Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 513: Generosity

The kings had mixed feelings.

Even though they knew that this was the only candidate who was pushed forward by Terenas to inherit the Kingdom of Alterac, many kings had an instinctive resistance and a preconceived bad impression of him just by hearing about it.

But as soon as Prestor stepped forward, everyone had a trance-like feeling that 'this man is someone who can be trusted by everyone under any circumstances, and is worthy of trust and respect.'

In the slightly confused atmosphere, several exclamations of praise were heard at random.

"I wish my Arthas had someone like him."

"If Tanred could be like him..."

"Varian still needs to improve!"

If it was Terenas, one could perhaps say that he was biased, but the fact that the praise came from the mouths of Kings Daelin and Llane, two kings who theoretically had different political views from Terenas, shows how charming this lord was.

Over there, Antonidas quietly injected arcane power into the blood vessels of his eyeballs. This was a very risky thing to do. If the arcane power got out of control, he would go blind on the spot.

An inexplicable uneasiness in his heart prompted him to do this.

Damn it!

It's useless.

In the vision transformed by arcane energy, the tall and majestic figure standing in the middle of the hall was like a huge black hole, sucking in all the light and heat.

It was as if it was going to suck in even the eyeballs that were infused with magic power.

No, it's not like that anymore.

The power from the mysterious realm was using supreme suction to suck the eyeballs of the Dalaran archmage out of his eye sockets.

Antonidas felt his consciousness begin to collapse...

"Snap!" With the last of his consciousness, Antonidas slapped his own old face.

The sound was so clear that it attracted the attention of all the kings and representatives.

"Uh, sorry, there's a mosquito!" Antonidas lowered his head hastily. He still felt that the mysterious lord was not good, but he had no evidence.

Should he say to all the kings in public, "Lord Prestor has a magical artifact on him that prevents me from spying on him. So could he please take the artifact away so that I can use arcane power to spy on his body."?

If he dares to do this, he must be crazy.

Who is Dhaval Presto?

He was the only man with royal blood from Alterac, and he was destined to inherit the Kingdom of Alterac. With just a few more formalities, he would sit on the vacant throne, on an equal footing with him and the other nine kings and representatives.

Antonidas decided to remain silent.

Terenas cleared his throat and spoke: "Lord Prestor, this is no longer the era of isolated free trade among countries. The invasion of the Horde was cruel and terrible, but it also led to the unity of the four major races that had never been seen in nearly three thousand years. As the leader of the Alliance of Lordaeron, I think as an elder, I hope you can introduce yourself to the kings and tell us how you think you will get along with the allied countries in the future."

After saying this, King Terenas stroked his bearded chin with satisfaction. He was looking forward to the debut of this lord who had never disappointed him.

In his eyes, Lord Prestor was perfect.

Prestor raised his head and stared into the air with his eyes as deep as the eternal night: "War... is cruel."

Just this one sentence, just this one opening remark full of masculine charm, caused a silent commotion among the kings.

"The Alliance has sacrificed too much for this terrible war. Fertile farmland was turned into scorched earth. Over a million farmers became soldiers and died on that great battlefield. Now, the war is over, but each of us, the member states of the Alliance, must unite to rebuild this continent, feed our people, and restore life to the land."

"I saw a report that made me sad. The population of Alterac is less than half of what it was before the war. However, just west of Alterac, the extremely fertile Silverpine Forest that originally belonged to Genniels and Lordaeron has been turned into scorched earth that cannot be cultivated for several years because of the weapons of the hell of fire."

When Prestor said this, Duke's eyebrows twitched.

Is this pot mine?

Prestor didn't notice it, or he noticed it but ignored Duke's reaction, and continued: "In the east, the few highlands of Arathi were burned by the dragon breath of the red dragon army that was affiliated with the Horde at the time."

In the throne room, Thoras Trollbane's facial muscles twitched in pain.

"It takes little imagination to foresee that if nothing is changed, hundreds of thousands of people will die of famine next year. What a sad thing this is!"

Lord Prestor's affectionate voice quickly infected all the kings. Even the few kings who had already known all this felt the same way.

"If I become the King of Alterac, in order to make up for the mistakes Alterac made in the war and to repair the relationship with the surrounding countries, I will choose to keep only the arable land near Strannblade, because this little arable land is enough to feed 60,000 Alterac people. Brill and Caer Darrow will be leased to Lordaeron, Hillsbrad Plains will be leased to Gilneas, Lordamere Plains will be leased to Dalaran, Tarren Mill and Southshore will be leased to Stromgarde. Each place is leased unconditionally for 20 years."

As soon as the words fell, the kings were in an uproar.

This is really generous! Although these lands originally belonged to the Barov family, and although he was also the king supported by Terenas, he was really willing to give them away! ?

Alleria chuckled and said to Duke through the voice of the wind: "Duke, why do I feel that he is more generous than you?"

"Haha!" Duke responded with a universal sentence.

Over there, the heads of state of the four countries were already moved.

Some of them were part of the deal, but some were added by Lord Prestor himself. Terenas had not originally planned to ask for Brill and Caer Darrow at this time, as it would be too embarrassing.

Everyone knows that the so-called lease... it is very easy to not return it. There are many such bad things in the history of Azeroth.

After a moment's silence, Terenas spoke.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Prestor. But it would be a bad idea to set a precedent like this. Please forgive Lordaeron for rejecting your kindness. But..." Terenas changed the subject and directed the topic to Thoras: "I think Stromgarde needs Alterac's selfless help more than any other member of the Alliance. If His Majesty Trollbane has no objection, then let's sign the lease contract first under the witness of the Alliance countries."
