351. Chapter 348: Dwarven Guns and Earldom



After the black dragon clan's conspiracy was exposed, it caused a huge wave throughout Stormwind City.

In the following half month, MI7, the military, and Regent Bolvar, who had freed himself from Occultia's mental magic, the three strongest forces in Stormwind Kingdom joined together.

By sharing power and intelligence, they carried out a swift and thorough cleansing of the entire aristocratic council and all the Countess's networks, thus removing a cancer from the kingdom.

As the biggest contributor to the entire incident, Wayne not only received the appreciation and gratitude of many important figures, but his status in Storm Kingdom also rose sharply, and he became a friend of Storm Kingdom.

The entire kingdom's top leaders attached great importance to the information he provided about King Varian and took immediate action.

In the world of Azeroth, the power of the leader is extremely important. A good leader often determines the rise and fall of a race and the fate of the entire force.

In order to find Varian and save their king, Stormwind used almost all of its strength, and its efficiency was astonishingly fast.

That morning, when Wayne woke up in the most luxurious hotel in the city, the pastor's sister was no longer by his side, and only the faint fragrance of the girl remained.

Paltress is a girl who is very devout to the Holy Light, otherwise she would not have become a high-ranking priest at such a young age and mastered the powerful power of Holy Light.

Even if the two of them fought until midnight and she was exhausted, every morning, this devout girl would go to the Cathedral of Light on time to perform routine holy light prayers and handle the related matters she was responsible for as a senior priest.

Wayne had no objection to this, instead he quite appreciated it.

Compared to the vase girls who can only be kept in a golden house and in the boudoir, he prefers beautiful women who are capable and have their own independent personality.

It is difficult for a man to achieve anything alone. Only girls who are both capable and trustworthy can make his life smoother.

As soon as I left the room and arrived in the hall, a neatly dressed servant came to greet me.

"Mr. Wayne, His Excellency Regent Lord Bolvar invites you to attend the palace dinner tonight. Prince Anduin will also attend."

"There will be a special carriage coming here to greet you."

Hearing this invitation, Wayne nodded and gave an affirmative response.

Although it was not clear why Bolvar invited him, as the regent of Stormwind Kingdom, he had to be given this face.

In the past half month, he has not left Stormwind City, but has visited many shops in the city and carried out a number of large-scale shopping activities.

He bought magic equipment, fine potions, magic books, magic scrolls, and all kinds of high-end items from the world of Azeroth, intending to use them to strengthen the power of the Demon Hunter Cult.

Spending thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins in a short period of time has made Wayne the most famous tycoon in the city. He often receives invitations from various businessmen, and his every move is watched by many people.

What surprised him most was that he actually bought muskets and cannons in the dwarf shop in the city.

The structure of the dwarf hand cannon was very different from the modern firearms he remembered. It had a short range but great power, a bit like a shotgun, and had quite a large recoil.

However, these are not problems for demon hunters whose physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people.

These powerful firearms are very suitable for dealing with knights in heavy armor or huge monsters, and can be equipped to the demon hunters in the academy.

Wayne purchased hundreds of dwarven muskets and a large amount of ammunition in one go. The large quantity directly frightened the dwarven merchants.

This short and strong man, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, had a big beard on his face and was as big as a stone pillar. He shook his head and said in embarrassment:

"Master Wayne, if it's a dozen muskets, we can still get enough in our shop."

"But you need several hundred muskets. Even if I hire all the dwarf blacksmiths in the city, such a large order cannot be completed in a short time."

"But if you're willing to wait, give me a year and I can complete this order."

Hearing the dwarf blacksmith's answer, Wayne shook his head in disappointment.

The speed of time flow in the world of Azeroth is not much different from that in the wizarding world. It is impossible for him to stay in this world for so long for the time being.

Although I can wait until the next opportunity to come to Azeroth to complete the transaction, things are unpredictable. Who knows what changes will happen in the world after a year.

Wayne stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said to the dwarf blacksmith Narant:

"How about this? I will raise the purchase price by another 30%, and the purchase quantity will increase to 1,000 dwarven muskets."

"And you will be my agent, and I will entrust you to go to the dwarven city of Ironforge to purchase this batch of goods for me. The purchase amount can fluctuate by about 30%."

"It will take about two months to deliver. This is enough time for you to travel back and forth between Stormwind and Ironforge."

"What do you think of this proposal, Mr. Narant?"

Upon hearing this proposal, the smart dwarf blacksmith Nalet's eyes lit up and he immediately realized that this might be his chance to rise to prominence and change his life.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, he immediately agreed to the deal.

For the dwarf blacksmith Nalant, this was a sure-win deal. Even if he failed to complete the share agreed with Wayne, he would not suffer any loss.

And if he completed this deal, Nalanthe might become rich overnight and become a wealthy and influential tycoon among the dwarves.

After negotiating the deal with the dwarves, in the evening, Wayne entered the Stormwind palace as promised and attended the royal dinner arranged by Regent Bolvar.

At this dinner, he not only met King Varian, who looked quite cowardly, but also saw the cute and handsome little prince of Stormwind, Anduin.

After half a month, both King Varian, who had only half of his soul left and whose personality had changed drastically, and Prince Anduin, who had received a good education since childhood and was quite precocious, expressed their sincere gratitude to Wayne.

King Varian even wanted to directly appoint Wayne as an earl of Stormwind and reward him with an earldom in Elwynn Forest.

Wayne felt the goodwill of Stormwind for such a reward, but he still politely declined the reward for the territory.

The world of Azeroth is too dangerous and will experience many crises that could destroy the world in the future. It is not a suitable place to live for a long time.

Moreover, as a huge world, Azeroth has a lot of unowned lands. If he wants to own a piece of territory, as long as he has enough power, he can even occupy territories the size of several kingdoms without the need for rewards from others.

However, as a symbol of friendship with Stormwind City, after careful consideration, Wayne accepted the title of earl and became an honorary noble of Stormwind City, Earl Wayne.

In the medieval magical world of Azeroth, nobles and commoners are completely two different species. Once someone has a noble title, everyone will look up to him and will not treat him as an insignificant commoner.

After eating and drinking, the king and the prince left the banquet, leaving only Regent Bolvar, Shaw from SI:7, and a sturdy, dark-skinned officer at the table.

This is Marshal Windsor of the Stormwind Military, the highest commander of the military.

After a brief silence, Regent King Bolvar broke the bottleneck, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Earl Wayne, according to our arrangements, a fleet of 300 people will set off tomorrow to the Kalimdor continent to find our king."

"Although you rejected our invitation and did not participate in this operation."

"However, we still have an unwelcome request, and I hope you can consider it."

After becoming the Honorary Earl of Stormwind City, the relationship between the two sides became closer. Wayne smiled and nodded, saying:

"Please go ahead, Your Excellency the Regent."

Bolvar glanced at Shaw, then said, "The continent of Kalimdor is too huge, and according to your intelligence, King Varian is still under the control of the Orcish Horde. We cannot send a large army to rescue our king."

"That advance team of 300 people is still too weak."

"So we are going to organize a Dalaran envoy group to go to the magical kingdom of Dalaran and seek the help of the mages."

"You also said before that your next destination is also Dalaran."

"So we would like to invite you to come with us, and hope that you can protect the safety of this delegation."

Wayne was silent for a few seconds after hearing this. He felt that if it was an ordinary delegation, there would be no need to hire him for special protection. Obviously, this delegation was quite special.

"Why did you invite me? If you're just a messenger, can't you just use the wizard's teleportation technology?"

As if he had seen through his confusion, the taciturn Shaw spoke up, "I will be traveling to Dalaran with King Varian and Prince Anduin."

"Please also bring your captive, the Black Dragon Princess Oknessia."

"Black Dragon's words are not trustworthy. Her black magic may not be unsolvable. We want to go to the Magic Kingdom and seek help from the great magician Master Anthony."

"And according to intelligence, His Excellency Grand Pope Faol seems to be in the Kingdom of Lordaeron as well."

"If we can get the help of these two, King Varian's affairs should not go wrong again."
