Chapter 155: The Sun King's Final Blow
Because of the Sun King's secret order, Melia had a very unpleasant time during this time.
While it was a good thing that the royal family secretly financed the renovation of her Tower of the Morning Star, it was followed by a large number of strange visitors.
After Sarren gradually became sensible, he learned a secret, Melia Xingyu actually had a serious social terror.
She is not used to contact with strangers, and once her social value reaches a critical point, her tense nerves will suddenly break, and she may do something stupid that she can't control.
Although Sarren was not involved in the whole process of Syndra's contact with Quel'Salas, he still knew the general process.
The struggle between the Silvermoon Council and the royal family is in its final stages, with Anastria, with a lot of chips in hand, overwhelming traditional aristocrats such as Darkan.
In order not to add to the instability at this juncture, the old king temporarily placed Sindra in the southern part of the Yongge Forest, and then released them when necessary, putting an end to the internal struggle that had lasted for thousands of years.
After following the weeping Melia into the Tower of the Morning Star, the first thing Salian saw was the vast collection of books that Sindra had brought from Herresaras.
The interior of the Tower of the Morning Star has been greatly expanded by space magic, and the dense mass of huge bookshelves extends upwards from the first floor, each of which is filled with precious books inherited from ancient times.
These ancient books, which have long been lost, are one of the important reasons why Melia is willing to put up with strangers living in the tower.
"Ah~ Sarjan, it's been a while."
After the end of Eresaras's civil war, Sindra, including Talleville, laid down their staffs, picked up their books and quills again, and returned to their duties as scholars.
When Sarren entered the tower, Tallerville, Ledros and the others were discussing an academic issue, and McCus, who was standing next to him yawning, was the first to notice Sarren's arrival.
After some pleasantries, Salian brought the conversation to the point.
"What did the Sun King say? When will you be able to secure an independent research site? ”
Tallerville spread his hands helplessly: "I don't know for the time being, and we don't want to send people under the fence to disturb the owner of this place for a long time." ”
Melia interjected, "The situation in Silvermoon City is basically clear, and the Silvermoon Council led by Darkan can't afford to spend anything. ”
"Even if they rebelled against their necks, the Sun King would have been prepared accordingly."
"Besides, I don't think that group of pampered aristocratic lords would dare to break the boat with the belief of giving up everything."
Sarren: "It just so happens that the Sun King should summon me in the near future, so I can go to Silvermoon City to see the situation up close. ”
"Hopefully, this long infighting will end soon, and with the Orc invasion, Azeroth has once again entered a turbulent era, and it's time for the stagnant Quel'Thallas to move forward again."
……
Just as Sarren had guessed, not long after saying goodbye to Meria and Sindra and returning home, Valera and the Sun King's messengers came to visit one after another.
While Saljan was exchanging information with Sindra at the Tower of the Morning Star, Valera had already returned home to visit her parents, and he was planning to come to Sarren to report to Silvermoon City with him.
When Valilla arrived, Salaen had just taken a shower and walked out of the bathroom in a different suit.
Before the two could talk a few more words, the Sun King's envoy sent the invitation.
"Hey~"
After seeing off the unknown messenger, Salian smiled wryly and said to Valeera, "I also said that I wanted to rest at home for a few days...... Let's get down to business first. ”
Valera seemed to have guessed that the Sun King would invite them to the royal court as soon as possible to recognize the benefits they had brought from this distant trip to Quel'Thalas.
When she came, Valeera changed into a lightweight combat suit that was more beautiful than practical, and still showed her two snow-white and soft long legs as always.
"Okay, stop complaining, go change your clothes."
Valilla pushed Saljan towards the bedroom, "The sooner you finish your business, you can start your own business sooner." ”
Sarren: "I understand the reason, why do you have to follow up when I change clothes?" ”
"Let me help you refer to it! Are you sure you have the taste to choose what to wear? ”
“…… Okay. ”
……
Guided by the palace guards, Salian and Valilla, dressed up, arrived at the court of the Sunseeker.
Seeing the old king Anastria again, Salian noticed that his countenance had become even older.
[Sure enough, his life is coming to an end, no wonder he summoned Kael'thas back in a hurry.] 】
[Anastria has reigned for more than 3,000 years, and it is time to retire and enjoy the blessings. 】
[Thanks to the butterfly effect caused by Xiao Sa, Kael'thas returned to the country ahead of schedule, and he should have learned a lot of experience in governing the country from the old king in the past year or so. 】
[You see Darkana's face like eating poop, and you can't see the previous high spirit. 】
[Loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled Darkan, he can't jump this time, right? 】
[You still can't let your guard down, the closer you get to victory, the more you have to be careful of the enemy jumping over the wall.] 】
Many people were invited to this banquet, except for Sarjan, who was the main character, and all the members of the Silvermoon Council were also present, and there were many nobles with ugly faces in the crowd.
The last time Salian attended the celebration party, these people were still arrogant, but now they have lost their vitality like frost-beaten eggplants.
It seems that the old king has not been idle for more than a year. ’
Although the caravans to and from Dalaran have been drastically reduced, Kul Tiras has been able to ship his specialty goods to Gilneth and Stormgard through more shipping channels than before.
The circulation of goods can create a lot of wealth for the country, and the people can also have a lot of gold coins in their pockets, and the successive correct decisions have also increased the reputation of Anastria among the people.
Coupled with the fact that Kael'thas often visited the villages and towns of Quel'Salas after his return, the exposure of the royal family has always been high.
Under the influence of one another, the Silver Moon Council, which has not achieved much for a long time, has become more and more marginalized.
Through the analysis of the barrage, Salian boldly speculated that Anastria was likely to take the opportunity of this banquet to stab the last sword against the increasingly decadent traditional aristocracy.
"Ah~ our hero is finally back."
Despite his old appearance, Anastria's spirit was very high.
The long infighting finally saw the end, and the Sun King in his old age seemed to have returned to the peak of his youth.
Stepping down from the throne himself, Anastria took the initiative to take Sarjan's hand and pull him to the main platform.
Valera deliberately lowered her presence, and watched with twinkling eyes as Sarren walked step by step to the most shining position in the venue.
She was the shadow of the Backlight Blade, and she never intended to come to the front of the stage, this banquet was originally intended for Sarren.
"Everyone! Thanks to the wonderful young man's diplomatic efforts in Kurtilas, we have grown closer to the three disconnected human kingdoms, and Quel'Thalas's economy is thriving. ”
'Diplomacy...... ? ’
There was some reassurance in Saray's reassurance.
Although his actions in Kul Tiras indirectly led to in-depth exchanges between the two countries, he did not consider himself representative of Quel'Thalas as a whole at the time.
Fortunately, Saljan was now able to hide his inner thoughts, he knew that Anastria was deliberately raising his reputation, and he also took the opportunity to declare that the royal family's choice to reuse the half-elves was correct.
"Oh~"
The High Elves in the audience let out a symbolic exclamation, and Salian saw that the faces of many people did not change in any way.
"And that's not all."
Anastria said with a smile: "Sarren also participated in the secret mission to rescue the Red Dragon Queen, successfully defeated the Orc Dragonthroat Clan, and established a good relationship with the Dragon Clan. ”
"Oh!"
This time, the faces of the nobles finally changed, and they looked at the half-elves on the stage with suspicion.
Although the High Elves are arrogant, they are at least self-aware, and they are only mortals, and they cannot be compared to the otherworldly species of dragons.
"Last ......"
A mysterious smile appeared on Anastria's face, and Darkan's heart jumped when he saw this, and he had a very bad premonition.
"He also traveled thousands of miles to Kalimdor to bring back an important ancient ally for Quel'Thalas."
"An ancient compatriot from Eresaras, the Upper Elves of Sindra, please!"
The members of the Silvermoon Council, led by Darkan, gasped in unison.
'Damn old fox! Such an important feat, it was actually hidden until the boy of the Deep Shadow family returned to the country before taking it out! ’
As the others turned their gaze to the door of the ballroom, Darkan's eyes flickered as he looked at the unfazed Sarren.
'What is this guy worthy, worthy of the old fox's attention?' ’
