"Your Majesty, this is the tax statistics of various places this year, please check it. ”

This is the palace of Stormwind, and now the king of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn's study, a kind old butler walks in with a stack of papers.

"Just put it there for now, I'll see it later. Now the supreme leader of the Storm Kingdom was playing chess with an old man, and he was very focused, and when the old butler heard this, he put down the documents in his hand and stood quietly aside.

"Oops! Lost again! Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy......" After a long time, Varian ended in a crushing defeat with an absolute disadvantage.

"Haha, Your Majesty, do you want another game?" The old man opposite him laughed, only to see that he was richly dressed, the corners of his eyebrows and beard were all neatly trimmed, and he knew that he was a big man at a glance.

"No, I'm not masochistic. Varian pouted and shook his head, "I'd better go and look at the tax statistics first." ”

With that, Varian moved his sedentary body, walked to his desk, picked up the papers, and read them.

At the first glance, he exclaimed: "Oh, this year's income is good! The western wilderness alone has a full 100,000 gold more than last year, and it seems that it is another good year." Varian smiled with satisfaction.

The old man who was playing chess with him was drinking on the side at this time, and when he heard Varian's words, he smiled and said: "This is all a blessing that has dragged Your Majesty, this year the wind and rain are good, and my territory alone has risen by 10,000 gold in taxes." ”

Varian smiled and nodded, "It seems that it won't be long before the kingdom returns to its pre-orc glory." ”

Varian then turned to the old butler and asked, "Is there a plan for how to spend the money?"

The old steward immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please look at the second page, Madam Katrana plans to build a dam in the western wilderness so that the peasants can irrigate their fields, this is the specific plan...... There are many other construction plans as well, and we ......"

Under the explanation of the old butler, Varian nodded frequently: "Miss Katrana is really an erudite genius, thanks to her Stormwind Kingdom can recover so quickly, by the way, I heard that Boval is fiercely pursuing her, has their relationship progressed?"

At this time, the aristocratic old man smiled and said: "The Duke of Fortagen has been very happy lately, the two have just announced their engagement not long ago, but the engagement ceremony has not yet taken place, and Berval has successfully moved into Ms. Catlana's manor, and the two are now like glue. ”

"Really, I said I haven't seen him lately. Varian laughed and scolded, "This guy forgets his friends when he has a woman, but ...... Although the Presto family is a descendant of the declining royal family, it is also a good match for Bolval, so let's go and help me choose a gift in two days, which is my blessing, and choose a more valuable one. Varian instructed the old butler.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

After reading all the reports, Varian asked about something else: "What is the situation with Lordaeron?"

"The situation on Lordaeron's side is quite ideal, with the full help of the alliance countries, His Majesty Arthas has recovered a large amount of lost territory, and the mages of Dalaran have also found a way to restrain the plague, and I believe that it will not be long before the undead scourge will be completely eradicated. ”

"That's great. Varian laughed with satisfaction, and then didn't know what came to mind, his smile gradually froze, and then he sighed heavily: "When I was driven out of my home by the orcs, it was His Majesty Terenus who accepted me, and he treated me like his own son, and spared no effort to help me rebuild my home after the war, if I could...... I wish I could avenge him with my own hands. ”

When the old butler and the noble old man heard this, they became anxious: "Your Majesty, you must not be impulsive! You are the future of the entire Storm Kingdom, anyone can be in danger, but you must not have any problems!"

"Haha, I understand. Looking at the two of them excitedly, Varian smiled: "I understand, and the one who should really be the enemy is Arthas, and no one is qualified except him." ”

After laughing dryly, Varian sighed again: "But let's strengthen the material assistance, even if they win soon, but the reconstruction of the disaster area is still a big trouble, so let's allocate 30,000 gold from my private treasury, and then allocate 100,000 from this year's taxes, and let Miss Katrana help calculate how to do it, and then tell me if there is trouble." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"That's it, haha, then we can only pray that next year will be so good and rainy. Varian stretched, then took a grape and put it in his mouth, when he suddenly thought of something, and said to the old butler who was packing up the papers, "By the way, what is the situation with the Eberlocks?

The aristocratic old man said: "The night still hangs there, but with our help, Duke Eberlock has survived the most difficult times, and although he can only produce some ordinary food, the revival of the territory has begun, and they have recently made a product called soap and perfume, which you have also used, and praised the person who invented this commodity, in fact, this soap is the property of the Eberlock family, which shows that they have successfully found another way to make money." ”

"Oh, did they invent soap? That's good, the Eberlocks have been the most powerful supporters of our royal family for a long time, and we can't ignore them now that they're in danger, but it's great to see them revitalized, if only the night had gone away, and I remember when I was a kid I ate their grapes, and the grapes were so sweet......"

..................

"My lord, do you really want to part with us?" Not far outside Stormwind City, Zhang Li and several messengers had already walked here.

"Yes, not only will we be separated, but you must not tell anyone about me, and if the letter you send this time becomes unheard of, I will have to sneak into the palace to talk to His Majesty. Zhang Li said.

"Sneaking up...... It sounds like the king is going to be assassinated. When one of the messengers heard Zhang Li say this, he muttered something in a low voice.

"Smack!" his companion directly gave him a brainstorm: "Stupid! How could the Lord assassinate the king?"

"That's it, with the strength of an adult, if you want to assassinate you, you have already assassinated you, how can you let us know?" another messenger gave him a brain break.

"Hey, the adults haven't said anything, you two just want to beat me up for some reason, right?!" said that the man was about to fight back, and then the two men instantly reached an alliance and began to fight two against one, and the poor guy had a lot of big bags on his head.

"Haha! Okay, I'm leaving now, don't look for me, if you're done with things, you can go back by yourself first, by the way, Lao Tzu won't assassinate any king, Lao Tzu still has an estate in Night Town, I won't give up this good life to be a wanted criminal." ”
