Seeing his student fall, Crassus' lips trembled slightly, and then he let out a long sigh.
"I hope your awareness will not be used."
In fact, he also had an ominous premonition like Luo Ning, but the world is like this. Sometimes, even if you are extremely reluctant, you have to do something you don't like to do.
No matter how much he didn't want his disciples to encounter such a thing, he still couldn't stop it because this was what they had to face.
They must face an enemy they cannot fight, and at this time, sacrifice is necessary.
He looked at his disciple, with tears in his eyes. If it weren't for him, he would be living a normal life with his lover. Finally, he couldn't hold back and said what he wanted to say most.
"The world will remember your sacrifice, Luo Ning."
You will become a hero.
He clenched his hands.
"You will survive, Ronin. I promise you, you will survive."
Crassus clenched his palms. He knew that he had many important tasks, but at this moment, he only wanted to do one thing.
That is to dedicate one's strength to this person who is willing to selflessly dedicate himself to the whole world, so that he can return to his hometown safely, so that he can live his life normally.
"Alexstrasza...my love, please give me strength and the courage to face the unknown of death."
He took a deep breath and tried hard to give himself the courage to defeat death, the unknown and the uneasiness.
He knew that he was also afraid of death, because no one knew where the dead went in the end, and where their souls would go after they dissipated. The only thing he could guarantee was -
"Dear Alexstrasza, when I close my eyes, I don't know what contribution I have made to you and the world, but I know that I am definitely...
"
Crassus's voice slowly dissipated in the wind and snow.
And Lordaeron at this moment.
"It's really scary...it seems like I made a wrong decision."
Terenas looked at the report sent up, which was the amount of raw materials purchased by Li Ke.
The purchase order of millions of gold coins made Terenas's expression of surprise disappear, leaving only the indifference and indifference.
Even though he knew very well that Li Ke, who could consume such quantities of raw materials and was still following up, how amazing his warehouse was and how terrifying his industry was.
But the holy light in his body gave him strong energy, making him capable and confident, and he was sure that he could solve the trouble caused by Li Ke.
Yes, it is troublesome.
Although he had clearly understood from the reports on these raw materials what kind of industrial behemoth Li Ke was, he still did not panic at all.
Because Li Ke has already crossed the line.
The line of the dwarf, the line of the dwarf, the reason why he does not engage in industry is also very simple, because once humans begin to vigorously develop their own industry, if there is not a terrible enemy, or an absolute force, then you will be in the beginning.
In an instant, you will be surrounded on all sides.
Goblins, gnomes, and dwarves will not sit back and watch your development, and the high elves combined with Dalaran will not sit back and watch your magical power develop.
In Terenas' view, what the elves and Dalaran mages said about preventing the abuse of magic and preventing demons from discovering their world were all nonsense.
Because what they do is to monopolize, they develop countless mages while squeezing the jobs that these mages can survive in Dalaran, and constantly introduce various laws and regulations to regulate the work outside Dalaran.
Regarding the methods and restrictions of spell casting, in this case, you tell him that this is not restricting the outflow of spells? Is this not monopolizing it?
It's just a joke.
Therefore, Li Ke's rise will inevitably bring him a lot of enemies, and these enemies will naturally reunite under his command in Lordaeron.
But now he doesn't need to put excessive pressure on Li Ke. When everyone is dissatisfied with him, he can cut off his material line and ask all countries not to buy his items.
Although he is powerful, there is one thing that can never be changed.
He does not have his own stable resource output and a large enough market.
He has too few people!
Terenas sneered. The population of Lordaeron was Lordaeron's advantage. No matter how big the trouble Li Ke made, in the end, only the people of Lordaeron would win the final victory.
This is inevitable and the truth of the world.
As for what kind of industry and what kind of technology...
That's going to be a winner's stuff.
"Industry is such a tempting thing."
Terenas took a deep breath. He just estimated that he would be shocked by the industrial and human power that Li Ke wanted to show now.
But soon, I will feel regretful that I can't see this scene.
Although there are ways to become immortal to achieve eternity, his rule does not come from immortality. In this world, for your subjects, an immortal king is much more terrifying than a huge enemy.
.
Because if a king is immortal, it means that those people will always be at the top.
A country can quickly become a backwater.
Terenas looked at the report in front of him. He was almost certain that in the near future, these lords would definitely try their best to kill Li Ke, because Li Ke would monopolize almost all their business.
But now, it is impossible for him to control the raw materials of his country from flowing to Li Ke.
But this little guy Li Ke doesn't abide by the rules. Although he can't stop him now, it doesn't stop him from collecting more money and relying on this to gain more reputation among the nobles.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And the method is also very simple.
"Ask all the lords to double the price of the things Li Ke acquires. They also said that the taxes would be tripled and exempted from Li Ke's tax benefits. But don't make it public. Just tell him directly that he doesn't have to pay.
You don’t have to do business in this area.”
Terenas' cold voice made the steward next to him take action immediately, but just as the steward was about to leave, Terenas suddenly spoke.
"Also, tax the undead."
Terenas looked at the number of undead and felt a little headache, because these undead don't need clothes, food, or salt, so he can see with the naked eye that there will be at least one fifth of them in the future.
Due to various reasons, one becomes immortal and then pays a lot less taxes.
So the question arises, how to get back the missing tax?
Only one new tax item can be added.
Moreover, he must curb the development of the undead. Although future industrialization will definitely require the participation of the undead, the current number...
Looking at the number of undead in his kingdom, Terenas frowned and couldn't help but sigh.
But who can do anything about it? This is all the trouble caused by his son, and he can only catch it naturally and deal with it.
But the good thing is that the undead are indeed very good workers and can greatly promote the progress of his future industrialization.
And the reason why he didn't ban Li Ke's products was also because of this. He needed Li Ke's products to explore the way, to see what kind of industrial products his people needed, and to get his people to accept these new things.
These things are more troublesome. Because Alsace is not here, he can't find anyone to talk to about his thoughts and his wonderful plans, so he can only watch the palace guards leave him, and then sigh silently.
"This world is really fascinating..."
He is so obsessed with power. Since his body has improved visibly, the atmosphere where everyone is waiting for his death has finally disappeared a lot.
Although he also knew that this was not a good thing, he had to say that it felt really good.
Clenching his fists, Terenas had never felt so good.
Power gave him spirit, and holy light gave him body.
It seems he can do more.
"Holy Light...can I live another ten years?"
He couldn't help but think that if he could live another ten years, no, fifteen years, then the world would be unified in his hands, not in the hands of his son Arthas.
He can be the emperor who is as great as Thoradin, no, even greater than Thoradin! The master of the empire!
Terenas felt that his heart was beating rapidly. He no longer had these ambitions, but as he became more and more aligned with the Holy Light, he also felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger.
stand up.
He still does not intend to become a physically immortal king, but for the immortality in spirit and deeds...
Looking at the sunlight falling from the window, Terenas hesitated for a long time. He didn't know what to choose.
He used to give the choice of the crown to unify mankind to his son, but when he found out that he could get this crown, he couldn't help but have other ideas.
"Alsace, you will be better than me, won't you?"
He couldn't help mumbling to himself, and his mind kept wandering to the entire human world.
Just like his order.
The order to collect taxes from the undead.
"asshole!!"
Arthas looked at his father's latest decree and couldn't help but grab his hair. He looked at the letter in front of him angrily and sadly. He failed to catch those orcs, causing Timmy to lose himself.
His father was enough to make him angry.
But there happened to be more annoying news.
Things in Stratholme were exposed.
It was not that the news that he ordered the transformation of the villagers was exposed, but that some necromancers were not good at studying, which caused the undead plague to break out in advance!
This kind of thing would make him angry to death, because Dalaran would definitely investigate!
Then, he was shown his father's ridiculous order!
He could see that his father was preparing to fight against Li Ke. When the giant beast released by Li Ke bites people, the undead workers will definitely become an excellent weapon for them to fight against Li Ke!
But he didn't understand, couldn't these people who became immortals be able to live a good life for a year?
It has only been a few months and my father is about to collect their taxes!
Why have those shelters that cost the people of Lordaeron a lot of money, have no achievements or gains, and are simply built for those brutal orcs, have not been stopped for so long, while a bill to tax the undead has been passed like this?
So fast!
And it was his own father who passed it!
He felt ashamed!
Absolute disgrace!
Suddenly he was so angry that he wanted to sweep everything at hand to the ground and yell, but he knew that this was definitely not something a normal, wise leader would do.
"No, I have to do my thing right away."
What he had been thinking about before was how to convince his father, how to make a final decision and make his father accept it.
But now he found that his father...may not be able to accept new things.
This made him very frustrated.
"It must be faster, it must be faster..."
Alsace kept repeating this sentence, his heart was extremely anxious, and finally, he made a decision.
"The situation must be expanded, otherwise, my father will not take it seriously, and will even divide these undead who appeared on their own into the hands of various nobles, turning them into slaves completely!"
Alsace no longer trusted the nobles and his father. He thought firmly, so he gave an order to the gem in his hand.
During this period of time, Arthas's magic skills increased considerably, so he could easily give orders to the people Kel'Thuzad left behind.
Those magics were no more difficult than some political matters, and when he made up his mind to learn them, there was no difficulty at all.
Therefore, the believers of the Cursed Sect far away in the east of Lordaeron received such an order.
"Spread the influence of the Cursed Sect, and attract those civilians who have no food to eat to join the Cursed Sect, and then spread the plague! Spread indiscriminately!"
His tone was quite decisive, making the members of the Cursed Sect working here look at each other again.
But when everyone looked at each other, Mr. Barov spoke.
"What are you doing standing still? Haven't we received even more outrageous orders before!"
His words made many believers of the Curse Sect nod their heads one after another, and then started their work.
As a result, a large plague net quickly surrounded the entire Lordaeron region, once again sending things towards an irreversible point.
