Chapter 599: Mountains are still mountains, water is still water
Children of aristocrats come from superior families and receive elite education since childhood.
Although we do not rule out the possibility that overly superior living conditions may breed good-for-nothing dudes who only know how to enjoy themselves, most nobles who have not yet reached the third generation of wealth still retain the spirit of hard work and forge ahead and want to further consolidate their family's status and influence.
force.
In life, all you want is fame and fortune, and Sarlayan is not immune to this.
However, the benefit Sarlayan seeks is to protect the country and the world from disaster.
The name he seeks is the righteous fame and influence that calls on all races in Azeroth to unite.
Sharlayan has never considered himself to be a great and upright person. There is inevitably selfishness in what he does. He just wants to protect the people and things around him from the countless turmoil in Azeroth.
Compared with those short-sighted people who only care about immediate fame and fortune, Sarlayan has broadened his horizons through his travels in Azeroth and the guidance of barrage, and expanded his pursuit of personal fame and fortune to the country and even the entire world.
The captured nobles were nothing more than frogs in a well to Sarlayan.
They don't understand the outside world. They sit in a well and look at the sky, thinking that the scene they see represents the entire world.
For those who only know how to forage in their own territory, the pattern will naturally not be much bigger.
The reason why Sarlayan publicly arrested these behind-the-scenes instigators and executed them in public was to encourage the nobles who had been wavering in their stance to make up their minds and take this opportunity to submit their respective letters of surrender.
If they are still stubborn, Sarlayan will not do anything to them, but they will definitely not be allowed to ride on this express train of economic development.
He has traveled all over the world, witnessed many secrets of Azeroth's ancient times, and even had close contacts with the mysterious Titan Guardian.
Sarlayan's vision went from seeing mountains as mountains and water as water, to seeing mountains as not mountains, and water as not water. It has gone through a reincarnation, and now it has returned to the realm of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water.
Although there is no difference literally, the realm is completely different.
The fledgling Sarlayan was no different from these frogs in the well. He believed that Quel'Thalas was the center of the world and that everything would revolve around the Eversong Forest. He valued everything that happened in this country more than anything else.
After leaving Quel'Thalas to travel, Sharlayan began to look at the world, self-righteously despising those short-sighted people who only knew how to focus on the one-third of an acre in the country.
Among them was Anastria, the Sun King at that time.
After going around in circles for several years, Sarlayan returned to the starting point, washed away all his mistakes and started again. Only then did he realize how narrow his past ideas were.
When he first left Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan was focused on strengthening his own strength and ensuring that no one could dominate him.
After seeing the demons and monsters hiding in every corner of Azeroth, and fighting hand-to-hand with the demons of the Burning Legion and the lackeys of the Old Gods, Sharlayan gradually realized a truth.
In the face of a general trend that can destroy the world, the power of an individual is so small. Even the powerful demigods of the wilderness and the guardian dragon cannot reverse the overall situation by themselves.
This has been confirmed in the ancient war thousands of years ago.
If he wants to protect Azeroth and all the important things around him, he must mobilize the power of the entire world and unite all those who want to protect the world.
However, Issalayan's current strength and influence are far from enough to unite the will of all defenders of Azeroth. They can only start from home and make steady progress step by step.
Blacksmith need its own hardware.
Sarlayan grew up in Quel'Thalas. Even though this country is full of pride and prejudice, and there are many hidden dangers due to historical issues, Sarlayan still wants to realize his ambitions from here.
The son does not think the mother is ugly, the dog does not think the family is poor.
No matter how many shortcomings Quel'Thalas has, it will always be his hometown, an irreplaceable hometown.
Just like the elders said, since you can't stand the current Quel'Thalas, you might as well transform it into what you want to see.
Fortunately, on this road that is destined to be very difficult, Sharlayan also has a like-minded companion - the contemporary Sun King, Kael'thas Sunstrider.
Before Anastria abdicated, he laid the foundation for Kael'thas. The power that Kael'thas just took over was far greater than any other Sun King in history.
With great power and great efforts, Kael'thas immediately began to modernize Quel'Thalas.
Although the reform process is still relatively slow due to the interference of some stubborn forces, ordinary people can at least see the changes taking place in Quel'Thalas with their naked eyes.
These unlucky guys captured by Sarlayan are undoubtedly one of the last struggles of the stubborn forces of the old aristocracy.
Sarlayan had also mentioned to Danmaku before that there were many people among the ranks of nobles who secretly defected to the old nobles.
After the decline of the old aristocracy, most of the losers came back, but there are still some stubborn people who cling to the past and refuse to see any changes in Quel'Thalas.
These people are harmful to Quel'Thalas, which is determined to reform, and are remnants of the old era stuck in the gears.
You need to clean them up if you want to move forward.
As Dailin said, in order to lure out these die-hards, Sarlayan adopted the method of fishing for law enforcement.
After dropping a bombshell at the last conference, Saryan immediately hid abroad on business, but he had actually been controlling the changes in the domestic situation remotely.
As expected, this trick deceived those with evil intentions, and they were captured by the well-prepared travelers in one fell swoop, with no way of denying them.
Under the professional torture that Valeera learned from the Backlight Blade, these guys with weak willpower revealed everything about their employer in front of everyone.
"Da~"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sarlayan gently snapped his fingers, and the backlight blade thief who had been sneaking in the corner of the venue suddenly attacked, and very accurately knocked down those nobles who had ulterior motives.
On the ground.
The sudden appearance of the Backlight Blade made the nobles present panic. Sarlayan clapped his hands unhurriedly to attract everyone's attention.
"Please don't panic, these people are sent by His Majesty to protect us."
"As long as you don't do anything that harms the interests of Quel'Thalas, the Backlight Blade will not harm you."
Some of them recognized the leading thief.
"You... aren't you Villeless?"
"Sure enough, this action was authorized by the Sun King."
"Hey~ You have done something wrong, you will not live."
Villes was also a member of the nobles. In order to ensure that no fish slipped through the net in this operation, Kaeltha specifically asked him to personally lead the team.
Villeless nodded to the nobles present with a calm expression: "Everyone, long time no see."
"Just like Sarlayan said, as long as you are not committing any crime, the Backlight Blade will not specifically target you."
Among the upper echelons of Quel'Thalas, the existence of the Backlight Blade is no secret.
The Backlight Blade belongs directly to the Sun Chaser royal family, and they would never dare to act without permission from the Sun King.
"let me go!"
The white-haired old nobleman who had glared at Sarlayan before was struggling hysterically under the restraints of the thieves.
"You guys who are blaspheming the traditions of our ancestors have no right to judge me! I want... ugh!"
Villes punched the old man in the abdomen with an expressionless expression. The severe pain made the other man's face turn blue and he was speechless for a moment.
"Lord Alex, it is not your turn to say whether His Majesty's reforms violate the laws of our ancestors. Don't forget, His Majesty the former Sun King is still here."
Lord is a general term for nobles. Except for the most noble Duke, nobles at all levels can be called Lords.
This old man named Alex was only the lowest-ranking baron. Due to this guy's crooked attitude, Kael'thas did not promote him to the title when he ascended the throne.
Under the gaze of some people who were gloating about their misfortune and others with complicated expressions, Villeless swiftly and resolutely took away these nobles who were secretly causing trouble.
These nobles who committed crimes will be brought back to Silvermoon City and handed over to the Noble Tribunal under the Ministry of Justice, which is a special institution established to judge nobles.
After Villes left, Sarlayan smiled and waved to everyone present.
"It's just a farce. It disturbs everyone's interest. Please sit down and the meeting will start again."
Sarlayan had a formulaic and plain smile on his face, and glanced at everyone present as if unintentionally.
"After more than a week of preparation, everyone must have thought about it."
"Those who are willing to join the harbor development plan please raise their hands. Those who are unwilling to join will not be forced to do so. Let's all get together and go."
