Although Tess is young and energetic, she is not someone who cannot listen to persuasion... not to mention that the person persuading her is the Duke of Deep Shadow, who has already become famous all over the world.
Whether it was because of personal relations or official discussions, the fledgling Tess did not dare to thorn in front of Sarlayan. She asked very humbly: "That's why the Deep Shadow Archduke chose the experienced Garona as the Uncrowned One." Executive leader?”
Sarlayan nodded slightly: "That's exactly the case, but unfortunately, it may be difficult for Garona to put down her work and come back within this year."
"Therefore, we need to slightly adjust our plan to expand the scope of recruitment of new members of the Uncrowned Ones."
"Oh?" Luo Ning and Sarlayan did not discuss this point last time. He raised his eyebrows curiously and asked: "What do you have in mind?"
Sarlayan smiled and spread his hands: "Previously, the high-level candidates we selected for the Uncrowned were all thieves from the private sector. I plan to broaden my thinking and invite official intelligence personnel from various countries, including the MI7 of the Kingdom of Stormwind, to arrange for personnel to be stationed there. .”
"Official intelligence agency..."
Khadgar touched his chin thoughtfully: "Will other countries agree?"
"Not sure." Sarlayan said calmly: "But as the exclusive organizations of other professions have been formed one after another, the thieves all over Azeroth really need such a large organization that can move between the official and the private sector. To restrain.”
"When Valeera and Jaina went to Stormwind City to meet with Varian, they mentioned this matter to him in advance. I also briefly discussed this matter with representatives from various countries such as Calia and Kurdran at the banquet. thing."
"It will take some time for all countries to come up with final conclusions. We can first focus on convincing MI7 to provide personnel support. We need to find a capable deputy for Garona before she returns."
Looking at Sarlayan who was talking eloquently, Luo Ning's eyes flashed with suspicion: "Based on what I know about you...you should already have a suitable candidate in mind, right?"
Sarlayan smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I plan to invite Edwin Van Cleef, the former leader of the Stonemasons Brotherhood of the Kingdom of Stormwind and now the elite thief of MI7, to sit at the headquarters of the Uncrowned Ones."
Compared with Mathias Shore, the leader of MI7 and whose strength is close to the peak of mortals, Edwin's strength is much inferior.
However, they both came from the same school, and both were excellent apprentices trained by Pasonia Shore.
Perhaps Edwin is lacking in hard power compared to other top thieves, but as a former leader of another organization, he has excellent overall management skills, and he is perfect for assisting Garona in managing the Uncrowned Ones.
Moreover... Sarlayan had another purpose in choosing to win over Edwin.
He fell in love with Edwin's daughter Vanessa, and wanted to take this opportunity to abduct this little yet-to-be-grown-up girl to Dalaran.
Don't get me wrong, when I say "fancy" here, I don't mean that the barrage is making noise, but simply to be optimistic about Vanessa's talent.
"Edwin." Luo Ning said with a sudden look on his face: "I have also heard about his related deeds, but are you sure that Mathias will let go of his right-hand man?"
"Ha~" Sarlayan smiled meaningfully: "It's not up to him."
"Here~"
Sarlayan slapped a letter with the power of death in front of Ronin: "This is the letter of appointment that I specifically asked for from Pasonia Shore. There is no way that Mathias kid will go against his grandmother's wishes." .”
"Ah?" Khadgar scratched his white hair in confusion: "Although the news about Pasonia has been kept secret, as far as I know, the legendary thief has died long ago, right?"
Sarlayan spread his hands: "That's right, but who said you can't express your opinions after death?"
"Pasonia was transferred to the Shadow Realm after her death. Now she is one of the barons of the Sharp-Eyed Chamber of Maldraxxus and the right-hand man of Akalek, the Marquis of Sharp-Eyed. She is also a very powerful person."
"What the hell..." Khadgar laughed angrily on the spot: "Can you still play like this? Then it is indeed impossible for Mathias to object."
Mathias' parents unfortunately died in the war between the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Gurubashi Empire. He was raised by his grandmother since he was a child.
Therefore, Mathias, who respected his grandmother in every possible way, would never go against Pasonia's wishes.
No matter how reluctant he was, he could only hold his nose and agree to transfer Edwin to Dalaran to help manage the Uncrowned Ones.
Garona is indeed a leader among mortal thieves, and has even stepped into the realm of demigods.
However, as a half-orc, Garona received a typical orc-style education since childhood.
Although she likes to use her brain more than ordinary orcs, compared with humans who have eight hundred minds, Garona's operation and management capabilities are definitely lacking.
Edwin, who is good at this, can complement Garona, who provides military support to the organization.
The only thing worth worrying about is... whether Garona and Edwin from the Kingdom of Stormwind can put aside their national feud and work together.
You know, the former king of Stormwind Kingdom, Llane Wrynn, died under Garona's dagger.
Ryan's death directly led to the collapse of the Kingdom of Stormwind. If Varian hadn't worked hard to prepare for the restoration of the country after his return, Edwin's homeland would have been lost in history.
It's not just Edwin who has doubts, Garona's psychological problems are also not small.
Garona did not assassinate Ryan out of personal will. She had long regarded King Ryan as a friend to whom she was kind.
However, Garona at that time was just a tool in Gul'dan's hands. She could not resist Gul'dan's will as her soul was planted with a control spell.
Since the regicide incident, Garona has been in a state of self-blame and confusion for a long time.
To this day, she still feels deeply guilty for her involuntary assassination. Whether she can correct her mentality and cooperate sincerely with Edwin from the Kingdom of Stormwind is still unknown.
Luo Ning smiled bitterly and rubbed his brow: "This is indeed an issue worth considering."
"According to your statement, Garona will have to wait until at least next year to complete the task at hand and return from Draenor."
"Do we have to wait until next year to take action?"
"That's not necessary." Sarlayan waved his hand and explained: "In fact, as long as Dalaran is ready, we can clear out the Uncrowded Ones who are just a bunch of fish at any time. We just need to wait until Ed Wen just came over to take over the management."
"Madias should be handing over work to Edwin with gritted teeth at the moment. In a week at the latest, he will be teleported over by the court mages of the Kingdom of Stormwind."
"As for when to take action... it still depends on how prepared you are in Dalaran. Try not to disturb the residents on the ground because of this sewer turmoil."
Luo Ning nodded solemnly: "The Kirin Tor Council will resolve related matters as soon as possible... Tess, you should also take advantage of these few days before the operation begins to adjust to your condition."
"After you take down the headquarters of the Uncrowned One, you will really start to get busy."
"Ha~" Tess took a deep breath and smiled cheerfully: "I wish I could have it!"
…
As Sharlayan said, on the fifth day after the secret gathering in Ronin's Mage Tower, Edwin VanCleef hurriedly teleported to Dalaran with his wife and daughter.
Edwin is a middle-aged man in his 40s with an unattractive appearance, but his wife is quite good-looking and has the air of a half-aged lady who still retains her charm.
Vanessa, who is only 12 years old this year, obviously inherited her mother's good looks, and she already has a beautiful body at a young age.
Sarlayan, who was used to seeing high elf beauties, didn't care about Vanessa's appearance. Anyway, she would definitely not be able to compare with her confidantes.
After the people arranged by Ronin secretly brought the Van Cleef family to his mage tower, Sarlayan and other "masterminds" hiding in the dark finally came forward.
Since Edwin's next actions would be more dangerous, in order to prevent his wife and daughter who had no place to stay from being affected, Luo Ning generously invited the family to stay in his mage tower temporarily and wait until the turmoil subsided before moving on to them. Arrange accommodation.
Vanessa hadn't quite figured out the situation yet, blinking her big watery eyes and looking left and right.
As an elite member of MI7, Edwin had already learned a rough idea from Mathias, and he was very satisfied with Ronin's arrangement.
Although the intelligence says that the Uncrowned Ones are now just a group of miscellaneous fish, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents, it is best to prepare for emergencies in advance.
"Tell me, when will we do it? How far do I need to go?" (End of Chapter)
