Chapter 686: Lordanlun Rises
Sarren: "I can sneak, it's not that easy for those who didn't prepare for me to catch me." β
The little white cat arched its back and was ready to eject and set off, and the footsteps outside the hall were clearly audible at this time.
'Ready. β
After gesturing to Garia, Sarai listened intently as two rhythmic footsteps approached the door of the study.
Before the two knocked on the door, Jialia preemptively walked out of the study and took a look at the two inspectors who were about to walk to the door.
As Galia said, the two priests and mages in charge of inspecting the harem were both women and looked quite young.
At this juncture, Salian is not in the mood to judge their appearance and age.
'Now is the time! β
Before the two of them reached the door, their attention shifted to Galia, and the little white cat turned into a white shadow and squeezed out of the study window that opened a thin slit.
"Huh?"
The slight rattle of the window being squeezed open caught the attention of the two inspectors.
"Princess Galia, is there anyone else in your study?"
Jialia's heart tightened, but she smiled and shook her head on the surface: "No, it should be the wind that blew the window open." β
The existence of the little white cat of Sarjan was unknown to no one except for Princess Galia's two personal maids.
And these two maids are all Calia's henchmen, and they have a very strict mouth and don't talk nonsense everywhere.
The two inspectors didn't dig deeper, after all, they couldn't have imagined that someone could break into the palace barrier that had been reinforced several times without permission.
The little white cat sneaked away from Galia's palace and immediately picked up speed, bypassing the prosecutors along the way, and hiding in a remote palace that was inaccessible to all people.
Confirming that there was no one around, Salian reverted to his raven form, grabbed the letter with Calia's magical fluctuations and flapped his wings.
Originally, Salian planned to say hello to the head of the intelligence bureau thieves lurking in the royal city of Lordaeron and set off for Quel'Thalas, but when he spread his wings and flew near the stronghold of the civilian area of the royal city, he unexpectedly realized that something was wrong.
This stronghold was handed over to the Defense Intelligence Agency by Backlight Blade, and is a grocery store run by the native Lordaeron of the Royal City.
The boss and his wife, both in their 40s, were recruited by Backlight Blade as members of the Outer Wing of the Order more than a decade ago, and have been providing Quel'Thalas with first-hand information from Lordaeron for years.
The couple had three sons and a daughter, the eldest and second sons were admitted to the Royal Academy of Magic and Wizardry of Quel'Salas for their merits, and announced that they would go to Quel'Salas to expand their business.
The 10-year-old daughter and the 1-year-old son stayed in the store to live with their parents, and the family had a very stable life...... At least on the surface.
When Salian returned to the grocery store, he was surprised to find several Lordaeron officials interrogating the two couples with bitter faces.
Sensing that something was wrong, Sarean immediately let go of his senses.
Sure enough, there were no more Intelligence Bureau thieves in the stronghold.
'Coincidence? Or is someone exposed? β
Judging from the demeanor of the husband and wife, the situation does not seem to be too serious.
The hostess was still holding her young son in her hands, and the man was holding her daughter with a look of unease on her face, and did not let the intelligence officers of Quel'Salas send them away.
The stronghold was not suitable for settling down for the time being, so Salian simply turned around and flew out of the city.
When Onexia had infiltrated Lordaeron before, she had set up a temporary base in the town of Brill on the outskirts of the city, based on her expertise and experience.
After arriving in the town of Brill, Sarayan finally found the thieves of the Intelligence Bureau who had disappeared from the city.
"Daniel, debriefing, has anyone been exposed?"
Infiltrating the basement of a tavern, Salian immediately appeared to ask questions of the thieves who were gathered around to discuss the matter.
Daniel Moon Hunter, the leader of the thieves, was originally a member of Backlight Blade, but when the Defense Intelligence Agency was established, he voluntarily transferred to it and was appointed as the head of the Intelligence Agency in Lordaeron King City.
Daniel shook his head, "No, it's just that Terenus has gone crazy suddenly. β
"Oh?" Salian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tell me in detail." β
Daniel shrugged: "I heard that during today's great court meeting, Terenus was furious, and not long after the meeting ended, he ordered the thieves of Lordaeron's Intelligence Department to strictly investigate the 'rats' planted by the countries in the royal city. β
"Closely investigated...... After the end of the pilgrimage? Heh~ I see. β
The corners of Sarren's mouth curled with a hint of sarcasm.
"Don't you think it's too late to crush your feet now?"
Daniel asked puzzledly, "Lord Earl, do you know anything inside?" β
"Sort of."
Salian retracted his superfluous expression, and said to Daniel and the others: "In today's court meeting, Princess Jialia, who has never expressed her opinions, stood up for the first time, stood on the side of the Lord and the faction, and directly finalized the peace talks. β
For Terenus, Princess Garia's change was too sudden, and he suspected that someone was secretly encouraging his daughter...... Although in fact this is indeed the case. β
Daniel looked stunned: "What do you mean by that...... Don't? β
To be on the safe side, Saljan did not tell the members of the Intelligence Service, including Daniel, about his infiltration into the palace of Lordaeron.
Now that he had escaped from the palace, there was no need to continue to hide from them.
"As you guessed, I must have been hiding in Princess Jialia's palace for most of the month."
"Wow~"
Quel'Salas has always been liberal, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not stiff during non-mission periods.
Knowing that Salaan had been lurking in Princess Galia's palace for more than half a month, many people whistled on the spot, and their faces also showed meaningful expressions.
Salian complained angrily: "Put away your associations, in order not to reveal your whereabouts, I have been in animal form during this time, and nothing has happened like you imagined." β
The thieves only made a joke to ease the atmosphere, laughing at Sarren's explanation, without delving into the truth of the statement.
Daniel didn't participate in the coaxing of his subordinates, he dragged his chin with one hand and thought, "Princess Galia will be fine, right?" She's the most senior inside line we can pull together. β
Sarjan shook his head, "Before I left the palace, Galia was called over by Terenus and scolded her, but it didn't hurt. β
"After this face-to-face refutation, the decline of Tyrenus's influence is visible to the naked eye, and coupled with his physical problems, Tyrenus's reign will not be too long."
"The next year will be the focus, and you all listen to me."
Sarren's expression was serious and he said to the elite intelligence officers present: "If my prediction is not wrong, in the next year, Lordaeron will be plunged into even more serious internal turmoil due to the battle for the storage position. β
"During this precious time, the Central Committee of the Intelligence Bureau will issue new instructions to you at any time, and it is necessary to ensure the smooth operation of the intelligence network."
"If the time is too urgent, there is no time to report...... Daniel, His Majesty Kael'thas has granted you the right to dispense on the spot, and everything is time-sensitive, but you must carefully consider the pros and cons before making a decision. β
"Remember, all your decisions represent the Sun King, our homeland of Quel'Thalas."
Daniel's expression suddenly grimaced, and he bowed respectfully in the direction of the Eternal Song Forest.
"Daniel Moon Hunter takes it to heart, and thanks His Majesty the Sun King for his trust."
After explaining the follow-up, SalΓ©an walked out of the portal with the help of the intelligence department's mage.
Seeing Sarren's back disappear into the door, one of the intelligence officers said with emotion: "The battle for the storage position...... Fortunately, His Majesty Kael'thas has no siblings, so we don't have to worry about that. β
The other shook his head: "A single pass is not necessarily a good thing, in case...... In short, there are pros and cons to branching out. β
"Alright, guys."
Daniel clapped his hands and motioned for the others to be quiet: "You have all heard, in the next year, our task will be very heavy, everyone will give me the spirit of twelve, and I must not live up to His Majesty's trust!" β
"Yes!"
Suppressing his excitement, Daniel stepped out of the underground chamber to the window of the first floor of the detached hut and looked up in the direction of the royal city of Lordaeron.
"Lordaeron, who has been still for a long time, is finally about to get the wind, and I don't know who will have the last laugh under this gust of wind."
