Marshall Duhan looked at the record in his hand and the necklace Ethan handed over, and he was a little unsure of how to answer.

From the records, it can be known that there are quite a few kobolds entrenched in the Fargodi mine, and there is also a leader of kobolds, whose strength is also much stronger than ordinary kobolds, and he actually cleaned up all the kobolds in such a short time?

He knew that the kobold's combat power was nothing in front of a real powerhouse, but he didn't expect such a powerful adventurer to come and take on the task he posted.

"I need to be sure before I can get back to you later. Marshall Duhan thought for a moment, and could only put the matter aside for the time being, and then sent someone to the Fargodi mine to confirm the situation, and if what was written in this report was true, then he must give Ethan the reward and respect he deserved, which was the most appropriate way to deal with it.

"I'll be staying at the Lion King's Pride Inn all this time. ”

"I'll confirm it soon. ”

Putting Ethan's report and the necklace away, Marshall Dohan sent someone there without haste. It was already dark, and to send someone into the forest at this time was to send his men to death.

Saying goodbye to the sheriff, Ethan and Logan and the others returned to the Lion King's Pride Inn, and for the next few days they didn't run around or do any special tasks, they just walked around the town of Shining Gold and figured out the role of every building in the town.

In general, although the town of Shining Gold is much larger than the game world, it is only a town after all, except for the Lion King's Pride Inn, which is the house where the mayor's office and the sheriff's office are located, and there are also shops such as blacksmith shops that are relatively large buildings, and the rest are very ordinary houses.

The location of the Lion King's Pride Hotel is also the most lively area in the whole town, including many shops in this area.

The entire town of Shining Gold is the most important transportation hub in the Elwyn Forest, but there are not many soldiers stationed here, not even a full formation, only Sheriff Marshall Dohan leads a dozen guards to take charge of security here.

It is precisely because of this situation that a dozen soldiers can barely take care of the entire Shining Gold Town, and they often have no spare energy to solve the troubles that arise outside the town, but this time to confirm the mission of the Fargordi Mine, Marshall Duhan did not recruit additional ordinary people to conduct reconnaissance, but sent two soldiers he trusted.

The speed of the two soldiers was very fast, and it only took more than half a day to go back and forth to confirm it briefly, and they even checked the situation around the mine, not only confirming that there were no kobolds occupying the mine, but also knowing that the necklace brought back by Ethan belonged to the hostess of a nearby farm.

Marshall Duhan personally approached Ethan with the honorarium after understanding the situation, and after settling the remuneration that Ethan deserved, he also expressed his gratitude.

"I wonder what your plans are next?"

If Ethan wants to continue his adventure in the neighborhood, he can be introduced to local acquaintances depending on whether he can go west or east to help his friends out of some troubles.

In the past few years, the Storm Kingdom has been prosperous on the surface, but these people working at the bottom know that many places have been more or less caught in all kinds of troubles, even in the Elwin Forest, which is the hinterland of the kingdom, the troubles have gradually increased in the past two years, and some of their old friends have complained that the people at hand are not enough.

If I had introduced Ethan myself, I think those old friends would have been happy.

"I wanted to go to Stormwind to have a look, but I've changed my mind now. ”

He had wanted to go to Stormwind to find some fallen mages or see if there were any druids or something, but now he thought it would be better to find Varian first.

If he can save the king of the Stormwind Kingdom, then he can access what he wants through Varian.

It is far less convenient to collect from the bottom than to develop from the top, and he still got inspiration from Katrana Presto.

After all, in the world of Azeroth, knowledge is still in the hands of a small number of people, most of the resources are in the hands of nobles, and the knowledge and resources of a country's king are far beyond those of ordinary nobles.

Now that he has the best option, Ethan certainly doesn't bother to choose the worst one.

To find Varian, he would need to travel to Kalimdor, which meant he would have to go to the port of Minethil to take a boat to Theramore.

It wasn't an easy journey, but he could save Windsor along the way, and the marshal had already sensed the strange undercurrents inside Stormwind and had taken reckless shelter outside.

He should be imprisoned in the prison of the Black Iron Dwarf now, but he realized that Stormwind was no longer safe, and he could save his life there, so he quietly waited for a better opportunity and did not rush to escape.

"Maybe we can get this guy out first?"

If this is the case, he will need to go east, to the Red Ridge Mountain, and then to the Burning Plains, although this road is not peaceful, but for himself and the others, there is no trouble at all.

"I'll probably go to Lakeside Town and then take a look at the Burning Plains. ”

"Red Ridge Mountain?" Marshall Doohan frowned, to be honest he was a little worried, the two places Ethan mentioned were not tourist destinations, Red Ridge Mountain was not in a good situation right now, and I heard that Lakeside Town was being threatened by orcs and gnolls.

As for the burning plains...... It couldn't be worse there, the Marshal of the Stormwind Kingdom, Reginald Windsol, had fallen to the Burning Plains, the kingdom had long lost control of the Burning Plains, and no one knew how bad it was in the kingdom now.

"Are you really going over there?"

"I would definitely go if there were no surprises. ”

Ethan would not tell Marshall that he was going to find Reginald Windsol, who many thought was dead, and then that he would take the marshal to find their missing King Varian Wrynn.

"Good luck. ”

Marshall did not dissuade, everyone has the right to decide their own future, not to mention that he and Ethan are not familiar at all, just a few words, as an adventurer, where he wants to go is not something he should interfere with.

"I can only hope that along the way, you can properly help a group of civilians in the kingdom who are in trouble. ”

Marshall Doohan wasn't sure if Ethan was a native of the Stormwind Kingdom, there were no Seven Kingdoms or anything now, but not all humans were people of the Stormwind Kingdom.

"I will. ”

At this point, Marshall Dohan went back to his duty to deal with the chaos of the town of Shining Gold, while Ethan continued to sit at the table in the corner of the Lion King's Pride Inn and ponder his next steps.

Not long after Marshall left, Serena and Logan sat down next to her, and even Loki sat down.

"Are we going to Stormwind next?"

"No, we'll go to Red Ridge Mountain. ”

This is not a game world, he doesn't need to follow the steps of playing the game in his previous life to do tasks to unlock the next story, and at the same time, he has to keep doing more side quests to improve his level.

Ethan's strength may not be top-notch, but it is enough to deal with most enemies, and he can completely jump out of the inherent 'game plot' and choose the part of the 'mission' that is most useful to him.

"What's that?"

During this time, Logan was not messing around, he had a proper understanding of the situation in this world, but he only stared at the area of the Elwyn Forest, ignoring the information of the surrounding area.

Loki inquired in more detail and gave Logan a bit of science.

"To the east of the Elwyn Forest, there is an area called the Red Ridge Mountains, mostly mountains and hills, and the largest town is called Lakeside Town, built on the northern shore of a huge lake, the flattest part of the Red Ridge Mountains. ”

"You've done a lot of homework. ”

"I always have to find out what kind of place I'm in. ”

Loki didn't think it was a big deal, he got a lot of things from his investigation, and he even deduced Ethan's purpose through miscellaneous and even mixed in all kinds of gossip news, combined with Ethan's decision.

"You want to find the missing Reginald Windsor?"

Loki didn't lower his voice, but everyone present was not worried about being overheard, and both Loki and Ethan cast certain distraction spells to ensure that their conversation would not be heard by outsiders.

Ethan knew that the intelligence agencies of the Stormwind Kingdom were a bunch of ubiquitous guys, and the devil knew if there were any MI7 spies in this group of seemingly ordinary travelers.

Although MI7 is also suspicious of Katrana's situation, they will never treat a group of 'outsiders' who talk about the missing marshal of the kingdom as friends, and if they are not careful, they will attack them all when they go to bed at night, knock them all unconscious, take them back to Stormwind, and put them in cells for interrogation.

"Yes, I want to try and see if I can find this person. ”

"Are you sure this person is still alive?"

Most of the folk rumors believe that this man has died in the battle with the orcs, and only a few believe that he is still alive, and the ghost knows why there are rumors that Wendthor is still alive, the key is that this rumor is actually true.

"If he's still alive, finding him will help with what's next. ”

"Varian-Ureon?"

Ethan glanced at Loki, who looked at him with a smug look of 'you've already seen through you'.

"Yes, Varian Ureon, whatever we want, befriending a king can make things much easier. ”

Although Loki agrees with Ethan's words, he proposes another option: "Actually, you can choose another person to befriend, can't you?" ”
