Chapter 138: Storm Deliberations
(inside Stormwind Stormwind Fortress)
After Valeera returned to Stormwind, King Varian called an emergency meeting and summoned all the high-ranking officials, even Gianna, who was not very good with Stormwind, was invited to this meeting, and everyone sat at the table of the meeting, listening to Valeera tell the story of the development of the matter, frowning one by one.
"So according to that priest's words, Deathwing is back?"
"Yes! His Majesty the King. β
"Your Majesty, this is just a one-sided statement by General Valera and an unknown priest, and it is not enough to prove it!"
"Enough!" Varian interrupted the rebuttal, for Valeera, Varian trusts Valilla more than anyone else, if it is just a priest's one-sided words, I believe that Valilla will not report it, "This matter is really strange, and Valeera is so serious, if she says so, there must be something wrong in it, so be it, Gianna, please go to Kalimdo, tell Sal about it, see what he thinks, it is best to convince him, find a place to have a meeting and talk, if Sal agrees, call Murray too, Valeera, By the way, you call Muradin, if you can...... Is it okay to have a meeting in Theramore, Gianna? β
Varian sent out a series of orders in an instant, and although Gianna no longer belonged to Stormwind, she still habitually obeyed Varian's orders.
"Also, Blackstone Mountain must continue to explore, Shore, this task is entrusted to you, can it be completed?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, MI7 will definitely complete its mission!"
"Okay, I'll go back and write a letter and ask the dwarves to cooperate with you."
"Don't bother, Your Majesty."
Madiassholl is the leader of MI7, knowing that humans and dwarves had a little misunderstanding, Madias didn't want Stormwind to owe Ironforge favors, so he bluntly refused, and Varian also liked Matthias's outspoken personality so he chose him to be the director of the Intelligence Bureau.
"Okay, good luck then."
"Dnev, count the supplies, and give me a clear figure tomorrow at the latest."
Vorsserdenev, a female High Elf, is a thief and a mage, serving as the head of logistics in Stormwind, but in fact she is also a high-ranking officer of MI7, and only a few people know her identity, which is also the difference of MI7, not only has its own people lurking in the enemy, but also has people lurking here to prevent spies and betrayal.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay, let's start acting according to the instructions just now, be careful, don't be too public, don't reveal the slightest inside story, don't let the soldiers and civilians panic."
When the meeting ended, the crowd dispersed, leaving Varian alone with his hands behind his back, looking out the window.
"Father!"
Varian turned around and saw his son, Anduin.
"Father, is there another war?"
Varian smiled and walked over and put his hand on Anduin's shoulder: "There is no need for war, it is a time of peace." β
"Every time you say that, father, it's going to be a war, I'm an adult, father, who is our enemy this time? Sal them? β
Varian smiled and said nothing, and Anduin then asked, "Father, can't we live in peace without fighting?" β
"Come and see here, Anduin."
Varian took Anduin to the window, pointed outside and asked, "Anduin, you look at the scenery outside, every time I have a meeting, I like to listen to everyone's reports and look at the scenery outside." β
The conference room was located at the back of the Storm Keep, and looking out of the window, it was not a rush of traffic or guards, but a forest of golden leaves, and the sea in the distance, golden and emerald blue complemented each other, giving a sense of serene and harmonious tranquility.
"This is our home. For many years, he has suffered from foreign invasions, whether it is a scourge or an orc, whether it is a burning legion or a dead soul. In the end, they were all defeated by us, and my people have never turned their backs on me, and I will not abandon my people. β
Varian crouched in front of Anduin, "Anduin, everything I do is to protect my people, and I'm not obsessed with fighting, but sometimes, if I want to protect the people, I have to fight!" β
The young prince listened to his father's teachings, in a sense, Anduin agreed with his father's approach, only on the issue of orcs, Anduin wanted to live in peace with Chief Thrall through diplomacy, but Varian knew that this was impossible, Anduin was too naΓ―ve, maybe he wanted Anduin to keep this naivety, and did not interfere too much in Anduin's life.
After Anduin left his father, he did not return to his residence, but changed into civilian clothes and quietly left the Storm Fortress and walked along the path towards the river. The security in Stormwind City is very good, so Anduin walks alone in the alleys between the buildings and no one has any anxiety.
Today, though, a strangely dressed man caught his eye. He was tall, but he wore a very large robe, so large that it covered his whole body, even his shoes and hands were in the robe. There is a large cap on the robe that covers the hood inside. The man was leaning against the wall, motionless.
Anduin thought for a while, although there were few people begging in Stormwind City, he still took out the change from his pocket and walked over to hand it to him, but he didn't know where to stuff it, so he asked, "Hello, wanderer, welcome to Stormwind City, do you need help?" β
The man Anduin called the wanderer did not speak, but turned his head to look at Anduin, who also saw a wrinkled face, and although the light inside the hat was very dark, the white eyebrows and beard were clearly visible.
"Do you need help?"
After Anduin's questioning again, the wanderer finally spoke, "Aren't you afraid of me, young man?" β
"Not afraid, why be afraid?"
"You're not afraid of what kind of bad person I'm in?"
"This is Stormwind, and there will be no bad guys."
"Haha, you're naΓ―ve, boy." The wanderer said as he reached out his blue hand and removed his hat, revealing a blue head with a purple beacon on his head and a scaly scalp telling Anduin that it was not human. The wanderer looked at Anduin with interest, "Young man, what now?" β
"Do you need help, this wanderer? Are you infected by something? β
The wanderer was surprised, his face had already scared off countless humans, why was this human in front of him so calm: "Young man, aren't you afraid that I am a demon?" β
Anduin smiled, "There are demon detectors in Stormwind City, everywhere, and besides, if you were a demon, would you talk to me?" β
"Ha, smart boy. I don't need help though, I'm looking for the footsteps of one of my companions. β
"Oh? Looking for here? β
"Yes, I'm listening to the conversation of passers-by, so get out of here, boy, I don't need your help."
Anduin thought for a while: "Okay, then I'll go, and if you have a problem, you can come to me, go to the Stormwind Fortress, and tell the doorman to find Prince Anduin, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, be careful with your appearance, this companion of yours must be very important to you, otherwise you won't come out like this to find out about him, I hope you can find him." β
Anduin hesitated, but shoved it into the wanderer's hand. Just as he was about to leave, the wanderer grabbed Anduin's arm and returned the money.
"Boy, no, it should be said that it is a prince, I am honored to meet you, you are a kind and intelligent prince, I believe that if there is another day, you must be a wise king, but I really don't need your help, thank you, although I am a wanderer, but not all wanderers have lost themselves."
After Anduin left the wanderer, he turned into an inn, slowly touched the door of a room, knocked on the door, and a woman opened the door, and when she saw Anduin, she was very happy and said, "Ha, I thought you wouldn't come." β
Anduin looked left and right and walked into the door: "Why didn't I come, there was a little delay on the road just now, but it doesn't matter." β
When Anduin walked into the room, there were two women inside, one was Valeera and the other was Gianna, who had just received Varian's diplomatic mission. As Anduin's mentor, Valeera likes Anduin very much, although Anduin is not a warrior at all, but Valeera does not force it, but tries her best to teach Anduin basic self-defense and survival skills.
"Prince Anduin, are you sure you want to come with me to Kalimdor?"
"Yes, Miss Gianna, I think I'm better suited to diplomacy than war, so I'd like to learn from you, I think we've talked about that before."
Gianna hesitated again and again, opened her mouth and said: "I think I still have to reiterate, first of all, you are a prince, last time you went to the dwarves, your father almost slaughtered the city of Ironforge Fort for you, this time we are going to Kalimdor, and may also enter Orgrimmar, if the orcs forcibly detain you, then not only will it cause the third large-scale war between humans and orcs, but even the neutral city organization to which I belong will be implicated, so this series will turn into a world war, and the whole world will exchange fire." β
"But Miss Gianna, you're not going to let it happen, are you?"
"Well, after you leave Stormwind, you will be at my disposal in all your actions."
"Okay."
"Alright, then let's get ready, let's go to Hearthstone to find Murray first."
Valera suddenly interjected, "Hearthstone? You say Murray is in Hearthstone? β
"Yes, although His Majesty asked me to go to Orgrimmar first to persuade Sal and then to Murray, I feel that in order to convince Sal, the order must be reversed."
The clever Anduin nodded secretly as he listened to Gianna's thoughts, thinking in his heart what kind of person this Murray was, and he could talk about moving Sal.
"That." Valera continued, "Your Highness is bothering you with something, is it okay to go to Hearthstone City to help me inquire about the person 'Chen Zhuo'?" He's a friend of mine, and he didn't come to me as agreed after his last mission, so I'm worried about him. β
"Oh? Valeera, do you have any friends in Hearthstone? Okay, I'll go check on him. β
"Okay, thank you."
Anyway, Murray didn't know that someone was looking for him now, and he was sad about Chen Zhuo's affairs. Chen Zhuo fell into a coma after drinking the potion. This elixir will arouse the desires in people's hearts, especially the desire for power, so it will make Chen Zhuo a demon. Before Chen Zhuo drank it, he had advanced the wave imp and summoned a succubus from the supply point, which evolved into an internal catalyst, coupled with Si Jilao's external stimulation of Chen Zhuo, so that Chen Zhuo's thirst for power reached its peak.
Aland walked into Chen Zhuo's hospital room, saw Murray drinking alone, came up and patted Murray on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, Old Chen, I know what happened, Aina Willy ...... How is Chen now. β
Murray looked at Chen Zhuo lying on the bed, took a sip of wine, waved his hand at Aland, and motioned for Aland to come closer, and when Aland's ear was close to Murray's mouth, the three words popped out gently.
"Yi! Sharp! Cinnabar! β
