Dave raised his head, and what he saw in front of him shocked him. The jackals who had been showing their teeth just now were lying quietly on the ground. He believed that even the cavalry captain of Sentinel Ridge could not defeat him in such a short time. These gnolls.
Pulling out the war blade stuck in the soil and carrying it on his back, Alvin looked at Dave who was still shocked: "Take your ring, we have to leave here. I wonder what delicious food there is in the western wilderness: stew Meat?"
Two figures were walking on the road. Dave was carrying a huge bag filled with "trophies" he had looted from the gnoll corpses.
"I just learned today that there are heroes like you in the Western Wilderness!" Dave kept praising Alvin along the way. With these things in his backpack, he was able to make his family live comfortably for several years.
Ivan looked at the clouds in the sky and suddenly said: "Do you know who the king of Stormwind City is now?"
"You need to ask? Of course it's King Ryan!" Although Dave is just a farmer, as a citizen of the Kingdom of Stormwind, he still knows who his ruler is.
"Ryan...it seems I came at the right time." Alvin whispered.
The two people met a carriage transporting fodder on the roadside. The enthusiastic driver took them all the way to Alex's farm. When the swaying carriage arrived at its destination, the sun had already set below the ground.
In the open space in front of the mill, a woman was talking anxiously to the farmers around her. Dave, who got out of the car, saw her and shouted excitedly. That was Dave's wife Hill. Apparently Dave had been waiting for so long. The poor woman was very anxious when she didn't come back.
"I'm worried to death Dave! Where did you go to sleep?!" Seeing Dave appear in front of him, the gathered farmers also left. They still had many things to do.
"Hey, dear Hill, I gained quite a lot when I went out this time!" Dave smiled as he opened the huge package. There were many things piled messily inside: rusty axes, dusty silk, unknown animals of leather…
"Where did you find so many things?!" Hill took out the piece of silk with the best material: "This is a good piece of material, I can use it to make a dress!"
"Everything is thanks to this hero! But now is not the time to discuss this. Let's go back quickly. Mr. Irvine needs to eat some food!"
Dave's residence was near Alex's farm, and the three of them arrived quickly.
This is an ordinary hut, and a little girl with blond hair is sitting on the steps waiting at the door.
Dave's family brought out their best food to entertain Alvin, although there were only a few slices of bread and a plate of pickled animal meat on the table.
After eating only a piece of bread and a few pieces of meat, Alvin put down his knife and fork and pushed the plate to the side of the little girl, who kept looking at the plate of meat.
"I've finished eating, and I'll give you the rest!" Ivan touched the little girl's hair and said with a smile.
Dave and his wife by the stove were counting the items in the package. Hill exclaimed from time to time. This game similar to opening a blind box made her very excited!
Seeing Alvin standing up, Dave asked Hill to do the counting alone, while he accompanied Alvin out of the room.
"I plan to leave for Stormwind City tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions?" Ivan looked at Dave and said with a smile.
The latter smiled awkwardly: "I have never been to Stormwind City in my life. Goldshire is the most prosperous place I have ever been to."
"So, how did you go to Goldsmith Town in the first place?" Ivan continued to ask, "Did you ride a gryphon?"
"Griffin? That's a tool for the mage master and the nobles. The cost of a ride on a griffin is enough for our family to spend a long time!" Dave spat, obviously he didn't have very good sense for these upper-class people.
"Go on, it was a special experience! We rode the carriage all the way north, and encountered many dangers during the journey: fishmen, wolves, jackals, and by the way, there was a group of jackals to the west of Stonefield Farm. Man, their leader has killed many innocent people passing by!" Dave looked at the war blade behind Aiwen and said with a smile: "Of course, there will definitely not be any danger to you, if possible, Aiwen! Mr. Wen might as well spend some time to get the gnoll's head, Goldshire will pay a large sum of money."
"I will consider it if I have time!" Ivan said casually.
Looking at the girl holding a plate at the door, Alvin reminded: "I think the West Wilderness is not a good place. If possible, it would be better to move to live near Stormwind City!"
"I am also considering whether to move away. After the troll invasion, this place has not returned to its original state until now, and my daughter also needs to be taught by a teacher." Although this man has no ability, he really puts a lot of effort into this home. Put your best effort into it.
Early the next morning, Ivan put on the linen robe Hill had sewn for him and set out alone. Instead of taking a carriage, Ivan decided to walk there by himself. He wanted to experience running from Westfall to Stormwind City again: that was him Memories of youth.
By evening, Alvin finally realized that the Western Wilderness was just a small map in the game. He had been walking along the road for a day but had not yet seen the bridge leading to the forest.
…
Three days later, a man with an eyepatch on his head and a strange weapon on his back appeared at an intersection in Goldshire.
"If there is a chance, I must find a mount!" Ivan missed the hundreds of reins he once had.
"Get out of the way!!" Just as Ivan lowered his head to think, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, which was the cavalry team belonging to Stormwind City.
Walking to the roadside and looking at the knights galloping, Alvin noticed the strong smell of blood on their bodies. It seemed that these soldiers had experienced a cruel battle!
"This is the first batch of scouts sent by the king?" said an old man in the hotel next to him.
"Some mysterious creatures have appeared in the Black Swamp, and we still don't know if this will be another troll attack!" A young man in the crowd responded to the old man's question.
"In any case, we only need to pay the food and taxes on time. We should leave these things to the big shots to worry about!" As the cavalry team left, Goldsmith Town once again restored its original order.
Alvin originally planned to taste the specialties of the Lion's Pride Inn, but now he decided to follow these cavalry to Stormwind City, where there is the news he wants!
