"We were lucky that the fleet discovered this natural bay on the first day of their arrival in Tanalis. Unfortunately, the South Sea pirates who occupied this place didn't seem to welcome us, so with the help of Karegos, the Blue Dragon directly helped us clear the surrounding area. ”

"You see, these rooms only need a little renovation to meet our initial needs, which can save a lot of money. ”

Verin walked around the bay with Lanloth, without the slightest hint of the dove occupying the magpie's nest. In fact, he is not the only one who has no realization.

"Well done. Directly ignoring the other party's mouth of the South China Sea pirates who suffered a catastrophe for no reason, Lan Luos immediately gave a thumbs up when he heard that he could save money.

Receiving the approval, Verin smiled even more: "Not only that, but I have worked with the craftsmen of Queldore, as well as the experienced spellcasters left behind by the Secret Spell Society, to carefully engineer the freshwater production equipment, and with the help of the two goblin engineers you brought, I believe that our production line will be up soon." ”

"I'm not worried about that. "After a stop in Treasure Bay, Lanlos also figured out a lot of things. Although fresh water is a scarce resource in Tanaris and even in most of Kalimdo, it is largely a business strategy of the hot sand group, and it is difficult to get a lot of oil and water from it.

"What about the exploration of minerals, oil and gas, has there been any results?"

"We're not just here for these houses. Verin had obviously expected him to ask this question, clapped his hands, and looked at the rolling hills that surrounded the entire bay with his attention, "These are not sand, the dwarven miners hired by Dalaran have assured me that there are a lot of minerals hidden down here, and the blue dragon has also said that this mountain range has a high concentration of magic power, which is quite suitable for the growth of demonic crystals and minerals. ”

"As for oil and gas, we don't have the equipment, we can only judge it by experience. The shallow area near this bay stretches far into the Endless Sea, and unless you're unlucky, you won't end up with no grain. ”

"Good. Knowing that everything was going according to plan and thriving, Lanlos also let go of his hanging heart, "Next, you will make good use of those two goblin engineers, and strive to put the profit of Shui Duoduo on the agenda as soon as possible." Although we only have three reds, as long as the blue dragon is infused with demonic minerals, Queldore does not have much need for cash, as long as the water is boiled, the source of funds for the secret magic will definitely not be a problem. ”

"That's right, and we're going to be able to recruit more spellcasters in the name of interning in the bay. ”

Different from Verin's optimism, hearing this, Lan Luos's heart suddenly jumped: "Will there be many people who will stay in the bay of the secret method?"

"Counting our support staff, there are about seventy or eighty people. Hearing this question, Verin also restrained his excitement and responded with a little hesitation.

"It's too much. Lanros frowned. The current living force of the Secret Law Society is only more than a hundred people, and most of them are lone spellcasters who specialize in theory, this rare opportunity, there are so many people who are unwilling to participate, which makes Lan Luos, who is the supremacy of actual combat, deeply annoyed.

Lanloth's thoughts were clear to Verin early on, and when he saw that he was displeased, he immediately opened his mouth to comfort: "This is also a matter of no way, Quel'Salas's thousand-strong army has a large number of combatants and archaeologists, and most of them have participated in the crusade of the Cave of Time, and most of the people hired from Dalaran are craftsmen, and only the Secret Law Society has enough people who understand magic to stay in the bay." ”

"Where's the blue dragon?"

"With the exception of Teregosa, who received your message, the others have left with the crusading force. Verin sighed slowly, and there was a deep loneliness and loneliness in his expression, "Not even Seannegossa was left. ”

Thinking of the Blue Dragon Lady who had a relationship with her in the Secret Law Society Library at that time, Lan Luos raised his eyebrows and glanced at the elf with a mocking expression: "You shouldn't really get along with that blue dragon, right?"

"Is there a problem?" Verin smiled, obviously enjoying himself, "They all say that thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, how can this little tiger of mine be so well-behaved and obedient." ”

Lanlos looked at the self-satisfied elf with a flat expression, turned his head casually, looked at the sea, and whispered softly like an old man who has gone through ups and downs and vicissitudes: "How can there be any quiet years, but someone is carrying the weight for you." ”

As soon as the words of "......" came out, Verin stood on the spot like a petrified, almost died on the spot without taking a breath, and then turned around sharply and grabbed the collar of the culprit, "Young man, you have something to say." ”

The gray-haired elf's gaze slowly wandered downward, and he lied like a textbook: "No, you are too worried. ”

Because of the problem of fertility and longevity, the indifferent concept of chastity of the dragon clan has always been the focus of mortal ridicule. However, if this kind of ridicule was said by someone else, Verin wouldn't mind much, but it was Lanloth.

This reminded him that when he hooked up with that Blue Dragon Lady in the first place, it seemed that he had succeeded by disguising himself as Lan Luos......

"Oh, ah, is it? maybe?" Thinking of this, Verin suddenly withdrew the strength in his hand, and walked away with a look of embarrassment and shame.

How do you feel like who's poking me in the back?

Scratching his back inexplicably, Lanlos looked dazed.

——————————————

In the middle of the bay, the largest wooden house has been renovated and temporarily used as the administrative office of the water company. But as soon as he stepped through the door, Lanros sensed something was wrong.

Not only are the curtains decorated with silk curtains, but even the velvet carpet is laid underfoot, and when you step on it, you can hardly hear the slightest strange sound. The room is brightly lit, and the golden-red accents are distributed in all corners, reflecting a vague glow. The faint fragrance of incense spreads, making people unconsciously feel calm and relaxed, as if they have forgotten the dry and hot desert climate outside the house just now.

Such extravagant pleasure made Lanlos inexplicably feel that his heart was skipping half a beat.

"Ah, Lanloth, long time no see. In the center of the hall, Kael'thas was holding two glasses of reddish-purple wine in his hand, and when he saw Lanlos come in, he just gave him a brief hello and withdrew his attention, and politely handed one of the glasses to Gianna.

"Thanks, I don't drink. ”

When Lanloth followed Verin through the scorching sun, she wanted to find a place to rest, but here she met Kael'thas. During this time, she was obviously very uncomfortable, and when she saw the gray-haired elf walking in, she hurriedly threw a distressed look at him.

"Oh, His Royal Highness the Prince is really understanding, knowing that the outside of the lower shelf is about to dry out, he is so considerate, and he is really grateful. Understanding, Lanros put aside the inexplicable guilt, strode forward, and before Kael'thas could speak, he snatched the wine glass and drank it down.

"Ah, sure enough, it's a pleasure to drink cold wine in this weather. ”

Although his rare dedication was cut off, Kael'thas was not angry. After all, after so many years of friendship, he can be regarded as realizing the tip of the iceberg of this guy's brazenness. Apparently, he did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

But then again, with the charm of His Royal Highness the Prince, he hasn't taken down this lady for so long, and if he wants to make any progress with such a thing as Lanlos, he doesn't believe it.

"It seems that you are quite interested in the development of Shui Duoduo. ”

"I'm a rough person, and I can't put my mind at ease when it comes to money. Lan Luos was not polite, and sat down directly, "But Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are not fine, you really came here." ”

"Water Duoduo is a rare cooperation project with outside spellcasters in Quel'Salas over the years, and I must pay attention to it. The other party's words made the elf prince frown, but this guy said it so naturally, he could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and he didn't express his opinion on such vulgar words.

"Then you should follow the crusading force instead of wasting gold and time in such a hellish place. His eyes swept over the palatial decoration of the room again, and envy and jealousy made Lan Luos's tone faintly glow with a hint of yin and yang.

Glancing at Gianna, Kael'thas said duplicitously, "Aren't I waiting for you? ”

"Really?" Playing with the expensive crystal goblet in his hand, Lanlos's response was rather perfunctory, "Thank you very much, Your Highness." ”

What Kael'thas is thinking is well known to passers-by. In the past, Lanlos didn't mind making jokes about the fake prince, but because of what had happened that night, Lanlos felt like he was on pins and needles from the moment he first stepped into the room and saw the two of them.

As for Kael'thas, as he sipped the wine, his mind drifted farther and farther away.

It's really strange, wasn't Lady Gianna a little flustered and nervous when she first saw me? Why did Lan Los feel like she had found her heart as soon as she entered the door, and her whole body calmed down? Was it my delusion?

The hall suddenly fell silent, and an uncomfortable embarrassment gradually filled the air.
