Chapter Forty-Eight: My Sister's Marriage Contract (Part II)

I tell you about my plan, and each of them has their own tasks. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Although no one objected, it doesn't mean that everyone has the same preference for my idea. Gianna, for example, smiled evilly, and my fellow paladin nodded in agreement, but the other two weren't too happy. The two of them showed reluctance and even contempt, first of all, Ronin, he said that it was difficult for him to control the magic task I assigned to him alone, so he had to consult Karegoth, who was more advanced than him, for some details, and Gianna, who was also a mage, followed him to find the blue dragon who was still teaching. All that was left was Winlesa and her disgusted eyes at me for coming up with such a solution, and perhaps she would have remembered how I had managed to get her sister Sylvanas with some crooked tricks, or perhaps she would have been unconsciously defensive of me...... Whatever she is, as long as the person concerned doesn't care, it's nothing, and I'm sure that even if Sylvanas knew that I had used some tricks against her at this time, she wouldn't have diminished her affection for me, and I don't think Winlesa would remember it when the two sisters met again.

Everything is planned, just waiting for Ronin, Gianna can learn the skill of invading personal dreams from the blue dragon. This kind of spell may require a high level of comprehension on the part of the caster, but since Khadgar can use such a spell, there is absolutely no reason why these two close friends, who have the same talent, should not learn it. Moreover, even if it was rushed this time, it could not be done immediately. With Gianna in the background, it would be nice to let Karegos perform the spell himself. The reason why I arranged for them was to let them both master more skills.

Now the mage is gone, leaving only a few of us paladins and a Light Ranger. At this time, if it were another time, we would definitely tease this beautiful woman who had just despised me with our character, but thinking of the ceremony the day after tomorrow, we felt that it was still necessary to review our oath and the solemn steps we would have taken at that time. It would be a shame to be if they or they were to make a basket out of that feast attended by all human kings.

It was during this time that I was thinking about another question, and that was that the fourth person to attend the investiture ceremony, besides me, Farik Winressa, ---- Varian. I've been wondering why he waited until the day before the ceremony to arrive at Lordaeron's Royal City. Why don't you take this opportunity to come here first, so that you can not only negotiate the alliance with your father, but also renew your friendship with us and others, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Or maybe it's because of some political scruples?' I thought, maybe I'd better explore it before the ceremony, or even before I meet him.

I had heard that the envoys from Stormwind would arrive in Nanhai in the afternoon, just as Ronin and Gianna had returned, and in their satisfied smiles, they had learned their skills from the Blue Dragon. So at my request, Ronin teleported me and him to that location to meet this friend I hadn't seen for many years. However, it is different from ordinary members. I was trying to watch in the shadows so he wouldn't know I existed. So I need someone to help me with my invisibility.

It is true that to change to another human mage, just teleporting at such a distance is already a fantasy, and it would feel a bit excessive to let him perform it. However, at this time, Luo Ning is no longer the half-person who cheated his teammates at that time a long time ago, and he can easily complete all the tasks I requested, which is enough to prove that he is already one of the best human archmages at this time. I was so convinced of the advisor's abilities that I walked into Varian's camp.

Soon I found him inside, sitting on the floor with the others by a fire, and after years of not seeing him, I could not help but take a closer look at the face of this friend, compared to the memories of the past, he was now a completely good-looking young man, his skin was still dark and covered by the armor of the ornate griffin pattern, I really did not expect to wear such a warrior ornament when he met the minister, and the scar on his face that had stopped in it since I first met him. And the greatsword that Lothar left behind, and the messy hair that was merely tied with a simple headband, it was hard for me to imagine that he was a king, far more so than the lords of Prodmoor.

However, the people of Stormwind seem to be accustomed to this, and each of them is dressed in armor, and at first I thought that they were guards, but after careful inspection, I realized that these were the ministers of Stormwind. Together, they discussed some of the alliances and some of the diplomatic matters that they would face. Luckily, they were just getting started when I arrived, which meant that I could take the opportunity to get a glimpse of their personalities and attitudes towards some of the political aspects.

I looked at the identities of these people carefully, and indeed many of them seemed familiar, because they had fled to our royal city a few years ago, so some of them could still be named.

Remembering that they were treated in the same way as the ministers of Lordaeron, I took it for granted that since we had given them benefits, they should have said something nice about our diplomacy. But the reality was the opposite, and as soon as they had taken their seats, two ministers who had greeted my father with a smile appeared and gestured to each other, and began to recount something that made me angry.

"There is definite information that Gianna, the only daughter of Dailene, has a very close relationship with Arthas. ”

"Yes, and I've heard that Kurtilas has now completely fallen to Lordaeron..... and if you count Otlant, I don't think even if you unite with the other kingdoms, you won't be able to compete with it. ”

I couldn't help but feel angry as I listened to these two men sow discord in the relationship between our country, but I couldn't do anything about my identity and state. Ronin didn't think so, he smiled at me, and then wrote in the air what he wanted to persuade me.

"That's politics"

Yes, that's politics. At the thought of this, my anger dropped considerably, especially when I saw Wari's pampered face, and then I realized that I was inferior to him too much in this respect, so I resisted my anger, and my face turned as calm as Varian.

"You want to say that the fear of Lordaeron is a threat?" Varian smiled and questioned, or the question of the two ministers was already reflected in his tone. But this attitude did not make them both hold back, but more insistent on their own views.

"We in Stormwind are not afraid of any threat, not even the tribes......" Ronin couldn't help but show a sneering expression when they said this, everyone knew that this was talking nonsense with their eyes open. Stormwind is strong, but it was easily defeated by the Horde. But they have their own reasons for this. "If it weren't for that Orc Garona, we would have been able to take them under the city. ”

At this time, Varian's face turned pale when he heard this.

I knew that it was a bruise in Wari to witness the orc stabbing his father to death, and perhaps the two of them were trying to strengthen their tone and convincing in this way, but this act of achieving their political goals was suddenly met by a minister I didn't know by Varian's side.

"But in fact, the alliance did its best to defeat the tribe. The minister retorted to them, and it was a relief to hear that someone could speak from the point of view of the harmony between the two countries. However, Varian's doubts did not stop the two of them from expressing their opinions, let alone the minister's statement, but fortunately, this person also insisted on his own opinion.

"The coalition wasn't united, they weren't as hard as we were. ”

"You dare to say that Riptide Castle, Lordaeron and Kul Tiras didn't do their best. "Another general with whom I remember participating in the defense of the city refuted them both. "Have you forgotten the fierceness of the battle under Lordaeron?"

"It was forced," the man insisted on his point of view, and then gave a more convincing reason. He'd just said about Varian's sore spots, and this time he'd like to mention Stormwind..."Lordaeron has always wanted to push the battlefield away from them, and Kurtilas has only fought frontal battles in the Endless Sea, and has not used his main force to participate in the land war with the Horde at all, if it weren't for the timely reinforcements of the Griffin Knights of Kurand, maybe those weak guys would have died in the sea. And we are always on the front line at all times, and in the later expeditionary force, we lost almost half of the army, and they are all the elites who survived in Stormwind, and all of them are left in that world! We should break away from the alliance like Riptide Castle and form our original orthodox Arathi Empire. ”

When the two people said this, the scene fell silent again, although the battle with the tribe made Lordaeron sacrifice a lot, but if it was compared with Stormwind City, it was not a grade at all, according to our intelligence, counting the sacrifice of the expeditionary force, Stormwind City at least lost more than seventy percent of the original soldiers and civilians, this country that could be compared with Lordaeron suffered such a loss, the bitterness is indeed difficult to say, and just two sentences of such a complaint are indeed understandable.... Thinking of this, my original hatred for those two people disappeared completely, and I turned to a sympathetic attitude.

The calm did not last long, and the minister, whom I did not know, continued to refute them.

"What's the benefit of breaking away from the Alliance? Treachery? Would Lothar want to see that if he lived?"

"But the current alliance is simply not something we can dominate. ”

"Yes, that's because we're not the same anymore," the minister closed his eyes in agony, and then went on to state his opinion. "But I don't believe Lordaeron would change his mind, and they've never done anything like that, everything you say is just speculation. ”

"Times are changing, Otlant is gone, and Kul Tiras will follow in his footsteps in a few decades. Maybe then..."

"Everything will have to wait until we reach them, and as you said, Stormwind will not be defeated. Just as the skeptic was about to continue, Varian interrupted him, initially refuting the questioner, but the latter reassuring his dismissal. In this way, the combination of grace and power convinced everyone. The scene gradually calmed down, but this only temporarily suppressed the emotion..... I now realize that perhaps this is what makes them feel uneasy, that the delicate balance that once two great powers, once on equal footing, one has fallen and the other has become stronger, does invisibly affect the delicate balance of their psyche. That's what we at Lordaeron are like that for them. It gives them invisible pressure, and no matter how much help you have given them, you can't change it in essence. Perhaps this is one of the real reasons why Fort Riptide, known for its righteousness, broke away from the Alliance.

It was at this time that another minister beside Varian, whom I had no impression of, spoke, and although he appeared to be the youngest besides Varian, everyone paid attention to his stand.

"I think we should think about ourselves first, the tribe of the Blackstone Tower has a resurgence, according to some captives they are summoning demons, and if this is true, we in Stormwind will be the first to bear the brunt. ”

When he said this, everyone whispered in private. To this, Varian showed a determined expression, and replied in the affirmative, "This is what we should discuss with Terenus, our economy is just starting, and we don't have much money and food to deal with large-scale operations. Let their armies join us in the purge of the orcs, for the sake of the Alliance and our race. ”

The vast majority of people agreed with this decision, although some people expressed unwillingness, but still no one had a better opinion, after all, they were also very aware that the current situation of Stormwind City was already miserable, and thinking about the natural and pleasant mental outlook of Stormwind King Ryan and his ministers that they had seen in Riptide Castle when they were children, there was a world of difference now.

Perhaps the sad thing passed after all, and as in this topic, they continued to discuss other political matters within them around this campfire, and I could not only learn the truth about them here, but also recognize the identity of the young man and the middle-aged man adorned with the knights, the former being Reginald, who was later promoted by Tulayan, who was only a squad leader in the early days of the war, until he was finally promoted to the present marshal with the great attrition of the army and non-commissioned officers and his outstanding personal ability, and the other was the one who made me feel a little dramatic, the one who took over'My' Regent of Birva, in their conversation, I learned that this guy had been fighting guerrilla warfare in the Stormwind Territory and the orc garrison during the war, so I hadn't seen his face until now.

Being in this world for a long time has made me forget a lot of memories about them, such as these two people, I can't think of too much background, but vaguely remember that these two people are very important.

Just when I wanted to continue to learn more through their communication, Luo Ning suddenly grabbed my hand and teleported me to a long distance away from the camp in an instant.

I was very puzzled by his unauthorized actions, but what surprised me even more was that at this moment, I found that beads of sweat were already covered with Luo Ning's panicked face.....
