Chapter 016: Sadness Van Cleef

"I'm going to 'touch' the corpse and see what I can do. I rub, [Thief's Blade], one-handed sword, damage 13~25, speed 2.6, agility +3. Why didn't it get the axe just now? Meng Xiaofan took the lead again this time and sent out the equipment.

"Haha, Xiaofan, I thank you." After dividing the equipment again, Zhang Ming led a few people to the ironclad ship built by the Van Cleeff organization, and it was reported that Van Cleeff and his Defia Brotherhood would drive this warship in the future to destroy the Stormwind City he had built. As soon as Zhang Ming got on the boat, he said to a few people, "There are 3 bosses, Cookie is a chef, there is no difficulty, and the captain of the green skin is not difficult, let's go, just crush it." Saying a few people, the mobs on the way to the cookie were cleared, and the cookie was fought, this fishman chef did not bring any difficulty to Zhang Ming and the others, leaving his own cooking tool [Cookie's Blowing Stick], blue "color" one-handed hammer, damage 20~39, speed 2.8, strength +3, and finally assigned to Meng Xiaofan's zs.

"This hammer is also teasing, blowing the fire stick, haha, Xiaofan will be a cook in the future." Pan Jun saw this one-handed hammer and laughed.

"Cut, you're just jealous that my weapons and shields are basket now." But Meng Xiaofan disagreed and refuted Pan Jun.

"My gloves are still blue." Seeing this, Pan Jun also said.

"Okay, look at the two of you, like children, let's go, there are two bosses, the next boss is a goblin, Captain Greenskin, with our cooperation now, it should also be a small problem, T pull, I'll hold on, and then DPS will output hard." Zhang Ming hurriedly organized an argument between the two.

"Can I use ground equipment?" But Meng Xiaofan asked Zhang Ming.

"It seems to be, I can't remember clearly, but if you kill it, you'll know, you're still grinding here." With that, several people returned to the front from the rear of the ship where Cookie was hiding, and along the slope next to the ship, cleared the elite Defia thieves. As they walked to the deck of the ironclad, they spotted a green-skinned goblin wearing a pirate hat circling the deck. Zhang Ming looked at the boss and said to a few people, "If you want to equip it, you can get it, I won't say anything, this is not difficult." Sure enough, after a long time of tasks and the experience of the previous bosses, the cooperation of several people has become quite tacit, and the captain of the green skin did not last long before he fell to the ground.

"I rub it, staff, it doesn't look like I used it. Flint Staff, Staff, 47~71 damage, +5 spirit, +5 stamina, +8 intelligence. Meng Xiaofan posted the equipment again.

"Hehe, this is a good thing, Xiao Pan girl, you should go first, this thing will be brushed a few more times, I won't fight with you." Zhang Ming saw that he had lost a good thing in the law system, and he was also happy.

"Brother Ming, you have given up several pieces, you can take this." Meng Xiaoyan did not agree with Zhang Ming to give up, but said.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm a 'milk' mother, the relative requirements are lower than yours, I want to have a good output, I can't do it without good equipment." As soon as Zhang Ming heard this, he gave his reasons.

"Oh, this way, let's roll the bread." When Meng Xiaoyan heard this, she didn't insist anymore, so she said to this Pan Jun.

"Well, lady first, you go first." Pan Jun said it, and then the system prompted the girl to roll 4 points. Pan Jun was happy, hey, the heavens are on my side today, so I'm welcome. "Bread rolls a 3, and the girl wins the item [Flint Staff].

"Haha, my sister R4 o'clock, your r is lower than her, let you be in Dese." Meng Xiaofan saw the result and laughed out loud. And Pan Jun still couldn't believe the prompt message on the screen, and shouted, "Is there a mistake, it's unreasonable." ”

"I told you a long time ago, I will definitely win you this time." Meng Xiaoyan deliberately equipped the [Flint Staff] in front of Pan Jun and said arrogantly. (Don't be surprised, during the public beta period, the R point is indeed as long as a person clicks the sieve, the results of that person will be directly displayed, unlike later, regardless of whether the sieve is earlier or later, everyone clicks the sieve and produces the result uniformly.) Drifting Zero killed the mine for the first time, and the green-skinned harpoon was defeated by the warrior by 4 points and I was 3 points r. )

"Brother-in-law, is this the end of the fight?" Meng Xiaofan looked at the empty deck and asked Zhang Ming.

"No, we have one last step. The leader of the Brotherhood of Thieves of Defia, Edwin Van Cleeff, the final boss of the Mines of Death, we haven't killed yet. Zhang Ming said to a few people.

"Where, don't you see this goblin on this ship, where is there a boss?" Li Pet looked around, but he didn't find the boss.

"Right in front of us, in this room, he stood in the dark, waiting for our arrival." And Zhang Ming walked to the front of the house, looked at the darkness in front of him, and said to everyone.

When Edwin. Van Cleef angrily shouted, "You lackeys of the storm, my actions are righteous!" As I fell at the adventurer's feet, I sighed deeply when the blood of this genius ran down the deck to dye the second masterpiece of his life to which he had devoted all his energy to bright red--- what a pity, this is not the right way to die for this man.

Edwin. Van Cleef was perhaps one of the most talented men in the world of Azeroth, and I was even more convinced of this fact when I stood in the distance and looked out at the towering spires of the Cathedral of Light and the unrestrained and majestic white monolithic structure of the Stormkeep.

Like the life course of all geniuses who end in tragedy, this man's life is full of dramatic 'sex'--- Edwin. Van Cleef, once a young man who loved architecture, joined the famous Stonemasons' Guild because of his passion for architecture. Years later, the talented Van Cleef took over from his previous leader, as he expected, from his former leader, the head of the building union, --- a prestigious coalition. And Edwin. Van Cleef also lived up to everyone's trust and expectations, and the reputation of the stonemasons under Van Cleef's leadership reached an unprecedented peak. To Van Cleef's surprise, he received an invitation from the royal family of the Stormwind Kingdom, saying that the royal family wanted him to take on the task of rebuilding Stormwind.

The young leader of the stonemasons clearly felt that he was standing at the pinnacle of his career, and that honor, money, and nobility seemed to be beckoning to him. Until this time, Edwin. Everything seemed to be going well with Van Cleef, just like the dream he had in his youth. As fate would have it, Van Cleaf's salute to celebrate the completion of the new Stormwind City was met with a notification that the royal family had run out of money to pay for the project, burdened by the war budget.

Do you really have no money, or is it a deliberate denial? Van Cleef didn't even think about it, and the young and vigorous leader only saw that while the nobles were having fun in the city, the thousands of union brothers who had built up the city with their blood and sweat were waiting for the wages to support their families. The nobles promised to give a few of the senators in the guild knighthood, but Van Cleef flatly refused to be bribed. Instead, he led the members of the Masons' Guild to riot and break through the siege of the king's master and disperse into the countryside.

This was the first revolution in the history of Azeroth.... After that, the Stonemasons' Union, famous for its construction, disappeared, and the Defia Brotherhood, which existed for destruction, was quietly born. Over the next few years, Van Cleef pursued his plan of revenge: he used his knowledge of the Wild West to quickly expand the Brotherhood's power in his native homeland and take over the region's rich gold mines. Using the profits from the gold mines, he has built a huge base underground, in addition to further developing the Brotherhood, all in order to overthrow Stormwind.

This man, who has trained for many years at the spy headquarters of the Stormwind Kingdom (MI7), is even the head of MI7. Shore exclaimed, "That man is not easy to deal with" and was unusually worried about his treacherous behavior. How could such a person not understand that it would be difficult to overthrow the storm by his own strength?

Even if he thinks he has what it takes to succeed, as a spy, he is just playing conspiracy, co-opting corrupt officials from within to split Stormwind, and the amount of money will be much less. Then it is impossible to drive out the peasants of the entire western wilderness, so as to provoke the people to revolt on their own, and finally get the upper echelons of Stormwind to know about it.

But this man doesn't, he wants to build a ship... An iron ship that no one can sink, it is an epoch-making work of art, and this work of art is the crystallization of all his hard work in the first half of his life. That's right, he plans to pass through an inland river, break through the alliance's river blockade, rush through the resistance of the Wilderness People's Army in the western part of the southern continent, and the obstruction of the guards of Stormwind City in the western spring fortress of the northern continent, to bombard an inland city that is to be described as impregnable.

What is this attachment for? As I said earlier, Edwin. Van Cleef is a thoroughly tragic figure who spends half of his life creating a colossal masterpiece and the other half creating another masterpiece that was used to destroy the previous one.

Was he here to overthrow the Storm Royalty? No... Edwin. Van Cleef is not a fool, he knows he can do that far. So he didn't put himself in the position of savior in the first place, he was just for a goal... Or a dream.

Do whatever it takes, even if he bears the reputation of a robber, because he knows his worth --- him, Edwin. Van Clery, is the overlooking of all beings, and he doesn't need the understanding of others.

He is only fighting for his last dignity, just trying to express a gesture: "I don't accept it, I want to resist."

Edwin. Van Cleef was a Romantic revolutionary, or rather, he was an old man. He has his own bones.

Edwin. Van Cleef is an out-and-out villain...

But that doesn't erase the man... Because revolution only requires passion, not justice and axioms.

So when the man shouted angrily, "You lackeys of the storm, my actions are righteous!" When I fell, my heart was filled with regret...

The dark underground labyrinth is not a suitable place for this man to be buried, and dying under the sword of an adventurer is not a suitable way for this man to die.

I can imagine it coming out of Edwin. Van Cleef's ending for himself:

A tall man dressed in black stood on the towering spire of the Cathedral of Light, watching the storm guards surging like a tide, the corners of the man's mouth "revealed" a contemptuous smile, and then shouted "Justice!" The signal for the cannon was lit--- a large number of beautiful fireworks, and in the fireworks and noise of the fireworks, there was a loud bang. Van Cleef was blown to pieces along with the Cathedral of Light, putting an end to his life in the ashes and dust. Gorgeous and tragic, like the trills at the end of a ballet, this is the perfect ending for him.
