On the platform, a long table and chairs in the Kaldorei style had been set up, and fruits and starry moon well water were placed on the table to entertain the human guests.
Except for Varian, Jaina and two lieutenants, the other human knights and scouts did not follow, but performed guard work under the stage. On the night elf side, only Tyrande, Malfurion and several maids were on the stage.
After a brief and polite greeting, the leaders of both sides got down to business. They first introduced each other's general situation, and talked about religion, culture, and history. Of course, later on, they mainly talked about military affairs. Both sides talked for a long time on this aspect, and both felt that they had met too late. The human side lacked elite long-range archers like the night elves, and the night elves also lacked a large number of melee soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding shields. In addition, the two sides had similar beliefs, and the priests and priests could be used in a unified manner. Therefore, they quickly reached an agreement on the willingness to cooperate and quickly began to discuss in detail the methods of cooperation.
While the discussion between Varian, Tyrande and Malfurion was becoming more and more heated, Claudia felt a little bored. Another lieutenant, Arthur, took the initiative to take on the task of recording the meeting. She really had nothing else to do in a meeting of this level, so with nothing to do, the blonde girl soon began to daydream. After drinking a glass of moon well water and eating some fruit, she sat at the table and observed the surrounding scenery.
Mount Hyjal is the sacred mountain of the night elves. It not only houses the temple of the wilderness gods, but also the World Tree worshipped by the night elves. Therefore, it is usually well-maintained by the night elves. The temple is surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful. At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and the golden sunlight shone on Claudia, making her warm and comfortable. After a while, she couldn't help but feel sleepy.
Claudia didn't sleep well last night. She was so excited that she didn't fall asleep until long after midnight. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so overslept in the morning as she had been well-trained since childhood. Moreover, she was only sixteen years old after all, which was the age for sleepiness. So, after eating and drinking enough in the warm sunshine, her eyelids were fighting more and more violently, and the words of Varian Tyrande and others around her gradually became more and more like a lullaby.
Just as Claudia was about to fall asleep and make a fool of herself, a rough, powerful hand suddenly came from behind and wrapped its arms around her slender waist. The fingertips flicked hard, and the special strength transmitted from the soft flesh of her waist instantly woke Claudia up. She soon realized that the hand on her waist came from Varian on her left. At this time, Varian was looking at Tyrande and Malfurion opposite him with a normal expression, while Jaina was discussing the use of magic with them.
"Respected High Priest and Archdruid, with all due respect, you should not ban magic just because it has caused disasters. Even if you don't use it, traces of magic can be found in every corner of the world, such as Quel'Thalas, Dalaran, and Stormwind City. Your ban can only prohibit your own people from using magic, but it cannot prevent others outside your territory, or even your enemies, from using magic."
"Magic is a sharp sword. Since we can't stop the enemy from wielding it, we should study how to scabbard it to prevent it from injuring us, rather than fighting an enemy wielding a sword with our bare hands out of fear of being hurt by it."
Jaina's philosophical words were attracting the attention of Tyrande and Malfurion. Claudia was instantly relieved when she saw that the two of them didn't notice her previous loss of composure. Then she remembered Varian beside her and his big hands still hugging her.
Oh no, why was I so sleepy just now? I almost did something rude.
Claudia, knowing she had made a mistake, suddenly wailed in her heart, all her sleepiness disappeared, and she quickly straightened her body. Varian, who was standing by, saw from the corner of his eye that the girl had woken up, and he pinched her again with his right hand without leaving any trace and then retracted it.
Claudia felt a sudden tingling sensation in her waist. She glanced at Varian with a sad look in her eyes. Varian remained calm and agreed with some of Jaina's views on magic. "Yes, as far as I know, the Kirin Tor has been using magic safely over the years. If you need it, we can ask other archmages to share their experiences."
At this time, Malfurion had also been persuaded by Jaina. After all, what Jaina said was obvious. Banning magic was only banning their own people. The night elves had suffered a lot from the lack of spellcasters in the battles in recent days.
Tyrande also nodded to Jaina and said: "We will no longer mind our allies releasing magic on Kaldorei lands, and after the war is over, we will decide whether to lift the ban on magic based on the opinions of other tribes."
In the following time, the two sides reached an agreement on many methods of cooperation. For example, the night elves would be responsible for the food and herbal supply for humans in this battle, humans and night elves could trade certain items in the future, humans could borrow a group of druids to repair some barren land of humans, etc. Claudia listened attentively for the rest of the time and did not fall asleep again. She looked at Varian next to her from time to time. She felt a little ashamed when the king caught her napping.
After the main business was settled, the overall atmosphere of the meeting became noticeably more relaxed, and they gradually started talking about other topics. Jaina once tried to ask for some druid books and moon well water to study, and Malfurion readily agreed to her request and reminded her that the energy in the moon well water would basically dissipate within a few hours.
Varian finally had time to turn his head to his adjutant who had made the mistake and lowered his voice: "I will punish you when we get back." Then Varian turned his head again and joined the conversation among others.
