Returning to the plaza of the town hall, Locke looked at the empty town hall, then looked back at the undead civilians who had nothing to do. He suddenly realized that if this momentum continued, it was not impossible for him to divide the Forsaken under Sylvanas in the ruins of Lordaeron. They simply had to leave the confines of human life because they were spurned and feared by humans. But under their own guidance, as long as human beings gradually understand them and uncover their mysteries, this gap is believed to slowly disappear.

In the end, this group of undead with free will, not expecting them to become their staunch supporters, at least become a member of Lordaeron, and work hard for the rise and fall of this kingdom. Because I can tolerate them, it doesn't mean that people and forces in other regions will tolerate them

Moreover, if Sylvanas is really ambitious, then he will definitely leave the ruins of Lordaeron! This move was a huge shock to her and her forces of the Forsaken! Unless she can abandon everything she has at her disposal, it is obviously not possible. So, is it possible to realize your final plan?

As for whether she would attack herself, Locke thought it was impossible. First of all, there was the agreement of the Eternal Well Darkan, and secondly, even if she really wanted to attack herself. The Forsaken's internal Security Service agents will also relay the message.

That's also the benefit of building these undead towns!

Originally, Locke wanted to stay here a little longer, but time was really short.

Locke was found by a herald from Iva City.

The trade mission of the Kurtilas has arrived?

Locke folded the letter in his hand, still a little surprised. The people of Kul Tiras have sent the most powerful envoys of all time!

Led by Catherine Proudmoore, the Duchess of Esphane and Major General Stozon, who came last time, made up of dozens of lords, large and small, a trade negotiation team! He was accompanied by the heirs of the Vikris family, the sage of the sea tide of the Stoozon family, and so on. A large fleet with trade as its main objective entered the port of Iva

At this moment, the trade group is on its way to Iva. Because of the urgency, the herald came through the portal in the wizarding quarters.

Then there is nothing to say, Locke said goodbye to the very unexpected old priest at that time, this old priest was very helpless, he still has a lot of things to tell Locke related to the town of the dead, and he can only wait for the next time.

When I came, I was relaxed, and on the way back, I had to hurry up. It only took one day for Locke to reach the portal of the Ash Manor. Locke met Durand who was waiting for him, and hurriedly told him that some of the Twilight's Hammer cultists were going to cooperate with the Security Service, and he had to enter the portal.

He had to get to Iva before dark, and in the evening there was a noble banquet that he had to attend, and as the host of the place, he had to be present to greet the guests from Kurtilas.

On this side of the portal, there are already people waiting here. When Locke appeared on the floor of the wizard's teleportation hall, his figure had just solidified, and someone hurried up to him.

"Your Excellency, you shouldn't have taken that risk!"

Locke squinted at the slight dizziness of the teleportation, and in his somewhat shaky gaze, Sir Mormont was looking at Locke with a bitter and bitter expression. "You're not a risk-taker! You are the king of this country! How can any king go on an expedition to a tomb where an evil god sleeps? ”

"If you don't take the risk, do you want to watch that monster wake up? Turn the Tirisfal Glades into Hell? Evelena, who had just come out, was reluctant at the time, she glared and stepped forward to scold Mormont, "If it weren't for Lord Harvey's presence, I believe that it would have really become hell there!" ”

"Evelena!" The old Tawad, who appeared next, shouted the name of the excited female guard. Hearing Old Tawad's voice, Evelyna looked at Mormont dissatisfiedly and snorted coldly, and then returned to Old Tawad's back with her head held high.

"I'm sorry, my lord, we shouldn't have let Lord Harvey take this risk. This is indeed our fault. Old Tawad stopped the unconvinced Evelena with a stern look, and he continued to say in an apologetic tone, "But I didn't have it at that time, and there was no other way. I will admit that I was impressed by the courage and courage of Lord Harvey, who was indeed a noble king. Of course, no matter how much I compliment, it can't compare to the evaluation of Lord Harvey by the Human Emperor Soladin."

"Soladin?" It may be that many unimportant things were overlooked in the process of spreading the news, and Mormont apparently did not know what Locke had encountered in the cemetery. He looked at the group behind Locke suspiciously, "Soradin? The first human emperor of the Araso Empire? Isn't he dead for thousands of years? ”

"Forget it, we'll talk about that later." Mormont loosened the tight leather buttons around his neck, and he stepped forward and grabbed Locke's arm and pulled him out, "Time may be a little tight, and in more than two hours Lady Catherine and her envoys will enter the banquet hall." As a local host, you definitely need to be there to greet you. ”

"Queen Kalia, I'm already preparing clothes for you to attend the dinner party in the evening," Mormont paused for a moment at Kalia's identity, and then continued with a normal expression, "As your lordship, we will all attend this banquet. I'll be by your side to introduce you to the big names of Kurtilas who have come to Ivar. You know."

Mormont shrugged, but there was a smug look on his face that could not be concealed, "When I was Prince Derrick's chief staff, I was the number one big man there!" ”

Locke smiled and nodded in agreement, and when Mormont said this, Locke could still see the smug look on his face.

Let Berg, who had heard the news, arrange for the Tyr Guards and the dwarf Black Flame, and Locke and Mormont got into the carriage.

Heading to his home in the center of Iva City, Locke and Mormont were speechless in the carriage of the carriage that was smoothly driven. After a while, Mormont began to take advantage of his free time to talk to Locke about some precautions and what he knew about the various families of Kul Tiras.

"Don't mention Lady Gianna's name at this banquet! Despite the fact that she was the daughter of Lady Catherine, the current ruler of Theramore. Don't mention her invitation to Theramore for a meeting of the Hordes and Alliances. Mormont said solemnly to Locke, "This is a taboo in Kul Tiras, and you better not have anything to do with it, my lord!" ”

Locke nodded, he naturally knew about it. Needless to say, the ghosts who couldn't sleep at night in the Endless Sea were still crying about Gianna's betrayal.

"Lady Catherine is the mother of the current Admiral of the Navy, Tamred Prodmoor. She was a powerful queen, wife, and mother who was respected by the people of Kurtilas. While I was still in Kul Tiras, she would not directly intervene in the administration of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, but she would influence the Kingdom through her husband Dalin. Judging by what I checked about Kul Tiras's current situation when I came. She is now in charge of the finances of the Proudmoor family, or she would not have led the envoys of Kul Tiras. ”

"In this mission, except for Lady Catherine, who led the team. One of the more striking of the rest is the Duchess of Plassis Esfan. Mormont leaned back into the seat of the carriage, and his eyes rested on the roof of the carriage, recalling the deeds of the Duchess.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Locke did not learn about the actual situation of the large families of Kul Tiras.

In fact, the Security Service had already put these family information on his desk a long time ago, but because he had too much work. At that time, the general Stothon had just returned to Kurtilas with Fenna, and Locke was in no hurry to learn about the history of those families. After all, those books were as thick as bricks, and Locke had thought that he would be reading them a few days before people came

Now, due to the time constraints, he can only rely on Mormon's understanding of Kurtilas to understand these great nobles, and it will be a shame to save the time when something goes wrong.

"The current patriarch of the Ashfan family, the Ashvan family, is the wife of Duke Patrick Ashvan, the Duchess I just mentioned, Plassis. It's a stout woman."

Locke lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the guards guarding the carriage outside, and he casually asked, "Strong?" Isn't that supposed to be a word to describe a woman's application? ”

Mormont spread his hands and said helplessly, "In fact, it should be very fat." I have the impression that the women of Kul Tilas like to drink and eat a lot because of their work. In short, it seems to me that every woman is fat because of alcohol and overeating. But the Duchess of Esphane was far fatter than any other woman, and I have never seen anyone fatter than her."

Locke turned his head and looked at him in surprise when he heard this, didn't he say that aristocratic women pay attention to their own body shaping?

"It's true, so well, it's best not to talk about anything related to body shape and fat in front of her." Mormont touched his chin, and he thought for a moment and continued, "Her husband, Duke Patrick, died on the shores of Kalimdor along with Admiral Daline. So don't talk about Ms. Gianna and Kalimdo. ”

"Well, I don't need to say much about that. You just need to remember that the Ashfan family today is a business-oriented family. When Kurtilas announced the severance of ties with the Alliance, the Duchess of Ashvan established the famous maritime trading company, Ashvan Trading Company, under pressure from other families, because of her relationship with Lady Catherine. ”

"As the only legal integrated trading company in Kul Tiras. The Esfan Trading Company transported raw materials from other local aristocratic industries to other regions, earning transportation costs while transporting goods that were in short supply to the island. The Ashfan family has made a lot of money over the years, and they are no longer satisfied with the position of a maritime trading company. Began to meddle in mining, forestry, fishing, private armies, and all other money-making projects. ”

"I have heard from the nobles of Kul Tiras, whom I know, that this duchess is the most attentive to this trade mission. So when several other big family leaders were watching on the island, she was the only one who took the lead in coming out and contacting you. ”

Is it?

Locke shaved the rough beard on his chin, and the merchants were all profit-seeking, and it seemed that the Duchess of Ashfan was very perceptive. Locke didn't dare to say anything else, just with the number of people living in the Silver Pine Forest now, the products they consume daily are a huge number. As long as Locke favors her when he signs a contract with her, then she can make a lot of money in this trade.

But what kind of products does she have to trade with?
