Alsace strode towards the meeting hall. During this time, his father usually met with nobles in the hall, and from the maid's recent announcement, he also knew that his uncle was here today.
That is, the textile monopoly of Lordaeron.
He originally didn't want to see his uncle, but the new plan required him to get closer to him.
However, on the way to the meeting hall, he saw an unexpected but reasonable person.
Sir Prestor.
Priest was very surprised to see his arrival. He opened his hands and saluted Alsace.
"Oh, Your Highness, I thought..."
Arthas immediately knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted him abruptly. This was not only part of his plan, but also his true thoughts and attitude.
"What's the reason for you coming here? Sir Presto, I think you must be here for Li Ke's matter again, right?"
There was a sarcastic look on his face.
Presto and Li Ke have a very good relationship. They have given their daughters as mistresses, so naturally they want to gain something.
Once his uncle monopolizes machinery and manufactures cotton cloth and the like on a large scale, his investment will naturally suffer losses. Not only that, but once his uncle demands to expel Li Ke's products, things will be very troublesome.
.
but……
Looking at Prestor with a smile on his face, Arthas was curious. Did he know that his father wanted to weaken the power of the nobles, or did he not know?
In the past few days, Alsace has thought more time and deeply than he has in his entire life, so he can also see that his father has not thought about restricting the nobles, but he has been thinking about it for a long time, and it is nothing more than
The Knights of the Silver Hand are just a product that cannot be copied.
And the fundamental thing is to use religion and the nobles of other countries to suppress the nobles of the country. It is simply weeding and only cutting off the top, but not digging out the roots.
It is meaningless. It is just to consolidate one's own rights and does not bring any help or progress to the current situation.
Therefore, he was very sure that his uncle could never achieve a monopoly. The best his father could do was give him the machine, but whether he should import goods from Li Ke or not, everyone would have to listen to him.
But what's interesting is whether Presto knew.
I don’t know, then he is an idiot. Judging from his various behaviors, he doesn’t look like an idiot.
So that means there are other demands and interests.
You know, then he is looking for himself this time because he is inclined to invest in himself.
There are too many rights and wrongs in it.
Alsace used to find it annoying to think like this, but now, although he still finds it annoying, there is an added feeling.
Ridiculous feeling.
"The prince is really aware of everything..."
Alsace looked at Presto in confusion.
"Clearly aware of everything? Interesting words."
He probably understood the meaning of the word, but had never heard of it.
"Ah, Li Ke often says some interesting words, and I understand them to a certain extent because of my daughter. After all, my daughter often complains that Li Ke often writes things in official documents that he finds simple and easy to understand, but others seem confused.
Water words and short sentences. For example, well, if the communication with some businessmen fails, he will say something like, 'We have fully exchanged views, but we have reservations about their requests, and we will reconsider this issue.
position, and reserves the right to make further reactions, and hopes that everyone will be mentally and materially prepared.' However, such a long paragraph actually means only one thing."
Presto spread his hands.
When Alsace heard this, he felt a little dizzy, so he frowned and asked.
"What?"
"The talks have collapsed and we are preparing to start fighting. There may be a shortage of corresponding supplies. Please prepare."
"..."
Alsace rubbed his eyebrows and spoke sarcastically.
"He should really write a novel."
"Ah this..."
Presto was a little surprised, because Li Ke was really writing. The Golden Scale, which is very popular in Stormwind City recently, is not a thing in the pool. He also wrote about Dragon Envoy.
To be precise, it was dictated by Li Ke, and then written by his little elf slave girl who was lying on the table and moaning.
Although he was unhappy with what Li Ke wrote about contracting dragons and manipulating dragons, he was relieved when he thought that Li Ke was a dragon lunatic who thought he was a human.
He is already insane, what else can he do?
It's not his dragon mother's fault for not taking a good look at the dragon eggs. What else can he do?
Why don't you forgive him with a smile?
There is no way to grow your own seeds.
Arthas was not in the mood to discuss the authenticity of some of the information revealed by Presto, and he had no intention of discussing the fact that Li Ke was not doing his job and writing pornographic novels.
He just feels that Li Ke is not a person who can shoulder big responsibilities. Does a person who indulges in sensuality know what is really important?
So after seeing Presto's awkward expression and confirming some information about Li Ke, he became more determined in his beliefs and path. He has completely understood that he is different from Li Ke.
, only that lofty and sacred goal.
He has surpassed Li Ke!
So instead of changing the subject by talking about something interesting according to the rules of the nobility, he asked directly.
"So, you are not just here to relax, right?"
Presto spread his hands helplessly, as if he was helpless at the prince's impatience.
"His Royal Highness is really impatient. Although this is indeed the case. I am indeed a little worried. After all, there are some unknown transactions between Mr. Li Ke and me, and these transactions are very profitable. But if I continue to
If you take charge, there will be a lot of criticism."
Presto's smile became calmer and calmer, making Alsace realize once again that this man was indeed a first-class smart man.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So?"
"Your Highness? You must be short of money, right?"
"How much to divide into."
"Thirty percent is yours, but on the surface it's 70%...after all, other people also have to eat, and you and I both want to unite some nobles, don't we?"
Arthas felt that he understood what the future king meant.
Prestor needs money to win over the Alterac people, and he feels that he also needs money to win over his own men, so it is naturally best for him to contribute money and efforts and become famous to cover risks.
To a certain extent, he was right. He was indeed short of money, and it was money whose origin could not be traced.
The activities of Kel'Thuzad's men also require money.
but……
"Thirty percent is too low. I want 40%, otherwise we won't discuss it."
Alsace's voice was quite cold, and as expected, Presto nodded in agreement even though there was a helpless look on his face.
"You are really greedy, but who told me not to care about money?"
Sure enough, what he wanted was not money.
Alsace narrowed his eyes and turned towards his father's meeting hall, but his heart was filled with pride and sadness at the same time.
The sad thing is that people like Li Ke have started to act wildly. Is there really anyone in this world who can fight alongside him?
The proud thing is that this guy Li Ke really doesn't have his will and talent. Even though he has taken all the opportunities and advantages, his belief in the Holy Light and the flaws in his personality have made him unable to be like himself.
, firmly walking on the right path.
The real heaven on earth can only be created by Him!
But what he didn't know, Presto looked at his back and shook his head.
"The fish bit the hook."
Li Ke, who is far away in Stormwind City, still doesn't know the news. He is lying in the bathtub. Silonas is working underwater with her demonic talent, and what he is lying on is Griet's mind.
The one feeding him grapes in his arms was his elf maid.
Onyxia, who was sitting on the side of the bath with red wine, looked at Li Ke who closed his eyes and enjoyed it, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Do you want me to help you deal with your publishing of erotic books? After all, you have to maintain a glorious image."
Because Li Ke offended too many people, his writing of books to earn extra money was exposed, but as a countess, he could still be suppressed.
"No need."
Li Ke opened his eyes and gently stroked Sironas's horns exposed above the water. These horns, which had almost the same touch as the other person's skin, felt quite comfortable, which made him want to kill her more and more.
What a cute guy.
"People always like to discover the stains on great men and the shining points on criminals. They also like to overthrow things they believed in before and believe in things they didn't believe before."
Putting his other hand on his chin, Li Ke went on to tell his reasons, or in other words, his views on the world during this period.
A completely different view from my previous self.
"So it is easiest to be a bad person who is not so bad, and a good person who is not so good. People will question the existence of white, and they will also question the existence of black, but they will never question the existence of gray. Because people themselves
Even if we live in gray, the world that humans live in is also built on gray that includes black and white.”
He kissed the elf maid's pink lips and ate the grapes.
"After all, I don't want to build a Holy Light Kingdom with only one will and become the only god of this Holy Light Kingdom. Why should I be so tired? Besides, do I still have a reputation among the nobles? So I might as well live a real life.
Some... In addition, although being too holy will bring fanatical believers, it will also alienate most people. My dear, just like a religion that only knows how to punish evil people cannot last long, only a church that gives people the opportunity to repent can survive.
, people are complicated, they are more willing to see the side that is close to them, my enjoyment and hobbies will not affect their real interests, so they will laugh at me and use this matter as a talking point, but what I need to fight for
People will never completely alienate me because of this. You know, who know who I am fighting for, will they alienate me because of this? They won't. So there is no need to waste your efforts and consume your influence.
On an insignificant matter."
Moreover, it was too tiring to be a truly great man. Li Ke felt that he could not do it, and...
Li Ke looked at Onyxia, manipulating six completely different powers that were mutually exclusive and integrated, and used the different characteristics of these powers to wrap up Onyxia who was outside.
These six powers are extremely sacred in the hearts of their respective supporters, but they were used by Li Ke to do such vulgar and filthy things.
But it has to be said that in the hands of a master of energy manipulation like Li Ke, the characteristics of these powers are so perfect and so suitable for this kind of thing.
Onyxia's body was infected, her emotions were activated, and her body and will were affected to the point where she was unable to control herself.
The holy light makes her warm and passionate, the evil makes her have impulses, the shadow reminds her of desire, the arcane makes her body start to function, death makes her instincts activated, and life makes her more emotional and juicy.
A perfect match.
So the next moment, Onyxia couldn't sit still due to her too intense reaction, and fell into the bath. Her expensive and exquisite black silk dress and white stockings, which revealed the beauty of industrial creation and order, also
Wet and torn.
… There is no real soil for heaven on earth in this world.
