I am a blood elf warrior

The boat sailed unsteadily into the port. Wen Lei and I followed the diplomatic envoy Mr. Grant to the Sunsail Port in Quel'Thalas yesterday evening, boarded the human ship, and arrived at my trip after a night of wandering. The destination - the Kingdom of Arathor, the Kingdom of Arathor is a country established by the union of many human tribes.We disembarked from the royal ship of Arathor Kingdom, and went to Stromgarde, the capital of the kingdom, according to human arrangements.

Two hours later, we rode into Stromgarde with the church bells ringing.The human messenger told us that His Majesty King Thoradin will meet us at noon. Seeing that there is still some time, I asked Grant to take Wen Lei to visit the city of Lordaeron. He asked me to go to the embassy in advance to prepare. Then I let the two of us go to play, we parted ways at the gate of the city, and I rejected the translator that humans wanted to send to follow.

The tiredness on Wen Lei's face could not conceal her joy. In her opinion, everything about human beings is different from Silvermoon City.When we first arrived at the pier, looking at the horses that humans prepared for us was a headache. Wen Lei was very excited to see the strange creatures and wanted to try to tame them, but I understood that everything about humans is Unlike Silvermoon City, it is full of obvious hostility.In the incomprehension of all the high elves accompanying me, I protested to the human ambassadors that we would not be equipped with harnesses. They were surprised because they saw that a pure high elf could understand the common language, and they could see their deliberate intentions. Of.Although we have never ridden a horse, but with the experience of riding a chocobo and a complete harness, we can barely control it.

We returned the horse to the ambassador and started our tour.I also noticed one thing, everyone has a sense of superiority, just like those who play Warcraft look down on those who play Dota, those who play Dota look down on those who play League of Legends, and those who play League of Legends look down on those who play Three Hundred Heroes, superior Feelings are ubiquitous, and I, who have recognized my identity as a high elf, have also begun to develop a sense of superiority in front of humans, which is displayed as an arrogance that is annoying to others.In Stromgarde, most of the vendors will look at us, because our pointed long ears are different from them, they are short-lived, but we are different, the long-lived species said to the short-lived species: "May you live a long life ", this is a blessing in the eyes of the short-lived species, but the long-lived species may be contemptuous and despised in their hearts.

Going shopping with Wen Lei, picking up items from vendors all over the street, I explained and translated to Wen Lei, and asked the vendors if I didn’t know something. Obviously, hearing me speak the common language, all human beings will have a good impression of me.In the eyes of human beings, this is a kind of face and honor, just like ordinary Chinese being accosted by foreigners in Chinese in the early days of reform and opening up.Some vendors even give us what Wen Lei wants, but I usually don't take it for nothing.The reason is simple: the behavior of these people makes me feel superior, and I really enjoy it a little bit.And in order to enjoy this sense of superiority more, I will give them a gold coin.The goods in Lordaeron are actually very cheap to us, they are all priced in silver coins or even copper coins, while the goods in Silvermoon City are much more expensive.

In fact, I learned one thing from the human merchants: the magic items, enchanting scrolls, and jewelry artworks exported by Silvermoon City to the entire human world are simply priceless. Humans who have not yet learned magic can only import from us. Silvermoon City is like Saudi Arabia, and it is still a world without oil in other places, but most of what we import from the human world are cheap vegetables, fruits, and some alcoholic beverages that are barely considered luxuries.Therefore, in the envy and hatred of human beings, the Sunstrider Dynasty can get a lot of money just from tariffs, and Silvermoon City is absorbing a large amount of wealth from the human kingdom, which is specifically manifested in the influx of precious metals such as gold and silver.Moreover, there is no Bretton Woods system and different banknotes in different countries in this world, and gold is a commonly used hard currency.If it weren't for the strong defense of Silvermoon City, I think the money-greedy dragon has already attacked the city.For example, my salary is very high from the perspective of the human kingdom, especially in the war era when the army is prone to casualties. Lily can receive my salary from the Sunstrider Dynasty every month, and she will help me save money. stand up.

The human king is very worried about this. For His Majesty Thoradin, although the status of Stromgarde and his royal family he controls can take advantage of being a transit point for the trade between humans and high elves, the strength of other human nobles is getting stronger and stronger. Getting weaker makes him stronger.But after all, these profits are just a drop in the bucket of all profits. If he wants to get really huge benefits, he must break through the high elves' monopoly on magic, and this time the high elves and trolls have another large-scale war stage. Let him see By chance, he finally waited for the visit of the high elf messenger.The temptation at the pier made him understand that there are still some smart people among the high elves. The plan to dry the messengers for three days was quickly overturned and changed to an immediate meeting. He didn't want these high elves to seek help from other human nobles. What he wanted It is the royal family that monopolizes magic in the realm of men, as the high elves do now.

As for me, I talked about this with Grant last night. The Sunstrider Dynasty understands the current situation very well, and decided to open up the learning of magic to humans as a wish of humans. In fact, there was a discussion before and ended in disagreement. , Now that we have a conclusion, the important thing is how to open up.The conditions for the final decision of the mutual exchange of opinions are: agree to teach magic to all human kingdoms, in the form that the human kingdoms send overseas students to study in Silvermoon City.

Now that it is the general trend for human beings to learn magic, all human beings, regardless of high or low, come here!It is impossible for a human king or nobleman or businessman to achieve dominance.Using humans to contain humans, anyway, it will take a long time to catch up with the high elves' research on magic.As for whether King Thoradin will agree or not, it's a negotiation. Naturally, you ask for the price, and I will pay back the money on the spot.It’s just that we can’t wait too long. If we lose the army high elves on the battlefield now, we will lose the cost of negotiation directly, and it will become a real “man’s knife and I’m fish”, so we were in this negotiation from the very beginning. disadvantage.

The conversation last night allowed me to know the bottom line of the Sunstrider Dynasty, and it also allowed Grant to see my understanding.He is very happy with this fact, which also gives me a certain right to speak in the entire mission. I will serve as his translator and meet with the human king with him, and sign a covenant that is as beneficial as possible to the high elves.

At this moment, Wen Lei doesn't care about these things at all, and I don't want her to worry about them either.As for her, I just hope she gets a good vacation.Wen Lei suddenly found a wine merchant in front of her. She called me over and said to me happily, "We can buy some back. After the war is over, we will go to Yongge together with my sister and the others. Picnic in the forest, this time we can drink wine preparedly!"

Seeing Wen Lei's lovely smiling face, I could only smile and nod, and follow her in!I am secretly firm in my heart, this is what I want to protect, no one can take it away from me!
