After Sharlayan rushed back to Unicorn Town after a long journey, he first went to the office to report to Valeera, Stellagosa and others that he was safe.
At almost the same time, the news that Lordaeron agreed to peace talks with Alterac was sent back to Quel'Thalas through Daniel's message, but Alterac, as the country involved, has not received the news yet. .
Kael'thas urgently summoned senior cabinet officials and began to discuss what role Quel'Thalas should play in this peace negotiation.
Sarlayan, who was slightly tired, could not rest at home for long.
As an insider of the reason for Lordaeron's change of attitude, he had to rush to Silvermoon City immediately to attend this emergency meeting.
After opening the portal to send Sharlayan away, Little Star sighed dejectedly.
"It's not an option for Sharlayan to be busy from dawn to dusk. After hearing that, he will rush to Kalimdor to meet Aegwynn?"
Valeera smiled bitterly and nodded: "I have advised him many times not to arrange so many arduous tasks for himself, but... you also know his temper."
Stella Gosa rubbed her brows with a headache: "It's really hard to persuade that stubborn temper. Let's change our thinking."
"Except for the tasks that must be performed by him himself, we try to help him take some of the burden off."
"Us?" Valeera asked hesitantly: "If you, the chief secretary, leave, what will happen to the territory's affairs?"
Stella Gosa said with a smile: "I have been prepared for a long time. I have trained a group of assistants since last year. I can't always be tied to the territory and work stupidly."
There is one thing to say, excluding Onyxia, who is already an adult dragon, Stellagosa is the highest level among the three-person team.
Sarlayan's progress is very fast, but because he divides the experience gained equally between warriors and Thornspeakers, his warrior level is not improved as fast as Stellagosa, who is focused.
It is undoubtedly a bit unfair to tie Stellagosa to the territory to do clerical duties.
Sarlayan had received advice from Little Star before, encouraging her to select and train a group of capable and trustworthy secretaries, thus freeing Stellagosa from the heavy clerical work.
The Earldom of Deep Shadow has developed to this day, and many daily management matters no longer need to be watched by Sarlayan as the lord all day long.
He only needs to make decisions on major matters, and the middle and low-level officials below will complete his orders.
In Sharlayan's absence, it fell to Valeera and Stellagosa to lead the development of the realm.
Onyxia? Thank God that the violent fun-loving person didn't cause trouble. Sarlayan never expected her to put forward any constructive suggestions for the development of the territory.
Of course, this is not to say that Onyxia's management skills are poor.
On the contrary, Onyxia in the original history was able to stir up troubles in the Kingdom of Stormwind, even causing King Varian to disappear and split without even knowing it, and bewitching Duke Bolvar Fordragon. , her wrist can be seen from this.
However, having the ability does not mean that she will wholeheartedly use it for the right path.
The Black Dragon Princess is essentially a fun-loving person who fears that the world will be in chaos. Let her make decisions as the acting leader of the territory... Sarlayan is worried that this guy will make some ridiculous decisions out of his own interests.
Moreover, Onyxia in this timeline is not the evil black dragon princess in the barrage cognition.
Before Onyxia really started to do evil, she was lucky enough to meet Sharlayan, and through the black dragon Dragon Queen Sinestra, she was rescued from the dead road to "Send".
Today, Onyxia still likes to have fun, but following Sharlayan and others for a long time, she has learned some bottom lines and knows that there are some things that can be done and some things that should not be done.
Sarlayan didn't expect much help from Onyxia, but Stellagosa, who had been in charge of the territory's internal affairs recently, could see some clues.
Onyxia has been promoting the entertainment industry in the territory in her own way... although on the surface it seems that she is just having fun.
When Onyxia learned the news of Sarlayan's return and hurried back, she was quite depressed to learn that Sarlayan had set off non-stop to Silvermoon City to attend a meeting.
After hearing about the plan to reduce Sharlayan's burden from Stellagosa, Onyxia also became interested.
The three giants, plus Tina Gosa who was watching the excitement, the four of them quietly hid in Sarlayan's office and discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a preliminary plan.
…
Sarlayan still had no idea what her girls were thinking.
After learning Terenas' true physical condition and mental state from his mouth, Kael'thas felt a little sad.
"Terenas in his early years was indeed worthy of being praised as wise. The victory in the Second Orc War became a turning point in his life."
"From the high-spirited leader of the alliance just after the victory of the war to the frail and sick man who has betrayed his relatives and abandoned his family, such a big change has occurred in just six years. I must also take warning."
Kael'thas' emotion didn't last long, and Darkan, who held the title of chief civil officer, quickly brought the topic back.
"Ahem~ His Majesty's self-reflection is impressive, but for now let's get back to the topic."
After the Silver Moon Parliament was reorganized into a cabinet, the originally extremely limited number of members has continued to expand.
But now they are no longer called MPs, they are called cabinet ministers.
As the chief civil servant, Darkan is the prime minister of the cabinet and should be the first civil servant in charge of cabinet affairs.
However, due to issues left over from history, the prime minister is a polished commander with little real power. His daily job is to drink tea and read newspapers.
After six years of retirement as a veteran cadre, Darkan began to feel a little restless no matter how good he was at cultivating qi.
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the new government of Quel'Thalas, the division of labor in the cabinet has become more and more detailed, and the number of cabinet ministers has also increased. Many capable people who were originally unwilling to follow the opposition and the royal family were recruited. of declining aristocratic officials.
Recently, Darkan has been secretly trying to win over allies in the increasingly expanded cabinet. Although the results have not been great, his sudden change of attitude has aroused the vigilance of the Backlight Blade thieves who are monitoring him.
But Kael'thas thought this was a good thing, at least he was finally moving.
What Kael'thas was worried about wasn't that Dar'Kan had desires. He was more worried that Dar'Kan had not made any move and always showed a lack of desire.
Having desire means that he will have weaknesses that can be exploited.
With the intensity with which Darkan was monitored, every move he made was watched by the thieves under Velas.
Darkan himself knew this very well. He clearly took this opportunity to tell Kael'thas - I am going to come out again, but I will act within the rules you set and will not overturn the table if I disagree with him.
To this day, Darkan still holds many connections and resources left over from the old nobles.
The centipede is dead but not stiff.
Even though most of the old nobles have gradually declined under the pressure of Anastria, they still retain some of their heritage. No one knows how much harm these heritages will cause to Quel'Thalas when they explode.
It is for this reason that Anasteria and Kael'thas have never dared to push Dar'Kan over the wall.
At least today's Quel'Thalas can't afford the consequences of Dar'Kan turning over the table regardless.
Dar'Kan saw Kael'thas' idea of restricting the privileges of the nobility and promoting social vitality by promoting common people.
To be fair, although Kael'thas' move will undoubtedly harm the interests of most nobles, in the long run, these decisions will undoubtedly be beneficial to Quel'Thalas.
Darkan is ambitious and always wants to usurp the royal power to expand his own power, but his ability cannot be denied even by the old king Anasteria.
Many nobles only saw the immediate gains and losses, believing that they had suffered losses during the vigorous reforms of Quel'Thalas, and would suffer even greater losses due to the deepening of education reforms in the future.
Darkan doesn't think so.
Indeed, from the perspective of short-term interests, the nobles will undoubtedly take the lead in making sacrifices during the reform.
In Dar'Kan's words, Kael'thas' long-term plan is to make Quel'Thalas a bigger piece of cake.
Although part of the bigger cake needs to be given to the common people who were looked down upon by the nobles in the past, if the full reform is really completed, the share of benefits that the nobles will get will not be less than when they were complacent before.
Seeing that the number of cabinet ministers is increasing, Quel'Thalas's development prospects are getting brighter, and he can vaguely see the precursors of a prosperous age. Dar'kan can no longer stay out of it. He also wants to be a member of the founders of the prosperous age. Qingshi.
Under Sarlayan's somewhat surprised gaze, Darkan effectively fulfilled his responsibilities as the chief civil minister and presided over the meeting in a sophisticated and steady manner. Kael'thas seemed to have no objection to this.
'what's the situation? I've only been away for more than two months, and things have changed in Quel'Thalas? '
