Prelude 5
The next day, I returned to my post, and Mavi and Nasha switched jobs at my command and each had a brief handover, while the command post was still on her own. After a morning's work, with the in-depth completion of the overall quantification of the human work, that is, all the tasks, detailed content and goals were completely distributed to all the centurions.
The first phase of my work is considered to have been completed, and the rest is that the commanders can feed back the information to me, and then deploy according to their feedback on the actual situation and problems. Of course, we also have to inspect their sites from time to time. It's just that for now, there aren't many tasks that you have to complete.
It was also because Kalimdor didn't have any heavy tasks on his side, so Falic asked me that he wanted to go back to Kurtilas, because he was still worried about something unexpected happening there, and at this time I realized that I had indeed overlooked something, although Ronin and Merlin's team had arrived there, but there was no response these days, it was really necessary to take a look, and I didn't think Ronin could be busy alone, especially Wenlesa who still needed to take care of her.
I felt it was necessary to go the other way, and that would be to go to Kul Tiras, so as to show how much we value Gianna's homeland. With this decision in mind, I temporarily handed over all command of this place to Phodin and the High Elf leader Lotherma in the Church of the Paladins to the West.
Yes, Fo Ding is highly respected, of course, for the sake of the future, I also asked him to bring his eldest son Tyran out to do things, as a representative of the new generation of paladins, obviously he has more responsibilities. And although Lotherma has not completely come out of the shadows now, and his state is not very good, he is also a representative of tens of thousands of High Elves anyway, and he must be involved in it, as for the High Elves, the original task of Lotherma was still handed over to Nathanos to take care of. As for the rest, I have decided to leave Faric and Nasha in Kurtilas and replace Merin, and now the priestess side is temporarily handed over to Mattwyn, although she used to be a paladin, but now she has become a qualified priestess under Mavi's tutelage, and I think that since she can change her profession so quickly, she will definitely be able to take on more important responsibilities in the future.
Mavi didn't plan to go for my decision, she was worried that her presence would cause some doubts from Kul Tiras, but I persuaded her that she had to follow me, because this must be something for me and her to face, and this can only be the case, so we went to pick up Nasha first and gave her the task, and we also met Maitwyne, and it can be seen that she can now master many priestess skills, exactly like Mavi said. According to Mavi's explanation, she was favored by the moon god, perhaps, but Mavi was still a little worried that the light mechanism would conflict with some of the nature of the moon god's power, and told me that she had secretly arranged for a priestess to pay attention to her situation. I didn't say anything about Mavi's decision, and while I didn't believe her concerns, I obviously had no reason to object to it, as she was very important as a representative of a paladin's transfer. Na Mawi's caution is completely necessary, but I don't know what Mavi has explained at this time, and obviously I don't need to ask too much about these little things.
At the same time, I met Nathanos, who was obviously busy for the High Elves, but even so, I could feel the guilt he felt for me and the people around him, for which I only thought that he was the result of the High Elves being battered by the advance of the war. But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes. What's more, they had already decided that we were all annihilated, and that was the right distinction between the wrong and the right. After a few words of comfort, he couldn't help but stop talking to me, but he still didn't say anything, and of course I didn't ask in detail, after all, I subconsciously thought that all he wanted to say was an apology. But judging by the results, I should continue to ask about Sylvanas, and maybe ask about Sylvanas, but who would have thought that would be the case at that time...
After picking up Nasha from the hospital, I flew quickly towards Gianna, and to my surprise, Gianna only got out of bed when I came, that is, two hours before noon, because she sensed my presence, and not only that, she almost made a mess of her bedroom, apparently she was a little self-contained when she was alone.
In Egwen's explanation, she had explored the transfiguration with her last night and lasted until more than four in the morning. I didn't say anything about it, and after directly telling her the idea of going back to Kurtilas, Gianna did not refuse, but quickly sorted out her dress, obviously she didn't want to look like this in front of her own people, and Mavi and Nasha helped her dress, and simply put the magic book, Gianna felt guilty about the notes and other things, she felt a little out of shape, but who cares about these details, after she was done, Gianna handed over the business here to Egwene and opened the portal to Kurtilas.
Then we arrived there very quickly. At the gate of the palace, when they saw our arrival, the soldiers of Kurtilas were quite respectful, and we motioned for them to continue their duties. But before I went in, I glanced back. Kul Tiras's current life is indeed not as good as before, many of the original storefronts on the road are also hung with out of stock notices, and the pedestrians who come and go are not as energetic as before, plus the current stormy weather, which makes me feel even more unhappy.
In particular, one of my former personal guards, that is, the chief of the palace guard, saw us arrive and ran over in person, and in the face of my expression and state, he who saw my thoughts told me a very embarrassing thing, that is, Kul Tiras's resources are now running out, although before the invasion of the Burning Legion, although Dalin followed my advice and bought our food at a very low price, but because of the consumption and support of the war, there is not much left now, at most it will last until the autumn of the next year, and Kul Tiras itself does not produce any food, so it must rely on our supplies, or buy Stormwind and Ironforge Keepγ And Luo Ning, the supreme commander here, was ready to arrange this matter, but he didn't come over.
After hearing the difficulties here, Mavi had her own suggestion, she proposed to buy food from the Night Elves in the Firas region along the eastern coastline, as for the payment of funds, you can send them from our side, as long as the funds are sent by teleportation, and Lotherma did collect a lot of goblin assets in Silk Harbor, and now it can be used. Hearing Mavi's explanation, we all felt that it was very feasible. And let Mavi take care of this, after all, as far as I know, the Night Elf Lord over there is the younger brother of Sheldis and Mavi, so it should be a lot more convenient. Of course, the specific details will not be clear until I meet Luo Ning. And she said this obviously to do these things for us.
The captain of the guard seemed to know exactly what we were coming from, and he told us where Ronin was and led us there, which was a side hall, not the room I had originally intended to be in Dain.
At this moment, Ronin was clearly aware of our arrival. They also came to welcome us. Ronin was also very happy about all of us, and with his introduction, we met Wenlesa. She is now waiting for us at the door with a big belly, her belly is unusually large, and she may have children at any time. And Merlin was also waiting by her side, obviously for her, who was also an elf, she still knew how to take care of Wen Lessa.
And for our appearance, she still focused her main attention on Mavi, who she never knew, yes, almost the same body type, hair color, if you don't count the main difference between the Night Elves and the High Elves regardless of skin color, they look very much like sisters to outsiders, and compared to other Night Elves, Mavi is much whiter than the traditional violet color of other Night Elves because she is in a dark place all day long. They looked at each other, and compared to Wen Leisa's only staring, Mavi had an extra list of cases provided by Merin for inquiries.
And we all looked at the two of them in this way, obviously for them who don't know each other, there will always be an indescribable feeling when they meet at this time, that is, no matter what, Mavi is by my side in place of her sister Sylvanas, which is somewhat difficult to explain.
"You are Mavi Your Majesty, I have heard Ronin talk about your past with the King of Arthas, and I am glad that you can join our alliance. Winlessa wanted to bow to her, but, apparently, Mavi didn't need any ceremonial gestures, let alone her current state.
"I'm glad too, General Winlessa, but I hope you'll be like everyone else, and don't add anything to it. β
"Well, if you think you can, then I will, but there is always some process... , just like you, no one here calls me a general. Winlessa and Mavi laughed together
"Yes, it takes some process..."After a moment of laughter, Mavi returned to business. "I've seen your case, and it's surprising that you don't have any demonic episodes. I'd like to know what methods you're using to help your kind..."
"My kindred, what's wrong with them?" suddenly came to Mavi's mind as she said this, and that was that apparently no one had mentioned anything about Lotherma and them. But Winlessa saw our gloomy faces and clearly recognized something. "Could it be that the symptoms of demonism have manifested en masse?"
For Wen Leisa's questioning, Luo Ning, who is not good at lying, has no way to continue to hide it, so he can only tell the truth, in addition to the demon that Wen Leisa is worried about, he also told all the high elves about the experience of the war with Zurkin, of course, and finally said their current situation, that is, the existing high elves of their high elves and have not been controlled by natural disasters Only tens of thousands of people remain, and a large number of soldiers have died, such as Liadrin, and Lotherma has also become a one-eyed dragon, and the most important thing is the alliance, There is no cure for this condition, even by anyone...
As we said this, Winlessa was silent for a long time, and just when we thought we shouldn't have said it, she smiled wryly and said what she knew.
"It's all right, aren't we? If my experience gives my race hope, I hope you can help us. β
"Of course, Winlessa. β
That's it, it's a good opening statement, and then Mavi and the priestess stayed here, and the others, including Ronin, retreated to another room, for the current situation, Ronin repeated the topic of the captain of the guard just now, and for the solution that I repeated Mavi said, Ronin agreed very much, he thought that as long as the food could be fully in place, the main contradiction of Kurtilas could be temporarily resolved, of course, he also suggested that this order should be carried out immediately, because the Filas area is also close to the tribes, and it is necessary to get the food before they doγ
However, at this time, Gianna suggested that some of the food be shared between Ironforge and Stormwind, and we have no objection to that.
That's all there is to business, but private matters have become our current theme, and we have also asked Luo Ning about Wen Lessa's situation. We are very pleased that Wenlesa is pregnant with twins. However, as for why Wen Lesa was not affected by demons, Luo Ning personally believes that in addition to Wen Lessa's strong will, there are also the human attributes of his own child that suppress Wen Lessa's demonic mania and the protection of the red dragon, but when the child is born, something may immediately appear abnormal.
Luo Ning said that he really didn't know what to do when he was confined, but this was just speculation. In fact, having said that, we are still very satisfied with Wen Leisa's performance, it is really difficult for her to be so strong in such a situation. However, Luo Ning's explanation is that she has always been so strong and optimistic. And this can really relieve a lot of pressure for Luo Ning, and motivate Luo Ning to get to the point where he is now. And at the beginning, she was worried that she would question Mavi about it, or sneer at Mavi, after all, the reason of the High Elves could no longer control themselves, but now it is obvious that I am thinking too much. Wen Leisa's unwavering willpower still impressed me.
After we briefly exchanged some updates and current situations, I also learned that Kul Tiras's current situation is not very good, and the war with the Horde has made the situation even worse. In this regard, the matter of food should be acted on now, and of course the rest is the ships and other consumption, Gianna suggested going north along the sea to try to build a fortress garrison in the Silver Pine Forest, relying on the current from north to south in winter to connect the huge trees cut down there and transport them directly here, after all, we don't have so many ships to transport this wood, so we can only do this. As for medicines and other necessities, such as coal and vegetables, and ironware, it is up to us to trade them with Ironforge except for Serafi's purchases.
The deal with Ironforge had already begun, but there was a lot of debt, which could be paid with the looted treasure and food from Lotharma. There is also a matter of trying to promote some of the native generals of Kurtilas, after all, they are already our main force, of course, such matters are still handled by Gianna, although she has been living in Dalaran and Lordaeron, she is the real queen here. It was at the same time that I realized the urgency of some of the things that Farik told me last night, but then again, if possible, I would also like Gianna to give birth to my child, but unfortunately she is now busy with her own affairs and has no time, and for now, Gianna and Mavi have to stay here, and if Nasha and Faric are counted, then I am the only one left to go back, after all, no matter what, which side of us must still be our own foundation, and we must control it in real time no matter what. The purpose of leaving so many people here is nothing more than to think that the task here is heavy, and at the same time, to show the people of Kurtilas that all my cronies can be dispatched by Gianna, which may reduce some of the suspicions of the Kurtilas and counteract Gianna's status concerns.
After all the things were briefly discussed, it was already more than an hour later, so we prepared to go back to Wenlesa, and to my relief, Wenlesa fell asleep next to Mavi, and I could see that they got along relatively well, which was probably really good, and we simply told Mavi about our plan, and Mavi agreed with it and immediately set about it. That is, Mavigiana and I went back to Theramore first, and after informing Lotherma, he was told that he would use half of the treasure to go to the Night Elves to buy food and repay the materials of Ironforge Fortress, and Lotherma did not have any opinion on this, after all, he is also fully supporting us now, and for those goblins' property, he originally planned to hand it over to us for development, but in the end, Lotherma and his High Elves still got a quarter, the remaining half for this consumption, and the rest for the construction of the Dust Swamp, after all, the cheap orc labor has disappeared, and it depends on usγ However, because of this, the High Elves can also live a life above the middle class here.
With this agreement reached, I quickly went back to Egwene and arrived at our headquarters' vault, where she and Gianna worked together to teleport Mavi and the treasures, along with a dozen of the guards who transported them, to the Hazuki Fortress. And the well-informed Egwene did know the location, and agreed to my request and arrived there with us, that is, near the fortress of Feather Moon, and the sentinels here were very surprised by Mavi's appearance, and after confirming that it was Mavi herself, they were completely welcome, and it was obvious that they did not have any hostility because of Mavi's exile, but rather like her own soldiers.
"Sister, why are you here, and you have brought so much gold. β
One of the chief guards stepped forward and said respectfully to Mavi, to whom Mavi was not surprised. Seeing Ma Wei's expression like this, the female guard chief was no longer like this, but turned into a diplomatic seriousness.
"I'm just here to do business, and I want to buy a lot of food and medical supplies. β
"But your brother Garrod and sister Santis aren't here, and I can't call the shots. β
The head of the guard hurriedly explained, and Mavi asked her about something, and she seemed to know her brother very well, such as not liking to go out easily.
"Did they go to the tribe?"
"You got it?"
"No, I don't know, I'm just worried about that..."Mavi's face was not very good, and she decided to cut it first. "Don't you have an agreement on the price?"
Seeing that Mavi guessed correctly, the head of the guard no longer hid anything.
"That's right, those materials have been prepared, and they were originally intended to trade with the tribe, but their prices are too low, and they hope to be able to buy food at the price of five tons of grain per catty of silver at the price before the invasion of the Burning Legion. Now that the Burning Legion has invaded, the rest of the region is barren, and this price is too low, after all, in the main city of Darnassus, the price of food and other supplies has tripled, and the tribe is too demanding.
"So Santis disagreed, and they invited her over, and my brother Garrod, worried that something might happen to her, went with him, didn't he?" The captain of the guard seemed embarrassed by Mavi's question, but she told Mavi something in private, and although we couldn't hear what the general said, Mavi nodded. "Well, now at more than three times the current price of grain at Darnassus, we will receive all the income at the price of five tons of grain per catty of gold. Including all the revenues that were originally intended for the tribe. β
"This..."
"I think that's okay. Don't worry about Santis and Garrod, they will agree, after all, I am his own sister, and none of you were brought out by me and promoted, and you yourself Sora Hazuki, you will follow me after you have done this thing. β
"But I hope that you will also think about what Sister Santis must do, otherwise it will be difficult for the tribe to explain. β
"I know!" As she spoke, Mavi fired a bolt of lightning at a nearby dead tree, which split it open and burst into flames. "I forced the deal! It has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with the Alliance. β
"Mavi..."I also know a little about Mavi's behavior, which is to make outsiders look like she threatened them, and then carry out this deal, but I don't think she needs to take it herself, but Mavi motioned for me not to say anything.
In response, the captain of the guard, who was also a shadow song, motioned for the soldiers to carry and verify the gold coins with our soldiers.
I was very surprised to see this, Mavi was here as if he was the head of the place giving orders to the others, and what was even more surprising was that the others were very obedient. And after a while, when they briefly verified, they reported to Mavi very sincerely as a chief:
"Maybe you're paying too much, and there's just not so much food here. β
The chief of the guard spoke, to which Mavi gave him more instructions
"I also need a lot of supplies, including iron and precision machinery, medicines, weapons, armor, mounts, livestock, in short, except for luxury goods, I will buy whatever you have, at three times the current market price, but you will be responsible for providing sea transportation, transport to Kurtiras, and go to Mai Lin to take over. β
I was surprised by Mavi's attitude, especially since no one disobeyed her orders. After everyone around me went into action, I guess it wasn't that simple, like the relationship between the captain of the guard and Mavi.
After all the gold and silver coins she had brought, she also took off her disguise in a place where no one was, and instead looked as close to her as Nasha.
"I'm afraid I'll be exiled by the High Priest afterwards, I hope I can continue to follow you!"
She said this to Mavi, to which Mavi signaled to me what to say, to which I hastened to say what I expected.
"I'm glad you're joining the league, trust me, I won't let you down here. β
"It's my pleasure to serve you, Your Majesty King Arthas and Queen Gianna, andβ" She questioned Egwene, apparently the female guard Chang Bing did not know her identity. Or can't believe her. "Master Egwene?"
"It's me. β
Hearing this, the head of the guard was full of consternation, but it was also this that strengthened her idea of joining us.
"But I hope I'll be able to continue to serve by Princess Mavi's side then, but before that I can take over the work, and Sister Santis hasn't come back yet. β
Hearing this, Gianna and I seemed to feel something, such as this female guard captain, who seemed to be Mavi's henchman here, but anyway, he was still a henchman of the same clan as Shantis.
"I don't have any objections, you can pick any of our positions here, and when the time comes, you can go to Kul Tiras with these ships, your sister Mavi has a lot of tasks over there that need your help. β
"Hmm"
....
So the matter was settled, and the task was completed. Gianna and I had planned to meet with Hazuki and Mavi's brother Garrod and apologize to them, but Mavi felt that it was not necessary, because her current status was not suitable to meet them in the territory of the Night Elves, so I didn't say anything about it and went back to the top of the Theramore Mage Tower, and Gianna and Mavi were also teleported back to Kul Tiras by Egwen after saying a brief goodbye to me.
I couldn't help but ask her a question before saying goodbye, that is, if she still has a lot of beings like Sola Hazuki just now, but in response, Mavi nodded and apologized to me, because she was also responsible for those people, so she couldn't tell me the information about these people. I understood that, and after they left, Egwen looked relieved.
"Your Majesty Arthas, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to be able to subdue this Night Elf to work for you. β
"It's a pity that their high priest sent her into exile. β
"But as far as I know, their relationship is very close, it is impossible for Tyrande to do such an extreme thing because of some things, and there are really some things that threaten her position, how can Tyrande let the tiger go back to the mountain? instead of killing the existence as a threat, and she knows Mavi better than anyone else, and of course she also knows that if she says that the enemy is terrible, she has not suppressed the remnants of Mavi afterwards, which is a great problem in itself. And the appearance of the chief of the guard, who had just met her, and who also wanted to be exiled by the high priest, may have said it all. β
"Do you want to say it was premeditated?" I listened, though I had my suspicions in my heart, but I wanted to know more about the opinion of the oldest human mage, and Egwene had a lot to say to me.
"I wouldn't say it was premeditated, but I would say that Tyrande wanted to fulfill Mavi. I've read the historical materials about you in the war against the Burning Legion, but to be honest, it's hard to get together without any emotional foundation just by your and Mavi's behavior. β
"So you're trying to say that she has other purposes, such as controlling the entire Alliance?, to be honest, I was worried about it at first, but even if I had been through so much together, I would admit it, and with the strength of their Night Elves, there was no need to do so, so I don't believe your speculation, Master Egwene. β
I said this firmly, apparently out of trust in Mavi, but Egwene didn't mean that.
"What would they be if they didn't have to? Do they want a child to inherit her, as I did?Does she also realize that her life is short, and the destruction of the World Tree will always make her face such a problem, I want to hear from you, Your Majesty Arthas. β
"Maybe she's different from you at the beginning, she just wants to enjoy the warmth of family, if she can have real sustenance at the end of her life. Of course, I also imagined a lot of possibilities, but I didn't think of anything else, unless she had a deep affection for me before I met her in the first place, but this one doesn't make sense, maybe the relationship can't be explained in the first place. β
"You're right, it seems that you think a lot, then I don't have to worry about you being confused because of being a woman, but Mavi's ability to attach to you only means that you are lucky, and look, she will do more things for your will that you can't think of. Egwen said this, and I now understood her purpose, which was that she didn't want her feelings to interfere with my rational judgment, and of course more, such as my ability to think, which was important for some of her personal private plans. "But I was just selfishly trying to let my descendants inherit my power, but it almost ruined me and Medivan, I am really ashamed of myself compared to her, but you, you can see that you are sincere to Gianna and the rest of your partners, but you are doing so much for your own country or your own interests. β
"I'm for my people, but there's always a selfish side to human nature, isn't it?, but I know that the more I think about the interests of my people, the more power I will have, the more loyal and loyal my people and partners will be, and this is not a conflict, Master Egwene, if there is anyone more suitable than me, I will let it go, for example, now that I have stepped down as head of the alliance and given it to Varian, if he gives me orders I will obey. β
"Yes, it's a pleasure to play for you, King of Arthas, but if you want to be able to better control more powerful powers, you have to pay a lot of things, and the same is true in other fields, Mavi did it ten thousand years ago, but Gianna still has a long way to go, as for you, if you can correctly influence more people to use it for you, I'm afraid it will be a long way to go, I hope you are prepared. β
Egwene said and prepared to go down, and at the bottom of the tower, there were still a large number of mage apprentices who were borrowing magic books waiting for her to guide and educate, but obviously a single lecturer was far from meeting the teaching requirements of these hundreds of apprentices, and because of her age, her health was not very good, maybe everything would be able to function normally when Luo Ning returned. However, I pondered for a long time about her words, and although I didn't understand it, I felt that what she said was right, and how to deal with it may only be known then.
I changed back into my dragon form and returned to myself and didn't go back to the command post first, but went to look around, such as the priestess, and when I got there, I found that Lady Maitwyne was in control of the whole situation here, and did not let the daily work of this place be carried out in an orderly manner, she was indeed very talented in healing, and her affinity really made her very good at managing this place. And she's a Lordaeron, and apart from Fordin, Falik, and me, she's the only remaining silver hand on this side of Kalimdor.
She was surprised by my arrival, she didn't expect me to make the trip, so after a brief greeting, she ushered me into her office, the same room where Mavi had been, and apparently she and Nasha had been taking care of it after Mavi had left. Before coming in, I told him that if he needed any medicine, he would make a list and that some griffon riders would be arranged to transport the supplies.
I asked, in fact, it was just an opening greeting, she kept nodding, but to my surprise, when we arrived at the room, she immediately handed me the list, and specific to the possible consumption in the next few months, for her to have such awareness, I think she should be arranged for a more suitable position. Of course, since she has already given me the list, I can only implement these things as soon as possible.
"Well, it's going to be soon, you'll see these supplies in about ten days. β
Compared to my calm answer, Maite Wynne was very confused.
"Where can we get these medicines, can Kul Tiras provide so much, if we go to the Night Elves we will have to go through the hinterland of the tribe, or to the west..."
"That's right, there are Night Elves in the Filas region, and we've negotiated with them, you can just get half of those possessions in Rusty Water Harbor and exchange them for them. β
"I'm glad that the looted assets came in handy, and now that we and the tribe are strapped for supplies, we should buy them right away, and we shouldn't think too much about the price. β
I couldn't help but nod my head when she said that. After all, she said the same as I thought, and of course it wasn't more than that
"It's your credit, otherwise we'd have had a hard time getting through it...", I said, and it was really shocking to see a High Elf all unharmed, and that's when I thought of a topic, "There have been few reports of High Elves going crazy lately, what did you do? Or did you say that the symptoms have been reduced?"
"There is no other way, Muradin's left some tobacco before leaving, after smoking, it does have a relieving effect, but long-term smoking will harm them, but compared to other cigars and marijuana, this may be a relatively safe drug, so..."
"So you've got a lot of tobacco on the list, and a lot of marijuana!"
That's when I looked at the contents of the list, and there were a lot of these things in addition to what I thought were drugs. And in the face of my questioning, she answered very appropriately.
"I'm just worried about the future. But it's not a long-term mechanism, and by the time they become more addicted, they may need marijuana to alleviate it, but I don't know exactly how long that will take. β
"I understand, you have a lot of ideas, you have a lot of foresight, what can I say, just go and do it, and leave the collection of medicine to me, there is a large amount of tobacco on the dwarven side that can supply us for the time being, and we can grow these things in the newly cultivated land. "I said this, yes, I still know a lot about tobacco, in general, smoking is an unhealthy and very uncivilized behavior, especially the paladins regard it as a taboo, human beings rarely smoke this thing, most of them are sold to dwarves in exchange for iron tools, but now we have to use this kind of thing and use it in large quantities.
"My pleasure, Your Majesty Arthas. β
I didn't continue to talk to her about these politics, and it was at this time that I noticed that I had been alone with her for a long time. So the conversation changed to a person, after all, I knew that it was not easy for her to hold on until now, and at the end of the war against Akmund I thought she and the other Silver Hand were dead, but she survived strongly.
"These are the only ones who survived the Silver Hand, and I'm glad you were one of them. β
"Isn't there any survival of the Silver Hand left behind in Lordaeron?"
"We had little contact after the Catastrophe, and Kul Tiras was almost closed off after that, and the Coalition sealed the road to the north. Several waves of scouts have not heard from them, and the Hammer Dwarves have abandoned their homes and moved to Ironforge. I suspect yes, and I suspect that they will be controlled by the black dragon, which was the case with Varian in the past, not to mention those humans, and I also came into contact with those people when I became undead, I only know that the power of the black dragon has penetrated far into it, and now that the black dragon is bigger, I don't think they will have a good time. β
"I see. β
"I'm sorry, but it's something you have to deal with, Sally, your parents and adoptive parents are dead, and so is your childhood sweetheart's hair. β
I reassured her, yes, her current performance has proven that she is recognized by me, so I want to get a deeper level of loyalty from her, and while that loyalty doesn't have to be as sublimated as Mavi and Gianna, I definitely want to make her like Winlessa, my true confidant, only she's stronger than I thought.
"I grew up with a traditional paladin education, and I don't have many good friends around me like you, let alone the experience you have, we were just learning the Holy Light devoutly, but I also see that you are not bound by this kind of constraints, and your life is very exciting, sometimes it is really enviable. β
Even though she said that, I could clearly find her weakness.
"So instead of following your adoptive father's advice to stay in Lordaeron, you followed Gianna to Kalimdor. β
"Yes, Renaud was with me, but he was killed in action on Mount Hyjal, and he shouldn't have come..."
I was very confused about her statement, but what I was going to say next made me understand some details
"He fought for what he believed in, and you shouldn't have said that about him. β
"He only persuaded me to elope with him, not for his own beliefs, and there was no responsibility at all. β
I had some understanding when she said this, she didn't have a crush on that Renault, but then again, I still had some intersections with him when I fought against the Gilneth Werewolf, and to be honest, I didn't like the paladin who was about my age, but at that time, he actually disobeyed his father's order and joined my camp at that time, I was still a little relieved, but after I learned that he was for this purpose, my impression of him instantly returned to normal. Of course, Maitwyne can say that, obviously she has her purpose, but as a woman she obviously has her reserve, but how strong is that reserve for me. And compared to usual, I do feel hungry, she has changed a little, maybe it is really too long to be alone.
"Well, to be honest, I don't know the current situation of the Silver Hand members, and I can't accept their beliefs, so I just rely on the troops who are loyal to me, obviously you are such a being, and I heard from Mavi that you exchanged blood with them to save the High Elves. β
"I was just trying to see what I could do to alleviate their symptoms, so I found Tobacco, after all, I really wanted to do something for you and Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Mavi, and although I wouldn't be as powerful as them, I thought I could take some of the pressure off you like Mr. and Mrs. Faric did. β
"I admire you for your sense of responsibility, and of course there are others, Ms. Whitemayne, but I can't give you anything other than my duties in the current situation, and we are in a very passive situation in Lordaeron right now, and the road to revival is very longβ" I said, and put my arm over her shoulder, but soon I put my hand on Jensen to her face. I need a talent like you, because a talent like you is not only loyal but also obedient, and what I ask for in return after these efforts can only be my trust and understanding of you. β
"I can understand Your Majesty, I will obey... I. β
"But I have to go now, I have to go back and see what Old Fording is doing today, and I'll make that when Mavi and Gianna come back in Kul Tiras. But I don't want to do anything behind their backs. I didn't say anything more, but straightened her collar and left, and she followed me out of the hospital gate to see me go.
On the way, I recalled the words I had said to her, and I couldn't help but feel if I had given her a wrong hint, but in the end, I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't believe that I would have such thoughts, after all, Marlan's example was still a sharp pain in my heart, if I couldn't give her any identity, maybe it would be a kind of trampling on her, and the reason why I could think this way was because Mavi was pregnant, and Gianna was concentrating on magic and teaching. But then again, I don't know when I became so cautious, or timid. This reminds me of the days when I met Gianna and Sylvanas, when I seemed so strong and confident, and I was idle and cowardly until now after I was first turned into an undead, as if it has continued until now.
At that time, Valera, and the days when she met Gianna and Sylvanas, and what she did to Marlan later, maybe she was a person before she died, and the undead was a person, and she was a person after death, and now, she didn't even know if she wanted this woman, maybe she should really wait until Gianna and the two came back, they would give me advice, or really give her a suitable identity, but for now, it would be better to be busy with political affairs and divert her energy in this areaγ
But when I came back here, I realized that things were not like that, and when I returned to the command, I immediately realized that Lotherma seemed to have become addicted to smoking, although he did not smoke in the house with Foding, but the side room was full of burnt tobacco leaves and the smoke all over his body did make Foding not so happy, although he knew that this was a way to relieve, but for the determined paladins, this illness of the High Elves still stemmed from their lack of self-discipline and firm faith.
Maybe I'll dismiss Foding's speculation before I see Weensa, but it's surprising that the Light Ranger did it now. Fortunately, the two of them did not quarrel over this matter. And Lotherma also knew the precepts of the paladin to some extent, so she tried not to offend this paladin.
And I saw Lotherma, she was obviously much slower to deal with the approvals, obviously as a ranger he was not very good at handling government affairs, but fortunately he sorted out the problems separately. On the other hand, Foding is much more efficient here, but although the problems he deals with are much more open than before, the approval of the handling is still very rigid and too idealistic. In particular, he rejected Mattwyne's suggestion to grow marijuana, and I can only say that he has given in to the cultivation of tobacco, but fortunately this order has not been given.
In this regard, Foding still theorized to me, such as the harm and dependence of cultivating this crop to the human body in his opinion. I didn't explain much about that, but told him that we really couldn't do anything. Reality must be faced. Fordin only wanted to do his job, and of course he warned me that no one but the sick and the High Elves, who were ill with demons, were not to smoke the item, and that paladins were not to do any kind of tobacco and marijuana. I couldn't agree more with this suggestion.
Luckily, we didn't have any arguments, and he was ready to leave after he handed over the work with me, and he clearly preferred teaching paladins to government affairs. He told me that he didn't want to be called in for business.
However, as for his son Tyran, he wants to come to me when he has fully taught him, and apparently he also knows that such a pious paladin is not necessarily suitable for modern times. I couldn't agree with that, and I gave him the armor I had sewn for me with Sylvanas, as a sign of recognition of his thinking and the importance I attached to his offspring.
Lotherma was also leaving, wanting to return to his side, and he thanked me for keeping the production of marijuana, and was pleased with my decision to give a considerable portion of the looted property to the already complete minority of their High Elves, who had intended to enrich the treasury in the first place, and for which he hoped to use the funds left for them to be used for the production of marijuana as much as possible. However, while thanking him, I also told him about Winlessa's situation and hoped that they could overcome the symptoms on their own. Of course, after learning about the situation on Wen Leisa's side, he couldn't help but sigh, because he also doubted that he and his people lacked perseverance, but now it seems that there are indeed high elves who have done it. He was ashamed of this, but I suggested that they go back to the path of the moon god, after all, I had heard some history from Mavi about them, that the distinction between the High Elves and their Night Elves was only a difference of status, and that it was only the influence of the Well of Eternity that made them demon-lustful, and that it was only after their exile that their skin color changed.
Of course, if their High Elves could really believe in the Holy Light or the Moonlight, it would be very important for our future unity, but he only sighed at my suggestion. At the same time, I also suggested that he learn more about political rule, to which he could only nod, and there is one thing that he is very similar to Foding, which is that he does not like the political stuff I said. So, after Lotherma left, it was empty and I was left alone, and I had missed supper time after approving all the requests, but the two priestesses who had been left behind by Mavi had left supper still.
I ate the dinner they had made for me, and when I got back to my room, I saw their tidy room and washed clothes, lying on the comfortable bed. Now that I think about what Mavi said, it does make some sense, but to be honest, if it was only a few, maybe I would have complied, but she brought dozens at once, and I really couldn't choose... I thought so in my heart, it is true that my body feels a little lonely, but I can only endure this loneliness and fall asleep.
But there are always accidents, when I wake up in the middle of the night or dream of something to look at, that is, what should happen if the Burning Legion does not appear:
At that time, Lordaeron annexed and properly arranged the whole of Gilneis, and after Dahlin set Gianna as the crown prince, Lordaeron was already unprecedentedly powerful. But maybe it's a dream, just before the upcoming grand wedding celebration, when I met Gianna privately and wanted to do something with her, I was suddenly told by Gianna in the dream not to be obsessed with the past, but to face reality, I opened my eyes, and Gianna's face was changed to a face similar to her... Egwene, yes, I recognized her at once through the eyes of magic that drifted in her eyes, and she was about to wake me up...
"Master Egwene, why did you suddenly break into my roomβ" I asked, questioning, but I knew she must have something important to tell me to do so. "Is something going on?"
"You don't have to worry about anything, I'm my age and haven't seen anything, I'm here about Sally Maitwyne. β
She pointed to the other bed, where Mattwynne was lying under the quilt in a coma, but his body was unusually restless. I seem to have thought of something, and it's a manifestation of the High Elves' demonic appetite.
"But she's a human, how could she be, and she's not a mage, so how can she be bothered by demons?"
"She's traded blood with the High Elves... And she's lonely enough, seeing that Ronin, Falik, and you, who are about your age, have a home and affection, and she always wants to join you. β
I understood a little when I heard Egwene explain this, and of course I didn't know what she was saying, so I wasn't in such a hurry, because I noticed something strange about her, and her purpose
"I understand that, but Mavi is working so hard for us right now, and so is Gianna. Then I can't dare to do such a thing behind their backs. β
I said righteously, and to this Egwene looked anxious, I was a little more convinced of this, and decided to do something.
"Mavi, like me, has long been out of care about those so-called restraints and has seen through the traditions, and Gianna is also full of confidence in you, and takes care of your interests extremely well, not at all what you are worried about, on the other hand, Maite Wynne, she is still too young to adapt to this kind of loneliness without a family, if she can't vent in time, and can't get a collective warmth, plus the current high-intensity work, there will be problems, and she is now regaining the power of the moonlight, which is a big challenge in itself, plus now that the black dragon is in power, as far as I know, he will definitely do something to infiltrate us, and she will probably be the best target nowγ She said this, as if she had experienced something, and sighed. "In the past, Sally Whitemane Mavi was always there, and Mavi always cared about such things, so she always took her with her, and now that Mavi has specially explained these things to me before leaving, I think you should know his purpose, she will not put so much effort into a person she doesn't know. So all I can say is that you are lucky to have met Mavi. She's done so much more to you than you think, so I've been wondering what kind of power she had for you, that is, what kind of power made her put so much effort into you, but the movement I just teleported over and placed her on the bed didn't wake you up, which really shows that Mavi wasn't very successful in your workout..."
Egwen's words were not very coherent at the moment, and perhaps she suddenly realized that my purpose was not pure, and I felt no need to hide anything from it, and carried out my plan directly, but first I answered her question, which was something she had not specified during the day.
"Maybe she knows me very well, knows and supports me as well as Gianna, and tries to maintain and expand a stable network of relationships and maintain my authority...", I grabbed Egwene's hand as I spoke, and she recognized my actions, but I could feel her inner turmoil in a moment of astonishment. "I absolutely believe that those black dragons you said might seep in, because I used to fight against Onexia. So that's what I'm going to do with Matt Wynne alone. However, I have also seen a kind of magic that can make the High Elf demon appetite expand rapidly when I was also fighting against the black dragon, and I think you will definitely do the same, so this symptom of Sally is deliberately amplified by you, you know that I will not die without help, but you put her in the side bed, and you did not put her by my side, and you are still here to talk to me, maybe it already shows what you are still looking forward to. β
"I just... I'm just worried that you won't find out..."She was at a loss for what I was pressing, and I naturally refused to give up on her
"Useless Master Egwen, you have already stated at the banquet that you will obey my will. I said as I ruffled her hair and removed her light magic cloak, "Why don't you face your heart? Wouldn't you want to vent after hundreds of years of loneliness? I don't think you don't want to, it's that you don't want to, but you know it's not going to be with me."
She tried to resist stubbornly and threaten me with magic, but she lowered her noble head and turned to Maitwyn's side after I said this.
"Your Majesty Arthas, I have long since adapted to that loneliness, and I am old and decrepit. I'm afraid it will give you a bad impression, and as you said, she has been cast by me, and you must set her free, and only you can be the best person for the time being. β
"If it's just the two of you, I think I can still handle it, and you should understand, I only recognize the strong like you, no matter how old you look, but you are human after all, I don't care if a person is old or not, I just want to be able to possess everything she has when the strongest of the opposite sex is the weakest, and you also know that Mavi doesn't care about the constraints of the world, then wouldn't you be the same, and only I can satisfy you at the same time, protect your reputation, so it's better to return to your inner needs." γ Like you said I would be the best candidate, and I'll prove it soon. It's like you've tempted me during the day, just for now, isn't it?" I said as I unfastened her collar gradually, for she was very familiar with Gianna's clothes, and I knew it well. Of course, there is also a need for continuous language suppression during the period, "As I said during the day, feelings are indescribable, and we don't need such routines." β
"Then as you wish, my majesty..."
And when all her disguises were forcibly removed by me, she no longer had any disguise. It's just that she just wants to use magic to maintain her appearance as much as she can, but as the movement deepens, she may also seem to have the same feeling as before, and gradually lose herself. It was also accompanied by strong attacks, and in the end she was unable to bear everything, giving up all pretense and returning to her heart, and it was when all her pretense was given up, she did not fail to maintain her own strength, and finally she returned to the prototype, lost the young man's elastic skin, but returned to slack, and the messy blonde hair also turned white, but this white is still different from Mavi's shiny cloud white, but a dark white, and the hands and body have also returned to the appearance of old age, perhaps for such a situation, ordinary people will no longer be interested, and she can't help crying after realizing her true appearance, not daring to accept her true appearanceBut I didn't care at all, because I knew that she and Gianna were similar in physique, and both were powerful magicians, maybe when she was old, Gianna would be like that, so it would be better to give me a sneak peek.
The offensive continued, and perhaps Egwene did not expect that I would still be able to look so highly of her own body in such a declining situation, so she also opened her heart to meet her truest feelings, and was lost in them as time passed, and her tears continued to flow in a different state of mind.
When she was completely lost, I might have wanted to look more deeply into her body, but now that I had other tasks, Mattwynne's body was even hotter, and I don't know if she had heard my conversation with Egwene, but I was sure that she was impatient, and that I was going to fulfill her all and her virginity. And at this moment I would not give up Egwene, who had Gianna in miniature, and I still brought her back to the big bed, and showed Egwene everything I had shown to Maitwyn in his misty eyes. And her real and soft skin is as real and youthful as Mavi's, her silver hair and plump body, and the most primitive and irrepressible resistance of her body, which finally makes her completely sunk. Along with the various releases of her body, her slight demonic craving also disintegrated in an instant. It was at such a young age that she regained her sanity and spirit. But this intellect and spirit, too, because she was aware of what I had done to her, was likewise in tears. He even learned and used it now, and under my guidance, he took the initiative to cater to my behavior, and gradually sank into it completely, lost in the inability to distinguish between dreams and reality. Of course, I won't let her go so easily, as her first time, I have to completely conquer it, and finally sink completely under my constant onslaught.
And while I was satisfied with my own interest, I also knew that I was going to capture two more powerful women, but it was also so, and some problems also surfaced, Egwene was fine, but as for Maitwyne, I originally thought that I could make her a kind of marriage after seeing her take care of Lotherma, but now it seems that this is not the case, Lotherma is still in the shadow of Liadrin, and in his current state of decadence, it is indeed difficult.
But if you don't do this, and openly include her as a concubine, it is obviously against the current situation, after all, Kurtira still only recognizes her absolute status as a queen, maybe Mavi's absolute performance in this time and the tribe can make the people of Kul Tiras recognize her, but as for Maitwyne, he does not have such merits to prove his absolute status. Maybe it's really the same as I started, and maybe I can't decide until they come back. I thought so, but it was just then, and it was only after I had fully dressed up that I realized that Mavi's priestess had arrived here, and it was then that I realized that I had something to face, and that was how to explain to them what had happened to me, but it was obviously that I had thought too much, and Mavi seemed to have explained that something like this would happen to them, and when they came, they informed them in advance that they were here to clean up the scene for me, that is, to move the sleeping two of them to their bedrooms as soon as possible, taking advantage of the fact that the guards were not on duty...
For Mavi's scheming, although this will bring me some inexplicable fear, but she obviously handles everything well, such as how she should know how to show weakness to me, and unreserved appearance, but also makes me can only have a deeper desire for her, and it is precisely because of this that after the separation, I have a deep sense of nostalgia for her, but I think about it carefully, maybe this is how Mavi maintains herself with me, but what makes me more relieved is that it is obvious that the kind of respect that she retains for Gianna in her heart makes me feel even more gratified, and I don't know how many surprises she can bring me at this momentSo after this night, I looked forward to her even more.
