There is a reason why Sharlayan came to Alterac, which is icy and snowy, away from the Eversong Forest, which is like spring all the year round. He has three goals to achieve during this trip.

One is to find the whereabouts of Meili Dongfeng, and bring this lich who has fished for many years back to start work again.

The second is to explore the secrets left by Emperor Thoradin.

The third is to assist Alterac to restore the country, and put a nail in Lordaeron's eye, so as to divert Terenas' attention, so that Quel'Thalas, who is in the throes of reform, has more Sufficient time to complete the final preparations before entering high-speed development.

Today, goals 1 and 2 have been achieved, and Sharlayan has focused most of his energy on the third goal.

Quel'Thalas needed someone to contain Lordaeron, but he didn't want that force to be too strong and out of control, allowing them to swell to swallow the weakening Lordaeron alive.

There is a saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

As Terenas became more and more old and stubborn, and the new generation of heirs had not yet grown up, Lordaeron's national strength was undoubtedly slowly declining.

There are many reasons for the decline of Lordaeron's national strength, such as Terenas' decision-making mistake in rushing to challenge Quel'Thalas, the increasing expenditure of the orc shelter year after year, the hostility of neighboring countries and the interruption of trade, etc., which cannot be generalized.

Even so, Lordaeron still retains a strong enough army. Once the anti-Lordaeron alliance and the desperately resisting Lordaeron fight together... that scene is definitely not what Quel'Thalas wants to see.

The development of Quel'Thalas requires a relatively stable development environment. The fundamental purpose of diverting Lordaeron's attention lies in this, and the cart cannot be put before the horse.

Seeing that the situation was in danger of getting out of control, Sarlayan planned to use his contacts to control the situation as much as possible, so that the two sides who already had profound historical conflicts would not get deeper and deeper on the battlefield.

The Barov family started with business, and businessmen always value peace, and they don't want this local war to expand blindly.

After listening to Sharlayan's detailed explanation, Alex decided without hesitation to stand with him...or Quel'Thalas, trying to mediate the war that was getting out of control.

As Sharlayan said before, now Terenas is like a gambler who has lost his eyes, eager to rebuild his prestige with the help of Alterac's counter-insurgency war, and even took the risk of taking Lordaeron's National luck is on the gambling table.

His desperate decision is not in the interests of all Lordaeron's high-level officials. If Terenas continues to go his own way, there is a high probability that it will trigger a strong reaction from the nobles and ministers.

The fact is also true. Even the mayor of Andorhal, Matthew, a neutral lord who is biased towards the royal family, has begun to feel dissatisfied.

With years of accumulating power, Terenas can still hold the field for the time being.

But his physical condition is a dangerous time bomb, and now he has to rely on Princess Calia's assistance even for reading the memorial.

No one can guarantee when the old king will fall ill in bed due to overwork.

Terenas is also trying his best to avoid this kind of situation. In order to keep his body warm as much as possible, he, who has always held power tightly, is willing to distribute part of the ruling power to his vase daughter who has never received political education.

Sharlayan: "Actually, Terenas' mentality is easy to understand. After entering his later years, he became more stubborn and suspicious, and even worried that his children would take advantage of his illness and seize power."

"Prince Alsace, who was ordered to shut up and think about his mistakes, is a typical example."

"It is true that Alsace did make some stupid decisions when supervising the country, but in the final analysis, it is because Terenas did not pay enough attention to cultivating successors."

"Alsace, who has the right to inherit the throne, was put under house arrest in a disguised form, and Princess Calia, who had always played the role of a vase, was pushed out because Terenas believed that his vase daughter could not threaten his status."

"But... is that really the case?"

Sharlayan flipped through the letter of intent for peace talks handed over by Alex, and his meaningful eyes fell on the white rose pattern deliberately drawn on the back of the letter.

"Alex, if I remember correctly, the rose is the national flower of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, right?"

Alex nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, the rose flower is also the main pattern on the Menethil family crest."

"However, the royal family of Menethil always uses pink roses in public. This kind of white rose symbol...has never been seen before."

"Oh~"

Sharlayan pointedly flicked the letter paper exuding an elegant and delicate fragrance with his fingers: "Is there a possibility that this letter of intent for peace talks secretly represents the meaning of a member of the royal family of Menethil?"

Alex is not a political novice, and when he was reminded by Sarlayan, his face immediately changed.

"You mean...Princess Calia?"

"That's right."

Sarlayan sat up straight and said solemnly: "Only members of the royal family of Menethil are eligible to use the national flower rose as a personal symbol."

"Terenas has been in power for more than 40 years. As we all know, he likes pink roses, so... there must be someone else who drew this white rose logo."

"Alsace is still under house arrest in his bedroom, and according to my understanding, the crown prince of Lordaeron likes yellow roses, not white."

This information came from Jaina. Arthas had presented her with bouquets of yellow roses many times when he was stalking her in Dalaran.

Sharlayan was not interested in the language of flowers, and did not intend to delve into the purpose of Alsace's sending flowers. He only needed to know that the crown prince liked yellow roses.

Alex groaned and rubbed his chin: "The queen of Lordaeron died young, and Terenas never reunited. Since it wasn't Terenas himself and Prince Alsace, only the one who has been regarded as a marriage Princess Calia raised in a vase, right?"

"Hehe~" Sarlayan smiled meaningfully: "It seems that Her Royal Highness is not willing to be used as a marriage tool, and has her own plan in mind."

"Terenas, the father, really failed in what he did, because he couldn't see the nature of the child clearly."

Alex felt that there was something in Sharlayan's words, and it seemed that these words were not aimed at Princess Calia, but he didn't delve into it deeply.

After some discussion, Alex made a decision.

He will use the communication channel that Alex is building to continue to keep in touch with Andorhal, expressing the Barov family's position in this war, as well as their desire for peace.

The seeds have been planted. In the words of the barrage, Sharlayan will let the bullets fly for a while.

When Lordaeron's peace faction can no longer tolerate Terenas' arbitrary behavior, there will naturally be heavyweights coming to Andorhal to communicate with the Barov family in person.

...

On the other side, Valeera rode a fast horse and quickly returned to Steinbrad, the temporary capital of the Alterac Kingdom.

After secretly taking out the Thorbane battle-axe, Merry retreated again, trying to study the structure and principle of this divine weapon battle-axe.

Meri told Tinagosa about his goal before retreating. He planned to solidify the Trollbane battle ax at the artifact level, instead of only getting a temporary upgrade when facing trolls.

In this regard, Mei Li behaved quite confidently, and seemed to have a plan in mind.

Valeera lacks research on arcane academic theories, and she doesn't plan to delve into them. After all, there is a specialization in arcane arts.

The arcane experts in Sarlayan's team did not follow, and Tina was barely an expert in bone fractures, and she couldn't understand Meri's intentions.

Since she can't figure it out for the time being, Valeera doesn't plan to continue to explore, and she will find out after Meri leaves the customs.

After receiving Sharlayan's letter, Tinagosa immediately sent it back to Unicorn Town.

After being transferred by the little star, this encrypted letter was delivered to the Sun King who was still staying up late at 1:00 am that day.

"Is there a risk of expanding the war..."

In his letter, Sharlayan clearly mentioned his own mistakes. He misjudged the strength of the bottoming out of other human kingdoms after long-term oppression.

Kael'thas didn't care about this.

No one is perfect, and no one can guarantee 100% that they will never make mistakes.

Moreover, there is no clear scale for such an emotional thing as hatred, and it is difficult to analyze it numerically, and it is not surprising that there are deviations.

Sarlayan mentioned in his letter that he hoped that Quel'Thalas could officially call on the warring parties to exercise restraint, so as to avoid further expansion of the war situation and affect the original intention of Quel'Thalas' peaceful development.

Such a dry statement would have no substantive effect, but it would signal a subtle shift in Quel'Thalas' stance to the outside world.

Sarlayan believes that countries related to this war should be able to read some deep meaning from it.

Kael'thas pondered for a moment, while the royal advisors were still earnestly urging him to go to bed as soon as possible and take care of his health.

"This is the last job of the day."

Kael'thas stamped the Sun King's exclusive seal on Sharlayan's letter, and handed the letter to one of his most trusted advisors.

"No need to persuade me, I'll go to rest now, there will be no court meeting tomorrow, I can sleep a little longer."

"Kevin, you remember to hand this letter to the ministers after the cabinet opens, and let them vote on the proposals in the letter."

"yes!"
