Because the incident happened unexpectedly, there was no time to waste. After the meeting, Michaela immediately arranged for people to travel to Taquilin at night and night, trying to bring back the ambassador from the Forgotten before tomorrow night.
As for her sister Marlenia, Michaela could only express her apology.
Fortunately, Ellanra is willing to help and help take care of Marlenia when Michaela leaves Silvermoon City.
In response, Torina said: "Michaela, why do I think Ellanla is a little weird?"
It's a pity that Michaela can't control that much: "Don't worry, Ellanla will not hurt Marlenia no matter what, and I have to leave now."
After that, Michaela, who had returned to the office, said to Private Secretary Bernard and Permanent Secretary Humphrey:
"Everyone is ready, let's go."
Bernard and Humphrey said in unison: "Yes, Minister!"
In this way, Mikaela left Silvermoon City under the night with the welcoming team composed of her own department, and set off for Taquelin.
However, Michaela didn't know that Ellanra's "care" for Marlenia was a little different from what he imagined.
"To sum up, your brother will not be able to come back tonight."
Ellanla, who suddenly appeared in the lobby of Michaela's villa, said this to Marlenia, who had not yet reacted.
It was human nature to be unable to go home due to work reasons, so Malenia naturally wouldn't say much, but the evil look in Ellanla's eyes at her made Malenia instantly alert.
"I see."
Marlenia replied: "Sister Ellanla, do you have anything else to do?"
If you just bring a message, then Ellanla's mission has been completed, and there is really no need to continue to stay in other people's homes.
But in the next second, Ellanla turned into a shadow and flashed behind Marlenia!
"Shadow Step!"
But Marlenia seemed to have been prepared, and turned around the moment Ellanla came behind her, causing the two to form a posture facing each other.
Ellanra: "Your reaction is very quick."
Marlenia: "What do you want to do?"
Ellanra said: "Don't worry, I don't intend to hurt you, I'm just curious."
Marlenia: "Curious?"
Ellanla: "At first, I just thought that Michaela recognized a female elf who had lost her relatives as her sister. After all, we have experienced natural disaster battles and massacres. There are too many elves who have lost their relatives."
Marlenia added: "But now it seems, isn't it?"
"Yes, no!"
Just listen to Ellanra say: "When we were in Desom, the traitor Darkan asked your name, and your answer was 'Mikayla's Blade'."
Marlenia: "Is there a problem?"
Ellanra: "I don't know what others think, but I think your title is very strange, just like your appearance is strange."
Marlenia: "Strange?"
Ellanra: "Your skills are outrageous. If it weren't for the fact that you are missing one right hand and can only use a prosthetic limb to replace it, I am afraid that Darkan may not be able to defeat you. So what kind of combat profession are you? Warrior, stalker, Or the legendary demon hunter or monk?"
Without giving Marlenia a chance to speak, Ellanra continued: "You are neither. Your fighting profession is very strange. I have never seen it before."
According to the rules of Azeroth's power system, anyone who reaches a certain level of strength will have their own combat profession. For example, Mikaela is a warlock, Ellanra is a stalker, and even the Lich King Arthas is a death warrior. Although she was a knight, Marlenia was not a professional of any kind, yet she was able to exert extremely powerful combat power, which completely violated the rules of the power system.
But does Marlenia really have no fighting profession?
No, she does!
"I am the Valkyrie."
Marlenia said: "In my memory, my fighting profession is Valkyrie."
When the evil god created Malenia, he once said, "You are the strongest Valkyrie." Obviously the "Valkyrie" was Malenia's fighting profession.
However, Marlenia's words confused Ellanla: "What kind of combat profession is the Valkyrie?"
On Azeroth, "Valkyrie" has never been a combat profession, but there are some strong women (female orcs?) who will use "Valkyrie" as their title.
Ellanra knew that she might not be able to figure out what the combat profession "Valkyrie" was for a while, so she simply went to reporters first and understood later. What she wanted to know more now was:
"What about Michaela's blade?"
Who would have thought that Marlenia's answer made Ellanla even more speechless: "When I saw my brother for the first time, this sentence rang in my mind."
ha?
Ellanla was completely confused.
She took the opportunity to come here this time because she wanted to understand the origin of Malenia's power. After all, in the Battle of Desom, Malenia had already shown unique strength. However, Marlenia herself had no feeling at all about this!
Really, really...
"Ah sneeze!"
Under the night, Mikaila, who had left Silvermoon City and set foot on the road to Taquelin again, sneezed for some unknown reason.
"Minister, are you cold?"
Like magic, Private Secretary Bernard conjured a cloak and covered Mikayla's body.
"Thanks, Bernard."
"I was probably a little bit cold," Mikayla said.
Humphrey on the side reminded: "Minister, this is your first formal diplomatic event. Please remember the diplomatic etiquette I taught you, and you must not disgrace our blood elves!"
Today, Michaela is a diplomatic envoy, representing the country, so Humphrey has been teaching her diplomatic etiquette along the way.
For the inexperienced Mikayla, she really needs a teacher like Humphrey. Otherwise, if he makes a fool of himself due to etiquette issues when he meets with the Forgotten Ambassador in Taquelin tomorrow, he will not be the one to lose. One person's face, but the entire blood elf!
Every critical moment, Torina will also help: "Don't worry, Michaela, I have written down all the key etiquette, and there will never be any trouble tomorrow!"
"good!"
When the time came the next morning, Michaela brought his reception team to Taquilin, and Bakashi, the warrior stationed there, came to receive him immediately.
After a brief wash, Michaela, who ignored her fatigue, took Bernard and Humphrey to the hotel to receive the Forsaken group.
A polite handshake, a polite introduction, a polite...
"Anyway!"
Torina puffed up her little chest and said with a complacent expression: "Michaela didn't make a fool of herself after my reminder. All this is my credit!"
Haha, let’s take credit for it!
Michaela, who had not slept all night, had no energy to argue with Torina. His mission was to take Marron and his party to Silvermoon City!
Torina, who was in the spiritual world, also felt Michaela's fatigue, and had to sigh: "Oh, it would be great if the mage could open the portal."
Unfortunately, not now.
As for the above question, Michaela asked Humphrey as early as last night, why can't the mages stationed in Taquelin directly open the portal to send the Forgotten to Silvermoon City.
Humphrey expressed regret for this, and then spoke tens of thousands of words eloquently. Fortunately, after this period of contact, Michaela has mastered the "text compression" method and finally understood what Humphrey meant.
The prerequisite for allowing the mage to open the teleportation gate is that the two parties must establish diplomatic relations and exchange teleportation coordinates to show fairness.
Now that the Forsaken have just arrived, Silvermoon City has not yet established diplomatic relations with them, and the teleportation coordinates have not been exchanged. From an official level, mages are not allowed to open the teleportation gate. This is the rule.
It's pedantic, inflexible, and unreasonable, but it does make sense.
In Azeroth, a world full of magic, magical teleportation coordinates are the country's top secret. If hostile forces master it, they can open the teleportation gate into your home while you sleep!
So it must be treated with caution.
However, this was troublesome for Michaela, who had to stay up all night and rush to Taquilin. Fortunately, the reception work went smoothly, and Mikaela had already picked up the Forgotten people in a car pulled by a chocobo.
"I can finally breathe."
Mikayla said to Marron, a senior executive sitting across from her, "Can I take a nap?"
"No problem, Minister Michaela."
Marlon nodded and said: "I have also participated in many tribal diplomatic activities, especially flying across the endless sea in a goblin airship. Even I feel tired."
"fatigue?"
Torina immediately asked: "Michaela, he is an undead, can he also be tired?"
Although it was impossible for Marron to hear Torina's words, he also saw the confused look on Mikayla's face, laughed a few times like a self-deprecation, and explained:
"My body does feel tired, so sometimes even I can't tell whether my current state is dead or alive, but one thing is for sure, my current state is the result of being cursed."
The so-called Forsaken, their predecessors were all human civilians living in Lordaeron. They were only infected by natural disasters and plagues and became half-dead now. Therefore, they hate the Lich King very much.
This is consistent with the blood elves.
"We will have our revenge."
Michaela said to Marron: "Let's settle the old and new grudges together."
As a subordinate of Sylvanas, Marron also knew about the blood elves being massacred by the undead, so he could understand the other party's feelings and nodded:
"Yes, revenge on the Lich King!"
That afternoon, the ambassadors of the Forgotten, represented by senior executive Marron, came to Silvermoon City and were received by Aqiang.
As expected, the arrival of the undead caused an uproar among the people. Because of the natural disaster war, many blood elves extremely hated the undead, regardless of whether they were the Lich King's subordinates or not.
Fortunately, Azeroth today is dominated by a feudal monarchy system, not a so-called voting system, so the opposition of the common people will not affect the judgment of the regent Aqiang.
On the contrary, after the welcome ceremony, Aqiang arranged a meeting immediately. All senior executives of Silvermoon City were present to discuss various aspects with the Forgotten Mission represented by senior executive Marron.
From the fate of Sylvanas, the situation of the Forsaken, and the external situation, to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the exchange of teleportation coordinates, exchange of commerce and so on.
But for Michaela, he didn’t listen to a word of the information at the meeting because he wanted to sleep!
"Michaela, don't close your eyes!"
Torina hurriedly reminded: "The meeting is not over yet!"
At this moment, Senior Executive Marlon spoke: "We the Forsaken have joined the tribe."
"What, tribe?"
As soon as these words came out, in addition to Mikaela, who had known everything for a long time, the remaining senior officials of Silvermoon City, Regent Aqiang, Ranger General Halduron-Brightwing, Archmage Rommath and Blood Knight Lord Liadrin, at the same time stood up from his seat.
Among them, Aqiang was even more surprised:
"Why would Lady Sylvanas associate with the orcs?"
