Chapter 181: Stormwind in action
After another week on Earth, and seeing that everything was over, Li Quan immediately traveled to Azeroth.
Wild West, Fablon Farms.
Upon arriving, Li Quan found that the previous expansion of the farm had been completed, and several stone towers stood in the original planned location, and in the sunlight, the cold walls of the boulder walls exuded a solemn atmosphere, and it had become a military fortress. It's strategically located opposite Stormwind's official Sentinel Ridge, stuck at the entrance to the Wild West, and is the only way for Elwyn Forest to enter the Wild West. At the top of those towers, Li Quan saw that there was a flag with the word "Li" planted on each tower, and the black flag was hunting in the wind.
Li Quan still remembers that he drew this flag design plan and showed it to everyone, no matter Jordan or others, no one understood the meaning. The Dream Team only regarded the word "Li" as some kind of mysterious rune, representing some kind of magical meaning.
And after the original shape of the flag was embroidered by the hands of the elven craftsmen, many people, including Jordan, immediately liked the flag. The flag is brightly coloured, and it is very recognizable in this world of Azeroth.
Li Quan's sudden appearance did not cause much commotion.
The core personnel of the dream team are now accustomed to Li Quan's style of acting like a dragon without seeing the end, and it is no longer strange.
Seeing that he was back, someone immediately ran to inform Jordan, who was leading the team training in the square. Li Quan sat on the main seat in the lord's hall, and after waiting for a while, Jordan, wearing an old leather armor, appeared in his field of vision.
"Boss, you're back!"
Jordan was obviously very happy about Li Quan's appearance, and he smiled and said, "Boss, you are back." When you're not here, you have to ask me about everything here, and I'm almost dizzy. Alas, I'm really not fit for this. Boss, next time you'll be gone for so long. ”
Jordan asked himself if he was a proper manager, and he couldn't make decisions as quickly as Li Quan could in many things. Recently, there have been a lot of backlogs on the farm, both from Stormwind and about the next development direction of the Western Wilds, all of which are unresolved. Now that Li Quan is finally back, Jordan is immediately relieved, he can finally just think about how to charge into battle again.
"Why are you still wearing this?" Li Quan smiled slightly after listening to Jordan's complaint, and glanced at the old leather armor on Jordan's body, which he recognized as Jordan had worn when he first met Jordan. He couldn't help frowning and asked, "I didn't give each of you a set of titanium alloy armor, why don't you wear it?" ”
Jordan smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "The armor you gave is too precious, and the brothers have it all collected." Usually training, we all wear ordinary leather armor, only when we really go into battle, the brothers will wear the set you gave the boss. ”
Li Quan was suddenly a little speechless. He said in his heart: Precious? Where is it precious? I found a forging shop on the side of the road and drove it out with a lathe, which can also be called precious?
"Okay, don't keep it, things are just for use, and there will be better ones in the future." Li Quan rolled his eyes at Jordan and said. What he said was the truth, and if he got any good materials in the future, he would not be stingy to ration them to his right-hand men.
Jordan grinned, and even claimed yes. Li Quan sighed helplessly when he saw him like that, he saw that Jordan definitely didn't listen, and said in his heart that these guys took that broken armor too seriously, and they had to find a chance to let them realize the current financial situation of the boss, or wait until the next time I go back to the earth to order a hundred and eighty sets to bring over?
"Has anything happened lately?" Li Quan changed his words and asked.
"Boss, I was trying to report to you. There's been a lot going on lately, and many of them are things I can't decide, and it's up to you to decide. ”
Jordan said and began to report on his work in detail.
"First of all, it's the collection of plant samples ordered by the boss, because most of the surrounding areas of the western wilderness have been swept dozens of times, and in the last month, we have hardly been able to find new varieties of plants. So I suggest that it's best to look around and broaden your search. With our strength, we can already go deep into the Twilight Forest......"
It took about half an hour, and after listening to Jordan's detailed report on everything recently, Li Quan nodded with satisfaction and praised Jordan a few words.
He can see that Jordan's comprehensive ability is still very good, in addition to his strong personal force, he can also carry out the work in the territory step by step during his absence, and the progress he set before has not fallen at all, which is very rare.
The most important thing is that the dream team has now seized the opportunity according to the plan he had planned before leaving, and quickly gained a foothold in the western wilderness while taking advantage of the chaos, occupying a place, as if it had become a local force.
Of course, among them, Stormwind was able to allow them to build a fortress under the official nose, and almost reproduced a force that was not weaker than the Defia Brotherhood, which was inseparable from Li Quan's personal charm.
If it weren't for Li Quan's great kindness to Varian, no king would have watched someone in his territory build a military fortress of this scale on a large scale, and he would not have been able to rebel?
The rebellious Defia Brotherhood has been driven into the Death Mine by the Stormwind Clearing Army, and now it is barely breathing, and Li Quan came back this time to find that there are many more notices nearby, and the mercenaries seem to be ready to move.
Thinking of this, Li Quan asked Jordan and asked, "When I came, I saw that there were many mercenaries and adventurers gathered outside in our Saili, what is going on?" ”
"Oh, those people came to us spontaneously recently. Because we are relatively close to Shining Gold, adventurers who come to the Western Wilderness from the direction of Elwin Forest and Red Ridge Mountain will pass us first and then go to Sentinel Ridge. Over time, many people want to be able to resupply us regularly and move around the area. "For the sake of development, I took the initiative to divide a trading area on the periphery of the fortress, and allowed these foreign adventurers and mercenaries to trade there. Uh, if the boss thinks it's inappropriate, I can order them to cancel the trading area. ”
"Cancellation? Why cancel? Li Quan shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Your idea is very good. The establishment of trading areas to revitalize the local economy, since we occupy the geographical conditions, we should take advantage of them. You did very well. ”
Jordan smiled, and then said, "As for those notices, it's because just recently, Stormwind City has officially issued an order to exterminate the Brotherhood of Defia, and issued a large bounty to get Edwin Van Cleef's head. It seems that King Varian has made up his mind to reclaim the Mines of Death. ”
"Oh? Bounty Van Cleve? When Li Quan heard this, his eyes flickered, and he touched his chin and pondered.
A moment later, he had a decision.
He decided to get involved and get the Dream Team out to take out Van Cleef in the frenzy. Others are there to get a bounty, he is to be able to give himself peace of mind.
He already had Varian's tacit approval, and if even the Brotherhood of Defia stopped watching, the Wild West wouldn't be his domain. When the time comes, it will be easier to carry out the work. What works? Of course, it is centered on the western wilderness and radiates to other surrounding areas, collecting plant samples on a large scale.
The system is now level 8, and there are about 700 XP points left to reach level 9, which requires a large number of new plant samples to be submitted to the system.
"We'll go too." Li Quan said, "It's better to be one step ahead of the others and take out Van Cleef." It also gives us some prestige. ”
"Let's go too? But what about the task of collecting plant samples? There are still some people searching nearby......" Jordan asked.
"You can put it there for a while." Li Quan smiled slightly, "When we solve Van Cleef, we can let go of our hands and feet and go to the Twilight Forest, and we don't have to be confined to one place." Our goal is the sea of stars......"
"Huh?"
In short, the matter was settled. Since it was Li Quan's personal order, Jordan naturally would not object. Past facts have proved that every decision Li Quan made has a deep meaning, how can a reckless man like them who can only charge into battle figure out the lord's mind and just do it.
So, after Li Quan came back, the dream team immediately launched like a woke lion. Everywhere you can hear the sound of hustling and cheering, the sound of neat footsteps, and the fortress can be seen all over the fortress members hurrying by in groups of three or five. Those retail adventurers who came to trade and supply all looked at them curiously, they had been here so many times, this was the first time they had encountered this kind of scene, what happened?
Some people immediately thought of something, and they were all surprised: Could it be that the Dream Team also interrupted to arrest Van Cleef? This is unbelievable, I heard that now another large mercenary group, the "Wetland Lakers", has also released words to participate in this Kingdom Wanted Warrant. I heard that the Dream Team and the Wetland Lakers have always been at odds, so it's a good show!
Inside the fortress, a barn converted into an engineering workshop. Li Quan met two dwarf craftsmen who were busy arguing.
He brought a tablet to Azeroth this time. The tablet contains a variety of information technology courses and language textbooks. This is the reward he promised to give to the two Gnome Craftsmen as a reward for completing the Crop Golem Renovation Project.
The transformation of the crop puppet turned out to be quite successful. These two dwarf craftsmen have become the treasures of Li Quan's command, and he has decided to encircle them no matter how much it costs, and continue to recruit talents when necessary. Talent in the 21st century is the most important thing, and this is true in Azeroth as well.
"What is this?" Seeing the tablet, the two dwarf craftsmen were obviously very surprised. The female dwarf BYD-Electric Ring looked like a human child holding the tablet in both hands, and she looked at the strange thing in her hand curiously, her eyes full of surprise. Even if she hadn't turned it on yet, the tablet's excellent workmanship let her know that this thing was nothing short of extraordinary.
Bentley-Bolt also leaned over to look at it for a while, raised his head and looked up at Li Quan and asked, "Boss, what is this?" ”
"The reward promised to you." Li Quan smiled and said, "This is a kind of recording device, which records a kind of esoteric knowledge called information technology. I suggest you put a lot of effort into it, or you may not be able to read it. Oh, by the way, you still need to learn a script before you can understand the content. In terms of learning, there is also a record of this. ”
Li Quan then demonstrated how to turn on the computer and how to use the tablet.
When the two gnomes saw this, they all exclaimed in surprise and cried out: "Titan Technology? ”
"Titan Tech?" Li Quan was slightly stunned, and then secretly snickered. Since these two people think that this is Titan Technology, it saves him from having to explain the origin, so Titan Technology is good. "That's right, this is Titan Tech. It was excavated from an ancient ruin. ”
"It's amazing! I've always wanted to know more about Titan Technology, but the complete legacy of Titan Technology is almost impossible to find, and I've heard that Uldaman has a small part, but I can tell that this thing is definitely more advanced than Uldaman's Titan Technology! BYD-Dianhuan said excitedly.
"That's right!" Bentley-Bolt nodded again and again, rarely agreeing with BYD-Electric Ring on one thing.
"Okay, you study, I'll go first." Li Quan said.
"Let's learn the language now, I can't wait to learn Titan, oh, it's the full Titan......" The two science maniacs had gone into a state of obsession, and all that was left in their eyes was the contents of the tablets.
Li Quan smiled slightly bitterly and left the workshop by himself.
As soon as he came out of the engineering workshop, he heard a commotion in the distance and couldn't help frowning. Listening to this voice, it seems that someone is arguing about it.
Li Quan followed the sound to the place of the incident, and saw Jordan with a red face and red ears with a group of people, confronting another group of people. Both sides pressed their hands on their weapons, and they looked very emotional.
Seeing those people on the other side, Li Quan immediately recognized that it was Bryant and his subordinates of the Wetland Lakers Mercenary Group.
Finding that Li Quan came over, the members of the dream team immediately had a backbone, and they straightened their waists one after another, despising the members of the Wetland Lakers opposite. Bryant also saw Li Quan, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, a little surprised. Recently, he heard that Li Quan was missing, but he didn't expect to suddenly appear again. Thinking of Li Quan's identity as the earl of Nanhai Town, Bryant couldn't help but feel liver pain, he thought that it should be an honor that belonged to him, and he also sold his life on the battlefield of Nanhai Town, why didn't they get any benefits, and the benefits seemed to be all for Li Quan.
Every time he thought of such unfairness, Bryant was indignant, and he had already classified Li Quan into the same ranks as those corrupt officials in Stormwind. That's right, he thinks that the reason why Li Quan became an earl must have had some PY deal with someone. He had no idea that the person he had in mind was actually King Varian.
"What's going on?" Li Quan asked in a calm voice.
