Chapter 473: The Divergence of the World Line

Leanda Sunstrider, the name Salaam had heard from Kael'thas mouth.

Due to the low fertility rate of the High Elves, he is the only descendant of the Sunstrider royal family in Kael'thas generation.

Although Leanda can also take the surname of the Sunchaser, her blood relationship with Kael'thas is very weak, and she is not even a close relative.

The Sunstrider was a well-known family among the upper elves before he founded Quel'Thalas, and there were quite a few side members.

Leanda's ancestors and Darth Lema are brothers, and in the words of the barrage, Kael'thas and Leanda's generation have already made five suits.

The thinness of the Sunstrider family has alarmed all classes of Quel'Thalas.

Since Darth Rema, the Sunstriders have ruled Quel'Thalas, and even though the Silvermoon Council has repeatedly denigrated the prestige of the Sunstriders, they have not been able to shake their position in the hearts of the High Elves.

In the event of Kael'thas death, there is not even a single member of the Sunstrider family who can take over the throne.

That's why Anastria raised her hands in favor of Sarean's genetic engineering plan when it learned about it.

From the beginning of Inas's genetic engineering research to the present, the progress of the research cannot be said to be smooth sailing, but at least in terms of resources, there is no need to worry, and it is definitely enough.

For the long-lived High Elves, Kael'thas is still young and has plenty of time to wait for the day when Inas will come up with the results of her research.

The High Elves who have enough time are not afraid to wait, but they are afraid that there is no hope.

For example, the sad King of the Stormwind Kingdom in front of Sarjan.

King Ryan died young, leaving only one of Varian's own children.

This is obviously not normal and safe for humans, who have a high fertility rate compared to the High Elves.

In the event of Varian's unexpected death, the throne will inevitably fall to other branches of the House of Urion in order to maintain the authority of House Urion.

According to Varian himself, he had two princes, uncles, and two aunts who were married to him, both eyeing the throne.

The reason why the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom dare to be so rampant now is that there are inevitably those who covet the throne behind them.

When he first got married, Varian disliked Queen Tiffin's low background and didn't have much in common with him.

Queen Tiffan came from a small noble family with a small name, and due to the different education she received from childhood, her relationship with Varian was very strained when she first married.

But now Varian must be grateful for the wise decision left by his father, King Lane, and fortunately did not hand over the position of queen to those high-ranking nobles, otherwise...... He can't find a trustworthy person in the harem of Stormwind Fortress.

Varian's problems are worse than those of the original Sunchaser royal family.

In addition to the military power still in hand, the Storm Kingdom of Nuoda, Varian Leng can't find a few courtiers who can be truly trusted.

Sarian is not a soft-hearted person, Varian deliberately sneaked out of the palace to ask him, he did not hide it, and did not shy away from suggesting that Varian go straight to the heavy hand.

With Gavin Rad's support, the royal family of Ureon is still in military power, which means that those nobles can only force Varian to back down step by step through dirty political means.

Varian wasn't stupid, he could see the undercurrents surging in Stormstorm Fortress clearly.

Queen Tiffin was assassinated the last time she was out to visit the Brotherhood of Stonemasons who had rebuilt Stormwind.

Varian was furious when he heard the news, and the members of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons were almost thrown into prison for torture, but it was only through Queen Tiffin herself that Varian was persuaded to calm his anger.

The reason why the queen personally came forward to pay the brotherhood of stonemasons was because the nobles were reluctant to fulfill their original promise and did not want to pay the salaries of the craftsmen, which led to the annoyed protests of the craftsmen who were owed wages.

Varian wanted to give it, but the kingdom's treasury couldn't get the money for the time being.

The nobles patted their chests and promised that they would pay for the money, but when it came to the end, they suddenly reversed themselves, making Varian and Tiffin angry.

There was clearly another mastermind behind the assassination, and it was not intentional by the Brotherhood of Masons.

Queen Tiffin saw through the scenes, and did not embarrass the poor craftsmen who could not get paid, and even took the initiative to summon Edwin Van Cleef, the leader of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, after the assassination, to tell the head of the artisan the family the truth about the arrears.

This temporary relief of the pressure and reputation crisis faced by the royal family, and smoothly diverted the anger of the Brotherhood of Masons to the heads of the nobles who rebelled.

According to the information provided by the barrage, in the original history, Queen Tiffin died in this inexplicable riot.

Lost Queen Tiffin as a virtuous helper, Varian furiously tried to put all the stonemasons to death.

With the help of some "righteous men" who cruelly murdered innocents, Edwin Van Cleef led the Brotherhood of Stonemasons out of prison and hid in the mines of death in the Wild West, where they became the infamous Brotherhood of Defia.

The turmoil of the Brotherhood of Defia lasted for many years, and had a very serious impact on the revival of the Stormwind Kingdom.

And the person who secretly instigated the rebellion of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons in the original history, Saljan is very familiar with the black dragon princess Onexia who is chatting with Valera and Stella Gosa at this time.

Or rather...... Countess Presto.

Ratania's intrigue was not as sophisticated as Onexia's, and she was not careful enough to plan the rebellion of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, and failed to kill Queen Tiffin in one blow, which led to a series of historical disagreements that followed.

Sarjan told Varian exactly what Queen Tiffen's death might be, which really made him break out in a cold sweat.

Varian couldn't imagine how hysterical he would be without Tiffin's support, and maybe the conspirators would take the opportunity to take the throne in one fell swoop.

Some of the barrages questioned at this time.

[No, I remember when the Brotherhood of Stonemasons rioted, Anduin was already born, right? 】

[That's right, this event was brought forward by a few years.] 】

[Obviously, the female black dragon named Ratania was not patient enough, and she was anxious to detonate the conflict before the anger of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons reached its peak, causing the conflict between the craftsmen and the royal family to be less intense than expected.] 】

[Tiffin is not dead, and Varian will not give up on himself, so he can be regarded as escaping. 】

[Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk. 】

[Although he has escaped the crisis of soul splitting, Varian has also lost a lot of opportunities because of this, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to grow into the supreme king of the alliance who is admired by countless people. 】

[Harm! If Varian had been chosen, I think he would be more willing to save his wife's life than his own upbringing. 】

Having escaped this fate, Varian began to think about how to fight back.

Tiffin's trip to appease the Brotherhood of Stonemasons is no secret, but the timing of the assassination was too clever and the timing and place were just right.

If it weren't for Pasonia Shore's patrolling the neighborhood, the Assassins might have been able to get their hands on them.

As a result, Varian's trust in the minions in Stormstorm Fortress plummeted, and he hid in Bowval's house to secretly meet with Sarjan and seek advice from outsiders who had no domestic interests involved.

Varian in this timeline is still very immature, and Sarian has given a tough idea to solve the problem, but he is worried about causing civil unrest in the kingdom, and he has never been able to make up his mind.

It wasn't until Saljan spoke out about the possible consequences of Queen Tiffany's death that Varian's demeanor changed visibly.

"If they don't do it, they may continue to do it against you and Queen Tiffany."

Sarian reminded solemnly: "Is there a thousand days of anti-thief truth in this world? It's better to strike first and completely cut off their dog's paws. ”

"Damn! Those rebellious ministers and thieves without a king and a father! ”

Varian's eyes were shining, and the safety of his family was at stake, and he finally made up his mind to clean up the chaos of the nobles' abuse of power within the kingdom.

That's all for the time being.

The use of the military against the nobles would inevitably provoke a new round of internal unrest.

In order to divert the attention of the populace as much as possible, Varian hopes to increase trade with Quel'Thalas, bringing more High Elve-made novelty goods to the Stormwind Kingdom.

"This question...... I don't dare to assert myself. ”

Salian spread his hands: "I will convey your request to His Majesty Kael'thas with my personal advice, and the follow-up matters will be continued by Ambassador Lorian Sunshade." ”

"Your Majesty Varian, I came to Stormwind this time for another important matter, and I hope that MI7 can help me in this matter."
