Sarlayan: "I can sneak. It's not that easy for those who are not prepared in advance to catch me."
The little white cat arched its back and was ready to launch. At this time, the footsteps outside the hall could be clearly heard.
'Prepare. '
After signaling to Calia with his eyes, Saraian listened attentively to the two rhythmic footsteps approaching the study door.
Before the two men knocked on the door, Calia walked out of the study and met the two inspectors who were about to walk to the door.
As Calia said, the two priests and mages responsible for inspecting the harem were both women and looked quite young.
At this juncture, Sarlayan was in no mood to judge their looks and age.
'It's now! '
Before the two people reached the door, they turned their attention to Calia. The little white cat turned into a white shadow and squeezed out of the study window that was opened a thin crack.
"Um?"
The slight sound of a window being squeezed open caught the attention of the two inspectors.
"Princess Calia, is there anyone else in your study?"
Calia's heart tightened, but she smiled and shook her head: "No, it must have been the wind that blew the window open."
No one except Princess Calia's two personal maids knew of the existence of Sarlayan, a small white cat.
And these two maids are Calia's confidants. They are very strict and will not talk nonsense.
The two inspectors did not delve deeper. After all, they could not imagine that someone could break into the palace barrier that had been reinforced several times without permission.
The little white cat sneaked out of Calia's palace and immediately sped up, bypassing the prosecutors along the way, and hid in a remote palace off the beaten path.
After confirming that there was no one around, Sarlayan transformed into a raven form again, grabbed the letter with Calia's magic power and took off.
Originally, Sharlayan planned to say hello to the head of the intelligence agency lurking in the King's City of Lordaeron and then return to Quel'Thalas. However, when he spread his wings and flew near the stronghold in the civilian area of the King's City, he unexpectedly discovered that something was wrong. Something is wrong.
This stronghold was handed over to the Defense Intelligence Agency by the Backlight Blade. It was a daily grocery store opened by the local people of Lordaeron in the royal city.
The boss and his wife are both in their 40s. They were absorbed by the Backlight Blade as peripheral members of the organization more than ten years ago. They have been providing Quel'Thalas with first-hand intelligence from Lordaeron for many years.
The couple had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son and the second son were both admitted to the Royal Academy of Magic in Quel'Thalas for further studies due to their merit, and they announced that they were going to Quel'Thalas to expand business.
The 10-year-old daughter and the 1-year-old son stayed in the store to live with their parents. The family's life was very stable...at least that's how it seemed on the surface.
When Sarlayan returned to the grocery store, he unexpectedly found several officials from Lordaeron interrogating the two couples with grimaces on their faces.
Sensing something was wrong, Sarlayan immediately let go of his perception.
As expected, there were no more intelligence bureau thieves in the stronghold.
'coincide? Or was someone exposed? '
Judging from the demeanor of the couple, the situation does not seem too serious.
The hostess was still holding her young son in her arms, and the male host was also holding his daughter, who had an uneasy look on his face, and did not let Quel'Thalas' intelligence officers send them away.
The stronghold was temporarily unsuitable for settlement, so Sarlayan simply changed direction and flew out of the city.
When Onyxia lurked into Lordaeron before, based on her professional knowledge and experience, she deliberately established a backup temporary stronghold in the town of Brill on the outskirts of the city.
After arriving in Brill Town, Sarlayan finally found the Intelligence Bureau thieves who had disappeared without a trace from the city.
"Daniel, report the situation. Has anyone been exposed?"
Sneaking into the basement of a tavern, Sarlayan immediately appeared and asked questions to the thieves who were gathering around to discuss things.
The leader of the thieves, Daniel Hunter, was originally a member of the Backlight Blade. When the Defense Intelligence Agency was established, he voluntarily transferred his affiliation and was appointed as the person in charge of the Intelligence Agency in the Royal City of Lordaeron.
Daniel shook his head: "No, it's just that Terenas suddenly went crazy."
"Oh?" Sarlayan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tell me in detail."
Daniel shrugged: "I heard that Terenas was furious during today's court meeting. Not long after the meeting, he ordered the thieves from Lordaeron's Intelligence Department to closely investigate the 'rats' planted by various countries in the royal city."
"Strict investigation...after the court meeting? Ha~ So that's what happened."
The corner of Sarlayan's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.
"It's just cramming now, don't you think it's too late?"
Daniel asked in confusion: "My lord, do you know some inside story?"
"So be it."
Sarlayan retracted his unnecessary expression and said sternly to Daniel and others: "In today's court meeting, Princess Calia, who has never expressed her opinion, stood up for the first time and stood clearly on the side of the Lord and the Harmony Faction. She directly The peace talks have been finalized.”
"For Terenas, Princess Calia's change was a bit too sudden. He might suspect that someone is secretly encouraging his daughter... although in fact this is indeed the case."
Daniel looked astonished: "What do you mean by this...could it be?"
To be on the safe side, Sarlayan did not tell members of the Intelligence Agency, including Daniel, about sneaking into the Palace of Lordaeron.
Now that he has escaped from the palace, there is no need to continue hiding it from them.
"As you guessed, I must have been hiding in Princess Calia's palace for more than half a month."
"Wow~"
Quel'Thalas has always adhered to liberalism, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not rigid during non-mission periods.
After learning that Sarlayan had been lurking in Princess Calia's palace for more than half a month, many people whistled on the spot, with meaningful expressions on their faces.
Sarlayan complained angrily: "Put away your associations. In order not to reveal my whereabouts, I have remained in animal form during this period. Nothing like what you imagined happened."
The thieves just made jokes to ease the atmosphere when they were nervous, and laughed at Sarlayan's explanation without delving into the authenticity of this statement.
Daniel did not participate in the booing of his men. He dragged his chin with one hand and thought: "Is Princess Calia going to be okay? She is the most senior insider we can win over."
Sarlayan shook his head: "Before I left the palace, Calia was called over by Terenas and scolded, but it was harmless."
"After this face-to-face refutation incident, Terenas's influence is clearly declining. Coupled with his physical problems, Terenas will not be in power for too long."
"The next year will be the focus, you all listen to me."
Sarlayan said to the elite intelligence personnel present with a serious expression: "If my prediction is not wrong, in the next year, Lordaeron will fall into more serious internal turmoil due to the dispute over the reserve."
"During this precious period, the Central Intelligence Agency will issue new instructions to you at any time to ensure the smooth flow of the intelligence network."
"If time is too urgent and there is no time to report... Daniel, His Majesty Kael'thas has granted you the power to make decisions on the spur of the moment. Timeliness is the priority in everything, but you must carefully consider the pros and cons before making a decision."
"Remember, all your decisions represent the Sun King and our homeland Quel'Thalas."
Daniel's expression suddenly became solemn, and he bowed respectfully in the direction of Yonge Forest.
"Daniel Hunter Moon will bear this in mind, and I would like to thank His Majesty the Sun King for his trust."
After explaining the follow-up matters, Sarlayan walked out of the portal with the assistance of the mage from the Intelligence Bureau.
Watching Sarlayan's back disappear through the door, one of the intelligence officers said with emotion: "The battle for the reserve...Fortunately, His Majesty Kael'thas has no brothers and sisters, so we don't have to worry about this problem."
Another person shook his head: "It is not necessarily a good thing to pass on a single lineage, just in case... In short, there are pros and cons to spreading the branches."
"Okay, guys."
Daniel clapped his hands to signal others to quiet down: "You have all heard that in the next year, our tasks will be very heavy. Everyone must be very alert and must not betray His Majesty's trust!"
"yes!"
Daniel suppressed the excitement in his heart, walked out of the underground secret room, came to the first-floor window of the single-family house, and looked up towards the direction of the Royal City of Lordaeron.
"Lordaeron, which has been static for a long time, is finally going to get windy. I don't know who will have the last laugh under this strong wind."
