"I had to take care of Arthas first. The relationship between me and him had to be stabilized so that the old guys could rest assured and I would have the opportunity to implement my city-building plan. So for Halloween that year, I was fully prepared." Jaina paused at the key point.
"With a Polymorph and a little makeup, I made a girl next to me become my substitute. The wine they drank had already been added with special ingredients. And I used the invisibility technique to hide aside and cast Illusion Spell on the two people who were having a fierce battle in the room. Stop revealing the truth. In the end, Arthas believed that I spent the night with him." Jaina smiled, "Thanks to the magic, I can continue to resist the damn fate. Of course, after that night, everyone was satisfied. Including the fool who thought he loved me to death."
"That's it, she is usually one of my maids. On necessary occasions at night, she is my stand-in. It perfectly makes the old guys believe that Arthas and I have entered the finals, and things are developing according to their planned trajectory. But I will never give in." Jaina said the last sentence fiercely.
Jaina continued to laugh and said, "Within a few weeks, that fool got tired of playing and was no longer interested in me. After all, "I" was just a female mage who was rigid and uninteresting. There was no better secret garden than the beautiful secret gardens inside and outside the palace of Lordaeron. And he also felt that he had completed the task assigned by his father, even if he didn't He made me pregnant, and I couldn't live without him. So I said that I'm not ready yet, and I'll distract you because you have homework, etc. Then he safely kicked me back to Dalaran so that I wouldn't be an eyesore to him in Lordaeron. Do you think that a young and handsome prince will only have me as his princess lover?"
"And I came out pretending to be heartbroken, but that fool didn't know that returning to Dalaran was exactly what I wanted. They didn't expect that when I went to Stormwind City to attend the Arthas ceremony, I exchanged contact information with Varian. We decided to put on a show. A good show that would benefit both parties."
Deren asked strangely, "Why does Varian have anything to do with it here?"
Jaina looked at Deren strangely. "You didn't notice the strange things in Stormwind City? For the king, are Regent Duke and Noble Council considered fun things? They are both sharp swords that pierce the royal power."
Deren smiled bitterly, "Indeed, every time I think about Regent Duke and Noble Council, I always feel weird. So Varian chooses to cooperate with you?"
"Yes, after Varian learned that I returned to Dalaran, he made an excuse and invited Antonidas to take me to visit Stormwind City. Last time Onyxia said that she had seen me at Stormwind City's banquet. It should have been that time." Jaina said.
"Then what? How did Varian use you to take back power from the nobles and regents?" Deren asked.
Jaina smiled and said, "The thing is actually very simple. He arranged a chance for me to be alone with him, and then let the nobles' spies see it. Then he sent people to spread rumors that the king of Stormwind City was planning to marry Princess of Kul Tiras. This Let Stormwind City's nobles blow up their nest. They finally weakened the king's power through the regent and Noble Council. If I marry Stormwind City, it also means that Kul Tiras becomes a powerful foreign aid to the royal family. This is definitely not something they can accept."
Deren also laughed, "This move definitely hit the point of the nobles. In order for Varian not to marry you, they must have paid a heavy price."
"Of course, Varian consolidated his power and became a strong king. And I also received a lot of benefits." Jaina smiled proudly.
Deren asked, "What's the benefit? Is it financial support?"
Jaina shook his head. "It's not just a little money, there is something more precious than money! Those rioting masons, poor people who were expelled and persecuted. Some of them were unwilling to join Defias Brotherhood, but they had nowhere to go. Varian secretly sent these people to my subordinates. Later, in order to establish Theramore made great efforts. During the establishment of the city, Varian also transported materials to Theramore through the Stormwind City port. It can be said that without the support of Stormwind City masons and Varian, Theramore would not have been established."
Deren asked hesitantly, "Didn't you say that the masons rioted and accidentally killed Varian's queen? Varian should have a grudge against them, right?"
Jaina explained, "The masons' riot was, on the surface, a conflict between the nobles and the masons. Don't you think about the royal family's position in it? Why did the queen appear at the scene?"
Deren held his chin and thought for a moment, "The royal family wanted to intervene in the conflict between the masons and the nobles, use Stonemasons' Guild to suppress the power of the nobles and increase the prestige of the royal family. But the nobles were more ruthless and directly took advantage of the chaos to murder the queen, turning the conflict into hatred between the masons and the royal family."
Jaina gave another thumbs up. "Yes, Varian suffered the disadvantage of being mute and could not break up with the nobles. He could only swallow this bitter pill, but he still found a way to protect some innocent masons. Your Black Dragon transformed into Katrana and played a lot of role in the mason riots? Varian actually always knew it."
Thinking of the bad things Oni had done at Stormwind City, Deren's head hurt, and she was afraid that one day someone would come to collect debts. She could only wave her hands and say, "She just It's an inducement, jumping up and down, and other nobles are following the trend. Tell me about you, with the stonemason, the mage, and the support of Varian, you went to establish Theramore?"
"Yes, in other places, such as Eastern Kingdoms, all good seaports have owners. Only Theramore was still a wilderness at that time. I took Dalaran's followers and Stormwind City's masons to build a city from scratch." Jaina recalled with emotion.
"When we first landed, there was nothing. What greeted us were Murloc and Naga on the tidal flats. Dragonkin in the swamp also visited the initial settlement from time to time. Due to the lack of products, everything needed to be imported from overseas, Theramore's economy was in trouble for a while. I also hesitated whether to give up. Fortunately, my mother has been secretly supporting me with the funds generated from her private property. She helped me get through the most difficult time. Varian also helped me from time to time. Finally, I made it."
Deren listened quietly without speaking.
Jaina thought for a while and continued, "Later, I was ordered to investigate the Lordaeron plague with Arthas. I met the survivors of the Stratholme incident. Prophet asked me to lead They crossed the sea to Kalimdor. My Theramore also needed people. So I followed the trend and took this group of Lordaeron people suspected of plague to Theramore. This was the first major development of the city."
"When my father learned that I had established Theramore, he decided not to interfere and observe for a few years. If Theramore develops, it will be regarded as the overseas territory of Kul Tiras - anyway, he does not need to pay a copper plate. If it cannot develop, continue to use me as Princess The value of E. Arthas became Death Knight, which destroyed Lordaeron. He should be glad that due to my resistance, the marriage with Lordaeron was not successful. He still has a daughter to marry, so it is not a loss."
Deren nodded. "So when you met Orcish Horde of Thrall and established a foothold in Kalimdor, you established an alliance with them to ensure the safety and development of Theramore?"
Jaina nodded. "Thrall Over there, they are also short of supplies, such as cloth, wine, ironware, etc., but apart from a little animal skin ore, they actually have no products that can be used for trade and exchange. But trading with them has at least increased their income to some extent, and they can also maintain friendly relations - there is no need to worry that the orcs will come to attack the city. Otherwise, be prepared for the orcs to increase their military expenditures, and the city's economy will definitely collapse."
"Although with the immigration of Stratholme, the city has developed greatly and started trading with the orcs. However, the city's economy is still not good. It has finally achieved self-sufficiency in food, but many handicrafts still need to be imported. There are no specialties in the city. To export. My mother has exhausted her funds. So when I learned that you had the Fertilizer project, I immediately followed it." Jaina expressed his thoughts when he met Deren.
Deren smiled bitterly. It turned out that she had long been a piece of meat in the eyes of Jaina. Even if Black Dragon was by her side, she had already thought of swallowing up the pieces of her fat meat in one bite.
On the other hand, Theramore is like a child raised by Jaina. On another Timeline, when Daelin goes to war with Horde, it also means that Jaina will lose the dominance of Theramore Right, to be her vase Princess and wait for one day to get married. So between Theramore and her father, she chose to be the master of her own destiny. And when Arthas was massacring Stratholme, Jaina had more reason to stay away from the "lover" she had to like.
It can even be said that the only person Jaina loves is Theramore. This city is a symbol of her independent struggle and pursuit of freedom. This city is the spiritual sustenance she has devoted all her efforts to. When Garrosh blew it up, Jaina herself had lost her soul and reason, and transformed into a crazy avenger with only a body.
Deren remembers that in the early days of the game, this female mage could often be found somewhere in Theramore. She was always paying attention to her city and guarding her spiritual home. Perhaps we can directly say: Jaina is Theramore, and Theramore is Jaina!
Another burst of rapping came from upstairs. It turned from a group quarrel to a group singing. I was not afraid of disturbing Theramore's night. But I was not afraid, because the owner of Theramore was also sitting downstairs chatting with the man.
The two looked at each other and smiled. On this crazy night, after hearing about the big fight of fate, all the toys of fate drank a lot of wine, and combined with the power of Dreamgrass, they had this absurd and chaotic night.
First update, lots of famous scenes.
