"That's really great, but don't worry, Varian, I can still stabilize food prices. So don't be too anxious, everything will be fine."
He was invited here to help Bolvar stop Varian, so he was not in a hurry. For him, this matter was nothing, and there was nothing wrong with taking the opportunity to get to know Varian.
"Okay, okay, you're here, what else can I say..."
After shaking his head, Li Ke and Varian walked toward the garden, and Varian continued to talk with a helpless expression.
"To be honest, I really hope there are more people like you. In this case, this kingdom will not become what it is now. The current Stormwind City is really..."
He sighed deeply and let out a long sigh.
"A smoky atmosphere."
These words should not be said to Li Ke, but Varian feels that Li Ke is the same person as him, and Li Ke's reputation among the nobles is indeed enough to convince Varian.
not worried.
"I feel this deeply. Your tax collectors have complained a lot. They can't pay the taxes. Even some tax collectors who collect potatoes and wheat have to find ways to save these things themselves."
Li Ke couldn't help but think of the team of tax collectors who stayed in Stormwind City when he first arrived. It's funny to say that because the position of chief tax collector is so important, they all want to recommend one of their own to take up the position, even though the big head
It still has to be given to Varian, but a little bit of a country's tax revenue is enough to make a huge fortune.
And obviously, Varian had to give in to the nobles for various reasons.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why only one tax department is paralyzed.
To be honest, Li Ke is already very satisfied with this result, because this is only the first stage.
Moreover, these, as the most elite troops under Varian, are actually quite uncomfortable now. Their situation is very difficult, because they can neither cause problems with taxation, but also ensure that they themselves can eat and drink.
Although they can eat and drink from taxes, there is a limit.
In this case, the limit has been used up and there is no way to take more.
And in this dire situation, if the tax money stays outside the warehouse of Stormwind City for a long time, some fierce people will start to think that it will not be kept in full.
It can be said that this is the dilemma of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
"It can't be helped... who prevents Bolvar and Dame Presto from becoming tax collectors?"
Varian sighed. If Lothar was still alive, or Lothar had a son, or his wife was still alive, this matter wouldn't be a big deal at all. Just find a relative.
But here's the problem.
Most of his relatives were killed by orcs.
My wife is dead.
The son is too young to marry.
Lothar never married and did not even have an illegitimate child.
Turalyon ran to Outland.
There is no one he can trust, and the person he was thrown into the cell before is already the person he can trust the most.
But the result is that he betrayed himself, took countless bribes and bribes, and did many stupid things. Even if he wanted to protect him, he didn't know how to protect him. This put him in the passive situation he is in now.
"The more I talk, the angrier I get. Let's go, Li Ke. There are so many irritating things in this world."
Varian twisted his head and waved to Li Ke.
"My soldiers told me that your Holy Light spell is simply synonymous with magic. Do you want to play it?"
Have fun?
Li Ke looked to the side of the garden, where there was a row of unopened weapons, but he thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Let's forget it, next time, Your Majesty Varian."
He really came here this time to dissuade Varian from being impulsive.
"It's really disappointing. Bolvar asked you to come here just to make me happy. This should be the king's privilege, right? Bolvar?"
Varian sat back in his seat, then supported his chin with his hand and spoke to Bolvar on the side.
Bolvar nodded, and at the same time, he showed an expression of help to Li Ke.
"Of course, Your Majesty."
Li Ke pretended not to see his expression, but looked at Varian.
"It doesn't have to be a fight. Are you interested in trying the drinks and food I make? Your Majesty."
Li Ke took out the kettle from his arms and put it in front of Varian. The palace servant on the side came over and wanted to take the kettle away, but Varian opened his hand.
"Come on, An Luo, if you can't believe such a paladin, then there's nothing left to believe."
But his palace chamberlain firmly took the kettle away from him.
"But even the greatest heroes will sometimes be negligent."
She smiled apologetically at Li Ke.
"Sorry, Mr. Li Ke, I'm not targeting you."
After saying that, she forcefully took the kettle away from the reluctant Varian and walked aside, leaving Varian to helplessly cover his face.
After a while, the chamberlain named An Luo took Li Ke's kettle back, brought over several wine glasses, and spoke to Varian carefully.
“It might taste more than you think, but it’s pretty good.”
After she finished speaking, she thoughtfully poured the dark, bubbling liquid onto the three of them, making Varian and Bolvar frown.
Bolvar carefully poked the cup in front of him. Looking at the dark appearance, he honestly doubted whether it was poison.
But the waiter said it was okay, so he picked it up carefully. Varian also picked up the cold black liquid carefully, and he could clearly see the bubbles in it.
"What's this?"
He asked curiously.
"Forgetting potion, as long as you drink it, you will forget what you drank, and then you will take another sip when you see this thing."
Li Ke started the joke seriously, but Varian just rolled his eyes and drank it before Bolvar drank.
In an instant, the impact of the cold sweetness and bubbles made his eyes widen.
But he didn't spit out what was in his mouth, but drank it directly, which scared Bolvar to the point where he almost stood up.
But Varian was obviously fine, so he took another big gulp and drank all the forgetfulness potion in the cup.
He really likes the taste of this drink, it's sweet and has a strong impact, it's a very stimulating drink.
However, he was even more curious about the name of this thing.
"Hmm! This feeling! It's great! Li Ke, isn't this really called the Forgetting Potion?"
