Chapter 160: Quel'Salas Changes
Silvermoon Speaker Darcan was on leave at home, and the other members of the council were acting more and more aggressively.
They arranged for eloquent people to speak in the squares and streets of Silvermoon City, preaching the contribution of the royal family and aristocracy to Quel'Salas that had lasted for more than 7,000 years, and exaggerating the dangers of commoner rule.
Anastria saw all this, but he did not immediately take countermeasures.
"That guy Darkan, he's still so sharp, it's really hard to take him down."
Holding the red wine glass in his hand and swaying slightly, Anastria's eyes flickered a little.
"There's no choice but to leave him to Kael'thas to deal with it."
"Solan Lianne."
Solanlian, who was standing in front of Anastria, bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty, please command." ”
Anastria drank the red wine in one gulp, and a fierce cold glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Inform Carbonia that it's time to start closing the net."
"Like to make incendiary speeches in front of the public? Okay, I satisfy you, and thank you for setting up the stage in advance. ”
……
Darkan Delahir, who took leave "due to illness", raised flowers and birds at home every day, as if he was indifferent to everything in the outside world.
But in the dead of night, there is a whisper of words in the Drahir family's mansion.
The thieves of Backlight Blade couldn't hear what the people inside were saying from the outside, but they could at least be sure that Darkan himself had no intention of participating in the netting operation.
Unable to catch the biggest fish, Anastria did not wait any longer and made a decisive move.
On the same day, people began to distribute flyers at various lecture sites in Silvermoon City.
The content of the leaflet is different for each lecture hall and is adjusted according to the status of the speaker as a member of parliament.
Of the members of the Silver Moon Council, none of them had a clean butt, including Darkan.
But relying on these bribes alone can only cause some reputational trouble to the parliamentarians, which has long been commonplace in Quel'Salas.
Unfortunately, Anastria has even more powerful evidence through the Backlight Blade.
While Kael'thas and the others were still in the south of the forest asking Remulus about the Night Elves, the surging undercurrent in Silvermoon City was completely detonated by the determined Sun King.
"The traditional aristocracy that controls the Silvermoon Council intends to rebel and overthrow the rule of the Sunseeker family that has lasted for more than 7,000 years."
Similar news soon spread throughout Silvermoon City, and even Yangfan Harbor and Sunny Wind Village could hear some rumors.
The black material of collusion between parliamentarians and aristocrats is flying all over the sky, and they are still scrambling to suppress public opinion.
Directly part of the royal family, the Guardians of the Spellbreakers raided the homes of several mid-sized nobles, uncovering a large number of weapons and unfinished arcane golems.
Silvermoon Speaker Darkan De La Heel cooperated in opening the door of the house and allowing the lawbreakers to enter and search, but nothing could be found.
Rebellion is an unforgivable felony in any country.
As the evidence of the hammer mounts as more and more, the frantically clamoring Silvermoon Councillors finally begin to notice that something is wrong.
This time, the old king really planned to attack them at the risk of dying.
In reality, however, these parliamentarians, blinded by blind confidence, think too highly of themselves.
It was true that the fish died, but Quel'Salas could not break the net, and the old king was ready for any eventuality.
At the critical moment, in the absence of Darkan's decision-making, the traditional aristocracy froze in the discussion of whether to completely tear their faces and raise troops.
The political struggle is changing rapidly, and if you stop and hesitate, the enemy will not stop.
When the melon-eating people got up early the next day to check on the latest developments in the square, everything seemed to have settled.
In addition to Darkan, the five Silver Moon Councilors who "instigated civil strife" were all taken down by lawbreakers and knelt on Eagle Wings Square with a disgraced face.
The old king changed his previous impression of indecision, and ended the infighting overnight.
All the nobles who tried to participate in the rebellion were breached in their homes, and in the face of hard evidence, they could not deny it.
At this point, the traditional aristocratic power that had been in power for thousands of years in Quel'Salas was dealt a devastating blow. valley
Five members of parliament were dismissed from their posts and executed in public by lawbreakers at noon on the same day.
Darkan De La Heir, who did not participate in the whole process and fully cooperated with the investigation, retained the position of speaker, and Anastria "generously" gave him two seats for the recommendation of parliament in order to reward Darkan for "getting out of the mud without being stained".
By the time Anastria finally announced the list of members of the new Silver Moon Councillor, the melon-eating crowd gradually came to their senses.
Looking at the name of Riresa Windranger on the list of councillors, some civilians with a keen sense of political smell immediately realized that Quel'Salas was about to change.
……
Although Kael'thas is far away in Taquilin, he knows everything that has changed in Silvermoon City, and the Backlight Blade has been passing on the latest information to him.
"Riresa is going to be a councilor?!"
"The sun is coming out of the west? Didn't those traditional aristocrats look down on the 'mud-legged' rangers? ”
"Traditional aristocracy? Now where is there room for them to speak, the attempted rebellion, the concealment of weapons, these charges are enough to make their heads roll. ”
"Although the Windranger family also has the title of viscount, their nobility has never been recognized by the political tycoons who have the right to speak."
"This time, Liresa entered the Silver Moon Council on behalf of the Windranger family, does this mean that the Sun King is really going to start vigorously promoting grassroots talents as those dead nobles said?"
"Okay, well done! My time is coming! ”
The storm of public opinion that swept through Quel'Salas spread more and more from north to south, and as the largest town in the southern part of the forest, Taquelin naturally had many people talking about the matter.
The reconstituted Silver Moon Council has not yet been officially inaugurated, and subsequent policy adjustments cannot be implemented for the time being.
But this could not stop the reverie of countless melon-eating people, and Quel'Salas, who was like a pool of stagnant water, suddenly burst out with amazing vitality.
The vast majority of the High Elves are looking forward to the next progress, after all, this reform is likely to be closely related to the future of everyone.
As expected, after being cleaned up by the Sun King, the remaining traditional nobles trembled and gathered around Darkan, who was still in power, to seek refuge.
But after this great upheaval, the traditional nobles and Speaker de la Heel have been holding their tails between their legs for at least a long time.
The two councillors recommended by Darkan are the kind of people who seem honest and don't like to get into trouble.
To put it simply, it's his puppet.
Darkan's ability to steer the rudder in the wind amazed Anastria.
As the situation stabilized, Kael'thas was temporarily recalled by Anastria and traveled north to Silvermoon City with Riressa, who was about to take up his post.
Before leaving, Sylvanas officially took over the position of Ranger General from his mother, witnessed by Crown Prince Kael'thas Kael'thas.
Lotherma Theron, who had been assisting Sylvanas for many years, continued to serve as her lieutenant, while Lyras sadly followed Riresa to Silvermoon City, where she received her mother's harsh guidance.
The task of receiving Remulus was entrusted by Kael'thas to Sarean and Winresa, and Valera remained by Salian's side to protect him while still holding the Sun King's secret order.
…… However, he was as dull as Sarian could understand the meaning of the old king, and he just wanted to play the emotional card and enhance Sarjan's sense of belonging to Quel'Thalas.
The upheaval in Silvermoon City had no effect on Sarren, but Julian was worried that the traditional aristocratic dog would jump over the wall and anger the Deepshadow family, who had no head in charge.
He temporarily handed over the care of Inas to Sarren, and made a trip to Silvermoon City himself.
By the time Julian returned to Sunny Peak, the turmoil had gradually subsided.
"Hmm~ Inas's soul trauma is indeed very serious."
Remulos accepted Sarren's invitation and personally came to Sunmark Peak to check on Inas's situation.
"Alpha's judgment is not wrong, she must activate her soul's self-healing ability by infusing a large amount of life force, and heal her wounds from the combination of internal and external."
"But ......"
Remulos's brows furrowed: "I know Inas's strength very well, she is also the elite of the dragon clan who survived the ancient war, even if she is not as good as Illanicus, the difference in strength between them will not be so big." ”
"There are very few people who can hurt her like this, if it weren't for the strongest Kseraki under the Old Gods......"
A gleam flashed in Remulos' eyes: "That's the Elder God himself." ”
Salian scratched his head in confusion: "What important information does Mother have that makes Enzos rather expose his whereabouts than forcibly attack?" ”
Remulos spread his hands: "This question is only known to Inas herself. ”
