81. Identity is a big issue
"Where are you from? What is your family's name? Name a few people who know you, what landmarks are in your hometown, who is the local lord, who is the captain of the local garrison......" Faced with this large number of questions, Zhang Li could not answer one.
He can make up, there are a lot of free people in Azeroth, and black households account for the vast majority, but a person can't appear out of thin air, his birth, his growth will always have contact with other people, and Zhang Li doesn't, there is no one who can prove him.
This is a big problem, if he is just an ordinary civilian, and he is not destined to be an ordinary civilian, when he develops to a certain extent, there will always be people who try to dig up his past, so if he does not have a background that can be accepted by everyone, he will not be able to walk in the light at all, all he can do is be a robber or a bandit.
Being a bandit or bandit means that his movement and development will be greatly restricted, which is not what he wants to see, but if he really can't help it, he has no choice.
So Zhang Li found Defiya, if there is a group of robbers in the Stormwind Kingdom who is the most promising, it must be Defiya Undoubtedly, if Zhang Li can replace Van Cleve, he may not be able to achieve a career, but he did not give up, so he "communicated" with those Defia bandits, and found that he could actually try to use their identities.
The Brotherhood of Defia, formerly known as the Brotherhood of Stonemasons in Stormwind City, returned to their land after the Orcs were defeated, but it was already a ruined land after the Orcs had devastated it.
Stormwind's restoration work was imminent, so the nobles hired members of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons to rebuild the city.
They got to work diligently, and with the help of the nobility, they not only restored the old town of Stormwind on its original foundation, but they also did what they could to improve the city and make it more magnificent and stronger.
Eventually, they completed the masterpiece, and Stormwind was built into one of the most stunning cities in the world, and when the work was done, it was time to be paid, and then the problem arose, the nobles, they didn't intend to pay at all......
They just found some reason to send this group of people away, and even bribed many high-ranking members of the Brotherhood of Masons in order to pay less, anyway, this is the story of a ruling class oppressing the common people.
Well, in order to rebuild the city, they all owe a lot of debts, and now you say that if you don't give it, you won't give it?
The members of the Brotherhood of Masons were furious, and they launched a rebellion led by their leader, Edwin Van Cleef, in which King Varian's wife was stoned to death, and then the Brotherhood was driven out of Stormwind by the incoming army, but their revenge was not over, and the first peasant revolt in the history of Azeroth officially began.
This is a story of official coercion and civil rebellion, it stands to reason that the victims are completely members of the Brotherhood, they are righteous, if this is in ancient times on Earth, as long as someone instigates it, the people's hearts will soon fall to them, maybe it can really overthrow the mediocre regime, but unfortunately, this is Azeroth.
There are unreasonable powers: magic, light, shadows, the nobles, they control these powers, and here the numbers sometimes don't represent anything at all, so the difficulty of the peasant revolt is not at all the same level as in ancient Earth.
As a result, the Defia Brotherhood could not go down the wrong path, and Van Cleef got involved with the robbers in order to take revenge on the nobles.
In order to enhance his strength as much as possible, he began to do whatever it takes, no matter who he is, whether you are a robber or a robber, whether you are a murderer or a strong beep~~ criminal, no matter who you are, you can join Defiya.
Eventually, the peasant uprising was turned into a concentration camp for bullies, who began to burn and loot everywhere as soon as they got together, so that a large number of innocent civilians were killed.
The entire Wild West was in a miasma of smoke and smoke by them.
Defia pushed herself into the abyss in this way, and as a result, the nobles who were originally unreasonable have now become "justice", and I have to say that Van Cleef is really a mouse.
Zhang Li estimated that Defiya had developed like this, and Van Cleef would be powerless to stop it even if he woke up, and he could only follow the trend, otherwise he would likely be replaced by restless bandits, and this is exactly what happened.
After careful investigation of those robbers, Zhang Li finally found that Defia's organization was very chaotic, and they basically couldn't be described as a few camps, anyone who could become Defiya as long as they wore a red mask, they didn't care about your life experience at all, which means that Van Cleef didn't even know how many people he had.
This was the case with the Defia bandits, many of whom were forced to join the group, and they were forced to kill and set fires to the point that there was no turning back, and they fell to the bottom.
So Zhang Li took a fancy to this, he could completely disguise himself as an ordinary Defia robber to surrender to Cheng, no one knew him, he just disguised himself as a person who didn't want to talk about the past, maybe in this way he could appear in front of everyone openly, even if someone dug up his past in the future, it would only be a mess.
But of course things won't go well.
..................
“...... It's incredible, a person can actually have three kinds of energy, and there is one that I have never heard of......" In a small, barely called a small dilapidated building in Night Town, Zhang Li was watched by a group of people.
Hogan Ferenc, Chief Advisor and Chief Mage to the Mayor of Nighttown, was just talking to him.
When Zhang Li was interrogated, in order to show that he was different, he used natural spells to transform himself, and gave birth to a small cloud of arcane energy derived from the essence of the sunwell in his heart.
This startled the middle-aged bearded man, so he reported Zhang Li's situation to his superiors, no, someone immediately came to study Zhang Li.
Zhang Li: "I call it the force of nature, when I was a child, I slept on the ground on a green grassland, and when I woke up, I found that there was more of this kind of thing in my body. ”
"......" Hogan was noncommittal about the remarks.
"You said you had never had any training, and that you had learned Shadowwalk by imitation, so you can show me any arcane magic, and you have arcane energy. ”
"Uh...... I'd tried something like magic, but unlike Shadowwalk, I didn't have a clue how to imitate it. Zhang Li smiled awkwardly, the arcane energy was very weird, he had tried to use the arcane missile, which seemed to be just a skill to rub the arcane energy into a ball and throw it out, but he failed, he didn't have the corresponding knowledge, he simply collected the arcane energy into a ball, and the result was that as soon as he left his hand, the ball was scattered.
Hogan had a look on his face that you were indeed a liar.
"Let's not talk about magic, since you can master the Shadow Walk, then you must have mastered other shadow spells as well, come and show me how. His tone had become unkind.
Zhang Li: "The others won't, I'll take a shadow step." ”
Hogan: "The difficulty of the Shadow Step is higher than that of most Shadow Spells, and you tell me that you have mastered the Shadow Step but you don't know any other spells?"
Zhang Li: "That's just how easy you think it is......"
"That's enough!" a young woman with black hair and brown eyes suddenly interrupted the conversation.
