For the next few days, Michaela stayed at the inn waiting for the outcome on Thrall's side, while Maleia continued to happily shop.

Strangely, in the days that followed, Tessa vanished from Orgrimmar as if she had evaporated from the world.

What?

Tessa is back at Crossroads?

If that's the case, Michaela wouldn't have any doubts, but in fact:

"If it weren't for the memory of my great Torina, you'd probably not even remember Tessa's name!"

As Tolina explains, the morning after Tessa leaves, both Michaela and Maleia only remember that a guest came to the hotel room, but the exact identity of the guest and how the guest met them are all forgotten.

Thankfully, there is also a Torina in Michaela's mental world, and she remembers Tessa.

"It's a strange thing."

Michaela didn't know why, plus he still had a mission to do, and he couldn't leave Orgrimmar, so he had to put this matter down for now.

In this way, three full days passed, and after "intense discussion and careful consideration", Thrall finally came to the decision to allow the Blood Elves to become the fifth largest force in the tribe.

Under the leadership of Nazgrell, Michaela met Sal again, and signed a series of letters of intent on behalf of Silvermoon City, including the opening of teleportation coordinates and the opening of the market, after all, Michaela is only an ambassador, not the ruler of Silvermoon City, and has no right to sign official documents, so she can only sign a letter of intent first.

In short, the matter of the blood elves joining the tribe is settled, and with the letter of intent signed, Michaela is already eligible to use Orgrimmar's portal to return to the Undercity, and then return to Silvermoon City from the portal of the Undercity, without any more damn airships!

"Michaela, why don't you go back to Silvermoon City directly from the portal?"

In the face of Tolina's question, Michaela replied angrily: "You are stupid, the portals between cities are both bidirectional, and they need to be built on both sides at the same time to be used, and now Orgrimmar's portal to Silvermoon City has not been built, how to use it?" ”

If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short.

After a day's rest (mainly barbecue), Michaela returned with a series of documents and a full load of Marlenia.

When he walked out of the portal of Silvermoon City, Ah Qiang, who had already received the news and was waiting there, had already organized a large welcome team to welcome the hero's return.

A week later, with the completion of the portal to Orgrimmar in Silvermoon City, Cuong personally led the ambassador group to Orgrimmar to participate in the tribal summit, and under the joint gaze of Thrall, Woking, Kane and Sylvanas, Cuong signed the tribal treaty on behalf of all the blood elves, and thus the blood elves officially became the fifth major force of the tribe!

"But does the above incident have anything to do with Michaela?"

Tolina told everyone, "Of course it matters, because as a hero of the Blood Elves, he must have joined Cuong's ambassador corps!" ”

"Another ......"

Tolina also took out a copy of Orgrimmar's newspaper, "The Good Night Tribe", and pointed to the photo on the front page and said, "Look, Michaela's picture is on the front page. ”

It's true that Michaela has always been a regular on the front pages of newspapers wherever he is, but today he is going to retreat.

"You want to quit?"

In the Regent's office in Silvermoon City, Cuong looked at Michaela in front of him, who nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Regent, I think it's time to leave." ”

Tolina jumped out to explain the reason: "From the Battle of Silvermoon City, to the Battle of Torvasa, to the Battle of Daisom, and even joining the Horde, it can be said that the Blood Elves can fight the sky, all thanks to Michaela. ”

"Doesn't that sound awesome?"

"However, Michaela is not the regent, the more he comes out, the more it will affect the status of the regent of Ah Qiang, this is the high merit."

"Since ancient times, the subordinates of the master of high merit will be killed by the leader by various means, on the other hand, Ah Qiang, he has not stumbled on Michaela until now, which has shown that Ah Qiang is very broad-minded."

Just like now, after learning the news of Michaela's resignation, Cuong has another emotion in his heart besides the happy emotion, and that is worry.

Michaela is gone, the people who have made great achievements are gone, and Cuong's position is solid, but what about the future of the blood elves? Who can solve the problem?

So today's Ah Qiang is actually very conflicted in his heart, what should he do?

"Michaela, you've done so much for us, I really can't bear you to go."

After a short period of thought, Ah Qiang spoke: "So, I intend to confer on you the title of Honorary Minister, you will always be the Minister of Silvermoon City. ”

Tolina: "Michaela, do you understand?" ”

Michaela: "I understand what the Lord Regent means, and as a member of the Blood Elves, it is naturally incumbent upon my race when it is in trouble. ”

Ah Qiang was waiting for this sentence, and immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Then I will rest assured." ”

Of course, there is also a procedure for resignation, especially for important positions such as ministers, there must be a transition time, during which Michaela is still the minister of the Ministry of Administrative Affairs, and he has to stand on the last shift.

So, here's what happened.

I only heard Ah Keong say: "Minister Michaela, it seems that the Minotaur side of Thunder Cliff is very interested in our enchanted products, and intends to send a diplomatic mission to prepare trade negotiations with us while making a friendly visit, and I plan to let your administrative affairs department be in charge of reception." ”

One of the treaties of joining the tribe is that the members open the market to each other, so the minotaur came, and this trade is the first big order after the blood elves joined the tribe, as long as the excellent enchanted products of the blood elves successfully enter the tribal market, then they can rely on the enchantment industry to support the economy like in the old Silver Moon City period.

No wonder Cuong takes it so seriously.

But Michaela asked, "Lord Regent, this matter involves diplomatic affairs, so it should be handled by the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs." Isn't it a bit ultra vires to have the Department of Administrative Affairs come forward? ”

Ah Qiang said with a sad face: "Minister Michaela, although I have already made the decision to establish the Ministry of State Communications, the preparation speed of the Ministry of State Affairs is slower than I expected, and now it is only just the framework that has been erected, and it is impossible to enter the working state. ”

"Oh, that's right."

Michaela nodded, indicating that she understood, and then scolded inwardly: "Humphrey, you bastard! ”

I also want to know that the preparation of the Ministry of State and Communications is so slow, it must be Humphrey's goods that are dragging their feet.

As an old bureaucrat in the old Silvermoon City, Humphrey was power-hungry, so once the new Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs was established, it would mean that the Ministry of Administrative Affairs would lose its special status as the only department in Silvermoon City, and the power in its hands would naturally be slashed, and Humphrey would never agree.

And if you think about it more deeply, with the blood elves joining the tribe, the situation is gradually stabilizing, then all kinds of regular government departments will definitely be established one by one, starting from the Ministry of State Communications, every time a department is established, the power of the Ministry of Administrative Affairs will be weakened!

Michaela doesn't have much thought about power, and of course she doesn't mind, but Humphrey can't.

"I feel that this time Ah Qiang handed over the task of receiving the Minotaur ambassador to you, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems."

Torina voiced her thoughts: "I probably want you to convince Humphrey not to stumble at the critical moment of the establishment of the Ministry of Communications." ”

In the midst of her thoughts, Michaela had returned to her long-lost office in the Department of Administrative Affairs.

"Hello, Chancellor."

"Welcome back, Chancellor."

Humphrey and Bernard waited in their office, as usual, as Michaela sat on the throne.

"Did he say anything to the Lord Regent this time?" Humphrey asked.

Humphrey already knew about his resignation, so what Michaela said was: "There will be a visit from the Minotaur Ambassador to Silvermoon City in the near future, and the Regent has asked our administrative affairs department to take care of the reception. ”

"Oh, diplomatic business."

Humphrey smiled, nodded, and said, "That should indeed be handled by our Department of Administrative Affairs, right, Chancellor?" ”

"Hehe, Michaela, Humphrey has something to say." Even Tolina could hear it.

Michaela replied, "Yes, Humphrey, it is true that our Department of Administrative Affairs should be in charge of this before the Ministry of State Communications is established. ”

Humphrey continued to smile and said, "Chancellor, you also support the Regent in establishing the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs." ”

Michaela: "Originally, there was only an administrative department, but it was just a temporary makeover. After all, a complete government can't have only one department, Humphrey, and you know more about that than I do. ”

"I also support the idea of the regent."

Humphrey raised his right index finger and rubbed his face, and said, "But the establishment of the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs seems to have encountered some difficulties. ”

Michaela: "For example?" ”

Bernard on the side spoke: "Sir Humphrey thinks that he is only managing the department in the absence of the minister, but when he encounters something at the same level, that is, the establishment of the Ministry of Relations, the matter must be signed by the minister himself. ”

Previously, there was only one department in Silvermoon City, so everything was under the jurisdiction of this department, and with the establishment of the Ministry of State Affairs, then the Department of Administrative Affairs had to cede relevant powers, and the white paper document mentioned by Bernard was the transfer document of the power of State Affairs.

I also know that Humphrey would never have signed that document, and his reason is also very good, who asked the minister Michaela to send Orgrimmar to not be in Silvermoon City!

Now that Michaela is back, of course we have to settle this time!

"Bernard, bring me the white paper, I want to sign it!"

With Michaela's order, Bernard immediately took out a thick stack of white papers that had not yet been signed, and the one on top was precisely for the establishment of the Ministry of State and Communications, and the Ministry of Administrative Affairs would transfer part of the power!

Torina took the opportunity to say, "I know there must be people who will ask, why did Humphrey write this white paper?" Isn't it okay if he doesn't write it, Michaela doesn't know how to write a white paper at all anyway! ”

"It's a pity, that's not going to work!"

"Because writing a government white paper is one of Humphrey's responsibilities as a permanent secretary, he can't afford not to write it, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty, and Humphrey will not leave a handle for himself, so he will choose to make a fuss about the signing issue."

Humphrey, who was on the side, watched Michaela sign his name on the paper, his expression twitched several times, obviously unhappy.

But after this time, Michaela also grew a lot, and after signing the paperwork, he said to Humphrey:

"Humphrey, I know that Silvermoon City will set up many departments in the future to form a complete government, so can you promise me one thing?"

Michaela raised her eyebrows and asked, "Answer, promise what?" ”

Just listen to Michaela say, "Let our administrative affairs department become the most powerful department in Silvermoon City in the future." ”

"Yes, Chancellor."

Humphrey smiled.
