From then on, Jaina no longer dared to ask about the topic of orcs. She seemed to have guessed something, so she ran to Deren's house to drink tea and read a book, and there was a lot of excitement in Deren's house.
It seems that as long as she can sit aside and see Deren, she is very satisfied.
Not long after such a peaceful (?) day, trouble came to the door.
That day, Jaina suddenly brought shocking news. "Sun King's messengers have arrived, and they require all High Elf to return to Silvermoon City immediately."
The temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly. Sylvanas put down the tableware and said in a cold voice, "In what name?"
"Sun King's order." Jaina sighed, "Anyone who disobeys will be punished with treason."
"There is another thing. The goblins of the Sandbox are also here. They demand justice from the shareholders of Blackwing Fertilizer. They asked Sun King for debt but were rejected."
Onyxia burst into laughter, with a unique echo of dragons in the laughter, "Interesting, so interesting. On the one hand, we are required to hand over all the elves, and on the other hand, we will not repay the debt."
Deren weakly held his forehead. "Fortunately, I had already planned it."
"Plan?" Sylvanas stood up, his silver armor clanking, "So from the very beginning, you asked all High Elf who settled in Theramore to swear an oath to become city citizens, which legally eliminated the possibility of Sun King's intervention."
Jaina inserted at the right time. "Yes, he can't control Theramore at all now. I heard that he only has more than five thousand High Elf. Dalaran has more than a thousand elf craftsmen there, and he doesn't dare to ask for them. After all, he desperately needs Dalaran's political support."
"Theramore also has more than three thousand elven civilians. He thinks he can get the best. If he can't get it, there is nothing he can do with me. After all, I am also a mage from Dalaran. What's more, we are separated by two continents, separated by the sea."
"But it's quite disgusting." Deren took over the topic, "Quel'Thalas After this disaster of destroying the country, not one out of ten High Elf survived, and at least there were only ten thousand people. No wonder he tried his best to drag people over. The goblins happened to be here, we can discuss going to Silvermoon City to collect the debt."
"What can you do?" Jaina asked.
"The person who approached Kael'thas for the mortgage loan was the financial company Rivendare Goblin Prince. Our Blackwing Fertilizer is considered the superior parent company. Since some people do not recognize the business contracts of the subsidiaries below, the shareholders of the parent company are of course obliged to safeguard the interests of the subsidiaries." Deren explained with a smile.
"So the shareholders of Fertilizer company are going to Silvermoon City to collect debts? Haha--" Onyxia laughed happily at the thought of coming to collect debts.
"Yes, bring Chromie. She is the stock holder of Aspect Dragons. You represent yourself and your brother, and Jaina represents Theramore. Have Rivendare bring the original contract and contact the representative of Stormwind City where the Rivendare Financial company is registered and the notarized contract of Dalaran Representatives, we need their support to go to Silvermoon City to properly deal with the debt problem. After all, the taxes of Stormwind City and the witness fees of Dalaran are paid in real terms. They will not disregard their face, and there is no need to stand up for the elves." Deren nodded his fingers and formed the strongest debt collection lineup in history.
"..." Jaina was speechless when he heard it. He was afraid that Sun King's heart could bear this kind of debt collection activity where representatives Dragon, Archmage, Stormwind City and Dalaran came together.
Deren turned around and asked Sylvanas: "Do you think there is any problem with this arrangement? Do you want to save some face for Sun King?"
Ranger General was silent for a while, but she was still secretly grateful to Deren for considering her feelings. She thought about the wording, "Of course I am very happy to hear that Silvermoon City has been recovered. After all, it is my hometown. But now that I have settled down in Theramore, the rangers don't want to go back to be sad."
"Anyway, when I heard about Sun King's debt, I felt it was strange. I didn't even want to address him as your majesty. It seemed that he no longer had the majesty and pressure he had before. Just treat him as a stranger. You can go to him to collect debts. I just hope that other compatriots who return home will not be affected."
Vereesa also nodded against his sister. "I think so too. I feel like after living outside for a long time, Sun King and the nobles don't put as much pressure on me as before."
Deren said with a smile, "This is why before this Undead war, Quel'Thalas had to remain closed and isolated from the world. The outside world is undergoing drastic changes, and High Elf is actually far behind the times. Whether it is politics, military, economy, or culture, it is inferior to humans."
"You have only been away from Quel'Thalas for a long time, and you have begun to disrespect the authority of Sunstrider and the nobles. If Quel'Thalas is once opened, the elves will generally be dissatisfied with the current system. Fortunately, Sunwell can help Quel'Thalas stay closed and isolated. But this also brought disaster to them. They were almost killed by Undead."
Vereesa was shocked, and she asked Deren: "So in order to maintain the rule of Sunstrider and the high nobles, they deliberately cut off people from communicating and learning with the outside world?"
"That's not all!" Deren held his chin and thought for a moment, "There is also Troll! Don't you think it's strange? Quel'Thalas's land is not big, and Troll's territory is also generally small. Why has it been that for thousands of years, no matter how hard the ranger troops try, they have not been able to completely eliminate Troll?"
Vereesa covered his mouth in shock and said in horror, "You mean Sun King and the nobles deliberately kept Troll?"
"Why not?" Deren said lightly, "Whenever there is a conflict or crisis within the kingdom, as long as a war is launched against Troll, the attention of the people of the country will soon shift to external wars. How can all the voices of change overwhelm the threat of Troll?"
"As long as we win a victory against Troll, the reputations of Sun King and Noble Council will be more stable. What changes are needed?" Deren said to himself that none of you know the relationship between Kasaya and Yishelie.
"These Quel'Thalas worms!" Sylvanas smashed the corner of the table. She recalled her experience of leading the ranger unit, which further confirmed Deren's speculation, "Whenever we have a great victory over Troll and need to hunt down the remnants, the fate above However, the order cannot pursue, and the priority is to ensure the safety of Silvermoon City and Sunwell. Or they can pursue, but often a mage-type general will be airborne and charge with the troops, and they will be ambushed by Troll and have to retreat. This has happened more than once."
"Woo~" Vereesa thought of those comrades who fought desperately and sacrificed their lives to defend Quel'Thalas. Now Deren revealed such a cruel and dark fact. They were all killed by the ruler of Silvermoon City. They couldn't help but feel sad. Other listeners couldn't help being surprised by the darkness of the higher elves. They felt all kinds of things in their hearts.
