Chapter 1253: Sarren's Connections
Including the four nobles, most of the nobles who were entitled during the founding of Quel'Salas were political allies of the upper elves who traveled east with Darth Rema.
These families were not knighted for their military exploits, and they did not follow the same path as the nobles from the beginning.
The descendants of the founding nobles will naturally follow the Arcanist Trail that leads straight to the clouds.
At least within 2 generations, the founding nobles who have not yet completely degenerated can indeed be regarded as important ministers of the country.
Interestingly, for the long-lived High Elves, the alternation of the two generations coincided with the time when the forest trolls launched a general attack on Quel'Thalas, that is, the battle of the trolls 3,000 years ago.
Beginning with Darth Rema, who founded Quel'Thalas, the Sunseeker royal family has always ruled the world with the nobility.
However, in the eyes of future generations like Saljan, the sacrifices of the nobles who followed the Sunseeker family against the troll invasion were far less than those of the royal family, which should have been more revered.
This can be seen in the history of the change of the throne of Quel'Salas.
When the throne passed to Anastria...... That is, 3,000 years ago, he was already the fourth king of Quel'Thalas.
Based on the average lifespan of 3,000 years for the High Elves, this is obviously not normal.
When Sarean was a child, he was often ostracized by his peers because of his half-elf bloodline.
At that time, the dragon bloodline had not yet begun to awaken, and Sarian was not as irritable as he was in adolescence, and he was still very quiet, and he developed the habit of reading alone.
To this day, Saray remembers what he learned as a child.
He clearly read from Quel'Thalas's history books that except for Darth Rema, who was already young at the time of the founding of the country, the second and third Sun Kings died in battle to protect Quel'Thalas.
At the dawn of Quel'Thalas, the trolls of the forest weren't as stretched out as they were after the devastating blows of the Troll War.
Most of the Eastern Continent is the domain of forest trolls, including the Eternal Song Forest, which Quel'Thallas seized for the sake of his state.
Until Anastria's ascension to the throne and the defeat of the forest trolls by the rising Arathor Empire, the High Elves were on the defensive and at a disadvantage in the face of the forest trolls.
Azeroth has always had the custom of the king himself going to battle, and the death of a king is nothing new under extremely disadvantaged conditions.
However, Salian found a problem in the historical records, and he searched through the history books and found no record of the death of the head of the family of the founding nobles with the Sun King.
This is one of the reasons why Taranas Windranger was able to lead the Ranger Force to its rapid rise.
To put it bluntly, those former upper-level elf nobles hiding in Silver Moon City were too desperate to go to the battlefield to fight, which gave the "mud legs" in their eyes a chance to be crowned a nobleman by virtue of their military merits.
Meritorious officers, led by Taranas, were the first of Quel'Salas' honorable men.
Unlike the hereditary replacements of the founding nobles who relied on arcane heirlooms and were born in high positions, the military meritorious nobles could only fight on the battlefield to protect their titles.
Otherwise, the generations of demotion and raiding of the knighthood will sooner or later make the title passed down by the ancestors who have made desperate meritorious contributions cannot be reduced.
The Deepshadow family took an unexpected turn when it reached the generation of Verles and Julian.
Both Velles and Julian are gifted in the profession of a thief, which is very unpopular in High Elf society, and it is very difficult for a fragile thief to make a difference on the battlefield.
Thanks to Anastria's discernment and talent, with the two brothers Villeth and Julian as the core, he founded the secret intelligence agency directly under the Sunseeker royal family, the Backlight Blade, which gave the Deep Shadow family a new promotion path that was different from traditional military exploits.
…… Then when it came to Sarren's generation, the Deep Shadow family, which had already gained a foothold in the intelligence community, had "mutated" again.
Even Wellais didn't expect that his younger brother Julian actually fell in love with a giant dragon and left a love crystal.
The establishment of Backlight Blade has given new hope to many High Elves who only have the talent of thieves, and there are not a few people like Valera who have joined Backlight Blade as noble descendants.
However, Valeera's situation is actually quite special.
Although she was a member of the noble Sangunar family, she was not a direct descendant of the title.
Valera's ancestor, Refthera Sangunar, was a prominent arcanist who held important positions in the Council of Tirisfa.
It's just a pity that Lefsella's arcane talent was not passed on to future generations, and it was only after a generation that the once-famous Sangunar side was revived in an alternative way at the hands of Valeera.
The descendants of the Sangunar family still remain in the army to this day, and when Kael'thas ascended the throne, the contemporary Baron Sangunar was promoted to the rank of viscount.
Due to the well-known closeness between Salian and Valeera, the Sangunar family and the Deep Shadow family have always been close.
In the early years, under the care of Sarean, intentionally or unintentionally, the Sangunar family, who had relied on the winery business to support their family, made a decisive transformation and began to get involved in the breeding of military horses in Quel'Salas.
It was precisely because of the adjustment of the focus of the family business that Viscount Sangunar decisively changed to the new profession of paladin at that time.
Due to the quick and early enough transfer, as the Morning Forward Legion moved to the Quartet and made many achievements, Viscount Sangunar, who was Liadrin's deputy, was already a high-ranking officer in the legion.
There are many complicated reasons for the establishment of the Backlight Blade, but in any case, the Deep Shadow Family, led by Velles, does provide an alternative path to advancement for the nobles.
And the appearance of the Paladins and the Morning Striker Legion was completely planned by Saljan in advance, and this is another new promotion route.
In addition, there is also the High Elf Druyin system, which is also run by Sarjan.
Therefore, when Sarian boasted that he had a way to send the descendants of the nobles to the army for training, none of the nobles present expressed doubts.
Because he has long proved his "big words" with practical actions.
If you want to become a Ranger, you can join the Ranger Army, which has been run by the Windranger family for generations.
If you don't like restraint by nature and love freedom, you can also throw into Aurelia's Far Traveler to temper it first.
Whether you want to work as a paladin, a ranger, an arcane or even a drewn, with Sarean's current status and strong network, she can find the right path for them.
But as the so-called master leads the door, the cultivation is in everyone.
It's one thing to take you through the door, but whether you can persevere on this road depends on your personal creation.
Sarjan gave his promise at this closed-door meeting, which was entirely attended by nobles, and also explained the current political situation to these politically minded "mud-legged" nobles, so that they should not enter the game lightly and express their opinions.
"Mud legs...... Heh~"
After the distinguished delegates left satisfied, Valeera, who was leaning against the window, looked at the back of the group outside with emotion.
"In my opinion, these so-called mud-legged nobles are more worthy of friendship than those big nobles in Silvermoon City."
"Compared to the founding nobles who pondered their intrigues and calculations all day long, the nobles may lack political sensitivity, but at least they can listen to persuasion and not be pig teammates."
"Hah......" said Sarjan with a smirk, "whose credit do you think this is?" ”
"In the past, there were many pig brains and iron Hanhan among the nobles, if it hadn't been cleaned up a long time ago, there would have been three jumps of pigs with unrecognizable forms in this meeting."
"But fortunately, the work inside and outside has been worth it all these years."
Sarjan also walked to the window and stood side by side with Valeera: "There are no different voices within the small circle, at least I don't have to worry about them ruining Kael'thas and Anastria's fishing plans." ”
Stella Gosa thoughtfully tapped his fingers on his forehead and asked, "With such an obvious fishing strategy, will those founding nobles who are immersed in intrigues all day long really not be able to see it?" ”
"How is that possible?" Sarian sneered and explained, "Because of his personality, Kael'thas has never liked to use intrigues, and this fishing plan is actually a general trend. ”
"What if they know it's fishing? Now striving for innovation, Quel'Salas has made it clear that there is no room for those rice worms to lie down and enjoy the privileges. ”
"If they don't gamble again at this time, sooner or later they will be thoroughly cooked by the gradually rising water temperature, so it is better to just give it a go."
Onexia shrugged playfully and complained, "In the words you used to joke...... Won the young model of the club, lost and went to work in the sea? ”
Sarjan rolled his eyes angrily: "...... It's not rough, in short, we 'mud legs' just wait patiently to see a good show. ”
