Chapter Eighty-Six: Abduction of Brian
King Terenus of Lordaeron is in a bad mood right now, and despite the victory in the war, there are some problems and even cracks in the alliance that seemed to advance and retreat in harmony.
The first was the issue of the orcs, and Terenus took a fancy to the strong bodies of the orcs and thought they were very good free laborers, so he built a number of camps, which were actually concentration camps, and kept the captives in them. However, this move was opposed and criticized by other countries, especially Fort Torrent, which suffered a lot of losses in the fierce battles on the front line, and Quel'Thalas, whose homeland was devastated, and they all insisted that these orcs must be executed, and there were many similar voices even in the country. Fortunately, these shelters are all in their own territory or the former site of the Stormwind Kingdom, and there will be no turmoil for the time being.
The Stormwind Kingdom is the second headache, the orcs were eliminated, the Stormwind Prince Varian Ureon decided to lead the remnants to rebuild their homeland, Lordaeron and Stormwind and Kurtilas have always been a solid triangular alliance, the Stormwind Kingdom rebuilt Lordaeron naturally to contribute its own strength, but the originally financially strong Lordaeron had financial problems at this time, and the orcs without land and income could not bring themselves income like conquering other human kingdoms. The destroyed dwellings and walls of his own country need to be rebuilt, the fallen soldiers need to be compensated, the orcs in the shelter need to be resettled, and there are some additional points to be pointed out, but fortunately, Kurtilas can help himself pay more, and this problem can be solved for the time being.
Speaking of Lordaeron's additional point of view, we have to mention Quel'Thalas, in one of his post-war flashbacks, King Anasritaan of Quel'Thalas lodged a solemn protest with Terenas about the handling of the orcs and some of Tulayan's inappropriate remarks in Silvermoon City during the war, and even wanted to withdraw from the alliance. The return of Terenus came at a great cost to leave behind the precious power of the elves. Therefore, Terenus also became dissatisfied with the people's hero Tulayan, knowing that you are a warrior who does not understand politics, and also knowing that you put Lordaeron first, but you can't say that Lordaeron is more important, elves are not our vassals! Although Terenus himself also thinks that Lordaeron is much more important than Silvermoon City......
The most troublesome problem is the relationship between several surrounding countries, Gilneth heard that something was being planned, King Perinoud of Alterac has not yet woken up for some reason, there have been two forces fighting for power in the country, the common feature of the two forces is that they are extremely reluctant to intervene in their own countries, Riptide Castle and Lordaeron both want to get control of Alterac, but they don't want to share it with the other side, King Solas of Riptide Castle, who stood firmly on his side during the war, also questioned some of his decisions in public, and even friction between the two countries on the border of Alteracγ As for the dwarves, they don't care about the strife of human society.
"Alterac, you must not let go...... "Tyrenus' palm tightly covers Alterac on the map, "but it won't be easy to find a suitable agent." β
Mr. Nesario, who was going to act as a proxy for Tyrenus, did not know which pit he was sleeping in, while his ally Mr. Richard was drinking with the dwarves at Ironforge.
Ryan Copperbeard put down his hand and said, "The ale is still weak, big man, didn't you say you had spirits there?"
"Boom. Richard put a bottle on the table, "Kozan two pot heads, our specialty." β
Brian couldn't wait to open the bottle and inhale hard: "It smells good!
"Tons tons tons!" Richard stared wide as Brian suffocated half a bottle in one breath, it was the first time he had ever seen someone drink like this.
"Hah, ha, ha!" Brian puffed out his tongue with his mouth wide open like a puppy, "It's spicy! It's so refreshing! It's the strongest drink I've ever had!"
Li Xiang spread his hands and said, "I took this bottle." This wine is not the strongest, I also have a drink called Cozan vodka, which is the strongest. β
Brian was immediately intrigued: "Can you buy Cozan vodka?"
Richard shook his head and said: "No, this is a special product, just like Erguotou, it is exchanged for points." β
Brian rubbed his hands anxiously: "How do you get points?"
"Points are the exclusive currency of the residents of Kozan Island, which is used to purchase rare goods and is earned for working for Kozan Island. β
"Then you are short of manpower on Kozan Island?"
"Not lacking for the time being. β
Brian was a little disappointed, and Richard threw out the temptation at the right time.
"But I'm planning to start an expedition group to search and discover monuments around the world, would you like to join? β
"it!" Brian suddenly shouted and Richard jumped, "Tell you, big man, in terms of archaeology, in the whole of Azeroth, I Brian Copperbeard is the second, no one dares to call the first!"
"Okay, then sign him, sign him and you'll be a member of our Explorers' Guild. Richard put a contract in front of Brian, and Brian wrote his name on the "deed of sale" without even looking at it, and began his legendary journey of digging graves and opening monsters.
"Hey, hey, hey......" until Richard left, Brian was holding the bottle and smirking, imagining the joy of his daily life of tasting fine wine.
Suddenly, a dark figure stood in front of him, and Brian took a closer look, it was his second brother Muradin, who pointed to the bottle and hooked his finger.
"it!" Brian just grabbed the bottle, and Muradin pounced on him and grabbed it.
"Muladin, I haven't settled the account with you last time, and you want to rob me of my wine this time!"
"I've heard everything you just said, and we want to share good things together!"
"Fart!" Brian struggled as he gripped the bottle.
Muradin's grip on Brian tightly: "Take out the wine, or I'll tell my eldest brother about you secretly going out to work." β
Brian stopped struggling and reluctantly handed the bottle out.
Muradin took a sip of the wine bottle and said, "Good wine, give me two bottles every month, or I will tell my brother about it." β
Brian looked at Muradin's back angrily and roared, "Muladin, I'm not done with you!"
What to do, all of a sudden, half of it is gone, by the way, Richard said that the more you work, the more points you get, and suddenly there is hope for life!
Muladin who was holding the bottle walked around the corner and saw a dark figure standing in front of him, and when he looked closely, it was his eldest brother Magni, who pointed to the bottle and hooked his finger.
Reluctantly, Muradin's bottle was handed over, and Magni smiled "kindly" and said, "Remember to give me a bottle every month." No, you know. β
Muradin, looking at Magni's back, wanted to cry without tears, and half of it was gone all of a sudden, big brother, weren't you very opposed to Brian playing archaeology...... By the way, Richard's Explorers' Guild seems to have just been established, and there must be a shortage of manpower, or I can join it.
