After taking care of the official duties that Valilla had to choose within the territory, Sarren hurried to Silvermoon City non-stop, and entered the royal court directly to meet Kael'thas with the royal coat of arms of the Sunstrider.

"Egwen?"

Upon hearing the name, Kael'thas frowned unconsciously.

"Are you sure you can find her?"

Salian shook his head: "I'm not sure, so I'm going to send scouts to the Dust Swamp to find out the situation before I act." ”

Kael'thas nodded in agreement: "Wise decision, you can stay in Quel'Thalas to assist me during this time, and you will need to represent me in many things." ”

Kael'thas is the Sun King of Quel'Salas, and spends most of his time sitting in the palace to coordinate all important affairs, and cannot go out as freely as he did when he was a prince.

As the most senior adviser, Salian needs to travel on behalf of Kael'thas to travel to various locations to see the reform process on the ground.

Fortunately, Kael'thas has far more advisers than Sarren, and he is only needed for particularly important occasions.

"So, where do you need me to take care of lately?"

Kael'thas rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "The new port of Zuaman, three days ago, Lordaeron suddenly protested, warning Quel'Salas not to build a military port near the border between the two countries, exacerbating the tension. ”

"Oh?"

There was a meaningful look in Sarjan's eyes: "Is this what Arthas meant?" Or did Terenus wake up? ”

"Alsace."

A hint of amusement flashed in Kael'thas as he looked at Sarren, "Dalaran still has a lot of Lordaeron spies lurking, and they have reported that you and Gianna are shopping intimately to Lordaeron. ”

"It is said that Arthas was so angry that he summoned Ambassador Quel'Salas to warn him that day."

"This ......"

Salian shook his head angrily and amusedly: "What does that kid think of national affairs?" A tool to vent your private feelings? ”

Kael'thas shrugged: "Anyway, this is a warning personally issued by the crown prince of the prison state, and it is still necessary to pay attention to it. ”

"Hearing the warning from Lordaeron, the workers who are still building the port are a little uneasy, after all, they have only recently been attacked by a privateer fleet from Lordaeron's territorial waters north."

"This matter will be handed over to you, I don't care what method you use, appeasement or threat, you must ensure that the construction of the three major ports on the east coast is completed within the planned time."

"Hmmm......"

Salian touched his chin thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, has the deal with Kul Tiras been negotiated?" ”

Kael'thas had a pleased smile on his face: "The Commerce Department has reached an agreement with them, and Admiral Berriman led the sailors to sail back the first batch of 5 warships. ”

"Heh~ That's going to be easy."

The corners of Sarjan's mouth curled into a mocking arc: "I bet that Arthas of the prison country does not have the power to mobilize the Lordaeron fleet, and even if he forcibly orders, the number of warships that can be used is extremely limited. ”

It was not the first time that Kael'thas and Sarren had cooperated, and he immediately understood: "I'll give Berriman an an order to lead the fleet to patrol the eastern coast, and I'm also betting that Arthas won't dare to mess around, and Tyrenus isn't dead yet." ”

……

After relinquishing the espionage missions of various countries to the Defense Intelligence Agency, Backlight Blade is only responsible for important tasks directly delivered by the Sun King.

As a representative of the Sun King, Saljan was also able to wield the Backlight Blade after receiving the Kael'thas Charter.

After leaving Kael'thas's office, Saléan went directly to Uncle Verese and entrusted him with the task of going to the Dust Swamp to find someone.

Verles asked with some confusion: "Dust Swamp I know, there is a record on the map of Kalimdor you made, and what is Ratchet City?" ”

Saléan pointed to the barren lands of central and eastern Kalimdor on the map.

"Ratchet City is a port city built by the Goblin Hot Sand Consortium, which echoes the Treasure Bay that is also owned by the Hot Sand Consortium."

"The Hot Sand Consortium transports Kalimdor's specialties from Ratchet City to the Eastern Kingdom for sale, earning a lot of the difference."

"Heh~"

Verles sneered, "The goblins are still so mercenary. ”

Saljan spread his hands disappreciatively: "As long as they don't follow crooked ways, there's nothing wrong with making money itself." ”

"Speaking of which, the Hot Sand Consortium contacted me two years ago."

"They want to get in touch with the Minotaurs of the South Sea Harbor through Quel'Thalas's network, and they want to establish a goblin city in the northern part of the Tanaris Desert."

"Tanaris?" Veres frowned and asked, "What resources does that desert have that worth obtaining?" Isn't it for the oil of Angolo Crater? ”

Salian shook his head: "There may be such an idea, but this is not the main purpose of the Hot Sand Consortium. ”

"They want to occupy the salt pans of the Shining Plains, the importance of salt as a thing...... I don't need to say more, right? ”

Vellais asked thoughtfully, "You don't have any ideas about this natural salt farm?" ”

"Not yet."

Salian sighed: "Our forces in Kalimdor are still too weak, and we can only prioritize the safety of the oil fields in the crater, and the flash plain is beyond the reach of the whip for the time being. ”

"Hey~"

Vellais rubbed his forehead in distress: "The main problem is that our population is too small. ”

Population and population growth are perennial issues for the High Elves.

Today's High Elves were bred after Darth Rema led Kalimdor's upper elves eastward.

The upper elves were nobles of the Night Empire, accounting for less than 10% of the Night Empire's total population.

The High Elves who are willing to follow Darth Rema to the East are only a part of the High Elves of Sin' Aisari.

Even if the War of the Ancients had greatly reduced the total population of the Night Elf civilians, the population of the upper elves who followed Darth Remar to the east was only 3% of the total population at most.

Speaking of which, the reason for the disparity in power between Quel'Salas and the Night Republic is obvious.

Population, population, or special population!

Due to the eternal punishment given by the rules of nature, the Night Elves have a lower fertility rate than the High Elves.

But it can't stand the large population base of the Night Elves, even if the Battle of Sartre and the Battle of Quicksand caused heavy losses to the Night Elves, their total population is still dozens of times that of the High Elves, which makes Saljan and Kael'thas very greedy.

The return of the upper elves of Sindra can be regarded as a wave of blood for Quel'Salas, but the total population of Sindra who has been slaughtered by Torsedlin is also very pitiful, not to mention the eldest brother.

"Hey~"

Salian smiled bitterly and looked at the clear sky above Silvermoon City: "I don't know where Mom and Dad went to relax, I hope she can find the inspiration to solve the genetic mystery as soon as possible." ”

In a predominantly feudal world like Azeroth, population is the foundation of a country.

Not to mention anything else, if the population of the High Elves is sufficient, there is no need for Sarjan to give up the Solazar Basin and the Borean Tundra to the Night Elves, isn't it delicious to eat by himself?

However, with the current population of the High Elves, expanding the territory in the Jingge Forest is the limit, at most, they will secretly take down another Donghug Lake, and there is no spare strength to continue to expand.

In contrast, although human beings have a short lifespan, their strong fertility rate allows them to expand their territory at a rapid rate, and each generation is a new generation of hope.

Salaen doesn't want the High Elves to give birth to a litter at a time like a sow gives birth, as long as it can reproduce as efficiently as humans.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it yet."

What can't be solved for the time being, Saray doesn't put extra energy into worrying.

"Uncle, I'll be staying in the country for a while now, if the thieves of the Backlight Blade find out about Egwene's whereabouts, please let me know as soon as possible."

"After the fall of the Council of Tirisfa, more and more demons have infiltrated Azeroth, and they have become more and more unscrupulous."

"We must rebuild the Council of Tirisfa as soon as possible, and find Merry Winterwind through Egwene as quickly as possible."

Vellais asked puzzledly, "Wouldn't it be okay to just let Egwen himself come forward?" Why do you have to Merry Winterwind? ”

Salian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course it would be best if I could move her, but now Egwene is no longer the high-spirited and unruly guardian of the past." ”

"Medivan's fall and death have dealt a huge blow to her, and I'm not sure if I can convince her to come back on the mountain, so I can only lower my expectations and hope to get news of Merry Winterwind from her."

"Speaking of the Council of Tirisfa......"

Velles suddenly mentioned an important piece of information: "Have you asked Valeera's family about this?" ”

"Huh?"

Sarian asked puzzled, "What does it have to do with them?" ”

"You don't know?"

Vellais patted his forehead in annoyance: "Blame me for not telling you in advance." ”

"The Sangunar family...... More precisely, it was the branch to which Valera belonged, and in the early years there was an outstanding magister named Lefsella. ”

"Lefsera was once a member of the Council of Tirisfa, and Valeera's family should still have some information he left behind, perhaps with clues related to Merry Winterwind."
