Throughout the night, Angmar learned about the royal etiquette of Stormwind Kingdom with the help of the etiquette officer.

Due to its latest establishment and remote location, this human country, which originated from the ancient Kingdom of Arathor, has been excluded from the mainstream world for thousands of years and has not had close interactions with the other six countries. This has led to the development of a relatively

The very different customs and cultures, and the vastly different royal etiquette in Lordaeron are one of them.

In ordinary people's perception, the north of the Sador Strait where the Arathi Highlands and the wetlands meet is the mainstream world of mankind, because Stromgard, Lordaeron, Dalaran, Alterac, and Gilneas

Everyone in Kul Tiras is gathered around here.

As for the Kingdom of Storm in the far south, it is a frontier place that only exists in imagination. Whenever it is mentioned, the only things that come to people's minds are the hot and humid tropical jungles, annoying mosquitoes and flies, and the dangers lurking in the dense forests.

beast...

Holy light, how can people live in a place like that?

In fact, the environment of the Kingdom of Stormwind is not as harsh as people think. Not only is the climate more pleasant than in the north, the population is comparable to the most powerful Kingdom of Lordaeron, but it is also rich in water and grass, and has endless fertile fields. Within the scope of the seven human kingdoms, there are no

There is no place more livable than the singing and singing Elwynn Forest.

The misunderstanding arises because very few people have been to the Kingdom of Stormwind. There are thousands of mountains and rivers separating the south and the north. Taking the land route requires passing through crocodile-filled and dangerous wetlands, passing through the alpine Kazmo.

Dan, if he didn't freeze to death, he would have to walk for several more months in the unknown Redridge Mountains before he could reach the border of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Any area along the way is enough to make the average person die several times.

The land route is almost impassable, and the only way to get to the Kingdom of Stormwind is by sea. But apart from adventurers, how many ordinary people are willing to go to the rumored backcountry to suffer? This leads to pitiful little real information being transmitted back, and it is difficult to change people's minds.

misperception.

This situation did not change until the beginning of the second war.

The orcs destroyed the Kingdom of Stormwind and sent the entire country to seek refuge in the north. This united the seven human kingdoms together for an unprecedented time, greatly promoting exchanges between the Kingdom of Stormwind and the other six kingdoms, from culture to population, to trade and cooperation.

And enough.

After the war, a small-scale population migration occurred in the seven human countries.

The root cause is that the top leaders of the alliance did not execute the orc captives who had caused great suffering to the people, but instead imprisoned them in shelters.

First of all, this caused a certain amount of panic to the civilians. Even if the Lordaeron authorities repeatedly stated the safety of the containment measures, people did not want to live near the shelter - who knows whether these beasts will escape from prison? Then launch another

A war that could destroy humanity?

Secondly, due to the large number of requirements for the operation of shelters, coupled with the fact that countries have exhausted supplies during the war, are heavily in debt, and have a lot of waste, the tax rate has been greatly increased compared to before the war.

Life became difficult.

The combination of these two reasons led to a large number of civilians choosing to move south to the Kingdom of Stormwind, which was being rebuilt, and start a new life.

This kind of population migration reached its peak in the 18th year of the Black Gate calendar, when Thrall gathered the power of the Frostwolf clan and the Warsong clan to liberate the orc compatriots in the shelter.

This two-year war caused great panic, and everyone in the north was in danger. Although the war only involved the line from Hillsbrad Hills to Arathi Highlands, people had long been frightened by the orcs.

, prompted by the pessimistic expectations of war, within two years, hundreds of thousands of civilians boarded ships heading south and moved their families to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Facts have proved that these people made the right choice. As soon as the orcs escaped from prison and crossed west, natural disasters struck. The plague swept across the entire north, leaving every room empty and the population drastically reduced.

During this year, whether it was the survivors of Lordaeron or the unprotected Kingdom of Gilneas before the Greymane Wall was built, a large number of civilians fled to the south in order to avoid this annihilation.

disaster.

Although there are no specific statistics on the two population migrations, they probably numbered in the millions.

Most of the civilians who fled were young people. The elderly were unwilling to leave and could not bear the hardships of the months-long voyage. From a certain point of view, it was the influx of these young and strong laborers that gave Stormwind Kingdom

Injected fresh blood.

Thanks to the demographic dividend, the Kingdom of Stormwind will finally develop in the next few years and move to the forefront of Azeroth, becoming the well-deserved leader of the human world and the New Alliance.

There are three things Angmar needs to do on this trip.

The first is to continue the previous good relationship and create a mutually beneficial and friendly environment for Quel'Thalas and the Kingdom of Stormwind. The Kingdom's Minister of Finance hopes that Prince Kael'thas can exempt all trade ships from the Kingdom of Stormwind from the port tax.

, this move can encourage more merchants to come to Quel'Thalas and bring urgently needed supplies to the blood elves who are undergoing reconstruction.

Of course, it would be better if the other party could also come up with corresponding preferential tax rates. However, these things are not what Angmar, a layman, needs to worry about, because there are a large number of financial professionals in the entourage.

The second point and the third point have the same goal. On the one hand, they are trying to win over the Kingdom of Stormwind to join the coalition of tribes. On the other hand, they are persuading the Kingdom of Stormwind to play its due role in the Northern Expedition in the near future.

it's time.

But there was a black dragon standing in front of me. Onyxia, the black dragon princess who transformed into Countess Katrana Presto and controlled the politics of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

By the way, there is another mission in Angmar.

During the mission, contact the two magisters and their men who went to Dusk Forest earlier to find the reclusive Merry Winterwind.

…

The next day, an envoy consisting of the deputy to the Kingdom's Finance Minister, the Sunstrider Royal Ceremony Officer, and dozens of senior Sunfury Army officer guards waited respectfully at Angmar's palace in the Royal Court area.

Outside residence.

"let's start."

After walking out of the heavily guarded courtyard, Angmar put on the robe passed down from the former Grand Mage, while waving his hands and saying to the waiting mages.

When the mages opened the portal, the Royal Ceremony Officer whispered dissatisfiedly in his ear: "Grand Magister, you should tidy up your appearance in the room! This is a very rude move!"

"Okay, I won't do it next time," Angmar nodded, then opened his arms and gestured to the ceremonial officer, "Do me a favor, belt."

The etiquette officer walked up behind him with a dark face, took out the belt that was hanging crookedly from the belt buckle, and handed it to his hand.

Snap...

Gem embellishments, the enchanted locks are closed, and Angmar smiles in thanks.

"Thanks."

"Oh...you're welcome, Grand Mage." The etiquette officer sighed.

"Has Archbishop Benedictus arrived?" Angmar took out his pocket watch and looked around.

With the efforts of Dalaran and the mages of Quel'Thalas, Archbishop Faol's "freezing plan" has been completed. According to the agreement, yesterday evening, Archbishop Benedictus and the priests of the church would bring the magic

Ao and Princess Calia came to Silvermoon City and arrived here early this morning, heading to Stormwind City with the blood elf envoys.

Angmar is on an envoy, and they will return to North County in order to properly treat the two seriously injured people.

Not long after he finished speaking, a figure of Benedictus appeared at a corner in the direction of the palace. Behind him were a group of priests in plain clothes, including members of the Silver Hand. The two carriages were floating in the air, which could avoid them.

The carriage, which was affected by the jolting of the wounded, was also among the crowd.

"Sorry, I just went to say goodbye to His Royal Highness, the noble prince." Benedictus stepped forward enthusiastically and held Angmar's right hand. "I have been busy treating the teacher. I haven't had the chance to come here this time.

Get to know you well. You are indeed as young and successful as the rumors say, Angmar Morningstar. Although it is a little too late, I must thank you for your previous righteous deeds. This kind of kindness is really difficult for the Holy Light Church to repay.

"

He was referring to the fact that not long ago, Angmar found Faol and helped him escape from the control of the Lich King.

Looking at the Archbishop's face filled with joy, Angmar nodded humbly and said:
Chapter completed!
