Chapter 1364 Alliance Application
ah! Dear Onyxia, although I would like to play the dragon training game with you when I have time, the king’s orders cannot be violated!
Have a good journey, dear...
Duke waved heartlessly goodbye, causing Onyxia to collapse.
Asking directly in the soul connection, the tearful voice can make even the most hard-hearted person heartbroken.
"Master - my dear master! Are you really so heartless? After I became your mount, I have never rebelled. I have done my best to complete the tasks you assigned me every time. For so long, I have no credit. It’s all hard work! Are you really willing to let me go to that hellish place with no gold coins, no treasures, nothing but broken stones and endless demons to kill? Do you think I’m just a thug and a toy? Is it a plaything that you throw away when you get tired of it?"
While Onyxia struggled, she revealed the Dragon Nest intentionally or unintentionally.
Duke swallowed his saliva and said slowly in the soul connection: "When you come back, you will see a dragon bed made of pure gold in Karazhan, specially for you to sleep on."
When Onyxia heard this, her eyes suddenly turned into two golden coins: "Really? You didn't lie to me? I don't want a human-sized gadget. I want something that I can sleep on in my dragon form."
"This is your master's promise." Duke Hao said angrily.
Onyxia bit her red lips and said, "Okay, if you really do it, after you come back, I'm willing to add one more item to the dragon training list, and it's up to you to decide."
"It's a deal."
"make a deal."
Alexstrasza naturally had no way of knowing the soul communication between this pair of somewhat crooked masters and servants, let alone what kind of dirty deal they had reached. All she knew was that this evil little female dragon, who had no interest in guardianship or Wyrmrest Temple, suddenly glowed, gave up struggling, and became willing to sacrifice her life.
Well, that's a good thing anyway.
She glanced at Duke, who gave her an OK gesture.
Blinking, the Red Dragon Queen was still a little worried: "Didn't you pay some kind of bad price?"
"No, no, no, Onyxia is my most loyal mount. I deserve a little reward. Besides, it won't hinder me."
"That's good."
Alexstrasza will never know how shameless a time traveler can be.
Golden dragon bed?
Duke would not do something so arrogant and hurtful, something that could be called a bomb.
But Duke is planning to open a bank!
That's right!
After Duke concentrated on farming for 22 years, the alliance's supplies have reached a point of great abundance. The resulting economic problems have also increased, and the biggest problem is currency transactions.
In the past, even before the Alliance was established, all countries used Arathor gold coins as a unified transaction currency.
Gold letters are very expensive, and everyone agrees that they are valuable.
Looks fine.
In the past, buying a top-notch war horse only cost a few gold coins.
Now that the Alliance is playing with high technology, when large-scale military products such as steam tanks are released, the cost can easily reach several thousand gold coins, or even tens of thousands, or millions of gold coins. Such an astonishing cost is all traded with gold coins. It is simply unthinkable. die.
The alliance has begun to use golden tickets to replace the role of gold coins, but the businessmen do not agree.
Duke had decided to issue paper money.
To give banknotes value, in addition to requiring the most formidable anti-counterfeiting measures, there must also be sufficient collateral. As a time traveler, the easiest thing to think of is the ‘gold standard’ with gold as its core. In the early American economic system before time travel, basically as much paper money could be issued as there was gold.
Therefore, the key to issuing banknotes must be that there is enough gold in the alliance.
This gold cannot be touched.
Duke will send people to guard it until Onyxia returns.
How about using it as a bed for her to sleep on when she comes back? It can also be said that the alliance specially found a demigod dragon to serve as the guardian of the gold.
Duke isn't worried about Onyxia's corruption at all.
Giant dragons have a serious collecting habit. They hide all valuable treasures in their lairs and refuse to give them to anyone. Otherwise, throughout the ages, why have so many warriors slain dragons?
It’s very simple, make a fortune!
The gold bars were collateral anyway, and Duke wouldn't cash them out. It doesn't matter at all.
What's more, Duke never said "I'll give you all the gold" from the beginning to the end!
As for the anti-counterfeiting and exchange of banknotes, it is even simpler.
Duke, as the demigod of the Magic Network, possesses the most profound magic in the world. He can completely design barcodes on banknotes. As long as a simple banknote detector is placed where the magic net touches any banknote, the authenticity can be immediately identified.
Anyone who dares to counterfeit will be immediately fed back by the Magic Network.
Duke would definitely not mind having his elemental messenger suddenly jump out of the magic network and teach those guys who are counterfeiting money a lesson.
In Duke's vision, as long as he has enough elementalists, he can definitely cope with these situations.
Uh-huh! The plan goes through!
After sending away the four Aspect Dragons, Tyrande walked over and whispered: "The goddess Elune asked me to tell you that when you are done, you can go to the Temple of the Moon as a guest. But this matter is not urgent."
"Um."
The things of the gods are returned to the gods, and the things of the mortals are returned to the mortals.
After sending away those super-high-status guys, Thrall was finally able to come over. He brought Vol'jin, Magni and Varian with him.
"Are you satisfied with the loot this time?" Duke asked Sal with a smile.
Thrall grinned and showed his long fangs: "Huhu, I finally don't have to listen to those guys below complaining that the Alliance heroes have much better equipment than the Horde heroes." A heaven-defying victory, plus generous bonuses The loot can eliminate many conflicts without a trace.
Even Sun King Anastrian, who has lost the most men, now has the [Dark Storm Gauntlets] in his hands, wears the [Cloak of Clarity], and has the [Embrace of the Ancient God] tied around his waist. These alliance strongmen To him, the equipment produced by C'Thun, which he disdained, was like a shotgun for a cannon.
Even if someone shows mercy, the Sun King will not show any dissatisfaction with Thrall at this time.
Magni spoke: "While you were busy just now, Thrall and Vol'jin proposed to us that they hope that the tribe and the alliance would sign a closer cooperation agreement. If possible, it would be better to sign it in the form of an alliance."
After Magni finished speaking, Thrall and Vol'jin's uneasy expressions said it all.
At this time, the Alliance and the Horde were not equal in strength. To a certain extent, this is an alliance application that is not based on strength but purely on emotion.
A majestic lion would never try an antelope as his ally.
No sane leader would agree under such circumstances.
Unexpectedly, Duke nodded: "It's not a big problem. Let the people below discuss the specific details."
