This was a very official, cautious, and textbook standard answer. Sylvanas couldn't say anything, but this was not the answer she needed.
She then asked: "So do you think Quel'Thalas owes humanity anything? Or, does Quel'Thalas owe humanity anything during the last Troll War?"
"Owe humans, what do we owe humans?" Lor'themar didn't understand why Sylvanas asked. He frowned: "How could Quel'Thalas owe humans anything?"
Although humans helped Quel'Thalas defeat the troll attack in that war, it was Quel'Thalas who used magic to exchange with them for help.
Otherwise, humans still don’t know what magic is, not to mention that Quel’Thalas helped them build the magical city of Dalaran. Isn’t all of this enough?
"Is this your personal opinion?" Sylvanas asked. In fact, she thought so too.
"Yes! This is my personal opinion, and I also believe this is the opinion of most high elves." Lor'themar said.
"How do you know this is the view of most high elves? Did you guess it yourself?" Sylvanas asked.
"I guessed it, but I can prove it to you right away." Lor'themar stood up, went to the door and asked the guards to call 10 of them. They lined up and started asking the questions one by one. The answers they got were surprisingly consistent.
Lor'themar drove out a group of inexplicable soldiers, turned to Sylvanas and asked: "How is it? Am I right?"
"What you said makes some sense," Sylvanas nodded and said, "But the number is still too small and cannot represent the general public opinion of Quel'Thalas. I will give you a task to investigate the people of Quel'Thalas.
Views on this matter, and humankind’s views on this matter.”
Sylvanas suddenly sneered: "Maybe we think we don't owe humans anything, but humans think we owe them a debt that will never be repaid."
"Humans think we owe them?" Lor'themar asked in surprise.
I thought this is impossible! If this is true, humans are too greedy. After all, they should have known about the threat of trolls that time, not just for Quel'Thalas. Quel'Thalas should have collapsed.
It's their turn.
"Then why don't we go investigate now?" Sylvanas smiled.
"What do humans think is important to us?" Lor'themar asked.
"It's better to know than not to know." Sylvanas said: "What if the old stubborns in Silvermoon City have the same idea as you and decide things in a muddle. Once there is a war and the agreement needs to be fulfilled,
, we might suffer a loss."
"Is there going to be another large-scale war?" Lor'themar frowned.
A war that would allow elves and humans to form an alliance would undoubtedly be a huge war, and it might even be a war of annihilation. However, nothing big happened recently! Could it be the trolls in Zul'Aman? He thought about it carefully.
Sylvanas discovered that she was definitely not talking about the trolls in Zul'Aman, but the humans.
"Maybe, I'm not sure. But preparation is still necessary," Sylvanas said: "At least I want to let the old guys in Silvermoon City know that humans are not that reliable."
"Okay, I'll do it later!" Lor'themar agreed after thinking for a moment.
"I heard that the king of the human kingdom of Lordaeron, His Majesty Terenas, doesn't seem to have a child yet!" Sylvanas said seemingly casually.
"I'm not sure about this," Lor'themar said: "It seems that I just married the queen last year. According to human fertility, it is estimated that it will only take these two years to have children. Admiral Daelin Prodmoore also
I got married last year, and I invited a lot of people to watch the ceremony, which was very grand."
"A moment of silence for our King," Sylvanas said: "If they really give birth to a child, then our King will have to give two generous gifts."
Lor'themar laughed and said, "That's right."
"Do you want to take the opportunity to go there to play? You can also take the opportunity to investigate. Don't keep asking ordinary people. The opinions of nobles among humans can better reflect the authenticity of this matter. Just investigate secretly, don't
Someone might notice it and give you a wrong answer. There are not many good opportunities like this."
"Then I'd like to thank you, sir. I haven't had a long vacation in a long time." Lor'themar said happily.
"You can first investigate our people in Silver Moon City and pay attention to the news in this regard. I will handle the next thing. I believe that our Wind Chaser family still has the ability to put you in the envoy.
." Sylvanas said.
"I really hope those two guys work harder and give birth to the child as soon as possible." Lor'themar said with a smile.
Sylvanas smiled and continued: "What do you think of our shipbuilding capabilities in Quel'Thalas?"
"Shipbuilding? Not good, not bad!" Lor'themar said.
In fact, Quel'Thalas' shipbuilding technology is pretty good, even more advanced than humans in terms of power. Because Quel'Thalas is driven by magic energy, while the warships of human countries are mainly driven by sails. Who's that?
Quel'Thalas has an inexhaustible source of magic, where's the Sunwell?
However, the shipbuilding industry in Quel'Thalas is not very big. This is mainly because the population of Quel'Thalas is too small and cannot keep up with the number of humans. It may also be because Quel'Thalas does not pay much attention to the development of the navy.
Well, after all, the main enemies of Quel'Thalas are the trolls in Zul'Aman, and the navy is of little use.
"So how many gold coins and how much time does it take to build a large warship?" Sylvanas asked.
"That's quite a lot," Lor'themar said: "I don't know the exact amount, but it is definitely enough to arm and train four or five ranger troops, maybe more. In terms of time, it is estimated that it will take half a year to complete the construction, if not a year.
Bar."
"Will it require so many gold coins? Will it take so long to build?" Sylvanas was surprised.
She has always led ranger troops and doesn't know much about the navy. Because the navy in Quel'Thalas is too small, with only three 600-man troops, it is not even comparable to the smallest Marine Auxiliary Corps.
It can be said that he is an invisible character in the high elf army, so he is too unnoticeable.
They are only responsible for taking turns to pick up and drop off the troops guarding Rikui Island, and even the warships do not even have too many bed slaves installed. Because Rikui Island is not very far from the mainland, the Dragon Eagle flying force is fully capable of guarding the route.
The Silver Moon Council believes that there is no need to spend too much money there. After all, the navy is a famous spender. If you want to build a huge navy, the stack of gold coins will be like a mountain.
"Of course! I'm going to keep it low," Lor'themar said with certainty, "I have people I know in Sunsail Port. I can't say the specifics, but I generally know them."
"Are human warships so expensive?" Sylvanas asked: "I remember they have quite a fleet."
"Human warships are more expensive." Lor'themar said: "Human warships are smaller than ours, but their warships have three floors and are equipped with dozens of cannons, so they are at least twice as expensive as our warships.
Above, and even more.”
"Such a big difference?" Sylvanas was a little in disbelief.
"Because their warships are mainly used for combat, while our warships are mainly used for transportation. Their functions are different. Even though our ships are larger and longer than others, they are really no match for others in a fight. If it weren't for us
If all the warships are driven by magic energy, the price comparison will be even worse," Lor'themar said.
In fact, it's not that Quel'Thalas can't build those powerful battleships, but that Quel'Thalas doesn't need to build them. The elves don't go on conquests like humans, they just guard Quel'Thalas, and Quel'Thalas
There is a magic shield covering the entire kingdom, and there are Dragonhawk air troops, so Silvermoon City will not spend a lot of money to build it. What's more, the main enemies of the high elves are the trolls in Zul'Aman, and the battleships are of no use at all.
"If you have time, collect some information about ships and give it to me. I would like to learn some knowledge in this area." Sylvanas said.
But he secretly decided in his heart that if the war broke out as he said, and humans asked Quel'Thalas to send troops through an agreement, he must become a negotiator and get back a few battleships. He must also find a way to bring down the Yulin Blood Eagle.
Get into the group.
However, he is only a small squadron leader and a baron now, and his status is too low. It may not be easy to handle then, and we have to find a way to let him achieve more military merits! It is difficult to mention the title, but with military merits, the position will be
It shouldn't be difficult to mention.
It's just that he is obviously uncooperative now, so it's not easy to deal with. Humph, a little person, if he hadn't said those things, I would have really thought of him as a little person. But why did he tell me? He is stronger and more powerful than me.
There are so many people, why did he only tell me? This is a question that Sylvanas can't figure out.
Lor'themar saw that Sylvanas was deep in thought again. He wanted to remind her out loud, but gave up after thinking about it. Just as he was about to go out, Sylvanas spoke up again.
"Lor'themar, you should start investigating this matter first. I'll treat it as a long vacation for you," Sylvanas said: "The humans will wait for the opportunity and finish the domestic part first. Write a letter
Detailed report, how long do you think it will take?”
"It depends on how long the commander is willing to give me, but at least a week!" Lor'themar said. He has not had a holiday for a long time.
"I'll give you a month!" Sylvanas said.
"One month!" Lor'themar asked in surprise. But he was thinking, when did Sylvanas become so generous?
"Why is it too much? I can reduce it!" Sylvanas said.
"Not much! Not much!" Lor'themar nodded hurriedly and went out, joking, who would think that the vacation is too much?
