November is called the moon of cold wind in human calendar. It means the month when the cold wind blows. Except for Stormwind City in the south, most of the areas occupied by humans in the north begin to cool down on a large scale.

It was already snowing in the north of Lordaeron, and the Altlan Mountains in the Hillsbrad Hills blocked most of the cold tide and would not snow all year round, but it also began to turn cold at this time.

In the slightly blowing cold wind, Alex Barov walked side by side with Orento, smiling gently, his speed was neither too fast nor too slow, and his fair face was as reserved as a nobleman.

Barov's heir didn't expect that the mage, who was so much younger than him, was so calm. He obviously needed support.

However, Alex thought again: If he is impatient and aggressive, he will not be a mage and will not have the current achievements.

Alex Barov is actually very calm. He has good education and his family is very strong. He will not be too guilty when encountering human kings.

But Orendo left Dalaran and established the Seifrosa School of Magic and Mages by himself, which was regarded as a good opportunity by the Barov family.

The Barov family is getting stronger and stronger, and the influence is getting stronger. Every king of Ultralist is getting more and more afraid of them. The family is getting stronger and stronger, and the pressure on the family is getting stronger.

Except for Stormwind City being too far away, there is no conflict of interest. The human kingdom in the north, including Dalaran, has one, and is a suppressive and hostile attitude towards Barov.

After thousands of years of development, the north can no longer accommodate a new kingdom. Barov is qualified to be a king, but the kings do not want to lose their crown.

Barov cannot make mistakes. Once there is a mistake, he will definitely be thrown into the abyss that will never be restored by the kings.

Barov needs allies, friends who can support them so that they can withstand the pressure of the kingdom.

Alex Barov sighed deeply.

It’s not that Orendo needs Barov, it’s that Barov needs Sefrosa.

The Duke Heir whispered: "Before coming here, I participated in a dance party organized by Count Tarenmil. At the dance party, many nobles in the hilly areas had some misunderstandings about Sefrosa and you."

Orendo glanced at him.

One of the reasons why he doesn't like politics and doesn't like these old nobles is here: he always speaks very tactfully and will not finish it at once.

"What kind of misunderstandings are there? Earl of Tarenmill is also the recommender for me to study in Dalaran." Orento remained silent.

"You cancel the territorial head tax and lord tax, which is your kindness and fraternity. But the lords think that you will embarrass them by doing so," said Alex Barov.

The capitation tax in each territory is one of the main taxes for the lords. If you collect taxes on capitation, you have to pay a lot of money a year. Depending on the different lords in different territories, the amount of money you have to pay is different.

Like the former Sefrosa Territory, the annual capitation tax was that every resident of the territory would have to pay ten Lordaeron silver coins or equal amounts of food to the lord for free every year.

This is a very small number of people taxes, and because of this, the Sefrosa family became the most benevolent nobles nearby.

The lord tax means that no matter what the residents in the territory do, they have to give the lord some money. For example, if a farmer builds a roof for his own home, he has to give the lord some money. If the livestock raised by the farmers are sold or eaten, he has to give the lord some money...

Relying on these two taxes and the stricter food tax, the lords and nobles firmly restrained human farmers in the land.

Orento, who exempted the capitol tax and lord tax, will naturally attract the attention of the nobles.

If he hadn't been a wizard, his territory would have been in a place that was deeply influenced by Dalaran, such as Hillsbrad Hills, and the lords would have taken action long ago.

"I don't care about this. You know." Orendo said softly to Barov's heir. "If they want to do anything, they can give it a try. Arcane and magic will let them know the consequences of doing that."

With the power of Emperor Soladin, the human kingdom has been very restrained in civil wars for more than three thousand years, and there were almost no large-scale civil wars, and at most some partial conflicts.

The same is true for human aristocracy. The aristocracy had conflicts and would not say that they would kill them like the Middle Ages in Europe.

Often, they are always old and never interact with each other. If they are two nobles who are adjacent to each other, they will also make small moves on the adjacent edge - such as kidnapping and plundering the other's leaders, destroying the other's arable land.

If it is more serious, it will rise to complaining to the king or complaining to the great nobles nearby, which will attract the king and great nobles to "preserve justice" and will eventually end up in nothing.

When Orento did this, the nobles around him with similar status were at most talkative. Only the king and the great nobles above the duke were qualified to hold him accountable.

He also has the identity of Dalaran's mage, and Dalaran's reputation as a waist - Dalaran does not charge a capitation tax or lord tax!

The dissatisfaction of the nearby nobles was that they farted, they were a little smelly, and that was it.

Do they really dare to come and attack Orento's territory?

The Elemental Legion will teach them how to be a country noble.

"Oh." Orendo's attitude was indifferent. Alex Barov couldn't use this reason to give Barov some more benefits. He really couldn't think of any good reasons, so he simply went straight to the point: "The Barov family wants to fund you! If you are willing to build the school in Barov's territory, all the expenses and supplies Barov will be included!"

Orento smiled dismissively.

"The Storm Kingdom in the South, they said this to me, and I didn't agree."

Alex Barov was anxious.

"The Southerners have nothing! They can't even eat enough, and they are still worried about the gnolls in the forest! They can't compare to Barov. Barov can give you the same supplies and support as Dalaran now! Barov has such strength!"

The Barovs does have this kind of strength.

Not counting Dalaran's magic power, the Barov family is richer than Dalaran, vaster than Dalaran, and more influential than Dalaran.

"We can cooperate." Orendo suddenly spoke. "I am willing to accept Barov's funding, but there are prerequisites... Barov cannot affect my teaching. My feedback is that I can train mages for Barov and do not discriminate against you like Dalaran."

Alex Barov gritted his teeth.

"Can!"

It’s enough to have an intention. They don’t need to discuss the specific amount of money. All of them are handed over to the people below. This is the example of aristocratic.

————

Orendo still believes in Barov's strength in this regard. In the "original plot", Barov, who was beaten by several human kingdoms, can support Kel'thuzad to build a psychic academy.

In his heyday, if Barov was willing to support himself, he would at least not have to worry about materials and funds.

This is cooperation in interests.
