Chapter 21: Breaking Alchemist Season 2
As spring turns to autumn, the Wild West is once again in harvest season, and the Wild West should be a busy and joyful scene in previous years: the grain merchants are driving their wagons around to buy the wheat that has just been harvested from the wheat fields, and the small traders are also carrying the goods in demand from Stormwind City, and the children are very fond of the candy and all kinds of snacks sold by the small traders, and they follow the small vendors' stalls all the way until they are dragged home by their parents' ears.

However, since the gnolls of the Elwyn Forest wandered to the Wild West for some reason last year and built a fortress in the mountains of the south, the inhabitants of the Wild West have not heard any good news, first Stormwind was destroyed by the dragons, and when they heard the news, many parents like the Alextons who sent their children to Stormwind because of the rampant gnoll almost fainted.
Fortunately, the children returned to the Wild West under the protection of a team of Stormwind soldiers not long after, but before the residents of the Wild West could breathe a sigh of relief because of these children who had escaped death, there was even worse news among the soldiers who escorted the children, due to the destruction of Stormwind, the front line against the orcs had collapsed, and the regent Ser Anduin Lothar had taken the refugees of Stormwind City to the north with the troops who had retreated from the front line, and now the Wild West had been abandoned by Stormwind. When the orcs take over the Elwyn Forest, the western wilderness will become an island surrounded by the green waves of the orcs, and this news is confirmed by the captain of these guards, Mr. Solomon.
So under the blow of these unfavorable news, the people of the Western Wilderness are now panicking, and of course no one is in the mood to harvest the ripe wheat, and even if the wheat is harvested, no merchant will come to the Western Wilderness to buy it.
However, when everyone is at a loss, there are still some people who are sticking to their duties, Hank, the sheriff of Yuexi Town, is a conscientious and responsible, selfless and good sheriff, he knows very well that in the current situation, there will definitely be outlaws who can't help jumping out and want to take advantage of the chaos, he knows the ugliness of human nature very well, but whether these careerists can get what they want or not, it will lead to an already difficult situation even worse, so whether it is for his own duty, In order to protect the safety of his relatives, he must be vigilant.
And when he thinks of his relatives, he thinks of his poor sister Skyler, since the disappearance of his stupid brother-in-law White, his sister has had an extremely difficult life to make money and take care of a pair of children in the family, and now he has encountered such a troubled time, which is even worse.
That is why when he got off work, he decided to take a detour to his poor sister's house to visit his sister and his little nephew and niece, and then go back to his own house to rest.
Unexpectedly, when he came to the door of his sister's house, he heard the voice of a man in the house, accompanied by the sound of his sister scolding excitedly, he immediately became keenly aware that his sister might be in danger, so he immediately kicked open the hidden door, and in his sister's surprised gaze, he knocked the man who was facing away from the door to the ground, and then skillfully cut the man's hands behind his back, and then looked up and said to the stunned sister, "Can you help me find a rope?" ”
Hearing Hank speak, Skyler reacted and said loudly to Hank, "Wait a minute, you're mistaken, he's White!" ”
Hank let go of his hand as he explained, "I thought you guys were arguing, how did he get back?" ”
"I don't know, he didn't say anything, he knocked you down."
At this moment, White on the ground finally woke up, only to see him look at his wife and smile bitterly: "I was captured by the gnolls, and they are much gentler to me than you." ”
Skyler's eyes turned red, and he whispered in defense: "Who let you go for three years, there is no news at all, and do you know how I have been here in the past few years?" You ruthless fellow, I thought you wouldn't come back. As he spoke, tears were about to fall.
White had no choice but to reassure his wife with kind words, and when he finally made her happy, Hank, who had been listening for a while, began to ask questions: "How could those gnolls be kind enough to let you come back, and Jesse, who disappeared with you at the time?" ”
White then said to Hank, "Jesse was killed by the gnolls three years ago, but fortunately I can survive with a little alchemy, I worked hard with the gnolls for three years and was recently released." ”
Hank immediately asked, "Those contraband from three years ago have something to do with you, right?" As soon as you and Jesse disappeared, those contraband never showed up in the market! ”
"Okay, I'll admit, I made those contraband, Jesse was in charge of the sales, and when I found out that you were looking into the contraband business, I knew that one day you would find out about it." White decided not to hide it anymore.
However, as soon as Skyler heard that her husband had also engaged in the contraband business, she suddenly became angry, and slapped White hard, while loudly counting White: "I knew you were a bastard, a good life, but you actually did such a dangerous thing, I still stupidly believed that you must have a reason not to go home for the past three years, but you did such an immoral thing, I am really blind!" ”
Hank hurriedly stopped his sister and continued to ask White, "Was Jesse really killed by the Gnoll?" I don't think the gnolls will let you go back because you know how to do alchemy, you better be honest, or my sister really won't forgive you! ”
When Skyler heard his brother say this, he glared at White fiercely and said angrily, "I can't accept such a person." ”
White was really angry when he saw his wife, so he obediently explained everything he had seen in the Riverpaw Clan to his wife and Hank, especially Hogg, the jackal's vision, which surprised Hank and Skyler.
"Sometimes, I feel like I'm not dealing with a jackal at all." White concludes by concluding.
"Are you saying that the Riverpaw Clan came here from the Elwyn Forest on the advice of this gnoll?" Hank was even more confused.
"No, that's the gnoll's plan, it's the lord of the riverpaws." White confessed, "Even I was released because it needed me to speak to the people of the Wild West, and it wanted the people of the Wild West to join him." ”
"What? Do you think we're going to join a gnoll? Skyler asked, forgetting her previous grievances with White for a moment.
"I still think it's weird, but it's not your lie." Hank believed White, "But I need to see this amazing gnoll first!" ”
