Chapter 39: The Banquet of Lothar

Due to the sudden arrival of Li Xiang, no substantive results were reached in the second half of the meeting, except for the determination that everyone wanted to form an alliance. After the meeting was adjourned, everyone left and discussed with each other, waiting for a new meeting to be held in a few days.

In the corner of the hallway, two small children peeked at the people who came out.

"It's amazing, so young to scare that damn Aiden like that, I've long looked at him unpleasantly. The light-haired child said.

The dark-haired kid beside him didn't say anything, just looked at Lothar with a determined expression.

In the evening, Lee wanted to take Fina and Onexia to a banquet at Lothar's temporary residence.

"This garden is fine, and this old king is not bad to you. ”

Lothar nodded, and led the three of them inside, and when they walked through the corridor, Li Xiang saw two children playing with wooden swords.

Li Xiang pointed over there: "Who are those two children?"

Lothar looked over and said, "The dark-haired one is Varian, and the light-haired one is Arthas, the son of King Terenus Minehir." ”

"Oh, that's the son of King Varian Lane, and it's the first time I've seen him, and he's a lot better at using a sword than Arthas on the side. With a good teacher to teach, I believe he will become an outstanding fighter, just like his father. ”

"Hmm. Lothar's eyes showed sadness.

Li Xiang patted him on the shoulder: "Believe me, you will return to your homeland." ”

"How long are you going to talk? I can't wait for dinner. ”

Khadgar, with a wrinkled face and gray hair, urged.

Li Xiang followed the voice and looked over: "This voice?

Khadgar rolled his eyes speechlessly, he didn't want to defend the name anymore: "It's me." ”

"After half a year, you turned into this picture, which is really tricky. ”

"Well, let's go into the house and catch up. ”

A few people had dinner and talked about what happened after they parted. Khadgar and Lothar defeated the legendary mage Medivan, but at the cost of Khadgar's transformation from a handsome young man to a gray-haired old man, and Lothar lost two of his best brothers, Medivan and King Ryan, and was swallowed up by the orcs.

"Alas, those orcs are too cunning, and we didn't lose unjustly, but the soldiers who died in battle and the civilians ......"

Lothar's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke.

Li Xiang also made a sad appearance: "Our mercenaries have also sacrificed a lot. ”

The mercenaries hired before the fall of the Stormwind Kingdom were Terran mercenaries led by Florcia, and most of the warriors came from the kingdoms of the Lilbana Islands, and the battle loss rate of more than half of them was enough to explain the tragedy of the war. It's not without gains, Florcia also won the title of "Hero of Azeroth" because of his outstanding military exploits, and it is precisely because of this hero under his command that the righteous Lothar said that Li Xiang changed from a passerby to a nodding friend, and this time the voluntary help made Li Xiang's image in his heart rise.

"The people of Stormwind will remember them. I heard Florcia say, you are the most powerful among you, this time the orcs threaten our homeland, will you fight together?"

Li Xiang shook his head: "My appearance fee is very expensive. This time, the human kingdoms are all united, and if I can't defeat the orcs, I can't do anything. At most, I alone can change the outcome of a campaign, but I can't change the overall situation. ”

Lothar sighed, "Your things are good, but it's a pity that they're too expensive. ”

"After all, everything has a cost, don't think how much we earn, I will pay the commissions earned from your Stormwind Kingdom as a pension to the families of the victims. ”

"But if the price is cheaper, we can arm more fighters and protect more civilians. ”

"I've done my best, after all, I'm only in the majority. ”

Li Xiang stretched out his hand, and Fina handed over a few pages.

Lothar took it: "Eighty fold!"

"That's the lowest price I can give. ”

"That's enough, the money minus is enough to arm a few legions, and the kings of the six kingdoms will pay for it. The world will remember your dedication, Mr. Li Xiang, you are a knight of noble character. ”

"Awards, awards. ”

"Well, let me interrupt, Mr. Li Xiang, what do you mean by 'shares' just now?"

"You can understand it as the right to speak, after all, we cooperate with other tribes, I account for fifty percent, and the rest of the tribes account for fifty percent. That's why I said that 20% off is the lowest price I can give, and any lower than that of the other tribes will impeach me. ”

"Your group is strong, why work with those races, especially the Naga. ”

"Each has its own strengths, complements each other, and our group wouldn't have grown so much without those other races, as we all know, we work with Naga goblins and rare ghost clans. Humans are responsible for the main commercial networks, the Oni are responsible for the transportation and security of goods, the goblins are responsible for product manufacturing and new inventions, and the Naga are responsible for maritime security. One ring after another, we are where we are today. As for the Naga, they have many tribes, just like your human kingdom, and they can't be generalized. ”

Khadgar seemed to accept Li Xiang's explanation.

In fact, these explanations are all farting. The Li Group has no shares at all, because it is all owned by Li Xiang alone. All ethnic groups actually work for Li Xiang, but this part-time job is lifelong if nothing else. As for the price, not to mention that the eight-fold discount is a big profit, after all, only a small amount of labor costs need to be deducted from raw materials to processing, especially after the goblin is added, and a non-precise lathe is also manufactured, and the labor cost is saved. As for the division of labor among the various groups that Li wanted to mention, it was even more nonsense, the commercial network was under the control of the Ministry of Finance, and all ethnic groups had it; the transportation of goods was all dependent on the Hearthstone Teleportation Array; the manufacturing of products was all handed over to the people of the Lilbana Islands, and jobs could be created at a low cost; and the maritime security? The sea was Enzos's territory, and no one dared to touch Enzos's ships without opening his eyes.

Li Xiang leaned on the back of the chair with his legs crossed, and after finishing talking about business, several people were chatting about some interesting things, and Li Xiang saw Onixia sitting in the back reporting this plate one by one stuffing a kind of cookie into his mouth, and his cheeks were squeezed.

Li Xiang stretched out his claws, Onexia grabbed the plate and looked at Li Xiang vigilantly, Li Xiang pointed to the plate, and Onexia handed the plate over angrily.

Li Xiang pulled a small cookie and threw it into his mouth: "Hey, this dessert is good." ”

Khadgar did it. ”

"Oh, you can make desserts?"
