Chapter 58: Food and Gunpowder
"Because to live. ”
"Survive? Don't you have parents?"
"My father was killed by thieves, and when they were about to kill me and my mother, we were rescued by the troops who withdrew to Silvermoon City, and my mother was burned to death in the orc siege, and I survived. ”
"So you chose to steal to make a living?
"Silvermoon City is full of hungry people. Every day, the food will be snatched away by the adults, and I can't take it. Several of my buddies are starving to death and I don't want to be like ...... like them."
"Then why did you choose the Hearthstone Inn? ”
"Because everyone there is enough to eat. ”
It's a simple reason, but Vaschi thinks deeper.
The waiter brought the food, and the little girl's eyes kept glancing at the table.
Vaschi rubbed her head and said, "Eat, it's all yours." You can also eat enough later, as long as you show your worth. ”
The little girl was a little confused.
"I will train you and turn you into someone who will be useful to us. ”
The little girl seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and ate her food in a big gulp.
"I haven't asked your name yet. ”
The little girl slurred her words, "Valera Sagunar." ”
Kikyo was sullen in the staff room, and when he saw Vaschi, he began to complain to her.
"There are thieves on Kozan Island! It's unimaginable! Every person who lands on the island has to be strictly checked, and there are thieves who have mixed in!"
Vasqui raised the purse in his hand.
"How did my wallet end up in your hand?"
Kikyo suddenly realized, "Is that the little girl?" ”
"That's right, her technique is very useful. ”
Kikyo said dissatisfiedly: "What's the use of petty theft." ”
"You don't understand, I know one thing from her mouth, the people of Silvermoon City can't get enough to eat. ”
"So what. ”
"The reason why she went to the Hearthstone Inn to steal was because the people there were enough to eat, so I was worried about ......"
Vasqi looked at Kikyo, who shook his head and didn't understand.
"Now the people of Silvermoon City are already living in poverty because of the war, and the excess money has been looted by the royal family to mercenaries, and our people's lives are even clear to a little girl. We want a Silvermoon City where we can collect wool, not a Silvermoon City that will oppose us. ”
"So what are you going to do. ”
"Prepare some food to relieve the residents of Silver Moon City, and the commission can also be 'appropriate' to be delayed, you go to prepare, and I will go to see the master. ”
By this time, Richard had already read the small report sent by Virgil, saying that the people below reported that Vaschi had taken the girl without permission in violation of orders. Richard smiled and tossed the paper into the trash.
As Vaski entered, he saw Richard leaning comfortably back in his chair, and Fina squeezing his shoulders.
"What's wrong? Suddenly in Silvermoon City?"
Vaschi told Richard what he thought.
Richard sat up straight and thought about it, and then said: "Your worries are reasonable, if you are too open, it will be difficult for that old king to tear up the contract without face and reputation, and he wants to mess with us, and the commission can be slowed down." This wave of grain can be operated well and a wave of prestige can be harvested. ”
Vaschi jotted it down and said, "I found a useful girl today. ”
"The little thief?"
"That's right, training can achieve extraordinary results in both intelligence gathering and sabotage behind enemy lines, and even teaching her some killing techniques can make her brilliant in some aspects. ”
"For example?"
Vaskey walked behind Richard's back, one hand caressing Richard's forehead and letting him rest on his abdomen, and two hands caressing Richard's face. Fina looked out the door without squinting.
"Let's say ...... this"
Vaschi ran her fingernails lightly across Richard's neck.
"Assassination? It doesn't seem necessary at the moment. But it's always good to be prepared. ”
The grain was sent to Silver Moon City on the same day, and along with a bunch of divine sticks led by Yang Hua, oh no, the priest. Their task is to reach out to the masses and raise the image of the mercenaries.
"These are all food for Silvermoon City. ”
Sylvanas's eyes were a little moist as she looked at the carts full of grain, she knew the situation in Silvermoon City, many people starved to death, and they couldn't buy food without money, Sylvanas was also dissatisfied with these mercenaries, but seeing that all the dissatisfaction with these grains dissipated, with these grains, many people would not die.
"In addition, I have discussed with the leaders of several other races, and the commissions in the near future can be paid after the war is over, and we will support you through this difficult time. ”
"On behalf of the people of Silvermoon City, I thank you. Sylvanas bowed deeply.
"Eh, don't do that. Richard quickly helped her up.
"Please accept our thanks, this food will save many people," Aurelia said. ”
Tulayan nodded as well.
Everyone pushed the food to the door of the Hearthstone Inn and began to distribute it.
In the royal palace of Silvermoon City, Anasritaan received a report of Richard and others distributing food.
"Recognize their actions. He ordered.
The herald walked out, and Anasritaan was only holding the report in his hand, his face serious.
"Without the royal family, can't I cure Richard and Tulayan, and can't I cure you few windrunners?"
Richard didn't know that the king in the palace who felt that he had lost face was dissatisfied, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care about the old king, and it would be better to care about Alterac's movements if he had that spare time.
In a mountain forest half a day's journey from Alterac, Orgrim Doomhammer and his troops were hiding inside, and they had notified the goblin merchant with a special signal a few hours earlier.
"It's them!!" a convoy drove into the forest, led by two short goblins.
There was only one orc, two goblins, and one or two carts in the Great Chief's improvised tent.
"You're very book-keeping. The Hammer of Doom said.
Wu You said with a smile: "Our goblin business is about integrity. ”
Wu You pointed to the goblin on the side and said, "His name is Heisuo, and people call him the siege master." ”
Hei Suo nodded, Hei Suo was originally just an ordinary technician, Vasqi discovered his talent in explosives after taking over the goblin, plus some of his novel brains quickly came out, as for the name of the siege master, it was taken when he came, and the titles of master and expert were to fool these orcs who had little knowledge.
"What weapons did you bring for us?"
"This is it. "There was a cloth that lifted the cart, and it was full of burlap bags.
"What is this?" Hammer of Doom scratched his head.
Wu You pulled out a bag and threw it upwards and said, "This is called an explosives bag." ”
