Under the long-term influence of netizens from other worlds who were usually slanderous but could stand up at critical moments, Sharlayan gradually came into contact with many philosophical concepts that were not found in Azeroth.
For example, if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself, but if you are rich, you can help the world.
People are selfish, and there is nothing wrong with considering personal interests first.
But if he has room to spare while protecting his own interests, Sarlayan is willing to consider the overall situation from a higher perspective.
Sarlayan has decided to change his plan and set the battlefield in Draenor.
But he still had to attend King Varian's welcome banquet, just in time to see Ms. Presto, who had become a socialite in the Kingdom of Stormwind.
At the same time, in the throne room of Stormwind Fortress, the young king wearing a golden crown was frowning as he listened to the report.
"Nothing unusual?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A female thief whose whole body was wrapped tightly in black cloth and whose face was covered with a mask knelt on one knee in front of the throne and reported to Varian respectfully with her head lowered in a slightly hoarse voice.
"After entering Stormwind City, the three people first visited the city and then went to the Mage District to rent a mansion for a short period of time."
"Lord Deep Shadow occasionally goes out for a walk. His two female companions always stay in the mansion and rarely show up."
On the side of the throne, a white-haired one-eyed old man frowned and asked: "Pasonia, are you sure those two people are really staying in the mansion?"
Pasonia, the leader of MI7, glanced sideways at the old man who was questioning: "I saw this with my own eyes, Count Yangden, are you doubting my observation ability?"
Evel Youngden is one of King Varian's advisors, specializing in intelligence work, and is Partonia's direct superior.
Pasonia was personally recruited by Yang Deng. He knew very well the temper of this powerful leader of thieves. He shook his head and reassured: "I'm not questioning your ability, but you have to consider something extra. High elves are good at playing with spells."
,just in case……"
The pupils of Pasonia's eyes shrank: "You mean... illusion?"
Yang Deng stroked his beard and agreed: "It's not impossible."
"Um……"
Varian put one hand on the armrest of the throne to support his cheek. He pondered for a few seconds before waving his hand and saying, "Yang Dengqing, I know this is your professional habit, but there is no need to be too suspicious."
"The Dark Shadow Lord came through the regular channels of Quel'Thalas. He will also accompany the expeditionary force across the Dark Portal and fight on the front line of the war."
"Such a martial noble, I don't think he would deliberately use any twisted ideas against the Kingdom of Stormwind."
Yang Deng thought for a moment and agreed with the king's analysis: "That's true. I'm too sensitive."
Varian smiled and smoothed things over: "After all, this is your job, and it is your caution that has allowed me to escape the villain's plot more than once."
Yang Deng's single eye flashed with a cold light, and he clenched his fists and said angrily: "Sooner or later, I will have to... those damn moths..."
Varian raised his hand to stop Yang Deng's words, and glanced around the kingdom hall with a thoughtful look.
"Huh~"
Yang Deng understood what Varian meant and tried to calm down.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I overstepped my bounds."
"It doesn't matter."
Varian sighed silently: "The Kingdom of Stormwind has finally gotten back on track after many hardships. Now the kingdom is in dire straits and is waiting to be revitalized. Is it any wonder that some moths want to take advantage of the chaos and make little moves?"
"Yang Dengqing, Xiao Erqing, I hope you will continue to be loyal to your duties as always. The safety of Tiffin and I will be left to you."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
…
Varian had just turned 18. In order to prevent the Wrynn royal family's bloodline from being cut off due to an accident, after returning to the country, at the urging of the nobles, Varian officially married the noble girl Ti who had been engaged to him since childhood.
Finn Ellienne is the queen.
According to the information Valeela discovered, Queen Tiffin was born into a small noble family, and the family fiefdom was located in the once fertile western wilderness, now known as the Western Wilderness.
The Western Fertile Fields used to be the largest grain-producing base of the Kingdom of Stormwind. After the Kingdom of Stormwind was conquered, the ferocious orcs uprooted the food crops in the fields, leaving not even the seedlings. As a result, this fertile land was abandoned for several years.
After Varian led the nobles and people of the Kingdom of Stormwind back from the north, they have been busy rebuilding Stormwind City. Before they could spare the manpower to take back the Western Wilderness, even Elwynn Forest, the core of the kingdom, was not yet fully under control.
Valeera: "According to the information I have learned, perhaps due to the conflict of views caused by the class gap, the relationship between King Varian and Queen Tiffin is not good, and both sides are dissatisfied with each other."
Sarlayan scratched his head in confusion and asked the barrage in confusion: "This is different from what you said. Didn't you say that Varian loves his queen very much?"
[This is not a conflict. It is strange for two young people to rashly marry each other without any emotional foundation, and to play piano and harp as soon as they meet.]
[Varian will work with Tiffin Milli in the future, but this does not mean that their relationship will be perfected right after they get married. 】
Tiffin, who was born into a minor noble, knew nothing about royal etiquette and politics. Instead, because of his daily contact with the family business, he had a lot of experience in how to build good relationships with common people.
Varian has been in a high position since he was a child and does not know the sufferings of the people. Queen Tiffin's knowledge can just make up for his lack of knowledge.
But that will have to wait until the relationship between the two is in place. At least for now, Varian and Tiffin are still at the stage where they dislike each other.
If the information provided by the barrage is correct, Queen Tiffin will become Varian's good wife in the future.
Unfortunately, Queen Tiffin died young due to a conspiracy planned by Onyxia.
After losing his beloved wife, Varian gave up on himself for a long time. He drank all day long to drown his sorrows and ignored government affairs. His originally gentle temper became increasingly violent.
"Onyxia again."
Sharlayan touched his chin and pondered: "If Onyxia is captured in Draenor, the future of the Kingdom of Stormwind is likely to change dramatically. Is this good or bad?"
[It is still difficult to say for certain. Due to the intervention of your family, the history of Azeroth has undergone many changes. 】
[Instead of being timid, it is better to take the initiative. We will provide you with the necessary information, which can avoid the situation from going in the worst direction to the greatest extent. Follow your heart and do it boldly. 】
Sarlayan was not a person who looked forward and backward to begin with, so he made up his mind after only hesitating for a moment.
"Done! People's destiny should not be determined by external forces. Our future must be controlled by ourselves!"
…
The Kingdom of Stormwind has just regained some of its strength, and money is needed everywhere.
Compared with the extremely extravagant banquet in Quel'Thalas, the welcome banquet held by Varian seemed a bit shabby, and therefore attracted the dissatisfaction of many nobles who wanted to take the opportunity to have a good time.
Sarlayan didn't care about the size of the banquet. With Valeela's help, he changed into a more formal dress.
Valeela and Stellagosa, who were also dressed up, held Sarlayan's hands on the left and right, and the three of them walked onto the red carpet together and officially entered the banquet venue under the reception of the waiters.
King Varian, wearing a crown and a luxurious dress, and Queen Tiffin, who kept a slight smile on her face, came out to greet them.
"Lord Deep Shadow, welcome to Stormwind City."
"I am the king of the Kingdom of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn, and this is my queen, Tiffin Elian Wrynn."
Although Sarlayan was not interested in the complicated aristocratic etiquette, he had learned it carefully before and returned courtesy to Varian.
"It is an honor to be entertained by you, King Varian."
"I am Sharlayan Deep Shadow, and on behalf of the Sun King Anasritria Sunstrider, I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations to the Kingdom of Stormwind for its successful restoration."
Varian smiled and nodded: "Thank the Sun King for my kindness, you three, please."
In the impression of most humans, high elves are very playful, and the richness of Quel'Thalas allows them to enjoy life far more than humans.
But Sarlayan was an outlier among the high elf nobles, and he had no interest in what those human nobles suggested.
As the protagonist of the banquet, Sarlayan has been discussing the world situation and future development with Varian, which makes the nobles who hope to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the high elves feel bored.
Valeela and Stellagosa integrated into the circle of noble ladies under the introduction of Queen Tiffin.
When Sarlayan attracted a lot of attention as the center of the banquet, the two finally saw the charming Ms. Presto in person.
Valeera, Stellagosa: "We must not let this dangerous woman seduce Sharlayan!"
Sarlayan: "???"
"Can you... can you create a channel to chat privately?"
