Among the four people in front of them, Calpurnia and Solanlian are civil servants, and Mattis and Petra are generals. Among them, Calpurnia, who is specialized in diplomatic work, is the most eloquent.
The other three people consciously gave up the right to speak to Calpurnia. This young lady with long black hair was full of witty words and explained clearly the purpose of the four people's visit in a few words.
As Sharlayan expected, the four nobles came here specifically to understand Kael'thas's attitude through him.
The four powerful nobles today are all people who are inclined to cooperate with the royal family, but this does not mean that they will watch the Sun Chaser's butcher knife chop on their heads without resisting.
Calpurnia's language art is indeed very good. She explains her own attitude and flexes her muscles in a subtle way.
She let Sharlayan know that if forced to fight to the death, the four nobles could also cause considerable harm to the royal family, and it would be the next best thing to lose both sides.
In fact, there is no need for Calpurnia to remind Kael'thas' advisory group that they have already assessed the cost of completely falling out with the four nobles.
The conclusion is...that is pain that Quel'Thalas should not have to endure.
"I understand what you mean."
Sarlayan smiled calmly and said: "I will convey your thoughts to His Majesty Kael'thas. As for what he will ultimately decide...that is not something I can know."
Calpurnia also responded with a smile: "This is enough. Now Quel'Thalas is at the junction of tradition and change, and the four nobles are also willing to contribute to His Majesty's innovative ambitions."
Calpurnia was not blindly tough, nor was she blindly submissive. While she showed her support for Kael'thas's reform ambitions, she also expressed that the four nobles still had their place to play.
This professional diplomat knows how to advance and retreat. She knows that Sarlayan doesn't like those meaningless social rhetoric. After saying the business, she left with her three companions in a free and easy manner, leaving Sarlayan alone in the small garden.
Enjoy a moment of silence.
The moment spoken of here is truly literal.
After the four people left, someone who had been hiding in the shadows with disguise finally came out.
This person is none other than Sarlayan, a fellow fisherman who has no interest in the party, ranger general Sylvanas.
At the last celebration banquet, Sylvanas came to the banquet on behalf of the ranger general Leleza, who was unable to get away at the time, but this time she was invited as a ranger general herself.
The reason why Bisarayan came to the garden to meet up so late was because Liresara, who was attending the meeting as a member of parliament, stopped her to chat with her briefly.
Sylvanas looked at the backs of the four people leaving, and asked Sarlayan with a cold expression: "Are you okay? What are these four guys here for?"
Sarlayan smiled nonchalantly: "In order to understand the political trend after the new king ascends the throne, I also want to express my loyalty to the new Sun King through me."
Sylvanas is not interested in political games at all. If she has time for intrigues, she might as well shoot hundreds more arrows on the training ground.
The barrage said that Sylvanas was scheming and far-sighted, but Sharlayan couldn't see any trace of her at all. Instead, she exuded a silly and steely temperament.
This may be due to the different growth environment and experiences that have different impacts on the same person.
Sharlayan thinks this is a good thing. After all, the bad facts that Sylvanas experienced in the original history were not very good, and they forced a straight woman into a scheming bitch.
The deaths of Liresa and Lyras were averted due to Sharlayan's intervention, but Sylvanas still had a major disaster to overcome.
According to Barrage and Sharlayan's plan, the Scourge will eventually take shape, but I don't know if the Lich King Ner'zhul will still attack Quel'Thalas for the Sunwell.
Knowing that it was a political consideration, the hidden concern in Sylvanas's eyes quickly disappeared, and her expression became even more indifferent.
"Whether you are active or passive, you will eventually embark on this path that you did not like."
Thalayan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of astonishment. He remembered the topic they discussed when he and Sylvanas met in the small garden last time.
"Ha~ people change."
Walking to the edge of the garden platform and overlooking the still bustling Silvery Moon City from a height, Sarlayan said with some emotion: "I was young and vigorous at the time, and knew very little about the operating rules of the country and the world. I thought I could rely on
A passion changes everything."
"As the saying goes, those who don't know are fearless. Those childish angry youth comments made at that time are quite interesting now that I think about it..."
An unknown smile appeared on Sylvanas's face: "Isn't it interesting? So this is how you view your own changes."
Sharlayan used the eagle eye technique to try to find Valeela, Stellagosa and others among the crowd, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.
"Stop talking about me, what about you?"
Looking back, Sharlayan looked curiously at the second daughter of Windrunner who still maintained the orchid temperament of the empty valley.
"I guess Lireza is urging you to decide on a partner as soon as possible. Is there really no one you like?"
The smile on Sylvanas' face suddenly froze, and she turned her head to the side with an unnatural expression.
"...How do you know?"
Sarlayan glanced at the barrage in a funny way. At this time, these troll netizens were sending subtitles such as "The urge to get married is too real" and "Parents in the world are just as bad as each other".
"Isn't that what parents are like?"
Sarlayan explained with a smile: "No matter how old the children are, they will still worry."
"Now that Alleria is no longer around, Liresa can only care about you, Veresa and Lilas."
"Vereesa and Lylas are still young, and you..."
"Um?!"
Sylvanas's eyes suddenly became sharp, and Sharlayan, who felt the "murderous intent", hurriedly raised his hands in a military salute of a certain country.
"Ah, yes, yes, you are still young, it was a slip of the tongue."
"Ahem~ In short, the three of you each have your own ambitions, and each other's careers are developing fairly smoothly, but emotionally..."
"Compared to Veresa and Liras, you who are 'same' young are always a little older than them. Who else can I miss if Liras doesn't miss you?"
Sharlayan deliberately used an accent on the word "same", which unsurprisingly earned Sylvanas a blank stare.
"Mind your own business, take care of your wings first, don't let them get tangled and knotted."
"Uh~"
This time it was Sarlayan's turn to have a stiff expression. He looked up to the upper platform with wandering eyes, and happened to see a cheerful face from the window with the word "gossip" written all over it.
'Kael'thas! What are you doing!'
The corners of his mouth twitched and he winked at Kael'thas, who had a good-looking expression on his face. Kael'thas, who happened to be ventilating through the window, smiled and shook his head and retreated.
"Cough~"
Tactics coughed, and Sarlayan pretended to be calm and said: "Are you talking about Valeera and Stellagosa? I'm actually worried that they have too good a relationship, and in the end they optimized me out."
Sylvanas looked puzzled: "Optimization?"
[Oops! Sarlayan accidentally said another popular word from another world, which confused Shiva. 】
【Pink scent! More!】
[…Where did you see the pink color? Isn’t this just normal bad friends complaining about each other? 】
[Don’t ask, asking is just looking at others with dirty eyes.]
Sharlayan and Sylvanas are both very busy people and don't have much time to get together and chat throughout the year. They just took this opportunity to exchange experiences after parting with each other.
Sylvanas actually has nothing to say. She just trains her subordinates in the military camp, improves herself, and leads the army to go to war when the country needs it. The only thing worth talking about is the battle of Zul'Aman.
However, Sarlayan was also involved in the entire war, so it was not a valuable source of discussion.
As a soldier and a general, Sylvanas naturally hopes to have more opportunities to make contributions to the country.
She took the opportunity to question Sarlayan about the matter.
"From your perspective, will Quel'Thalas still have a chance to fight in the next few years?"
"have."
Sarlayan said categorically: "And there are quite a few of them. Just wait patiently. There will be a time when the Ranger troops are needed."
Sylvanas is not someone who likes to ask questions. Now that Sharlayan said so, she immediately chose to believe it because of her upright temper.
"That's good. I'm afraid that without the threat of trolls, the ranger troops will be completely shelved."
"If you don't get actual combat experience for a long time, no matter how sharp the arrow is, it will get rusty one day."
Sharlayan smiled meaningfully: "I do want peace, but since the invasion of the orcs, Azeroth has entered a period of turmoil."
"The time of peace is short-lived after all. Sharpen your sharp arrows and be ready at any time. There will be opportunities for you to expand the territory of Quel'Thalas."
Sylvanas's eyes flashed: "Is it interesting to expand the territory..."
