CHAPTER 40 - INDIVIDUAL TALK
…………
The meeting with Velen took place in the evening of the next day. Restalan said that the prophet had come all night and wanted to see them without any time to rest.
Nathanos also wanted to meet Velen as soon as possible to discuss cooperation. But unexpectedly, there were more people waiting for them than imagined. In addition to Velen, there were five senior Delaney figures. They must
They are all Viren's most trusted advisors.
"Welcome," Velen said in a soft voice, standing up and nodding to them, his braid dancing with his movements, "I am Velen. I am very happy that our people found you in time. Nothing has happened yet.
Too late."
"It seems that you have known about us for a long time. Did Naru give you the instructions again?"
Somehow, Velen recognized him at a glance as the man who knew many secrets mentioned by Restalan. Nathanos also felt that the prophet did not completely understand him. His eyes were different from those of others.
A lot less confusion.
Viren waved his hand for them to sit down, and they did so. The gorgeous table was surrounded by intricately carved chairs. Freshwater animal leg meat, round white bread, and piled high plates of vegetables were all the most ordinary things.
, the most familiar food.
"I am Prophet Velen." Velen introduced himself. Of course, no one here did not know him. "These are my advisors. This is..."
The big shots in the Draenei have gathered. Rumor has it that Velen once created a council of bishops, and each bishop has a relevant area of responsibility. Akama is the person Nathanos knows best, and he is the Vindicator's
Leader; Maladar is in charge of Auchindoun and is dedicated to talking to the souls of heroic spirits; Chief Ranger Nellie is the only woman among them and is also responsible for the entire intelligence network of Draenor; Archbishop Hattar is the chief technician of all cities.
The defense system of the stronghold is all made by him; the last one who belongs to the mage class, and all draenei mages are trained and taught by him, is Othaar, the governor of Shattrath.
Velen was a hospitable host, and he obviously wanted to be a good host, but when he invited Nathanos and the two to taste the food, no one picked up the knife, fork or spoon in front of them.
"You two, if you feel that they are not to your liking, I can have them replaced."
Compared to Nathanos, Alexstrasza was better at responding in a polite tone: "Thank you for your kindness, Prophet. But we can't take a bite because the Iron Horde is threatening the draenei's homeland,"
"If we can reach cooperation and face the Iron Horde together, then I will be happy to enjoy the whole table of food." Nathanos fell silent after saying this, just like everyone else.
The bishops looked at each other, and they discussed the 'agreement' in the words. Everyone's expressions were different, and only Akama and Nelli expressed their agreement after communicating with each other.
"The orcs can't find us." Nathanos thought these words came from Chief Technician Hatar, but his eyes fell on another person. Archbishop Osar shouted, and he first glared at Ah Tarr.
Lexstrasza turned her attention to the chief technician: "Isn't that right, Hatar? You promised that no one would enter our city."
Although Osar's overreaction shocked Hattar, he still nodded and explained: "Our city has a unique concealment device, it's called..."
"There's no need to go into detail." Osar interrupted him and turned his head with a sneer, "You all heard it, the orcs don't pose any threat to us."
As a spellcaster, Osar should have been able to recognize the reality more clearly instead of making nonsense. Alexstrasza kept shaking her head and sighing.
"Prophet, is it entirely up to you to make Delaney's decision?"
Velen turned his bright blue eyes to Nathanos, "I will listen carefully to the opinions of the bishops and then make a decision."
"So sometimes, your decision may run counter to the discussion results of the Bishops' Council?"
The name 'Council of Bishops' was not mentioned in the discussion just now. Velen didn't know where Nathanos heard about it. He felt chilled and nodded: "Yes, there is such a situation."
"What will happen in the end? Will the Draenei do what you say, or...them." The Blighter deliberately glanced at Osar. Governor Shatar's face had turned cold, as if he had been enchanted by ice. Especially
After Viren told him the answer, his face turned ashen.
"My people follow me."
"In that case, there is no need for you to summon your advisers because their arguments are a complete waste of time."
"How arrogant, Prophet, are you sure they are the people predicted by the Naaru?" Orsar looked at Velen with suspicion and pointed at Nathanos.
"Okay, Orsar. Making noise is not our way of hospitality." Velen motioned for Orsar to sit down, then faced the Wither, and said calmly: "I can't agree with your views, coming from other people."
Friends everywhere. I need my advisers whenever I need them. Especially in the dark times, I need their advice even more."
"You need their input just because you want better answers, but if the best answers are right in front of you, you don't have to listen to what they have to say."
Velen was stunned.
"We need to talk to you alone. Us, and you." Nathanos emphasized again.
"This sounds like a conspiracy, Prophet." Chief Ranger Nellie said, "If there are no guards, once two strangers want to harm you, we will not be able to stop them at all."
"I'm not blind yet, Nellie. I can still fight and protect myself." Velen said. After hearing this, the chief ranger nodded and sat down in shame.
"Why did you do this?" the Seer then asked the Blightcaller.
"It's simple." Nathanos crossed his arms and said righteously: "Because I don't trust any of them at all."
The implication is that he only believes in Velen. The prophet also heard this level of meaning.
"After we have talked, you can consider whether to discuss it with your advisers. The choice you make is entirely up to you."
"Even if I listen to you, I will share it with them. Instead of doing this, it is better to say it now." Velen looked left and right. His advisors have been following him for at least hundreds of years. Nathanos did not trust him.
They, Velen regards them as his confidants.
Unexpectedly, Nathanos shook his head repeatedly, "No, I don't think so. I think you will either agree to cooperate with us or drive us away immediately."
In other words, his words sounded crazy and would make Viren think he was a lunatic. The prophet was stunned for a while, and his eyes were attracted by the pair of eyes with no visible pupils.
You might as well listen to what he has to say first.
