Prelude 5(1/2)
The next day, I returned to my post. Under my command, Mavi changed work with Nasha and made simple handovers, and still had his own work in the command post. After a morning of work, as the overall quantification reached the depth of human work, all tasks, detailed content and goals were completely set to all centurions.
My work has been completed in the first stage. The others are that the commanders can feed back the information to me, and then arrange them according to the actual situation and problems they have received. Of course, they have to inspect their on-site from time to time. But now, there are not many tasks that they have to complete.
It was because Kalimdo had no heavy tasks, so Fanik asked me about his desire to return to Kurtiras because he was still worried about an emergency there. At this time, I realized that I was really ignoring something. Although Ronin and Mailin's team had arrived there, there was no reply these days, so it was indeed necessary to take a look. And I don't think Ronin could be busy with it alone, especially when Wenleza was like this, she still needed to take care of it.
I think it is necessary to change this, that is, we all go to Kultilas, which can also show our importance to Jaina's hometown. After making this decision, I temporarily handed over all the command here to the Buddhadine and the High Elf leader Lothama in the Paladin Church in the west.
Yes, Ferdinder is the best choice. Of course, for the sake of the future, I also let him take his eldest son Tyran out to work. As the representative of the new generation of Paladins, he obviously has to shoulder more responsibilities. Although Rothema has not yet fully emerged in the shadows and is not in good condition, he is also a representative of tens of thousands of high elves, and he must be involved. As for the high elves, Rothema's mission was originally left to Nathanos to manage. As for the others, I decided to leave Manac and Nasha in Kurtiras and replace Melin. Now the priestess is temporarily handed over to Metwine. Although he was a paladin, he has now become a qualified priestess under the training of Mavie. In this regard, I think that since she can change her profession so quickly, she will definitely be able to bear more important responsibilities in the future.
Mavie didn't plan to go for my decision. She was worried that her appearance would cause some doubts from Kul Tiras. I persuaded her and had to follow me because this must be what I and her had to face. This was the only way for this. So we and I went to take Nasha first and assigned the task. After seeing Maithieu, we also saw that she could master many priestess skills now, exactly as Mavie said. According to Mavie's explanation, she was favored by the moon god, maybe, but
Mavi was still a little worried that the Holy Light mechanism would conflict with some of the essence of the Moon God's power, and told me that she had specially arranged a priestess to pay attention to her situation. I didn't say anything about Mavi's decision. Although I didn't believe her concerns, I obviously had no reason to object. After all, as a representative of the Paladin's transfer, she was very important. Then Mavi's caution was completely necessary, but I didn't know what Mavi had explained at this time, and obviously I didn't need to ask too much about these small things.
At the same time, I also met Nathanos here. Obviously he was busy for the high elves, but even so, I could feel his guilt towards me and the people around me. For this, I only think that he was the heavy blow to the high elves caused by the advancement in the war. But the battlefield changes rapidly on the battlefield, who can guarantee that he will not make mistakes. More importantly, they had already determined that we were wiped out at that time, so there was no mistake and the correct distinction between mistakes and correctness. After comforting for a few words, he couldn't help but want to say something to me, but he still didn't say anything. Of course, I didn't ask in detail. After all, in my subconscious mind, I thought that what he wanted to say was apologized. But as far as the result was concerned, I should continue to ask, and maybe I could ask about Sylvanas, but who would have thought that it would be like this at that time...
After picking Nasha away from the hospital, I quickly flew towards Jaina. What surprised me was that when Jaina arrived, she was two hours away from bed until noon after sensing my appearance. Not only that, she almost made her bedroom very messy, and obviously she was released to herself when she was alone.
Eggwen's explanation was that she and her explored the magic of the transformation last night and lasted until 4:00 am. I couldn't say anything about this. After telling her the idea of returning to Kultilas, Jaina did not refuse, but quickly sorted out her clothes. Obviously, she didn't want to look like a little sloppy in front of her people. Mavie and Nasha helped her dress and simply took care of the magic books, notes and other places. Jaina felt very guilty about this. She felt a little out of control, but who would care about these details? After she finished sorting out, Jaina handed over the affairs here to Aggwen and opened the portal to Kultilas.
Then we quickly arrived there. It was the gate of the palace that was once the gate. When we saw that it was our arrival, the soldiers of Kurtiras were also very respectful, and we signaled them to continue their duties. However, before entering, I looked back. Kurtiras's current living conditions are indeed not as good as before. On the road, many shops also had signs of out-of-stock, and the pedestrians coming and going were not as good as before. In addition, the weather is now stormy, which makes me feel even more unhappy.
Especially when one of my former personal guards, the guard of the palace, saw us arrive, he came over in person. Facing my expression and condition, he saw that I was thinking, he told me a very embarrassing thing, that is, Kurtiras's resources are almost exhausted. Although before the Burning Legion invaded, although Dailin followed my advice and purchased our food at a very low price, there was not much left now due to the consumption and support of the war, and at most it would last until the autumn of the next year. Kurtiras himself did not produce any food, so he had to rely on our supply, or purchase Stormwind City and Iron Fortress. The Supreme Commander here, Luo Ning, was preparing to arrange this matter, but he was not busy.
After hearing the difficulties here, Mavie had her own suggestions. She proposed to purchase food from the night elves in the Phelas area along the coastline in the east. As for the payment of funds, they can be distributed to us. As long as the funds are transferred, they can be sent. Lothema did collect a lot of the assets of the goblins in Xiushui Port, which can be used now. After hearing Mavie's explanation, we all thought it was very feasible. He asked Mavie to start this. After all, as far as I know, the night elves lords over there are Santis and Mavie's younger brothers, which should be much more convenient. Of course, the specific details will be clear after seeing Ronin. And she said that these are obviously to do these things for us.
The guard seemed very clear about our purpose. He told us about Luo Ning's residence and led us to the place, which was a side hall, not the room I originally planned to have Dailin's room.
At this moment, Luo Ning obviously realized our arrival and came to welcome us. Luo Ning was also very happy about our arrival. With his introduction, we met Wen Leisa. She was waiting for us at the door with her big belly. Her belly looked extremely big and she could have children at any time. Mailin was also serving her. Obviously, for the same elves, she still knew how to take care of Wen Leisa.
As for our appearance, she still focused her main focus on Mavi, whom she had never known each other. Yes, her body shape and hair color, if the main difference between the night elves and the high elves is not counted, they look very similar to sisters to outsiders. Moreover, compared to other night elves, Mavi is in a place where she cannot see the light all day long, and her skin color is much whiter than the traditional violet color of other night elves. They looked at each other, and compared to Wenleza, who only used her eyes, Mavie had an extra case provided by Mairene for inquiry.
And we all looked at the two of them. Obviously, for those who didn't know each other, they always felt indescribable when they met at this time. That is, no matter how much Mavie was around me, the existence of her sister Sylvanas was still hard to explain.
"You are His Majesty Mavie. I heard Ronin talk about your past with King Arthas. I am very high-tech and you can join our alliance." Wenleza wanted to bow to her, but obviously Mavie did not need any etiquette expression, let alone her current state.
"I'm very happy, General Wenleza, but I hope you can do nothing like everyone else."
"Well, if you think you can, then I will, but there will always be some process..., like you, no one here calls me a general." Wenleza and Mavie laughed together.
"Yes, it takes some process..." After the laughter continued for a while, Mavie returned to the topic. "I looked at your case and it was really surprising that you didn't have any demonic attacks. I hope to know what method you used, which will help your fellow race..."
"What's wrong with my fellow race?" When Mavie said this, he suddenly thought of a question, that is, obviously no one mentioned anything about Lothama and the others. But Wenleza saw our low faces and obviously realized something. "Does the symptoms of demonism have appeared collectively?"
Regarding Wenleza's questioning, Luo Ning, who is not good at lying, could not continue to hide it, so she could only tell the truth. In addition to Wenleza's worries, she also told the high elves Xiushui Port and their experience of fighting with Zulkin. Of course, she finally told them about their current situation, that is, their high elves who are not controlled by natural disasters are only tens of thousands of people left, and a large number of soldiers were killed, such as Leaderine and Lothama, and the most important thing is the alliance, and even no one can cure this disease...
As we said this, Wen Leisa was silent for a while. Just when we thought we shouldn't have said it, she smiled bitterly and expressed her understanding.
"Fortunately we are all fine, aren't we? If my experience can bring hope to my race, I hope you can help us."
"That's certainly, Wenleza."
In this way, it was a good opening remark. Then Mavi and the priestess stayed here, and everyone else, including Ronin, retreated to another room. Regarding the status quo, Ronin repeated the topic of the guard just now, and for the solution I recounted Mavie, Ronin agreed very much. He believed that as long as the food was fully in place, the main contradiction of Kurtiras could be temporarily resolved. Of course, he also suggested that this order be executed immediately, because the Phelas area is also close to the tribes and must be able to get the food before them.
However, at this time, Jaina still suggested sharing the food to Iron Fortress and Stormwind City, and we had no objection to this.
That's all, but private affairs have become our current theme. We also learned about Wenleza's situation. What makes us very pleased is that Wenleza is pregnant with twins. However, as for why Wenleza was not affected by demonism, Ronin personally believes that in addition to Wenleza's strong will, his own child's human attributes also suppress Wenleza's demonism mania and the protection of the red dragon, but when the child is born, something strange may immediately appear.
Luo Ning said that she really didn't know what to do when she was in confinement, but this was just a guess. In fact, after all, we are still very satisfied with Wen Leisa's performance. It is really difficult to do if she can be so strong in such a situation. However, Luo Ning's explanation is that she has always been so strong and optimistic. This can indeed relieve a lot of pressure for Luo Ning and motivate Luo Ning to the present. At the beginning, she was worried that she would question Mavie's affairs or sarcasticize Mavie. After all, the reason of the high elves now can no longer control themselves, but now it is obvious that I am thinking too much. Wen Leisa's firm willpower still makes me look at it with admiration.
After we briefly communicated with each other about the current situation and current situation, I also generally understood that the current situation of Kultilas is not very good, and the war with the tribe made this situation even worse. We put this into action now on the food matter, of course, the rest are ships and other consumption. Jaina suggested going north along the sea to try to establish a fortress garrison in the Silver Song Forest, relying on the current from north to south in winter to connect the huge trees cut there and transporting them directly here. After all, we do not have so many ships to transport these wood, so we can only do this. As for medicines and other essential products, such as coal and vegetables, in addition to the purchase of Serafi, we have to rely on us to trade with Iron Fortress.
The transaction with Iron Fort has begun, but I owe a lot of accounts there, and I can use the treasures and food robbed by Rothemma to pay for it. There are some things that are to try to promote some local generals of Kurtiras. After all, they are our main force. Of course, such things will be left to Jaina to deal with. Although she has been living in Dalaran and Lordaeron, she is the real queen here. At this time, I realized the urgency of some things that Varik told me last night, but then again, if possible, I hope Jaina can give birth to me.
Child, unfortunately, she is busy with her own affairs and has no time. And now, Jaina and Mawei have to stay here. If Nasha and Manic are included, I will only go back by myself. After all, no matter what, we must be our own roots, and we must control them in real time. The purpose of leaving so many people here is nothing more than thinking about the heavy tasks here, and at the same time, let the Kultilas see that all my confidants can be dispatched by Jaina, which may reduce the suspicion of the Kultilas. I offset the worries of Jaina's status.
After all the matters were discussed briefly, it was already more than an hour later, so we were about to return to Wenleza. What made me feel relieved was that Wenleza slept beside Mavie. It was obvious that they were getting along well with each other. This might be really good. We also briefly told Mavie about our plan, and Mavie also agreed and immediately started to do this. That is, Mavie and I went back to Theramore first, and after telling Rothema, he told him to use half of his treasure to buy food from the night elves, and
Rothema had no objection to repaying the Iron Fortress materials. After all, he was fully supporting us now, and he originally planned to hand over the property of those goblins for development. However, under the final push, Rothema and his high elves still shared a quarter, half of the remaining for this consumption, and the rest was used for the construction of dust swamps. After all, the cheap orc labor has disappeared and we have to rely on our situation. However, because of this, the high elves can also live a middle-class life here.
After reaching this agreement, I quickly went back to find Egwen and arrived in the vault of our command headquarters, and asked her and Gianna to work together to teleport Mavie and these treasures and a dozen guards who transported the treasures to Yuyue Fortress. The knowledgeable Egwen did know the location and agreed to my request to arrive there with us, which was near Yuyue Fortress. The sentries here were very surprised by Mavie's appearance. After confirming that it was Mavie herself, they looked very welcome. Obviously, they did not have any hostility because of Mavie's exile, but were like her own soldiers.
"Sister, why are you here? You have brought so much gold."
A head guard in charge walked up to Mavie and said respectfully, "Mavie was not surprised by his favor and disgrace." Seeing Mavie's expression, the female guard was not like this, but turned into a serious diplomatic look.
"I'm just here to do business, and I want to buy a large amount of food and medical supplies."
"But your younger brother Galord and Sister Sandys are not here, so I can't make the decision."
The chief guard explained in a hurry, and Mavi asked her about something. She seemed to know her younger brother very well, such as not being able to go out easily.
"Did they go to the tribe?"
"You got it?"
"No, I don't know, I'm just worried about this..." Mavie's face was not very good, and she decided to take action first and then report. "Have you not reached an agreement on the price yet?"
Seeing that Mavie had guessed correctly, the chief guard no longer hid anything.
"Yes, those materials are ready. They originally wanted to trade with the tribe, but their prices were too low. They hoped to buy food as the price before the Burning Legion invaded, converting five tons of grain per kilogram of silver to buy food. Now the Burning Legion invaded, and the fertile fields in other areas are deserted. This price is really too low. After all, in the main city of Danasus, the price of grain and other supplies have risen to three times, and the tribe has too strict requirements.
"So Santis disagreed, and they invited him over. My younger brother Garod was worried that something would happen to her and so he followed her, right?" The guard chief seemed embarrassed to Mavie's question, but she still told Mavie something privately. Although we couldn't hear what the general said, Mavie nodded. "Okay, now we will earn more than three times the current grain price of Danasus, at the price of five tons of grain per kilogram of gold, including the entire income that was originally planned to give to the tribe."
"this..."
"I think this is OK. Don't worry about Sandys and Galord. They will agree. After all, I am his own sister, and none of you were brought out by me and promoted. Also, you are yourself, Sora Yuyue. After you do this, you can follow me."
"But I hope you can also consider what you have to do for Sister Sandys, otherwise it will be difficult for the tribe to explain."
"I know!" Mavie said, and fired a lightning bolt at a nearby dead tree, which split and burned it. "I forced the deal! It has nothing to do with you, nothing to do with the alliance."
"Mavi..." I also know about Mavi's behavior, which is to make outsiders seem to threaten them and then implement this transaction. However, I don't think she needs to bear it herself, but Mavi signaled me not to say anything.
In response to this, the guard commander of Yeshen Yingge signaled the soldiers to carry and verify the gold coins with our soldiers.
I was surprised to see this. Mavie was like the leader here, sending orders to others. What was even more surprising was that others were still very obedient. And just after a while, after they briefly verified, they reported to Mavie very sincerely as the leader:
"Maybe you're paying too much, there's no such much food here."
The chief guard said, and Mavie gave him more instructions on this
"I also need a lot of supplies, including iron and precision machinery, medicines, weapons, armor, mounts, and animals. In short, besides luxury goods, I will buy whatever you have. They are all purchased at three times the current market price, but you are responsible for providing sea transportation to Kultilas and just go to Mailin to take over."
I was surprised by Mavi's attitude, especially when I didn't expect that no one would disobey her orders. After everyone around me took action, I guess I realized that things were not that simple, such as the relationship between the guard and Mavi.
After all the gold and silver coins she brought, she took off her disguise in a place where no one else, and looked very close to her like Nasha.
"I'm afraid I will be exiled by the high priest afterwards. I hope I can continue to follow you!"
She expressed her expectations to Mavie, and Mavie was signaling me what to say about it. I quickly expressed my expectations.
"I'm glad you've joined the league, trust me, I won't let you down here."
"It is my honor to be able to serve you, King Alsace and Queen Jaina, and..." She questioned Eggwen, obviously this female guard Changbing didn't know her identity. Or she couldn't believe her. "Master Eggwen?"
"It's me."
Hearing this, the headmaster guard was full of surprise, but this was also more determined to make her join us.
"But I hope I can continue to serve Princess Mavie at that time, but before that I have to hand over the work here, Sister Sandys hasn't come back yet."
When I heard this, Jaina and I seemed to feel something. For example, this female guard captain seemed to be the confidant who was trapped here by Mavian, but after all, she was still the confidant of the same clan as Santis.
"I will not have any objection. You can choose any position here. Then you can go to Kultilas with these shipping vessels. Your sister Mavi has many tasks there to help you."
"Um"
....
So the matter was solved and the mission was completed. Gianna and I originally planned to meet Yuyue and Mavie's younger brother Galaud and expressed our apology to them, but Mavie felt it was unnecessary because her current identity was not suitable to see them in the territory of the Night Elf. I didn't say anything about this and went back to the top of the Theramore Mage Tower. Gianna and Mavie were also teleported back to Kurtiras by Egwen after saying a simple farewell to me.
Before saying goodbye, I couldn't help but ask her a question, that is, whether she has many existences like Sora Yuyue just now. However, Mavi nodded in response to this and apologized to me, because she had to be responsible for those people, so she could not tell me the information about these people. I expressed my understanding of this, and after they left, Eggwen also looked relieved.
"His Majesty Alsace, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to subdue this night elf to serve you."
"It's a pity that their high priest exiled her."
"But as far as I know, their relationship is very close. It is impossible for Tyrande to do such extreme things because of some things, and there are really something that threatens her status. How could Tyrande let the tiger go back to the mountain? Instead of killing the existence as a threat, she knows Mavi better than anyone else, and of course she also knows that if she talks about the terrible enemy and does not suppress Mavi's remnants afterwards, it is a huge problem in itself. And when she just saw the female guard, she also hoped to be exiled by the high priest, perhaps it has already explained everything."
"Do you want to say that this is premeditated?" I listened like this. Although I was also suspicious in my heart, I wanted to know the views of the oldest human wizard, and Egwen still had a lot to say to me about this.
"I won't say it's a premeditation, but I want to say it's Tyrande who wants to fulfill Mavie. I've read historical materials about you in the war against the Burning Legion, but to be honest, it's hard to be together just by doing this with Mavie, without any emotional foundation."
"So you want to say that she has other purposes, such as controlling the entire alliance? To be honest, I had such concerns at first, but after experiencing so much together, I admit it even if I have experienced it. And with their Night Elf's strength, I don't believe in your guess, Master Eggwan."
My words firmly were obviously due to my trust in Mavie, but Egwen did not mean that.
"If they were not necessary, what would it be? Just like me, did she have to inherit her with a child? Did she realize that her life is not long before. The destruction of the World Tree will always make her face such a problem? I want to hear your understanding, His Majesty Alsace."
"Maybe she is different from you at the beginning. She just wants to enjoy the warmth of her family, if she can have the true sustenance in her life at the end. Of course, I have also imagined many possibilities, but I have never thought of any possibility, unless she had a deep relationship with me before I met her at the beginning, but this makes even more sense. Perhaps the relationship cannot be explained clearly."
"You are right. It seems that you have thought a lot, so I don't have to worry about you being confused by women. However, being able to rely on you only means that you are lucky. Look, she will give more things for your will that you can't imagine." Eggwen said this. I now understand her purpose, that is, she doesn't want emotions to interfere with my rational judgment, and of course there are more, such as my thinking ability, which is very important for some of her personal private plans. "But I was just selfish in the past and wanted my descendants to inherit my strength, but this almost ruined Medivh and me. Compared to her, I really feel inferior to me, but you can see that you are sincere to Jaina and other your partners, but are you doing so much for your own country or your own interests."
"I am for my people, but human nature always has his selfish side, right? But I know that the more I can think about the interests of my people, my rights will be greater, and there will be more loyalty and follow my people and partners. This is not a conflict. Master Aegwen, if someone is more suitable than me, I will give it up, for example, now I have stepped down as the head of the alliance and given it to Varian, and if he gives me the orders I will obey."
"Yes, I'm glad to be able to serve you, King Alsace, but if you want to better control more powerful forces, you have to pay a lot of things, and the same is true in other fields. Mavi did it ten thousand years ago, but Jaina still has a long way to go. As for you, if you can use more people correctly for you, there will probably be a long way to go. I hope you have a preparation."
As Egwen said, he prepared, and under the tower, there were a large number of mage apprentices who were borrowing magic books waiting for her to guide and educate. However, it was obvious that a lecturer could not meet the teaching requirements of these hundreds of apprentices. Moreover, due to her age, her health was not very good. Maybe everything would work normally after Luo Ning came back. However, I still pondered about her words for a long time. Although I didn't understand, I felt that what she said was right, and maybe the way she responded might only be known at that time.
I changed back to the dragon form and returned to myself. I did not go back to the command post first, but went to see everywhere, such as the priestess. When I arrived there, I found that Ms. Maitwine was in control of the overall situation here and did not allow the daily work to be carried out in an orderly manner. She was indeed very talented in healing, and her affinity really made her very good at managing the place. Moreover, she was a native of Lordaeron. Apart from Foding, Manic and me, she was the only remaining silver hand on the Kalimdo continent.
She was very surprised by my arrival. She didn't expect that I would arrive here specifically. So after a simple greeting, she led me into her office, which was the original room of Mavie. Obviously, after Mavie left, she and Nasha were taking care of the place. Before coming in, I told him that if he needed any medicine, he would arrange some griffin knights to transport these supplies.
I asked this, but it was actually just a greeting at the opening. She kept nodding, but what surprised me was that when we arrived in the room, she immediately handed me the list, and the specific consumption that might be consumed in the next few months, I felt that she should be assigned a more suitable position for her. Of course, since she had given me the list, I could only implement these things as soon as possible.
To be continued...
