The noble looked at the nobles around him with a proud smile on his face.
Under his greetings, the faces of other nobles also smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
So they raised the wine glasses in their hands. The exquisite glasses were filled with wine that looked like blood.
This bright red wine sets off their white cheeks, well-maintained skin, and the rotten teeth that each of them has, making them look very much like the legendary vampires.
Although it is similar in practice, they themselves do not think so.
They think they are -
A true Stormwind native.
"As we drink wine to our victory, I hope we can thank some people,"
Another old nobleman stood up from the crowd. He was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face. The guests around him immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing.
But the laughter didn't mean to end soon, and the old man didn't mean to be annoyed either. He just smiled and watched the laughter slowly disappear, and then raised his glass high.
"First of all, we have to respect those farmers, because only through their hard work can we have so much food. Of course, we all get it through legal channels, and this is what we deserve."
When he said this, he couldn't help but raise his head, very proud.
Because he is an old-school aristocrat who lives off the land.
His words caused some nobles to nod and applaud enthusiastically.
"Secondly, we have to pay tribute to the merchants who helped us gain wealth. Without their strong support and their hard work in the entire kingdom, like worker bees, it would be difficult for us to see such a grand event, so
, we have to respect these businessmen."
This time, the applause was still enthusiastic, but not many people nodded.
Then, the old noble looked around and raised the wine glass above his head.
"The most important thing is that we must respect ourselves, because we form this kingdom, we are the real Stormwind City, and this kingdom exists precisely because of our existence! Only we can lead those untouchables to a new world.
One victory after another! Without us! Those farmers cannot grow food! Without us, it is impossible for merchants to trade, and without us, the king will be a waste! Who has left in the whole world, society and the world can continue
Keep turning! But without the nobility, without us noble people, everyone! The world will be destroyed!"
After he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause, and most of the nobles stood up and applauded, because what he said was so right!
These nobles are so important. No one in this world can leave the nobles.
Without them, civilians would not know what rules are, and eventually bandits would run rampant and countless people would starve to death.
Without them, soldiers would not know who they were fighting for, and no one would be able to provide them with supplies, teach them how to deal with the enemy, or command them.
Soldiers will become useless.
Without them, businessmen would not know how to do business, and their business roads would be filled with all kinds of bandits and robbers.
Businessmen will become farmers.
They are so important.
"Finally, I want to thank the goblins and orcs for giving us the opportunity to push our world to greater heights!"
The old nobleman laughed loudly and drank all the wine in his mouth.
The other people also laughed out loud, because what the old noble said was indeed true. Without the attacks of real goblins and orcs, they really wouldn't be able to perform such a simple operation.
the most important is--
"Dear, food prices have risen again."
Howlson's wife reluctantly spoke to her husband.
"The price has increased again?"
Howson looked at his wife in shock and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, you have also heard that during this period, goblins and orcs have been plundering business roads and towns. Many farmers have hid. They crowded in the church and refused to leave. And many people hid directly in the church.
In the cellar, I wanted to deceive the orcs. Plus everyone was afraid, so the price skyrocketed."
Howson's wife sighed.
"How much has it increased?"
The middle-aged tax collector sighed and asked.
"It's already the same price as cotton. Before the news broke, the same money could buy a whole loaf of bread, but now you can only buy three slices. Even so, you may not be able to buy it. Howson,
Eating is not a problem for us now, but if nothing unexpected happens, you'd better organize a hunt, otherwise your men will starve to death at home."
His wife thought about it and told her the dilemma she encountered.
She has always felt that as a wife, she should allow her family to fill their stomachs with the best possible money.
Although she had the foresight to buy a lot of grain and store it in the cellar of her home, according to her husband's character, the grain was likely to be later distributed to poor families who were really about to starve to death.
She did not object to this, but asked her husband to go hunting with the king's tax collectors and soldiers.
After all, the husband is responsible for supporting the family. Since he wants to be kind, he must provide food for the children.
It doesn't matter to her, even if she is eating black bread with her husband, she will be happy, but the child is not the same. The child is the crystallization of their love. They brought them into this world for love and happiness, so they must shoulder the responsibility.
The responsibility is to let them grow up healthily.
"I see……"
Howson let out a long sigh. He really didn't want his men to do anything other than be loyal to the king, but the current situation is that if he doesn't take these young men to hunt, these people will
People will really starve to death in their homes.
But the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Because after the orcs and goblins incident, the two families that had been soaring began to double their growth. This was not the first time that he heard the news of rising food prices from his wife.
Before, his wife would not suggest that he take people out hunting, after all, it was against the rules.
But now, his wife has persuaded him, which proves that things have reached an intolerable limit.
"What the hell, when will a soldier's salary not be enough to support his family? These damn bastards!"
His anger was filled with confusion, because he simply didn't understand what the big shots above were thinking.
Can’t we let the people below live a good life?
Don’t they understand the importance of the people?!
