…………

The people on the list include Jaina Proudmoore, Sylvanas, Muradin, High Tinker Mekkatorque, Sentinel Force General Shandris Feathermoon, Draenei Warrior Maldra, King Greymane's

Daughter Tess, and water and soil master Aisha Yunge.

Spymaster Shaw has been visiting Storm Keep more and more frequently recently, and sometimes he has to meet the king two or three times.

"Everyone is ready, Your Majesty." Shore's tone was as usual. Unlike other staff members under Varian, the leader of MI7 did not bow every time he met. This was also his unique privilege.

Varian did not leave the map room from morning to evening today. Shore glanced at the untouched refreshments on the table nearby.

"Are all the people I choose willing to accept this assignment?" The King of Stormwind City rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Shore nodded, "They are meaningless, Your Majesty. Now as long as they wait for your order, they will all go to Theramore to assemble."

"Then don't wait any longer. Let our envoy leave immediately." Varian waved his hand, thinking that he could finally relax and rest for a while, but when he glanced back, he found that there was still someone standing at the door of the map room.

Alone. "Hammond, what's wrong so late?"

Hammond Clay, the general and supreme commander of the defense of Stormwind City, gave a signature military salute before entering the map room. During this period, he and Shore nodded to each other. He said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Kirin Tor wishes to see you.

"

"Kirin Tor?" Varian hadn't heard this name for a while, and even knew little about Dalaran. He glanced at Shore. The spy master said that the recent floating city was nothing.

abnormal.

"Who is coming?" asked the king.

"A white-haired old mage, he said he has a statue in Stormwind City." Hammond replied, and the frown between his eyebrows showed that he was very suspicious of this statement.

"This self-introduction is..."

Soon, not only Varian, but also Shaw looked surprised. The King of Stormwind City reacted and asked: "Where is he?"

"I have brought him outside the fortress."

"Let him in quickly." Varian's reaction was a little extreme, and the tired look on his face just now disappeared.

Hammond still wanted to persuade him, but Shore's hand was already on his left shoulder.

"He's not old, General."

…

Archmage Khadgar was a little surprised when he walked into Storm Fortress, because the place where the King of Stormwind lived did not have the comfort of a palace, but only had a military atmosphere.

He has had an indissoluble bond with this kingdom, but he has never actually visited Stormwind City.

The last time I saw Varian, he seemed to be just a child. Years later, the exiled prince had become even more determined than his father.

"Your Majesty the King." Khadgar smiled slightly at the man on the throne.

"It's been so long, Khadgar." Varian wanted to stand up and walk over to give the mage a hug, but he was worried that his body wouldn't be able to bear it. "Welcome...back to Stormwind City."

No matter how many years have passed, the city will never forget the contributions Lothar and Khadgar made. They are remembered by the people of Stormwind in different ways. Varian named his child Anduin, and Khadgar

A statue of Ga stands at the city gate.

"You look a lot younger. No wonder my city defense commander couldn't recognize you in front of your statue." Varian joked. In fact, he was also a little surprised by the change in the mage. Khadgar did not grow up.

There are not so many wrinkles on his beard and face. He doesn't look old-fashioned at all.

In response, Khadgar also let out a hearty laugh. "When I saw those statues, I was also shocked. I wondered if the person who designed the statues had something to do with me."

"Of course not. Everyone in Stormwind would be grateful to Lothar and Khadgar."

The two of them inadvertently recalled many past events, and silence suddenly fell. After a while, Varian's voice broke the silence again. "I really hope that I can greet you with the highest courtesy, Khadgar. Dandalar

But you didn't tell me that you were coming."

"Actually, I just made it up on the spur of the moment, and I only represent myself and have nothing to do with political stance." The mage waved his hand, and the relief on his face was replaced by some strange tension.

It's time to get down to business.

Varian nodded, clasped his fingers on his knees and asked: "So, why did you return to Stormwind City? If you just want to be a guest, I will be very welcome." He hoped so, and hoped that Khadgar only wanted to come back to Stormwind City.

He simply came to see the kingdom he once defended. But the white-haired mage's tightened lips might have disappointed him.

"I heard Jaina say that Stormwind City plans to send an envoy to visit the Forsaken?"

Varian and Shore, who were waiting quietly, looked at each other and felt a little weird. Jaina had many years of diplomatic experience and would never reveal the secrets of the Alliance easily. Khadgar said that she told him the Alliance mission

According to the news, Varian thinks this is an excuse for the old mage.

"Indeed." Varian didn't hide anything. He hoped that Khadgar wouldn't hide anything either. If the mage encounters any difficulties, Stormwind City will definitely help him. "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Because...Nathanos." Khadgar said, successfully arousing Varian's interest.

"Yes, the former hero of the Alliance has now become the leader of the Forsaken. Everyone feels sorry for him. What happened to him, Khadgar?" Varian suddenly discovered that everything that happened recently seemed to have something to do with Nassar.

North is related to it, and now even the people of Dalaran are involved. The influence of the Blight Ones is so widespread, it is really disturbing.

After much hesitation, Khadgar finally revealed his purpose and took a step forward. "If possible, please let me join your mission, Your Majesty."

Varian was shocked.

"Please wait a moment." Xiao couldn't help but speak. Originally, this conversation had nothing to do with him, but now he had to say. "Mr. Master, although you were a member of the Alliance in the past, you are now affiliated with Ken

Ritor Dalaran is also a neutral city. What's more, the Sunreavers incident broke out in Dalaran not long ago. Once the tribe sees you appearing at the Alliance mission, they will think that you have joined the Alliance. In fact, you

No. This kind of misunderstanding should not occur, Your Excellency."

Varian also agreed. "Shor is right, Khadgar. Does the Kirin Tor Council know what you are doing? You will push Dalaran to our side. The Horde will regard you as enemies." King

Looking at the old mage carefully, Khadgar may have closed his eyes because of his reminder.

Does he have something to hide? Varian wondered.

When the mage's eyes opened and their eyes met, the king felt a tremor. He felt that there was something strange between him and Khadgar. Maybe it was because Khadgar was hiding something. Maybe under the old mage's piercing eyes

It hides more things, not just magical knowledge that ordinary people can't imagine.

"I understand." Khadgar said, "In fact, I just want to meet Nathanos as a member of the Alliance. I went through the entire Second War with him. When I heard that he captured Los Angeles

When I visited Danlun, I was very surprised and wanted to talk to him."

"I understand how you feel, Khadgar." Varian replied out of politeness. Besides, he couldn't find a word to say.

Khadgar also felt this. He smiled at the person on the throne and bowed again. "Forgive me for interrupting, Your Majesty. But before leaving, I also want to visit Danath Trollbane."

"Please, this city will always open its door to you."

Watching the old mage leave, Varian fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Xiao Er's voice pulled him out of the fog of thinking. "Your Majesty, it seems that the Archmage is hiding something from us."

"I hope this is not true, Shaw. I don't even want to doubt Khadgar. But his words...have to make me think that way." Varian frowned and said. He still didn't understand.

Khadgar's behavior seemed suspicious, as if it was intentional.

Shore said one of the many doubts: "He didn't seem disappointed after being rejected by us. I doubt this was the result he wanted."

"But why would he do this?"

"Maybe it has something to do with Nathanos."

Varian opened his eyes, and some of the doubts in his mind dissipated.

"Do you want to monitor Khadgar, Your Majesty?"

"No, don't do that. Although Khadgar may have taken advantage of us, he will not do anything to harm the Alliance, just let everything take its course."

…

"how many?"

The current owner of Lordaeron is looking forward to the bells that are about to ring from the bell tower. The last bit of sunlight from the setting sun shines through the stained glass windows on the vault of the throne room. After a while, he will go to the location of the tribal envoys.

In the last moment before this, he wanted to hear some good news.

"Eight." The answer came from Belmont's mouth.

"Eight?" Nathanos repeated the number. "Two more than the Horde? I just can't believe it. The king of Stormwind is actually more enthusiastic than the warchief of the Horde."

Belmont also smiled and added: "Yes, Master. And everyone in the alliance mission is considered a big shot."

Nathanos stretched out his hand, took the list handed over by Belmont, glanced at it quickly, and then asked: "Is the information accurate?"

"Absolutely true."

Every name on the list deserves careful consideration. Nathanos searched in his mind for the appearance, identity, and various racial interests represented by the owner of the name.

"I'm afraid there will never be such a luxurious mission in the history of Azeroth. However, the person who came is not evil." He commented.

Belmont didn't know why Nathanos said the last four words. Maybe he was telling him the alliance's conspiracy in a subtle way. "Master, do you want..."

Nathanos raised his hand to interrupt him. "These people all have different identities, such as Shandris Feathermoon, who is the representative of the night elves. Do you know why Tyrande or Varian sent her here?"

"

"The general of the Sentinel Force is a hawk in the Alliance. Perhaps her abilities will add a bit of strength to the Alliance mission," Belmont said.

"This is not the most important thing." Nathanos continued, "The important thing is that her Feathermoon Fortress is in Feralas. And not long ago, Dire Maul was captured by us. She came here to test us.
To be continued...
