Chapter 44: Heroes don't ask where they come from
After the turmoil, Oster stayed in Nanchuan for nearly another week.
After all, this is the place where he is in charge of contact, and if such a big incident happens, it is not good to leave, so he must first restore order to the stronghold of chicken feathers.
First of all, they had to tie up Barry and the others to the prisoner car, sort out the evidence of their corruption and dereliction of duty, and send people to escort them to the gang headquarters to wait for their fate; secondly, try to recover the stolen goods and stolen money that have been stolen and sold, account for existing assets, and count the registered personnel;
Then it was necessary to find someone to fill the vacant managerial positions, including the lieutenant; Finally, the armament defense was reorganized, the fortifications were repaired, various expenditure accounts were formulated, and the insufficient part was reported to the headquarters for application.
The affairs are trivial and varied, and they involve a wide range of aspects. Oster, who had only been a wage earner in his previous life, was dazzled, and the few hundred pages of account books stumped him. This is just a small temporary stronghold of a few hundred people, and it is overstretched and helpless to manage;
He was very curious, what did those decathlon, stylistic, intellectual, and intellectual, and handy in everything they did, and who could govern a state, a county, or even a country in an orderly manner? Besides, with such talents, how can you come to another world, you should soar on the earth.
Fortunately, there are actually a lot of capable people in the Nanchuan stronghold, and there are all kinds of talents, but before the Bally's gang was nepotistic and bad, which made people's hearts sluggish, and everyone was lazy. After such a purge by Oster (whether intentional or not), the appearance and atmosphere were completely renewed, and everyone recommended capable talents to each other.
Oster knew that he was a straw bale, and he did not refuse to come, and he was like a stream. And after the appointment, all the powers are decentralized, and the things that are not understood are not asked.
And the newly appointed officials were apprehensive when they saw the fate of the former lieutenant and his gang, and no one dared to cheat and play tricks anymore; The congregation also recognized the courage of the new hall master and admired him. For a time, the entire stronghold was full of energy, and all kinds of affairs were quickly dredged and smoothed.
As for the candidate for lieutenant, Oster eventually fell in love with the leader of the Circus of Beasts, a dwarf named Modias.
When he used to wander the streets of Montenegro, Oster often went to the outskirts of the city to watch the circus animal taming performances, and played cards with the wolfdogs in the group; This wolfdog named Spee was the most awesome animal he had ever seen in his two lives, and he played with it with a golden flower.
In the early stages of the most difficult show, when Oster didn't know anything, Modias and the hunters in the group helped him a lot. For example, he was taught to apply for a permit to sell his art, to evade the town guards, to deposit money in the bank, etc., and the signboards, drums, and colorful flags used for beating were also given by hunters.
Not only did Oster take care of him, but half of the circus members were trolls, dwarves, orcs and other so-called lower subjects of the Alliance, and there were even two kobolds who had escaped from the clan. Modias often received these shipwrecked travelers and wanderers, taking them in to work in the regiment.
Most of these people did not have any outstanding abilities and knowledge, so they followed Modias to learn the art of taming beasts. By the way, this world is very different from the game, animal taming is a kind of farm work, and hunters are no longer a heroic profession, but are considered to be a profession for people with little ability.
Since his travels, Oster has seen many Kazmodans, or dwarves, who have come to the Stormwind Kingdom to do business and earn a living. This race is very different from the image in the game, but more closely to the Lord of the Rings archetype; Aloof, selfish, hot-tempered, and a heavy drinker, most of them are regulars in violent gangs and prisons, and there are very few who are in serious business like Modias and willing to help others.
The previous dark night druid half of the troupe, Modias only let her work for more than a week, almost paid off the debt, and gave her a lot of food and pestering.
Oster was also there at the time, and the female dark night kept pestering him to ask where there were more young and unmarried humans. Oster was overwhelmed, and replied that in the barracks, near Sentinel Ridge, there were several forts, and there were the guards of the Western Prefecture and the Kingdom Corps;
Then the night did not say a word, and under his gaze, which was no longer surprised, he once again stripped naked in public, transformed into a crow, and flew away south with his luggage in his mouth.
Truth be told, this Cadore (i.e., Night Elf) was tall and tall, with a beautiful face, a human form more than a head taller than Oster, a pair of jewel-like dark green eyes, and a light purple skin with a healthy glow; At least from the outside, it's quite attractive. However, for some reason, there is always a natural infatuated temperament all over her body, which makes people stay away; Maybe this is the legendary remnant beauty.
Later, because the Beast Control Circus secretly took in fugitive slaves and strong men, they were often troubled by the government; In addition, with the tightening of the Northern Expedition, various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes made the business almost unsustainable. When the rebels moved to the vicinity of the crossroads, Modias simply led the crowd to flee.
After many considerations, Oster believes that Modias is a righteous and generous person, deeply loved by the members of the troupe and the nearby villagers, and has been in charge of the circus for many years, and has considerable management skills and experience, making him the best choice for the lieutenant.
What's more, he has a whole group of beastmaster hunters under him. Oster knew very well that although he was somehow regarded as an unruly juggling industry here, reduced to a dog and cat showman, he had seen the hunters' skills, whether it was logistics supply or reconnaissance support, they were all good hands, and they should definitely not be just circus clowns.
Auster secretly had a spectrum in his heart; He plans to use the Beast Control Circus as the main body, use the intelligence and survival skills of hunters, and cooperate with the spell-casting ability of artists and adventurers to build a long-range ADC force, which is fully capable of attacking the core of the future rebel army. Although he was about to leave, Skar treated him well, and leaving a new force was considered to repay the kindness he had received during this time.
Modias's appointment came as a surprise. For within the Alliance, the Kazmodans have always been third-class citizens;
The first class of nature is human beings; The second class is the races such as high elves, goblins, and ogres who have mastered spell-casting abilities and a lot of wealth; The third class is the Kazmodan people (dwarves and gnomes of all races). As for orcs, trolls, kobolds, etc., they belong to the slave group and are not counted as citizens.
Although in terms of the Holy Light doctrine, the Kazmodans are the same as the Titans, and they are related to ancient humans; However, due to the late joining of the alliance and the weakness of the country, the inhabitants have no special abilities and technologies, and only rely on their own hands and physical strength to dig and forge, so they have long been regarded as slaves and workers, and have been discriminated against. The League also gave them contemptuous names such as dwarves, gnomes, and cavemen because of their short stature and the cave-dwelling they lived.
Ironforge also became a protectorate of the Human Alliance for a long time after its initial failure to resist the Alliance's military invasion. The Copperbeard family is the great comprador slave owners who represent the interests of the Terrans, and they sell their fellow Black Iron and Brute Hammer tribes as hard labor and herdsmen to the human nations, especially Stormwind, in exchange for the power to rule for a long time.
During the previous Ironforge Crisis, Stormwind City directly sent troops to violently interfere in the internal affairs of the Kazmodan Kingdom, and threw the rightful heir, Princess Moira, into prison; As a result, the civil war broke out in three hammers, and the situation in Dan Morro was unstable, and a large number of residents were uprooted from their homes. Modias was one of the many refugees who fled to the Kingdom of Stormwind during this period.
Because they have no fixed place to live and no place to live, many dwarves who have fallen into the human world have formed gangs and engaged in stealing chickens and dogs, which is very unpopular with the locals.
Regardless of his origins, Oster gave real power to immigrants, much to Modias's deep influence and earned the respect of the rest of the gang.
But Oster was not aware of this, nor was he aware of the complex background involved. When Modias thanked him and said that he would live up to his trust and mission, he knew that there was such a thing as an inferior citizen;
The game he knows is a simple adventure world, a fairy tale of the soul of a group of middle-aged people, how can there be so much class discrimination and intrigue?
