"Don't buy?" Aaron heard that Antonidas actually said that Dalaran didn't want to buy it, and his heart skipped a beat. Dalaran was the best buyer in his plan. He didn't expect that Antonidas would directly refuse to buy it.
Aaron couldn't help but curse in his heart. This old guy didn't want to buy and kept talking to her for so long. Wasn't this a waste of emotion? But if Dalaran didn't buy it, Aaron would have to find a new seller.
To be honest, Aaron is not worried that the core of this structure cannot be sold. After all, as long as this thing is researched and understood, it can provide quite powerful combat effectiveness. Aaron will choose Dalaran as the first sales target entirely because Aaron feels that as a city of mages, the political environment of Dalaran is relatively simple, and other potential buyers are not so easy to deal with.
But it's hard to say whether Antonidas is another way of bargaining. Aaron often used this method to bargain before traveling.
Thinking of this, Aaron turned to look at Kael'thas: "Prince Kael'thas, I wonder if Quel'Thalas is interested in the goods in my hand?"
The meaning of Aaron is very obvious. If you don't want Dalaran, can't you sell it? I have many customers. If you want to bargain in this way, you have found the wrong person.
Antonidas was not in a hurry. He stroked his beard again and said, "Mr. Aaron, don't you want to hear my reasons?"
"You say, you say." Aaron responded nonchalantly. Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he just wanted to see what medicine Antonidas bought in the gourd.
"First of all, I want to explain that I am still very interested in the technology embodied in this core. Dalaran's manpower has always been tight, and the mages lack effective front-line protection methods. It will be very helpful for Dalaran to improve our current structure technology."
Antonidas's words confused Aaron. These are all the reasons why Dalaran wanted to buy it. So what did you mean when you said you didn't want to buy it? It seems that there must be a twist in what the old mage said.
As expected by Aaron, Antonidas continued to say unhurriedly, "But... I want to say but, Dalaran, as a city-state composed purely of mages, has been very feared by all countries. Every move we make has attracted the attention of all countries."
When Antonidas said this, Jaina and Kael'thas looked a little embarrassed. Needless to say, they were also the ones Dalaran received.
Aaron At this time, he was actually interested in what Antonidas wanted to say next. After the old mage had been talking for so long, he couldn't just want to say that Dalaran would stop studying magic in order not to be feared by other countries, right? Then Dalaran might as well just disband.
"So, I have an idea. I hope Mr. Aaron can go to Lordaeron with us. I would like to suggest that Alliance join forces to buy this technology." Antonidas spoke for a long time and finally finished what he wanted to say, which almost made Aaron anxious to death.
"Sell it to the Alliance?" Aaron actually doesn't matter who you sell it to, as long as the price is right.
However, from the perspective of improving the overall strength of Azeroth, selling to the Alliance is really a very good choice. The only thing Aaron is worried about is that this matter will become very troublesome.
Thinking of this, Aaron looked at Antonidas and said, "Master, why don't you just buy it in the name of Dalaran and then find other members of the Alliance to cooperate?"
Antonidas refused to agree to this and insisted on taking Aaron to Lordaeron, but Aaron said nothing.
"Okay, okay, I'll just go with you." Faced with this extremely stubborn old mage, Aaron finally had no choice but to agree to Antonidas's request.
"Shall we go through the portal now?" Aaron asked.
Antonidas said that he was not in such a hurry this time and could go slowly by carriage. Aaron didn't care at this time. He was not short of time anyway, but he still made a suggestion to save time. "In this case, you might as well take my boat. There is still some time."
"That's fine," Antonidas was not so insistent on such minutiae and agreed to Aaron's proposal.
To Aaron's expectation, Antonidas not only went there in person this time, but also brought Kael'thas and Jaina with him. However, with their identities, it would be quite useful to go together.
It has to be said that although the conversation was very tiring, after making the decision, Antonidas immediately became vigorous and resolute, dragging Aaron to the port without giving him any time to rest.
"Is that ship your ship?" After looking around the pier at the port, Antonidas immediately noticed Dreadwake, which was not flying a flag. After receiving confirmation from Aaron, the old mage waved his hand, and a disc with purple light appeared under his feet, carrying the old mage and flew to the ship.
Seeing this, Kael'thas simply summoned his elemental pet - Fire Phoenix Ao. After getting on Ao's back, Kael'thas invited Jaina to go up with him. Jaina seemed a little hesitant, but finally got on Ao's back.
"These guys..." Aaron was a little dissatisfied, but at this time he couldn't find anyone to complain to, so he summoned the gryphon and flew to the deck with Vereesa.
"Mr. Aaron, where are your sailors?" Jaina saw Aaron coming to the deck and asked hurriedly. Although the other two people did not speak, they also stared at Aaron.
Aaron smiled mysteriously, controlled Dreadwake to put away the anchor, slowly left the berth, and sailed towards Lordaeron in the north. Seeing that the ship could sail without sailors, all the mages showed surprise. However, Aaron did not take the initiative to explain, so they did not ask further questions, which saved Aaron a little trouble.
After arriving at Lordaeron and meeting Terenas, Aaron vaguely understood the reason why Antonidas wanted to suggest Alliance to buy the structure technology. Just like Antonidas said before, Dalaran has a bad reputation among various countries. Recently, Alliance countries have even begun to reject Dalaran. Antonidas probably wants to take this opportunity to improve its relationship with the Alliance.
At the moment, the person in charge of the Alliance is naturally Terenas of Lordaeron. This ambitious king has not been having a good life recently, and his plan to annex Alterac is subject to criticism. When it came to the boycott of the Alliance countries, Gilneas almost obviously withdrew from the Alliance, and the centrifugal tendency of Stromgarde and Quel'Thalas was also obvious.
The news brought by Antonidas made Terenas feel a lot better. He immediately decided to buy the structure core from Aaron at a high price and asked Kael'thas expressed the hope that Quel'Thalas would also participate in the research. It seems that Terenas still hopes to maintain the continued existence of the Alliance.
