Chapter 1846 Elemental Economy (Part 1) (First Update)
As the saying goes, a daughter is her father's lover in his previous life.
A good daughter is so considerate. Maybe when she was half-year-old, she even said, "I don't want to get married, I want to stay with my father all my life." It's sweet to think about it.
Damn it! ?
You yayo!
If you have a son, you will know what differential treatment is.
If you accidentally press a woman's hair, she will yell at you for a long time.
As soon as that fat boy was born, he snatched away your special dumplings. He tugged and bit them without any problem.
If you speak louder and make a noise, you will be punished with death; if you make a loud noise, you will be released without charge. What else can you say, "If you run away, there will be a man in the family in the future." ’
According to Queen Xi's character, if she says to chop you with a knife, the next moment she will definitely draw the knife without any nonsense... It is definitely a good thing that she is pregnant with a daughter!
In the future, she will be like the daughter of Alleria and Vereesa, inheriting her mother's beauty. For example, one look at Inelise and Atalanta and you can tell that they are beautiful embryos, and they will definitely be as good as their mother when they grow up...
Theoretically, the last names are different, but does this count as the three new Windrunner sisters?
Duke was a little troubled that evening.
In the past, when he caught Queen Xi acting mean, he would occasionally say, "You are so awesome, why don't you go to heaven?" Well, this time Queen Xi was already prepared, even her orz posture was ready. Just when Duke was about to swing his sword and mount his horse, he really flew away.
He just pressed his body against the top of the bedroom and refused to come down.
"What do you mean by flying above my head?" Duke was angry.
"I...I'm afraid!"
Queen Xi, who is fearless, still has such a time.
This time it was Duke's turn to be upset.
If Alleria and Veresa hadn't become traitors at the critical moment and flew up to the ceiling of the bedroom to capture Queen Xi, I don't know what the trouble would have been.
After struggling for half a night, I finally got rid of all the three Windrunner sisters.
Facing Queen Xi who was lying on her stomach pretending to be a corpse, Duke gave Queen Xi a hard slap on the butt: "I shouldn't have pampered you like this and made you the demigod of wind. Now it's my fault." ”
Queen Xi could no longer pretend, so she turned around and stood up: "Then what do you want? Take back my demigod status?"
"No, I just want to ask you what the end of your pursuit of power is."
Duke's question made Sylvanas stunned for a moment, and then she became a little discouraged: "I...I actually haven't thought about it. Well, I admit that I'm just unconvinced. If I think you can do it, I I can do it. I just want to prove to the world that I, Sylvanas Windrunner, can still be very powerful and live a wonderful life without you, Duke."
Queen Xi directly revealed her true feelings without any roundabout clichés.
At this time, Alleria got up and ticked her sister's nose: "You, you have to have a way of not admitting defeat. You still run to fight Al'Akir while you are pregnant with the child, and you dare to blame Duke when you turn around. Stuffing Gavin Ladd into you as insurance? There is no such ungrateful woman in the Windrunner family!"
Being trained like this by the eldest sister, Queen Xi knew that she had gone too far and lowered her head: "I'm sorry, eldest sister! I'm sorry! Duke..."
It was hoped that the queen would relent, and Duke would no longer be interested in teaching her a lesson.
"Yes, what about you, Duke? How far will your pursuit of power go?" Veresa asked as she emerged from the quilt, holding her head.
"If I can defeat the Burning Legion with my current strength, it doesn't matter if I don't strengthen myself anymore. I don't actually pursue power. I just want to protect the people and things I cherish. That's why I work so hard." Duke Telling the truth.
Duke talked a little bit about his mental journey to the three sisters.
At first it was just that I didn't want to be turned into a ghoul.
Precisely because you are afraid, you cherish it. In order to protect what you have, you work hard. The more you have, the more reluctant you are to give it up. Unknowingly, you will do more and better.
It sounds a bit ridiculous, but it's actually very simple.
This kind of ideas and practices that extend from the small self to the big self and even the whole world are easier for people to accept than those exaggerated principles and heroic ideas.
As time passed, the three sisters were shocked to find that their men had become a being that all mortals in the world of Azeroth would look up to.
"Okay, I promise you Duke, and I also promise the eldest sister and the third sister. After Neltharion is eliminated this time, I will give birth to the child, and then be my Sin'dorei Queen. I will no longer pursue that possibility. The power that led to my destruction. In fact, I don’t see any chance of promotion.”
Maybe the last sentence is the key to Queen Xi's words, so what? Hopefully the Queen will give up her attempt to die and challenge her limits, so Duke won't have to worry so much.
This time, don't look at the alliance's mighty power and pacify the three elemental realms in one fell swoop. In fact, the price paid by the alliance is not high at all.
At a high-end level, mastering the three elemental realms is a matter of blood. Duke expanded the magic network and announced that this time even the mana consumption of the frost element would be permanently reduced by half. Of course, he received unanimous cheers and praise from the master.
For the middle and lower levels of the alliance, the consumption is not big at all.
The aftermath of the catastrophe has not subsided at all.
That's right, withdrawing the rioting elemental creatures of water, fire, and wind only prevented the disaster from further expanding. However, the damage caused by the previous major earthquake has not yet been healed.
For example, large-scale flooding in wetlands, and the treatment of ground rifts in Elwynn Forest, Westfall, Stranglethorn Vale and other places...
We must first control the expansion of disasters, then provide disaster relief, and then resume production and construction.
Only when a new batch of food and products are produced can society be on the right track. Before that, to put it bluntly, we could only rely on existing resources.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three to five years to restore productivity to the level before the catastrophe. Especially food. No matter how much food was stored in the village before, if there was no new rice and wheat harvest, the people would still murmur in their hearts.
But no one can match Duke's imaginative thinking.
In the Ironforge factory, there are now many new members.
A dwarf blacksmith said in Common Tongue: "We need to quench this thing. It needs to be kept at that temperature for about five minutes. Before the piece of steel deforms and cracks, it is taken into water for rapid cooling, which is water quenching... uh, do you understand me?"
A fire demon next to him understood what he was saying. He turned around and spoke to an inverted triangle-shaped fire element behind him, and then started to work.
When the steel was heated and kept warm for the time, Naga standing next to him waved, and a water element came over and directly wrapped the piece of steel with his body.
"Zi——" Cooling is complete!
