Chapter 6 .All-knowing and all-powerful mourning.
Theramore’s meeting room was silent.
Watching Ironforge Laila hurriedly leaving under the guard of the guards, the expressions of the remaining envoys also changed somewhat. Old Fording’s eyes were relieved with a touch of complexity, while Princess Kalia closed. With the eyes closed, from the hands she clasped on the clothes, you can see that she is in pain now.
When Dick said that he had a way to make the entire civilized world come up with strength to support the Northern Expedition, Kalya felt bad from his farewell tone. As a mature ruler, Kalya knew this kind of bag. Tickets are not so easy to play.
For example, even with the relationship between her and Dick, the Paladin saved her life more than once, but after incorporating the factors of kingdom, rule and prestige, she still had to acquiesce to Sir Mornes. Quietly weakening the authority in Dick’s hands, the garrison of the northern fortress has changed twice since the battle of the quicksand, and the paladin officers of the Silver Dawn accounted for a lower and lower proportion of the Theramore’s army. This happened to her. Things under the nose.
She and Dick are definitely worthy of their lives, but unfortunately, this is politics. When thinking about problems from the perspective of the future queen of Lordaeron, the best she can do is one day After a conflict broke out and Dick was defeated, let him die.
She and Dick are like this, not to mention other forces.
To put it bluntly, when Dick’s actions affected the internal stability of Kaldorei, the loosest political system, even Tyrande, who was also saved by Dick, would have the idea of expulsion. This is not an exaggeration. After the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the station of the First Expeditionary Force was the farthest from the valley of Mount Hyjal, and it was the first to evacuate. This has proved all this.
Step into this circle, don’t think of white hands anymore.
What Dick is doing now is precisely to provoke this tolerance. Whether it is Dai Lin or Magni, they will not willingly use their strength to support an action far in the sky. But Dick forced them to do this. It is conceivable that after this incident, Dick’s position in the minds of these rulers will fall to what point.
He was clearly using the prestige and character he had accumulated over the years, and his detached position in the civilized world in the future, to help Lordaeron and the Northern Expeditionary army overcome the current difficulties.
No wonder he was so attentive to Anduin’s promotion ceremony this time, no wonder he submitted an application for the revocation of the Northern Earl a few days ago, and even surrendered the command of Silver Dawn.
He even paved the way back for Princess Kalia. After this time, he probably plans to draw a clear line with Lordaeron. Maybe from today onwards, he won’t be able to hear it again. The name of Dawn Knight, he will be completely forgotten by the angry monarchs, even attacked, and eventually ruined.
Kalia has seen many such tragic heroes. She never thought that Dick would one day take this road, which also made the princess Kalia firm a certain inner thought.
But right now, Dick’s “performance” is still going on. The sound of his cane tapping on the ground is regular, clattering, and then he comes to Quel’Thalas’ envoy, Haduron Mingyi. , The ranger lord’s face was a bit ugly. As Dick’s former comrade-in-arms, he felt that he no longer knew what expression to treat Dick with.
But the words of Prince Kael’thas echoed in his head before leaving. In the end, Harduren could only look at Dick with an expressionless face. Before he could speak, Dick raised his hand. Interrupted something Hadulun wanted to say,
“Hadulun, we killed the enemy together on the battlefield, so we don’t need to say any more polite words. Let’s contact Kael’thas. I have news about Syndra if he still knows what that word means. He will understand how to do it.”
Hadulun was also from a prominent family, he was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Dick with an unbelievable look.
“Don’t be kidding! Dick! Syndra perished as early as seven thousand years! They disappeared on the journey to Feralas, and the remaining demons wiped them out. It’s impossible.”
It’s not just Harduren who is surprised, even the night elf sentry commander Barnes who sits opposite can’t help but stand up, leaning forward slightly with a serious expression.
“This joke is too much, Knight Dick, Villings of Syndra… that hero from the War of the Ancients, you shouldn’t be kidding him!”
“hero?”
Dick glanced at Barnes meaningfully. This Moonblade Assassin also serves as the role of the night elves in contacting Theramore, so the two of them have a good personal relationship, but on this occasion, Dick’s mouth surged. Weird smile,
“When Tyrande allowed the Kaldorei civilians to squeeze out the people of Dath’remar and Syndra, why didn’t you see you stand up and say that they are heroes? Come on, Barnes, don’t think I don’t know you Feathermoon. Why did the garrison of the fortress stay in Feralas for thousands of years? Do you dare to swear to the Moon God that you don’t know the news of Sindra’s descendants?”
This rare tough counterattack made the Sentinel Commander speechless, especially when Harduren saw his hesitation. The Ranger Lord immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and he left his seat without looking back, deeply. He glanced at Dick,
“I’ll call Prince Kael’thas right away! Dick…you’re playing too much this time.”
Facing Hardulun’s complaint, Dick curled his lips and shrugged.
“No way, who made me come this far.”
“Hey…”
Hadulun finally sighed and turned to leave. This time, the audience was shocked. Even the most unbelieving Overlord Saurfang had an unconcealable suspicion in his eyes when he looked at Dick.
But Dick ignored these different gazes, he sighed, put the pipe back in his arms, and looked at the gloomy Barnes.
“I heard that the night elves recently planned to plant the seeds of the third world tree in the sea of mist to move some of the night elves’ civilians, right? You seem to call it “Teldrasil”?”
“boom!”
Barnes couldn’t help it anymore, and knocked his fist on the table. This good-tempered commander was going crazy. Let alone the descendants of Syndra, the night elves had concealed that secret for thousands of years. Now it was pierced in full view, and the matter of Teldrassil, the Moon God was on top, only the Kaldorei high-level officials and the archdruids knew about that matter! And Barnes can guarantee that no one will spread such a big event!
Dick… Is he really omniscient and omnipotent?
“Oh, it looks real.”
The Paladin touched his beard, and he gave Barnes a big smile, “Go contact Malfurion and Tyrande, I have a big secret to tell them… as long as they can afford it!”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Barnes to reply, he stretched out a finger and shook it.
“Answer cautiously, Barnes, my friend, this is related to the lives of at least one third of Kaldorei’s population.”
A few minutes later, watching the sentinel commander leave with a sullen face, Dick seemed a little tired. He looked up at the remaining representatives with different expressions.
“I’ll just say it straight, the rest of you, Marshal Windsor, I ask Stormwind City to send troops to support the Northern Expedition on the condition that I help you find the complete King Varian.”
“Warlord Saurfang, your son, Draenorth, Grom’s son Garrosh, your brother’s niece Sola, Kilrogg’s son Yorin, and Shuyazong who brought you up Mother, yes, don’t be so excited, my friends, they are not dead, I use this news in exchange for your support, if it is not enough, I can find a way to let you meet, this is the ultimate I can do. ”
“In the end, it is you, Warlord Rokhan. Darkspear is the exile of Stranglethorn Vale. I know you want to regain your own territory, but it is a pity that Jindu, the high priest of Zul’Gurubri, may not give you this opportunity. And I heard that they are summoning the evil **** Hakkar recently. From the look in your eyes, I can see that you have heard this name, right?”
Dick took two quaint troll slabs from Jaina, shook them in front of the troll warlord Rokan, and finally turned around and said to everyone remaining in the hall,
“I am not omniscient and omnipotent, but now I need you to use your strength to support a completely just cause. Please note that this is not a request. After Lordaeron falls, you will be the next one. If what I say is right If it’s not important to you, then you can choose to stand by!”
Dick’s voice fell, and the whole meeting room was silent until another slender voice broke the calm. It was the representative of the Goblin Consortium, Garewitz, the superb goblin engineering master with funny engineering goggles on his head. Some dissatisfied standing on the chair and slapping the table,
“Hey hey hey, Dick knight, I haven’t heard anything about the goblin consortium. Do you think the power of goblin is dispensable? It’s wrong to think that way! Hot Sand Group, Bilgewater Chaebol or even As a venture capital company, we have far more power than…”
“At least ten rare mines in the newly built Kingdom of Lordaeron, and a quarter of the business circle of the entire Theramore Territory, this is my bid!”
Dick sat back in the chair, folded his hands on his chest, he looked at Garowitz, who was no longer yelling, with a smile on his tired face.
“Accept this deal?”
“Fifteen mines, half of the quota!”
Gallowitz’s small eyes were wide, and he swears that this is definitely the biggest deal he has talked about since his debut. He seemed to see billowing money rolling towards him, but he still gritted his teeth. The price has been increased again. After all, the Bloodsail Pirates are going to be over. It is not a simple matter to find new financial resources and to persuade several princes of trade.
“It’s really greedy! But, the deal!”
Dick took off the ring from his finger and threw it to the happy goblin. Then he laughed and left the meeting room with Jaina’s support. He walked so smartly, letting the Buddha get rid of all the shackles, and was about to win the whole The world is the same.
Old Fording was the second to leave. His upright spine seemed to buckle a little. When he reached the gate, the old knight looked back and shook his head. Finally, he strode out of this place and suffocated him. Hall.
The third one to leave was Princess Kalia. When she stood up, a nobleman from Stormwind who came with General Windsor stood up politely.
“His Royal Highness, regarding Prince Anduin’s return to the Kingdom of Stormwind…”
“I am in a bad mood right now. You can talk to Anduin directly about this matter.”
“But your Highness, this will affect the decent and…”
Princess Kalia had a rare temper. She directly waved her hand to interrupt the embarrassed nobleman, and looked at the silent old marshal, adding to her tone.
“I don’t think it would be a good thing to let Anduin live in a country full of cowards. Keep your dignity. Our former allies, even if they are alone and helpless, Lordaeron will survive until the last man falls. ”
“I hope you can remember Dick’s words. When Lordaeron falls, you will be next.”
