As a middleman, Li De took the initiative to introduce both parties.
Because Buck, who transformed into a human form, was wearing a red robe that was not gorgeous, Li De specifically pointed out that his identity was "the descendant of the queen", which can be compared to a prince or a grand duke of the human race, in order not to misunderstand the leaders.
Dragons despise mortal races.
Terenas and others quickly paid tribute to Buck, and Buck said a little embarrassedly that you don't need to be nervous about his identity. He is not yet 10,000 years old and is relatively young among the Red Dragon Legion.
This made the leaders even more stunned. Ten thousand years old is longer than the history of the human race!
The informal meeting went very smoothly because there were quite a few people present, so we talked about a lot of things that should have been included in the formal meeting.
These include: defining boundaries for the dragon's rights and responsibilities to interfere in the world, and defining levels of crisis events that occur in the world.
For example, the previous invasion of Azeroth by the orcs was an invasion of civilization from another world - the local civilization was in danger of being destroyed. Such an incident was classified as a "Level 2 crisis event".
The "first-level crisis event" above this is the most dangerous situation where all life is in danger of extinction and the original power is destroyed...
Among them, when it comes to how to divide native civilization and non-native civilization, Li De specially proposed to use the Gate of Darkness as the boundary:
Before the Dark Portal, the [existing] civilizations that existed on Azeroth were all native civilizations. After the Dark Portal, there is now only one tribal civilization in the world of Azeroth.
Everyone, including Buck, was a little surprised, thinking that Li De was unnecessary.
Only Li De knew best that from ancient times, humans, dwarves, and dwarfs, the descendants of Titan creations, could not be regarded as local civilizations. Even the guardian dragons were transformed from the original civilization by the power of the outer Titans.
The native life "Ancestral Dragon" transformed into a guardian dragon.
After millions of years of evolution, these descendants of Titan creations have become inseparable from Azeroth. There is no need to pit them against ancient groups such as trolls and elves.
Everyone thought it was useless, but Li De said it was useful. Since a treaty was to be signed, it must be as rigorous as possible.
Later in the conversation, someone suggested that the races in the world should also be divided into a hierarchy. This was categorically opposed by Li De.
If this is really done, large-scale racial slavery will inevitably occur in the future. This way, there is no need to wait for foreign enemies to invade, and Azeroth itself will be in chaos first.
The meeting lasted for three hours, and they finally discussed matters related to rescuing Queen Alexstrasza. When Li De asked if the Red Dragon Legion had selected enough manpower for the rescue team, Buck shook his head in distress.
"There is no shortage of strong people in the world, but whether they can be absolutely trusted requires careful examination.
But you are an exception. The Red Dragon Legion has absolute trust in you. Lord Cleostraz would like to invite you to help us as a member of the rescue team."
Li De nodded.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty the Prince, but we need to hurry up on the selection of personnel. Today's meeting went relatively smoothly. There is reason to believe that the Alliance and the Dragon will be able to successfully establish diplomatic relations in a few dozen days."
This matter does not require Li De's urging. Red Dragon is definitely more eager to rescue the queen.
The day after Buck left Lordaeron, Lid went to visit Uther.
"Teacher Fa'ao believes that the Silver Hand and you can become close comrades, and I trust the teacher's judgment. However, this involves the honor of the Silver Hand and the purity of the Holy Light, and I will have my own judgment.
I may not transfer these 60 paladins to Alterac at once, I hope you and Marshal Lothar can understand this."
As soon as they met, Uther expressed his views openly and honestly. Li De had no doubts about this, but he also expressed his request, that is, when drawing up the list, he hoped to choose as many paladins from common people as possible.
The siphoning effect of the most powerful nation in the League of Lordaeron on talents is now showing signs in the Knights of the Silver Hand.
After joining the Silver Hand, almost all of the newly promoted paladins from various countries became the new population of Lordaeron, and their ties with the old local nobles became increasingly closer.
So much so that more than ten years later, all the famous paladins who emerged had the status of noble lords without exception.
Eliteization caused a considerable number of Paladins to break away from the grassroots, and also laid hidden dangers for their subsequent internal divisions.
Uther was a little surprised as to why Li De made such a request. Li De's explanation was that children from peasant families had simple personalities, which would make it easier for Lothar to manage him in the future. Uther didn't have too much doubt.
Two days later, the first batch of Paladins was selected. There were only thirteen people in the group, and the leader of these thirteen people was Saidan Dathrohan.
Dathrohan is one of the five earliest Paladins and is also Uther's trusted lieutenant. For now, Uther still hopes that after arriving in Alterac, the Paladins can also maintain a certain degree of autonomy.
Dathrohan is the most powerful among the Silver Hands, and is also the tallest, over two meters tall. He has outstanding military exploits in war, and has a high prestige among the Paladins.
Looking at Dathrohan, who was a full head taller than him, Li De was also in a daze standing next to him. It is really not easy for humans to grow close to the height of trolls.
It's just that although this Dathrohan is powerful, he is very simple at heart, or to put it bluntly, he is simple-minded.
His impulsive character also harmed himself in the future. He fell into the trap of the Dread Lord and was possessed by this twisted devil, causing great damage to the future paladin group.
Of course, for now, this Dathrohan is still the real Dathrohan, and his death will be more than ten years later.
Now he is accompanying Li De back to Alterac, which is undoubtedly the best arrangement. Such a big man with integrity and simple mind can be the most determined warrior as long as his mind is guided and armed.
The first group of paladins had been selected, and Reed was preparing to leave for Alterac tomorrow. However, at this time, Talanji found the yard where Reed was renting.
"Protector Li De, have you forgotten the friendship between us?"
Talanji's first words made Li De confused. He asked himself that he and the other party had never done anything inappropriate, so why did she sound so resentful?
"Princess Talanji, can you explain it more clearly? I don't understand what you mean."
Talanji looked a little unhappy.
"It is not a good habit to pretend to be stupid. Zandalari was the first partner to cooperate with you. But since arriving in the Kingdom Continent, you seem to have forgotten about us Zandalari. It is such an important matter to establish diplomatic relations with the dragon.
But you excluded the Zandalari."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Li De realized that he was in a big embarrassment. In fact, it was not Li De's fault for misunderstanding. It was Talanji's words that contained ambiguities.
In Troll language, I, we, an organization, and even a country can all be shortened to the same pronoun.
But despite this, Talanji did not notice his embarrassment, but Li De still began to reflect.
He is almost thirty years old and has reached the age of starting a family. Maybe it is time for him to start a family. Otherwise, why would he feel a little delicate looking at Talanji?
Li De himself was startled when he thought of this, and he shook his head violently to expel this outrageous thought from his mind.
"Protector Li De? What do you mean by shaking your head?!"
Talanji was already a little sullen, and Li De quickly explained.
"It's like this. This contact with the dragon involves some of the dragon's interests in the Kingdom Continent. That's why we only invited a few stakeholders from the Kingdom Continent to negotiate.
If Zandalar also wants to join, the Aspect Dragon and I would welcome it.
However, I think it is better to ask His Majesty the God King for instructions on this matter first. After all, Zandalari has its own profound traditions, but dragons should still be cautious when approaching them.
But I assure you that the establishment of diplomatic relations this time is by no means the end, and will definitely continue to be extended in the future.
If His Majesty the God King and the kings Loa can approve it, I will try my best to promote it."
In fact, it is not that Li De has forgotten Zandalar. Li De had considered Zandalari before when he was doing system design.
However, after careful consideration, Li De believed that he could not initiate this matter on his own initiative.
Trolls are a highly religious race. In their world view, they have animism, and all great beings can become Loa.
Wild demigods can be called Loa, and dragons can also be called Loa.
The negative impact of this is that many trolls may mistakenly believe in evil gods. In history, the faceless man Jixix who was killed by Amani actually woke up from his slumber because he was mistaken for Loa.
After the Gurubashi believed in the blood god Hakkar thousands of years ago and brought great pain to the world, Zandalari were actually cautious about whether to add Loa.
Contact with a powerful creature like a dragon would inevitably lead to the formation of a new sect, which would also likely arouse resentment among the existing Loa.
In that case, Li De, who took the initiative to raise this matter, would be regarded as harboring evil intentions, and a major diplomatic conflict would brew, possibly leading to a war.
But Li De didn't expect that Talanji would take the initiative to find him.
Even though Talanji approached her, Li De did not agree to her easily. Perhaps after coming to the outside world, he successfully dealt with the Amani problem and established a consulate in Lordaeron, which made Talanji feel restless.
, the handling of diplomatic issues has gradually become sloppy.
"Okay, I will discuss it with my father."
Talanji couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Although she didn't think twice about this matter, she actually had her own reasons.
The Amani and the High Elves have now ceased fighting, but everyone knows that war will definitely break out one day in the future.
Zandalari is not ready now. Once it is fully prepared in the future, Zandalari will inevitably side with Amani.
Talanji saw the fighting power of the dragons. If the dragons and humans sided with the elves in future wars, Zandalari would lose its advantage.
So in her opinion, in order for humans and dragons to remain neutral in the future, Zandalar must enter this new diplomatic rule.
