Chapter 181 The hard-working Darkan
The Arkandor that had just been planted could not see anything special, and Darkan, who had not been informed of the details, was a little puzzled by the Sun King's laborious move.
‘Is this seed really that important? Addiction? As long as there is an eternal sunwell, that little side effect doesn't matter at all. '
Although he scoffed at Sun King's actions in his heart, he still maintained that public expression on the surface.
In the past five years, Darkan’s life has not been good at all. The two allies of the radical faction have become more and more alienated from him under the wooing of Osis.
Thinking of this, Darcan glared at Charlemagne with hatred. Magic wine, a drink that has both the taste of wine and the function of replenishing magic power, became popular in Quel'Thalas as soon as it was released.
Under Charlemagne's various bad ideas before his departure, Seth, Lisson and the others deliberately divided the magic wine into several grades according to the rigor and purity of the process.
The regular edition, hardcover edition, special edition for the nobility, special edition for the royal family and other editions caused frenzied buying at all levels of society under different prices.
What? You said that you, an earl, didn't buy the special edition for the nobles or the special edition for the royal family and went to buy the hardcover edition? roll! I don't have such an embarrassing friend as you, all friends!
The nobles can’t afford to be ashamed, even if they know that the special edition has far exceeded its original value, but the rich high elves don’t care so much, buy, buy, buy! I have to buy it so that my colleagues don't look down on me.
Ordinary people don’t pay so much attention. They drink the regular version for themselves and give away the hardcover version. But in fact, this part of the wine is the most sold. After all, the base of ordinary people is there.
The launch of magic wine has also promoted the vitality of the high elf society from the side. Some elves who usually enjoy the country's rations would rather go out to work and make money in order to drink more magic wine.
Although there are not many elves in this part, overall, the employment rate of Quel'Thalas has increased somewhat in recent years.
Based on the follow-up feedback, Scitech also specially sought out experienced traditional brewers for advice on how to improve the taste. This attitude of excellence makes the market share of magic wine rise steadily.
What is specially supplied to the royal family is of course not the so-called "special edition for the royal family" circulating in the market, but it is really made with the finest craftsmanship from beginning to end.
Even squeezing the air at the end...which is commonly known as the process of stepping on wine, Seth specially found the pure girls of the high elves to perform it.
Even the winemakers in the royal court couldn’t find any thorns in the finished product. The Sun King, who had tasted it, was so happy that he sent all the winemakers in the royal court to the winery in the barony to help produce special wine.
However, the spread of magic wine has obviously brought a devastating impact on the traditional wine industry. Under the operation of the shrewd Lisson, some wineries with difficult operations have been acquired one after another. embarrassment.
Without a large amount of money, the government officials who had been bribed began to defy him. Darkan had no choice but to take risks and increase the number of caravans smuggled to human countries. I found out that I was severely punished.
Darkhan's power is not as powerful as it was five years ago. Not only did his allies betray him, but the Sun King and Osis have also been staring at him for investigations in recent years. Recently, he has gotten closer to some of his core plans.
After Arkandor was planted, Farodin said that he would stay at Fatherin College to observe the growth of this miracle tree at any time, and he did not plan to leave until it entered a stable period.
The Sun King had already prepared for this, and specially arranged a room for him in Fatherin College. Although the only druid who could grow Arcandor was a "rough commoner" that displeased him, but I really can't do without him now.
After the tree planting ceremony was completed, under Charlemagne's retention, the councilors and Anasterian were sent back to the meeting hall of the Tower of Sunfury. Next, Charlemagne still had important matters to report.
"Night elves' high-level meeting invitation?!"
The Sun King frowned and twirled his beard and said, "Is it the Emerald Dream... I have heard it mentioned by the late king Dath'Rema before, no wonder you haven't heard anything about it in the past five years."
The Sun King, who was used to Charlemagne often bringing him some surprises, hadn't received any news from Baron Theron in the past five years, and he was still a little unaccustomed for a while.
Sure enough, this kid brought them a major problem as soon as he came back.
But for Anasterian, this is also an opportunity "Everyone, cough cough..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the Sun King immediately covered his mouth and began to cough. The Silver Moon Council had already gotten used to this in the past five years. Although they looked worried, they didn't make too much fuss.
But Charlemagne was very surprised by this, "Your Majesty?!"
Anasterian waved his hand and said, "Ahem...it's nothing to do, it's just an old problem. It seems that my lifespan is coming to an end soon. I hope you can continue to assist Kael'thas in the future, cough..."
"yes!"
At this time, Charlemagne felt something was wrong. The current Sun King Anasterian should have lived until Alsace attacked Quel'Thalas before he stood up and resisted with the Flame Strike and finally died in battle.
‘It’s too early, how could the Sun King who died only 20 years ago in Heimen...could it be the butterfly effect brought by me? '
Anasterian didn't give Charlemagne time to think in detail, and he continued to host the previously suspended topic.
"Members, please vote on whether to attend the high-level meeting of the night elves. Since we Kaldorei cousins have paid so much attention to it, I am afraid that the threat of the Burning Legion cannot be ignored. This vote will also decide whether to mobilize the national army. "
After all, the night elves were the ones who personally experienced the battle of the ancients ten thousand years ago. Compared with Tyrande and the others, Anasterian and Osis were just juniors.
Not surprisingly, Darkan still voted against without hesitation, but this time he couldn't get so much support.
Although the two members of Corona and Fireweave are still worried about whether the Sun King will liquidate them after he takes control of the army, Osis has repeatedly assured them in recent years that the Sun King will not attack them. In the end, the two reconciled Three other MPs voted in favour.
"Five to one, the result is out. I personally agree with this high-level meeting with Kadorei after a long absence, so the next question is about the candidates to attend, ahem..."
Given Anasterian's current physical condition, it is obviously not suitable to participate in this meeting. Finally, after the deliberations of the members, it was decided to recall Prince Kael'thas who is currently studying in Dalaran. Wen and the two councilors went together with the night children's refugee leader Ke Lixia and Baron Theron.
The specific schedule still requires Charlemagne to first teleport to Astrana and the night elves for further contact. During this period of time, the high elves also need to prepare for this important meeting, and those "rough civilians" can't show it to them. Flattened.
After the meeting, Darkan didn't even bother to do superficial efforts, and directly teleported back to his mage tower in front of everyone with a gloomy face.
Seeing Darkan's actions, the Sun King unconsciously flashed a hint of pleasure and sarcasm, "Heh! This guy is probably in a hurry to go back and get rid of his shameful things. Don't worry about him, Charlemagne, you have been away from home for five years. Haven't been back before, don't be in a hurry to get down to business, how about going back to see your own territory?"
Charlemagne originally planned in this way, and agreed after the Sun King made a suggestion.
"Yes! Then I will take my leave first. Your Majesty, please pay attention to your health."
As he spoke, he immediately activated the teleportation technique and prepared to return to Taquilin and his home.
‘Aurelia…Sorry to keep you waiting! '
