Chapter 686 The Wind Rises in Lordaeron

Sarlayan: "I can sneak. It's not that easy for those who are not prepared in advance to catch me."

The little white cat arched its back and was ready to eject. At this time, the footsteps outside the hall could be clearly heard.

'Prepare.'

After signaling to Caliya with his eyes, Saraian listened attentively to the two rhythmic footsteps approaching the study door.

Before the two men knocked on the door, Caliya walked out of the study and met the two inspectors who were about to walk to the door.

As Jalia said, the two priests and mages responsible for inspecting the harem are both women.

And he looks quite young.

At this juncture, Sarlayan was in no mood to judge their looks and age.

'It's now!'

Before the two people reached the door, they turned their attention to Caliya. The little white cat turned into a white shadow and squeezed out of the study window that was opened a thin crack.

"Um?"

The slight sound of the window being squeezed open caught the attention of the two inspectors.

"Princess Calia, is there anyone else in your study?"

Caliya's heart tightened, but she smiled and shook her head: "No, the wind probably blew the window open."

The existence of the little white cat Sarlayan,

No one knows except Princess Calia's two personal maids.

And these two maids are Caliya's confidants,

The mouth is very strict,

I won't talk nonsense everywhere.

The two inspectors did not delve deeper. After all, they could not imagine that someone could break into the palace boundary that had been reinforced several times without permission.

The little white cat sneaked away from Caliya's palace and immediately sped up, bypassing the prosecutors along the way, and hid in a remote palace that was rarely visited by people.

After confirming that there was no one around, Sarlayan transformed into a raven form again, grabbed the letter with Calia's magic power and took off.

Originally, Sharlayan planned to say hello to the head of the intelligence agency thief lurking in the royal city of Lordaeron and then set off to return to Quel'Thalas. However, when he spread his wings and flew near the stronghold in the civilian area of ​​​​the royal city, he unexpectedly discovered that the situation was a little strange.

Something's wrong.

This stronghold was handed over to the Defense Intelligence Agency by the Backlight Blade. It is a daily grocery store opened by the local people of Lordaeron in the royal city.

The boss and his wife are both in their 40s. They were absorbed by the Backlight Blade as peripheral members of the organization more than ten years ago. They have been providing Quel'Thalas with first-hand intelligence from Lordaeron for many years.

The couple had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son and the second son were both admitted to the Royal Academy of Magic in Quel'Thalas for further studies due to their merit.

He announced that he was going to Quel'Thalas to expand his business.

The 10-year-old daughter and the 1-year-old son stayed in the store to live with their parents. The family was living a very stable life...at least that's how it seemed on the surface.

When Sarlayan returned to the grocery store,

Unexpectedly, I discovered that several officials from Lordaeron were interrogating the two couples who looked miserable.

Sensing something was wrong, Sarlayan immediately let go of his perception.

As expected, there were no more intelligence bureau thieves in the stronghold.

'Coincidence? Or was someone exposed?'

Judging from the expressions of the couple,

The situation doesn't seem too serious.

The hostess was still holding her young son in her arms, and the male host was also holding his daughter, who had an uneasy look on his face, and did not let Quel'Thalas' intelligence officers send them away.

The stronghold was temporarily unsuitable for settlement, so Sarlayan simply changed direction and flew out of the city.

When Onyxia lurked into Lordaeron before, based on her professional knowledge and experience, she deliberately established a backup temporary stronghold in the town of Brill on the outskirts of the city.

After arriving in Brill Town, Sarlayan finally found the Intelligence Bureau thieves who had disappeared without a trace from the city.

"Daniel, report the situation. Has anyone been exposed?"

Sneaking into the basement of a tavern, Sarlayan immediately appeared and asked questions to the thieves who were gathering around to discuss things.

The leader of the thieves, Daniel Hunter, was originally a member of the Backlight Blade. When the Defense Intelligence Agency was established, he voluntarily transferred his affiliation and was appointed as the person in charge of the Intelligence Agency in the Royal City of Lordaeron.

Daniel shook his head: "No, it's just that Terenas suddenly went crazy."

"Oh?" Sarlayan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tell me in detail."

Daniel shrugged: "I heard that Terenas was furious during today's court meeting. Not long after the meeting, he ordered the thieves from Lordaeron's Intelligence Department to closely investigate the 'rats' planted by various countries in the royal city."

"Strict investigation...after the imperial meeting? Ha~ so that's how it is."

The corner of Sarlayan's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"It's just now, don't you think it's too late?"

Daniel asked in confusion: "My lord, do you know some inside story?"

"That's right."

Sarlayan withdrew his unnecessary expression and said sternly to Daniel and the others: "In today's court meeting, Princess Calia, who has never expressed her opinion, stood up for the first time and stood clearly on the side of the Lord Harmony Faction.

The peace talks were directly finalized.”

"For Terenas, Princess Calia's change was a bit too sudden. He might suspect that someone is secretly encouraging his daughter... although in fact this is indeed the case."

Daniel looked stunned: "What do you mean by this...do you mean?"

For the sake of safety, Sarlayan did not tell the members of the Intelligence Agency, including Daniel, about sneaking into the palace of Lordaeron.

Now that he has escaped from the palace, there is no need to continue to hide it from them.

"As you guessed, I must have been hiding in Princess Calia's palace for more than half a month."

"Wow~"

Quel'Thalas has always adhered to liberalism, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not rigid during non-mission periods.

After learning that Sarlayan had been lurking in Princess Calia's palace for more than half a month, many people whistled on the spot and showed meaningful expressions on their faces.

Sarlayan complained angrily: "Put away your associations. In order not to expose my whereabouts, I have been in animal form during this period. Nothing like what you imagined happened."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The thieves just made a joke to lighten the atmosphere while being nervous, and laughed off Sarlayan's explanation without delving into the authenticity of this passage.

Daniel did not participate in the booing of his men. He dragged his chin with one hand and thought: "Is Princess Calia going to be okay? She is the highest-level insider we can win over."

Sarlayan shook his head: "Before I left the palace, Calia was called over by Terenas and scolded her, but it was harmless."

"After this face-to-face refutation, the decline of Terenas' influence is visible to the naked eye. Coupled with his physical problems, Terenas will not be in power for too long."

"The next year will be the focus, so please listen to me."

Sarlayan said to the elite intelligence personnel present with a serious expression: "If my prediction is not wrong, in the next year, Lordaeron will fall into more serious internal turmoil due to the dispute over the reserve."

"During this precious period of time, the Central Intelligence Agency will issue new instructions to you at any time to ensure the smooth flow of the intelligence network."

"If the time is too urgent and there is no time to report... Daniel, His Majesty Kael'thas has granted you the power to make decisions at the last moment. Timeliness is the priority in everything, but you must carefully consider the pros and cons before making a decision."

"Remember, all your decisions represent the Sun King and our homeland Quel'Thalas."

Daniel's expression suddenly became solemn, and he bowed respectfully in the direction of Yonge Forest.

"I will keep Daniel Hunter in my heart and thank His Majesty the Sun King for his trust."

After explaining the follow-up matters, Sarlayan walked out of the portal with the assistance of the mage from the Intelligence Bureau.

Watching Sarlayan's back disappear through the door, one of the intelligence officers said with emotion: "The battle for the reserve...Fortunately, His Majesty Kael'thas has no brothers and sisters, so we don't have to worry about this problem."

Another person shook his head: "It is not necessarily a good thing to pass on a single lineage. What if... In short, there are pros and cons to spreading the branches."

"Okay, guys."

Daniel clapped his hands to signal others to quiet down: "You have all heard that in the next year, our tasks will be very heavy. Everyone must be very alert to me and must not let down His Majesty's trust!"

"yes!"

Daniel suppressed his inner excitement, walked out of the underground secret room, walked to the first-floor window of the single-family house, and looked up towards the direction of the Royal City of Lordaeron.

"Lordaeron, which has been static for a long time, is finally going to get windy. I don't know who can have the last laugh under this strong wind."
