The Beginning of Childhood Chapter 6 You have to learn all the time
Adlane knew what a foolish thing it was for him to show his wealth without having enough strength. Although he believed in old Mograine's character and vision, after he exposed his wealth, I am afraid that the retinue who was respectful to him before would have thought about it one day in the future, and even if he didn't, Edlan had to maintain the mentality of "the heart of defense is indispensable".
After all, they are not people they know well, and not all of them will have an unwavering will like some saints, and not all of them will be like saints who will not see money. Ordinary people don't see money, that's because there is not enough money, and such people abound in reality. Adelan revealed a huge amount of money, and he also showed that he didn't care, which had to make the two followers mumble in their hearts.
So Adlan went to Agamandel's Mill and broke their thoughts completely. Of course, he also has something to do, one is to ask the owner of the family to save money, and the other is to emphasize the next business strategy to the other party, which can appropriately increase sales, and begin to promote these good things to other cities, Agamand Mill and Mograini's family also have the strength to transport and sell to other places on a large scale, or they can attract some other nobles in other cities, as the local head snake, you can give them some sales rights in the business, which can not only befriend them, but also better open the market.
As for the specific operation, it depends on how the two of them choose.
Then he also handed over the few new formulas he had promised to the other party, and after making money, he would give his share of the money to the old Mograine Gang for safekeeping, and the reputation of the business partners was still there, and there was still the "majesty" of the big lord there, so Edlan was still very relieved.
Now, not long after the group left the mill of Agamandel, Edlan looked fondly at the west edge of the Tirisfal glades, a place now surrounded by mountains, like a forgotten place called the Whispering Forest, where the tomb of Tyr, once the strongest guardian of Azeroth, was hidden, the fall of Tyr.
There are three artifacts buried in that place, the Silver Hand of the Paladin's Healing Specialization, the Sdomka Slayer of War for the Weapon Warrior, and the Saratas Dark Empire Blade for the Shadow Priest.
Before Deathwing shattered the Pillar of the World, the Fall of Tyr hid in the depths of the mountains.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there were still a few small villages in the vicinity, but the closer the villagers got to the Whispering Forest, the more they felt the whispers of malice, curses, and madness, and gradually the place was declared a forbidden place by the villagers. But such a rumor of danger made many speculators and treasure thieves who heard the news of the treasure buried in the mountains from somewhere stronger the certainty that there was a treasure hidden in that place, so waves of "explorers" made final preparations in those small villages, and then set out for the depths of the mountains......
Gradually, under the dictation of a few "survivors" who had escaped from the madness, the village that was originally on the edge of the woodland was also worried that the evil in the mountains would emerge at any time and endanger themselves, so people kept moving away, which gradually declined the villages that had been deformed and prosperous because of the exploration fever, and finally, the villagers there completely moved away.
Since then, the fall of Tyr has become a myth and legend, like a dragon, something almost inaccessible to mortals, and even the dwarves who love to explore and unearth history cannot tell the truth from the fake.
Truth be told, if Edlan wasn't a traverser, he wouldn't have been interested in the seemingly deep forests and overlapping mountains in the distance. However, he was very interested now, but even if he was lucky enough to find a way to the depths, he would not dare to approach it, because his strength could not withstand the vicious whispers left behind by the evil who had been killed there.
The evil energy left there is enough to make a normal person go crazy, and the simple explanation is to use the SAN value as an example, that is, the closer to the destination, the person who is not strong-willed and has no protection, the faster the SAN value will fall, and the so-called will test will eventually become a joke, and then until his SAN value reaches zero and becomes negative, and finally he will be lost in that mountain mountain forever......
At least when Edlan came to this world, he found that he was not a lucky person, he was just a guy with a little bit of a later mind and knew how to use it a little, and he was just one of the many beings who would have to face the catastrophe that would ensue on Azeroth in the near future.
On the way south, at the request of Edlan, the speed of the carriage was not fast, and there were many breaks in the middle, after all, the carriage of this era did not expect it to be comfortable, there was no shock absorption system, even if there was a soft cushion as a cushion to cushion, it was a very painful thing at all.
And during these pauses to rest, Edlan asked two of his retinue to teach him how to ride.
Learning to ride is a very painful thing, a physical pain. Not only will the inner thighs be bruised and bleed, but it is easy to hurt the poor balls if the posture is not right at first. This made Edlan extremely depressed, but fortunately, the usefulness of the Holy Light was highlighted again, and the rapid stopping of bleeding and dredging made him feel a lot better, but it was always a little strange when he cast the Holy Light Healing Technique on his little brother under the gaze of two stinky men, and this composition was very awkward no matter how you looked at it......
Heading south from Lordaeron, along the main road, surrounded by patches of peaceful, tranquil, rich and beautiful farmland, the happy smiles on the faces of these peasants are not pretended, you can see from the expressions of these people, at least in the heart of Lordaeron, their lives are quite good, and everything seems to be in good condition in the land under King Terenus.
At the end of the horizon, looking back at the most prosperous city in the Northlands, Edlan felt a sense of melancholy, "I'm afraid this is the last time I've seen the perfect appearance of Lordaeron, the most majestic city in the Human Alliance......
A day later.
The group entered the boundary of the Silver Pine Forest.
Ever since he had the horse, Marcus stopped squeezing the carriage with Edlan, and he spent every day with the white horse, hugging each other when he went to bed, in his words with Elke, "to develop a bond with the mount". There are often similar things in the army, the treatment of horses is much better than that of people, and the riders will also take care of the horses very carefully, for them, after going to the battlefield, in addition to their comrades, the most loyal is their animal companions under the crotch.
The two also persuaded Adeline to get closer to the little black horse who was still in mood from time to time, but Adelan also tried several times, but the little black horse loved to ignore it, and when he was in a good mood, he let Edlan ride and practice for a while, and when he was in a bad mood, he threw him off the ground directly, and walked to the side with small steps on his toes......
So, while Edlan's riding skills grew rapidly to everyone's amazement, the little black horse became an obstacle to his ability to cheat on his continuous practice with the help of Holy Light healing.
Helplessly, Adelan could only start to practice his martial arts in addition to training his riding skills, after all, there are two good practice objects, isn't it? So in this kind of sparring, Adelan's martial arts have made great progress, and his real iron sword feel has become more and more proficient, and everything is developing for the better.
Marcus is a mid-level warrior who specializes in defense, and Edlan's use of the Light's healing skills is almost unbridled to attack the sparring Marcus, which makes him more and more brilliant in attacking.
As for Elke, he never revealed what his profession was, only that he had been in the scout group. Scout group, this is amazing, scouts are often skilled, clever people can be selected, and they are also often the elite of the army, so those who can stay in the scout group are probably all good skills.
Edlan himself guessed that Elk was a thief class, well, that was the class that changed its name to a stalker for the sake of harmony. It was still impossible to tell what level he was, and Edlan quietly asked Marcus, but the latter's answer was the same, and he couldn't tell the depth of this person.
But what Adelane learned the most when he fought Elk was how to be disarmed and counter-killed by the opponent with his bare hands, which gave him a new understanding of the fighting style of agile flow, after all, the opponent often completed 2-3 moves with the difference in strength, experience and technology after making 1 move by himself, which also warned Adelan not to swell all the time, after all, he was just a fledgling, power-type priest who was biased towards speed flow......
How strong is a mid-level warrior? For the current Adrian, it is still an unattainable existence, at this point in time, in the armies of the human countries of Azeroth, the mid-level warrior is some commanders at the level of lieutenants and colonels, do you say it is strong? He can only be regarded as a junior priest who can do some martial arts at most, and it is estimated that 10 Edlan can just beat one Marcus together, right?
It's just that a talent like this, Marcus is not very old, there is no reason to retire so early, this Edlan asked, but he was beaten by the other party haha perfunctory, and he is still attached to old Mograine after retiring, and he is not an entourage, a retainer or something.
And such a Marcus can't see through Elke's depth, which is a bit reverie. Elk was already a little gray-haired, and he should be between 35-45 years old, long past the prime of his physical functioning, but it was surprising that he could still get a place in the scout group at such an advanced age.
Although Marcus, like Elk, was found by old Mograine, and despite their mysteries, it did not prevent Adelane from learning many practical things from them, which he craved the most.
However, when Adlan mentioned that his first destination was Dalaran, Marcus's expression was visibly ...... Unwilling.
Is it really that Marcus? In "A Tear-jerking Romance Novel", Marcus's first object happens to be a human female mage, I don't remember what it was specifically called, and now his retinue Marcus has shown such a clear expression of reluctance to Dalaran as a mage, will there be any connection?
......
From Lordaeron to Laran, there is actually a large Lordanmere Lake, in the middle of the lake there is a Fenris Island, on which there is a fortress of the same name, which is an important place behind the side of the arch guard Lordaeron. If you take a boat south from the edge of the royal city of Lordaeron, you will be able to reach the pier on the outskirts of Dalaran in one day through the calm waters of Lake Lordammere.
But Edlan's purpose is to travel, not to do nothing and go straight to his destination.
So in this way, with all kinds of questions and speculations, and the rest frequency of "three steps and one stop", it took this group more than ten days to barely cross the road of the Silver Pine Forest, just after the Orson Farm, it was barely out of the Lordaeron territory, and came to the junction of the three kingdoms of Gilneis, Dalaran and Lordaeron, the future infamous Shadow Fang Castle is nearby, and it is not far from the Ambermir Fortress in Dalaran, which can be said to be the junction of the three kingdoms.
Along the way, on the third day, Adelan had relied on his huge "MP" to use healing spells infinitely, and the powerful healing power of the Holy Light made his magic proficiency fly, and at the same time, it also allowed him to completely master the primary riding technique, and since then, he has also gotten rid of the panicked carriage that sits on.
In the realm of Lordaeron, when the carriage with the coat of arms of the Monastery of the Holy Light passed by, the peasants and passers-by on the roadside sincerely stopped their work, stopped their hurried steps, bowed to Edlan and his party, and even invited them to their homes to drink saliva and rest for a while, and even offered some dry food to Edlan and his party, but the latter clearly wanted to buy it with coins.
Of course, this kind of respect is not earned for nothing, but by the many monks of the Abbey of the Light, or by the probationary priests like Edlan who choose to go out on the tour, do more to see these peasants for free medical treatment, pray for blessings, and even teach them to read and write, so that they can be respected from the bottom of their hearts.
For this reason, since Adelan wants to follow the path of the Light and the Church, he cannot be silenced in terms of good deeds, so he will choose to accept anyone who needs help on the road, and it does not exceed the scope of Adelan's treatment.
Healing, dispelling, and pretending to pray for blessings and then inflict a mantra on the other party, thus making the villagers feel very favorable towards the young itinerant priest, and he also received a gift from the villagers, at least for the next few days, they have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat, plus the hares and even a fawn that the two veterans Marcus and Elk have hunted...... Every time he ate, the sumptuous picnic food cooked by Edlan himself with secretly concocted condiments would make him feel that it was really just an ordinary outing and picnic, rather than an adventure to travel around the world.
The Abbey of the Holy Light is not a house that will take on some risk-taking risks as long as there is a task, and Edlan and his party will also take rabbit skins and deer skins that have been handled by two veterans very skillfully and exchange some dry food and wine with farmers who are willing to trade.
No one will think that there is anything wrong with this, even if it is a priest, it is necessary to live, everyone understands the truth, barter, you and I will, fair trade.
Of course, the clergyman's Edlan was out of the way, but the two veterans were more than happy to make the two drunkards drink even if it was just a very inferior ale, or a low-quality rum sold from the hills of Hillsbrad.
“...... Back then, we were there, defeating the orcs. ”
"That's right! Those Blackstone Orcs were the best at the time!
Marcus and Elk were radiant about their final battle against the orcs on the Burning Plains, but soon their expressions dimmed.
"Sir Lothar was killed in battle...... Alas, it was a very bad time. ”
"Isn't it...... Your partner will probably not be seen the next day, and will be replaced by a damn recruit!" Elke took a big sip of bad wine very dissatisfied, it seemed that he had drunk some of it today, and his words began to be a little "group mockery", "The most annoying thing about those newcomers is that they can't wait to take their heads and change them for a shallow wound cut on the orc's leather armor...... Damn, we're even going to have to collect the bodies of those stupid guys after a fight!"
"Hey, Uncle Elk, you're drunk. Edlan gave a friendly reminder.
Marcus immediately woke up, this is in the wilderness, although the road down is relatively peaceful, but after nightfall, those bold robbers don't care whether this place is called Lordaeron or Stormwind Kingdom, they see that the three masters and servants are not a little defenseless, and they are drunk, then it is simply a lamb sent by God to save them.
"Well, Elk, drink less, you go to bed tonight, I'll be on duty for the first half of the night. ”
But in the face of Adelan's friendly admonition with Marcus, Elke's bloodshot eyes widened, revealing a hideous expression, he grinned and said to Adelan: "Hey, young master, do you know? Those dead fools are not much older than you, they are all adventurous, poisoned by that damn knight novel, they like unrealistic fantasies, they always think they are some kind of savior, hahaha......" Elke laughed and poured another sip of wine into his mouth, "You know what? The fate of such a boy who does not know the height of the sky is to be cut in two under the orc's tomahawk, and his upper body is still begging to give him a good time!
"Enough! Elke, damn it, shut your stinky mouth! The war is over!" Marcus is also on fire, this temporary "master" is very kind to them, and there is no arrogance and temper at all, and he is very intimate to prepare what they lack, Elke lacks a worthy weapon, Marcus lacks a war horse, the "master" has thought of it and done it well, but Elke always seems to be dissatisfied, what is there to be dissatisfied?
Elk saw that Marcus had already stood up, and faintly made a hand-to-hand combat posture, he was very disdainful, he had a way to deal with a straight warrior like Marcus, but if you added a priest who could provide healing and strengthening, it would be different.
But when Elke's eyes turned to Edlan on the side, he found that the latter still had a quiet expression, the campfire was crackling, and Elke's words with Marcus didn't seem to affect his mood at all, and he stared at the fire until he noticed Elke's eyes, and still looked at them calmly.
"Hmph, I'm going to sleep. "Elk is a little drunk, but how can a veteran of a hundred battles be stunned by the bad wine in this bladder? He is so angry that he asks him to be a groom for a little ghost? He is not allowed to expose his skills, and he has to make a secret evaluation? The big men of the Holy Light Monastery are really good at sending people. But after taking this mission, he will receive a reward after he returns, and then he can go to enjoy the life of the prostitution house for a few days.
......
The ten-day journey is not long, but it is not short, every time the two veterans drink properly after dinner, they always sigh at the time when they fought with the orcs in the past, the two of them are like endless stories, each time they can talk for a long time, although sometimes it will be a little unpleasant, but this undoubtedly allows Edlan to learn some basic knowledge of the human army in this era from their words, which has benefited him a lot.
This evening, Adline and his party were invited by a welcoming farmhouse to take advantage of the opportunity. But in the evening, the mistress of the house suddenly came to them, and she pleaded with Edlan in his coat very anxiously, "Venerable Mr. Priest, my husband has just escaped from the mines, and he is now covered in blood! I don't know how he is doing, but you must save him!"
After listening to the hostess's words, the two veterans who had experienced more glanced at each other and found that each other's eyes were a little dignified, while Adelan's eyes lit up and muttered in his heart, is it finally here, the so-called adventurer's mission!
