After the Battle of Grim Batol, a somewhat distraught Valeera followed Kael'thas back to Dalaran.
The mission to rescue the Red Dragon Queen is over, and Vereesa plans to return to the battlefield. She is worried about her younger brother Lylas, who is fighting alone on the front line.
Ronin clumsily tried to retain Vereesa, but perhaps because they were not the only two people involved in the rescue operation, the two failed to establish a deep enough bond.
In the end, Alexstrasza arranged for Vereesa to be transported to the front line of Blackrock Tower by a red dragon. Ronin could only watch Vereesa leave helplessly, unable to think of a reason to keep her.
After rescuing the Red Dragon Queen, Krasus fulfilled his promise.
When Kirin Tor Speaker Antonidas returned from Lordaeron, he immediately stood up and publicly accused Modera of ostracizing his foreign colleagues, and provided tangible evidence.
This evidence comes from Valeera, the little black piece of cloth she obtained originally.
Antonidas was dubious about Crassus' accusation, while Modera was frightened and angry.
She never expected that Krasus, who had always stayed out of the situation, would stand up and speak for Kael'thas, who was alone in the parliament.
Antonidas confirmed through reverse tracing spells that the black-robed female mage was Modera's apprentice, and the one she trusted and valued most among all her apprentices.
The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.
Antonidas was very annoyed with Modera's little actions, and was also a little dissatisfied with Krasus and Kael'thas' disregard for face.
In the end, he suppressed his anger and impartially used the authority of the Speaker to order Modera to shut herself up and reflect on her mistakes. She was not allowed to participate in any decision-making in Dalaran for one year.
Seeing Modera accepting the punishment with humiliation on her face, Kael'thas, who had a clear idea, held his head high and submitted his resignation to Antonidas on the spot, followed closely by Krasus.
Two alien Kirin Tor councilors resigned at the same time, and Antony Das suddenly felt like his head was as big as a bucket.
Doesn't this clearly declare to everyone that the fair treatment of mages of all races advertised in Dalaran's laws is pure fart?
Antonidas, who had a splitting headache, began to reflect on whether he had been too tolerant to "Modra" before.
But what has happened cannot be undone, and Kael'thas and Krasus have decided to leave.
Kael'thas responded to Anastria's call and returned home to begin preparations to take over the throne.
In order to personally take care of the frail Red Dragon Queen, Krasus decided to hand over all the contacts and resources he had managed in the mortal world to Luoning for many years, and then returned to Wyrmrest Temple to always be by the Queen's side.
He did not want his lover to encounter the same suffering as this time in the future. If it did happen, Crassus would rather die instead.
Knowing that Kael'thas was about to prepare to take over, Antonidas felt his scalp numb as if he had been struck by lightning.
The actions of Modera and other humanists may lead to a serious diplomatic dispute.
If it offends the already extremely arrogant high elves... Dalaran's foreign trade revenue will drop by at least 30%.
This is a real loss of interest, and it is no longer just a war of words between Kirin Tor councilors.
On the day Kael'thas left Dalaran with great fanfare, an angry Antonidas increased the punishment on Modera.
Modera's parliamentary powers were completely frozen, and within five years, Modera's mages were not allowed to participate in politics in any form.
The archmage resources allocated to her in Dalaran will be significantly reduced accordingly until relations with Quel'Thalas are normalized again.
"Ha~ So this kind of thing happened."
After learning about the recent events in Dalaran from Catherine, Sarlayan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
[If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?]
[Modra has caused big trouble this time. She probably didn’t expect Kael’thas’ reaction to be so violent.]
[Kael'thas has lived in the human world for many years, and his arrogant edges have been smoothed away a lot. Modera thought that this good gentleman was easy to bully, but she didn't expect that this time he kicked him against the titanium alloy steel plate. ]
[There are only 6 members in total, 2 have resigned, 1 has been suspended for a long time, and 2 are away fighting. The polished commander Antonidas is going to have a headache now. 】
[Perhaps, Ronin, who inherited Crassus’s “assets”, will take over.]
[It is very possible that rescuing the Red Dragon Queen this time has made a great contribution and reversed Luo Ning's poor reputation in Dalaran. 】
[Coupled with the connections and resources left by Krasus, if Luo Ning can't get there, Dalaran, a magical city-state that advertises freedom and democracy, will be completely hopeless. 】
Sarlayan ignored the barrage message for the time being, as Catherine had not finished speaking.
The first half mainly talks about the changes in Dalaran, while the second half is directly related to Sharlayan.
"Prince Kael'thas greatly commended your contribution after returning home, but it attracted the dissatisfaction of many nobles of Quel'Thalas."
Catherine did not add any personal color in her description, and told the facts objectively from the perspective of a bystander.
"After the prince returned to the country, the conflict between the royal family and the Silver Moon Council completely intensified. The two sides were at loggerheads with each other over the content of the reward given to you, Valeera Sangunar, and Vereesa Windrunner, and they refused to give in."
Catherine sighed helplessly: "Now is the time of war. I really hope Quel'Thalas can focus more on chasing the tribe."
Catherine's words left some leeway and did not ridicule Quel'Thalas for engaging in internal strife at this time.
If it were an orthodox high elf, he might have glared at Catherine who spoke with profound meaning.
But Sharlayan was originally dissatisfied with Quel'Thalas' existing dual political system, and he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to Quel'Thalas, so he just shrugged calmly.
"It's an old problem. The conflict between the royal family and the parliament...or the traditional nobility is not new. It's just that the return of the prince has stimulated those old guys who thought they had hope of victory, and they started to get angry and jump over the wall."
Catherine smiled noncommittally: "As an outsider, my suggestion is that you'd better not return to China for the time being to avoid getting involved in this large-scale political struggle."
"correct."
Catherine suddenly remembered something and added: "Vereesa Windrunner is still fighting on the front lines and has no intention of returning home to receive her reward for the time being."
"But another hero who participated in the operation to rescue the Red Dragon Queen, Valeela Sangunar, has recently become the center of the storm."
"In order to protect her from being harmed by the traditional nobles, Sun King Anasteria temporarily sent her out of Quel'Thalas on the grounds that she had an important mission."
"According to the information sent back by our messenger, the thief lady has received your letter and should be secretly rushing to Kul Tiras at this moment."
"Uh~"
Sarlayan's mood was a little complicated, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a smile flashed in Catherine's eyes as someone who had experienced this.
'It's great to be young...'
Before leaving, Jaina waved her little hand to say goodbye to Sharlayan, Orfa and others.
"I will come again when I have a chance, just wait for me~"
Watching Catherine and Jaina take off on a snow-white royal griffon, Olfa retracted the formulaic smile hanging on his lips.
"You also heard that your road in the future is destined to not be easy. While there is still time, continue to strengthen your strength."
"Follow me. Since Jaina is here during this period, your training has been slackened. It is time to increase the amount starting from today."
"...Relaxation?"
Sarlayan couldn't help but rolled his eyes: 'You really dare to say that letting me risk killing the troll general with an unskilled attitude is called slacking off?'
Orfa: "What are you muttering about? Come up and follow me!"
