"What a French tabloid is this!"

Torina also complained: "Michaela, maybe you should put a little more pressure on "Sunshine News" to report positive news." ”

Michaela also felt that Tolina was right, but now what she had to do was:

"Humphrey." Michaela looked at each other with a sincere look.

Humphrey asked calmly, "What's the matter, Chancellor?" ”

Michaela: "I've been bothered by a question lately, and someone said you're the one who knows the answer best. ”

Humphrey spread his palms and said, "Say it, Chancellor." ”

Michaela said, "Humphrey, in yesterday's high-level meeting, I suggested that the Regent could consider having our Blood Elves rejoin the Human Alliance, but neither the Regent, nor the Ranger General, nor even Archmage Romans and Blood Knight Lord Liadrin, they all unanimously stated that they could not trust humans. ”

Bernard on the side interjected: "Chancellor, it is well known that Human Marshal Garishers has imprisoned our prince His Highness Kael'thas. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, Bernard."

Michaela nodded at Bernard, looked back at Humphrey and asked, "But it shouldn't be that simple, right?" Is it just because the human marshal imprisoned our prince that our two races are completely torn apart? As far as I know, politics is based on profits. ”

"Well, minister, so you want to ask us about the relationship between elves and humans."

Humphrey pursed his lips, as if to sort out the words: "This question is indeed more complicated, if you only look at the present, it is indeed the rude behavior of that fool of Garrissus to our prince, which caused the relationship between the two clans to break down. ”

Just look at the present, that is:

"And before?" Michaela asked, "Did we have a grudge against humans before?" ”

Humphrey looked at Michaela and asked, "Chancellor, do you want to know from the beginning?" That's a long story! ”

Michaela nodded, "It's okay, Humphrey, I'm willing to listen." ”

"Okay."

Humphrey raised his left hand and beckoned to Bernard, who immediately pulled out a map of the Eastern Continent and spread it out on his desk.

Michaela saw that the map also marked the fallen kingdoms of Lordaeron and Alterac.

"This is the old map, Chancellor."

Humphrey began the online explanation, and the first step was to point to the northeast corner of the map, Yongge Forest:

"We elves left Karimdor to establish the kingdom of the Eternal Song Forest, founded Quel'Thalas, and then went to war with the savage and inferior Amani trolls, and met humans in the process."

"Well, I know that."

Michaela answered, "It is recorded in the history of our elven race that we united the humans and finally defeated the trolls. ”

"The price is to teach humans magic."

Humphrey said the point: "In the beginning, we thought that stupid humans could only master the surface of magic, but who would have thought that this group of evolved monkeys would have the same potential for magic as we did, and would soon master the vast majority of magic!" ”

"Is there a problem with that?"

Michaela knew that the humans on Azeroth were different from the humans on Earth, they were descendants of Titans, so they were born with a high potential for arcane energy, that is, magic.

"Of course there is a problem, and it is a big problem!"

Humphrey suddenly slapped the table with his right hand, looking a little emotional: "Magic is the foundation of our elf race, and human beings can master magic in a short period of time, which directly shakes our national foundation!" ”

Translated by Torina: "The core secret has been mastered by someone else! ”

Humphrey's next words were even more shocking: "At that time, our plan was to have humans and trolls kill each other, but the humans seemed to see our plan and gave us a backhand blow. ”

As he spoke, Humphrey's finger pointed to Zuaman, the capital of the Amani trolls on the map, and continued: "At that time, the humans had already killed Zuaman's door, but they did not continue to advance, but claimed to have won, and then withdrew their troops. ”

it!

Michaela understood, and so did Torina.

If the elves want to borrow a knife to kill people, then the humans will bury the nails for you with their backhands, and the surviving Zu Aman, for thousands of years, has been a thorn in the side of the elves, a thorn in the flesh, and has to accept the coexistence of the two sides to this day.

Humphrey's words continued: "Because of this incident, we elven high-level people understand one thing, humans are not as stupid as they seem, on the contrary, they are extremely cunning, they are not trustworthy!" ”

"Moreover, although human beings have a short lifespan, they are extremely fertile and develop extremely fast, and in just a few hundred years (a few hundred years) of our elven race, human beings have expanded rapidly and developed seven kingdoms!"

"The source of human civilization, the kingdom of Alasso, a riptide fort located in the Arathi Heights."

"The kingdom of Alterac centered on the Alterac Snow Mountain!"

"It used to be the magic academy where the blood elves taught humans, and then the Dalaran magic kingdom that became bigger and stronger."

"The Kingdom of Gilneys, located in the southern part of the Silver Pine Forest and surrounded by the sea on three sides."

"Occupy the western islands and dominate the kingdom of Kurtilas on the sea."

"Go south to the kingdom of Stormwind in the Elwyn Forest."

"And, south of Quel'Thalas, the most powerful human nation, the kingdom of Lordaeron, which occupies the Tirisphahl Glades and the Eastern and Western Plaguelands!"

Bernard interjected, "Well, Sir Humphrey, the East and West Plague Lands were the name of the aftermath of the Scourge War, and those two places were not called that at the time. ”

"Of course I do."

"I'm just using the current name for illustrative purposes," Humphrey said. ”

In fact, to this extent, combined with the old map spread out in front of Michaela, even a layman can understand the geopolitical relationship!

Since the development speed of human beings far exceeded the expectations of the elves, when the elves became stronger and stronger and wanted to expand externally, a powerful alliance composed of the seven kingdoms of mankind was at the door of Quel'Thalas.

And the first to bear the brunt is still the most powerful Lordaeron Kingdom in the Human Alliance, which really directly blocked the road to the external expansion of the elf race.

It's hard to argue that this isn't intentional on the part of humans.

Michaela glanced at the map, then looked at Humphrey and asked, "Since we don't believe in humans, why did we join the Human Alliance?" ”

Humphrey let out a "hmm", then leaned back tactically, and a proud smile appeared on his face: "Minister, we are close to humanity in order to oppose humanity, and all officials are gathered under this idea to ensure that a united and strong human alliance cannot be formed, so we enter it." ”

Faced with such a shocking answer, Michaela and Tolina exclaimed at the same time: "Huh? ”

Humphrey was still very calm, and talked eloquently: "Minister, our blood elves' diplomatic policy towards human beings has never changed for thousands of years, that is, to create a divided human race, so we unite with Dalaran to balance the Alaso Kingdom, unite with the Alterac Kingdom to balance the Lordaeron Kingdom, and unite the Kurtilas Kingdom to balance the Gilneth Kingdom, divide and rule, and it has always worked very well?" ”

I'm #¥%&!

Michaela almost burst out foul language, feeling that the second orc war and the subsequent period, behind the series of contradictions within the human race, is the blood elf stirring up trouble?

Humphrey was not ashamed but proud, and said with a nostalgic face: "During the Second Orc War, we instigated the Kingdom of Alterac to surrender to the Orcs and directly abolished a country. And when the contradictions within the alliance were at their most intense, we took the initiative to withdraw from the alliance and completely disrupt them. ”

"Oh!"

When it came to emotion, Humphrey even clapped his hands happily: "At that time, we directly stirred up the human alliance from the inside, and it was simply the most glorious era. ”

Tolina's Tip: Humphrey was an old bureaucrat during the old Silvermoon City, and this thing must have been involved in the above events.

Think about it, what it's like to have the culprit in front of you, and tell the story of his criminal experience back then?

Michaela met it, and the way he looked at Humphrey was even more complicated.

"Don't be so surprised, Chancellor."

Humphrey, still in a state of excitement, disagreed: "That's politics. ”

Michaela twitched her brows a few times, intending to give the smug Humphrey a dismount and start the conversation: "So, Humphrey, when the plague spread in Lordaeron, the blood elves didn't make a move!" ”

"Of course."

Humphrey continued, "The mighty kingdom of Lordaeron has always been a barrier to our expansion, and when the undead scourge ravaged Lordaeron, we had a feast in the palace! ”

Translated by Tolina: The bureaucrats of the old Silvermoon City, represented by Humphrey, wish that the kingdom of Lordaeron would end soon......

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Michaela immediately said, "But, Humphrey, it was because we didn't help Lordaeron against the Scourge that those undead killed us after destroying Lordaeron. ”

As soon as these words came out, Humphrey immediately stopped talking.

As Michaela said, when the Undead Scourge first appeared, if Silvermoon City was willing to help Lordaeron, not to mention completely destroying the undead, at least the power of the undead would not be as unstoppable as it was later.

Torina also said: "Michaela, I feel that the blood elves of the old Silvermoon City era are like the Belt Empire of the Earth, a super-stirring stick. And in the end, I even splashed myself with! ”

Oh, what an apt description!

As for Humphrey, after a few words of "uh-huh-ahh ”

In order to save face, Humphrey added: "But with the current situation, we blood elves must not join the human alliance, otherwise we will be finished." ”

Why?

Humphrey's next sentence is to answer:

"Minister, joining the Human Alliance is not as simple as standing with someone, the act itself means that we blood elves must be consistent with humanity in politics, economy, diplomatic relations, military and a series of other directions."

"Think about it, the undead lands that are now raging, such as the East and West Plague Lands, the Tirisfala Glades, and the Silver Pine Forest, were once the territory of the Human Kingdom, and if we join the Human Alliance, will the remaining Human Kingdoms ask us to send troops to help them reclaim their homeland?"

The old bureaucrat is the old bureaucrat, and the key is broken in one word.

Even Michaela had to admit that Humphrey's point of view was very correct, the current blood elves needed foreign aid, but if they joined the human alliance, the human race would definitely ask the blood elves to send troops to recover the human homeland.

Hehe, with the current blood elves, they can't do it at all! Therefore, the blood elves must not join the Human Alliance!

At the same time, on the Salas trail, several emaciated figures slowly appeared!
