"Well, thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Katlana Presto."
Michaela, who was sitting in the reception room eating steak, showed an awkward but polite smile and said to the countess sitting in front of her: "Or, I should call you Black Dragon Princess Onyxia."
A moment ago, Tessa brought Mikaela to the reception room of Catlana's private house. When the countess heard that Mikaela had not had lunch, she generously asked the servant to prepare a steak set for Mikaela for lunch. .
However, Michaela eats other people's food but still exposes their secrets, which can be regarded as the best in the world of scum.
roll!
Michaela angrily criticized the author Lao Jin on the spot, “I am a good person!”
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
After Michaela revealed Catlana Presto's true identity, not only did the other party make no move, even the servants in the room looked calm, as if they had known it for a long time.
As for Countess Katlana herself, she said calmly: "Ambassador Michaela, if it's not enough, I can give you another one."
"Well, thank you."
Of course, if there is an advantage, you have to take advantage of it. Michaela chooses to accept it without hesitation, not caring that the other party will poison others. On the contrary, Michaela does not forget to tease:
"Onyxia, how did you get so many humans to listen to you willingly?"
"In Stormwind, I hope you will still call me by my human name, Katrana."
Katlana called the servants to give Michaela another one, and said: "Ambassador Michaela, according to the report given to me by Master Shore, you once served as a minister in Silvermoon City, and you are also a political figure. You should be able to understand. It makes sense."
"Thanks."
Mikaela, who took the second steak set meal from the servant, said to Katlana: "Indeed, the plot that you can be driven out of Stormwind City just by saying you are a black dragon is simply a fairy tale, and the reality is not at all Not so."
The status of any political figure never depends solely on his personal identity, but on the political group that shares his interests. For example, Wu Zetian was able to claim the title of emperor. Could it be that she was the emperor just by declaring that she was the emperor? Of course, she relied on a large group of ministers who supported and obeyed her, so Wu Zetian could truly have the power of an emperor.
"Yeah, it tastes good."
After swallowing a piece of steak, Michaela wiped her mouth with the towel she prepared, and then said: "Ms. Catlana, in addition to being a noble of the Presto family, you can gain a foothold in Stormwind City. He must have contributed a lot to the Stonemasons Union incident."
Human beings are not fools. They cannot believe in a nobleman made up out of thin air. In the list of human nobles, there really is the Presto family. This family belongs to the nobles of the Kingdom of Alterac. After the kingdom was abolished, the nobles They scattered the trees and went to other human kingdoms.
Obviously, the real Presto family has long been targeted by the Black Dragon Legion and pretended to be theirs, so they have the identity of Katlana Presto, a human noble.
As for the Stonemasons Guild incident, it is a notorious conspiracy in Stormwind City. No wonder even Katrana said: "Oh, it seems that Ambassador Michaela knows a lot!"
The Masons' Guild is the founder of today's new Stormwind City. It can be said that without them, there would be no glorious city today. However, the Kingdom of Stormwind seriously owed the wages of these workers, and even wanted to completely deprive the entire union of wages by making Edwin Van Cleef, the leader of the Masons Union, a noble.
After all, Edwin Van Cleef would never agree to the nobles' plan. So, the Masons' Guild disappeared in Stormwind City, and the Defias Brotherhood began to rise and destroy the Kingdom of Stormwind everywhere.
Guess, everyone, the wages that should have belonged to the Masons’ Union ended up in whose pocket? And what role did Countess Katrana Presto play in this incident that enabled her to rise to prominence and become today's auxiliary minister?
Soon, Mikaela finished the second set of steaks and asked the servant to take away the plate. He then said, "So, Ms. Katlana, how many people in Stormwind City know your true identity?"
With Katrana's current status, she was completely confident and said directly: "There are many people who just noticed that I am strange, but there are not many people who really know that I am a black dragon."
Michaela immediately added: "Then does Duke Bolvar know?"
Katlana also said meaningfully: "What do you think?"
Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled, the appetizers were over, and then it was time to get down to business.
"Okay, let's stop the gossip."
Just listen to Katrana say: "Ambassador Michaela, regarding the battle of Arathi Basin, we in Stormwind City still have some plans that we would like to communicate with the tribe."
Haha, here it comes.
Michaela nodded slightly: "I am willing to convey it to the chief for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants in the room left voluntarily, and even they knew that the next words were a secret.
Katlana leaned forward, showing off her beautiful face, and said: "Over this period of time, the strength of the Forgotten has expanded and it has quickly reached into Arathi. I believe that the war chief is not willing to see this. Let it happen."
The Forgotten are not a direct force of Thrall. If they become bigger, it will indeed affect the status of the orcs in the tribe. Therefore, Katrana means to ask Mikaela to lobby the warchief when she returns to Thrall. Make a stumbling block.
But the problem is:
"Ms. Katlana, I am a blood elf."
Mikaela pointed to herself and said: "The leader of the Forsaken is our former ranger general, Ms. Sylvanas."
It looks like rejection, right, but is there the word "rejection"?
"Don't worry, Ambassador Michaela, we won't let your trip go in vain."
As if by magic, Katrana took out a paper coupon in the palm of her right hand, and then sent it to Mikayla.
Michaela lowered her head and saw that it was a bearer check from the Fifth Goblin Bank with a face value of 10,000 gold coins. It could be cashed in a neutral goblin city. As for the authenticity of the check, if the other party comes up with a fake check that cannot be cashed, will anyone cooperate with them?
However, Michaela did not pick up the check:
"Ms. Katlana, after all, I am the ambassador of the tribe. As long as the Forsaken are still members of the tribe, I cannot harm the interests of the tribe."
In other words, this check can be accepted without harming the interests of the tribe.
After hearing this, Ms. Katlana leaned back against the back of her chair with a bright smile on her face: "Don't worry, Ambassador Michaela, as long as our cooperation is successful, the tribe will not lose any benefits, but there is another part of the negotiation. Bolvar is in charge, I won’t talk about it here.”
Michaela nodded and said: "Oh, that's it."
The regent and the auxiliary are each responsible for part of the government affairs. After Ms. Katrana has finished talking here, she still has to talk to Duke Bolvar.
Just when Ms. Catlana stared at Mikaela with joy, wanting to see him take the check back, Mikaela still didn't make any move.
"Um?"
Ms. Katlana frowned slightly and said, "Ambassador Michaela, is there anything else you want to say?"
Just waiting for your words.
Michaela then said generously: "Ms. Catlana, I heard that the mysterious human mage Mr. Victor Nefarios who now controls Blackstone Mountain is actually named Presto. He should be related to you by blood! "
As an old player of "World of Warcraft", I know the relevant plots by heart, so I mentioned the brother of the Black Dragon Princess.
"Victor Nefarios? What do you want to do!"
However, after Ms. Katlana heard the above, her body instantly tensed up, and her original human eyes instantly turned into golden dragon eyes, and the pressure of a giant dragon bloomed.
Michaela's heart immediately became nervous. Could it be that I stepped on the reverse scale?
Fortunately, Katrana restrained her strength in the next second, and her eyes turned back to human appearance: "Sorry, Ambassador Michaela, I was a little excited just now. I didn't expect you to be so well-informed. That's right, Victor - Nefarios is indeed my brother."
Michaela didn't want to be an enemy of the Black Dragon Princess, so he immediately spoke to comfort: "Don't worry, Ms. Katlana, I don't have any strange thoughts. I just heard that your brother has a batch of special ores, so I thought Buy some."
"Oh I got it."
Ms. Katlana was relieved to hear that the other party just wanted to buy ore, but she did not agree on the spot. Instead, she said: "I can't make the decision. After all, my brother doesn't listen to me."
Of course Michaela knew this, so he said: "Ms. Catlana, I also understand that this is a business between me and Mr. Victor. What I mean is, please give me a letter of recommendation so that I can meet To Mr. Victor.”
"Ah, that's it."
Katrana did not answer immediately, but stood up from her seat, walked to the cabinet nearby and took out two small wine glasses and a bottle of Bordeaux red wine. After pouring one glass for Michaela herself, she poured another glass for herself. Then he sat back in his seat.
What she meant by pouring herself wine was...
Michaela raised her right eyebrow slightly and looked at Katrana in front of her. The latter was not in a hurry to speak, but picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
At this time, Michaela felt Melina's message coming from the soul link: "Master, the other party wants you to make conditions."
By the way, because of Tessa's presence, Michaela didn't dare to let the succubus Melina leave, so even when she met with Ms. Catlana, Melina always sat in the corner of the room.
So that’s it!
Mikaela understood that before the two of them talked about the Arathi Basin battlefield, it was a business matter, but now it is a private matter when they talk about Victor Nefarios. If Mikaela wants to ask Ms. Catlana for help, she must be sincere.
Michaela, who understood the connection, also spoke: "Ms. Katlana, what do you need?"
Ms. Katlana replied: "Need it? With my current strength and status, I don't need anything."
No shortage?
Michaela is a little confused, you don’t lack anything, so what should I do?
Seeing that the other party did not understand, Ms. Catlana reminded her: "Ambassador Michaela, the true meaning of some things lies not in finding the answers, but in finding the right questions."
Find the right question!
Michaela seemed to have caught something, but this thing was too vague, and Michaela couldn't be sure for a while.
If you want to know the answer to something, the key is whether you can satisfy the person who wrote the answer.
Ms. Catlana noticed Micaela's thoughtful expression, so she did not make any noise to interrupt, but took another sip of wine and waited patiently for Micaela to speak.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Michaela smiled and asked:
"Ms. Katlana..."
