Chapter 305: Dalaran
Chapter 305: Dalaran
After Vane and the others rested for a day in Nanhai Town, they began to walk in the direction of Dalaran.
"Damn, there are so many bandits here, and every time you encounter a wood, there is a gang of bandits hiding in it." After repelling a gang of bandits once more, Barka said impatiently.
"Hehe, is this impatient?" Listening to Barka's impatient complaints, Valera immediately sneered and said to Barka: "If you know that these bandits are all people from nearby human villages and towns, I'm afraid it's not as simple as impatience. ”
"What?" Balkaton's eyes widened as he looked at Valeera, "How so?" If that's the case, then who else can travel safely? ”
"I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's true." Valeera disdainfully drew the dagger stuck in the thief's neck and said, "These guys will only attack a sparsely numbered team like ours. Those caravans were grouped together to form a huge convoy of hundreds of people, and the nobles would travel with a private army of dozens or hundreds of men who were fully equipped. In this way, there will be no more of these robbers on the road. ”
"In other words, if we set off with the caravan bound for Dalaran, we wouldn't have encountered these thieves, would we?" Barka listened to Valeera's explanation and suddenly realized.
"That's it. So the reason why we encounter so many thieves is the result of the private actions of a few of us. Valilla wiped the blood from the dagger and inserted it into its sheath before saying, "It is because of these thieves that the adventurer industry has flourished so much. ”
"What does this have to do with adventurers?" Barka dared to ask with some curiosity.
"Normally, many of these thieves are adventurers, who, if not hired and with a small number of people departing at the same time, will infiltrate the caravan as thieves and rob the caravan, and if they are hired, escort the caravan safely to the next city. Anyway, as long as they can make money, they don't care what they have to do. Valera said to Barca indifferently, "The merchants, on the other hand, have to choose between being looted and risking their lives and paying some profit to hire the adventurers, and as a rule, the merchants choose the second." ”
"It sounds very confusing." Anna then said, "Since they want to be hired, why don't they set up a bigger adventure team, it's more competitive, isn't it?" ”
"No, the kingdom and the nobility will not allow an adventure squad of more than ten people to exist, because once there are more than ten people, it is not an adventurer squad, but an army. For the sake of domination, any uncontrollable contingent of more than ten people will be suppressed and wiped out by the kingdom and the aristocracy. Therefore, on the surface, there is no team of adventurers with more than ten people, and even if there is, it is organized by the nobles or the kingdom itself. Valera calmly told Anna the truth.
Time went back two more days. Vane and the others quickly and quickly advanced towards Dalaran.
"Damn, there were a lot of thieves two days ago, why can't you see any of them in the past two days?" Barka wondered as he hurried, "They're probably trying to get together and attack like us." ”
"It's impossible." Valeira, who was walking in the front, said to Barka without looking back: "It should be that we killed a large number of thieves two days ago, and the reputation has spread, and all the thieves in the vicinity already know that we are a piece of iron, and no one wants to hit the iron plate themselves." ”
For the next ten days, as Valera said, there were no more thieves who came here to rob them. Sometimes, it is obvious that there are thieves nearby, but the team of Vane and a few of the High Elves is so conspicuous that there is no group of thieves who are idle and run to find death.
After more than ten days of travel, Dalaran was already in sight.
Entering the city, Vane and the others found that the city was much cleaner than the town of Nanhai. From time to time, you can see a few patrolling human warriors throughout the city.
However, this is not the soldiers of the Dalaran Kingdom, because there is no army in the entire Dalaran Kingdom, and everything is done by the followers of the mages. There are more than a thousand human mages in the entire Dalaran owner, and these human mages are all nobles, and they don't need to worry about economic problems, and they can freely study what they want to study.
In addition, there are thousands of not so wealthy human mages who serve the seven kingdoms of mankind and serve as magic advisors, with the help of which ordinary human kingdoms and nobles can learn about magic, and these mages can also use the financial resources of the human kingdom and nobles to conduct their own research.
Of course, although Dalaran is a relatively free city, that doesn't mean it's okay to mess around, otherwise, mages are willing to let troublemakers taste the taste of being attacked by magic, and many mages are very eager to have humans help them test their research.
Vane and the others were curious about everything inside Dalaran, but now was not the time for them to visit Dalaran. Now that they were in Dalaran, the first thing they had to do was to visit Anna's father, who had not seen him for many years.
"This is it." Anna led Vane and the others to a slightly modest house compared to the surrounding area, then walked to the door and knocked on it.
After waiting for a while, there was silence in the house, and there was no sound. Anna reluctantly turned to the others and said, "It seems that my father is not here, let's come back later." ”
"That's the only way, let's go find an inn to stay in first." Vane nodded back.
They hadn't walked a few steps when they were confronted by a High Elf, who felt a little strange when he saw Vane, and didn't greet Anna until he saw him, "Isn't this Anna?" Have you come to your father? ”
Anna was a little surprised to hear the words of the High Elf on the other side, and it took a while to remember who this High Elf was, but she still couldn't remember his name. So I had to respond: "Yes, but my father doesn't seem to be there, do you know where he went?" ”
"I'm afraid you won't see your father now." The High Elf said happily to Anna, "He is now returning to Quel'Thalas with Prince Kael'thas. If you want to meet him, you either have to wait until a year or two later, or you can go to Silvermoon City and give it a try. ”
"Forget it, even if we go to Silvermoon City, we won't be able to enter the inner city to meet Prince Kael'thas and the people who follow him. When my father comes back, please tell him for me, and say that I have come to see him. Hearing that her father had returned to the kingdom of Quel'Salas with Prince Kael'thas made her look a little discouraged.
