"Thank you, Jaime, thank you," Claudia looked at Jaime gratefully, her tone guilty, "I don't deserve your efforts, James." ”

"Don't be so impressed," Jaime looked at her with a gentle expression, "Actually, I don't have a choice, do I, the Death Knights don't want to fight you, and I can only obey their wishes and get the best deal when I have the most chips in my hand." ”

"But even if it's a trade, you have another choice, Jaime, thank you."

"Okay, okay, don't talk like that." Jaime laughed, "You are the most suitable trading partner, not to mention that I am the only one left with you, who will I not trade to you?" And in the end, it turned out to be good for me, I became the regent, the Sean family went from strength to strength, and the men who followed me got what they wanted, didn't they? ”

Claudia was still very moved in her heart, but seeing that Jaime said this, she couldn't continue to thank her, so she could only look at the other party sincerely and said: "We will definitely complete what needs to be fulfilled in the agreement, if there is anything else that can be done for you in the future, you can also send someone to Stormwind City to find me, I will do my best." ”

……

Moments later, Claudia and Jaime say goodbye and meet an acquaintance shortly after heading out.

"You're Natalie?"

Claudia was a little jealous and a little uncertain, although the woman in front of her looked exactly like Natalie in her impression, her aura was completely different.

Faced with Claudia's vigilance, Natalie covered her forehead with her left hand and was about to explain, but she heard the dagger in her right hand make a sound first, and the voice was exactly the same as Partris's: "Sister, help me, Sister Natalie sealed my soul ...... this dagger." ”

"What?" Claudia's concern was chaotic, and her heart immediately tightened when she heard the words.

"Saratas, you're endless!" Natalie's right hand erupted with dazzling golden light, and she used her light-infused power to begin to infuse the dagger with intense light, and the dagger was silent.

At this time, Claudia had already reacted and asked, "What's the matter with this dagger?" Who are you? ”

Natalie explained, "I know you, the bearer of the Silver Hand, that this dagger is the artifact Saratas, who had previously disguised my appearance and voice to trick you into taking it out of the ......tomb of Tyre. ”

After Natalie showed a few key evidences, Claudia also believed the other party, after all, the holy light and soul breath can't be faked, but Claudia still has some questions: "You just said that you have been wandering in the shadow world for more than ten years, how did you do it?" There's ...... there."

Claudia recalled the horror of the shadow world, and the black distorted figure she had seen, and suddenly another spiritual pollution hit her soul, but after all, her soul strength was not the same as before, so this time she didn't shed blood and tears, just a little disgusting.

"Look at you, you've also been to the real Shadow Realm," Natalie glanced at her with a slight sympathy, and said roughly, "Even the Shadow Realm has a way to survive, with the strength of our hero's soul, as long as you don't meet those gatekeepers, you can generally maintain yourself in the Shadow Realm for many years, and even the level of Lord Fao has a way to escape from under the eyes of the gatekeepers and return to Azeroth." ”

Salatas, who had already recovered his strength, suddenly interjected, "Boring little Claudia, what is the Shadow Realm, do you know what the Eternal War is?" Do you know that the history of your entire world is a drop in the ocean? Even if it goes back to the time of the Titans, it's not worth mentioning? As long as you're willing to help me get out of this woman's grasp......"

Natalie's right hand flashed again, and Saratas was forced to shut up again, and Natalie spoke: "Ignore Saratas's crazy words, its language is full of lies and is very dangerous, I was killed by it once ten years ago, but fortunately I prepared in the Shadow Realm in advance to resurrect Lord Fao." ”

"I know," Claudia agreed with Natalie, reflecting on her experience with Salatas, "but can you tell me a little more about the Shadow Realm?" ”

"Well," Natalie muttered slightly, "in exchange for enough gold or Shadow Gems or other knowledge in exchange for my knowledge of the Shadow Realm." ”

"No problem," Claudia nodded, "that's fair. ”

……

A few days later, the negotiations were successfully concluded and the Union delegation began to withdraw.

On the way, Claudia looked at the red-haired girl beside her: "Seeing that you and your brother have such a good relationship, I thought you would stay." ”

"I'd like to stay, my lord," said Raetha, "but Sasarian said he would settle accounts with the Lich King before he would go home with me." ”

Claudia noticed one word: "Home? Lordaeron? ”

"Yes, my lord," Reetha nodded, "Thassarian said that the Forsaken intend to rebuild the buildings of the Tirisfard Glade, starting with Lordaeron. ”

"Rebuild the city of Lordaeron?" Claudia looked to the north when she heard this, "I'm really looking forward to it." ”

Tirisfal Glades in the distance, the ruins of Lordaeron.

Tens of thousands of zombies without much intelligence are diligently clearing the ruins of Lordaeron, batches of masonry and rubble are being transported out, and several dwarves are working as temporary craftsmen and conductors.

Jaime said to a dwarven captain beside him, "Brother Theomar, it looks like you're going to have to work you and your men before the new dwarves arrive. ”

The honest middle-aged dwarf blushed after hearing James's title: "I'm sorry, Brother James, I misunderstood you some time ago. ”

"No need to apologize," Jaime waved his hand and smiled, "After all, I asked Ambassador Anwewald to leave your team behind to help." ”

Theomar then understood why only his dwarven squad was left behind: "What! It's your fault? You're not righteous enough, Jaime, my wife is still waiting for me at home! ”

"Of course," Jaime smirked, "I've always held a grudge." ”

Later that day, Jaime and the high-ranking undead of Thassarian, Koltila, Veronara, and others gathered for a meeting to discuss their next steps.

Jaime spoke first: "We have been accepted by the Alliance, and our main tasks in the near future are to rebuild Lordaeron City, fulfill the agreement to kill Darkan, and eliminate the werewolves in the Silver Pine Forest, of which the reconstruction of Lordaeron City will take several years not to mention for the time being, what do you think of the other two tasks?" ”

Koltila said: "Werewolves can't appear in the Silver Pines Forest out of thin air for no reason, there must be a root cause, I suggest investigating and solving the source of the werewolves first and then slowly eliminating the werewolves." ”

Sassarian: "I agree with Koltila, and with regard to Darkan I think we need more details about the deployment of our forces to make a better battle plan. ”

When Veronara heard this, she took the initiative to ask: "My lord, my sisters and I have been on missions in the Ghost Land for many years before our deaths, and I am willing to take my sisters to find out the information near Daisom. ”

"Thank you so hard, Veronara." Jaime nodded approvingly, and then he looked at Thassarian, "Thassarian, your sister's future territory is in the Silver Pine Forest, so the task of leading the team to find out the source of the werewolves is entrusted to you." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Thassarian said yes.

After the meeting adjourned, Jaime left Koltila alone.

Koltila: "My lord, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Well, it's not official business," Jaime nodded, "Most of us got what we wanted from this peace talk, my family was continued, Thassarian asked for a knighthood and a domain for his sister, and Veronara's son could get enough gold and magic materials...... But you haven't asked for anything, I just want to ask if you have anything you want. ”

"My lord, I'm not like the others," Koltila shook her head, "I have no living relatives, and I have no interest in territorial families or anything like that, I just want to get revenge on the Lich King soon." ”

Jaime was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Okay, Koltila, you won't wait too long, in half a year we will start attacking the scourge in the Western Plague Land together with the Crusaders and the soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom, I believe that in two or three years we will be able to drive the scourge legion out of the continent." ”

……

"Master Fao, can you help me see if my understanding of this paragraph is correct......

"Claudia, I think your understanding of the shadow of the mind is a little skewed......"

On the boat back to Stormwind, Claudia is holding "The Secret of the Void" next to Fao and asking for something she doesn't understand, while Fao is patiently explaining to Claudia.

On the way back, Claudia chatted with her mentor to discuss the mysteries of the Light, and often asked Fao for advice, especially about shadows, and Fao knew it very well, and he obviously loved Claudia's gifted and eager to learn children, and answered each question in great detail.

"Thank you for your answer, Master Fao." Claudia bowed respectfully and left, Fao was the first priest she had ever seen beyond the heroic level, and the other party's character was noble enough and his deeds were legendary, so she had great respect for Fao.

Fao had returned to Stormwind with the Stormwind envoys, and he and Tairosus planned to convince the Southern Church of Light to accept the Forsaken, as the Southern Church of Light had been rebuilt by Fao after the Orc War, so it was not difficult for Fao to convince the members of the Church.

Soon after, Stormwind arrived, and as Claudia had predicted, Fao used his identity as a forsaken person and the powerful Light in him as an example to convince most of the members of the Church of Light, including his apprentice, Archbishop Benedictas, with whom he had a good night in the confessional.

As the wedding day approaches, Fao and Tairossos stay in Stormwind to witness the wedding, Claudia has been busy preparing for the wedding, and Varian is dealing with various official duties in addition to the wedding, and a month before the wedding, Varian learns a piece of news that he is very interested in.

"You're saying that, according to our agents in Treasure Bay, it's likely that the pirates of our country who were received by Rivigaz were members of the Brotherhood of Defia?" Varian looked at Madias on the other side.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Brotherhood of Defia should be trying to expand the maritime business."

"You're doing a good job, keep looking, and I'm sure we're not far off when we'll find Van Cleef's lair," Varian smiled approvingly, "and you'll have to rely on you to secretly help General Marcus in the next month to prevent the Defia bandits from wreaking havoc on the wedding day." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
