Generally speaking, when a suzerain faces diplomats, the attitude of the suzerain can be seen based on the size of the reception team sent.
So the orc team that Mikayla met was:
"My name is Nazgrel, blood elf. The chief knows your purpose of coming, so he arranged for me to greet you. Please come with me."
The team that greeted Mikaela included and was the only orc in front of him wearing a wolf-head mask. He took Mikaela and Marlenia out of the airship tower and all the way to Orgrimmar.
“There was only one person on the greeting team.”
Torina sighed and said to Mikaela: "It seems that Thrall doesn't care much about the blood elves."
Taking a deep breath of the dry air of Durotar, Mikaela felt that her trip might not go smoothly. Even if Thrall finally agreed to the blood elves joining the tribe, the agreement signed might not be so fair.
This won't work!
As the ambassador of the blood elves, I must think of something.
At this time, Mikaela's mind was full of thinking about how to face Thrall, and she even had no time to pay attention to the majestic orc main city of Orgrimmar.
Fortunately, Malenia, who had no idea about diplomatic relations, was very excited and listened carefully to Nazgrel's introduction to the main city of the orcs.
Orgrimmar is located in the northern part of Durotar, the eastern coastal area of Kalimdor. Different from the gorgeous style of the blood elves, Orgrimmar is a typical orc city, full of rough style, with stone everywhere. Qi's architecture and decorations of animal skins and tusks are full of wild beauty.
The gate of Orgrimmar is located on the south side of the city. Go all the way north through the passage and you will come to the "Valley of Power". There are hotels, auction houses, banks and other facilities here, which are equivalent to commercial streets. To the west of "Valley of Power" is the "Spiritual Valley" Vale," where orc spellcasters gather.
But Michaela and her party did not go there. Instead, they followed the gate in the northeast corner of "Power Valley" to the "Dark Alley Area" in the middle that connects other areas.
The northeast of the "Dark Alley Area" is the "Valley of Honor" where is the camp of the orc warriors, and the northwest of the "Dark Alley Area" is the "Valley of Wisdom", the destination of Michaela and his party, which is where Thrall's Fortress is located.
"Thall's Fortress", similar to the "Tower of the Sunfury" in Silvermoon City, is the warchief's office and private residence.
"Our chief has many things to do, so he doesn't have time to see you today."
Nazgrel, who came to the Valley of Wisdom, did not take Mikaela to Thrall's fortress, but said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"So, please go to the hotel to have a good rest for a few days and feel the enthusiasm of us orcs."
Note that Nazgrel did not mention the specific time when Warchief Thrall met Mikaela in the above article, he just took them to the hotel.
"Michaela, you were left alone."
Torina stood up with a bang, raised her right hand and slammed it on the desk in front of her, and said angrily: "Huh, dignified time traveler, when have you ever experienced this kind of birdiness? This tribe will no longer add it." !”
Michaela's nose twitched a few times: "Should I say one more thing, the three-year period has come to welcome the Dragon King back to the throne?"
Torina immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes, if you put on a crooked smile and dismiss everything, it will be just right."
Michaela asked in return: "So what should we do with the remaining blood elves far away in Silvermoon City? Are we going to wait there to die without foreign aid?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Michaela continued: "Of course it's great to have the Dragon King return, but the mission I shoulder is important, and I can't just do things based on my personal likes and dislikes. Do you understand?"
Torina said "Oh" and said more seriously: "So, Michaela, are you enduring the humiliation?"
In fact, what Saar did was far from being an insult. It was a relatively common method in diplomacy, where the advantaged party puts pressure on the disadvantaged party.
As Michaela and Marlenia checked into the hotel arranged by Nazgrel, Michaela, who was sitting on the big animal skin bed, decided that Sal would give her a cold look for a few days and would not receive her immediately.
"Thall, the fact that you didn't drive me away means that you are interested in the blood elves. Since you are interested, we can talk about it later."
"I'll let you know my negotiating tactics."
Just as Mikaela expected, it was Thrall who ordered Nazgrel to receive Mikaela's brother and sister, and it was Thrall who ordered Mikaela to stay for a few days.
So what is Sal doing at this time? Of course he is in his bedroom, talking about this with an important person!
I saw a human woman with blond hair and a shawl lying on the bed. She said to Thrall who was sitting beside the bed with a slightly remorseful tone: "Arthas destroyed Quel'Thalas, which led to The current situation of the blood elves, Thrall, I hope you can help them."
This woman is Jaina Proudmoore. There have been various rumors between her and Thrall. Now it seems that the rumors are not groundless.
"I know, Jaina."
Thrall said to the beauty in front of him: "You have studied magic in Dalaran and know many elves. You want to help them. I understand and I am willing to help."
"But, Jaina, accepting a race into the tribe is not the same as accepting a few people. Even I have no right to decide this matter alone."
"I see."
Jaina is not a fool. Although she has a good personal relationship with Thrall, real politics emphasizes interests, not personal emotions.
As a result, Jaina adjusted her thinking and changed her words: "Thall, the blood elves are human beings' teachers in magic. Their magical attainments are very profound and can effectively make up for the tribe's shortcomings in spellcasting."
Thrall nodded. The reasons Jaina mentioned were exactly why Thrall became interested in blood elves, but these were not enough, because:
"Then, Jaina, why don't you ask the Alliance to take in the blood elves? If I remember correctly, the blood elves were once members of the alliance." Thrall's words were to the point, very straightforward.
In this regard, Jaina did not hide it: "Thall, I believe you have discovered a long time ago that from a racial perspective, the blood elves are out of place in the human alliance. The original teaching of magic to humans was only necessary to defeat the Amani trolls. Do this."
After hearing this, Thrall understood that the blood elves had indeed joined the Human Alliance for practical reasons, but their role in the Human Alliance was more like an unstable factor, so they were so "incompatible".
Thrall looked at Jaina and asked, "Jaina, why do you think I can control these incompatible blood elves?"
Jaina stretched out her right hand and touched Thrall's green face, and said warmly: "Because you are Thrall, the chief of the tribe."
Many people think that the early Jaina was silly and sweet, but after all, Jaina is the princess of Kul Tiras and a figure who has seen political scenes. How could she be silly and sweet? Even the image of Ji Biao in the future has been changed. Now I see a shadow.
On the other hand, Thrall, the orc chief, as an orc raised by humans, has learned human political thinking since he was a child. As a master of politics, Thrall is completely different from other bold orcs. He has his own unique ideas.
After comforting Jaina, Thrall left the bedroom and came to the office. At this time, Nazgrel's report had been placed on his desk. Not only that, the other two allies were also waiting for his arrival.
"Sal, you're here."
The man on the left is more than three meters tall, wearing an animal skin coat, with horns on his head and two hooves. He is the tauren chief Kane Bloodhoof.
The one on the right is over two meters tall, with blue skin, slender limbs, and two long fangs popping out of his mouth. He is Vol'jin, the leader of the Darkspear Trolls.
The new tribe established by Thrall is centered on the three major forces of orcs, darkspear trolls and tauren. As for the fourth force, the Forsaken, they came later and cannot be compared with the status of the first three.
To use modern vocabulary to describe it, it is the orcs, dark spear trolls and tauren, holding the original shares of the tribal company in their hands, so the meeting held on behalf of these three forces is the shareholders' meeting of the original shareholders.
After Thrall sat down, Kane and Vol'jin sat on the left and right respectively. The purpose of the shareholders this time was of course to discuss whether the blood elves were qualified to join the tribe.
Thrall opened his mouth and said: "You have all read Sylvanas' letter, right?"
When the tribe welcomes new forces to join, of course, there must be rules and procedures. The first step is the introduction of other forces in the tribe. For example, for the blood elves this time, Sylvanas, the Dark Queen, leader of the Forsaken, is the introducer.
Vol'jin's answer was very interesting: "I have read it. The letter said that the blood elves and the Amani trolls have a blood feud, but we are Darkspear trolls and are not the same type as the Amani trolls."
It looks like he said something, but in fact he said nothing. It's typical of being muddled.
Old Cow Kane's answer is also very interesting: "I have also seen it. The blood elves are in crisis today, and our original intention of establishing the tribe is to be an alliance of the oppressed, so we should help them."
Pay attention to the wording, it is "help", not "accept".
Thrall first looked at Vol'jin, then turned to look at Kane, opened his fangs and said, "We are all old friends, just say what you have to say."
Wo'jin was very honest: "I have no objection."
That is to say, whatever the big brother says is what it is.
What about old cow Kane?
Under Thrall's gaze, this apparently honest-looking tauren finally opened his mouth:
"I learned something about the blood elves from the night elves in Cenarion. They are very good at magic and everything related to magic."
While speaking, Kane took out a weapon from his arms and placed it on Thrall's desk.
"A dagger!"
Sal took a look and asked, "Is there anything special?"
Kane replied: "Look at the enchantment on it."
Thrall picked up the dagger and took a look. Sure enough, there was a faint blue light on the blade, which was the sign of enchantment. Thrall quickly recognized the type of enchantment:
"Enchanted Weapon - Spell Energy."
After saying this, Thrall gently enchanted the blade with his fingers, feeling the effect of the enchantment personally, and immediately said "Eh".
Kane: "How does it feel?"
Thrall put down the dagger and said: "It is more advanced and more effective than the similar enchantments I have seen. How did you get it, Kane?"
Kane said: "After listening to the description from the night elves, I immediately spent money to buy an enchanted weapon produced by the blood elves from the humans through the relationship with the goblins."
Thrall and Vol'jin who were present both knew the story of the Scourge War, because that war brought the blood elves to a state of near-annihilation. It was only recently that they recovered, so the blood elves' enchanted weapons are still available on the market. , are all inventory left over from the past, and are naturally very expensive.
"Kane, you spent money." Vol'jin said.
Thrall also understood what Kane meant: "Our tribe does need the enchanting skills of those elves, but we must determine whether today's blood elves still retain their original strength."
"But first, we must demonstrate the majesty of the tribe."
