Chapter 1038: Wild Conjecture
Ever since the last time Darkan unexpectedly took the initiative to participate in the gathering of the nobles in the southern part of the Yongge Forest, Sarian always felt that something was wrong with this guy, but he couldn't explain why in the absence of clues.
After that, the Backlight Blade thieves who monitored Darkan did not detect anything out of the ordinary.
For a while, even Valera thought that Darkan had really cultivated his mind.
However, Sarjan, who knew Darkan's true nature, knew that it was impossible.
The more normal he behaved on the surface, the more it showed that this guy had a big plan behind it.
Having just returned to Quel'Thalas from the Emerald Dream through the Dream Path, Sarjan, who had not yet turned his mind back from the Emerald Dream, suddenly thought of a possibility.
Darkan's new thighs are not the Elder Gods who use the Dream Path to reach Quel'Salas?
The thought startled Saljan.
The Elder Gods are the best at demagoguery, and their every move is simply not something that mortal backlight blades can easily detect.
Thinking further, Saray even guessed that it might be the new Dream Demon King Varosson who had never disappeared before.
The Old Gods are still locked in their own cages, and even Enzos, the most escaped from prison, is far from breaking free.
In this case, if Darkan wants to have contact with the Elder Gods, he must have a medium as a transit, and is there anyone more suitable than the Dream Demon King who has come and gone without a trace?
Like Savis, Valosen, who has long since died physically, has no physical body, and can only move in a special subplane such as the Emerald Dream.
Assuming that Darkan did make contact with Valosen, where did he get in touch with the Dream Demon King?
'Sasara...... Temple of Dysom? ’
As the saying goes, make bold guesses and verify carefully.
Sarean intends to wait for the end of this cabinet meeting to send someone to investigate Darkan's anomalous whereabouts over the past few years.
For now, though, he needs to refute Darkan's fanning, old-fashioned conservative rhetoric.
In today's increasingly open and inclusive Quel'Thalas, Salaen and Kael'thas will not allow this long-outdated conservatism to resurface.
"Uh~"
Sarjan's smiling question made Darkan's face stiffen.
No matter how much he advocates the arrogance in the bones of the High Elves, this kind of thing can only be said behind closed doors at home, and it is taken outside to hype it up, which is properly no emotional intelligence.
Obviously, Darkan, who has long been an old politician, is not this kind of stunned youth.
Although he was stabbed by Sarjan's words, the cheeky Darkan quickly adjusted back and greeted Sarjan with a casual smile.
"It turned out to be the Duke of Deep Shadow, I heard that you took a large family to Kalimdo for your honeymoon, it would be great to be able to come back at the critical moment before the war, Quel'Salas needs your planning and layout skills."
Sarjan and Kael'thas exchanged glances quickly, and both of them had the same sarcasm in their eyes, invariably ignoring the provocative meaning of Darkan's words.
"Yes, if I hadn't accidentally suffered a little injury and recuperated in the Emerald Dream for more than a month, I should have rushed back earlier, so I wouldn't have heard His Excellency the Prime Minister's 'retro' argument against the times."
Although Saljan doesn't like this kind of intrigues, it doesn't mean that he can't at all.
In order to avoid the topic entering Darkan's best field, Salian replied sarcastically and quickly returned to the topic.
"The war against the Burning Legion is not something that any one nation can afford on its own, even if the demonic army that invaded through the Dark Gate is only a partial division."
Sarean did not hesitate to echo Leesa's concerns: "After changing to a new weapon, Quel'Thalas has never fought with other countries. ”
"It's going to be a process of adaptation for both us and our allies."
"It's not a question of who accommodates whom, it's simply a win-win situation."
"Guys, think about it."
Salian looked around at the cabinet members present: "If there are unnecessary battle losses on the battlefield due to insufficient cooperation with allies, isn't it still us who suffer?" ”
"As for the ...... of profit"
Sarian looked at Darkan, who still had a formulaic smile on his face, as if he had a deep meaning: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, it can't be you, right?" ”
"Hahaha!" Darkan shook his head and smiled, "Duke Deepshadow, don't be kidding, I'm also a member of Quel'Thalas, how can I expect our army to be damaged in battle." ”
'A member of Quel'Thalas?' Heh~ That's hard to say. ’
An extreme egoist like Darkan does not have a sense of belonging to any force, everything he does serves his own interests.
If Quel'Thalas's interests conflict with his own, Sarean has no doubt that he will decisively choose to prioritize his own interests over the interests of his country.
Because that's the nature of Darkan Delahir.
As there was no evidence to support his wild speculation, Sarean did not hold on to Darkan.
The most important thing at the moment is to seize the last bit of time before the start of the war to complete the preparations in full swing, and Sarren does not have the spare time to fight with him.
Kael'thas interrupted Darkan's offensive remarks that he was about to exit with a timely voice: "So Duke of Deepshadow, in your opinion, how should we complete the run-in with other countries in the shortest possible time without revealing too many hole cards?" ”
Saryan spread his hands and said: "Actually, at this juncture, we have nothing to hide, anyway, it will be exposed to everyone in two months at most." ”
"If Your Majesty is really not at ease, we can first use the older version of the magic guide weapon in the joint training with the armies of other countries, and then replace it back to the latest model when it is time for actual combat."
"As far as I know, there is no essential change in the mode of use of the replacement of magic weapons, and some differences will not affect our cooperation with the allies' armies in actual combat."
"Hmmm......"
Kael'thas looked inquiringly at Lilesa, and the Secretary of State for Defense was quick to respond positively.
"I agree with Duke Deepshadow's proposal, it is indeed necessary to keep a hand, after all, it is necessary to guard against people."
"However, the war is about to start, and in order to avoid mistakes due to coordination problems on the battlefield, we should still take the initiative to find out to the allies of the alliance in advance."
"Coordination training with older versions of weapons is the best compromise."
Kael'thas weighed it a little and nodded: "Then so be it, the issue of military cooperation is still left to the Minister of Defense to follow up, and the cooperation with other countries will be worked in as soon as possible." ”
Although Lilesa was already in a high position, she still adhered to the style of a soldier, and meticulously saluted Kael'thas in response: "Obey!" ”
After a series of questions about cooperation in diplomatic, economic, and domestic affairs, Sarian did not intervene in a series of interesting matters, and still adhered to his personal conviction and left professional things to professional people.
After the meeting, Kael'thas invited Saljan to accompany him to his study to report on the important observations of the trip.
Every time Salian goes out, he brings back a lot of important information about the world situation, and the cabinet ministers have long been accustomed to this.
But before leaving, Kael'thas asked casually in front of all the cabinet members.
"By the way, what did you say about a little bit of a minor injury? Could it be that there is a conflict with the Night Elves? ”
Before answering Kael'thas concern, Sarean glanced at the expressions of the cabinet members present.
Most of them at least showed curiosity, and people like Li Lisa, who were close to the Deepshadow family, also showed some concern.
Darkan alone......
Although he had a curious look on his face, Salian didn't see even the slightest surprise in his eyes.
So, this guy already knew that I had been in the Emerald Dream for a month and a half because of my injury? Where did the information come from? Is it difficult to ......'
Saljan still wanted to habitually think about the worst-case scenario, and Darkan's unusual reaction made him more certain of his previous suspicions.
Aside from the Green Dragon and the Night Elves, who followed the whole process, there were very few people who knew that Salam was injured, and even fewer who knew that he had stayed in the Emerald Dream Realm to recuperate during this time.
How did Darkan, who was far away across the sea, know that Sarren was injured? The answer is actually quite obvious.
Although he was more vigilant against Darkan, Saljan responded to the concern of Kael'thas and Liresa with a quiet smile on his face.
"No, although I have some philosophical differences with the Night Elves on some issues, it is far from the point of conflict, my injuries are self-inflicted, and my cultivation has gone wrong."
As Sarjan expected, although Darkan knew that Sarjan was injured, the cause of his injury was unclear.
When this question was mentioned, Darkan, who had been a little performative before, finally showed a more sincere curiosity.
Sarjan was not obligated to solve the puzzle of Darkan, who was destined to become an enemy, and did not explain this issue in depth, and followed Kael'thas into the apse of the royal court, the living area of the Sun King.
Kael'thas has been friends with Sarjan for many years, and some clues can be seen from the change in his demeanor.
The Sun King cooperated with Saljan to stop talking about injuries, and instead began to ask about some of the unique customs and customs of the Kalimdor continent.
As the laughter of the two faded away, the cabinet ministers who wanted to eat melons shrugged their shoulders and left with a smile.
Darkan also mixed in with the crowd and greeted his colleagues with a smile on his face, but he was always concerned about the injury that Sarren had mentioned earlier.
'Something went wrong with cultivation?' Could it be because of the conflict of energy in the body caused by the two diametrically opposed origin forces mentioned by that person? ’
If it is, does it mean that this half-dragon clan may have similar problems in the future? ’
'If you can find the law that his strength is in trouble, maybe ......'
