Mystic Wizard in Azeroth

In Silvermoon City, in the large meeting room on the lower floor of the Tower of Sunfury, the annual summary meeting is in progress.

"The financial situation of the past year has come out. The overall tax revenue of the Eversong Forest area is the same as last year, and the tax revenue of the Silver Moon Forest area has risen sharply. Among them, the Windrunner Village and the Farwalker Fortress have increased by 67% and 100% respectively compared to last year. Thirteenths. Among them, the increase in taxes on alcohol and enchanted items sold outside accounts for the majority, and the overall tax situation of the kingdom is very good." A councilor reported to the king sitting on the throne while looking at the parchment in his hand.

"And what about population change?"

Another MP stood up: "Your Majesty, this year's domestic population flow is more frequent than in previous years, mainly because the compatriots of Silvermoon City chose to move out, because the mage lord of Farstrider Fortress recruited a large number of low-level rangers and mages. , Many compatriots who had no hope of promotion in Silvermoon City chose to accept his employment, which greatly relieved the population pressure of Silvermoon City. In addition, he also recruited some craftsmen and technicians, and we don't know exactly where they will go."

Anasteria continued, "Isn't the population increasing?"

"According to reports, in the past two months, a large number of purple-skinned compatriots who claimed to be Syndra entered the territory of Windrunner Village and Farwalker Fortress. They claimed to have accepted the recruitment of Lord Aristophanes and traveled across the sea. Come here hoping to join Quel'Thalas."

"He has already submitted the application report before this, and I have met the compatriots of El Salas. Is there anything else to report?"

The councilors looked at each other and shook their heads, and Anasteria began to conclude: "According to your report, we can know that not only Silvermoon City, but the middle and lower-level mages and rangers in Quel'Thalas began to Outward flow, at the same time many high-quality rare materials appeared on the market, promoting the circulation of wealth, which is a good thing for the development of the kingdom. Next, our policies will continue to tilt towards the border, especially the Silvermoon Forest At the same time, we must make good use of the external commercial port developed by Windrunner."

After setting the tone for the next work and passing the resolution, Anasteria invited the council mages present to attend the annual royal dinner as usual.

"Belovar, what are you thinking about here?" Anasteria asked the dazed Grand Magister holding a plate.

"Your Majesty," Beloval bowed slightly, and then took a sip of the wine in his glass, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about an arcane question."

Anasteria nodded meaningfully, and then said, "I thought you would object to my final decision!"

"You are joking, Your Majesty. As you said, the circulation of wealth is beneficial to the development of the kingdom. Although the port has weakened the importance of Takulin, it has also opened up new sources of income for us.

Focusing on investment and utilization is the right thing to do. "

The king didn't say anything more, he patted the shoulder of the Arcanist, and then turned to entertain the other elves.

Belovar narrowed his eyes and clenched the glass in his hand.

At night, Daywalker was in the manor outside Silvermoon City, and the Grand Arcanist was sitting around with several councilors.

"Your Excellency, Grand Arcanist, we must restrict the trade in Windrunner Village!" Councilor Fenrir asked anxiously Belovar who was sitting at the head.

"Why, is it that the residents of Silvermoon City don't buy your wine anymore, or your alchemy products can't be sold to humans?" Belovar asked blankly.

Fenrir blushed, and he argued: "Your Excellency, our main buyers of wine are low-level rangers and low-level mages who get drunk all the year round. Since his recruitment notice was posted a few months ago, we In addition, we usually arrange caravans to enter the human world through Taquilin to trade in the south, but since the port in Fengxing Village was built, the business of the caravans has become more and more difficult, and there have been managers Resign from me and choose to join the shipping at the port!"

"Don't you have any ships? I remember that the king gave us a share of ships. You have quite a few ships in Sunsail Port!" Belovar said.

At this time, another member of the council replied: "Your Excellency, it's not what you understand. We tried sea trade two years ago, but due to the lack of charts, the major families suffered heavy losses, and this work had to stop."

"A heavy loss? How bad is it?"

At this time, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but did not speak.

Beloval was a little impatient: "Can you tell me? I'm here to solve your problems tonight, not to watch you perform pantomime!"

"Uh, it's actually not that big. It's just that the ship of Amber Light's family encountered a sea storm after leaving Quel'Thalas. The ship was severely damaged and came back in despair. And at that time, the sea trade was not as huge as it is now. Profits, the income our caravan earns is much higher than that of the Windrunner and the Families of the Farstrider Fortress, and the tax rate is also lower, so that's why," Fenrir said hesitantly.

Belovar took up the conversation: "Then you see that Windrunner's income is so good this year, are you jealous?"

Looking at the members of parliament who were no more than magisters in front of him, Beloval was silent for a while, and then he asked the elves in front of him: "So you mean that the parliament puts pressure on the king to revoke the trading permission of Fengxing Village? But what about the excuse? Their taxes are there, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to change the king's mind."

The elves looked at each other with happy faces, and Fenrir took a step forward: "Revocation does not need to be revoked. Our plan is to hope that the king understands that the establishment of Quel'Thalas depends on us, the mage family, not Windrunner is a military aristocrat who is mainly a ranger. The existence of the port in Windrunner Village has greatly enhanced the economic independence of the military nobles headed by Windrunner. This is not conducive to the stability of the kingdom, so the parliament can take over this commercial port. , which not only ensures the operation of the port, but also maintains the tradition of Quel'Thalas."

"Then what if the Windrunner, or the Fortress of the Farwalker disagrees?" Belovar asked lightly.

"We invited their de facto commanders, Aristophanes Windrunner and Ranger-General Liresa Windrunner, to come to Silvermoon City for consultation. When they leave the station, send our men to take over the port, even if they don't agree, In the face of the pressure from the parliament, you must have to admit the change of the port's management right!" The member of the amber light family expressed his idea.

"And what if the king doesn't agree? Or do they resist?"

"The king will definitely agree," Fenrir said confidently. "Anyway, Silvermoon City and Sunwell are managed by our mage families, unless the king wants these places to get out of control, and His Majesty Anasteria's last words mean that we don't want us to Intervene in the operation of that port; as for resistance, under the light of the Sunwell, what kind of storm can a mere two or three hundred-year-old mage cause!"

Belovar sighed when he saw that they had made up their plans word by word, and thought they had figured out Anasteria's mind.

"Okay, just submit your reports when the reconsideration is held tomorrow morning, and I won't participate." Belovar summoned a blue portal and walked in without waiting for their reaction.

"Fenrir, can our plan work? Why do I feel that Your Excellency the Grand Arcanist is not very satisfied with our plan." A councilman asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, dear Kells, we have made such a plan, taking into account the king's reaction and their reaction, we can't fail, and we can definitely take the port smoothly. Think about it, once the port belongs to us , how many Phoenix gold coins will be in our pockets!" Fenrir Daywalker raised his glass and said, "As for the Grand Arcanist, His Excellency Belovar has always been like this, as long as we hand in the materials and gold coins he needs on time , does not affect his analysis of the Sunwell, we can do whatever we want! Moreover, the plan we made this time also weakened the power of His Majesty the King, maybe His Excellency the Great Arcanist and we can take advantage of the trend to obtain more Sunwells from the King Magic share!"

"You are really good, Fenrir," another member of parliament flattered at the right time, "I think once Lord Belovar retires, you must be the speaker."

"Hahaha, thanks for your good words, Sylvester. Alright, fellow citizens, let's hold up our wine glasses to celebrate this victory ahead of time!" Fenrir clinked glasses with the congressmen present one by one after finishing speaking.

"Cheers!" Afterwards, they drank the wine in their glasses, Fenrir clapped his hands, and several graceful female elves in light veils walked in.

"This is our handpicked maid, I hope I can give you a satisfying night!" Fenrir said, "You must accompany you adults well!"

Before he finished speaking, the councilors embraced the maids who were close to him one after another, and even hugged two of them at once in a hurry. With tender laughter, they left the hall one after another and walked into the dormitory that had been prepared .

When the last councilor left, Fenrir sat alone in the hall, the flame from the arcane lantern swaying in the wind, and he supported his chin with both hands. The face that had been smiling before was hidden in the shadows.

"I will avenge you, Elton," Fenrir said softly, "in the name of the Daywalker family."
