Silvermoon City, the large meeting room on the lower floor of the Tower of Sunfury, the annual summary meeting is underway.

"The financial situation in the past year has come out. The overall tax revenue of Yongge Forest is the same as last year, and the tax revenue of Yinyue Forest has risen sharply. Among them, Windrunner Village and Farstrider Fortress have increased by 67% and 100% respectively from last year. Thirteenth. Among them, the increase in taxes on drinks and enchanted items sold out dominates, and overall the kingdom’s taxation status is very good.” A member of the Parliament looked at the parchment in his hand and reported to the king sitting on the main seat.

"What about demographic changes?"

Another congressman stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the domestic population flow is more frequent this year than in previous years. The main reason is that the compatriots of Silvermoon City chose to move out. The reason is that the mage lords of Farstrider Fortress recruited a large number of low-level rangers and wizards. Many compatriots who had no hope of being promoted in Silvermoon City chose to accept his employment, which greatly eased the population pressure in Silvermoon City. In addition, he also recruited some craftsmen and technicians, but we are not sure where to go."

Anasteria continued to ask: "Has the population not increased?"

"According to the report, a large number of purple-skinned compatriots claiming to be Syndra entered the territory of Windrunner Village and Farstrider Fortress in the first two months. They claimed to have accepted the recruitment of Lord Aristophanes and crossed the ocean. Come and hope to join Quel'Thalas."

"He has already submitted an application report before this, and I have seen the compatriots of Erre'Thalas. Is there anything else to report?"

The congressmen looked at each other and shook their heads. Anasteria started to summarize: "According to your report, we can learn that not only Silvermoon City, but the entire middle and lower-level mages and rangers of Quel'Thalas At the same time, many high-quality rare materials appeared on the market, which promoted the circulation of wealth. This is a good thing for the development of the kingdom. Next, our policy will continue to lean towards the border, especially the Silver Moon Forest At the same time, we must make good use of the external commercial port developed by Windrunner."

After setting the tone for the next work and passing the resolution, as usual, Anasteria invited the parliamentary mages present to attend the annual royal dinner.

"Belovar, you are here, what do you think?" Anasteria asked the grand magister in a daze with a plate.

"Your Majesty," Belovar bowed slightly, then took a sip of the wine in the glass, "Nothing, just thinking about an arcane problem."

Anasteria nodded meaningfully, and then said: "I thought you would oppose my final resolution!"

"You laughed, Your Majesty. As you said, the circulation of this wealth is conducive to the development of the kingdom, and although the port has weakened the importance of Taquilin, it has also opened up new sources of financial resources for us, focusing on investment and utilization. It is what it should be."

The king said nothing, patted the great arcanist on the shoulder, and then turned to entertain the other elves.

Belovar narrowed his eyes and squeezed the glass in his hand.

At night, Daywalker was located in the manor outside Silvermoon City, and the Great Arcanist was sitting around with a few members.

"Your Excellency, the Great Arcanist, we must restrict the trade in Windrunner Village!" Senator Fenrir anxiously asked Belovar, who was sitting at the top.

"Why, are the residents of Silvermoon City not buying your wine or your alchemy goods can't be sold on the human side?" Belovar asked blankly.

Fenrir blushed, and he defended: "This is your lord, the main buyers of our wine are those low-level rangers and low-level mages who buy drunk all the year round. Since his recruitment notice was posted a few months ago, we The sales of beverages have plummeted. In addition, we usually arrange caravans to enter the human world through Taquilin to enter the human world for trading. But since the port of Fengxing Village was built, the caravan’s business has become more and more difficult to do, and it has begun to take charge. Resigned to me and chose to join the sea shipping at the port!"

"Do you have no ships? I remember the king gave us a share of ships. You have a lot of ships in Yangfan Harbor!" Belovar said.

At this time, another congressman replied: "Your Excellency, it's not as you understand it. We tried sea trade in the past two years. However, due to the lack of charts, the major families suffered heavy losses and this work had to be stopped."

"Huge loss? How terrible was it?"

At this time everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak.

Belovar was a little impatient: "You can't tell me? I'm here to solve your problems tonight, not watching you perform pantomimes!"

"Uh, it's actually not that big. The ship of Amber Light's house suffered a sea storm after leaving Quel'Thalas. The ship was severely damaged and came back dingy. And at that time, the sea trade was not as huge as it is now. Profit, our caravan's income is much higher than that of the Windrunner and Farstrider Fortress families, and the tax ratio is also small, so just" Fenrir said hesitantly.

Bellowal continued: "Then you see Windrunner earns such a good income this year, are you jealous?"

Looking at the members who were no more than the Magister in front of them, Belovar was silent for a while, and then he asked the elves in front of him: "So you mean that the council will put pressure on the king to revoke the trading permit of Fengxing Village? But what excuses? Their taxes are there, and I am afraid it is difficult for us to change the king's mind."

Several elves looked at each other, their faces were joyful, and Fenrir took a step forward: "Revocation does not have to be undone. Our plan is to hope that the king understands that the establishment of Quel'Thalas is based on our family of wizards, not Windrunner is a military aristocracy dominated by rangers. The existence of the Windrunner Village port greatly enhances the economic independence of the military aristocrats headed by Windrunner, which is not conducive to the stability of the kingdom, so the council can take over this commercial port This not only ensures the operation of the port, but also maintains the tradition of Quel'Thalas."

"What if Windrunner, or the Farstrider Fortress, disagrees?" Belovar asked lightly.

"We invite their actual division, Aristophane Windrunner and Ranger General Li Leisa Windrunner, to come to Silvermoon City to discuss. When they leave the station, we send our people to take over the port, even if they disagree, Faced with the pressure of the Parliament, I must admit that the management of the port has changed!" The member of the Amber Light family said his idea.

"Then what if the king disagrees? Or do they resist?"

"The king will agree," Fenrir said confidently. "After all, Silvermoon City and Sunwell are both managed by our family of wizards, unless the king wants to make these places out of control, and the meaning of His Majesty Anasteria's last words is not all that he wants us to Intervene in the operation of that port? As for resistance, under the brilliance of the Sunwell, what storm can a mere 200-300-year-old mage cause!"

Seeing that they had made a plan in one word, Bellowal sighed as he thought he had figured out Anastria's mind.

"Well, you can submit your report during the reconsideration tomorrow morning. I won't be involved." Belovar finished speaking before they could respond, summoning a blue portal and walked in.

"Fenrir, can our plan work? How do I feel that Your Excellency the Great Arcanist is not very satisfied with our plan." A member of the Diet asked worriedly.

"Relax, dear Kells, we have made such a plan. We have taken into account the king's reaction and their reaction. We cannot fail. We can definitely win the port. Think about it, once the port belongs to us , How many Phoenix gold coins will be in our bag!" Fenrir Daywalker picked up the glass and said, "As for the Great Arcanist, Your Excellency Belovar has always been like this, as long as we hand in the materials and gold coins he needs on time. , Does not affect his analysis of the Sunwell, whatever we do! And the plan we made this time also weakened the power of His Majesty the King, maybe the Great Arcanist and us can take advantage of the situation to get more Sunwells from the King Magic share!"

"You're really amazing~lightnovelpub.net~Fenrir," another member of the Congress duly flattered, "I think once your Excellency Belovar retires, you will definitely be the chairperson."

"Hahaha, for your good words, Sylvette. Okay, my compatriots, let us celebrate this victory in advance with our wine glasses!" After Fenrir finished speaking, he clinked with the councillors present.

"Cheers!" Then they drank all the wine in the glass, and Fenrir clapped his hands. Several graceful, beautiful faces, female elves in light veils walked in.

"This is our carefully selected maid, and hope to give you a satisfying night!" Fenrir said, "You must accompany you adults!"

Before he could finish his words, the congressmen put their arms around the maids who were close to them, and some anxiously hugged the two at once. With the sound of sweet laughter, they left the hall one after another and walked into the dormitory that was already prepared. .

When the last congressman left, Fenrir sat in the hall alone, the flames of the arcane lantern swaying in the wind, and his chin was supported with both hands. The previously smiling face was hidden in the shadows.

"I will avenge you, Elton," Fenrir said softly, "in the name of the Daywalker family."
