Chapter 240: Rumors

The largest town outside of Lordaeron, Brill was once known as a hub for Lordaeron's commodities and agricultural products, and was known in the Tirisfal Woodlands. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info since it was swept away by the Scourge Legion led by Arthas, the prince of Lordaeron, it was once inaccessible, and later because of its geographical location, it was repeatedly fought over by the Forsaken and the Scourge Legion, and now it has become the territory of mankind.

Now, once again, it is welcoming a steady stream of people.

A large number of civilians were gathered in the square where Brill once was, and they were waiting for arrangements from the Crusaders.

Civilians sat or stood in groups of three or five. Locke's speech played a role, they didn't become blind and scared, they began to wait here with peace of mind.

However, there are also some people who think differently. They always want to make a big news story and disrupt the order here.

They walked among the crowd with rumors.

"Listen to me, I have the latest news!" A man in a dark robe, hidden in a hood, called out to the crowd around him.

A number of civilians surrounded him.

"Run, this place has become the target of those terrifying monsters, if you run away alone, you will survive!" He hid himself in the shadows of his robes.

"How so? The master just said that he will not give up on us! A civilian around him pointed at him, "What's more, the lord is a paladin, and his words always sound more reliable than someone from you who is unknown!" ”

The surrounding refugees chimed in.

This made the person wearing the robe and cloak curse in his heart.

"I have my message channel! If you don't want to hear it, you can leave! When the time comes, you'll be caught by those monsters, but don't blame me for not reminding you! He intimidated the civilians around him, "Now believe me and stay!" If you don't believe me, you can leave! ”

"Phew! Pretend to be a ghost! A couple of civilians spat and left the place. Still, a few civilians remained.

"But where can we go? Tirisfa is full of undead! A female civilian asked.

"Run to the mill town of the Agamandel family! The Crusaders have cleared the way there, and they are ready to abandon you as a target to attract the monsters, and then the Crusaders will retreat to the mill town! The man in the dark robe, he looked up at the soldiers in the distance who were maintaining order. Do you really think they're out to defend you against monsters? They're lying to you! ”

"Wouldn't it?!" The woman said with some suspicion, and the other civilians around her also looked at him suspiciously, "Lord Harvey is a good man, he promised not to give up on us, and he said that Iva would give us land to cultivate and pay very little tax. ”

"Lord Harvey, a noble paladin, he wouldn't do that."

"Hmph, can you believe the words of the nobles?" The dark-robed man sneered, he continued. "Think about your former noble lords, how many of them would do this? And now on the way to Mill Town, there are a large number of cavalry ready there. ”

Hearing him say this, the faces of the civilians who were already hesitant were even more difficult to look at. Yes, how many lords will give up their land? A few even turned around directly to find their wives and children, ready to discuss the matter again.

"I'm leaving, you're here to get me the monsters to look at. Good luck! The dark-robed man said after one more look at the soldier who was maintaining order. Anyone who wants to come with me, I'll be waiting for you on that little hill northwest of Brill. ”

"Besides," said the man, looking ill-intentioned at the woman who questioned him, "the undead are the ones who like to eat the flesh of children." And you're the best material for their experiments! ”

With that, he covered his head with a cloak, turned and disappeared into the crowd, leaving the stunned refugees behind.

This scene was played out everywhere in this small square, in this ruins of Brill, and it was clear that they had premeditated, perhaps they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Soon, some of the refugees who were moved took advantage of the chaos to leave Brill and walk towards the small hill they had talked about.

"Hines, get up! Don't lie down! "A woman heard rumors of their walk and hurried to find her man.

"What's wrong?" The man, Hynes, was lying on all their possessions, playing with their young son.

"I've heard that the Crusaders are going to abandon us! Escape to the mill town of Agamandel! Fast! Pack your things! The woman picked up the child and urged her man.

"Irena, who did you listen to?" The man stood up in a panic.

"Don't care who you say, grab your things and let's go!" The woman, Irena, held the child in her arms and urged the man.

"But... The High Lord is a paladin! He believes in the Light! He's not going to do that. "Soon Hines reacted, how could the paladins break their oath?

"What about our original lord, Aseko? Isn't he a paladin? The woman looked at her man with disdain, "Look what he's done?!" Not to mention the tax increase, there is also a monthly tax! He already has a wife! Also robbed old Roque's daughter! Doesn't he also believe in the Light?! ”

"It's... It's not the same, okay. Hines was speechless by his own woman, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Don't waste your time here! You can't go! Irena stared at her man, but his man was still a little suspicious.

"There are so many people here... Or are we waiting? Hines said uncertainly.

"Good! You're not leaving! I'll go with the kids! Irena grabbed a small bag from the man's body and turned to leave.

"Well, can't I go?" Hines shook his head and said helplessly.

The rumors came out and soon affected the surrounding civilians

A few people like Irena left directly in the chaos, while many more continued to gather in the square to give Baron Berg an explanation.

"Listen to me, everybody!" Baron Berg stood on a tall stack of boxes, which had been used as a makeshift gathering place, and the small square in front of him was full of people.

But before he could speak, the crowd below asked him questions first.

"Sir?! Tell us the truth, the Crusaders can't beat those monsters! ”

"Sir, are the Crusaders going to abandon us!"

"How can you do that!"

The refugees below were excited, and they were asking questions in a row.

On the box, Baron Berg looked at the refugees shouting below and felt inexplicable, who was listening to this.

"Listen to me! The Crusaders never said they would give up on you! We don't know who you're listening to! Baron Berg shouted as he pulled his neck.

"Then why are there Crusader cavalry on the road to the mill town of Agamandel now? What are they doing there?! The crowd fell silent, and one of them asked.

"Defend! For your safety, as for why they are. Baron Berg touched his nose, "That's a military secret, and the Crusaders have their considerations." ”

Soon more questions were asked one after another, and Baron Berg resolved their doubts one by one.

Among the civilians below, Joshua held his child in his arms, and he couldn't help but sneer as he listened to Baron Berg's explanation above.

"I wonder if the brains of this group of people have been eaten by monsters." Joshua coaxed the children and played finger games with little Joshua while making fun of the refugees.

"What's wrong? Joshua, are they not right? His woman, Olise, craned her neck to look at the mayor who had explained above, and when she heard Joshua ask, she turned to her man.

"Will the crusaders go to great lengths to pull us out and send us to our deaths? Look around the Crusaders! In Joshua's arms, little Joshua grinned and grabbed his father's fingers.

Oriss turned her head to look around, and in the distance there were a large number of crusader soldiers, some resting in place, some cleaning up the ruins, and some riding horses in and out quickly.

"There's a large army here, and there's a baron here, and one of the leaders of the Crusaders outside. If in doubt, don't say that yet. Crusaders need a population, right? How would they farm without us? How to feed the army?! Joshua said, looking up at his wife. This is the simplest question of logic, and there are still people who question that the Crusaders will abandon them! ”

"I'd like to run some people so we can get more land. Maybe we will have the money in the future and can actually own our own land. ”

Joshua shook his head and said casually, and little Joshua in his arms began to grab his hair, and he scratched the child's armpits while dodging, and little Joshua smiled.

Olis looked at their laughing father and son tenderly, and suddenly felt very happy.

Baron Berg may indeed be fit to be a mayor or something, managing civil matters. The seemingly tricky problems of civilians were resolved by him one by one.

They obeyed Baron Berg's orders and waited in the square with peace of mind.

"Whew, I'm so tired." Berg wiped the sweat from his head and said to Zodi beside him, "These fools, whoever says something will believe it, hey." ”

Zodi didn't answer him, he was watching the square as bands of soldiers went to catch those in dark robes.

Suddenly, a man in a robe broke free from the soldier's grasp and rushed towards him. Behind, a group of soldiers were chasing.

"Stop him!" The soldiers in the back shouted.

Zodi had already rushed forward.

At this moment, there was a sudden heat behind Zodi, and a fist-sized fireball swept through the air and smashed on the fleeing man, who fell to the ground screaming directly.

"Let's go! Check it out! Berg blew his palm, and walked towards the man who had fallen to the ground. The civilians around him looked at him respectfully and fearfully.

Magic is a mysterious thing, and the number of human mages in the entire continent of Azeroth is only a handful. It is also in the city of mages, Dalaran, that you will meet dozens of mages. But elsewhere, there doesn't necessarily have a mage in a city.

After the Scourge captured Lordaeron, many of Lordaeron's surviving mages diverted to Dalaran, with only a handful staying in the Tirisfal glades at the Silver Hand's call, studying magic and battling the undead.

If the Crusaders didn't have Duane, the Arcane Archmage, and if they didn't have the books of the Abbey, then it is estimated that the Crusaders would not have a mage, and perhaps not even an apprentice.

The conditions for becoming a mage are very demanding.

If an ordinary person wants to become a mage, he must be able to understand magic. If it were in Quel'Thalas, the home of the High Elves elves, the elves there would be to that extent, but if you were looking for them from humans, it would be very difficult.

There are too many thoughts in the human heart, and they are not pure enough. It's like why there are so few druids among humans.

However, if you think that you can become an archmage with the gift of affinity magic, then you are wrong.

It's true that affinity magic can make you a magician, but if you want to become an archmage, you'll need to have a lot of knowledge.

Knowledge is a hurdle, and only by mastering a large amount of knowledge can you go further and further on the path of a mage.

Obviously, many humans don't have that kind of condition. In this perilous world, knowledge is a weapon in the hands of the aristocracy. Many people are born commoners, they are the wealth of the nobility, the nobility will not easily teach them knowledge, and many people will only write their own names, some simple text descriptions, and so on.

This is like Locke, who remembers that when he was a child, he had never seen anyone else systematically learn other knowledge. The townspeople did not learn anything other than their names and simple words, history and geography, and other related knowledge, and they rarely left their hometowns, and some of them did not even go to Lordaeron in their entire lives, and did not leave the villages and towns where they lived.

In other worlds, there are some gods and goddesses, and they don't want knowledge to spread widely, because mages have no faith. If you want to use the faith of a mage, it should be faith knowledge.

It is said that when a mage reaches the peak of his achievement, he can easily slaughter the gods, who knows.

Berg walked over to the man who was crushed to the ground by the soldiers, the fire on his body had long since been extinguished. A large chunk of his black robe had been burned, and the idiot was opening his mouth to curse.

"You lowly creatures! How can we understand the greatness of eternal life! We are taking you to the end of the universe! Go to a height you can't reach! ”

"This guy is a lunatic?!" Zodi kicked him a few times, and he was met with constant abuse.

"This man better be locked up, soldier." Berg looked at him solemnly, "He may be from the Cursed Sect!" It's best to tell the commander about this news quickly! ”
