Chapter 213 Grand Speaker Ronin
The real person is Luo Ning...
Rhonin was originally an ordinary magic apprentice in Dalaran, but by chance, he participated in the Battle of Mount Hyjal and saved the world.
After the death of Master Andandanis, Krasus proposed and nominated Rhonin for the position of Grand Chancellor of the Kirin Tor.
Rhonin led the post-war reconstruction of Dalaran...
This previously unknown archmage, who had actually become a trainee councilor of the Kirin Tor long ago, was actually straightforward, decisive, and intelligent, and was deeply trusted by Krasus.
What others may not know, the elders of Kirin Tor actually understand that behind Rhonin stands a mysterious clan of guardian dragons.
Long ago, Rhonin participated in the War of the Ancients. Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragon Aspect of Time, chose him and had him participate in several time-traveling battles against the Burning Legion's invasion.
Rhonin and his companions defeated the orc warlocks and the Dragonmaw clan, and together they saved the red dragonflight, including the red dragon queen Alexstrasza...
Rhonin has clashed with Deathwing, the Black Dragon Aspect, several times, awakened Ysera, the Green Dragon Aspect, in the Emerald Dream, and faced the distraught Malygos, the Blue Dragon Aspect. He also has Korathraz, who goes by the alias Krasus but is actually the most magically gifted member of the Red Dragonflight, as his mentor and guide. It seems only natural that he would become the leader of Dalaran and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the world.
In reality, it was through countless life-and-death adventures with his current wife Vereesa & Windrunner, the old orc warrior, and the dwarf adventurer that he achieved his current success.
Luo Ning is a legend...
He was undoubtedly a hero, and he had relatively little prejudice against other races.
Such a fair and selfless leader of Dalaran is acceptable, especially with the strong support of the old Speaker Krasus, the red dragon!
Now, things have changed...
Rhonin stood atop the magic tower, listening to the mages' loud arguments, and could only frown in thought. The High Priest of the Kirin Tor had returned to the city, and all the major councilors had gathered... Apart from the archmages who were risking their lives outside, everyone of status and position had entered the Violet Castle tower.
Luo Ning is back; he had to come back...
Although it may seem that a mage's teleportation spell only lasts for an instant, one still needs to be careful when casting this spell that travels between two places. If one is not careful, one may get lost in an unknown dimension.
This is especially true for ultra-long-distance teleportation...
"Khadgar bears the primary responsibility; the enemies were all 'guests' he brought in!"
Ansrem is now much tougher because almost all the human factions have rallied, and he is no longer alone in being suppressed by Khadgar.
With the return of the Grand Chancellor, Khadgar's position as acting Chancellor naturally became invalid.
Master Anslem was finally ready to vent his anger.
"What kind of time is this to be shirking responsibility? Right now, we need to resolve the conflict between the Alliance and the Horde as soon as possible. They're causing trouble in our home. What are you Violet Eyes doing...?"
A black and white cat leaped onto the table, then took two steps onto the senator's ornate chair...
“I warned you, but you didn’t listen. The Violet Eye is responsible for internal surveillance and guarding the core buildings. Aren’t the prison and this place doing just fine? Don’t you know my people are still risking their lives outside?”
The cat appears to have human-like expressions. This is the Violet Spy she has dealt with before; in reality, she is a core member of the Arcane [Transformation] school... For some reason, she has difficulty transforming back into human form.
"The problem now is that enemies have infiltrated Dalaran. How can we get rid of them? Should we just throw them out of the sky?"
"That's your problem. We're only responsible for closing the door... beating the dog, and catching the fugitive! Nothing else matters..."
......
"You...are incompetent!"
"If you're so good, why don't you do it yourself?"
......
"Enough. Now that the city lord has returned, he will make his own decision. Master Khadgar already sent Master Aethas and Master Mordra to mediate... why haven't they returned yet..."
"By the way, where is Lord Krasus?"
The council members in the discussion suddenly realized that Master Krasus hadn't returned to Dalaran with Rhonin...
They all turned to look at Speaker Ronin...
Rhonin sighed. "Teacher Krasus has resigned as Speaker of the Kirin Tor, and you will elect another one after him... Now is not the time to talk about that. I told you to call Jaina back; has she come?"
Everyone was shocked to hear that Krasus had resigned.
The veteran senator who knew Krasus's true identity probably understood the reason...
The Kirin Tor mages, unaware of Krasus's true identity as a red dragon, all looked distressed, as if they had lost the support of a highly respected old mage.
Some people also feel that with one of the six seats for speaker vacant, there seems to be another opportunity to advance further.
Krasus's appearance as a high elf has caused concern among the Sunreaver mages and some high elf mages of the Silver Covenant. They fear that the high elves' influence in Dalaran will diminish further, and that human mages will ultimately hold the reins...
"Jaina?"
"The Princess of Kul Tiras..."
"No, he's a direct disciple of Master Anton Danis. He's currently the leader of the Theramore immigrants... and an advisor to the Stormwind court mages..."
The members of parliament talked all at once, but no one answered the Speaker's question...
Perhaps they were unaware, perhaps they simply disregarded the Grand Speaker, or perhaps they simply didn't care...
Rhonin knew that if this dragged on any longer, the crisis in Dalaran would inevitably not end well. Apart from Khadgar, almost everyone here seemed like aloof, indifferent noble lords... He suddenly realized that this place was no different from a vegetable market.
Aethas sought mediation from the Queen of Undercity, while Mordra went to Vereesa to appease the Alliance...
With neither of the two members of the Council of Tirisfal returning, and Khadgar alone, Rhonin sensed that things were getting complicated. His delay in going out to stop the chaos was to wait for the Alliance and the Horde's stance.
"Master Luo Ning, I've arrived..."
Just as Rhonin was getting anxious, Jaina appeared at the entrance to the conference hall. She had clearly passed through several gates and checks before gaining access to the Kirin Tor's core...
Although she was also a councilor, the defenses inside Violet Castle had been strengthened more than tenfold.
Strictly speaking, even if the entire city of Dalaran were to fall, Violet Castle would still be an impregnable magical castle.
After getting married, Red-Haired Rhonin cut his long hair, but still kept a small mustache... He looks slightly younger than the legendary Dalaran mage, Master Rhonin... quite different from the white-bearded mage with his long wizard's hat...
Jaina, with her graceful bearing and undiminished air, strode confidently into the council hall, completely ignoring the other mages... even some of whom were her former magical mentors...
Now that she has grown into a leader, everyone feels that Jaina is likely to succeed Rhonin, even though Rhonin is currently in his prime.
With Krasus gone, one less pillar, it was time for Rhonin to truly have a say.
“Jaina, it’s good to see you back. The Kirin Tor needs you now… I also have a question. You said you discovered that the disappearance of the Stormwind King is related to the black dragon?”
Jaina nodded, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself...
She glanced back at the surrounding councilors, seemingly unwilling to answer Ronin in front of so many people.
Ronin nodded, announcing the end of the parliamentary session. Everyone was to return to their posts; he would go out immediately to resolve the issue, but needed to speak privately with Representative Gianna...
The councilors were somewhat embarrassed. They had thought it would be another long meeting, but after only 5 minutes, Luo Ning dismissed everyone... The city lord had given the order directly, so it seemed that Luo Ning's dominance was now a foregone conclusion.
Speaker Ansrem was about to say a few more words when Rhonin and Jaina instantly entered the portal to the secret chamber at the top of the tower...
He could only grit his teeth and glare at Khadgar...
Khadgar, however, was drawn to the image of resistance projected by the Violet Eye magic crystal. He stared silently at the scene within the crystal, watching a strange, dark-haired human mage attacking various factions...
"Hmm? What's he doing? The staff in his hand...it looks like...?"
Khadgar stared intently at the screen, increasingly finding the strange mage's staff strangely familiar, so familiar that his eyes practically peered into the crystal...
"No, I have to go out and check..."
