Chapter 988: The Free Undead Long-term Planning
As the saying goes, paper can't contain fire.
Although the resurrection of Fao as an undead has not yet been exposed at this stage, such a large grave has been dug open, and the body that should have been buried in the soil is nowhere to be found.
The Church of Light will inevitably spend a lot of energy searching for the whereabouts of Saint Fao's body in the near future, and will also inform Queen Galia for help in this kind of important matter.
Rather than allowing Fao's undead identity to be passively exposed and causing large-scale turmoil in the Church of the Light, it is better for him to take the initiative to reach out to some trusted high-level people in the church and the central government.
With their cooperation, Fao can keep the heat of this matter down, at least not to make a storm in the city.
In the original history, Fao, who had awakened from his nightmare, single-handedly founded the Esoteric Sect, which was mainly composed of undead priests, and continued to practice the way of the Light in his mind in a different way from the Church of the Light.
As the Scourge Legion gradually comes to the fore, more and more people will be awakened from their deaths.
It was impossible for Sarren to watch the Scourge grow unbridledly.
The Scourge Legion was a pawn he had raised to divert the attention of the Burning Legion, and he couldn't allow it to get out of his control.
Regardless of whether Yin Lidan will also bombard the Frozen Throne with the Eye of Sargeras in this timeline, it is necessary to weaken the mental power of Naozu, who controls the Helm of Domination, if necessary.
The difference is only who is doing it.
Once a crack appears in the Frozen Throne and Naozu's soul essence leaks out, his will control over the undead of the Scourgeon will will inevitably decline, and more undead with free will like Fao will appear.
Saljan wasn't sure if the free undead would name themselves the Forsaken, and after they were suddenly freed, the bewildered undead would need someone to guide them.
The Banshee King is destined to be impossible, and Salaen hopes that Fao, who once led the Church of Light, will take on the task.
Listening to Sarren's long-term planning, Fao was very impressed by his foresight and layout ability, but at the same time, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"You've really given me a tough task."
Salian smiled and spread his hands: "It's better to have a long-term goal worth fighting for than to ramble around aimlessly, right?" β
Fao smiled with relief: "That's right, after becoming an undead, I have endless time, and I really need to find something to do for myself, so as not to think about it all day." β
The dead and the living are two very different groups, and individuals with strong willpower like Fao are only a minority after all, and most of the undead will not be able to suppress their instinctive jealousy for the living.
If there is no one to guide them, sooner or later this jealousy will turn into anger that burns their sanity.
The priests of the Holy Light Church, as the name suggests, their duty is to shepherd the believers of the Holy Light, and guiding the believers to goodness is also one of the important tasks of the pastor.
Fao, who had served as an archbishop, was very good at this, and at least at this stage, Sareen could not think of a better person to lead the free undead than he was.
Although he said that the burden given by Sarlian was not light, Fao finally accepted the task happily.
Next, he plans to hide his identity and follow Salian and Valeera.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the two to go to the royal city to watch the ceremony, Fao plans to return to the center of Lordaeron and try to contact some trustworthy people to tell them the truth about his resurrection, and gain their trust and assistance.
Among these people was the soon-to-be-reigned Galia.
The rest of the situation doesn't have to worry about Sarren, the experienced Fao can handle everything himself.
As Sarren had predicted, after discovering that Fao's grave had been exhumed and his body had disappeared, the monastery immediately informed the Church Investigation Team who had come to check on the situation.
Three days later, the news of the theft of Fao's body reached the ears of Caria, who was overwhelmed by a lot of chores.
Considering the huge impact that this matter may have on the followers of the Holy Light after it was exposed, the big-headed Gallia chose to press the news for the time being and send intelligence agents to secretly investigate the whole story.
Lordaeron, whose throne had been vacant for months, was in desperate need of a successor to stabilize the situation.
After consulting with her confidants, the enthronement ceremony arranged by Galia for herself was half a month after Alsace conceded defeat, and there was only less than a week left before today.
It is imperative that the long-turbulent situation in the country be sorted out first, and that no further variables be added.
It was at this time that Saljan and Valera entered the royal city of Lordaeron in the open, as representatives of the Quel'Salas Ceremony, followed by Alonthos Fao, who was covered in black robes.
After arriving at the Quel'Thalas Embassy in Lordaeron, Sarjan first briefly explained the situation to the current ambassador, and made contact with Unicorn City and Silvermoon City with the help of the equipment and personnel in the embassy.
Due to the lack of mages in the entourage on this trip, SalΓ©an could only rely on his lame spatial spell attainments to reluctantly pass some notes to report his safety to his family.
Now that she had finally seen Sarean and Valera herself, Stella Gosa, who had been a little restless lately, was relieved.
Yin Nasi comforted beside her: "Look, I'll just say that this kid is not so easy to get into trouble, he can be honest." β
Salian rolled his eyes helplessly: "In short, in order to ensure the smooth transmission of information, Stella, you and Tina, or Gianna at least one person, who will come, you can discuss it yourself." β
Gianna took the opportunity to raise her hand and recommend herself: "I, me, me!" I can represent Kul Tiras at the same time. β
"Tanderley is busy receiving his father's teachings on the way of kingship, and his father originally planned to let Priscilla accompany his mother to watch the ceremony, and with me on the horse, my mother will not have to make this trip."
Catherine Prodmoore's ability to govern in all aspects...... It can only be said that it is catastrophic, and she knows it herself.
Even with Priscilla Ashvan's help, there are still situations that Catherine needs to deal with by herself, and she really has no bottom in her heart because of her lack of ability.
Gianna volunteered to take the task, and Catherine would have raised her hands in approval.
It just so happens that Queen Galia Minahir, who is about to ascend the throne, is also a young person, so there can be more topics among young people.
Stellagossa and Tina Gossa glanced at each other, and invariably gave up this opportunity to Gianna, who looked expectant.
For a while now, Valera has been by Sarren's side, and Gianna, who has been left behind in Unicorn City, is quite uneasy about this.
In a hurry, she completed the docking with Kurtilas, and quickly teleported over that afternoon.
Due to the perverse actions of Terenus in the late years of his rule, Lordaeron's relations with his neighbors were in decline.
With the exception of Dalaran, who is confirmed to be attended by the new speaker of the parliament, Ronin, no second head of state is willing to attend the ceremony in person.
After Jialia officially ascended the throne, she had to start repairing diplomatic relations with various countries, which can be said to be a long way to go.
As early as learning that Quel'Salas's representative was her life mentor, Salaan Deepshadow, she had been silently looking forward to it.
Hearing that Sarren had arrived in the royal city, Galia put aside her busy work for the time being and sent an invitation to the embassy of Quel'Salas as soon as possible.
For Saljan, Galia's invitation came at the right time, like someone offering a pillow when she was sleepy.
Fao was originally a little hesitant to contact a few old friends who had the best relationship with him before his death, and use them as a breakthrough to inform the upper echelons of the Holy Light Church about his return.
Now that Galia had sent out the invitation first, Fao happened to follow Salian into the palace as an entourage to ventilate with Garia.
Gianna also wanted to follow Sarjan to act together, but her current identity was the representative of Kurtilas, and it was not good to follow her as the entourage of the representative of Quel Saras, so she could only watch depressedly as Valiera took Sarjan's hand and gradually walked away.
In fact, Valeera's mood was not as good as it appeared.
Although Sarian repeatedly denied it, she used a woman's intuition to make a bold guess that the would-be queen, who had been in correspondence with Sarren, had ill intentions against her man.
Busy with her feet touching the ground, Gallia invited the newly arrived Sarian into the palace parlor to meet her, and Valeera further confirmed her speculation.
On the way to the palace, Valera whispered in Sarren's ear a little helplessly: "How many more women do you want to provoke?" Tell me the bottom of it. β
Sallian looked inexplicable: "Huh? β
"When did you see me take the initiative to provoke a woman? Do you blame me for being too charming? β
