Chapter 48: Sister's Engagement (Part 2)

I told you about my plan, and each of them had their own tasks. Although there was no objection, it did not mean that everyone had the same preference for my ideas. For example, Jaina smiled badly, and my Paladin partner nodded in agreement, but the other two were not very happy. They both acted reluctantly and even despised. First of all, Ronin said that it was difficult for him to control the magic tasks I arranged for him alone, so he had to ask Karegoth, who was more profound than his spells, and Jian, who was also a mage, for some details.

Na also followed him to find the Lan Long who was still teaching. Only Wen Lesa and her eyes that had come up with such a way to me and were disgusted by her. Perhaps she would think of how I used some evil ways to get her sister Sylvanas, or she would unconsciously be on me... Regardless of her, as long as the person involved didn't care, it would be nothing. I believe that even if Sylvanas knew that I used some methods on her, she would not reduce her feelings for me, and I don't think Wen Lesa could still remember this when the two sisters met again.

Everything is planned, just wait for Ronin. Jaina can learn the ability to invade personal dreams from the Blue Dragon. This kind of spell may require the caster's high comprehension ability, but since Kadega can use such a spell, there is absolutely no reason for these two close friends with the same talent to learn it. Moreover, even if this matter is hasty, it cannot be done immediately. With Jaina coming forward, it is not impossible to let Karegoth implement this spell himself. The reason why I arranged for them was to let them master more skills.

Now that the mage has left, only a few paladins and a ranger of light are left. If it were another time, we would definitely tease this beauty who had just despised me with our personality. However, when we think of the day after tomorrow, we feel that it is necessary to review our oath and the solemn steps we will be in at that time. If we or both of us make a feast where all human kings are present, it would be a shame.

During this period, I was also thinking about another question, that is, the fourth person besides me, Maneck Winresa, who attended the rank ceremony, Varian. I was also wondering why he waited until the day before the ceremony to arrive at the Royal Lordaeron City. Why not take this opportunity to come here first, so that he can negotiate alliance matters with his father and relive friendship with us and others. It can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone.

‘Or because of some political concerns?’ I thought so, maybe it would be better for me to explore the truth before the ceremony or even before meeting him.

I found out that the envoys from Stormwind City arrived in Nanhai Town in the afternoon. At this time, Luo Ning and Jaina came back. In their satisfied smile, they said that they had learned the skills from Lan Long. So at my request, Luo Ning teleported me and him to that position to meet this friend whom I haven't seen for many years. However, unlike ordinary friends, I want to observe in the dark and not let him know my existence. So I also need someone to help me perform the invisibility technique.

It is indeed a fantasy to have teleported at such a distance just by just being a distance, and it would be even more excessive to let him perform. However, at this time, Luo Ning was no longer the half-baked guy who cheated his teammates at that time, and could easily complete all the tasks I asked for. These are enough to witness that he was already one of the best human masters at this time. I firmly believe in the ability of this consultant, so I walked into the camp where Variant was safe.

Soon I found him inside, sitting on the ground with others next to a fire. I, who hadn't seen him for many years, could not help but look at the appearance of this friend carefully. Compared to my previous memory, he was now completely a handsome young man, his dark skin was covered by the gorgeous griffin-patterned armor. I really didn't expect that he would wear such a warrior decoration when he met the minister. The scar on his face since I first met him. The giant sword left by Lothar, and the mess that was tied with a simple head rope, it was hard for me to imagine that he was a king. This is far more difficult for people to imagine his true identity than the lord of Prodmore.

However, the people of Stormwind City, who had experienced bloody storms, seemed to be accustomed to this. Each of them was wearing armor. At first, I thought those people were guards. After careful observation, I realized that these were the ministers of Stormwind City. They were discussing some issues about the alliance and some diplomatic matters that they were going to face. Fortunately, they just started when I came, which means they could take this opportunity to peek at their personalities and their attitudes towards some politics.

I looked at the identities of these people carefully. Many of them seemed familiar. Because they had escaped to our royal city a few years ago, some of them could still be named.

I remember that at that time they all enjoyed the same treatment as Lord Lordean's ministers, so I took it for granted that since we gave them benefits, they should say something nice when discussing diplomacy with us. But the reality is just the opposite. When they just got the seat, two ministers who had greeted my father with a smile appeared and gestured to each other and began to tell some things that made me angry.

"There is a definite information that Deline's only daughter, Jaina, has a very close relationship with Alsace."

"Yes, and I also heard that Kul Tiras has completely turned to Lordaeron now... If Ultraland is included, I think even if I unite with other kingdoms, I can't compete with it."

I couldn't help but feel angry when I heard these two people's sow discord against our country's relations, but I thought of my identity and status that I couldn't do anything. But Luo Ning didn't agree. He smiled at me and wrote in the air what he wanted to persuade me.

"This is politics"

‘Yes, this is politics.’ Thinking of this, my anger dropped a lot, especially when I saw Vary’s face of being unstoppable and disgraceful. At this moment, I was too much worse than him in this aspect, so I suppressed my anger and my face turned into a calm like Varian.

"You want to say that it's because of fear of Lordaeron is a threat?" Varian asked with a smile, or his tone had already reflected doubts about the two ministers. However, this attitude did not make them both retreat, but insisted on their own point of view more.

"We Stormwind City are not afraid of any threats, even the tribes are the same..." When they said this, Luo Ning couldn't help but show a mocking expression. Everyone knew that this was talking lies with their eyes open. Although Stormwind City was strong, it was easily defeated by the tribe. But they had their own reasons for this. "If it weren't for the orc Garona, we would have been able to follow them under the city."

At this moment, Varian's face turned pale after hearing this.

I knew that the orc who had witnessed his father stabbing to death was a flaw in Varian's heart. Perhaps they wanted to use this method to compete for their tone and convincingness, but this behavior of achieving their political goals was caused by a minister next to Varian who I didn't know suddenly stood up and met.

"But in fact, the alliance tried its best to defeat the tribe." The minister refuted to them. I felt relieved to hear someone speak from the perspective of harmony between the two countries. However, Varian's doubts could not make them stop expressing their opinions, let alone the minister's words, but fortunately this person also insisted on his own point of view.

"The alliance was not united, they didn't do their best like we did."

"Dare you say that the Rapids Castle, Lordaern and Kurtiras didn't do their best." Another general who I remembered participating in the city defense battle with me refuted to them. "Did you forget the fierce battle at Lordaern?"

"That was forced..." The man still insisted on his point of view and then gave a more convincing reason. He had just talked about Varian's soreness, and this time he would mention it was Stormwind City... "Lordanen always wanted to push the battlefield away from them, and Kurtiras had only fought a head-on war in the endless sea, and he did not use his main force to participate in the six-level war with the tribe. If it weren't for the timely reinforcement of the Kurland Griffon Knights, those weak guys would have been buried in the sea long ago. We were always on the front line, and the later expeditionary forces had almost lost half of our army. They were all the elites who survived Stormwind City, all stayed in that world! We should leave the alliance like the Rapids Castle to form our originally orthodox Arachi Empire."

When the two people said this, the scene became silent again. Although the battle with the tribe caused Lordaeron to sacrifice a lot, if it was compared with Stormwind City, it was not of the same level at all. According to our information, including the sacrifice of the Expeditionary Force, Stormwind City lost at least 70% of the military and civilians. This country, which could have been compared with Lordaeron, suffered such losses. The difficulties were indeed difficult to tell, and just such a complaint was indeed understandable... Thinking of this, my hatred for those two people completely disappeared, and instead showed a sympathetic mentality.

The calm scene did not last long, and the minister I didn't know still refuted them.

"What are the benefits of breaking away from the alliance? Is it treason? Will Lothar want to see this if he was alive?"

"But the current alliance is not something we can dominate."

"Yes, that's because we're no longer the same," the minister closed his eyes in pain and then recounted his opinion. "But I don't believe Lordaeron would change his mind, nor did they do that kind of thing that puts things in the wrong, everything you said was just speculation."

"Times are changing, Ultrart has disappeared, and Kul Tiras will follow in his footsteps decades later. Maybe at that time..."

"Everything will be decided after we get in touch with them. As you said, Stormwind City will not be defeated." Just as the questioner wanted to continue, Varian interrupted him, and at first showed his refutation of the doubter, but the latter sentence was a comfort to the rejection of his opinion. In this way, the method of using both kindness and power convinced everyone. The scene gradually calmed down, but this only temporarily suppressed this emotion... I see I realized that perhaps this was the reason why they felt uneasy. The two great powers that once were on par, one became declining, and the other became powerful, which invisibly affected the subtle balance of their psychology. This is true for them. They gave them invisible pressure invisibly, and even no matter how much help they had given them, they could not be changed in essence. Perhaps this is one of the real reasons why the Rapids, known for their loyalty, left the alliance.

At this moment, another minister beside Varian who had no impression of me spoke. Although he seemed to be the youngest except Varian, everyone showed attention to his standing.

"I think we should consider our own problems first. The tribe of Black Stone Tower has a resurgence. According to some prisoners, they are summoning demons. If the situation is true, our Stormwind City will be in the brunt."

When he said this, everyone whispered in private. Varian showed a firm expression and gave him a positive reply, "This is the issue we should discuss with Terenas. Our economy is just starting, and we don't have much money or food to deal with large-scale operations. Their army should be allowed to participate in the crackdown on the orcs with us. After all, this is also for the alliance and our race."

Most people agreed with this decision. Although some people expressed their unwillingness to accept it, no one had a better opinion. After all, they were very aware that the current situation of Stormwind City was already in a miserable state. Thinking about the natural and pleasant mental outlook of King Ryan and his ministers who met in Rapidsburg when they were young, there was a world of difference now.

Perhaps the sad things passed after all, just like this topic, beside the bonfire, they continued to discuss other political matters within them. In addition to being able to understand their true situation here, I also recognized the identity of the young man and the middle-aged man decorated by the god knight. The former was Reginald, who was later promoted to the squad leader in the early stage of the war, until later with the heavy loss of the army and the non-commissioned officers and his outstanding personal abilities, he was finally promoted to the current marshal; and the other was the guy who made me feel some dramatic, the Regent of Belva who succeeded "me", during their conversation, I realized that this guy had been defending the territory of Stormwind City and fighting guerrillas with the orcs during the war, so I didn't see his appearance until now.

Being in this world for a long time has made me forget a lot of memories about them. For example, I can’t think of too much background for these two people, but I just vaguely remember that these two people are very important.

Just as I wanted to continue to learn more through their communication, Luo Ning suddenly grabbed my hand and instantly teleported me to a faraway place in the camp.

I was puzzled by his unauthorized actions, but what surprised me even more was that at this moment, I saw beads of sweat as big as beans were covered with Luo Ning's panic-faced face...
