Dazar'alor, the capital of the Zandalari Empire

After finishing today's "political discussions", the Prophet Zur, who led the Zanchuli Council, politely bid farewell to Princess Talanji, who was regent on behalf of his father.

Watching the aging Zul walk away with his hunched body, the eyes of the young Zandalari princess Talanji flashed an inexplicable color.

To this day, although the daily political discussions are still the same, it is basically Zul who comes to report what he plans to do next, as well as the recent achievements in government affairs.

In Talanji's view, it was not so much a political discussion as Zul took this opportunity to teach her how to lead this ancient empire as the King of Zandalari.

And it has to be said that Zuer's teaching can be regarded as dedicated, without any secrets.

This unexpected cognition made Talanji, who had always thought that Zuer and his father were in conflict, feel a little complicated.

"Wolking."

Facing Talanji's dazed call, Wojin, who was observing the meeting as an international student, hurried out.

"Your Highness, I am here, please give me instructions."

Talanji shook his head: "Don't be so restrained, you are now the Crown Prince of the Gurubashi Empire. In theory, our identities are equal."

Vol'jin bowed his head humbly and corrected: "Your Highness, please be careful. Gurubashi is only one of the three enfeoffed princes who enshrine the Zandalari Empire. Vol'jin can't afford His Highness's favor."

"Oh~"

Talanji, who was smart since he was a child, twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "Okay, there are only two of us here now, so we don't need to act so realistically."

"You and I are very clear that after tens of thousands of years of separation and mutual development, the Zandalari only have nominal jurisdiction over the three major empires, and they have already parted ways."

After using the corner of his eye to confirm that there was no one else nearby, Vol'jin's attitude relaxed a little.

"You can't say that, no matter how the times change, Zandalar is still our suzerain in name, and the basic etiquette still needs to be observed."

About 2 months ago, with the help of Zandalar envoys, the coalition of jungle trolls headed by the Darkspear clan successfully exiled the blood god Hakkar summoned by the Gurubashi clan.

Under the personal appointment of Talanji, who exercised the royal power on behalf of his father, the darkspear clan, which everyone expected, replaced the Gurubashi clan, which almost committed heinous crimes, and became the new leader of the jungle troll clan.

Over the past few years, under Sen'jin Enwei's smooth wrist kneading, almost all the forest trolls who were once scattered like sand were united under the command of the Darkspear clan.

With the Skullsplitting and Bloodtop clans finally realizing that the situation is weakening, the Darkspear clan finally has no enemies in Stranglethorn Vale, and has become the undisputed new overlord of the Gurubashi Empire.

Unfortunately, in the final battle to exile Hakar, the Gurubashi lord Mandokir and the sorcerer Jin'du took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Senjin arranged a large number of people to search after the war, but they were still unable to find their traces, which can be regarded as leaving some hidden dangers.

In any case, Stranglethorn Valley, which has been in turmoil for many years, finally ushered in a long-lost peace.

After officially settling in Zul'Gurub, the capital of the Gurubashi, Sen'jin, who was already ready to govern, arranged various affairs in an orderly manner, and distributed power reasonably according to the contribution of each clan in this civil war.

After confirming that Haka was re-sealed, Talanji accepted Woking's request to study abroad and took him back to Zandalar Island on the pterodactyl Loapaku.

Because the god-kings of the Zandalari Empire are bound to the souls of the kings of Loalezan, the lifespan of the god-kings in the past is far longer than that of ordinary trolls.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the fertility of the God King is closer to that of the longevity species.

Talanji was the only child born to Rastakhan's fifteenth wife.

Because of this, Rastakhan loved the wife who gave birth to his offspring very much, and was depressed for a long time after her unfortunate death.

Talanji's age is almost the same as Vol'jin's. As a noble descendant of the God King, Talanji always has a thick layer of class barriers between him and his friends of the same age.

Originally, Talanji thought that Vol'jin would be respectful and dare not tell the truth in front of him, but after a period of contact, Talanji unexpectedly discovered...the new crown prince of the Gurubashi Empire is not "honest" .

Talanji's evaluation is not derogatory, on the contrary, she is happy to see Woking's "overstepping" attitude towards herself.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from his father Rastakhan, Talanji could only hear undisguised and true evaluations from Vol'jin.

For this reason, Talanji made an unprecedented request to Rastakhan to transfer Vol'jin, who had come to study abroad, to serve as a close servant by his side, allowing him to obtain the qualification to attend Zandalari government affairs.

Of course, it is only an observation, and Woking has no right to speak in the daily political discussions.

"Wol'jin, what do you think... what does Zur think?"

On the way back to the palace with Vol'jin, Talanji asked with a somewhat tangled expression: "I thought that Zur contradicted his father many times in order to limit the rights of the God-King, but now it seems... that doesn't seem to be the case?"

The palace of Zandalar was originally one of the three seals used to imprison G'huun. It was a pyramid with a very gorgeous appearance.

Since Rastakhan gradually withdrew from the power center of Zandalar, Talanji, with his father's acquiescence, replaced all the maids in the palace with his confidantes.

Here, Vol'jin doesn't need to worry about the influence in front of outsiders, Talanji allows him to speak freely.

"This..."

Vol'jin has followed and assisted his father Sen'jin in managing the clan's government affairs since he was a child. His experience in general affairs and control over people's hearts are far superior to the young and shallow Talanji.

"To put it simply, the relationship between Prophet Zul and God King Rastakhan is not purely a struggle for power, but a battle of ideas is the majority."

"No matter how much they disagree with each other, at least they stand on the same page when it comes to growing the Zandalari Empire."

Vol'jin touched the fangs protruding from his lips thoughtfully: "From the fact that Zul didn't try his best to suppress the royal power, and even took the initiative to give you everything, he doesn't want to be in Zandalar because of the decadence of the God King. Instead of going into decline, I hope that you can take up this important task as soon as possible.”

"Of course, there must be a reason why your political stance is closer to Zuer's."

"In Zul's view, it may be more helpful to Zandalar to support you to the top than to revive His Majesty the God King."

"Yeah……"

At an angle that Woking couldn't notice, a strange look flashed in Talanji's eyes.

"You haven't finished your study task today, right? Go ahead and leave me alone."

Vol'jin frowned slightly, he instinctively sensed that Talanji seemed to have another purpose.

However, Wojin did not stay uninterested and continued to pester, he waved to Talanji freely and easily, and strode out of the palace.

After staying in the hall in silence for a long time, Talanji got up again, and surrounded by the maids, he came down to the gate of the main hall of the harem where Rastakhan "rested".

As soon as she walked to the door, Talanji frowned tightly, and she smelled a very strong smell of alcohol.

"Hey~"

After waving away all the maids, Talanji stepped into the hall with a sigh.

Rastakhan was half leaning against the side of the bed sitting without a seated figure, and the floor was full of empty or full wine bottles.

But different from the decadence that outsiders imagined, Rastakhan's eyes were still clear, and he watched his daughter strolling towards him with great interest.

Talanji asked with a tangled expression, "Father, are you in good health?"

"Hehe~" Rastakhan asked with a chuckle: "Others don't know, don't you know?"

Talanji smiled wryly and sat cross-legged in front of Rastakhan: "Father, I don't understand, since you haven't really collapsed, why..."

Rastakhan smiled and patted his daughter's shoulder: "Because the Zandalari today don't need two voices, compared to my toughness, the Zandalari, which is waiting to be done, needs Zul, who has a relatively mild ruling philosophy. "

"Of course, in my opinion... even in Zuer's own opinion, the gentle attitude he represents is not enough, so we will tacitly cultivate you together from the inside to the outside."

"My daughter, you are the leader that Zandalar needs most in the current era."

"I……"

Before Talanji, who lacked confidence, asked another question, Rastakhan looked up and looked outside the palace: "Is your communication with Rezan going well? How does he think of you?"

"this……"

Talanji shook his head with a bitter face: "Rezan thinks I'm too weak to bear his too great strength."

"Oh~ it's just an excuse."

Rastakha sneered and exposed Rezan's real intention: "He just used this reason to satirize your gentle ruling philosophy."

"Rezan is indeed a qualified king loa, and it was under his watch that Zandalar climbed to the peak."

"But...it's not the same today."

An inexplicable color flashed in Rastakhan's eyes: "Rezan's biggest problem is that his temper is too straightforward and he doesn't know how to adapt."

"If Zandalari is still strong, it is just right for him to be the Kings Loa who is full of drive, but... now we need to think more about it."

Rastakhan was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Daughter, you can find an excuse to visit Nazmir recently, and go to Hades Palace to ask Bwonsamdi for questioning on my behalf."

Talanji still couldn't fully understand Rastakhan's intentions, but she could instinctively detect what was in Rastakhan's mind at the moment.

"Father, do you want to..."

Rastakhan looked deeply at Talanji, who looked suspicious and uncertain: "Go, everything is not settled yet, let's see what that old cunning Bwonsamdi has to say."
