Chapter 100: Count Presto

Walking out of the blizzard, Oss turned around and looked at the cliff in front of him, and for a while, the thoughts and emotions in his heart could not be clarified or explained. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"King!"

"You're out, king!"

Half a day passed, and the dwarves did not leave the place. As soon as Osna's striking figure came out of the blizzard, the dwarves immediately ran from the makeshift camp not far away, shouting.

Oss heard the familiar voices behind him, but didn't turn around immediately. He shook his head slightly, and said softly in Chinese: "Treasure! ”

No one but Oss himself could hear or understand the words of true farewell. And after saying this, Oss had a smile on his face, turned around and walked over to the dwarves: "Don't worry, everything is going well. ”

It wasn't until he saw Oss that Vandal Thunderspear's heart was completely put back in his stomach. Although he had great confidence in the Children of the Mountains, he did not have the slightest trust in the orcs: "The orcs really agree to cooperate with us?" The King of the Mountains is on top, it's incredible! ”

Oss nodded and said, "Let's get out of here first, the frost wolf clan can't be exposed, let's talk as we go." By the way, sweep away all traces of us! ”

"Yes, King!" The six dwarves present answered in unison.

Soon, Oss and his party swept all traces away, then called back the lone griffons to feed, and flew away from the hidden canyon in the southwest corner of the entire Alterac Valley.

Flying east-north, Oss recounted to the dwarves what he had said to Durotan. And the six dwarves who came to the Alterac Valley to carry out a secret mission this time can be regarded as the highest level of the dwarven kingdom, and it is natural to keep their mouths shut.

After listening to the entire content, Vandal did not express any opinions, but sighed with emotion: "This Durotan is really different from the orcs we fought before!" King, is this what orcs are meant to be? ”

"Not exactly, Durotan's personality is extremely rare among orcs, and it has something to do with his experiences as a teenager." Os, who had regained his Terran size and rode a griffin, buried his head in the griffin's thick feathers and said, "Orcs have many advantages and many disadvantages, just like us Terrans, dwarves, and gnomes. All I can say is that orcs are definitely not evil. ”

The total area of the Alterac Valley was not very large, and by the time Oss finished speaking and talking to the dwarves, the flying party had reached the edge of this snow-capped mountain range.

Descending along the steep mountain, the snow is gradually left behind as the altitude drops, and the temperature rises significantly. At the foot of the Alterac Mountains, just north, is a long, narrow corridor of lush meadows bordering Lake Lordamere.

Through the information given by his godfather, Baron Rivendell, Oss looked at the lush green grass under him, which was completely made by magic, and sighed in his heart at the ability of the Black Dragon King Nesario!

After a short time, seeing a village and town where the human race gathered in front of them, the dwarves immediately found a suitable place and landed.

"Mission accomplished, what's next?" Oss jumped off the griffin and asked.

"Don't you need us to follow you, king?"

"What are you going to do, king?"

"Big brother, why don't you take us with you?"

The dwarves asked in a voice.

"I'm just going to meet an Earl of the Kingdom of Alterac and talk about something." Oss still wasn't lying, but he was still only half of what he said. And his desire to go directly to the Black Dragon King Nesario was only known to Chromie.

Sure enough, when they heard that Oss was just going to meet the nobles of a human kingdom, the dwarves were not interested.

Oss smiled and said, "Now that the mission has been completed, if you don't want to go back so early, why don't you go to Lordaeron." The second brother protected Fink and went to the elven kingdom, but the eldest brother and Gerbin are still there, Brian, you still know the way to the camp, right? ”

The dwarves' attention was immediately diverted by Os, and Brian patted his chest and said, "As long as I have been to a place once, I can find it with my eyes closed!" ”

As soon as Brian said this, the dwarves began to think again. In the end, Uncle McGrath, who is the president of the Explorers' Guild, forcibly pulled Vandal and decided to go to the royal city of Lordaeron: "Let's go, Vandall, it's rare to come north." Besides, there haven't been any wars in the kingdom recently, and the orcs have already withdrawn, haven't they? ”

"That'...... All right. Vandal agreed, and asked Os, "How long are you going to stay here, king?" Don't need us to pick you up? ”

Hearing this, Oss's heart suddenly burst out for no reason, and his brows furrowed. However, he immediately concealed his uneasiness and nervousness, and replied, "No, this is only a lake away from Lordaeron, and it is only a few hours by boat." Ahem, though...... This time I came to this earl, it is a secret, including the follow-up secret operation, remember not to make this matter public. ”

The dwarves present were all stunned, and the advice was too abrupt. However, with the big hearts of the dwarves, they didn't think much about it, because in their understanding, their king was in the territory of the human race, how could something happen!

A few minutes later, Osmus sent the dwarves north, and walked ten miles ahead to the village. As he got closer to the village, he realized that it was not only unwalled, but almost without any defensive structures!

Arriving at the outskirts of the village, Oss looked at the irregular fields on both sides of the road, and the cabbage that had grown to the size of a water tank in the fields, and couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of Azeroth's creations again!

After entering the village, the people in the village seemed to see outsiders rarely, and they all stared at Oss with fresh eyes.

Until now, just as the people in the village were curious about Os, Oss was indeed curious about the village. For compared to the villages he had seen in the East Dalon Mill Woodlands, the people here seemed to have no sense of crisis at all, and it was already very strange that there were no walls or watchtowers built alone.

Finally, Oss took a closer look, took the initiative to walk towards a younger person, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am an adventurer from the kingdom of Lordaeron. ”

"Uh...... Hello, this is the kingdom of Alterac, and our village is the domain of Lord Count Presto. The young man was not flustered, because Oss had changed into an ordinary leather armor at this time, and his smile was very friendly.

The first sentence got the information he wanted to know, and Os's smile became more sincere, almost "Your village is awesome!" It's beautiful, it's comfortable, it's completely different from my hometown! Oh yes, my hometown is in East Dalon Mill! ”

The young man's face unsurprisingly showed a proud look: "Of course! Our village has one of the best, best, best lords! ”

Young people have little culture, and adjectives are very scarce. However, his heartfelt smile, and the repetition of "best" three times in a row, still made Oss feel his respect and love for his lord.

"Oh? Lord Lord Presto? Oss looked appropriately interested, and asked curiously, "I don't think you even have a wall or a watchtower here, so wouldn't it be dangerous?" ”

"How can it be dangerous!" The young man replied immediately.

At this time, the villagers who came to watch, after hearing Oss's question, spoke out one after another:

"There are no fierce beasts within a radius of one hundred and ten kilometers from our Darende Town, what danger can there be!"

"Yes, since Lord Count Presto came here, the beasts have been extinct, and even wild beasts and small animals are rare!"

"It's nothing, if you want to say the biggest change - it's still the landform!" An elderly man said, and his words immediately resonated with the surrounding villagers.

Oss smiled and said to the crowd around him: "Actually, I came here to admire it, Lord Priest changed the landscape and created such a large area of suitable soil for the Alterac Kingdom, it is a miracle!" Ah, just before I entered the village, I saw the cabbage in those fields, tsk, that growth is really good! ”

"Haha, the young man is so discerning!"

"Then you've come to the right place, tell you, we used to be snowy here!"

Hearing the words of the villagers, Oss sighed in his heart for the simplicity of the villagers and sighed very much for their ignorance. Thinking of this, Oss suddenly remembered a saying from the time of the earth: the less you know, the happier you may be!

"Ahem, everyone, I want to ask you something, okay?" Oss raised his voice, drawing everyone's attention.

"Say it, young man."

"I've come all the way from Lordaeron this time, and I really want to meet Lord Count Presto. Can you tell me where your lord's mansion is? ”

Suddenly everyone around them burst into laughter, and the young man at the beginning patted Oss on the shoulder and said, "Hey, you're too polite, we thought you wanted to ask something important that we didn't know!" You follow the road at your feet all the way east, out of the village and continue walking, until you see a manor house facing east and west, and that's it! ”

"Oh, thank you so much." Oss smiled and bowed slightly to the villagers.

"Young man." "Count Presto, though he is very kind to us, almost never shows his face, and does not even personally inquire about such important matters as taxes. To be honest, I'm afraid you won't be able to see adults when you go. ”

Oss nodded, in understanding. Through this conversation, he had learned what he wanted to know. For example, the town of Darlunde is almost extinct, and it should be because of Longwei; Changing the landscape and growing crops should be the effect of dragon magic; And Count Presto doesn't show up, or even collect taxes, it's naturally because His Majesty the Black Dragon King doesn't care about these mortal things at all!

"Thank you for telling me so much, but I still want to go, in case the Earl is willing to see me!" Oss thanked the villagers again and prepared to leave.

"Haha, I wish you a smooth meeting with your lordship." The old man took the lead and said, "It's already half an hour now, if the adults don't want to see you, let's go back here and rest tonight." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first." Oss smiled and waved goodbye to everyone, in a good mood, "If you don't see me, I'll come back tonight to bother everyone." ”
