During this long night, when the three girls had all returned to their rooms and exchanged their harvest for the day, in a quaint and dilapidated house in the old town, Master Madias Shore had not rested, he was full of energy, and it was normal for him to work late into the night.

While Claudia was treating the wounded soldiers, he had already returned to MI7 and ordered to collect all the information about the girl.

MI7 was very efficient, and when messages came, his assistant sorted out the information collected by agents from all over the world, and then gently put it on his desk, saluted, and quietly left.

At this moment, he was reading the information he had gathered, and a man in a black ponytail and a black tights pushed the door and walked in, it was none other than the Assassin Osber who was in charge of protecting the prince in the daytime palace.

Looking at Madias, who was still reading the information, Osber tentatively spoke: "Boss. ”

"Your Highness is already asleep?" Madias glanced up at him and placed the information in his hand on the table.

"It should be, Serra was telling a story to His Highness when I left, and I heard Arthur say that you summoned me to come over quickly."

Madias had already sat up straight, looking at his subordinates in front of him, and his majestic eyes made Osbo in front of him feel a little weak.

"Osber, what do you have to say about the day?"

Osber swallowed and said with some trepidation: "I'm sorry, chief, I thought it was far enough away, and the Shadow Curtain would easily not be seen through, and it would be ......fine. ”

Matthias's face was full of disappointment: "Osber, you are one of the most powerful people in the organization, don't you know why you are still at the middle finger level until now?" ”

"Compare, also my grandmother's student, whose job do you think you can replace now? Let you do one thing and mess up one piece! ”

"I originally planned to let you defend the prince for a while, and then I promoted you to the index finger level, but I didn't expect you to be able to do such a simple thing like this, I was wondering if it would be better for Arthur to defend the prince for you."

The lethality of this sentence was obvious, and Osber immediately begged: "Chief, don't transfer me away from Your Highness, Arthur's duties are much more important than mine." You can lower me to the pinky finger level, or hang me from the roof for a day. ”

Matthias replied angrily: "What am I hanging you from the roof for?" Do you want all of Stormwind to know you're an agent? Since you are so loyal to Your Highness, don't take Your Highness to do illegal things in the future! ”

"Today's memorabilia is more than once, and your promotion is gone, I will often send people to keep an eye on you in the future, remember, this is the last time."

"Now, get out of here, go and get Arthur back."

Osber's hanging heart immediately relaxed, but he was still a little hesitant, and Matthias frowned when he saw this and asked, "What else do you want to say?" ”

"Boss, I will definitely admit punishment for my own mistakes, but in the prince's place, Ms. Chennie is indeed too strict."

"Remember, we are agents, and your mission is to secretly defend His Highness, and other things are not for us to worry about."

"But, sir, Your Highness is destined to be the king of this country in the future, how can you be managed every day by a bunch of female officials like teaching noble ladies?"

Thinking back to the little boy who was silent during the day, Madias was silent for a while, and then said, "You go back first, and I will convey your words to Your Majesty." ”

After Osber's disappearance, Matthias continued to read the information for a while, and when he saw one of them, his pupils constricted, and he immediately put it in a sheepskin bag and quickly sent it into the palace himself.

It was not yet late at night, and King Varian had not yet slept, and was a little surprised to see his most trusted subordinate arrive, and motioned for Matthias to sit down.

Matthias sent the information he had gathered, but King Varian did not read it, but asked, "Is there anything special?" ”

Matthias spoke: "Your Majesty, according to this message, Baron Serberchel is the only person we know of who survived the expeditionary force of the Prince of Alsace. ”

Varian stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and spat out four words, with deep hatred in his words: "Arthas! ”

Matthias continued: "To this day, we still don't know why the Prince of Arthas became the way he is. ”

Varian said disdainfully, "What is there to know about that father-killer?" Isn't it just that Stratholme lost the red eye? It's not surprising to me that a guy who can't afford to lose since he was a kid does anything! ”

Madias persuaded: "However, Your Majesty, the various monsters in Arthas's hands are obviously carefully cultivated war weapons, but we don't know how he obtained these weapons in the Northern Rift, and whether there will be even more terrifying ones that he hasn't taken out. On top of that, it's important to speculate on his next move based on what happened to him in the Northern Rift. ”

Varian groaned for a moment, admitting that Madias had a point: "I received a message from the Mage Tower in the afternoon, and it just so happened that Lady Gianna would be coming to Stormwind City in the next two days to discuss the matter of taking in the refugees. She's sure she'll be more concerned about the North Rift, so I'll ask Claudia to come over and tell her about what she's seen and heard in the North Rift. ”

"Well, in other aspects, I have seen the experience of Baron Serberchel, except that her strength has improved too quickly since she inherited the title last year, there is no big problem, it is worth mentioning that her father may also know, when Stormwind City was broken, the old Baron Serberchel was one of the officers who asked for the order to give you and Lord Lothar."

Varian had no memory of that, and what he remembered most that day was his father's slumped body and the orc's tearful face, as well as the burning Stormwind and Lothar's strong arms.

But with the news of King Lane's death, the soldiers of the originally strong Stormwind Kingdom scattered and fled, but he knew that it was the northern reinforcements brought by Lothar who were responsible for the break.

In the end, the situation became more and more critical, and even two broken groups of soldiers did not even have a chance to board the retreating fleet.

Varian was suddenly full of apologies to the soldiers who had been cut off that year, and for the first time in all these years, he thought of the fate of those broken soldiers, and he asked, "Who else survived the army that was in charge of the broken back then?" ”

Matthias didn't make much preparation for the king's question, and thought for a while: "According to the statistics left behind, in order to cover the retreat of the army and civilians in Stormwind City, two thousand soldiers have been ordered to snipe and countercharge the tribe's army, and the number of survivors should not be much, but if they survive, they should all be still in Lordaeron, and I still need to sort out the specific names." ”

The black-haired monarch sighed, "Let's sort it out, if there are any soldiers or their descendants who participated in the defense of Stormwind City among the victims from the north this time, we will have to settle them properly, and by the way, I will also give me a copy of the information of the old Baron Thurbercher." ”

Matthias nodded in agreement, and then Matthias mentioned Claudia's encounter with Prince Anduin in the morning and what Osber said in the evening, and King Varian knew that there had been such an episode in the morning.

Varian was silent for a while, then spoke: "According to the rules, nobles only begin to enlighten simple martial arts and magic knowledge at the age of eight, and formally train for professional strength at the age of twelve. ”

"But Osber's concerns are justified, the situation is deteriorating too quickly, and our kingdom is becoming more and more dangerous, and I will think about dealing with this matter."

"And Claudia," Varian smiled at the mention of the girl who resembled herself, "just let her be my lieutenant." ”

King Varian learned a profound lesson from the ruins of his early years, and after re-establishing his homeland, not only did he build the palace into a fortress and be filled with various war machines, but even the palace ladies and attendants were far fewer than those of other countries. Compared to the ladies and attendants, King Varian trusted the military more.

Because of this, the court of the Storm Kingdom at this time was different from other kingdoms, in addition to a small number of maids and more professional cooks and scholars, there were a large number of royal guards and officers, who not only undertook military affairs, but also assumed the duties of waiters, copywriters, and messengers.

In the Kingdom of Stormwind, the king's aide-de-camp was created at this time to train potential young officers, and was responsible for more duties such as the king's personal assistants, secretaries, and bodyguards, although they did not have much power, but they represented the king's recognition and special glory.

In Matthias's opinion, the girl's strength is far beyond the range required of an adjutant, and loyalty can be guaranteed, but the king's adjutant is usually selected from the royal guard, and her previous experience in the army of the Stormwind Kingdom is a major disadvantage.

But he kept his grandmother's teachings in mind, never commented on things other than his own work, and remained silent. And King Varian, who knew his character, didn't care, and finally said to himself: "I think I still need to ask Duke Shadonblake what he means." ”

Also in this dark night, in the mansion of another duke of Stormwind City, a sexy and bewitching black-haired beauty had just had a fierce entanglement with Duke Visak, and after Duke Visak fell into a sound sleep contentedly, she got up and put on her pajamas, walked to the balcony, activated a magic ring, and a coquettish voice sounded.

"Edwin, Bores said something very interesting today, a messenger from Lordaeron asked Varian to take in Lordaeron's refugees, and Varian has agreed."

"Katrana, will this affect our plans?"

"Don't worry, it's not easy to eat so many refugees, and when they arrive, you can mobilize your people to make these refugees homeless and become a helping hand for you."

"Leave it to me, I won't let you down."

The black-haired beauty turned off the communication and went back to the bedroom, remembering that not long ago the Duke of Visak had mocked the Earl of Richville for being unlucky because he couldn't control his lower body, she glanced at the Duke of Visak with sarcasm, and then went to bed and lay down next to the Duke.
