The development of things was not beyond Saryan's expectation.
The Kingdom of Stormwind, which has been immersed in reconstruction in the past two years, has very few contacts with other countries. Except for the dwarves with superb construction skills, there are very few foreigners in the city, let alone the high elves from the far north of the continent.
Three very strange high elves walked around the city for a whole day, attracting the attention of many people.
The secretly observing MI7 has told King Varian of Stormwind Keep the news.
Varian Wrynn, born 10 years before the Dark Portal, has just turned 18 this year.
Five years ago, the 13-year-old Prince Varian watched his unsuspecting father, King Llane, being assassinated by the half-orc Garona.
This scene left a very deep impression on his young mind. To this day, he still cannot understand why Garona, who was chatting happily with her father, suddenly turned against her and stabbed her father's chest with a dagger without mercy.
In any case, the orcs captured Stormwind City, causing a large number of people to die in the war.
Varian has harbored an unforgettable hatred for the orcs ever since.
At the Alliance Spoils Conference after the Second War, when Terenas proposed establishing an orc asylum to repay evil with kindness, Varian actually wanted to follow the furious Daelin Proudmoore and jump out to oppose it.
But considering the care given to him by the Menethil family when he was living in Lordaeron, Varian suppressed his anger and unwillingness and praised Terenas's proposal that was full of "human brilliance".
Varian had been a grandson in Lordaeron for four full years. Terenas finally fulfilled his original promise and provided a large amount of loans to the Kingdom of Stormwind to help them return to the south to rebuild their kingdom.
But in fact, Terenas just wants the Kingdom of Stormwind to be the closest to the Dark Portal. Once the orcs invade again, the Kingdom of Stormwind will inevitably act as the brunt.
Yes, just like the first Orc War.
At that time, Terenas and other northern kings did not pay attention to the distress signal when they received it, which eventually led to the Kingdom of Stormwind falling under the iron heel of the orcs.
Now Terenas can pat his chest and guarantee that if something like this happens again, he will never stand idly by and will definitely send an army to support as soon as possible.
This was not Terenas' boast. When Ner'zhul ordered the death knights and Warsong clan to invade for the second time, Terenas immediately transferred his troops to Turalyon without saying a word.
Although in the end, Talon Bloodfiend played a trick to seize the opportunity and attack the west, but after all, it was not me, Lordaeron, who suffered the loss, and whoever was favored would be embarrassed.
What? You said that the person who had the artifact stolen was the friendly neighbor Dalaran, then...it's just a licking dog that can only open its mouth to ask for funds.
During this period, Dalaran was too close to Lordaeron, and due to the influence of geopolitics, it was difficult to disconnect from the most powerful human kingdom. Life was really undignified.
In the original history, Jaina was the direct disciple of Kirin Tor Speaker Antonidas. Daelin also reminded him repeatedly not to let his precious daughter get too close to the two fools Prince of Lordaeron, lest he be betrayed by Menai. The Hill family was wiped clean.
Once Jaina and Ernie give birth to a child, and the young prince of Kul Tiras, Tandre, "accidentally" encounters an accident, Lordaeron will gain a strong claim. You can guess that Terenas will How to operate.
However, even in this situation, Antonidas still pretended not to see it, turned a deaf ear to Daelin's earnest instructions, and happily sat back and watched as Jaina and the second fool got closer and closer, and even quietly pimped out behind his back.
Chancellor of the Kirin Tor? What kind of cows and horses are just kneeling beggars in front of me, Lordaeron.
The barrage didn't rate Antonidas very highly either.
[Antonidas may be very talented in arcane arts, but from his series of tricks, it can be seen that this guy is just a loser in politics, and will fall to whoever is stronger. 】
[So after taking power, Luo Ning will push for the absolute neutrality of Dalaran, raise the city of Dalaran into the sky, and completely decouple it from geopolitics. 】
[Compared with Ronin, Antonidas's performance was really poor. If he hadn't bravely accepted the responsibility for his own decision-making mistakes and died in the city in the end, the reputation of this stubborn old mage would have been even worse. 】
"Antonidas, ha~"
Sarlayan held a piece of letter paper exuding an elegant scent between the index fingers of his right hand, and said with a half-smile: "From the beginning, I didn't think that guy who only knew how to get along with each other and quarrel with each other could achieve much. .”
"I even suspect that Antonidas himself is a great humanist, and Modera is just his pawn and agent of will."
[That’s not to say, Antonidas is not bad, just plain stupid. 】
The letter in Sharlayan's hand was an invitation sent by someone from Stormwind Keep not long ago.
Anastria had already sent someone to contact the Wrynn royal family, and Varian, who learned of Sarlayan's identity, quickly sent him a banquet invitation in the evening three days later.
In order to rebuild their homeland, the nobles of the Kingdom of Stormwind have rolled up their sleeves and been busy for more than a year. They have long wanted to take a rest and enjoy a leisurely life.
No matter how sour or harsh their mouths are, most humans will unconsciously put themselves in a lower position when they come into contact with high elves who are extremely good-looking and powerful.
Human nobles are proud to marry high elf wives and gain high elf friends.
Knowing that the rebuilt Stormwind City was rarely visited by high elf nobles, the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom hurriedly came to propose to Varian, hoping to take this opportunity to hold a banquet to entertain the distinguished guests and "by the way" reward them for their hard work. A senior member of the kingdom for more than a year.
At this period, Varian was far from the High King of the Alliance as the barrage said.
Because his father Ryan died so suddenly, many emperors had not yet had time to teach him their mental skills.
Fortunately, Terenas provided Varian with some relevant education, otherwise this young king, who is only 18 years old and seriously lacks experience in governing the country, would be led by the nose by those scheming nobles.
Even so, Varian is still very immature in his governance skills.
From the bottom of his heart, the pragmatic Varian did not want to hold an extravagant banquet at this point in time when the kingdom's reconstruction was not yet complete.
However, a large number of nobles came to visit one after another, and Varian, who was inexperienced, subconsciously thought that he was trying to make trouble.
After wavering and hesitating for a long time, he finally accepted the nobles' suggestion and sent a formal banquet invitation to Sarlayan.
The nobles of Stormwind City all live near Stormwind Fortress. At this time, many nobles came to a luxurious mansion for a gathering.
The host of this private gathering was a very noble and beautiful young woman. She looked very young in appearance, but her temperament was very calm, making it impossible to confirm her specific age.
The woman was wearing a black low-cut dress, with a large area of snow-white back skin exposed, and her jet-black hair spread over her bare shoulders. The black and white tones formed a sharp contrast.
Her alluring eyes like black pearls were full of smiles. Her slender hands wearing dark purple gloves held a glass of red wine, and she lazily raised the glass to the noble in front of her.
The old nobleman with gray beard also raised his glass in return and said with emotion: "Ms. Presto, it is indeed what you said."
"Our King is still very immature and severely lacks experience in governing the country. He cannot do without the help of us ministers."
"Haha~"
The beautiful lady known as Ms. Presto raised a reserved smile on her lips: "I just mentioned it casually. I can only use words and can't compare with your hard work."
Every move of this black-haired woman was full of infinite charm. When she talked about her words, most of the male nobles present subconsciously focused their attention on her flaming red lips.
"Ms. Presto, is your brother okay?"
"Ms. Presto, may I have the honor of inviting you to dance with me at the banquet in three days' time?"
"Ms. Presto..."
There is no doubt that this moderately advanced host is the center of the entire banquet. Even the female nobles cannot be jealous of her, only the natural pursuit of beauty is left.
"Huh~"
After smoothly sending away the last stalking noble, Ms. Presto, who was good at dancing, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her originally smiling eyes gradually turned cold.
"The high elf nobles... why did they come to Stormwind City, which has not yet been rebuilt, at this time?"
"Could it be because Turayan conscripted an expeditionary force?"
