In the living room on the second floor of the Mage Tower, several leading figures in Theramore were gathering together and whispering, while Archon Mori was sitting quietly alone with a teacup in hand, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Sir, Lord Jaina is here..." the attendant reminded the old man in a low voice. Mori came back to his senses and nodded briefly. He and several colleagues stood up from their seats and bowed their heads respectfully to wait.
"I've been waiting for a long time, my lords..." Jaina walked down the stairs, wearing a large black robe, her expression was calm and her steps were calm, and there was no trace of her charming appearance in the boudoir.
The officials who were used to seeing their lords dressed in mage robes were startled, but they immediately twitched their lips in understanding. After all, no matter how high the neckline of the robe was, it still couldn't cover the hickeys all over the body... It seemed like Mori was...
The old man's guess was indeed correct. If he wanted to find General Regan, he had to go to the Mage Tower to find it!
"No need to be polite, please take a seat." The female mage seemed to be in a good mood, but she did not see the meaningful smiles of her subordinates. She nodded as a courtesy to everyone, and then asked straight to the point, "I just don't know if everyone can join hands."
Come here, what's the important thing?"
The officials sat down and listened to Jaina's question. They all turned their attention to Mori. After all, he is the leader of this matter, and he has the highest status here, so he can naturally represent the will of everyone.
"Back to Lord, we are here to hand over the preliminary payment for the construction of the trade zone to General Regan, but the General seems to have been away from the military camp since last night, and Captain Sam Guard does not know where he is, so
I have discussed with my colleagues that it would be more appropriate for you to transfer this money to the general, so we have the courage to come here to trouble you!"
Mr. Morrie spoke in a very measured manner. He did not say that we knew that pretty boy was here, nor did he say what he did last night. However, he hinted at the relationship between Gianna and Regan, both overtly and covertly. Apart from hints,
In addition to the identity of the lord, there are also some factors that are willing to see success.
Since the Scourge War ten years ago, Lordaeron and a large number of human city-states have fallen, and the naval power of Kul Tiras has collapsed due to Daelin's recklessness. Therefore, the hastily established Theramore is in urgent need of a strong ally to support it.
So that they will not be isolated and helpless in the Western Continent
And this ally will naturally not be a green-skinned orc. After all, the only remaining southern power is the Kingdom of Stormwind. Varian Wrynn is a wise and decisive man, and he also has a good relationship with Jaina.
personal relationship, but this is still not enough for the old nobles who now regard Theramore as their home: they actually hope to bring together the two childhood sweetheart rulers so that Stormwind City can become Theramore's shelter in a true sense.
rather than just written and oral commitments
However, they obviously underestimated Varian's infatuation
Whether it was the once majestic King Terenas I of Lordaeron or the ruler of Kul Tiras, Daelin, they may all be strong warriors and outstanding leaders, but they were also unruly in their private lives—
—At least it was like that before marriage.
For example, Jaina has a half-sister and a half-brother. The former was the result of Daelin's mischief with a high elf mage when he was young, and the latter is the child of the family maid, so this also indirectly led to Jaina's death.
A relatively "open" indulgence of Reagan
Of course, the female mage still hates this kind of behavior, but her attitude towards her father and lover is different...
When it comes to Varian's infatuation, almost no one can believe that he would actually remain a widower for nearly ten years for a woman he didn't love.
Tiffin Wrynn, the tombstone engraved with this name now stands in the garden closest to Stormwind Fortress. Every year, many people come to lay flowers in memory and grieve for the passing of this wise queen.
In fact, at the beginning of their union, Varian and Tiffin didn't care about each other. Their union was actually an arranged marriage rather than free love. No matter how you looked at it from an outsider's perspective, you couldn't tell that they would fall in love.
Maybe it was just that when the two really entered the palace of marriage, they developed a deep relationship in the trivial life. Especially after the two had their son Anduin, Varian fell deeply in love with this virtuous man.
woman
Unfortunately, everything went against expectations. Just when the three of them were enjoying their family life happily, a Defias rebellion ruined Tiffin who went to appease the people - she was hit by an inexplicable stone and fell to the ground and died on the spot.
When Varian rushed back to Stormwind City while on patrol, the Lion King's cry moved almost all the people in Stormwind City. After that, Varian focused on raising Anduin and never mentioned it again.
And any remarriage matters, even though some people from Theramore came to talk about it on their own initiative, the Storm King turned a deaf ear.
In the past few years, the idea of political marriage has almost disappeared from the minds of the Theramore nobles, but unfortunately, a young general has appeared in Stormwind City like a comet. In addition to being slightly younger than Jaina in age and status, he is simply
The Holy Light is a rope specially designed to bring Theramore and Stormwind City together!
Morrie, who has been immersed in politics for many years, will naturally not miss this opportunity, because he knows that the group of people he represents behind him will not let it go either: Although Jaina seems to be the supreme lord of Theramore, in this position she is
She also has to pay a corresponding price, not only for friends, besties, and even marriage. As the spokesperson of Theramore, she must be responsible for the entire interest class. Otherwise, how could Varian, who was the King of Storms, marry
A woman he doesn't love?
But everything seems to be going well at the moment. The most important thing is that the lord seems to have affection for the general, so there is no need for them to interfere... Morrie and the others seem to have seen that all Theramore's fleets will be in the future.
Being able to sail under the protection of the Lion Flag, you no longer have to worry about those despicable pirates and mercenaries!
"Well, I understand. Please give the money to Yin Mo'er. If I see General Reagan later, I will naturally transfer it to him." Jaina's face turned slightly red. How could she not listen if she was so smart?
Is there any implication from Morrie? However, the female mage has been through battles for a long time. She returned to normal in a moment and still asked politely, "Other than that, is there anything else you want to report?"
In fact, Mori wanted to directly ask Regan about the progress of the Black Dragon Ruins, but Jaina had a formulaic smile and obviously did not intend to let her lover come out to deal with it. Even though the old fox guessed that the general was now in the Mage Tower,
But it’s not easy to say to the lord directly with an old face: I know that pretty boy is here with you, quickly ask him to come down and explain clearly to us shareholders!
Morrie was not an idiot, and the colleagues behind him were neither fools. After chattering for a while, seeing that Jaina was still talking nonsense to them patiently and well, they had no choice but to say goodbye and go downstairs, handing over several boxes of heavy gold coins.
Yinmer, the high elf adjutant
After all the noble officials left, Jaina glanced at a protrusion on the ceiling and said with a smile: "What are you looking at? Everyone has left, come down quickly!"
After a while, Regen and Sophie walked down the stairs. The knight came over and gave the female mage a "chirp" on her lips. He smiled happily and said, "It seems that I will take you with me wherever I do from now on. At least those old stubborn ones won't."
I will hold a questioning meeting for you because of this... If I were to do it myself, I would probably have to wait for a long time, and these iron cocks would not be able to pluck their feathers even to the death!"
"Hmph, that's good to know!" Jaina raised her eyebrows proudly, then said with a bad smile, "Then I have such an outstanding performance today, what kind of reward can I get from you, General?"
"You little pervert!" Regan shook his head dumbfounded, "Are you really planning to squeeze me clean and throw me away?"
"There's me, there's me!" Sophie came over to avoid chaos, sat down on Regen's lap, and ignored her lover's grinning expression and said, "Sister Sophie, don't be deceived by his appearance.
Yes, we were so exhausted last night, but he didn't do anything at all! He was able to get up this morning to restore our physical strength, do you think he might be drained?"
Jaina suppressed her smile and nodded seriously: "Well, it's really impossible! This guy Reagan is obviously lying about the military situation!
As she spoke, the female lord patted the knight's thigh and said with almond-shaped eyes, "Hurry up and call me honestly. What is that strange recovery technique?"
What else could it be but internal strength?
But Regan knew that he would not be able to explain it to these two natives of Azeroth for a while. After all, a large part of Pandaria's ideas were a bit shocking, and he didn't want the two girls in front of him to pester him with a hundred thousand questions.
"To put it simply, it is a method of energy recovery, similar to the 'suspended technique' I used in Black Rock Mountain." Regen thought for a while and explained in the most concise and concise way.
"Oh, is that the inner...inner power you mentioned?" Jaina has an excellent memory, or it could be said that she has not forgotten every word her lover said, so she remembered it as soon as her eyes rolled.
"Clever!" Reigen chirped at the female mage's little mouth, smiled and nodded, "You must have heard the story of the panda strongman Chen Stormstout? This kind of power is what he uses."
"Well, of course, I remember Lexa and him were still good friends." Strictly speaking, Jaina and Chen had a relationship, but they didn't talk to each other because they were hostile at the time.
But Sophie's understanding of the outside world was limited to the time when Regan came out, so the knight could bear it and simply told them how he practiced practice after getting Chen's posthumous scroll, and according to the Royal Library
and the records and archives of the Dwarf Exploration Association to re-examine the deeds of the pandaren, and to make his practice guide more detailed, thereby facilitating the understanding of the people of Azeroth.
"Elune! I didn't expect those pandaren to be so magical!"
Although the information in the one-hour narration was limited, Sophie was fascinated by it. After all, the night elves and the pandaren were friends in ancient times. It was only because of the ancient war that the connection between the two races was severed. As the guardian of the Moon Temple,
Naturally, she can also come into contact with some rare people.
However, compared to Sophie's curiosity, Jaina was more cautious. The female mage looked at the knight with some worry and said: "Regan, I know you will not give up this power, but don't forget that you are still a saint.
Apostle of Light, if you let others know that you are practicing this kind of unbelief power, maybe all the priests will regard you as a traitor!"
"Don't worry, my lord," Regan smiled slightly, "Although there are many fools in the world, there are also many smart people... Time will prove my choice. Besides, the Pandarians are not without faith! What they believe in is the same as ours.
It’s different. At that time, there was a more abstract existence than the Holy Light!”
"More abstract?" Sophie exclaimed, "What could that be? Is it just a vague idea?"
"Pretty much, what they believe in is the Tao - the great road that transcends everything!" Regen looked at the two ignorant silly girls and smiled, "Forget it, I know you don't understand, so let's not talk about this."
While the three of them were having a lively conversation, Adjutant Yin Moer reminded him from outside: "Lord, General, all the funds have been cleared and we can set off."
