Chapter 1528: The Origin of the Freshman Shadow Council
The deliberate gag by Sarren and Ronin dilutes the tension in Tess's heart.
With the current fame and status of the Deep Shadow family, as well as the personal relationship between Sarren and Ronin, there is no need to woo Tess for political reasons.
As a royal princess, Tess has received a lot of political education since she was a child, and inevitably thinks a little too much.
Salain proved to her that Valilla did not have any political considerations for taking her apprentice, but simply love.
Although Ronin was a little unhappy that he had been demoted in front of Salaan in disguise, he was also glad that his little wife could worship the demigod thief of Valera.
With the friendship between Ronin and Sarren, who have known each other for many years, they really don't need other additional ways to continue to get closer.
But on the other hand, although Tess is married, she is still a member of the Greymane family, and the Kingdom of Gilneth should be able to take this opportunity to get closer to Quel'Thalas.
Quel'Salas had offered an olive branch to Gilneth many years earlier, but the Kyrgyzstan were still isolating under King Jean, ignoring the good intentions of Anastria, the Sun King at the time.
Time passed, and the old king Jean felt the drastic changes of the times and his own aging year after year, and took the initiative to transfer the power and responsibility of managing the kingdom to Crown Prince Liam little by little.
Although the Zen ceremony has not yet been officially completed, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the person who is now the butler of Gilneth is already Prince Liam.
Unlike his stubborn father, Prince Liam has always wanted to make Gilneth more open and inclusive, and embrace the world with open arms again.
With this opportunity to close diplomatic relations with Quel'Thalas, with Ronin's knowledge of Liam, he will certainly not let it go easily.
Sarayan didn't have any special feelings about this, he didn't need to ask about diplomatic dealings with other countries, and the foreign secretary of the cabinet, Carbonia, had always done a good job.
Ascended from Kael'thas ...... No, to be precise, it was at the end of Anasria's reign that Quel'Salas changed his previous conservatism and reopened the country, which had been closed for many years.
For Kael'thas, who is vigorously promoting multilateral cooperation, Gilneth is willing to take the initiative to approach, and he certainly can't ask for it.
Valeera's acceptance of Tess as an apprentice is undoubtedly a win-win for Dalaran, Gilneth and Quel'Thalas.
The only one who is more depressed is Luo Ning himself.
From a personal point of view, Ronin is reluctant to leave Quel'Salas with his newlywed wife, but he also knows that this is a learning process that Tess must go through.
With a bitter nod of agreement, the question about Tess ended for the time being.
"Valeera, this orc you sent back is indeed a big fish."
Sarjan's left hand grabbed in front of the forehead of the orc, who was still unconscious, and a formless energy substance flowed into his hand.
"This guy is really a remnant of the Shadow Council, to be exact, one of the members of the nascent Shadow Council."
"The Freshman Shadow Council?"
Except for Stella Gousa, who was still in the Guardian Temple, and the others who were present frowned in unison.
Khadgar touched his chin thoughtfully, "In the years I was trapped in Draenor, I heard from many sources about the notorious warlock organization of the Shadow Council. ”
"But as far as I know, with Gul'dan's death, the Shadow Council has long since died in name only."
"The remaining members of the Shadow Council are like rats crossing the street, not daring to brazenly raise their banners."
"With the death of Talon Bloodfiend and Gilseda and other remnant high-ranking leaders in your hands one after another, the Shadow Council of Draenor is now considered to be substantially destroyed, and what the hell is this nascent Shadow Council?"
Sarean shared some of the information he had extracted from the orc sorcerer's soul with Khadgar and the others.
"Quite simply, freshman is literal."
Sarjan sneered and kicked the unconscious orc warlock in the chin, "As you know, to this day, there are still quite a few diehards of the old tribe who are unwilling to submit to the rule of the Gouyle. ”
"They are hell-bent on restoring the glory of the old Horde and fulfilling Orgrim's unfulfilled ambition of conquering Azeroth."
"Phew!"
The hot-tempered Luo Ning angrily snorted on the spot: "Just rely on the little bit of lost dogs left in the old tribe? Who gave them courage? ”
Sarena shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Maybe it's Liang Jingru...... But it doesn't matter. ”
Saljan retrieved a map of Azeroth from the spatial package and spread it out on the table with Valeera's assistance.
"According to the information found by the Backlight Blade, the diehards of the old tribe can be roughly divided into three forces."
"One......" Sarian nodded his finger at the Norduron region of the Eastern Kingdom, "It's the Dragonthroat Clan." ”
"However, because of the battle of Noseron not long ago, the Dragonthroat Clan suffered a great loss of vitality, and had to flee to Kalimdor by ship to join the new tribe of Goyle, and there was no wave in a short time."
"The second is the Blackstone Clan that sits in the Blackstone Tower...... To be precise, it is the Blacktooth Clan under the management of Red Black Hand and Maim Black Hand, a subordinate branch of the Blackstone Clan. ”
The true Blackstone clan has always been run by the Grand Chief Orgrim, and after finding Gouyle, he passed on his mantle to his old friend's only son, who had finally grown up after his ordeal.
Therefore, the Blackstone Clan under Red and Maim is only self-proclaimed, and is essentially the Blacktooth Clan.
"The Blacktooth clan that settled in the Blackstone Tower became Nefarian many years ago...... No, a slave of the fallen Black Dragons, to be exact. ”
Luo Ning interrupted Sarren's explanation with a slight brow: "Wait a minute, why do you want to separate the Black Dragon Prince from the Fallen Black Dragon?" ”
Salian shrugged, "It's easy, because Nefarian has already made it clear that the chariot and horse have come to us. ”
"Although the Blackstone Tower is still nominally in his name, it is in fact completely controlled by the fallen black dragons sent by Deathwing to 'assist' Nefarian in managing the clan."
"Nefarian's true lineage in the Blackstone Tower has long been secretly transferred by him to the Blackwing Blood Ring at the top of Blackstone Mountain, and the so-called Blackwing Nest is just a bait he threw out to attract attention."
Luo Ning nodded thoughtfully: "I probably understand, you continue." ”
"The remnants of the third old tribe ......" Sarjan nodded on the city of Orgrimmar in Durontar with a deep gaze, "It's inside the new tribe." ”
"Huh?"
Khadgar scratched his head in amazement: "You're not kidding? Gouyle isn't the kind of scrap leader who gets to be laid eggs, is he? Will he sit back and watch the remnants of the old tribe grow up in the new tribe? ”
"Of course not." Sarean calmly continued, "In fact, Gouyle has been trying to weaken the orc diehards hiding within the new tribe. ”
"But freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and trying to change their outdated mindset is not an easy job."
"Many orcs who still want to follow the 'tradition' think that Gouyle's style of acting is too weak, and secretly gather together to keep warm."
"This orc ......" Sarian raised his hand to the stunned green-skinned orc warlock, "He's one of them, a diehard warlock from the Fireblade Clan." ”
"Fire Blade ......"
Valera asked thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, Fireblade is also a big clan of orcs, and they have always been famous for cultivating 'Sword Masters', right?" ”
Salian nodded approvingly, "That's right, the Sword Saint Samuro we first met in the Battle of Quel'Salas is a member of the Fireblade Clan. ”
"The Fireblade Sword Saint was once the yearning and dream of countless orcs, and if you want to become a Sword Saint, you must have a noble will and strong combat power."
"However, with the entire orc clan drinking the blood of demons, the noble will that the sword saints of the past generations have long been defiled, and they have lost the sacredness they once had."
Sarjan tapped his finger twice on Orgrimmar's location: "After the end of the Second Orc War, the Fireblade Clan was split in two. ”
"Some of the Fireblade Orcs who still aspired to the noble path of the Sword Master followed Samuro and Lantreso back to Draenor, and then Lantreso parted ways with Samuro, who was determined to reorganize the Fireblade Clan."
"Half-Draenei, Lanterisol has raised a clan of ogres of his own, and they still live peacefully in the vast savannahs of Nagrand."
"As for Samuro's whereabouts, I haven't received any clues about it yet."
"Leaving aside Samuro, another group of completely depraved Fireblade Orcs will remain in Azeroth under the leadership of Azuka."
"The so-called Nascent Shadow Council was founded at the initiative of the Fireblade Clan led by Azuka, and these guys are now hiding in an underground cavern called the Flame Rift in Orgrim City."
"They are plotting to overthrow the 'rule of weakness' of the Goyle, trying to bring the orc tribe back to the wildness and ambition of the old horde."
