Ryan frowned instantly: "What do he want to do?"

Ryan didn't know much about maritime affairs. But Ryan at least knew that even the famous Minaihill port was just made of wooden piers.

Only the largest kingdom of Kurtiras, the Navy, has a large number of heavy-tonnage ships entering and leaving the port every day, has abandoned the wooden terminal and replaced it with a stronger stone terminal.

"My Majesty, I had the same concerns as you at first. But he proved his loyalty in another way."

"Um?"

"He proposed to offer a gift to your Majesty, to provide you with wholly-owned funding to the Storm Kingdom to form a navy of 16 medium-sized sailboats. He is only responsible for the investment. The ship can be ordered from Kurtiras, the cannons are purchased by Iron Fortress, and all the personnel are paid by us. He even covers the training costs of the personnel." Speaking of this, even if Anduin strives to explain the proposal in a neutral tone, he still cannot hide the excitement in his tone.

The west of Storm City is filled with seas. Storm Kingdom has a long coastline, but it cannot be effectively utilized for a long time.

Building a navy that was enough to defend the coastline of the Storm Kingdom was also one of Anduin's wishes.

Ryan is not a fool. Everything in front of him comes too easily and too dreamy, but it makes him feel a little unreal.

If Duke attempts to form an armed fleet that is enough to beat the Storm Kingdom Navy, Ryan will not agree to anything and will definitely kill Duke's plan in advance.

But Duke cleverly blocked Ryan and the nobles' mouths.

It is indeed a bit of a ban on my use of a crossbow, but if I use a cannon for you, then you are not afraid, right?

Gunpowder weapons in the Azeroth world have not yet begun to become popular. Although cannons have good damage, they are mostly slow-moving bore cannons. However, no matter how far behind the cannons are, they are completely good at crossbows in naval battles. In terms of range and power, the cannons are better. Perhaps only the speed of the cannons will be faster.

After thinking for a while, King Ryan spoke cautiously: "What does this young Duke want?"

"A perfume called Chanel is about to be launched for a hundred years." Anduin Lothar recalled the message from Duke's messenger Windsor: "He also said, Your Majesty, you will soon know the magic of this perfume."

Ryan didn't answer positively: "What else?"

Anduin Lothar gently tapped the table with his finger: "He wanted to make more money, enough to build a great wizard tower comparable to Karazan."

When King Ryan heard this, he smiled immediately, and most of the doubts in his heart were resolved.

He had heard of Duke's arrogance. It was greater than greatness, surpassing Medivh, who was the guardian of the world. Of course, Ryan knew how astronomical the construction fee of a top-level mage tower was. It was a terrifying number that might not be enough to fill the entire Storm Kingdom treasury.

Duke is now talented, not only in spells but also in business. If you aim for this, that's not a strange thing.

Ryan smiled: "It should be no big problem. I will think about it carefully tonight and reply to you tomorrow."

"Yeah." Anduin retreated.

After looking at the cluster of extremely beautiful red coral trees, Ryan turned around and entered the imperial study to correct the official documents. Before he knew it, it was late at night and Ryan felt sleepy. When he returned to the dormitory, he suddenly smelled a very elegant but refreshing smell.

Sweet, tempting, but not irritating.

Following the fragrance, Ryan suddenly discovered that the source of the fragrance was his lover. The queen was wearing a nightgown and lying on the big bed.

"Oh - my queen, you're so special tonight." Ryan couldn't help but pounce on him, hugged the queen's slender waist, and sniffed it hard. Ryan suddenly felt a warm feeling that it began to burn in his lower abdomen.

"This is the new perfume I just got. Do you like it?" the queen smiled sweetly.

"Oh, hell, no, that's great." Ryan immediately understood what Anduin said during the meal, 'You'll soon know the magic of this perfume'. The little guy Duke actually knew how to buy the queen?! Ryan was a little chewy: "This thing will turn all men into beasts."

"Then you come and eat me." The queen chuckled.

At this moment, Ryan made a decision.

That evening, the great King Ryan had a pleasant evening.

The next morning, when Anduin saw the king wearing a turtleneck shirt that was not in season, Anduin immediately understood that His Majesty the King was trying to hide the mark of passion on his neck.

"Damn it! I hate you so smart for the first time." The king was a little amused.

"Okay, great Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

"I agreed, but there is an additional condition - as my protection of his business, I need him to take out an extra money to help repair the walls of Stormwind."

"My King, your wisdom illuminates the entire land of the kingdom." Anduin did not forget to speak out.

"Tsk, I don't know who asked me for money to repair the city wall every three days!" Ryan pretended to be angry.

"Hahahaha!" A pair of monarchs and ministers laughed happily in the palace.

When the king's counter-suggestion was passed back to Duke, not only Macaro, but also Windsol showed an indignant expression.

"This time, Your Majesty is really open to the lion's mouth. You are just a little wealth, and you actually have to bear so many things." Wendsol spat fiercely.

Duke said lightly: "Reggie, run for me and say I agree."

"Well, I'll help you refuse... Uh, wait, you said you agree?" Even Wendersol, the loyal minister of the Storm Kingdom, opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"I have as much money as I want, but some things can't be compensated if I missed them." Duke did not explain anymore, and looked at the Stormwind City complex with the undulating mountains in the distance in the window of the small house that Anduin gave him.

Duke's mysterious thing is not the first day. Macaro and Windsol, who have little contact with the mage, both thought that the mages were like this.

Duke was unwilling to explain, because no one would believe it if he explained it.

Duke always felt very sorry for the destruction of Stormwind City during the first orc attack. Because this led to many tragedies, not only the massacre of the city this time, but also the tragedy of the nobles who did not pay construction fees when rebuilding Stormwind City in the future.

He doesn't know whether all this he is doing now can change the fate of Stormwind City.

However, in order to make up for the regrets in his heart, he is now trying his best to do what he can, not to do it, but to do it.

That's why Duke was willing to be "blacklisted" by Ryan because he was uncertain whether Medivh would be as tight as he did in history. Duke, who felt that time was urgent, believed that he would at least have to gain a certain amount of power and voice before the arrival of the [Dark Gate] incident.

Without aristocratic status, in the decadent Storm Kingdom aristocratic world, the only way to truly integrate into the aristocratic circle is to marry a noble woman with a noble status. But Duke does not have the kung fu to play political games, and similarly, any political commitment is unreliable.

In this case, if you want to have the power to be a chess player in the shortest time, you can only find another way.

Now, obviously Duke succeeded.

As soon as the news came out, Duke quickly added a new nickname - Duke, aquaman!
