After Sharlayan and Sylvanas performed a hilarious stomping dance, there were no unexpected incidents at the ball, and the curtain finally ended smoothly.

The third stage is the highlight of this celebration.

Kael'thas, who had changed into a solemn dress, came to the stage again, and first announced a customary benefit when the new king ascended the throne.

Amnesty to the world.

Of course, this is the word provided by the barrage from another world. Quel'Thalas' official word is New King Enshi, but the meaning is the same.

Except for those who committed capital crimes such as treason and collaborating with the enemy, all prisoners in prison will be released by grace.

But releasing them doesn't mean they can fly away immediately.

This grace is more akin to the parole mentioned by the barrage.

The official law enforcement department of Quel'Thalas will still monitor the daily activities of these released prisoners for a certain period of time, and will not withdraw the monitoring personnel until it is determined that they will no longer pose a threat to society, allowing them to truly return to freedom.

This benefit was one of the wills that Dath'Remar personally left when he passed the throne to the second Sun King before his death.

The living conditions in Quel'Thalas are very good. Unless you are the ultimate slacker who is too lazy to do any work, you won't starve to death if you do odd jobs intermittently.

Therefore, there are not many criminals in Quel'Thalas who take risks for their lives, but more of them are happy criminals who take the initiative to die under the boredom.

None of the prisoners released by the amnesty this time was a vicious person, and the social background of Quel'Thalas was also difficult to raise that kind of weirdo.

After the customary grace, Kael'thas announced the second benefit.

promotion.

To be precise, it should be Fujue.

The troll wars took place 3,000 years ago and are passed down to this day. Most of the nobles who were knighted at that time have passed away, and the titles are relegated to their descendants.

Still take Villes, whom Sharlayan is familiar with, as an example. It was his father Basque who was knighted for his meritorious service in the Troll War, and he was awarded the title of Earl.

This kind of non-hereditary title will be automatically downgraded to the next generation, and when it is in the hands of Welles, there will only be viscounts.

In order to commend the meritorious nobles for their contributions in the defense of Quel'Thalas and the subsequent clean-up of traitors, Anasteria deliberately left their rewards to Kael'thas to announce.

Welles regained the title of earl that his father had obtained when he was there. If he can continue to make contributions in the future, there may be hope that the title will be fixed as hereditary.

As for the Marquis and Duke above?

Welles didn't dare to think too much.

Since the end of the Founding War, no one has received hereditary titles of Marquis and Duke.

However, seeing the trend of Sarlayan's promotion, Welles thought that his nephew might still have a chance to break this record.

For the four nobles who could not be promoted, Kael'thas granted them a part of the precious property collected by the royal family.

The value is not important, what is important is the origin of these properties, which was personally awarded by the king, which to a certain extent shows Kael'thas's gentle attitude.

Calpurnia and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they all knew that this might not be the final decision of Kael'thas, and there might still be variables, so they couldn't let it go.

The nobles and the four great nobles were all rewarded, only those old nobles who had led the internal rebellion stood awkwardly at the scene, and they got nothing.

While it's a matter of course, there are some unwitting fools who take it to heart, as you can tell by the undisguised ugliness on their faces.

'Stupid, stupid. '

In recent years, Darkan Drahir, the chairman of the Silvermoon Council, has kept a low profile and has not had any in-depth contact with any old aristocratic envoys, making it clear that he wants to draw a line with these fools who do not know themselves.

The old king was willing to let them go because of their ancestors' contribution to Quel'Thalas.

But favors will be used up, but there is no more.

The young and vigorous Kael'thas is not as nostalgic as his father, so let's not talk about these traitors without further punishment, reward? Go to sleep, dreams have everything.

People with a keen sense of politics have noticed the clues through Kael'thas' attitude, and made up their minds to draw a line with the group of gangsters who remain stubborn after being purged as soon as possible.

After the end of grace, promotion, and rewards, the enthronement ceremony finally came to a successful conclusion.

The signal released by Kael'thas in this celebration banquet has aroused the attention of high-level officials in various countries.

The first is that Kael'thas publicly announced that Quel'Thalas will be more open and inclusive than before, and will no longer impose restrictions on trade and diplomatic activities of any "friendly" country.

Prior to this, the embassy district of Silvermoon City only had embassies of allied countries such as Kul Tiras, Suramar, Draenei, Kaolin Tauren, and Kalimdor Tauren. Requests from other countries to send ambassadors have never been accepted. Can get Anasterian's consent.

With the release of restrictions after Kael'thas ascended the throne, Quel'Thalas lifted the policy of closing the country in a substantial sense, and was completely open to the outside world for the first time since the founding of the country.

Kael'thas' resolution has been approved by the Silvermoon Council, but there are also many officials and nobles in the country who oppose it.

They believed that Kael'thas' reckless decision violated the precepts of the ancestors, and publicly stated that the country should be closed again.

Those who support openness sprayed back mercilessly, thinking that this is one moment and another is another moment.

In the early years, the country was locked away from the outside world, mainly to concentrate on dealing with the forest trolls who have always been eyeing Quel'Thalas.

Now that the Amani clan has been completely kicked out of Eversong Forest, forest trolls are no longer a major problem that threatens the survival of Quel'Thalas, so naturally they should no longer cling to the strategy set by their ancestors, and should learn to Keep up with the times.

Domestic quarrels did not go beyond the expectations of reformers such as Kael'thas and Sharlayan.

In the next few months, Kael'thas will focus most of his energy on tidying up his house affairs.

If you want to expand abroad, you must first twist the opinions of the majority of people in the country into one rope, so as to avoid backyard fires when you are busy with external affairs.

After the celebration ended, Sharlayan did not leave Silvermoon City immediately.

When Kael'thas summoned him privately, he told Kael'thas all the news entrusted to him by Fandral Staghelmet and the four nobles.

"Is there a big gathering of elves..."

Recently, he has been busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and today he has worked hard to preside over the whole day's celebration. Kael'thas is already very tired.

As the new king who intends to strengthen Quel'Thalas, the busyness after ascension to the throne is something he has long expected.

Staghelmet briefly mentioned this matter to Kael'thas, Elisande, Justina and Taleville at the previous banquet.

But after all, the banquet was not the right time to talk about such a big event. Kaelthas deliberately kept the deer helmet, Elisande and others, and agreed to discuss it in detail at tomorrow's court meeting.

Before that, Kael'thas planned to ask Sharlayan for details, and he believed that he could get some useful information from Sharlayan.

Sarlayan did not disappoint Kael'thas, he explained to Kael'thas the content organized by the barrage in a simple way.

"Republic?"

Kael'thas stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Although this system is not suitable for Quel'Thalas, there are some things we can learn from."

Sarlayan nodded: "So far, the appointment and dismissal of members of the Silvermoon Council has been decided through discussions between the king and members of the council, which lacks transparency and system for lower-level officials who wish to enter politics."

"Perhaps, we can make some reforms to the Silver Moon Council and change the election model of members~lightnovelpub.net~ and try to select high-end talents through layer upon layer of popular election."

"Um…"

Kael'thas pondered for a while: "I will find time to discuss with the councilors later. I don't know if I can get the consent of the majority of councilors. After all, this is to touch the nobles' cake."

Nobles have better educational resources, and the chances of producing talents will naturally be much higher than that of commoners.

Sharlayan also thought of this point. In order to break the status quo of power being monopolized by nobles, Quel'Thalas' overly Buddhist education system must also be reformed.

However, this is a difficult task that needs to be carried out for a long time. Sharlayan intends to propose it to Kael'thas when the time is right in the future.

"As for the second question..."

Kael'thas's eyes became firmer: "I have made up my mind, as long as the four nobles don't repeat the mistakes of the past, I can forgive them for their previous arrogance to the father, which is also the meaning of the father himself. .”

"I hope they can cherish this rare grace. If they commit another crime in the future... I will never be merciful again."
