In addition to Sharlayan, who is mainly responsible for important events across Azeroth, Kael'thas also has several old kings left to his henchmen.
The current Finance Minister Solanlian Morningstar, who was born in the four noble families, is one of them.
After all, this was the first time that Yinasi used her privilege as a supernatural creature to make an exception. Out of his trust in Sharlayan, Kael'thas did not think that his mother would act recklessly.
But after all, Kael'thas didn't know Yinas as well as Anasteria. Just in case, he ordered Solanlian to follow quietly to check the situation and show up again to clean up the mess if necessary.
Kael'thas didn't think that Solanlian's actions could be hidden from the powerful adult dragon from the beginning, and he warned her in advance.
Once discovered by Yin Nasi, he would simply come out and explain clearly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Compared with the eloquent Calpurnia, Solanlian's personality is relatively reserved. Many people's initial impression of her is that she is taciturn and difficult to communicate with.
Through the stories Onyxia told on the shores of Lake Luna, Sarlayan and others learned the stories of the ancestors of the Morningstar family. At that time, Sarlayan suspected that Solanlian was also a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Due to the different areas they are responsible for, Sarlayan rarely has the opportunity to cooperate with Solanlian and does not understand her true character.
After returning from the Emerald Dream, Sarlayan left at home the ancient coin of the Dark Night Empire that they fished out of Luna Lake.
When she saw Solanlian walking out of the dark with a cold expression, Yin Nasi remembered this incident.
"The Sun King asked you to wipe my butt, right?"
Yin Nasi smiled at Solanli'an indifferently, raised her hand and threw the dark green dream demon power crystal to Solanli'an.
"Then, this is the evidence you want. With it, Darkan can be formally convicted."
"... Of course, this is just an afterthought. After all, everyone is gone."
Solanli steadily caught the dream crystal thrown by Yin Nasi, and nodded to her with a calm expression to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, Ms. Yinasi, for your generous action. If you hadn't handled it personally, it would have been difficult for us to convict Darkan, who has no clear evil deeds."
"Okay~ It's just a small problem."
Yina Si waved her hand indifferently: "The Burning Legion has invaded again, and the Scourge Legion next door is also ready to make a move. Now is not the time for Quel'Thalas to have civil strife again."
"In Sarlayan's words, to fight against foreign forces, you must first be at home. I am just helping my child eliminate threats from behind, so that he can feel more at ease when charging forward."
"Let's not talk about this yet."
During the conversation, Yinasi left the basement with Solanlian and returned to the ground of Drasil's house, which had long been turned into ruins.
In front of Solanlian, Yin Nasi transformed back into the dragon prototype in a high-profile manner.
The sudden appearance of the dragon in Silvermoon City unsurprisingly caused a panic, and this was exactly the effect Yinasi wanted to achieve, in order to take the initiative to show that Darkan Drasil was killed by the dragon.
"Girl from the Morning Star family, give the evidence to other subordinates and deliver it to the Sun King. Come up and follow me to Unicorn City."
Solanlian tilted her head in a cute way, and asked with a puzzled expression: "At this time? But..."
"Stop it."
When Solanlian handed over the dream crystal in her hand to a backlight blade thief who had released the stealth appearance, Yina Si opened her big mouth and took a deep breath, and accurately sucked Solanlian who was unsteady on her feet. On to his own back.
"Let's go~ Thief over there, help me say hello to the Sun King."
"yes."
The backlit blade thief masked in black scarf respectfully put one hand on his chest and bowed his head to Yin Nasi: "I will definitely bring your greetings."
…
When Yinas, who was talking to herself, took Solanlian away from Silvermoon City and returned to the south of the forest, Valeera and Jaina had already left the Duchy of Deep Shadow one step ahead.
The two deliberately concealed their identities and quietly sneaked into Stratholme City, which had been turned into an undead stronghold by the Scourge... or Kel'Thuzad and Baron Rivendell.
Now is not the time to expose the true position of Baron Rivendell and Kel'Thuzad. Valeera and Jaina did not immediately try to contact them after entering the city. Instead, they began to investigate the latest movements of the Scourge in the city alone.
Using Jaina's phase invisibility, the two of them lurked into the granary in Stratholme City without anyone noticing.
Valeela gently opened a bag of grain with a short knife, and carefully examined the ingredients of the grain with Jaina.
Valeela could only judge through physical means. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing unusual about the grains.
"Gianna, how are you?"
When Valeela looked back, Jaina, whose hand was flashing arcane light, frowned.
"Sure enough, there is a problem. These grains contain trace amounts of the power of death, and they are mutated death powers that have been artificially processed twice."
Valeela cut off Jaina's follow-up academic explanation: "We don't have much time to stay here, so we won't have to go into a long discussion. Let's just talk about the conclusion."
Jaina tapped her forehead in embarrassment: "Sorry, I got used to it in Dalaran."
"The bottom line is, I don't recommend that anyone eat these grains."
"The mutated power of death is likely to cause irreversible damage to the body of the eater... although I am not yet sure what form the damage will take."
Valeela nodded with a serious expression: "This is enough... As expected, as Sarlayan said, the natural disaster plans to start with food, and the disease really comes from the mouth."
In fact, both Valeela and Jaina knew in their hearts that it was too late to come to Stratholme to investigate.
The grain shipped from this large granary in East Wilde has already been transported to various parts of Lordaeron through Andorhal. Presumably a considerable number of Lordaeron people have eaten these grains with added ingredients.
Recently, Ner'zhul, who is about to officially launch his plan, has been in frequent contact with Kel'Thuzad.
In order to avoid accidents and being discovered by Ner'zhul, Sharlayan has not contacted Kel'Thuzad for some time.
Sharlayan was also not sure what Kel'Thuzad would make the plague grains like, how effective it would be, and how many people in Lordaeron would be turned into undead by the plague grains.
This is also the reason why Valeera and Jaina took the risk to come to Stratholme City to investigate in depth.
Jaina sealed some of the plague grains into a special container and used teleportation to send the container directly to Dalaran and the office of Kirin Tor Councilor Ansrem Runwevor.
"Okay, Dalaran will conduct research as quickly as possible. Once a conclusion is reached, they will notify me as soon as possible."
Jaina sighed softly and looked at the large amount of plague grains piled up in the entire granary with a complicated expression.
"Alsace... I didn't expect him to be so cruel as to turn the citizens he was supposed to protect into immortal undead."
Valeera sneered and said sarcastically: "Ner'zhul's constant bewitchment is certainly the main reason. Being able to be persuaded by Ner'zhul's sweet words means that Arthas has a dark side in his heart."
"Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Arthas, as a paladin, really has a heart of steel, it would be meaningless no matter how tempted Ner'zhul is."
Gianna smiled bitterly and shook her head: "He was obviously an upright and kind-hearted child when he was a child. Why did he become like this when he grew up?"
Valeera asked jokingly: "What? You don't have any lingering feelings for him, right?"
Jaina rolled her eyes angrily: "There is no lingering love. He and I have never had any love between a man and a woman."
"I just hope that Alsace's changes can be taken as a lesson, and I should always be alert to not be like him and go astray due to inner paranoia."
Valeera smiled and rubbed Jaina's blond hair, which was as bright as the sun, just like when Jaina was little.
"Don't worry, you won't get this chance."
"When he discovers that you are at risk of making a mistake, Sarlayan will pull you back by your hair."
Gianna, who was originally in a heavy mood, laughed and shook her head: "That's right, he is such a worrying person."
"Let's go."
The little joke between the two sisters relieved Jaina's depressed mood, and Valeera pulled up her hood again to cover most of her face.
"According to the information I heard from the people in the city, Alsace has blatantly started to take action."
"While this prince who has gone astray is not in the city, let's go find Kel'Thuzad, who is staying behind, to learn more about the situation."
