Volume II: Storm Falls 110 Western Wilderness
"I'm sorry...... I didn't expect to see you this way. "When I met Lord Alexton, there were all his people lying on the ground. I smiled at him as a dozen guards surrounded me in the middle.
"Who are you?"
"I was discharged from the front. My name is Bill. ”
"You're from Brightwood? What are you doing here? ”
"Travel...... The war is over, and I'm going to continue to finish my ...... Pursue. "I think I use the word "pursuit" very well.
"You're rude."
"Sorry...... This may be a legacy of the war. I said, "You know, sir...... Well, war always makes people ...... Some impulsiveness. ”
"You'd better get out of here." He said. "If you'd like to feel what it's like in my basement, I don't mind."
"Ha, okay." I waved my hand, "I apologize again." ”
The old man in front of him had gray hair and beard, but the hair on his head was still quite thick. He looked at me with some disgust, not wary, and I knew that he definitely didn't want to make a big deal about it, and although he had brought a dozen people with him, he should have known what the consequences would be, and I had already apologized to him.
With the bartender's embarrassed expression, I stayed at this tavern. As I lay in bed, I wondered if I was too impulsive...... Despite this thought, I told myself that they had provoked me first, and I fell asleep with this thought.
The next day I walked around the town and found a horse breeder and a food seller.
Walking on the ridge, I was thinking about whether I should go to Alexton's house, just outside the town is a vast area of farmland, and the people here are quite capable!
Their family used to be a famous family, and it is already very capable of gathering so many people to build a small town here, I think it is not only because of their morality. And when I stood outside his manor, I was amazed to find that such a beautiful building could be built in such a place.
This garden occupies a lot of land, but the walls are not only not high, but also quite cute. Many trees were planted around the wall, vines climbed all over the wall, and mandala flowers bloomed on it dotted it. There are some workers in the garden who are pruning the greenery in the garden, and yes, if you want to make the plants look good, you have to find someone to serve them every day, and this is not that simple.
A few children were playing at the gate of the garden, and when they saw me, they turned and ran into the garden. I stood in the doorway and looked inside, and after a while a few people came out of the courtyard, all with their guys, of course.
"Is that you?" There's a chubby guy who knows me.
"You know me?"
"Why are you still here? Didn't you get out of here? His tone was stiff.
"I'm just here to visit your master, and I've come here from thousands of miles away, so it's really not interesting to away."
"What's the point...... You are not welcome here. ”
"Ah...... At least you report it. I smiled.
A guy behind the fat man whispered in his ear, he looked at me and said, "Wait." So saying, they all went back.
I don't know why the temperature here is really higher, so I leaned against the gate and looked inside, and after a while, a family member came over unhurriedly. "My lord wants to see you." As he spoke, he opened the big iron door.
This garden is really good, and there is a fish pond in the middle of the garden, and there are some canals on both sides of the fish pond, and the water flows into the fish pond, but the water has been so much that I don't know where the water that flows in has gone.
The women in the yard stopped what they were doing and looked at me, expecting them to be attracted by my temperament when they saw me, but in their eyes I only saw ...... Fear.
When I approached this three-storey villa, I realized that this villa really has a real contrast with the style of this land. There is a relief outside the building! Can you imagine it...... A house of this size was built in such a place, and the exterior stone was carved with floral patterns!
There are also rooftops on the second and third floors, and the plants on the exterior walls decorate the house. When I entered the villa, I grinned in surprise at the marble floor on the first floor. Not to mention how beautiful the patchwork pattern is, it's just a simple polish that I've never seen in the royal palace of Stormwind!
There is a row of armor on the wall, armor of various styles. The decoration on the wall is gorgeous, and I am amazed by the simple picture frame, the carved patterns on the frame are so exquisite!
"Ahem!" The guy who came to pick me up coughed, and I turned my face to look at him, and there was some disdain in his eyes, but of course I didn't care what he thought of me.
After briefly admiring the furnishings of the hall on the next floor, I was taken up to the third floor, where several strong men were holding their arms and looking at me. It seems that these are the personal bodyguards of this owner...... But I don't seem to remember seeing it last night.
This room is not small, but the decoration in it is no worse than the king's, at least it is quite artistic.
"You want to see me?" The old man sat on a chair behind a large table, his arms propped up on the table, his eyes were old but not spent, and his gaze was quite sharp.
"Yes, Lord Alexton."
"What are you looking for from me?"
"Of course...... It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by, and then came to visit the adults, I had a friend when I was on the front, and his girlfriend's uncle was at the adult's manor. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"I happened to pass by to visit, after all, that guy and I are good friends."
"The war is over?"
"It's over, yes, temporarily......" I said.
"Whose command are you?"
"Anduin Lothar."
"Hmm...... He's good. ”
"It's also remarkable that an adult can build such a large estate in this place."
"Hard work will get you what you want." He looked at me, "Of course it's going to take some time." ”
"I've seen the last name Alexton in books." I say.
There was no change in his eyes. "Really?"
"Yes, glorious history, silence disappears." I say.
"Where are you going next?" Youngster. He didn't answer.
"Our commander is gone." I say.
There were no eyelashes on his eyelids, and his thin eyelids blinked without any emotion. "Who's the commander?"
"Lord Lothar."
"How could he not be seen?" The old man's voice was lowered, and he didn't seem interested.
"I don't know."
"Are you looking for him?"
"That's right."
Before the words could be spoken, a child of twelve or thirteen years old broke in through the door. "Grandpa, we're back!" Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man and a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old also walked in.
"We've found a mine!" The little boy stood in front of the old man and said proudly. "We're also going on an adventure! I've learned to use a compass! As he spoke, he held up a small box in his hand to the old man. The old man smiled and nodded.
The middle-aged man looked at me, "It turns out that there are guests at home." "This middle-aged man is dressed in khaki clothes, is he the old man's son? He looked at me with no expression on his face.
"Yes, a traveler." The old man said lightly, and then he smiled and said to me, "Good luck." ”
And so I was sent out, and he wasn't interested in me. The old man looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, and if he looked at it by age, his grandfather should be the general named Igo that Grayson said. It's just that his grandson doesn't seem to have much interest in the original royal family. Hmph, that's reasonable...... When that kid grows up, maybe ...... Time will eventually erase everything and erase everything.
I don't get the information I want now, at least not yet, and Ellie's uncle doesn't seem to have much of a need to see him.
I picked a horse from the town and made some supplies before leaving. It is true that this town is less crowded. After I had walked out of the town and to the end of their farmland, I had not gone far before the road I had stepped on was fading away.
Perhaps this kind of place will be a place of escape, without much chaos and trouble, although it is closed but relatively peaceful.
Now I can say that I have no direction, not that I can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, where should I go? Find him...... Where to find it?
Riding a horse quickly lost interest in the wilderness, where there was only an endless wasteland, and even the occasional undulation was lifeless. The weather here was surprisingly good, so good that there was not a single cloud in the sky, and later I found that even the wind was silent.
Wilderness, really wilderness. It's no wonder that the farther south you go, the more barren you are, and you can't even see a few rabbits, but there are still a lot of vultures in the sky. I'm not going to shoot a few vultures to taste it, I have the impression that these scavengers in the wild are dirty.
After two days of walking south, I found a small lake where some deer were drinking and some birds were wandering nearby. Where there is water, it is easy to find prey, and where there is prey, there are people.
I jumped off the horse to let the horse drink some water and rest, and I had something to eat. Just then, in the distance, I saw a man coming from the east with a car. I stood up all at once, and I read that right, it was a person!
The man in the bullock cart saw me too, but he grabbed the reins at once. He looked at me for a while, turned the bull's head and hurried away.
This is...... Didn't he treat me like a bandit? Seeing that he wanted to run, I didn't mean to tease him, I had to ask him about the situation nearby. I stepped on the horse and chased after it, and I laughed at the panicked guy in front of me.
The ox cart could never catch up with the horse-drawn cart, not to mention that he seemed to be pulling a cart of things. I followed unhurriedly, and he looked behind him again and again, urging the oxen pulling him, and seeing his whip crackling, it seemed that he was really afraid.
I urged the horses to catch up, "Hey, what are you running?" I didn't think I raised my voice, his eyes were full of fear. Seeing that he didn't mean to stop, I shouted, "You can't get rid of me if you kill this cow." ”
Hearing this, he tugged on the reins, and the ox cart slowly stopped. I crossed in front of his ox cart and said, "Your cows are foaming at the mouth, what are you running?" Can I still eat you? ”
He sat there trembling, the expression on his face was really scared.
"I'm just passing by, I'll ask you if there are any villages around here or something." I say.
He stared at me with two beads in his eyes.
"Am I like a bad person?" I say.
"It's not like ......," he said.
"I'm not as afraid as you are!" I glared.
"Not afraid...... No, I just ...... I thought I was hallucinating. "He's not a low level of lying.
"Hallucinations, what other hallucinations have you had?"
"What are you doing here?" He didn't answer me.
"I said that I was passing by, I was running out of water, and it was not a solution to always have no village, and I would always run out of food." I say. "Why isn't there a village around here?"
"I don't know ......," he said.
"Where are you going?"
"Go...... Go ......" he slurred a little.
"Okay, I know, let's go, take me to your village."
"Ahh I...... Spare me, please spare me! As he spoke, he jumped out of the car and fell to his knees, crying bitterly.
"What are you crying about?" I frowned. "Get up, I won't kill you. What a neurotic ......," I said.
He looked up at me, and there were no tears on his face when he was crying so badly......
"If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't have survived until now, and if I were a bandit, I wouldn't be polite to you." I say. "Get up! Answer my question. ”
He stood up, and then he felt less scared. "You really don't kill me."
"You're so long-winded, if you want to be so long-winded, I'll really look like I'm going to kill you!" I threatened.
"Don't, I say, there's no village around here, not one!"
"Where are you going?"
"I ...... I'll go home. ”
"Isn't your village where you live?"
"It's not." He said.
"How far is it from your house?"
"It's coming soon." He looked at me and said, "Are you ...... What for? ”
"What do you think I'm doing?"
"Military ...... You're like a soldier. ”
"You're not blind, huh. Where is this? I asked.
"It's ...... This is...... There are no names here. He said.
"Okay." I sighed, "This place is amazing...... Frustrated, don't you feel tired and panicked living in this kind of place? ”
"It's okay...... It's okay......" he said. "Are you a traveler?"
"Yes. I'm from Stormwind, and I'm out on an adventure. I said.
"Did you say it earlier?" He smiled.
"You have to ask!" I retorted. "What's your name?"
"My name is Stilwell, Jordan Stilwell."
