Aman'Shuli Council
After Sanra settled the matter with the Defias remnants, he packed himself up carefully and prepared to take the ship from the Maltooth back to Zul'Aman, while Talygosa and Anveena naturally followed behind him. ♤💚 ➅➈ 🍟🎅
During the few days that Zul'ra was handling her affairs, Tarecgosa and Anveena went for a couple of rounds in Jintha'Alor, but they quickly lost interest because there wasn't much to do in Jintha'Alor, especially for Tarecgosa.
When Tarecgosa a dragon, she was revered by all the Trolls, but her human form High Elves earned her the strange looks of the commoners of Jintha'Alor, which was actually quite good.
Through the publication of a series of historical books by Zul'ra and the development of Amani's general diplomatic affairs, the Amani Trolls have gradually emerged from their conservative and stubborn ways over the past ten years. They no longer clamor for war against their archenemies, the High Elves, Blood Elves, and humans, as they once did.
The fact that the Amani Trolls were able to break free from their hostile and stubborn conservatism is partly due to the fact that Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron were ravaged by the the Scourge. However, all in all, this is a good thing.
Although it was a good thing, the appearance of High Elves in the Trolls city inevitably drew strange looks from the Trolls. They were used to humans, though, because Zul'ra had allowed Taretha's family to live in Jintha'Alor long ago, and Defias artisans who served Amani had also moved in.
Taretha is currently serving as the headmistress of Jintha'Alor Elementary School. These past few days, Kalecgos has asked her for help because he is dissatisfied with Puskin, who is ghostwriting the history of the dragons. However, no matter how Zul'ra looks at it, she feels that Kalecgos's dissatisfaction with Puskin is purposeful.
Regardless of what Kalecgos intended to do, Zul'ra led Tarecgosa and Anveena onto a ship and arrived at the port of the Thalassian Strait. There used to be a shipyard there, but because the strait was too small, it had been moved elsewhere and was now used only as a cargo port for transporting vehicles.
As the ship slowly entered the strait, Zul'ra looked at the piers and moored boats along the shore and was filled with emotion. He thought of the dilapidated coastline he had seen when he returned to Zul'Aman after the coup in Jintha'Alor and the fishermen he had surrounded.
After the ship came to a stop, Zul'ra stepped off the gangway and immediately encountered a group of people. At the head of the group was a female Trolls wearing a white and blue robe, standing straight. Her purple, stiff hair was tied in a ponytail, and her green face was exposed. Her lips were tightly pursed, and it was none other than Broken-Tooth.
"Zul'ra Jin." Broken-Tooth watched as the tall Trolls, wearing a black leather robe underneath an open-fronted gown, with a jade-buckled sword at his waist and black hair tied up on his head, stepped forward to greet him.
"No need." Zul'ra quickly stopped the female Trolls who came up to bow.
"Zul'ra Jin!" Broken-Tooth felt a little uneasy as he looked up at Zul'ra, who was much taller than him. He knew that the return of the King of the Amani had been too sudden, which made him feel a complicated worry. After all, there were too many things involved in power struggles.
"There's no need for that. You've done an excellent job these past few days. I should be thanking you on behalf of Amani." Zul'ra looked at the somewhat apprehensive female Trolls with an incredibly warm smile.
"As it turns out, Akil'darah's choice was right. All members of Amani should be like these fingers, clasped together, to be invincible." Zul'ra looked down at her Broken-Tooth hands, smiled, and raised her right hand to the crowd beside her, spreading her five fingers apart before clenching them into a fist.
"With fists clenched, we will be invincible." Broken-Tooth looked at the smile on Zul'ra's face, and his anxiety eased slightly. Then he raised his right hand as well. Both of her hands now had five fingers, thanks to the help of the Wind Spirit Akil'darah, which was also the origin of her self-proclaimed title "Holy Mother".
Among those who came to welcome them were, besides Broken-Tooth, Maki and Lostro. Zul'ra went up to greet them one by one. Although it had been more than two years since they last met, and there was a sense of unfamiliarity, this unfamiliarity quickly disappeared during their conversation.
The welcoming ceremony ended quickly, and Zul'ra followed the others back to Zul'Aman, the ancient city they had been away from for so long. The city used to be dilapidated and old, but now, although it had not undergone major repairs, the moss that had spread on the walls and boulders had been scraped away, and it was decorated with Horde and voodoo flags and guarded by strong armored soldiers, giving it a more vibrant feel than before.
Aside from the appearance of the ancient city, a wide new road has been built between the port of Thalassian Strait and the ancient city of Zul'Aman. Broken-Tooth told Zul'ra that this road was built by the Elves of Quel'Thalas at their request, to facilitate the transport of goods between Zul'Aman and the port. In addition, an Amani Path has also been built to connect to the Forest Road.
"Well done, well done. If we compare a country to a person, then transportation roads are like the blood vessels in that person's body. Only when the blood flows smoothly can the body be healthy." Zul'ra expressed his appreciation, saying, "If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is an unchanging principle."
Everything was going well. After returning to Zul'Aman, Zul'ra asked Broken-Tooth to find someone to accompany Tarecgosa and Anveena to prevent them from wandering around. Then, at the meeting of the Aman'Shuli Council, he listened to the formal reports from everyone on the various situations of Amani.
Zul'ra had already seen the current development of Amani back in Jintha'Alor. Now it was just a formality to check things out, as well as the adjustment between him and the parliament. After all, the parliament was only established after he left, and now that he was back, there would inevitably be friction between the powers.
Zul'ra wasn't the kind of person who craved power. The parliament was doing a great job and the future looked very bright. Unless necessary, he wouldn't interfere recklessly for the time being, but rather wait and see. Therefore, he praised each sentence spoken by Broken-Tooth, who was presiding over the report, and gave him even more effusive praise in his concluding remarks.
"The effects of the Aman'Shuli Council on Amani have exceeded my expectations. For this, I need to thank all of you present here, and I also want to shout 'Long live' to all Amani'lai, because all of this is due to their efforts. If we continue to be so united, then the revival of Amani will be just around the corner."
Zul'ra's words expressed her affirmation of the parliament and her intention not to interfere in it for the time being, which immediately won applause. Broken-Tooth, in particular, breathed a sigh of relief. Zul'ra's words not only meant that the power in her hands was temporarily secured, but also that the stability of Amani would continue. Of course, that was what she thought.
During the meeting, Zul'ra wisely avoided mentioning the Horde across the ocean, as it was inappropriate to bring it up now. Instead, he focused on getting to know the members of the Aman'Shuli Council one by one.
There was no more at night.
