Remember [New] in a second! The three of Sarlayan did have plans for Vereesa, but this time they didn't want her to work hard and continue to be a tool, but to let Vereesa...or the Windrunner family become a weather vane.

For those nobles who have been rooted in the southern forest for many years, it remains to be seen whether the newcomer Earl Deep Shadow is worth befriending.

Although Sharlayan's reputation in Quel'Thalas was already very famous, the aristocratic circle of Silvermoon City also treated him with contempt.

Can a half-elf be a noble?

This obviously contemptuous "question" is very popular among the noble circles of Silvermoon City.

Due to Anasteria's protection of Sarlayan, the nobles did not dare to blatantly question it, but secretly mocked Sarlayan in their own small circle.

Sharlayan's bad reputation naturally also affected the views of the nobles in the southern part of the forest.

However, they did not arbitrarily believe the slanderous words of the nobles of Silvermoon City, but planned to witness the development of the Earl of Deep Shadow with their own eyes, and confirm whether Sharlayan was really not worth associating with as the nobles of Silvermoon City said.

Sarlayan has always had a donkey temper of being dragged and regressed since he was a child.

underestimate me? OK, don't regret it later.

Even if geographical factors were aside, Sharlayan didn't have a good impression of those old nobles whose territories were close to Silvermoon City and who only knew to lie on the credit book and domineering all day long.

In the early days of the establishment of Quel'Thalas, the barrier of Bandinoril had not yet been established, and the actual control area of ​​the high elves had been compressed in the northern part of the forest by the angry Amani trolls.

Including the four great nobles, the early noble fiefdoms were all around Silvermoon City, and the southern forest was gradually opened up with the efforts of the rangers headed by Taranas Windrunner.

In other words, the nobles around Silvermoon City are all old nobles who were enfeoffed during the founding of the country, and they have long been useless after thousands of years of intoxicating pleasure.

There is a saying in another world that one cannot be rich for three generations.

Quel'Thalas has a history of more than 7,000 years since its founding, but due to the long lifespan of the high elves, it has actually only gone through 3-4 generations.

Long before the start of the Second Orc War, the old aristocrats who could not cultivate talents began to show signs of decline, but they did not completely decline.

During the defense of Quel'Thalas, the four nobles who had surrendered secretly gave him a heavy blow.

As the surrender faction among the four great nobles was secretly executed within the family, the old nobles finally showed their decline.

In contrast, the meritorious nobles who rose during the troll war gradually gained a firm foothold in the upper classes of Quel'Thalas, typical examples being the Sangunar family and the Deep Shadow family.

Most of the feudal lands of these meritorious nobles are near the southern part of the forest. They are very disgusted with those old nobles who occupy the best part of Yongsong Forest but only know about vegetarian meals, and they have long thought of replacing them.

The "mud-legged" nobles around the Earl of Deep Shadow happen to be meritorious nobles, and they are relatively close to the Deep Shadow and Sangunar families, so they will not completely believe the racially discriminatory sour remarks of the old nobles.

Strictly speaking, the Windrunner family can also be classified as an old noble if calculated according to the time of ennobling.

However, Taranas did not hesitate to choose the southern forest, which was still a war zone at that time, to express his firm determination to repel the trolls and open up the territory.

Generations of Windrunners have expanded the scope of their domain with their own efforts, and they have guarded the frontiers of Quel'Thalas for more than 6,000 years.

The meritorious nobles never classified the Windrunner family as the old nobles, and the nobles of Silvermoon City with eyes in the sky never regarded the mud-legged Windrunner as one of their own.

Even if Li Reza entered the central government and became a high-ranking member of the Silver Moon Councilor, their contemptuous attitude has never changed.

Sharlayan has a deep personal relationship with Kael'thas, and he has long known that Kael'thas intends to reform the existing structure of Quel'Thalas.

And these old aristocrats who only know how to lie down and enjoy without paying anything, are undoubtedly the thorn in Kael'thas's side and thorn in his flesh.

When the Anasterians got old, they missed their old feelings, and they saved enough face when they attacked the old nobles, and they didn't kill them all with one shot.

But these nobles thought that the royal family was afraid of their influence, and after the calm, they continued to play music and dance.

The accumulation of more than 7,000 years is certainly one of the important factors for the reason why the four great nobles have been strong for so many years, but this is not all of them.

There have always been two major factions within the four great nobles. One faction advocates further eroding the royal power to strengthen itself, and the other advocates cooperating with the royal family to strengthen Quel'Thalas.

In layman's terms, one wants to cut more shares for himself from a cake of a given scale, while the other wants to make the cake bigger and bigger, and the share will naturally increase.

Before the Battle of Quel'Thalas, the faction that advocated confrontation with the royal family had the absolute upper hand, and the other faction could only temporarily go dormant.

After the Dongchuang incident, the two factions changed positions offensively and defensively.

Now the four nobles who have changed the king's banner at the top of the city have reached a cooperation with the royal family without hesitation.

Those medium-sized nobles who once attached themselves to the four great nobles, but later established themselves under the instigation of Darkan, are still unrepentant.

They are still holding on to the past and trying to go all the way to the dark, but they don't know that there is no bright dead end ahead.

Then it was no surprise that he was sanctioned by the old king, leaving only a few remnants of power to barely survive.

Antonidas did not have the drive and courage of his youth when he was old, but his reign of more than 3,000 years also allowed him to gain sufficient ruling experience.

Barrage commented on the old king as a "master of balance".

When the four nobles were powerful, Anasteria secretly wooed the middle-sized nobles and the meritorious nobles who had always been loyal to the royal family, and asked them to work together to check and balance the four nobles.

After the four nobles lost their power, he decisively took action to win over the four nobles whose power had shrunk, and turned his head to check and balance the old nobles whose ambitions were expanding.

In the way of balance, Anasteria can be said to be a master at playing, even in the most difficult period, it can firmly hold the inherent rights of the royal family.

An orc invasion completely reshuffled the aristocratic forces in Quel'Thalas, and Anasteria seemed to have died down, and no further investigations were made.

However, he did not forget the arrogance and domineeringness of the old aristocrats in the past, and even now, he only left the credit for cleaning up the remaining moths to the new king Kael'thas.

Valeera's explanation made Vereesa dizzy, and she suspected that her experience in managing the territory over the past few years was all fake.

"Why do you know so much about political struggle? Why didn't I see so many undercurrents?"

Stellagosa shook her head amusedly: "The Windrunner family has always been a militant faction. They never choose sides. They are only loyal to the country and the royal family. Political struggles are not your strong point."

"call…"

Vereesa smiled bitterly and patted her forehead: "Forget it, I don't bother to think about it so much, I believe you will not harm me."

"In short, I will give you the 100 catties. I hope that the Windrunner family can benefit from it with you, so that I can improve the quality of life of the citizens."

'100 catties...'

Salayan's eyes subconsciously glanced at the thickest part of Vereesa's body, and it was no surprise that Valeera's sharp eyes gave her a warning.

The three Windrunner sisters have been exercising all year round, and their bodies are very well-proportioned.

But the muscles hanging on the body will not lie, they just look thin, the muscle density is much greater than fat, and it is normal to weigh more than 100 catties.

Facing Valeera's eyes, Sharlayan innocently shrugged.

"It's just a conditioned reflex to hear about the weight problem. Why are you so excited?"

"snort!"

Valeera snorted lightly, but did not pursue further.

"In short, the Windrunner family can serve as an example, a weather vane."

Valeera said without haste according to the plan she made according to her sight: "Although the territory of the Windrunner family is far from the Central Avenue, you also have unique advantages."

"By the sea."

"ocean?"

Vereesa asked puzzledly: "What's so special about being near the sea? Except for some small undeveloped deserted islands~lightnovelpub.net~ There is nothing in the offshore area."

"Of course there is."

Valeera reminded with a smile: "Those deserted islands are your wealth."

"If these islands are developed into tourist resorts, the income of the Windrunner's territory can be greatly increased just by receiving the guests who come to travel and spend every year."

Sharlayan also smiled and interjected: "Facing the sea, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming."

"Quel'Thalas has a suitable climate and the four seasons are like spring. It already has good potential for tourism development. All we need to do is to take advantage of the reform wind of opening up to the outside world to take advantage of the momentum."

Vereesa nodded half-understood: "I listen to you, what to do, you can give me the guidance, and I will follow it directly."

Valeera rolled her eyes helplessly.

‘This silly girl, it’s no wonder she was used as a tool by Salayan many times. '

'If one day she is tricked into selling her, she might still be counting the money for others. '
