Chapter 159: The Corner of the Stonemasons' Guild
Now, for some unknown reason, the gnolls have lifted the siege of the Sentinel Collar. It is important for them to understand the unknown cause, but it is not the most important thing to do now. In their position, the most important thing to think about now is actually what they can do to take advantage of this opportunity.
No, after Grian and his assistants gathered in the command room shared the first-hand information he had personally obtained. None of the people in this group were entangled in what was the reason for the release of the group of dog heads. Instead, they all started thinking about it at the first time, and now they can take the opportunity to do something to gain a little advantage.
After a few brief discussions, Grian Stallman's most important partner, and the current president of the Fat Stonemasons Guild, with whom he has lived and grown up since his youth: Baldwin. Van Cleef was the first to speak his mind:
"I will take my brothers to repair the surrounding walls as soon as possible. If I had time to spare, I arranged for a few men to extend the wooden fence to the north in the direction of the Sardinia farm. ”
As Baldwin spoke, the rest of the room fell silent.
The first reason for such a reaction is naturally because when other people speak, the rest of the people should consciously keep quiet, which is the basic etiquette that a person with status should maintain.
Second, because of the great craftsman's dedication to the Sentinel Leader, he also won the respect of the others present.
And Grian, after listening to Baldwin's plan, nodded very simply without any hesitation.
"I see, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll cheer up the boys and protect your little bumps. ”
Hearing Grian say this, Baldwin immediately laughed twice, and then responded in a joking tone:
"Old man, don't underestimate my masons. In terms of strength alone, the rookies under your command may not be opponents. ”
"Yes, yes. You don't have to stress it to me. ”
"If you know, it's good."
After dropping this sentence, Baldwin looked around at the others in the command room and continued:
"Now that it's decided, then I won't stay here. Now I'm going to gather people to discuss the construction plan and prepare the materials. I'll take someone to work early tomorrow morning. ”
After saying this, Baldwin immediately turned and walked in the direction of the gate.
Seeing Baldwin's posture of saying that he would leave, Grian first shook his head with a wry smile, and then shouted at the back of his old friend:
"If you need anything, just tell Scarlett, she'll have it ready for you."
Hearing Grian's instructions, Baldwin did not look back but raised his right hand directly with his back to Grian's direction, and said in a rather casual tone: "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you when it's time to ask for something." ”
The people in the command room, including Grian, thought Baldwin would leave after saying this. So, I didn't care about his next move.
Unexpectedly, after this sturdy man said this, not only did he not leave, but quickly returned to the command room. Then, in front of everyone's astonished eyes, the one said to Grian in a consultative tone:
"That, old man. It just so happened that I forgot to tell you something. ”
"Well, what's the matter?"
In the face of Grian's casual question, Baldwin rubbed his hands like an honest farmer before he said:
"Well, Vanessa said she learned a new dish from Satin's mother, so I'd like to ask you to come over and try it in the evening."
Hearing what Baldwin said, everyone present collectively sighed.
That's certainly not to say that there's anything strange brewing between Vanessa and Grian. It's these guys who are sighing again, Baldwin. Van Cleef, the current president of the Masons Guild, has a real attitude towards his daughter
Heavy daughter control, you know.
I think that at the beginning, the pig-headed aristocrat in Stormwind City didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping, and he actually took a bunch of white strips to offset the construction cost of the stonemason's union to rebuild Stormwind City. The hot-tempered Baldwin received this, and immediately prepared to gather people after learning the news, and rushed to the king's quarter of Stormwind City to talk to those pig-headed nobles and use the stonemason's hammer in their hands to talk about life.
As a result, just as the majestic and high-spirited was about to go out with a group of negotiated stonemasons, Vanessa, who was also rushed to hear the news. Van Cleef was blocked at the gate.
Facing her blushing and thick-necked father, this 18-year-old girl didn't feel stage fright at all, so she stood at the gate with her hands crossed and threw a sentence at her father:
"Dad, are you going to take the big guys to the door and give those guys an excuse to justifiably deduct all your wages?"
If you change to a random person, even if it's Grian, who grew up with him. Stallman, and even His Majesty Varian, King of Stormwind. Ureon.
Dare to talk to Baldwin like this in this situation. When Van Cleef spoke, the angry Mason Chairman must not have said a word, first hammered a hammer to let the other party understand what the mason's anger was, and then he thought about what the other party had said.
But only against his own daughter, Baldwin. Van Cleef is like tofu caught in brine, which will not have a temper at all.
No, he was gambled by his daughter, and Baldwin just tried to restrain his anger and slowly explain the situation to his daughter.
For example, those salaries are all paid for our hard work and sweat, and they are all we deserve. Those nobles are not keeping their contracts by doing so, and we have the right to get our dues back. And so on and so forth.
Baldwin's original intention at that time was to persuade his baby daughter to get out of the way, but once he calmed down, Baldwin was not stupid but quite smart. Van Cleve came to his senses without his daughter reminding him, and there must be something strange in it when he thought that this was wrong.
The group of nobles above seemed to have already laid out their pockets, waiting for themselves to lead someone to make trouble.
This is not good, you can't follow the wishes of those pig heads.
In the end, Baldwin, who had a turn in his head, simply did the opposite. He sent his daughter to deliver a letter with earnest wording explaining the whole situation to the Archbishop of the Cathedral of the Light. Then, I implore the archbishop to pass it on to King Varian of Stormwind. His Majesty Wrynn.
After doing this, Baldwin moved quickly and all the members of the entire Masons' Guild to the Wild West before the nobles took extreme action.
