Chapter 60: The King Summons
Looking at the large boxes placed in front of him, Jordan's eyes widened in surprise.
Jordan stepped forward and picked up a shoulder armor, looked at it carefully, and gasped. The armor was so beautifully crafted and shaped that even he couldn't tell what metal it was forged from.
"Boss, you robbed the Stormwind barracks?" Jordan could only think of this one possibility.
"Rob your sister." Li Quan rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Robbing my sister? When did my sister learn to forge armor? How did I not know? Jordan scratched his head.
At this moment, a strange man came running over and asked, "You are the dream team?" Who is His Excellency Li Quan? ”
"I am." Li Quan said.
"I'm the Stormwind City Postman, and my name is Malone. This is a letter to you. The dusty man handed over a letter and said.
Li Quan opened the letter and looked at it, and suddenly said: "The king wants to summon me." ”
When Jordan heard this, he said: "It's over, the boss really robbed the Stormwind City barracks, and even His Majesty the King was alarmed!" No, we have to find a way to help the boss. Boss, otherwise, let's run away! As long as we can escape to the Valley of Thorns, we will be safe! ”
Li Quan rolled his eyes even wider, and said angrily: "I robbed your brother-in-law!" ”
"My sister doesn't seem to be married yet." Jordan was stunned and said.
Li Quan was speechless. What is it called? It's called cultural difference!
He had to patiently explain: "I spent a lot of money to find someone to order." It's used to boost your combat power. Cut the, put it on and try it out. ”
Jordan will be suspicious and dare not disobey Li Quan's orders. After he put on a brand new set of titanium alloy armor, not only Li Quan, but also the other people around him, including Jordan himself, felt that it was simply cool, and he could only describe it in one word, that is: mighty!
Putting on the armor, Jordan finally has the look of a warrior. The armor rattled as he walked, and his gestures were full of power.
"Good armor!" The crowd praised. Some of the adventurers who saw it all cast envious eyes.
"Try this sword again." Li Quan took out a handful of Frost Sorrow-Pseudo from another box and handed it to Jordan.
Jordan's eyes lit up again, what a delicate two-handed sword! Like an elf made. He was a warrior and loved weapons, and he could use swords, axes, and hammers. He especially likes to use swords. His rusty two-handed greatsword was the hand of a dwarf. The weapons made by the dwarves were never beautiful, but practical. Speaking of which, his sword followed him for several days, which was indeed very practical.
"You take it." Jordan handed Frost Sorrow to Pippen the thief, who used all his strength to hold the sword, Jordan untied his rusty sword from behind, clenched it, took a breath, and slashed at the sword in Pippen's hand with all his might!
Just listened to the sound of "dang chang", and when I looked at it again, only half of the two-handed big sword in Jordan's hand was left, and the other half flew more than ten meters away, and it was cut off.
"Good sword! What a sword! Jordan couldn't put it down, snatching the frost sorrow from Pippen, and never letting go.
"Boss, are these really bought?" Mage Johnson asked, surprised.
"Nonsense, I'll say yes."
"Boss, you're so good to us!" Jordan smiled with great emotion, although he still insisted on suspicion in his heart that these were all Li Quan's robbery of the Stormwind military.
As far as he knew, only the military was capable of forging armor of this quality, and both styles had some similarities. But since the boss is unwilling to admit it, then once Stormwind City is found, he and the others can't sit idly by no matter what, and the boss sacrifices so much for them, he vows to repay it.
Where did Li Quan know that Jordan thought so much, his starting point was very pure, and the reason why he prepared so much was for the goal of this crossing: the Western Wilderness.
The plant samples in the Elwyn Forest have all been submitted, and it is inevitable to change the map.
But to go to the Wild West, the first thing he has to do is face his first truly dangerous enemy after coming to Azeroth, the Brotherhood of Defia.
The Wild West can be said to be the nest of the Defia bandits, who are organized and disciplined, but not as easy to deal with as the Riverpaw Gnolls. The Brotherhood of Defia is the name of their organization. Their power has spread throughout the Wild West, the Elwyn Forest, the Twilight Forest, and even the goblins of the Valley of Thorns. Economic and military power should not be underestimated.
Economically, the Defia thieves occupied several mines and large areas of farmland in the western wilderness. With a large number of technicians, they were formerly rebel construction workers, and they have gathered many Stormwind architects and goblin designers under their banner. And he has a good income by robbing his house.
Militarily, the Defia bandits were armed with a large number of muskets and mastered artillery technology. With a battleship, the caliber of the ship's guns is quite large. The composition of the Defia bandits, most of them are thieves, and a few are warlocks and mages.
Defia's current leader is Vanessa Van Cleef, a shrewd and beautiful female robber. Vanessa is the daughter of Edwin Van Cleef, the founder of Defiia, whose father died on Stormwind's orders, so she is determined to avenge his father.
It can be said that this is a bandit organization with autonomous armed forces, a large number of members, quite wealthy, and a clear position.
If Li Quan wants to be active in the Western Wilderness, he will definitely not be able to avoid them.
This time, in addition to bringing 30 sets of armor and swords, I also bought a large number of compound bows, military daggers and other equipment online. In order to face the Defia Brotherhood, even if you don't have an advantage in equipment, you can't lose too much.
"I've given you a mission." Li Quan said to Jordan and the others: "I will go to Stormwind City to meet the king, you are here to recruit a group of good players for me, and you must be trustworthy." The equipment was distributed. When I get back, we'll go to the Wild West. ”
"Don't worry, boss! I'm the best at it. Pippen the Thief immediately patted his chest and laughed, "I know some thieves and hunters, and they must be quite interested in this job." ”
"I know a paladin who is a faithful companion who lives in the Abbey of Northshire, and I am going to contact him." Pastor Bird said.
"Then I'll recruit some brave warriors in the tavern." Jordan said.
"I'll go back to Dalaran." Mage Johnson said.
"Well, you go your separate ways. I'll go first. Li Quan said goodbye to everyone, and then asked Buckley, the "flying pig", to borrow a griffin and fly to Stormwind City.
……
Coming to Stormwind City again, Li Quan's mentality has changed. The last time I came, I was new to your land, and I was unfamiliar with the place, so I was a little cramped and uneasy. This time, he is also a skilled person, and he is a personal disciple of Kanresard Eberlock, who is known as the strongest warlock in the alliance, and his identity is different.
Li Quan came to the gate of the Storm Fortress, explained his intention, and was soon taken into the fortress by the guards.
Walking on the towering stone walls of the Storm Fortress and looking at the small pedestrians as small as ants below, Li Quan sighed that this building was so magnificent. A haven for human royalty and nobility, Stormstorm Fortress is a political and military fortress that is immensely fortified. Interestingly, it was none other than the predecessor of the Brotherhood of Defia, who built this fortress.
Li Quan was taken to a spacious room with a fountain and flower beds, and was told to wait here for the king's summons.
At first, he was also interested in fountains and flower beds, and accidentally found two kinds of flowers that had not been submitted, and took advantage of people's attention to take two sheep.
But then, the wait is most of the day. Going to the furnishings in the room is all a loss of interest. waited until the flowers were gone, and Li Quan didn't see the king appear.
The king did not appear, but a small child came in.
When the child saw that there was someone in the room, he immediately put down his stumbling steps, put his hands behind his back, and walked over slowly.
"Who's this little brat?" Li Quan was stunned, thinking that it was a nobleman or something.
"Who are you? I haven't seen you, why are you here? Without waiting for Li Quan to speak, the little kid took the lead in asking, looking arrogant.
"The king will summon me, and I will wait here." Li Quan said.
"Oh! You're the one who led the team to capture and then kill Hogg alone? I've heard of you! Who knew that the little kid's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had actually heard of Li Quan.
"You are?"
"My name is Anduin-Ureon."
It turned out to be the Little Prince! Li Quan was stunned. Anyway, why is the prince so young, so what period is it now?
Since the king had not yet come, Li Quan simply talked to Anduin.
The little prince's curiosity seemed to be very strong, and he kept asking Li Quan all kinds of questions.
"Can you describe how you did it? Kill Hogg alone. I know Hogg is strong, tougher than a team of soldiers, and cunning! ”
"I'm a warlock and can summon five imps. I also have a killer feature. ”
"You're bragging! Warlocks can only summon one demon at a time. ”
"I can summon more."
"I don't believe it!"
The little prince shook his head, obviously not believing what Li Quan said. Li Quan didn't plan to be like a little kid, and he didn't plan to explain.
Just then, a voice walked in: "Anduin, so you're here!" I've been looking for you for a long time. With the sound of a voice, a richly dressed man entered, walked up to Anduin, and reached out to caress the little prince's head lovingly.
Could this be the human king Varian? Li Quan thought to himself.
The man looked at Li Quan, smiled, and asked, "Are you?" ”
"My name is Li Quan......" Li Quan introduced himself again.
"Oh? Oh! Okay, you're doing a great job! The man nodded appreciatively, then pointed at Anduin and said, "Then, as you can see, the one standing before you is King Anduin-Ureon." ”
"Huh?" Li Quan was stunned. Anduin ...... King?
Seeing Li Quan's surprised expression, the man's expression was gloomy, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity! Our beloved King Varian disappeared not long ago, this is top secret, it has not yet been disseminated, and the people are not yet aware of it. Please also keep it confidential. Anduin is only the temporary king, and I will serve as the auxiliary. I am Regent Berval Vortagen. ”
After saying that, the regent looked at Anduin and said lovingly, "Anduin, follow me, you have not finished your homework for today, and you must complete it before dinner......"
The Little Prince...... No, the little king Anduin followed the regent Boval step by step, looking back at Li Quan step by step, and the two gradually walked away.
Is King Varian missing? This news made Li Quan stand there for a long time.
Suddenly, Li Quan suddenly realized and slapped his forehead.
"In this way, all the previous things can be explained!"
He first crossed over to Shining Gold, which was facing a kobold crisis and Stormwind had been slow to send reinforcements. If it weren't for the herbs he took out to help, Shining Gold Town probably wouldn't be as peaceful as it is now.
Stormwind was quite close to Shining Gold, so it was supposed to send reinforcements as soon as possible. But it didn't.
The other was the prison incident, when Hogg instigated the bandits in the prison to riot, and the warden led people to wait for the support of Stormwind Fortress. However, Stormstorm Fortress was slow to send reinforcements. It wasn't until Li Quan went in to deal with Hogg that the people of Stormstorm Fortress were late.
Originally, Li Quan didn't understand why Stormwind City's official movements were so slow every time, but now he knew that it was all because the real king was no longer in Stormwind City. In fact, the Stormwind regime is now being controlled by a person who, technically, is not human.
It's a dragon!
Black Dragon Princess, Onexia!
In his memory, this plot quickly appeared in Li Quan's mind.
The Black Dragon Princess Onexia, disguised as a human noblewoman at this time, infiltrated the noble circle of Stormwind City, and bewitched the current regent Boval, indirectly controlling the government. Presumably, the orders issued by Stormwind City are all through her hands. It is understandable not to send reinforcements below.
Li Quan thought of a very serious problem again.
In this way, my trip to the Western Wilderness may not be too smooth, and I will not face Edwin Van Cleef's daughter, but Edwin-Van Cleef himself, and the most powerful Defia Brotherhood in the historical period he leads!
And behind Edwin Van Cleef, there is a faint shadow of the Black Dragon Princess!
"This is a problem......
Li Quan now has an in-depth understanding of the time period in which this world of Azeroth is located. At this time, the little prince did not grow up and was still a bear child; Edwin Van Cleef hasn't died yet; The Black Dragon Princess is still unscrupulously interfering in the government of Stormwind City. Everything is in the early days of World of Warcraft.
At this time, the guards of the Storm Fortress who received the order came to invite Li Quan out, and the king's summons was so hastily summoned.
Li Quan was following the two guards, walking in the wide corridor of the fortress, when a system prompt suddenly came to his mind, Li Quan raised his eyebrows, and then walked out of the storm fortress quietly.
"I didn't expect that the system would ask for something by name." Standing in the garden outside the fortress, Li Quan squinted his eyes and thought as he looked at the magnificent figure of the Storm Fortress.
He has just received a special task issued by the system on an ad hoc basis, which is the first time that the system has added additional tasks to the daily allocation so far.
As soon as he called out the task, Li Quan was shocked.
【Mission: Water】
[Goal: Water is the source of life, and the growth of forests is inseparable from water.] The system detected the existence of special water in many places in this plane, which contained abundant energy. This water has a positive effect on the rebuilding of the systemic world. The system also detected that somewhere in the building, there was a small amount of energy-rich water. Ask the host to submit a sample of this water.]
【Location: Azeroth】
【Limited time: unlimited】
[Reward: Contribution 500 points]
500 points contribution!
When he saw such a rich reward, Li Quan's eyes immediately turned red.
