Volume 3 Kuroshio 33 The Accumulated Grievances
-Muller:......
-It's been a busy few days, I've been locked up in this kind of place and I have to go to the reception of guests every day...... Gee.
-Muller:......
-I guess I'm going to get out soon.
-Muller:......
- Yes, I thought the battle was over, but it turned out to be endless. Isn't this the appearance of orcs in the north again.
-Ethan:......
- What's so lucky about this, as long as there is a war, someone will suffer, and it is basically the common people who suffer. This kind of schadenfreude is not good.
-Gatsby:......
- Now we don't have a war, but don't you feel shameless when you laugh at others?
-Gatsby:......
-Sure enough, it is a person with a dark heart, and the starting point for measuring everything is dark. You're not a good person, so you think that anyone's purpose is not serious. I'd love to see if your brain structure is different from ours.
-Gatsby:......
- I don't bother to argue with you, Gatsby, shut up.
-Muller:......
- Yes, the Stormgardians have extended a hand of friendship to the king, and they want to form an alliance with us.
-Muller:......
- Military alliances.
-Muller:......
- Strengthen trade in peacetime and help each other in wartime.
-Willie:......
-Benefit...... Of course.
- It's just that this benefit doesn't do us any good.
-Willie:......
- The money for the construction of Stormwind they are not ready to ask for, as a gift from the Alliance.
-Muller:......
-How? Meddlesome?
-Muller:......
-Belch...... You...... How is this a good thing?
-Willie:......
- But this money buys the future fortunes of the Stormwind Kingdom. There's no deal you've ever earned, this money...... There is no benefit.
-Willie:......
- This money is the money to rebuild Stormwind, no problem.
-Willie:......
- How do I know how to spend it, and I'm not the chief accountant.
-Willie:......
- Used to pay salaries...... Ha, yours is there. The money has already been spent, how? Didn't pay you?
-Willie:......
- I've asked this twice before, didn't it mean that it was normal?
-Willie:......
- Why were you locked up? Didn't you fight? Drinking hurts people.
-Willie:......
- Who did you ask for money from and end up being sent in?
-Willie:......
- Van Cleef? You went with Van Cleef to ask for money? Are you crazy?
-Willie:......
- Is he not your head? Total head? How dare you ask him for money directly?
-Willie:......
- How can he be in arrears of your salaries?
-Willie:......
-What do you mean? I don't understand, what does it mean to owe half of the year before last?
-Willie:......
- Give half of last year's? Or will it only be given this year? What about the year before last?
-Willie:......
- The money of the year before was given only last year? Didn't finish it?
-Willie:......
- What about this year?
-Willie:......
-Belch...... No, I heard that this money was calculated in advance, and it should have been prepared for you a long time ago.
-Gatsby:......
- you! You, the Storm Kingdom is not as corrupt as you say, there must be a misunderstanding here.
-Stephen:......
- Is there any benefit in squeezing you? It is impossible for the new king to do such a stupid thing when he has just ascended the throne! And Varian isn't that kind of idiot either.
-You will be able to secure the throne only if you are stable.
-Stephen:......
- It doesn't matter what it is, it's just a raccoon dog.
-Stephen:......
-Spit! Hum...... I don't care about you.
- Willy, you say, what's going on.
-Willie:......
- The funds for the rebuilding of Stormwind were not enough at the time, and I admit that Lordaeron agreed to lend us money for the rebuilding work, and Stormgard gave a portion of it, as I know. And when I was talking to Lordaeron about borrowing at that time, I also knew the person in charge of Lordaeron's side.
- For the payment of the works of the workers, I gave it to the king at that time...... And...... Belch...... As I said, he ordered to strictly manage the funds in this at that time, and I was worried that something would go wrong, and I asked twice, and you mentioned this situation......
- I'm still a little ......
-Willie:......
-I'm really not in charge of accounts, maybe there's something I don't know. However, I believe that your problems will be properly resolved, and King Varian will be a good king.
- But it's not necessarily a good thing that you're making too much trouble.
-Willie:......
- You can understand you, after all, the workers can't pay in vain, it's understandable in the mood, but it's better not to have conflicts, just ask for the money out, conflicts...... Belch...... What if it's not controlled or someone is taking advantage of it...... The money is even more unavailable.
-Willie:......
- It really can't be counted like this, and if anyone dares to touch this money...... That's not as simple as cutting off your head. But what I'm going to tell you is asking for a salary...... It's better not to be impulsive or not to be impulsive.
-Willie:......
-Difficult when the palms are down, and even more difficult when the palms are up. I understand the workers, I know it's not easy.
-Muller:......
- Bloodshed is the most unwise.
-Gatsby:......
- You shut up, yin-yang people. Do you rush to the front in times of conflict?
-Willie:......
- This thing...... When my friends come to see me again, I will ask you for you, but I advise you to refrain from saying a thousand things.
-The king is not as bad as you say, there must be something in this, but I am sure the king will not do it.
-Stephen:......
-The king wants a long period of peace, and the more secure you live, the more stable his kingdom will be. It must not have been at the behest of the king, I can assure you.
-Stephen:......
- Isn't this a fart? It is impossible for the nobles to have banquets every day, how can there be so many banquets to hold, and it is impossible for anyone to have the courage to directly deduct the expenses from the project money, they don't have the courage.
-Muller:......
- Impossible, even if there is someone in charge of the arrangement...... They don't dare to embezzle the money!
-Willie:......
-Stephen:......
-Hum...... This needs to be investigated.
-Muller:......
- I don't know about this, when will the tax be raised?
-Willie:......
- Don't talk nonsense, Willy, this is a sentence.
-Willie:......
- The king increased his taxes? No...... I haven't heard that it is the nobles everywhere who raise taxes privately!
-Willie:......
- Is there anything else about Van Cleef?
-Willie:......
- I don't believe it, Willy, how could that man named Van Cleef have the money to pay so many people's wages.
-Willie:......
- Find someone to borrow money...... Ha, that can't be that much money, I know that there are a lot of Masonry Brotherhoods, and rebuilding Stormwind is not a job that a few thousand people can do.
-Willie:......
- Are you saying that he also took out loans from some nobles? How did you know that?
-Willie:......
- You all know...... Ha, this kind of thing is not credible, the loan is just for your salary, and you still go to trouble him? I really should lock you up and sober up.
- So he's not a bad guy either......
-Stephen:......
- If you open your mouth to speak again, I will definitely break your front teeth. I've been in contact with him and I don't think he's that kind of person.
-Willie:......
-I know what you want, but I ask you to believe in the king.
-Willie:......
- I'm not talking to him.
-Willie:......
- The two of us have only dealt with each other, but we don't know each other very well. I didn't expect anything like this to happen.
-Willie:......
-Well? …… No...... 30,000? I heard about 30,000 people.
-Willie:......
-What did you say!
-Willie:......
- 50,000 ...... You're talking nonsense. How could there be so many people in a post-war country! I didn't see that many laborers when the orcs first invaded, you say 50,000 people...... Or labor...... Ha, didn't you gather all the men from all over the country? I don't believe that.
-Muller:......
- During the king's flight to the north...... In fact, the local nobles seem to be doing well?
-Muller:......
- Are you saying that the western region is being developed quite well? I really don't know.
-Muller:......
- What about the southern forests? Sunny woodland.
-Muller:......
- Shouldn't it, I know that place, isn't it suddenly gloomy? How could there be many people living in that place?
-Muller:......
-I see, the change in the forest has prevented the orcs from looting much after that, which is a blessing in disguise...... Hah, that's fine.
-I thought the orcs would be completely wiped out after the capture of Stormwind......
-Muller:......
- Is it true that the destruction on the side of the Red Ridge Mountain is terrible?
-Muller:......
- Caught building a castle...... Well...... I know the orcs have built some facilities over there.
-It is estimated that the orcs are not paid, so if you don't kill them all......
-Muller:......
- I don't know this death data very well...... Alas......
-Stephen:......
- Shut up, Stephen.
-Gatsby:......
- Can the king's whining make you live a long life?
-Gatsby:......
- Ha, happy...... I don't see how happy you are.
- Dude, Willy...... The Masonry Brotherhood didn't offend anyone.
-Willie:......
- You can't say that, how can you hold back and think about how to oppress your own people.
-Stephen:......
-The king is young, but not as bad as you say.
-Muller:......
- Every king will have courtiers around him, and even the greatest king will have villains around him.
-Muller:......
- How good is the king?
-Gatsby:......
- Look at what you said, do you think that being a king is to hang out with tea every day?
-Gatsby:......
- If the king is as you say, then the country is not far from its end.
- Don't be indignant and hypocritical, just complain, you really think you have what it takes to rule the whole country.
-Gatsby:......
-Muller:......
-Hum......
-Muller...... Where did you hear about this?
-Muller:......
- Isn't the Watchtower already built?
-Muller:......
-Willie:......
- The Masonry Brotherhood was also involved in the construction of the Watch Fort? That's a lot of money owed to them.
-Willie:......
- Impossible, how could the king make this labor obligatory.
-Willie:......
-Yes?
-Muller:......
- I will tell you nonsense, but I warn you that no one can afford to be held accountable for such a thing. If you want to sacrifice your life because of some misunderstanding and mistake, I have no objection, but if you become an enemy of the country because of this...... I wouldn't approve of that.
-Willie:......
- There is always a way to solve problems, but violence can never come first in the first place.
