Patrick can't change the population growth rate, the hedonism of the High Elves has been prevalent for thousands of years, and having children is basically not within the consideration of ordinary High Elves. Ｘ

Now that the third war is about to begin, Patrick has secretly formulated a new set of management methods for the floating city, as the lord of the floating city, there is also an administrative body --- the decision-making council, Patrick did not sell the land property rights of the floating city when the floating city was built, but all the infrastructure was built at his own expense, and then the public officials were responsible for the management and operation, and all the property rights were in the hands of the decision-making council.

Patrick watched the Temple of the Sun grow step by step into the Floating City today, a young sapling slowly turned into a towering tree, and produced a lot of fruit, now is the time to share it with his descendants.

At first, Patrick thought about many operating systems, but they were not ideal, playing with capital, there were many limitations, and it would also cause various administrative and development instability, but in the end, Patrick decided to take over the main property rights of the entire floating city to the decision-making council.

Although many elves are resistant, this is within Patrick's expectations, if the rise and formation of capital power is allowed to take shape, when their sphere of influence exceeds Patrick's control, they will inevitably come to challenge the power of the supreme ruler.

For example, King Anastarian, although it is said that there is a council that dominates the administrative, judicial, and legislative affairs of the whole Quel'Salas, but the main industry and core energy of the entire Quel'Salas are still in the hands of the royal family, and these points are the principles that the Sunseeker family will never compromise.

In the daily life of Quel'Thalas, Anastarian Sunstrider has also been maintaining the balance between the various factions of the council, so the successive High Elf kings have always kept the various parties in the council in check and balance, and no one can challenge the actual power of the Sunstrider family.

If the council is a monopoly and the other families are vassals, then in the end, it will inevitably threaten the rule of the Sunstrider family, and Anastarian will never wait for this to happen, which is why Patrick has repeatedly rejected King Anastarian's proposal to let him return to Silvermoon City to develop.

Because when the entire Silver Moon Council is integrated into a party, he will definitely challenge the power of the Sunstriders, even if Patrick doesn't do anything out of the ordinary and doesn't suppress the entire Cabolon family, it is estimated that the people of the Sunstrider family will not sleep well.

If he returns to Silvermoon City to develop, with Patrick's current strength, all factions in the council will definitely hold back, although they are respectful on the surface, but in their hearts they are scheming about the entire Cabolon family, and when Anastarian finds that Patrick's power and prestige are too high, it is time for the Cabolon family to be enemies of the entire Quel'Thalas.

Although the government of the Kingdom of Quel'Salas is a constitutional monarchy, in fact, the parliamentarian faction and the royal power each hold half of the actual control of the High Elf Kingdom, as the actual controller behind the scenes, it is absolutely unwilling to see a one-person led Silver Moon Council gain the upper hand in the originally dynamic equilibrium political circle and have an impact on the royal power.

Placing all property rights in the hands of the decision-making council is also an important measure to ensure the rapid development of the city, with the aim of ensuring that an important principle ---- core assets are adhered to.

Aurelia, who had been beside her, asked, "What are we going to do next?" ”

"Tell Yanida to convene all the members of the decision-making council and come to the council hall to deliberate, and in the meantime, I will announce several new decrees."

……

Arthas and Gianna went to the province of Daronmir where the plague broke out to investigate, and after a short time, the two young boys and girls who had never cut off their love threads traveled together again, perhaps because of the outbreak of the plague, Arthas and Gianna met again, this time Gianna saw that Alsace's face was less childish and more heroic.

Arthas personally fought with the orcs, and the war made the prince in the greenhouse fade away from the innocence and immaturity of his youth, and now Arthas has attracted Gianna's attention even more, but the wound from the last time is still there, so that Gianna has always been a little tepid towards Arthas.

After entering the province of Daronmere, Alsace and Gianna saw the surrounding farms, and the existence of farms meant that there were once inhabitants here, but judging from the scale of these farms, they were only scattered individual households, not cities that formed settlements.

"Something doesn't seem right around here." Gianna probed her surroundings, but the mage's mental power did not perceive the presence of people around it: "It seems to be too quiet here. ”

Gianna wanted to go to the farmhouse inside to check if there was a farmer inside, but Arthas wanted Gianna to stay where he was and wait for him, which inevitably annoyed Gianna.

Gianna frowned, "Arthas, I, like you, was sent to investigate the plague, not a princess who came here for an outing. ”

Arthas also knew that he couldn't resist Gianna, so he just acquiesced to Gianna getting off the horse and going into the farmhouse to investigate.

The closer I got to the farmhouse, a terrible stench came to my face, and all the soldiers wanted to vomit, not the smell of fresh flesh and blood, but the smell of corpses, and the soldiers around were all veterans of the Orc and Alliance wars, and the smell of rotting corpses was familiar.

"It seems that the situation is more dire than I thought." The smell of corpses was coming, and Arthas already knew what was going on here.

Before Arthas and Gianna could enter the farmhouse, a few residents suddenly slowly emerged from the farmhouse, but, judging by the appearance, he should have died.

The ragged clothes, the black, stinking corpse water dripping from the top and bottom, the carrion covered with the green plague had cracked from the body, and Arthas could even see the bones and the wriggling corpse worms inside.

The zombie, smelling the scent of the living, dragged his slow pace towards the people of Arthas, his rotting face full of longing for the flesh and blood of the living.

Arthas immediately raised his hammer and slammed it into the zombie's head, and the holy light filled the entire hammer, smashing into the brain of a zombie, and the zombie fell to the ground.

And Gianna sent out a few flames, instantly igniting the zombies that pounced, but these living dead were not afraid of pain at all, even if their bodies were surrounded by flames,
