Chapter 264 How can you do a good job in politics with the insects
Sarlayan has already learned a lot of information about Elisande through the barrage.
No matter how outrageous her actions were, Elisande's actions were aimed at giving Suramar a brighter future.
But the advisory group she was entrusted with did not meet her expectations.
Not to mention cooperative management, the consultants were constantly fighting among themselves, spending all their energy on internal friction, and not many decisions that were beneficial to the Children of the Night were passed.
Although Melandus has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, his loyalty to Elisande is unquestionable.
Seeing the anger in Elisande's eyes, he ignored the dizziness in his mind and knelt down on one knee to apologize to Elisande.
"Grand Magister, I admit that out of resentment towards the Chief Arcanist, I made a mistake regarding Valtroy."
The fire master Sarlayan interrupted with a half-smile: "It's just Valtroy? Such a sophisticated method of eliminating dissidents is obviously not the first time it has been implemented, right? Don't avoid the important and take the easy."
Elisande glared at Sharlayan, who was madly in flames, and said, "Prince Kael'thas, please take care of your people. This is my internal affairs of Suramar."
Kael'thas looked at Sarlayan with a smile: "Salayan, keep your mouth shut and let the great magister handle this matter himself."
"Okay~ I shut up."
Sharlayan yawned lazily, and held Quel'Sera inserted into the ground, pretending to be dozing off.
This unflattering attitude made Elisande's advisers furious.
But the lessons learned from Melandus's mistakes were still fresh in his mind, and the advisors whose strength was on par with the chief magic swordsman really didn't dare to casually stab Sarlayan.
It's okay to win, but to lose to a junior who is less than a hundred years old... it's embarrassing.
The consultants' lack of blood and cowardice made Elisande's blood pressure rise, and it took a while for her to calm down.
"Tel'an, you speak first."
"What's wrong with the exile rules I made? Why are there such unjust, false and wrongful convictions as Valtroy's?"
"this……"
The half-human, half-plant chief botanist had an embarrassed look on his face.
Since the upper elves have always looked down upon civilian professions such as druids, Tel'arn's status in the advisory team is not high, and most of the time he is just a marginal member of the advisory team.
Melandus and Thalyssra are both involved, Fandos is still suppressed by Elisande, and only Tel'arn and the astrologer Etraeus are left.
No need to ask, you know that Etaeus will definitely side with Melandus, Fandus and other nobles, and if you ask him, you will definitely not get an objective answer.
In contrast, Tel'an, a marginalized person, can stand in a more neutral position and describe the details of the incident impartially.
Subconsciously glancing at the dark-faced Etaeus and Fandus, Tel'an swallowed nervously, and finally told the story of the incident under Elisande's repeated questioning.
Seeing Elisande's face getting more and more ugly, the three ultra-conservatives Fandos, Etaeus and Melandus all felt that something was wrong.
"Whoa!"
The extremely angry Elisande suddenly took action, imprisoning Melandus who was half kneeling on the ground and the anxious Etaeus, and threw them together with Fandos.
"I asked you to preside over the banishment ceremony so that most of the people of Suramar can obtain sufficient supply of magic power, not so that you can take this opportunity to exclude dissidents and line your own pockets!"
Elisande's plump chest could not help but rise and fall, and her fire-breathing eyes glared at the three insects who did not dare to look at her.
Money and power have never been inseparable.
To the upper elves as the ruling class, money is just a number and a currency. What they value more is the resources they can buy with money.
In Suramar, magic wine is the most important resource, even more important than food.
Today, more than 60% of the major magic wineries in Suramar City are under the name of three insects who are crazy about making money.
Among the three, Etaeus is relatively restrained. He only joined them to obtain more precious resources for studying astrology.
This method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is not uncommon among scholarly arcanists, and it is also a reason for greed that Elisande can barely tolerate.
Melandus still has awe of Elisande in his heart. He plays the role of acquiescence in this underground organization and half-assedly supports the organization by relying on the power of his magic swordsmen.
The person who really took the lead in creating the alliance of monopolies was undoubtedly the ambitious Fandos.
There are outsiders at the scene, so it is inconvenient for the family scandal to be publicized.
Elisande took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down her rapid breathing rhythm.
"Take the three of them down and put them in a noble prison."
"yes!"
More than a dozen magic swordsmen lifted Fandos and three other people who were unable to move, and left the scene in three steps and two steps at a time.
When the held Fandos passed by Sarlayan, Sarlayan suddenly twitched his nose, and he seemed to smell something.
'This smell...is a bit familiar.'
Elisande did not give Sharlayan a chance to think deeply and initially solved the internal problem. She quickly changed the subject and asked Kael'thas: "Your Highness, Prince of Quel'Thalas, escort Thalyssra into the city.
It shouldn’t just be to help her King Qin, right?”
Kael'thas smiled and said: "Yes, I also brought important news related to the future of the Children of Night."
Kael'thas waved his hand to simulate a seed in the form of energy.
"This is the tree species of Arcandor, the Miracle Tree. It is the result of research by an academic organization called the 'Guardians' during the Dark Night Empire."
"Arkandor aims to use gentle natural energy to mediate uncontrolled arcane power and fundamentally cure the magical addiction that all highborne have."
Hearing this, Elisande's face changed drastically, and he stared directly at the energy body seed in Kael'thas' hand.
"Is this true?"
Kael'thas dispersed the shadow of arcane energy and nodded: "My archmages have conducted preliminary tests, and the mature Arcandor has a high probability of achieving the desired effect."
"Now there is only the last Arcandor tree species left. It will take an extremely long time to cure all the upper elves just by relying on the fruit of this tree."
"Our Archmage is discussing with the last member of the Guardian Organization, Farodin the Valley Walker, about the mass production of Arcandor."
Under Elisande's expectant gaze, Kael'thas spoke confidently: "The growth conditions for the Miracle Tree are very harsh. According to the calculations of the local Moon Guard leader Serana, Suramar is qualified to plant it.
There are only two magic network nodes in Kandor."
"One of them is located at the magic network hub of Shal Ellan, and the other..."
Elisande added knowingly: "The Nightwell?"
"correct."
Elisande did not think that the high elves would give Arcandor to the Nightborne for no reason. Kael'thas must have wanted something when he released such a tempting target.
He narrowed his eyes lovingly and asked cautiously: "What does Quel'Thalas want from Suramar?"
"It's very simple."
Kael'thas' face showed a soft smile like the warm winter sun, and he extended his hand to Elisande in a friendly manner.
"We want to gain the friendship of the Nightborne and survive together in the increasingly turbulent Azeroth."
After meeting many Azeroth races, including humans, dwarves, night elves and gnomes, Sharlayan came to a conclusion.
Compared with other countries, Quel'Thalas does have unique advantages in many aspects.
But relatively speaking, the people of Quel'Thalas are undoubtedly more difficult to serve than other countries.
The arrogant high elves have an instinctive rejection of "inferior races" such as humans and dwarves, so as a half-elf, Sarlayan had to fight against the sky, the earth, and the air when he was young.
Cooperating with the night elves, who have a history of fighting for tens of thousands of years, the opposition voices within Quel'Thalas are not as loud as when they first chose to join the Alliance.
There are only so many countries in the Eastern Kingdom. Lordaeron and Dalaran decided to wear a pair of trousers and plan to walk into the dark together.
Thanks to Sharlayan's efforts, the high elves have reached a relatively close and comprehensive cooperation with Kul Tiras, and maintained cooperation with Gilneas, Stromgarde, Ayrie Mountain, Khaz Modan and Gnomeregan.
Business dealings.
After experiencing the War of Quicksand, the high elves took the opportunity to reconnect with their ancient compatriots, the night elves, who had taken root in Kalimdor.
And because of Sharlayan's help to the tauren, he established a good relationship with Thunder Bluff, which was under construction.
Azeroth still has many threats hidden in the dark. It is difficult for Quel'Thalas alone to solve them independently. Winning more allies is one of the important national policies recognized by the Sun King and Prince Kael'thas.
.
As both descendants of the Highborne, the Nightborne Shal'dorei are very suitable allies for Quel'Thalas in all aspects. This is also the main reason why Prince Kael'thas is willing to come personally to perform diplomatic missions.
