Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

After sending Luminas away, Andrea fell into deep thought alone in the office.

When Celes and Shandris came to greet her husband home together, the changing look on Andrea's face aroused their suspicion.

Shandris twitched her nose and sniffed it, and the delicate fragrance that had not completely dissipated made her complexion ugly.

"Andrea, I need an explanation."

Shandris folded her hands on her chest and asked coldly, "Which woman came here just now? She actually put on makeup during working hours. If I catch you..."

"ah?"

Shandris' voice woke Andrea up from his thoughts, and after hearing the question clearly, he said with a smile, "Don't bother, we can't control the person who came just now, they are foreigners."

The Supreme Council has promulgated a rule long ago, no matter men or women are allowed to wear heavy makeup during work, and scented powder is strictly prohibited.

High elves enjoy life more than night elves, and they never have such rules.

Born as a Vereesa ranger, she didn't like to put on too much makeup, so she could arouse countless young guys' "Oh~" cheers when she appeared on the stage without makeup.

Seres is very familiar with the life attitude of the high elves, and she quickly guessed the identity of the high elves through the information revealed in Andrea's words.

"Is it the Quel'Thalas Deputy Envoy who has only been here for a few years and is not familiar with the customs of the Night Republic? Why did she come to see you alone?"

Andrea got up and tidied up the messy table. "Let's talk about it when we get home. To put it simply, she represents Prince Kael'thas to ask for something."

...

"Acandor fruit?"

In the back garden of Moon Shadow Manor, the couple went to rest in the gazebo after dinner. After hearing Andrea's description, Celes seemed a little surprised.

"I thought Little Kyle had given up curing his addiction, why did he suddenly decide to use the Arkan'dor fruit now?"

Andrea shrugged and said, "It's nothing more than the old routine of wooing a group and suppressing a group."

"Not all the nobles in Quel'Thalas are ambitious. Even among the great nobles, there are some who are biased towards the royal family... or the idea of ​​a prince. The Miss Yanghen who came today is one of them."

The Sunscar family is also a large noble family that has existed since the founding of Quel'Thalas. Although the family size is not comparable to the core noble members loyal to the royal family such as Sunfury and Fire Wing, their status is far from that of small and medium nobles. .

Moreover, the Yanghen family also has the most valued status, they are the relatives of the Sunstrider royal family.

Anasteria's long-dead mother was from the Yangshen clan. With this relationship as a foreshadowing, it is not surprising that Luminas, the heir of the family, came to discuss privately with Andrea.

"Kael'thas intends to distribute the Arkan'dor fruit to nobles who are absolutely loyal to the royal family first, so that they can take the lead in getting rid of the potential hidden dangers of dependence on the Sunwell and magic addiction."

Most high elves find it difficult to leave Quel'Thalas for long periods of time due to their addiction to magic.

The sunwell is undoubtedly an irreplaceable treasure for the high elves, but from a certain point of view, it is also one of the biggest restrictions on their continued development.

The rangers headed by the Windrunner family have lived in the Amani Forest for a long time, and it is actually impossible to directly enjoy the magic power of the Sunwell here.

If it wasn't for the holy tree Sas'ara to transfer the magic power of the Sunwell, the rangers wouldn't even be addicted to magic at all.

Compared with the residents of Silvermoon City who have absorbed high concentrations of Sunwell magic all the year round, the residents of Amani Forest have milder symptoms of magic addiction. If they go through a period of difficult withdrawal, they should be able to overcome their magic addiction without external help.

The nobles of Eversong Forest can’t do it. Taking Luminas as an example, she must carry the Sunwell water with her for a long time, and once the medicine is stopped, she will soon get sick.

Celes is much more sensitive than Shandris, who has a single-mindedness in political struggles. When Shandris was still confused, she already roughly understood Kael'thas' intentions.

"It turns out that it's not a matter of scarcity, but of inequality. Kael'thas' move will inevitably irritate the great nobles who did not receive the fruits of Arcandor, and this will lead to heated debates in the country."

"And distributing all the fruits to the nobles of Eversong Forest should also cause dissatisfaction with the ranger families such as Windrunner. No wonder he wants to get in touch with you behind Vereesa's back."

Shandris rubbed his temples with a headache, "Don't keep it secret, just tell me, what exactly does Kael'thas want you to do?"

"It's very simple."

Andrea spread his hands and said, "He intends to let the night elves take the blame to a certain extent, saying that how to distribute the fruits of Arcandor is the decision of the Night Republic, so as to alleviate the sharp conflicts that may arise in the country."

Shandris pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Why? We have no obligation to participate in Quel'Thalas' internal struggle."

Celes looked thoughtfully at Andrea, who was still smiling, and asked speculatively, "Could it be that... Little Kyle gave enough bargaining chips?"

Andrea nodded approvingly to Ceres, "Kael'thas represents Anasteria's meaning, and promises that Quel'Thalas will further strengthen the connection with the Night Republic."

"Perhaps it is the benefits that the city-states such as Elesalas, Black Rook Castle and Suramar have gained after joining the Night Republic have stimulated them."

"Although the Sun King has no intention of merging into the Night Republic due to the pride of the high elves, he hopes to form a formal close alliance with the Night Republic and gain support from all aspects of the Night Republic."

"That's it?"

Shandris said disappointedly, "Isn't this still something we need? Where is the reward?"

Andrea smiled and hugged Shandris into her arms, "Political issues cannot be purely based on superficial interests. This move by the high elves is equivalent to formally surrendering to the Dark Night Republic, and they have placed themselves at a lower level in their interactions with each other." Location."

"Because Quel'Thalas has always advocated the self-noble theory to the people, once this news is announced, it will definitely arouse many voices of opposition within Quel'Thalas."

Seles added, "From our point of view, the surrender of Quel'Thalas represents the reunion of all the branch races that have split from the night elf society, and the meaning is far greater than the actual meaning."

Andrea smiled and nodded, "Besides, with the national power of the Republic of Night, I don't think the high elves can provide us with too many practical bargaining chips. This kind of symbolic attachment is just right."

In the eyes of the two caring fools, Shandris rolled her eyes in displeasure.

"Okay, you are all great, but I am a political idiot, from now on I will only be responsible for calling 666, and let you use your brains."

Andrea comforted Shandris with a kiss on the face, "You can't say that, at least your military talent is something that Celeste and I can't catch up with. You can support all kinds of people with the same rice, and you have a specialization in art. "

"Hmph~ That's about the same."

Seles looked at the scene of the old couple in front of her with a funny face, so she even joined in, and the three of them started fighting together in the gazebo.

When the light of dawn could already be seen in the sky, Andrea looked at the gradually setting moon and said meaningfully, "I don't know what kind of big move Kael'thas will have on Quel'Thalas. Impact, smooth reform? Or further stimulate social conflicts?"

"Let us wait and see."
