before his retirement. From the very beginning, he wanted this talented Princess of Kul Tiras to join the Kirin Tor Council in the future.

Antonidas' plan certainly has some political considerations, but that's not all.

If Jaina, who is young and energetic and has a stronger ability to accept new things, joins the Kirin Tor, she will be able to form a good cooperation with the new speaker Ronin, who is hard to applaud.

Rhonin has been with Sharlayan for many years, and it is inevitable that he will be influenced by some of his ideas.

Rhonin has seen the various reforms that Sharlayan implemented in Quel'Thalas, and has truly experienced the benefits these reforms have brought to Quel'Thalas. Naturally, he wants to follow suit.

However, different countries have different national conditions. Luo Ning, who was determined to reform, was helplessly staggered by some conservative old mages in the Kirin Tor Council.

Aegwynn's proposal pointed out Rhonin's troubles. If there were more young fresh blood in the Kirin Tor Council, he would be able to gain greater support and carry out drastic reforms to Dalaran.

Currently, there are only five members of the six councilors in Dalaran, namely Speaker Rhonin, Councilor Modera, Aethas Sunreaver, Ansrem Luinwivor, and Karine.

The sixth position was assigned to Jaina by Antonidas early in the morning, waiting for her, who is a genius, to break through the bottleneck and truly become a magician.

Among these five people, Aethas Sunreaver, who was beaten by Sharlayan in the early years, has already straightened his buttocks. He is the representative of Quel'Thalas' will in Dalaran, and he will naturally follow the Sun King's instructions. It meant standing on Ronin's side.

Kalein, Modera, and Ansrem are all old mages of the same era as Antonidas.

These three archmages from the old era had relatively conservative ideas, and they united many times to vote against the reform bill advocated by Luo Ning.

As the speaker, Ronin has two votes. Even with Azshara's support, he can only tie with the opposition.

"Um…"

Sharlayan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "So, the problem still lies in the vacant member of parliament, right?"

Aegwynn nodded: "Both Rhonin and Aethas believe that they should follow the old speaker's entrustment before leaving office, and leave this seat to the promising Jaina."

"However, Modera, Karine, and Ansrem think that the seats of the six councilors should be filled as soon as possible, and they recommended a sorcerer named Vargos."

"Coincidentally, Vargos was also trapped in Draenor with the expeditionary force in the early years. He just returned to Azeroth not long ago. The two sides are arguing about this vacant parliamentary seat."

"This is also one of the reasons why Ronin took the initiative to throw an olive branch to Khadgar. He wanted to let the young and energetic Khadgar occupy this vacant position, and then make another adjustment after Jaina's official breakthrough... It is best to Kick out another conservative."

Although Jaina's rapid growth is due to her own outstanding talent, she cannot do without the help of many nobles along the way.

Kael'thas, Antonidas, and Aegwynn, three powerful and experienced archmages have taught her successively, and Elisande, the great magister of Suramar, has also had a long-term "spirituality" with Jaina. academic exchanges".

From Aegwynn's point of view, she certainly hopes that her named apprentice can successfully become a member of the Kirin Tor, and her position is undoubtedly consistent with Jaina's partner, Sharlayan.

'Factional struggles within Dalaran... no, a battle of ideas? '

Where there are people, there will be fights. Sharlayan has long known this truth, and he is not surprised by the internal confrontation in Dalaran.

Whether there are other considerations behind the opposition of the three senior councilors to the reform, Sharlayan is not clear for the time being, and he is not interested in in-depth investigation. After all, this is Dalaran's own family business.

Sharlayan never thought of restraining Jaina by his side. Letting Jaina join the Kirin Tor was a decision he and Antonidas had discussed a long time ago, and even Kael'thas had a hand in it.

Jaina's identity is relatively complicated. She has the triple identity of Princess of Kul Tiras, Sun King's apprentice and Antonidas' apprentice at the same time, and now she also has a partner of the Duke of Deep Shadow.

To some extent, Jaina's entry into the Kirin Tor Council is an unstoppable trend, because her existence represents the friendship between Quel'Thalas, Dalaran, and Kul Tiras.

Modera, Ansrem, and Karine didn't even think about forcibly preventing Jaina from joining. They just wanted to delay this time point and force the isolated and helpless Ronin to give up what they thought was too radical a reform plan.

Sharlayan was not familiar with Ansrem and Kalein, but Modera could be regarded as his "old acquaintance".

Even though the two parties have shaken hands and reconciled under the arrangement of Antonidas, Sharlayan still doesn't have any good feelings for this evergreen tree of the Kirin Tor with great humanism.

In public or private, Sharlayan had no reason to object to Aegwynn's proposal.

In any case, whether Jaina can join the Kirin Tor to occupy the space before Vargos~lightnovelpub.net~ ultimately depends on herself.

As long as Jaina breaks through to become an archmage, and the undead veteran of the Kirin Tor, Antonidas, stands behind her, the three of Modera can only pinch their noses and watch her take the place.

This will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the votes of reformers and conservatives in the Kirin Tor Council, and the three veteran archmages will no longer be able to stop Ronin's reforms.

Khadgar has not been able to make progress for the time being, and he can only slowly adjust his views on Dalaran by his own seeing is believing.

As for Jaina...

"I already know the whole story."

Sharlayan exchanged glances with Aegwynn with flickering eyes: "Just in time, I'm going to rush to Jaina next, and I will do my best to help her make a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Aegwynn smiled and showed understanding: "Then I will leave it to you. Today's Azeroth is not an era where you can pass by by sticking to the old rules."

"In order to catch up with the wave of the new era, Dalaran...or all mages must keep up with the changes of the times, otherwise...the old Tirisfal Council is a lesson from the past."
