When doing business and talking about cooperation, what we pay attention to is honesty. Lanros's attitude was highly recognized by Bilohua, and Bilohua, as the leader of Quel'Thalas, saw the current situation of Quel'Thalas more thoroughly than anyone else.

The Blue Dragon's plea for help came at an inopportune time, as the Orc War had taken a heavy toll on the Eastern Continent, and Quel'Salas had not been spared. The reconstruction of the invaded southern region has put too much pressure on Quel'Thalas's treasury.

What's even more uncomfortable is that the humans and dwarves who used to trade and cooperate with their own families are now also sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, plus the decision to withdraw from the alliance. Food, minerals, these relatively scarce resources of Quel'Salas are difficult to obtain from other countries, and can only be purchased from caravans or individuals at high prices.

The effects of the war were comprehensive, and Quel'Salas was equally immune.

If the blue dragon's request for help was placed before the war, Anastarian would definitely give it his full support, the High Elves are not stupid, they can see the crisis behind this. Simply put, once Nozdorm and Malygos were killed, and Deathwing returned, the green and red dragons alone would not be enough to resist the power of the Destroyer.

The battle in Grimbaatar shocked the entire continent, and the four guardian dragons worked together, but they failed to leave the guardian of the earth. Deathwing's prestige has become a haze over Azeroth.

For example, most of the people in Biluohua's position know that the orc war that swept the entire eastern continent was supported by Deathwing.

If two more dragon kings were to be lost now, the result would be beyond Azeroth's reach.

However, supporting the Blue Dragon to save the world sounds good, but there are many obstacles to do. There is no doubt that the Blue Dragon is not a kingdom institution in the traditional sense after all, and they can't get much compensation other than subsidizing some military expenses.

As for forming alliances, the value of the dragons' existence is to protect Azeroth, and it is a fool's dream to let them intervene in the battle between mortals. And if it really encounters a world-class threat, even if there is no alliance, the dragons will jump out. That's why Lanlos said that this benefit is nothing more than a blank slate, a blank check.

Anastarian's shirk is justified, the teacher is unknown, the people have just experienced the ordeal of blood and fire, and now they have to sacrifice their siblings in a foreign land for a blank piece of paper, even the day-chasing people can't bear the pressure of public opinion.

But now, things have taken a turn for the better.

Lanlos's plan is quite feasible, and it is a temptation for both the leadership of Quel'Salas and the people.

After listening to this guy's detailed strategic deployment, Bi Luohua was inevitably moved. Don't look at Quel'Thalas's withdrawal from the alliance so simply, to put it bluntly, he doesn't want to bear the cost of war wear and tear and the cost of sheltering orcs, and no one is too little for money.

The impact of withdrawing from the alliance was not all good, as both Lordaeron and Kurtilas suspended trade exports to Quel'Salas on the grounds that they were too busy to take care of themselves, and their financial expenses suddenly increased several times after the disaster without cheap food and minerals. Even the majority of the tax revenues such as the jewels and enchanted items that Quel'Salas exported to the outside world have been hit hard by the decision to withdraw from the Alliance.

If it is really possible to open up a way to make money without relying on humans, the Grand Magus will definitely raise his hands in favor.

However, Birohua is a smart person after all, and soon discovers the huge loophole in Lanloth's plan.

"It sounds good, but you say that you are a person who is not a person and does not contribute money, and you want to take sixty percent of the dry shares with an unsure idea, is it a little too greedy?"

"Haha. Lanlos laughed loudly, "As the saying goes, everything is hard at the beginning, and sometimes, an idea can change the whole world. ”

Bi Luohua didn't feel guilty at all, his fingers tapped on the table, and said meaningfully: "You told me everything, aren't you afraid that I will turn my face and deny it?"

"It's better not to make such jokes, adults. Lan Luos raised his eyes, with a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, "Since I dare to say that I will take sixty percent in front of everyone, I naturally have a reason." ”

Remembering that he was coming with the Blue Dragon, Bi Luohua asked tentatively, "Do you want to give two percent to the Blue Dragon?"

Since it is planned for Blue Dragon to build and maintain freight transmission, it is definitely necessary to give them a piece of the pie. After all, Blue Dragons are indifferent and unrestrained by nature, and it is impossible to keep them simply by paying salaries.

"Half right. ”

Bi Luohua was not surprised to guess this point, but he was a little puzzled by the 'half': "What about the other half?"

Lanloth slowly raised a finger.

"You mean halves?"

"I mean one percent. ”

“......”

——————————

Anastarian did not put himself in prison directly, but was placed under house arrest in a side hall, proving that he wanted to continue talking. Now that the showdown with Birohua has piqued his interest, Lanlos has naturally been released.

Walking on the long garden street at dusk, the red maple leaves and golden ginkgo biloba fell in the wind, falling to his instep in the delicate sunset. It's like stepping on a golden sea, and every step is splashed with shining ripples.

The dusk sunlight reflected in the sky over the city, and it was also inadvertently dyed with her splendor, not only did not have the desolation of the sunset of the western mountains, but revealed a kind of brilliance that could not be extricated.

Compared to this kind of gold brick and red tile, the elven mage in a tattered black robe was obviously a little out of place. Ignoring Queldore's whispers to himself, Lanlos finally arrived at his destination, the hotel.

Remembering how he had been tied here by Sylvanas a few weeks ago, and what had happened since then, the mage smiled and walked inside.

Sylvanas is a Ranger General and will not be based in Silvermoon City, and if she is not seen in such a big disturbance today, then she will probably have returned to Fengxing Village. But even so, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, no matter how this matter is discussed, the next thing he has to do is to directly teleport to Dalaran, and after explaining it clearly to Verin and the others, he will go south to Hidden Treasure Bay. After that, it can be said that it is resigned to fate.

Although there was little hope, he quietly revisited the old place with a glimmer of anticipation.

Unfortunately, the cold wind behind pushing open the door extinguished his unrealistic delusions. With a bitter smile, the elven mage didn't even bother to wash up, and lay directly on the cold bed, and the mental and physical exhaustion came over him, causing him to fall asleep quickly.

————————————

Knock, knock!

In a daze, a knock on the door disturbed Lanlos's dreams. Raising his drowsy brain to look out the window, the silence of the night made him stunned on the bed board for a long time.

"Lanloth, are you asleep?" a woman's voice came from outside the door. Ranros managed to get a good night's sleep but was interrupted, and he didn't have the heart to identify the owner of the voice.

Shaking his head, which weighed more than a thousand pounds, the mage walked to the door trembling step by step, and replied angrily: "I woke you up if you slept or not." ”

The door opened, and the first thing that caught my eye was a holy white robe, with golden lines forming a sketch of the Well of the Sun, and a faint halo could be seen circulating in it. With a little golden red hair tied at the back of her head, dignified and decent, the soft oblique bangs gently covered the corners of her forehead, constantly swaying under the plucking of the evening breeze, revealing a hint of charm.

As if frightened by Lanlos's wake-up anger, Liadelin pulled up her hair and quickly bowed down to apologize: "I'm sorry, I thought this happened, and you would go to bed very late." ”

"Are you saying I have no heart or lungs?" Lanlos raised an eyebrow, clearly angry.

The senior priest shook his head with a smile, and did not continue to pester with him: "I mean you are magnanimous, and I said that I will come to you later, can you let me in and sit down?"

Although 10,000 wanted to sleep back in the cage, the other party said so, and he couldn't pull down his face to really block people outside, so he could only reluctantly get out of the way: "It's too late, right?"

I'm embarrassed to say that if you hadn't put yourself under house arrest, the ghost would have come to you so late. Liadeline rolled her eyes, "If I hadn't been well-informed, I wouldn't have known you were released." ”

"Then you can't find me during the day tomorrow? Lanlos glanced out the silent window again, and couldn't help yawning, "You know what? ”

This sentence, combined with the deliberate sound of the door shutting hard, made Liadrin's heart tremble for no reason.

"It's a joke. Despite the deliberate restraint, the high-ranking priest's beautiful and smooth jade neck still flushed a faint pink, "You are the hero of Quel'Salas, and I am afraid that you will not be able to eat me?"

With a smile, Lanlos whispered as if talking to himself, "You're not afraid, but I'm afraid." ”

The two were not far away, and Liadeline naturally heard what he was saying, and immediately took a sip and hurriedly walked away from him a few steps.

After a while, Lan Luos's mood was also cloudy and clear, and he sat at the table with a big grin: "Say, what are you looking for me?"

"I remember that a unit of Light was formed on the human side?" Leadrin, quickly adjusting her mind and sitting across from him.

"Silver Hand of the Orcs, they have done a lot of work in the first battle. "There's nothing to hide, this paladin army led by Uther and Fao has long been famous, and they even helped Quel'Salas fight orcs in the past.

"I've heard that you and Aurelia participated in the founding ceremony of the Silver Hand. ”

"yes, in retrospect, it looks like it happened yesterday, it's impressive. "I don't know if Lanlos is talking about the founding ceremony or Aurelia.

"Is that how the Light blessed you?" Leadrin's clenched pink fist pressed against her chest, looking a little nervous.

Lanlos didn't answer, and pondered to himself. He still remembers the dilemma he encountered when he was handsome on the day the Silver Hand was formed. In the face of the fervent faith and noble spirit of Fao and the paladins, the Kwure hidden in Adruin's body resonated uncontrollably.

In those days, although he was a high elf, his prestige in the Silver Hand was even faintly comparable to that of several first-generation paladins. After all, the power of Naru's Holy Light possesses a purity and intensity far beyond that of mortals. I just don't know if they still remember themselves after all this time.

The way Lanlos reminisced about the past, and in Liadlin's eyes, he seemed to hesitate and resist: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious how people like you would come up with the idea of believing in the Light?"

People like me?

The mage rolled his eyes, and was already gradually immune to the lady's 'knife mouth': "I just got distracted, I'd love to share my experience with you, but ......"

The just right pause reminded Liadlin of this guy's unsightly reputation, she gritted her teeth, and said as if she had made up her mind: "Don't worry, in return, as long as it is within my tolerance, I will do my best to satisfy you." ”

"......" Lan Luos's forehead bulged a few green tendons, and it was not easy to suppress the grievances in his heart, "Ahem, you misunderstood, I am a good person...... Never mind. ”

Abandoning the pale excuse that he didn't even believe in, Lanlos pulled out Edruin and put it on the table. The fingertips slowly swiped along the golden lines on the sword's body, and the dazzling streamers suddenly converged in the hole-like cavity above the gauntlet.

Buzz——!

Warm light emanated from Adruin, dispelling the darkness and coldness of the room in an instant. Although she had heard of the deeds of this elf harnessing the Holy Light for a long time, she was still deeply shocked to witness this scene with her own eyes.

But what happened next really made her stunned and frightened.

Lanloth's fingers suddenly swiped back in the opposite direction, and the warm holy light suddenly froze, and under Liadrin's incredulous gaze, a purple-black color that grew thicker and thicker engulfed the holy sword and light in the blink of an eye.
