"When we were in the north, I reached an agreement with Grand Duke Bolvar of Stormwind City. We can hire Stonemasons' Guild from Kingdom of Stormwind to take charge of those more technical buildings." Aaron gently clicked on the map where Stormwind City is located.
"Stonemasons' Guild? I have heard of this organization before," Illucia frowned and pondered for a while, then his brows relaxed and he suddenly realized. "The famous statue of Five Heroes of the Dark Portal was made by them, right?"
When he said this, Illucia couldn't help but glance in the direction of Vereesa, whose sister was one of Five Heroes of the Dark Portal.
"If it's them, there should be no problem." Illucia had paid little attention to the Stonemasons' Guild before, but after all, they have also completed the reconstruction work of Stormwind City, and also completed the statue of the five heroes that was well received in the Alliance, so it should be relatively reliable.
But Illucia is still a little doubtful about Aaron's words, because he knows Aaron's trip north, and Illucia doesn't know that Bolvar is also in this expedition team. "When did you reach an agreement with Kingdom of Stormwind?"
"It was when Northrend," Aaron briefly introduced how he exchanged the use rights of Utgarde Keep and Bolvar for the employment rights of the Stonemasons' Guild.
At the previous meeting of the Alliance, Varian once proposed that Stonemasons' Guild could be sent to help Stromgarde rebuild, but King Thoradin did not accept Kingdom of Stormwind's assistance in the end. In the end, Stonemasons' Guild stayed with Stormwind City.
"Lord, with all due respect, you..." Illucia hesitated for a moment and continued, "You made a bit of a loss in this transaction."
Aaron asked with some confusion, "How do you say this? I don't need Utgarde. Wouldn't it be good to exchange it for the Stonemasons' Guild?"
"According to my understanding, the reconstruction work of Stormwind City has been basically completed, but the nobles of Kingdom of Stormwind don't seem to want to pay for the reconstruction as promised. I think that Stonemasons' Guild should have become a very difficult problem in Stormwind City. Your transaction actually helped Stormwind City solve a trouble."
"Is there still such a statement?" Aaron thought for a while, and what Illucia said does seem to make sense. Although the intensification of the conflict between the Stonemasons' Guild and Stormwind City in the "official history" was partly fueled by Black Dragon Princess, as the saying goes, there can be no fire without smoke, and it is normal for the two sides to have discord.
"But this matter is not all bad." Illucia thought for a while and then said, "Leaving aside the profit and loss of this transaction, it is also a very good thing to be able to reach a cooperative relationship with Kingdom of Stormwind. Based on the special status of Covenant City, it is quite important to have a good ally among the Alliance."
After solving this problem, Illucia pointed out several problems that Covenant City had. However, the lady said that these problems were more like showing her abilities to Aaron. She had her own solutions to these problems. All Aaron could do was to help see if there were any omissions in her plan from another angle.
"Finally all these things have been resolved, what are we going to do next?" Watching Illucia leave the conference room, Aaron stretched out, and talking about work with this young lady who was focused on work put a lot of pressure on Aaron.
After finally seeing off Illucia, Aaron felt that he was completely relaxed. Even the fatigue from the previous long voyage came back. However, it was still early and Aaron didn't know what to do.
"Vereesa, what are you looking at?" Aaron leaned on the chair and looked around the hall, only to see Vereesa standing by the window, looking at something in concentration.
"Ah? Oh, I'm watching the dwarfs testing new machines." Vereesa heard Aaron calling him, and turned back and pointed outside the window. "The dwarfs seem to be testing new things, it looks quite interesting?"
"Really? Let me take a look." After hearing this, Aaron cheered up and moved closer to Vereesa. He looked in the direction indicated by Vereesa, but found that it was a bit far away from the dwarfs. He could not see the specific situation over there clearly, and could only see a mess.
After realizing that he couldn't see clearly at all, Aaron turned his head and looked at Vereesa beside him, and asked, "Can you really see clearly? I don't think even you, an elf, can see clearly at that distance."
"It's true that you can't see clearly under normal circumstances." Vereesa said, turning his head and showing his eyes to Aaron, which shone with the brilliance of Arcane, but did not look like him. The mage showed his face when casting a spell, "You see, Eagle Eye, a small spell that rangers must learn. Do you want me to help you? I just don't know the difference between human eyes and elves, so the effect may not be very good."
"Forget it, I'll just go over and take a look." Aaron waved his hand. Although he was exhausted, now that he discovered that the dwarfs had new achievements, his spirits were lifted. At least he didn't just want to be lazy like before.
"Then let's go. I'm also interested in this new thing of theirs. Maybe I can try it myself when I get there." Vereesa followed Aaron and left the room, walking towards where Ya-Mei Trading Company was.
At this moment, the open space in front of the trading company was crowded with a large number of dwarfs and humans watching the fun. There were even a few Orcs standing far away in the corner, looking like they wanted to take a look but hesitated.
"Everyone, please give me permission. What we are going to test next is very dangerous. It will be dangerous if we are so close." Just when Aaron was worrying about how to squeeze in to see the situation, he heard a sharp voice from the crowd. Hearing the familiar voice, the crowd of onlookers spread out, revealing several fully armed dwarfs surrounding a strange-looking machine. Next to them, there was a dwarf controlling a large mecha who was beckoning the onlookers to spread out further.
"Master Sicco Thermaplugg, you are very busy here." Aaron saw that the crowd around him became sparse, so he waved in the direction of Sicco Thermaplugg and walked into the venue along the gap in the crowd.
"Ah ha, it's you, Aaron, long time no see," Sicco Thermaplugg's eyes lit up after seeing Aaron. It seemed that he was also very happy to see Aaron again after such a long time. "You are just here, take a look at the new product I have recently developed. I think this thing will definitely give you a surprise."
