"It's the two of you who are really trustworthy!" Meimei's awakening also heralded the arrival of a new day, and in the hero's entourage space, the surviving recruit had disappeared silently, and all that remained were his two faithful elves. In this sense, this elf white card is the real god card, but it may not be very useful in the later stage......
"There's a vineyard west of the stronghold, and a group of robbers has recently arrived. It's a little far from here, and my men can't patrol that area. I guess you can get some assignments there! Here's my letter of recommendation, would you like to give it a try? Claude asked Iger with a smile.
"New mission? Of course you have to do it! ”
System Prompt: Accept the quest to help the vineyard and ask to give a letter of recommendation from Claude to the head of the farm, and you will gain a little experience after completing the task. This quest can be abandoned!
Typical legwork task, but a must! With the talent of the human race, he is better than ordinary mercenaries in gaining prestige, and the tasks recognized by the system are very good to lose money, as long as they can be completed, they will have a lot of income, not only money or experience, but also cards, so for Master Ai, there is no mistake in killing!
Although it is an errand task, this is obviously an errand task with follow-up, and now it is just a matter of catching the manor line, and it can be easily done!
……
Millie's Vineyard is the largest and most prestigious estate in North County, not only because of its size, but most importantly, because it is rich in high-quality grapes used to make North County wines!
The sunshine and hydrological conditions here are very suitable for growing grapes, and the owner of the manor is a good hand at serving grapes. And with such high-quality grapes, in antique oak barrels, it goes without saying that it must be the purest North County wine......
If you become famous, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble! No, Millie, the beautiful female manor owner, has a headache at this time!
She was young, in her early twenties, and in her prime. His father founded this prestigious estate with his own hands, and it passed to her after his death. Growing up with grapes, she has a knack for growing grapes and making wine. Young and beautiful, with a lucrative property, and single, this will naturally attract a lot of stormy butterflies, but she is clean and self-conscious, and disdains to be in the same stream with those pretentious but useless nobles, but concentrates on serving this acre and three points of land......
But the trouble still comes! Hearing about the abundance of Millie's manor, the Brotherhood got her idea!
To say that this brotherhood is not small, it was founded by the legendary Van Cleef, that is, Dafan. Speaking of this is a very tortuous story, legend has it that Van Cleef was originally an excellent craftsman, under the promise of the nobles of Stormwind City, adhering to a certain sense of mission, personally led the craftsman brothers, abandoned their families and children to the current location of Stormwind City, and did their best, it took more than ten years to build this majestic Stormwind City, he should have retired and received a large sum of money to pay his brothers, and this was the end of the matter. But history is always striking, and the nobility is always so disgusting......
Yes! The aristocrats broke their promise! The promised reward is not at all! Not only that, but in order to cover up the facts, in order to save their face, they slandered the miner brothers for enriching themselves, saying that Van Cleef embezzled a large sum of money that was unwarranted!
O conscience of heaven and earth! In addition to the initial deposit and a large number of materials, almost all of the brothers paid out of their own pockets and pasted all their net worth into it, where did they get the money for them to embezzle! But under the guidance of the powerful public opinion of the fallen aristocracy, they were scolded and pursued by all! It's as if all taxpayers' money has been taken away by these scapegoats!
The miners, who repeatedly begged for wages without success, but were splashed with dirty water, became enraged and launched an uprising under the leadership of Van Cleef! Outcome......
A large number of miners were imprisoned in Stormwind prison, while the rest were forced to escape...... Through the treacherous Elwin Forest, through the Wilderness West, they were driven to the edge of the sea, to where the Mines of Death are now, and formed the Brotherhood, a group of thieves who became the Alliance's notorious wanted criminals......
Although at first, the Brotherhood's plight was sympathetic, but then it was very different. The Brotherhood absorbs a large number of peripheral members, and all of them are absorbed regardless of the good and the bad, and the organization of the Brotherhood has long lost its original intention and has degenerated into a criminal organization that integrates assassination, kidnapping, extortion, theft, robbery, murder, and protection money! And now, they're eyeing Millie's Vineyard......
The manor has some private soldiers, but these private soldiers can only barely maintain the defense of the main building of the manor in the face of the massive influx of the Diafi Brotherhood of Thieves, relying on a strong fence to resist the thieves from invading arbitrarily, as for the periphery? Everywhere there are thieves who trample on crops and grapes, and these guys who have not succeeded in grabbing the money are angry with the infrastructure in the fields, and even organize the looting of valuable crops on the periphery, and Millie has nothing to do about it!
It's not that I didn't think to ask the official army to help, but every time the officers and soldiers came, the thieves withdrew, and when they were gone, these annoying guys returned. The most important thing is that these officers and soldiers are also white-eyed wolves who can't be fed, and every time they are asked to send troops, they have to use a lot of money to bribe the nobles and their leaders...... Even if there is a mountain of gold, these guys must be defeated!
So Millie was simply anxious at this time, and she was at a loss...... And at this time, Egger came, with a letter of recommendation from Captain Claude, as a personal mercenary.
"If you're willing to help me kill countless thieves in the vineyard and bring at least 8 Brotherhood masks, I can pay you 1 silver coin."
"If you can help me break at least 8 large barrels that the thieves use to carry grapes, I can also pay you 1 silver."
"Only, with all due respect, can you really do it?"
Millie is very beautiful, with the weakness of a typical human woman, probably a long-term deal with grapes and wine, standing next to her can smell an intoxicating special fragrance, is a beautiful girl with a lot of "taste".
When Iger showed her Captain Claude's handwritten letter, although she trusted the captain's vision, did the obviously thin young man in front of her really have the strength to help her?
"Huh!" Egg smiled bitterly, sure enough, no matter what, his body, which has few taels of flesh, is a hard injury. Others are full of how to lose weight, but he is desperately "gaining weight" these days, is it a bit ironic?
A small fireball condensed in his hand, and he said in his rotten line: "Never despise a mage, pretty young lady!" ”
"I'm sorry! I didn't expect you to be a noble mage, I apologize for that, it also shows that Captain Claude's vision is no problem, thank you for reaching out in time! Millie was surprised when the other party revealed her identity, where the mage is a mysterious and powerful symbol, although I don't know where the power is, but ...... Everyone has an unconscious mentality, doesn't they?
"Please allow me to serve you lunch, at least partially to express my previous apologies for being rude to you, please don't refuse!"
Of course I won't say no! Do you have a free lunch and nibble on dry bread?
Xu Shi's status as a mage gave her confidence, and Xu Shi did feel that she really shouldn't suspect a noble mage, so Miss Millie personally cooked a few seasonal side dishes for him, plus a bottle of home-brewed wine......
"Please enjoy slowly, Master Mage!" She politely added a glass of wine for him: "Please try the home-made wine, I can get this wine here, I hope you don't mind!" ”
"Don't mind, don't mind! Everyone knows that North County wine is very valuable in the market, but I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to taste it, which is a great honor! Won't you sit down and have a drink? "Young Master Ai also seems to be a little more elegant......
"Okay, then I'll pay the adults for a drink!" Millie sat down dignifiedly, she was really very curious about this skinny mage who had just come of age and was a few years younger than herself, he had just casually displayed a fire-type magic, and it was easy to come by, so there was no doubt about his strength at all.
In a war-torn environment like Azero's Big 6, there is one person who will never be taken lightly, and that is ...... Overmatch!
The more war-torn the era, the more respected the strong become. You can not be elegant here, you can not be polite, you can be reckless, but there is one thing you can't, and that is ...... Weak!
Weakness is sin!
Therefore, Millie's expression at this time may be difficult for some people to understand, but in this specific environment, it is very normal! She has a skill, has the means to make a living, but does not have the corresponding force, she is a weak person who needs to be protected by the strong, so she must have enough respect for the strong who may help her! Iger looked weak, but that was just skinny, not his strength. As a mage who dares to come out alone to take on the task, Millie must show enough respect......
Completely different from the peaceful era, the big 6 has countless creatures being killed every day, countless weak people are devoured by the strong, and if you want to survive in this cruel world, you must learn some of the most basic life-saving skills. And that's all Millie is showing at the moment......
