Sarlayan went to Dalaran this time to fulfill his promise and came to pick up Jaina to take a boat to Boralus and cross the sea to the continent of Kalimdor.
Because he had to teach Princess Calia to open her eyes and see the world, which fundamentally changed her outlook on the overall situation, Sharlayan lurked in the Palace of Lordaeron longer than expected.
When he finally completed his mission and returned to Quel'Thalas, Merry Winterwind had already reactivated the Temple of the Keeper, which had been idle for many years.
However, at this time, the Parliament of Tirisfal was just an empty shell, with only Merry as its polished commander.
Dalaran and Quel'Thalas promised to fill the council with ordinary members, but the most important core members needed to be invited by Merry personally, and the first one to bear the brunt was the former guardian Aegwynn.
After accidentally killing Cassanatir's soul, Merry no longer had a high-priority research topic, so he simply put aside the further modification of Trollbane's battle ax for the time being and rushed to the continent of Kalimdor to do business. .
Merry's return alarmed many high-level officials in Dalaran, including Antonidas. The Kirin Tor councilors took the initiative to visit the Guardian Temple one after another to ask Merry about the bottlenecks they encountered in their research projects.
Sharlayan suspected that one of the reasons why Merry set off in a hurry was to avoid the Dalaran senior officials who came to ask for advice.
Before setting off from Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan finally learned about the plan discussed by Valeera, Stellagosa and others.
They asked Sarlayan to record the things he currently had to do on the table one by one, and sort them from top to bottom according to the priority of the situation. The higher the priority, the higher the priority.
The most important thing in Quel'Thalas right now is to successfully host the peace talks between Lordaeron and Alterac. However, Sharlayan no longer needs to intervene in this matter. The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who are gearing up are the ones responsible for the peace talks. main character.
Going down the list, the priorities of welcoming Aegwynn back to rebuild the Tirisfal Council and assisting Kel'Thuzad in breaking into the Scourge are very high.
In addition, there are such things as multinational academic exchanges, searching for Bwonsamdi, secretly establishing contact with the Dark Iron dwarves through the filial daughter Moira, finding soul steel materials for Valeera, cooperating with the Steamwheedle Consortium, supporting the Darkspear clan, Continue to mine artifacts and other relatively low-priority matters.
For academic exchanges, Sarlayan only needs to use his connections in Dalaran to deliver a message, and then other professional officials will naturally be responsible for follow-up communication.
What really requires Sarlayan to follow up personally are the two highest-priority tasks.
Moreover, Kel'Thuzad only needed Sharlayan to check in when he first received Ner'zhul's invitation, just in case.
After he gained a stable position within the Scourge, he did not need to report the situation at any time. He would only quietly send a message to Xin Shandara when it was important. Only when the situation was too serious would he tell Sarlayan to go and handle it personally.
Valeera and Stellagosa discussed it. Considering Sarlayan's innate passive ability that easily offends little girls, except for special circumstances when he must act alone, he must have at least one person following him at all times.
For example, right now, those following Sarlayan are Onyxia and Tinargosa.
The reason why they wanted to add one more person was because Valeera and Stellagosa were worried about Oni and were worried that this guy was hiding from others, so they could only add Tinagosa, who was as big as a brat.
Onyxia is not as guarded against Jaina as Valeera and Stellagosa are.
As long as this girl's behavior does not cross the warning line set by Oni, she will not keep staring at him for nothing.
Tinagosa, who was on a mission, was sitting on Sharlayan's right shoulder as always, which to a certain extent made it more difficult for Jaina to stay close to Sharlayan.
Jaina was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but the person standing in the middle was a friend with whom she had always had a good relationship, so she couldn't say much.
Jaina is not stupid, but very smart.
Although Tinar Gosa said nothing, she was still joking and joking with Jaina, but Jaina knew that she must have her sister's instructions not to let herself get too close to Sharlayan.
When Sharlayan set off for Dalaran, Valeera and Stellagosa also tentatively handed over the territorial affairs to the Secretariat Group.
Just in case, Valeela also asked Alyssa, who was taking care of her baby at home, to pay attention to the dynamics of the territory when she had time, and to inform Welles as soon as she discovered the problem, so that he could solve the problem.
A noble lady from a privileged family like Alyssa does not have to take care of her children all the time like poor families. The nannies and wet nurses hired by Welles will take turns.
This also gives Alyssa more time to do other things without having to be tied to the house to take care of the baby all the time.
After explaining the affairs of the territory, Valeera and Stellagosa set off together, heading to Boralus ahead of Sharlayan.
The two of them will not cross the sea, but take a boat all the way south to Stranglethorn Vale.
Each of them has a mission during this trip.
Valeera, who is more eloquent, is responsible for negotiating with representatives of the Steamwheedle Consortium to discuss the preliminary cooperation between the Marquis of Deep Shadow and the Steamwheedle Consortium.
Stellagosa, who was more thoughtful, went to the Darkspear station to help Sen'jin, who was facing an enemy attack, get out of trouble.
Distributing people to handle things can effectively reduce the intensity of Sarlayan's work, but in the future, except for those who are on duty as guards, the time for others to meet Sarlayan will inevitably be reduced.
Valeela and Stellagosa both believed that this situation was only temporary, and that Sharlayan could not have so many things to deal with.
Even if there is, Chief Secretary Stella Gosa will make plans as much as possible and assign less important tasks to the Backlight Blade and the Intelligence Bureau.
Sarlayan was a little worried about Stellagosa and Valeela's proposal at first, but Barrage stood up and advised him not to catch everything, and even used a man named Zhuge Liang as a negative example.
[Zhuge Liang was the dominant military and political leader in the middle period of the Shu Kingdom. His reason was that others could not handle the many complicated affairs in an all-round way. 】
[When Zhuge Liang was still here, he did rely on his dedicated and dedicated efforts to manage the affairs of Shu in an orderly manner, but the final result was not ideal. 】
[Because Zhuge Liang held on to power for a long time, the people below could not get enough training and failed to grow to the height they should have reached. 】
[After Zhuge Liang's death, the problem of talent training in the Shu Kingdom broke out all at once, resulting in the Shu Kingdom in the later period being unable to produce any decent outstanding people at all. 】
[There are no generals in Shu, so Liao Hua became the vanguard. What a helpless choice it was. You must know that Liao Hua was already over 70 years old at that time. 】
[Xiao Sa, you can't take everything into your own hands, you still have to divide your work to help others in Quel'Thalas develop their abilities. 】
[It’s not scary for young people to make small mistakes, as long as they can learn lessons and correct them. 】
[The scary thing is that people who have never been trained will directly create a big trap for you due to lack of experience when trying to catch up in the future. 】
Sarlayan is a bit stubborn on some things, but he's not someone who can't listen to advice.
If one person tries to persuade someone, it can be said that the other person is wrong, but if several or even dozens of people try to persuade him together, Sarlayan will begin to wonder if he is wrong.
Under the dual persuasion of the barrage and his confidante, Sarlayan finally softened his attitude and decided to try to let others handle some things first, and see the results first before considering whether to stay in this way of doing things.
Sarlayan did not plan to stay in Dalaran for long. After picking up Jaina and chatting with Ronin for a few words, he planned to set off again to teleport to Boralus.
But at this time, the news that Kel'Thuzad was missing in the sea was sent to Quel'Thalas by Fandral Staghelm, and after two transits, it reached Sarlayan's ears.
"Do not care."
Sarlayan angrily complained to the Backlight Blade intelligence source who delivered the news: "Have you heard that the undead will drown in the water? Even if Kel'Thuzad can't swim, he can walk on the beach of Borean Tundra from the bottom of the sea. .”
Onyxia touched her chin and added: "The only thing we need to worry about is Naga. I hope Kel'Thuzad will not be captured by those fishtails fighting at home."
Sarlayan lowered his head and pondered: "Probably not. At this point in time, undead are still a new thing to most races in Azeroth."
"A lich without any life fluctuations is walking on the bottom of the sea. Without any targeted arrangements in advance, I don't think Naga will discover the existence of Kel'Thuzad."
Onyxia shrugged noncommittally: "I guess so, but it's best to make some preparations in advance to prevent problems."
Sarlayan nodded his head obediently, turned to the thousands of backlight blade thieves who had passed on the information and ordered: "Send a message to Fandral in my name and ask him to send people to stay near the coastline."
"As soon as there is any movement in the sea, immediately entrust the Hydasia Water Elemental to dive into the sea and fish for people."
"yes!"
