Everyone around was dumbfounded. This happened so suddenly. It was like a thunder. There was no warning before.
It wasn't until Shandris hugged Li De that everyone reacted, and then a loud shout broke out.
Shandis finally woke up from a dream and let go of Li De. At this time, she finally couldn't care less about being shy.
Although it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, Li De had indeed considered it carefully.
Compared with other political leaders, Li De can be said to enjoy the greatest freedom. He can decide his marriage according to his own wishes, just because Li De has an absolutely lofty status as the protector of Hanhai.
But after all, Li De cannot have absolute freedom. He can decide on his own marriage partner, but he cannot completely decide on the time of marriage.
He is already thirty-three years old, and he has indeed reached the age to start a family. For the Hanhai Protector, this is not only a personal problem for him, Li De, but also a major event for the stability of the entire political situation.
Although Li De is still young and powerful, if the issue of successor is full of uncertainty, it will always be a sword hanging over a country's head.
So after the two wars between the elements and the Zerg ended, Li De decided that he must complete his marriage within this year.
If Li De doesn't worry about this matter, other senior officials of the Hanhai Protectorate will naturally worry about it for him.
When the Goblin War just ended, Terenas had proposed the idea of a marriage between Lordaeron and the Protectorate of the Vast Sea. Although it was later declined by Li De, many people among the top officials were indeed moved by this idea.
Even after Noggenfogg was released by Kezan and returned to the country, he was encouraged by them to test Li De's ideas.
Now that Li De's proposal to Shandis has been successful, it can be considered that he has completely eliminated the thoughts of some people on the matter of marriage.
He changed his direction and informed everyone that there is no need to sway back and forth over marriage and route matters, and that he can focus on more important undertakings in the future.
At this stage, the Hanhai Protectorate has in-depth cooperation with the night elves on Azerite and Feralas. It is indeed a good time to marry Shandris at this time.
Of course, Li De didn't think too much about this, because he believed that relations between countries could never be decided by just one marriage.
In political alliances, political marriage can only be the icing on the cake, and it can never be the final word.
So when it comes to marriage, Li De decided to follow animal instinct.
Talanji on the side still felt a little sad, but she soon adjusted herself.
Essentially, Talanji and Reed are very similar, they are the same kind of person.
Talanji has made up his mind that he will not let this incident affect the next century's plans of Zandalari and the Protector of the Vast Sea.
Of course, besides that, Talanji is still a bit sour.
When everyone unanimously expressed congratulations to Reed and Shandris, Talanji also generously expressed congratulations to Reed—obviously the congratulations did not include Shandris.
“Congratulations on completing a major event in your life. Please rest assured that this will not affect the cooperation between the two countries. I don’t like politics and other things to be mixed together.
In some ways I prefer to follow my animal instincts.
It's just that I didn't expect that I was wrong about you. It really disappoints me that your aesthetics is also the same as mine. I don't think I lost to her in terms of sexual attraction. There must be something wrong with your aesthetics."
After saying that, Talanji left in a relaxed manner, leaving Li De there with a wry smile. Such a princess who spoke astonishingly and uniquely was not something that ordinary people could tolerate.
…
The news of Li De's successful proposal to Shandis spread faster than growing wings, and spread throughout the entire Hanhai Protectorate in an instant.
The whole country was in an uproar, and everyone was happy for Li De, including those who had previously intended to marry Li De to Lordaeron.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess the people who support the marriage with Lordaeron. They are Haggard, Brad, Anderson, Van Cleef, etc., as well as Nogfogg who values practical interests.
They did not think this way to control Li De, but rather based on the actual interests of the Hanhai Protector.
Lordaeron is the most powerful country in the Human Alliance, and the Vast Sea Protector is the most cutting-edge country in the alliance. If these two countries unite, the future is immeasurable.
Furthermore, these people still have a dream of unifying the human race hidden in their hearts.
Of course, the above is only their most ideal structure. The starting point is definitely to hope that Li De will start a family as soon as possible to make the country more stable.
The news spread to every corner and there was joy.
When word reached the army, the soldiers banged their shields to join in the fun. Some of these troops were part of the Old World Allied Forces that had not yet completed their evacuation. They were originally complaining because they were ranked behind, but now they are grateful to have evacuated before other comrades.
late.
Some of them even thought that it would be better to return home later so that they could catch up with the excitement of a wedding.
Lao Chen, who is still temporarily in charge of the army, is even more happy. Ever since Bwonsamdi saved the undead to help him untie his knot, Lao Chen has returned to his former fat body. Now he has even ordered a banquet for the entire army.
Also give yourself some supplements by the way.
…
As for other places such as the ancient city of Petra, Karl, who was still a little confused, curiously asked several shamans.
"Why is everyone so happy that Li De is getting married to an elf? Is mating and reproduction such a joyful thing for flesh and blood life? What is the experience like?"
The three shamans all burst out laughing. Before the gentle Nobundo could speak to the steady Drek'Thar, the old cow Muen grabbed his long beard and said.
"Rebirth is a very sacred thing. The continuation of flesh-and-blood life is essentially different from elemental life. The continuation of elemental life is just a simple copy.
The original individual of flesh and blood life is not as powerful as the elemental life. It is very laborious to copy it by itself. However, the flesh and blood life is extremely intelligent and chooses to combine with others. The two individuals work together to create a life.
And precisely because of the introduction of others, the offspring will never be exactly the same as their parents.
So will the offspring created in this way that are different from their parents surpass their parents or what? This is full of uncertainty, which can be said to be a gamble or a great adventure.
Flesh life relies on countless such adventures to make continuous progress over hundreds of millions of years, so do you think rebirth is an extremely sacred thing?"
Karl still couldn't fully understand what Munn said, but he still nodded in understanding.
"I understand, Teacher Muen, after all, this is a very sacred thing!"
The three shamans laughed again.
…
When the news reached the new guests, the Kaldorei experts all felt as if they were eating their own food.
The kaldorei girls immediately started chattering among themselves, and even Aerys Star Chaser, who had a calm and serious personality, was not immune to this.
"Do you think the sisterhood will agree to this?"
"It's hard to say, but the possibility is still very high. The cooperative relationship between the two companies is so good now."
"Why do you care so much? We all have to work here from now on. This matter has nothing to do with us."
"Do you think there are better men outside? Shandris is so good that he has been attracted away? Should we..."
"What are you so arrogant about..."
The girls' conversation was so lively that it gradually began to get out of shape.
…
Everyone was immersed in this joy, but no one knew that on the other side of the ocean, in the old continent, the undercurrent began to surge again.
