Chapter 43: The Foundation Grows Firm
The human buildings of Azeroth are mainly made of strong and resilient wood, and the houses of the common people are all made of wood. Even tall stone castles are inlaid with a layer of wood. High-rise buildings such as the Lord's House Church Grand Hotel in Bled are still made of wood in addition to the load-bearing stone for the walls.
Azeroth is primitive and austere, unlike Earth, which has a wide variety of decorations such as paints, wallpapers, and pendants that adorn the house. The Bled house, for example, is polished and smooth wood, with the occasional worthless abstract oil painting and no other decoration.
Of course, it cannot be said that there are no luxurious decorations, simplicity is just a common phenomenon. For example, today's aristocracy has risen in luxury after hundreds of years of peace, but after all, the time is too short to reach the hall of elegance. According to the earth, it is a nouveau riche, and the taste is really not high.
Brad listened to the rhythmic sound of himself stepping on the wooden floor, and his mind gradually calmed down.
The crowd at the table saw Morgana bring Brad to the dining room and saluted, and Brad responded one by one and took the main seat. Morgana asks Brad's permission to beckon Aunt Susan to serve the food.
Brad first looked at the two who were a little nervous, Mante Fang, and Karter Liaoyuan, and said with a smile: "How is it, are your clansmen still used to living?" ”
Mante Fang's eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Brad. "I never thought that we would live in a warm and clean house like a human being, and eat a decent breakfast comfortably, and my people would be very satisfied, and thank our hosts for their kindness."
The centaur khan was more direct, and said firmly: "My clan dares to die for the master." ”
"That's good, if you have any requests, just discuss them with Morgana. Especially Carthus, I know that you are not used to living in the current house, so for the time being, it will be a few days for the time being, and the territory will stabilize in the specific planning. ”
"Master, don't bother......" Carter hastened to explain, what a day in Kalimdor had been, and he was still in fear of starvation. A large number of high-quality bows and arrows can only be exchanged with goblins for black and hard bread, and other luxuries are not to be considered.
Since being bought by Bled, the worst thing is that the white bread and jam tube is full. In particular, young and elderly people can eat broth every day even on the way to the territory.
The simplest barbecue with human seasonings was something he had never tasted before.
Moreover, he had heard Caitlyn say that when the young people arrived in the territory, they would be nurtured by the territory and could go to school with human children. With such excellent treatment, where would he dare to ask for anything else.
Brad waved his hand and said: "This must be done, well, if you don't understand in the future, you can find the Golden Tooth to understand, and you can get close to each other." ”
"Don't worry, master, I will be a good guide." Golden Fang reassured as he took a sip of ale.
Morgana instructed Jasper to place the food on the long table.
Because of the time, there are not many types of food. That is, each person has fresh fish soup, mutton soup and hot cider in front of them, and in the middle are two roast suckling pigs, a roast lamb, a large plate of blood sausages and steaming golden bread.
Brad picked up the hot cider and said to Lux, "Welcome to Jasper Collar." ”
"Thank you." Lux and Brad clinked their glasses and took a sip.
She has become a hero of the territory, as long as the materials are ready, she can buy hero soul crystals, and her subordinates have settled down. Brad gave Sonorous Rose a large unused mansion to serve as the home of their union. Lux also began to preside over the church.
After Brad took a bite of blood sausage, breakfast officially began. The big guys are tired, and they all have a big appetite. Morgana was also in a better mood and kept helping Brad with the food.
The most uneaten thing is that Gold Tooth is holding a leg of lamb and nibbling and pouring wine, while Mante and Carter are much more restrained, but they are also devoted to food. Brad was going to discuss things while eating, but when he saw them like this, he dismissed the idea.
After a gust of wind swept away, everyone came to the conference hall for a meeting.
After everyone was seated, Mante Fangs couldn't wait to speak: "Master, the battlefield has been cleaned up, and all the corpses have been burned. All the confiscated weapons and backpacks were placed in the warehouse at the request of Lord Morgana. ”
Brad thought for a moment and said, "Have you found those scattered gnolls and kobolds?" ”
"Master, the kobold has moved into the mine. The gnolls were arranged by the Mante patriarch. Golden Tooth said.
Brad nodded with satisfaction, just didn't run away.
"Moore, tell me about our casualties." As soon as Brad finished saying this, the atmosphere became solemn.
Moore took a deep breath and said, "Seven of the Jasper Guard veterans were killed and five were seriously wounded, twenty-two recruits were killed and fifteen were seriously wounded, four hundred and thirty-five gnolls were killed and one hundred and twenty-two were seriously wounded. There were no deaths, but six were seriously injured. Spiders are undamaged. Centaurs are unharmed. Three hundred and eighty-two adventurers died, and now they have been resurrected. ”
Brad's heart was heavy, he didn't expect so many Jade Guards to die.
"The clerk recorded that whether it is Jade Wei or the Gnoll, including the Jade Wei who died before, in addition to the established compensation, you can also go to the lord's mansion every month to receive monthly money. Children who have been orphaned will find a house for the time being, and they will be raised by the lord's mansion. This resolution has become a common practice and an announcement is issued. ”
"The master is merciful!" Mante Fangs didn't expect his race to be treated the same as humans, and he couldn't help but be grateful.
"Oh, yes. And the adventurers we hire, they give them some allowance every day during their weakness, and as for the price, let's calculate it according to the wages of absenteeism in the territory. ”
At this time, Maria said: "After the adventurer of the state of war can only be resurrected weakly after death, therefore, the adventurers of the Brilliant Guild and the King's Guild plus those deserters, a total of 1,546 people, were captured, including the leader of the Brilliant Guild. ”
"Master, will you give them to me?" When the golden tooth heard that there was another slave to call, his eyes lit up.
Brad shook his head and said, "Those adventurers hiding in the mines can give it to you, as for the kings and the guys of the Brilliant Guild to bring shackles and be responsible for the hygiene of the territory, it just so happens that the jackals and centaurs are not very familiar with the human way of life, so leave it to them." Well, you can give them a little hope, pick one of the best performers every month, and release them. ”
Morgana took note of them one by one, looked up and said, "Let me tell you about the current state of the territory." ”
Seeing Brad nodding, Morgana said, "At present, there are two thousand three hundred and fifty-six humans in the Jasper Territory, and the number of people on the farm is three thousand four hundred. Most of the people who lived on the farm hoped that the young master would allow them to return to the village. ”
"There are eight hundred more kobolds, nearly two thousand in total, and they are in charge of the mines. There are 256 violent bears, and the number is still increasing, and they are responsible for the security of the eastern part of the territory. The number of spiders is nearly five hundred. Responsible for the security of the northern side of the territory. ”
"The gnolls have set up a special area for gnolls in the vacant houses south of Jasper Village, numbering about six thousand, and are responsible for the security of the south of the territory. Due to the special size of the centaurs, there is no suitable place, so they are also temporarily arranged in the south, numbering about 1,000. Five hundred goblins worked hard and arranged to be near the mine. ”
"The total population is about 15,000, which fully meets the standard of a high-level village, and as long as the population exceeds 20,000, it can become a primary town."
Brad nodded, knowing that he was basically on his feet, and he was almost no longer afraid of those guilds making small moves. After all, most of these 10,000 are combatable arms, and their deterrent power has increased significantly.
"If there is nothing else, then let's discuss the rescue of little Jasmine." ……
