Teenage Beginnings Chapter 1 A good start
Short Foreword:
First of all, this volume is a prologue, mostly making some settings and foreshadowing for the protagonist.
Then, I want to emphasize that this is not a rigorous essay, this is not a rigorous essay, this is not a rigorous essay, the important thing is said three times, this is just a Warcraft player's self-congratulatory work, above.
Here's the dividing line***********
"Stop, there's an intruder in the castle!" said a little girl with beige hair, crossed over beside the green fields, and imitated the appearance of an adult in a serious manner...... Do you think you can escape from this palace of light and escape with our secrets?Vishas, interrogate this criminal immediately!"
"I'm honored, ma'am!" replied the red-haired boy named Vishas, who turned and pointed to a squirrel in the clearing beside him, "Tell me...... Tell me everything, or I'll dig up your secrets with my own hands. ”
But the squirrel was holding a little nut and tilting his head, looking cute.
"It doesn't speak, ma'am. I know it's keeping secrets! evil secrets!" Vishas grimaced, helpless.
At this time, the little girl's face became serious, "My warrior, destroy this monster!"
The little brown-haired boy who was already ready to attack shouted, "These infidels must be purified, ma'am!" but the next second the boy swung his fist out, as if he had been seriously injured, "Ahh......h
"Mograine has fallen, you will have to pay for it!Resurrect, my warrior!Resurrect!" the little girl cast a healing spell on Renault Mograini, who pretended to fall to the ground.
With a "rub", Renault stood up, "Fight for you, my lady!"
The little girl nodded, "We're fighting together!"
Veshas chanted, "We're all in this together......"
But the cheers of the children soon scared away the only "audience" watching the play......
Soon, the little girl sat down on the edge of the stone beside her, "Without Edlan, it is not interesting to play such a play all the time." ”
"Lisa, why don't we play it differently?" Renault trotted over, holding a tree trunk in his hand and waving it a few times, "I'll practice my swordsmanship with Veshas, Lisa, will you judge us?"
Lisa Whitemane just gave the idle child in front of her a roll of her eyes, and then she began to calm down and do some basic meditation needed for the Holy Light Spell.
She felt that playing with children was too much time and that she had to make herself stronger. As a child, she was forced to kill her parents, younger brother, and sister who were infected with the plague, which left her own psyche tormented for a long time, and was later rescued and adopted by the great lord Alessandros Mograini, who happened to pass by. She now lives under one roof with her adoptive father's two sons, Dalyan and Renault.
As for the other kid named Adelan Anaheim that Lisa was talking about, he was a very peculiar fellow. He was like an outsider like Lisa, and neither Renor nor nor Dalyan, oh yes, nor the obscure Vestas, remembered that north of Brill, beyond the clear lake, east of the northern coast, at the foot of the hill near the Abbey of the Light, there was a small village called the Barony of Anaheim.
The territory is not large, a small village composed of more than a dozen villagers, since the old Anaheim's generation has been in debt, and their family is miserable enough, obviously a nobleman with a fief, but for various reasons, after Edlan's parents passed away one after another, he didn't even have a meal, but fortunately, the big lord Mograini took care of the orphans of his old comrades, so that Edlan, who was still young, could survive.
Because of this, Adlane and Lisa became playmates.
That's right, the elder Anaheim participated in the war as a subordinate of Mograine during the Second Orc War, and died in battle, and the body was not recovered, and the small barony was supposed to be self-sufficient at first, but the old Anaheim gave the rewards for his exploits and the money his family saved to pay off the debts to the families of the soldiers who died in the army.
In addition, the Anaheim family was already withered, because of the war, the old lord often fought abroad, resulting in no one caring about the territory situation, and the son was too young to take charge, if it wasn't for a loyal butler to help take care of his son, I am afraid that before the old Anaheim died in battle, his son would starve to death first.
As a result, the news of the old lord's death came in battle, and the old butler was also hit and fell ill, and finally left, after that, Adelan Anaheim was like a different person, and at a young age resisted this huge debt, and now only a year later, he paid off the debt in a very peculiar way that Lisa's children could not understand.
The ancestral house of the Anaheim family is much stronger than the thatched huts of the villagers outside, although it is a little larger and looks a little more imposing on the outside, but the disrepair and lack of care have long made the house barren and overgrown. Lisa had been there a few times to find out what Adeline was doing in the house all day, but they had been shut up several times, because Adelan was always secretly tinkering with something in his dilapidated ancestral home, and could only smell some strange scents, but could not find what it was.
After the two of them discussed in the house for a while, it was not long before he saw him regain the title deeds belonging to Anaheim's domain, and it was incredibly clear that the High Lord was much more generous than usual, and he and Edlan had a reputation for being philanthropic in the towns around Brill......
......
Edlan Anaheim, when you look at this surname, it feels like someone who has gone to the wrong set, in fact, it is true, Adelan is a time-traveler, he woke up and found that he was here, to the world of Azeroth, to such a person. Whether he had traveled to the former time-traveler, or whether there was such a person in the world of Azeroth, who didn't know if it was the main timeline, he didn't care anymore.
After the initial panic, to the slow adaptation, and after a year of painstaking management, this child, who was still two months to ten years old, accomplished something that ordinary adults could not do - in less than a year, he developed a delicious luxury pastry that was enough to dazzle the nobles of Lordaeron who were full of food and had nothing to do, and who liked to feast on wine, and used the limited sales of later generations to obtain his first pot of gold in this world.
Of course, such success has to be built on the old Mograine's "escort", Alessandros Mograini, who was brilliant during World War II, is a banner figure in the kingdom of Lordaeron, whether it is black or white, he has to give him some face, so when Edlan took the formula he made and tightened his belt to show the old Mograinei and stated his sales plan, the uncle who had been in the aristocratic circle for many years immediately discovered how broad the market this thing could open.
So this bright glitter pastry jointly produced by the Mograine family and the Agaman Mill was launched, and it immediately swept the entire noble circle of Lordaeron, and even the Minethil royal family in the royal palace sent people to buy a batch with these two parties, but helplessly, due to the insistence of the major shareholder Edlan, the kid, insisted that it must be sold in limited quantities during the early promotion.
Then the two families superficially brushed the face of the Minethir royal family, but secretly the two families still secretly sent some inventory to the people sent by the royal family, and the pragmatic King Terenas also "reciprocated" and secretly gave the two families some business convenience.
In order to trade fairly, dare not to give face to the royal family, such an operation made more and more nobles curious about this fresh gadget, more and more orders were sent to the two, and as a last resort, the Agamande family expanded their own production base before they could barely cope with it, and in this way, the number of orders had to queue up until a few months later......
Then Adelan used the dividend money to develop a new product, which is also the kind of sparkling fruit, which was also successful, in less than a year, through the 4, 3, 3 dividends, and 4 percent of the technical dividends, Adelan paid off the land title deed mortgaged by his father in order to raise money to help the families of those soldiers who died in the war, a total of about 5000 gold.
5,000 gold, in this post-World War II peaceful day, is a huge amount of money, and it is hard to get Edlane out of the hands of those picky and very picky aristocrats, of course, externally, with the help of old Mograine, he will get the family property back to his own name.
In fact, Edlan's method is quite simple, through a special sugar-coated syrup, made of apricots and raspberries as raw materials to make a liquid, and then mixed with common condiments such as vanilla and cinnamon, simmering over a slow fire, evaporating some water and reducing a certain percentage of sugar. In the end, after repeated adjustments, this liquid not only makes the usual pastry more sweet and delicious, but also increases its original flavor when applied to the surface, making it more shiny and looking very good, which is the best thing for the aristocracy who likes new things, banquets, or ceremonies. (above the mustache)
It was then that Edlan learned that the herbalism in this world of Azeroth was not just a convenient skill for collecting herbs for alchemy, but also a branch of the collection he was now doing for food. Moreover, it is impossible for the bizarre continent of Azeroth to only have wild plants such as tranquilization flowers and ground roots that can be used by humans, and as far as Adran himself has experienced, he has discovered the materials he needs and completed the luxury that is all the rage. If this were a game, Adelan felt that his "herb picking" and "cooking" skills would at least be able to learn something new from an intermediate trainer......
So, with the help of a combination of marketing methods and timely launch of new products, Edlan succeeded, and he has now become a little rich, as for how to use the money, he has not yet figured it out. Now he is only helping the villagers in the territory to change the farm tools, and also spending money to hire someone to build a small waterwheel ditch from the side of the Cheshui Lake to the village, and only one adult man can step on the waterwheel, thus completely solving the problem of draught and water difficulty in this small village.
He deposited the rest of the money in Uncle Lordaeron's bank.
The banking industry in this world of Azeroth is too well developed, and there are banks in all the large cities of the entire alliance members, and these banks have formed a financial organization, and even the goblins are members of its organization. Cash can be withdrawn in other places in the form of bills, and these bills are specially commissioned by the boss behind the banking industry to customize the six-member council of Dalaran, and the protection and anti-counterfeiting measures are so strict that ordinary people can't imagine at all, of course, he also very kindly "sponsored" a huge amount of money to Dalaran for this purpose.
For example, if you deposit a sum of money in the bank of Lordaeron, a major trading city in the north, and get the bill, you can withdraw the money from the bank in the main city of Bolares, the main city of Kurtilas, and this only requires a one-thousandth of the handling fee for withdrawing the funds, which greatly promotes commercial circulation.
Imagine, when the banking industry had not yet developed to the present level, take the 5,000 gold coins that Adelan got as an example, and if he wanted to use the money to go south from Lordaeron to Fort Rapids to buy goods, he had to hire at least three troikas, one to hold bags of heavy gold coins, one for himself, and the other for the guards.
Not to mention that with this huge amount of money on the road, there will be a lot of bandits on the road, and the lure of this money alone is estimated to make the hired guards think about what they shouldn't have......
......
Back to the topic of Edlan, in fact, he did these things for two purposes, one is to befriend old Mograini, and the other is to exchange for a good reputation, although he doesn't know the specific time, but after all, he knows that next, shortly after the end of World War II, what terrible things will happen in the beautiful and rich land of Lordaeron, so he must hold his thighs tightly.
In fact, he has already done it, because the Mograine family has "covered" the business of the Agamande family, so that this up-and-coming business can gain a foothold in Lordaeron, the largest and most prosperous city in the Northlands, instead of dying at birth.
Therefore, as the "eldest brother", Mograini naturally made a lot of money, and the big lord never did business on weekdays, and the income from the territory alone was enough, but after all, he was also a nobleman, and he needed to participate in all kinds of socializing and socializing, so although the status of the big lord was high, every time he participated in any banquet and entertainment, it was the time when he had the most money and headache.
But after receiving a large amount of extra gold money, he now looks at Adlan more than his youngest son, Dalyan, who he loves the most, and of course his adopted daughter, Lisa Whitemayne. It's just that Edlan's kid is a little too wicked, because in his opinion, that kid is not only outstanding in business acumen, but also a good material for martial arts. He saw it once, it was when several children were playing together, and Renault, who was 3 years older than Adelan, lost to the other party in a competition of strength, and in the end, Renault still relied on the basic martial arts he usually taught him to knock Edlan to the ground......
Because Renault's kid has always been the best of those kids, after losing the competition, Adlane Little Hercules's nickname has spread in the villages and towns around Brill since then, what a terrible boy.
As a paladin, old Mograine is very sensitive to the perception of the Holy Light, and he saved Lisa more or less for this reason, Lisa's Holy Light affinity is very high, and now there is a more exaggerated Adelan, among the children of their generation, it is Edlan, a terrible boy, who has the strongest affinity for the Holy Light, which reminds Old Mograini of his old buddy Uther, and at the same time, he is also very relieved that there is a successor to the warriors who defend the kingdom.
So, after simply teaching Lisa, Dalyan, and Edlan some basic martial arts and basic meditation methods, when they were 11 years old, the three of them were recommended by old Mograine to study the teachings of the Light in the northeast corner of the Tirisfal Glade, and were baptized, with the goal of becoming a trainee priest.
Edlan also got his wish, and after entering the monastery, he was recognized by many "seniors" and "teachers" for his good deeds in Brill.
A good start, isn't it.
P.S1: At the beginning, I quote the small easter egg left by the glass slag in the old Nanhai Town when I rescued Sal, I don't know if anyone can see it?
