The next day, a strange and quick news spread in the Elwyn Forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The beautiful and noble Count Catlana Presto has a new suitor, the famous "Deliverer of Lothar", Drunken.

Drunken Wind felt that he had never been so "windy", and everywhere he went, the nobles, both men and women, stared at him and whispered. Drunken Feng, who was uncomfortable, could only take refuge in the Lion King's Pride Hotel while riding a can, while complaining in his heart.

"The most poisonous woman's heart! According to the plan, there was no need for this, so she found an excuse to let her Black Dragonman guards spread the news, and now I successfully replaced Tulayan and became the number one male public enemy...... And Anduin, you're dirty! Still on the side! I also misread you, King Wa, you laugh like a mentally retarded person with a capital letter! ”

On the other hand, the Senate of Stormwind held a meeting of nobles on the topic of "helping Stormwind rebuild", but everyone present had nothing to do with this topic.

After a lengthy conversation, the nobles finally got to the point: after asking everyone not to keep paper records, they began to discuss what to do with Anduin Lothar's last "bloody banquet".

This time, to everyone's surprise, the usually scheming Duke Disa was the first to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Lothar has actually chosen a very good opportunity to act, let us observe a moment of silence for the 11 persecuted nobles. But Lothar's operation can only end there! I'm sure the poor worm Lothar dealt with last time was the guy he had all the evidence for. ”

"For the Brotherhood of Stonemasons and the Ratchet City Construction Group, Count Presto's plan is very ingenious, and once the plan is successfully implemented, the salaries of a few untouchables can bring Lothar back to the political table, which is obviously very worthwhile."

"The Orc War is over, and all of us here have suffered great losses in this war. We have a right to demand from the Kingdom to make amends for our losses! Of course, the 'great' Sir Lothar would have favoured the mud-legged for the sake of his own good name, and I believe that he had turned the last noble realm into a free land! (Freeland: Non-fiefdom land directly under Stormwind, where civilians are taxed very low as long as they are law-abiding.) We need time to build up strength, so we can only create a little chaos. ”

Most of you here didn't know about Presto's full plan, but everyone was convinced of Duke Disa's claim - accustomed to pretending to be above the commoners, and the nobles could not tolerate these mud legs getting out of their hands.

"Below, who has a good idea? Count Presto's plan will take a long time, and we must strive to gain this time to ensure that it is carried out. ”

"There have been some orcs operating in the Burning Plains lately, so how about we suggest that Lothar deal with these orcs and give them his news? A hero like Sir Lothar must have a hero's home! "There were reckless aristocrats who were the first to come up with their ideas.

"Shut up, idiot, if you want to die, it's more convenient to go outside and jump into the river, at least it won't bother everyone." Duke Disa made no secret of his contempt for this little nobleman, "Think with your immature mind, MI7 has just been reorganized, and if war breaks out again at this time, I'm sure the entire Burning Plains will be full of MI7 spies." Contact orcs? You'd better think about what happened to King Alterac! ”

"Ignore that whimsical idiot, actually, I got interesting news from Drunkenwind: Sir Lothar seems to have borrowed a large sum of money from the goblins, promising to use Stormwind's taxes as collateral." Catlana Presto's words were like a stone thrown into the waters of a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves.

Hearing this news, the eyes of everyone present lit up - the goblin's money Lothar also dared to borrow it? It seems that he really has no money at this time.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure, in fact, the royal family's savings are only enough to pay the Ratchet City Construction Group, and all of you here have dealt with goblins, could the asking price of those green-skinned dwarfs be as low as Sir Lothar publicly announced?"

This explanation fully convinced the nobles present that there were once some people who hired goblins in order to rush the work, and the price was really unacceptable.

It's a pity that these nobles didn't realize that in the past, goblins used a lot of goblin construction machinery when building buildings, and the cost was extremely high; This time it was the Minotaur who contributed, and the salary was last winter's grain and now the rice! Although Ghazruvi has been complaining that this group of stupid cows can eat, compared to the frequent explosions and breakdowns of machinery, the cost of this group of minotaurs is terrifyingly low!

Duke Disa seemed to see the opportunity to win the struggle, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became bright, not at all like a sixty-year-old man.

He stomped the cane in his hand twice on the ground, stopping the nobles from whispering: "Quiet! I have a plan! ”

In Duke Disa's opinion, Sir Lothar, who holds great power, has made a huge contribution to the entire Human Alliance, so it is better not to confront him head-on, and all the struggles are better to be completed at the negotiating table, and find a way to prevent Lothar from flipping the table.

According to the ancient Stormwind convention, the taxation of Stormwind after a major change was decided by a general assembly of all nobles, subject to the opinion of the majority of the people. Once the decision is made, any additional tax increase by the lord (including the king) will be considered a crime, and the nobles who raise the tax will be demoted to commoners and all their property will be confiscated; If he is the king, he will face abdication.

This time Lothar borrowed money from the goblins, as long as all the nobles insisted on leviing only very low taxes, the loan would firmly choke Lothar's neck, leaving him breathless and unable to repay the loan. When the time comes, for the sake of gold coins, no matter how great the hero is, he can only agree to the conditions of the nobles.

What the? Don't pay back the goblins?

No kidding, doing so will allow the Goblin Siege Machine to bulldoze the entire Elwyn Forest!

Forced tax increases? Then Sir Lothar's popularity will plummet to the bottom, and Lothar, who has lost his prestige, will never want to fight the nobles unless he tears his face and uses force - it would be very interesting if Lothar dared to use force: a certain famous hero raised a criminal butcher's knife in the face of the ineffective opposition of the righteous nobles in order to raise taxes on the poor commoners......

After the plan, the nobles laughed, as if they had seen Sir Lothar pleading with him in a low voice, and a sickly joy quickly spread.

It was a pity that no one noticed the sarcastic sneer on the lips of Count Catlana Presto.

"Idiot ......"
