Remember [New] in a second! Since the last time Dar'Khan accidentally took the initiative to participate in the gathering of nobles in the southern part of Eversong Forest, Sharlayan always felt that something was wrong with this guy, but he couldn't tell why without any clues.

After that, the Backlightblade thieves monitoring Dar'Khan did not detect any abnormalities.

For a while, even Valeera thought that Darkan had really cultivated his mind and nature.

However, Sharlayan, who knew Dar'Khan's true nature, knew that this was absolutely impossible.

The more normal he appears on the surface, the more it shows that this guy has big plans behind him.

Sharlayan, who had just returned to Quel'Thalas from the Emerald Dream through the Road of Dreams, and had not turned his mind back from the Emerald Dream, suddenly thought of a possibility.

Dar'Khan's new thigh, could it be the ancient **** who used the road of dreams to extend his tentacles to Quel'Thalas?

The thought startled Sharlayan.

The ancient gods are best at deceiving people's hearts, and their every move is not easily discovered by the Backlight Blade as a mortal.

Thinking further, Sharlayan even guessed that it might be the new succubus king Varothen who had never been seen before, who made the move to win over Darkan.

The ancient gods are still locked in their own cages, and even Enzos, who has escaped the most, is still far from breaking free from the seal.

That being the case, if Darkan wants to get in touch with the ancient gods, he must have a medium as a transfer. Is there anyone more suitable than the succubus king who comes and goes without a trace?

Just like Xavius, Varosen, who has died for a long time, has no entity, and can only move in a special sub-plane like the Emerald Dream.

Assuming that Dar'Khan really had contact with Varothen, where did he connect with the succubus king?

‘Sas’ara... Temple of Desom? '

As the saying goes, guess boldly and verify carefully.

Sarlayan intends to send someone to investigate Darkan's unusual whereabouts in the past few years immediately after the cabinet meeting is over.

But right now, he needs to refute Darkan's highly fanatical old-school conservative remarks first.

In today's increasingly open and inclusive Quel'Thalas, Sharlayan and Kael'thas will not allow this outdated conservatism to rise again.

"Uh~"

Sharlayan's grinning and pressing question made Darkan's face stiffen.

No matter how much he advocates the arrogance in the bones of the high elves, such words can only be said behind closed doors at home, and if he takes them outside to publicize them, he has no EQ.

Apparently, Darkan, an old politician, is not such a stunned young man.

Although he was stabbed by Salayan's words, the thick-skinned Darkan quickly adjusted back and greeted Salayan with a smile as if nothing had happened.

"It turned out to be the Duke of Deep Shadow. I heard that you took a large family to Kalimdor for honeymoon. It's great to be able to come back at the critical moment before the war. Quel'Thalas needs your planning and layout ability .”

Sharlayan and Kael'thas quickly exchanged glances, both of them showed the same sarcasm, and both ignored the provocative meaning in Dar'Kan's words.

"That's right, if I hadn't accidentally suffered a small injury and recuperated in the Emerald Dream for more than a month, I should have rushed back earlier, so that I wouldn't have heard the 'retro' arguments against the age of your Excellency the Prime Minister. "

Although Sharlayan doesn't like this kind of intrigue, it doesn't mean he doesn't know it at all.

In order to prevent the topic from getting into Darkan's best field, Sharlayan responded with a sarcasm and quickly got back to the topic.

"The war with the Burning Legion is definitely not something that any country can bear independently, even if the demon army that invaded through the Dark Portal is just a partial division."

Sharlayan agreed with Liresa's concerns without hesitation: "After being equipped with new weapons, Quel'Thalas has never fought with other countries."

"There will necessarily be a process of adaptation for both us and our allies."

"It's not a question of who accommodates whom, but a pure mutual benefit and win-win situation."

"Everyone, please think about it."

Sarlayan looked around at the cabinet members present: "If unnecessary battle losses occur on the battlefield due to lack of tacit cooperation with our allies, aren't we the ones who suffer the most?"

"As for the profit..."

Sharlayan looked at Darkan who still had a formulaic smile on his face with deep meaning: "Your Excellency, it must be you, right?"

"Hahaha!" Darkan shook his head and laughed, "Duke Deep Shadow, stop joking. I am also a member of Quel'Thalas. How could I expect our army to be damaged in battle?"

'A member of Quel'Thalas? Ha~ That's hard to say. '

An extreme egoist like Darkan will not have a sense of belonging to any force, and everything he does is to serve his own interests.

If the interests of Quel'Thalas conflicted with his own, Sharlayan had no doubt that he would decisively choose to protect his personal interests and ignore the interests of the country.

Because that's what Dar'Khan Drathir is.

Since there was no evidence to back up his unrestrained speculation that day, Sharlayan did not hold on to Dar'Khan.

The most important thing right now is to hurry up and complete the preparations before the start of the war. Sharlayan doesn't have the time to chat with him.

Kael'thas' timely voice interrupted Dar'Khan's upcoming offensive remarks: "Then, Duke Deep Shadow, in your opinion, how should we get along with him in the shortest possible time without revealing too many cards Other countries have completed the run-in?"

Sharlayan spread his hands and said, "Actually, at this juncture, we have nothing to hide. Anyway, it will be exposed to everyone in two months at most."

"If Your Majesty is really worried, we can first use the older versions of magic weapons in the joint training with other countries' armies, and then replace them with the latest ones in actual combat."

"As far as I know, there is no essential change in the use mode of the upgrade of magical weapons, and some differences will not affect our cooperation with allied troops in actual combat."

"Um…"

Kael'thas turned his questioning gaze to Li Reisa, and the Minister of Defense quickly responded positively.

"I agree with Duke Deep Shadow's proposal. It is indeed necessary to keep one hand. After all, the heart of defense is indispensable."

"However, the war is about to start. In order to avoid mistakes due to coordination problems on the battlefield, we should take the initiative to reveal the truth to the alliance allies in advance."

"Coordination training with older versions of weapons is the best compromise."

Kael'thas weighed it a bit and then nodded: "That's how it is. The issue of military cooperation should be followed up by the Minister of National Defense, and the cooperation with other countries should be fine-tuned as soon as possible."

Although Li Reisa has long been in a high position, she still upholds the style she used when she was a soldier, saluting Kael'thas meticulously and responded: "Obey!"

After a series of cooperation issues related to diplomacy, economy, and internal affairs, Sarlayan did not intervene any more. He still upheld his personal beliefs and left professional matters to professional people.

After the meeting, Kael'thas invited Sharlayan to accompany him to the study to report the important knowledge of this trip.

Every time Sharlayan went out, he would bring back a lot of important information concerning the world situation, and the cabinet ministers had long been accustomed to this.

But before leaving, Kael'thas asked in front of all the cabinet members.

"By the way, what did you say about getting a little injury? Could it be that there was a conflict with the night elves?"

Before answering Kael'thas' concerns, Sharlayan glanced at the expressions of the cabinet members present.

The vast majority of people at least showed curiosity, and people like Li Reisa, who are relatively close to the Deep Shadow family, also showed a little concern.

Only Darkan...

Although he also made a curious expression on his face, Sharlayan didn't see even the slightest surprise in his eyes.

'So, this guy already knew that I stayed in the Emerald Dream for a month and a half due to injury? Where did the information come from? Is it possible...'

Sharlayan still wanted to habitually consider the worst possible direction of the situation, and Darkan's abnormal reaction made him more sure of his previous guess.

Except for the green dragon and night elves who followed up the whole process, very few people knew that Sharlayan was injured, and even fewer people knew that he stayed in the Emerald Dream during this period of time to recuperate.

How did Dar'Khan, who was far away on the other side of the sea, know that Sharlayan was injured? The answer is actually already obvious.

Although he had raised his guard against Darkan in his heart, Sarlayan still responded to the concerns of Kael'thas, Liresa and others with a calm smile on his face.

"No, although the night elves and I have some disagreements on certain issues, they are far from reaching the point of conflict. My injury was caused by myself. It must be considered that my cultivation has gone wrong."

As Sharlayan expected, although Dar'Khan knew that Sharlayan was injured, the reason for his injury was not clear.

When this question was mentioned ~lightnovelpub.net~ Darkan, who had been somewhat acting before, finally showed his curiosity more sincerely.

Sharlayan had no obligation to explain Dar'Khan, who was destined to become an enemy, and did not explain this issue in depth. He followed Kael'thas into the apse of the royal court, the living area of ​​the Sun King, laughing.

Kael'thas has been with Sharlayan for many years, and some clues can be seen from the changes in his demeanor.

Cooperating with Sharlayan, the Sun King stopped talking about the injury, and started asking about some unique customs of Kalimdor.

As the laughter of the two gradually faded away, the cabinet ministers who wanted to eat melons shrugged and smiled at each other and left.

Darkan also mixed in the crowd, greeted his colleagues with a smile and left, but he was always concerned about the injury problem Sharlayan mentioned earlier.

‘Cultivation went wrong? Could it be because of the energy conflict in the body caused by the two diametrically opposite original forces that that person mentioned? '

'If it is true, does it mean that this half-dragon family may have similar problems in the future? '

"If you can find out the law of his power failure, maybe..."
