Organizations like the Defias Brotherhood may not be able to retaliate against the powerful and secretive Wayne, but after Wayne leaves, the Lawrence family, as ordinary farmers, may suffer brutal revenge from these bandits.
Next time, it might not be as simple as kidnapping. The world of Azeroth is not a fairy tale. The tragedies that happen in this world are even more brutal than those in the wizarding world.
The farmer, Mr. Lawrence, may not have thought of this at first, but after being reminded by Wayne, his face immediately became much gloomier and he fell into deep thought.
The farm girl Julie was very angry. She picked up a piece of bread on the table, took a few bites, and then said to Wayne:
"It's abominable, Mr. Wayne. My parents spent seven years and a lot of effort to build this farm."
"We farm and work honestly and have never done anything that goes against our conscience."
"Why do those bandits want us to give them our farm? They also want us to work for them for free. We are not their slaves. They are even more bastards than those orcs."
Although Julie had just reached adulthood, she was also a child who had experienced the Orc War and a life of displacement. Although she was not very old at that time, she had suffered a lot and endured a lot, but it did not hinder their yearning for a new life.
Mr. Lawrence was silent for more than ten seconds, then he sighed, looked up and said to Wayne:
"Mr. Wayne, can we hire you for another commission?"
Wayne heard this, thought for a moment and said:
"Mr. Lawrence, I have my own plans recently, but you can explain the commission first. If it does not conflict with my plans, I should be able to accept it."
Lawrence was a little disappointed, but he still said, "As you said, Mr. Wayne, our farm is too dangerous now. For the safety of my wife and Julie, I decided to temporarily abandon the farm and take my family to seek refuge in Shining Gold. My brother is the mayor there, and he will take us in."
Ding! Mission triggered [Escort Lawrence and his family to Goldshire Town], expert level.
Do you want to receive it?
Shangjin Town! Wayne pondered for a few seconds and ignored the task that appeared in his mind. Of course, he knew this town. It was the first novice town encountered after the birthplace of the human race. Any player who had played the human profession of the Alliance was somewhat familiar with this place.
His original plan was to go to the resource-rich Stormwind City to buy some otherworldly products, potions, weapons and equipment, or other valuable things.
However, when he met the Defias Brotherhood, he was reminded of the political struggles in Stormwind at that time. The Black Dragon Princess, the controlled king, and the colluding nobles made him a little reluctant to go to a place that was prone to trouble.
Now that Mr. Lawrence wanted to go to Goldshire, it reminded him of some ideas.
As far as he could remember, Goldshire was the closest town to Stormwind City. It was rich in resources, well-equipped, and seemed to have many skill trainers, which just met the requirements of his operation.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to go to this small town first. It would not attract attention, but he could still buy what he wanted. If he needed something else, he could even hire someone to go to the city to buy it for him.
Thinking of this, Wayne pretended to ponder for a moment, then agreed to Mr. Lawrence's commission and also took on the expert-level task given by the system.
Mr. Lawrence was very happy to find a powerful adventurer like Wayne as his bodyguard. He increased the reward for this escort mission to twenty gold coins, which is already a very generous reward for ordinary adventurers. In addition to recognizing Wayne's strength, part of it was also to repay him for saving his life.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Wayne. Please allow us to stay on the farm for a day. After all, we need a day to pack up all the luggage and belongings."
Wayne nodded understandingly. He said:
"No problem. I'm not in a hurry. After I escort you to Shining Gold Town, I'll probably stay there temporarily. Maybe we can even become neighbors."
………………
A few days later, Wayne escorted the Lawrence family, as well as several farm worker families who were willing to go to Goldshire with them, into the Elwynn Forest area.
Sometimes, Wayne couldn't help but sigh that the system must be an existence with a higher level of power. It defined this escort mission as expert-level, and he really didn't encounter any strong enemies along the way.
The same was true for past missions. The system was always able to predict the difficulty of the mission before anything happened. This must be something that many gods cannot do.
The escort mission was relatively smooth. There were about twenty people in the group in total. Apart from some blind wild beasts, they encountered an attack by werewolf bandits. These rabble, who didn't even have proper weapons, suddenly rushed out of the forest with strange cries. After Wayne killed five or six of them like chopping melons and vegetables, they immediately fled in a hurry.
When Wayne, led by Mr. Lawrence, passed by a guard post, he even saw a very familiar wanted poster on the public notice board of the post.
The wanted poster for killing the werewolf Hogg offers a reward of fifty gold coins, which is quite tempting.
Unfortunately, because he had to escort everyone on their journey, he had no time to complete this interesting task.
After entering the Elwynn Forest, the road suddenly became safe. From time to time, you could encounter a small team of guards patrolling the road. Apart from occasionally seeing some wild beasts in the forest, there were almost no other enemies.
They walked along the road for another day. When they came to a fork in the road, Mr. Lawrence looked at the outline of the huge city surrounded by city walls and said to Wayne:
"Mr. Wayne, my previous wish was to open a bakery in Stormwind City. My father is a very famous baker in the city."
"Unfortunately, he died at the hands of the orcs during their invasion. At that time, I had just gotten married and had just given birth to Julie, so I was forced to flee to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, to Southshore, with my brother's family and the refugees in Stormwind City, to make a living there."
“It was a pretty tough time.”
"Now, my family has to give up the farm we built with great difficulty. Perhaps, I should open a bakery in Shining Gold Town and live a stable life with Julie and the others."
Wayne rode on a mare that Lawrence had lent him. He thought for a moment. As the town closest to Stormwind City, Goldshire had always been quite safe. It was indeed much better than other places. Thinking about the unrest that would last for decades in the future, as well as the natural and man-made disasters that would appear in various versions, he said, "That's a good idea, Mr. Lawrence. In fact, we don't need to be rich. As long as we can live happily and peacefully with our family, that's enough."
"Although I have never been to Goldshire, I heard that it is a nice place. You can consider it."
This is a small town with thousands of people living in it, and it is also built on a major transportation route. A very important trading town.
From afar, hundreds of buildings of all sizes stand together in an orderly manner. The evening sun shines on the town, and wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys on many roofs, making the whole town seem exceptionally peaceful and tranquil.
Perhaps someone had informed them in advance, and when they arrived at the road outside the town, a decent-looking middle-aged man with a mustache and medium-length hair came up from the town with a few people.
After seeing Mr. Lawrence's family and the workers behind him, the middle-aged man with a mustache smiled happily, opened his arms, made a hugging gesture, and said, "Welcome, my brother and my niece, come to my house, your sister-in-law is preparing a sumptuous dinner, our family hasn't been together for a long time."
When Mr. Lawrence saw the man, he immediately walked over quickly. The farm girl Julie was one step ahead of her father and gave the mustache man a hug. She said happily, "Uncle James! I haven't seen you for a long time. Cousin Harley, didn't I come with you?"
The two brothers looked at each other, James touched Julie's hair and said with a smile:
"Harley is currently studying at a church school in the city and usually only comes home on weekends."
"She must be very happy that you can come to live in Goldshire."
Half an hour later, the other workers were arranged to stay in a hotel in the town, but Mr. Lawrence refused to let Wayne, his savior, leave and took him to have dinner with his brother and his family.
After some thanks and greetings, upon learning that Wayne was also planning to temporarily live in Goldshire, the mayor of Goldshire, James Lawrence, expressed a warm welcome.
He took the initiative to pour Wayne a glass of red wine and said enthusiastically, "Welcome, Mr. Wayne. A powerful adventurer like you is exactly what we need in Goldshire Town."
"Tomorrow I would like to introduce you to our Goldshire sheriff, Mr. Duhan. He is a veteran of Stormwind and the leader of all the guards in Goldshire."
"Goldshire Town has just been repaired, and all industries are short-handed. And the guards under Mr. Duhan are all new recruits who have not experienced the tempering of battle."
"If there is an adventurer like you who is willing to help him, it will definitely solve many problems for our entire town."
………………
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. Wayne rented a spacious house in Shining Gold Town and lived a very fulfilling life.
During this period, apart from occasionally helping Sheriff Mr. Duhan to solve some difficult problems, the most thing he did every day was to find the alchemy trainer Ms. Silicona in the town to buy alchemy materials from her or learn alchemy formulas.
Although Ms. Silicona was only an intermediate alchemist, she was very generous. Although Wayne also learned alchemy by paying money, this lady never kept the knowledge for herself. She was very serious and meticulous when teaching him, so he quickly learned seven or eight formulas.
These include primary and intermediate healing potions, as well as primary and intermediate mana potions.
Because of his experience in refining witcher potions and his own alchemy skills reaching level five, he learned very quickly, causing Ms. Silicona to call him a genius.
After learning alchemy from the world of Azeroth, his auxiliary skills of alchemy and alchemy were merged into universal alchemy, and the level was fixed at five.
Universal Alchemy LV5: The effect of alchemical products is enhanced by 20%, and the success rate of refining is increased by 5.
The original skill expertise has also changed, but because Wayne's current ability points are not abundant, he did not choose to light up the alchemy skill expertise.
But even so, the gains from this trip made Wayne quite surprised.
Because in the world of demon hunters, there is no potion that can directly restore magic power, but there is only potion that speeds up the recovery of magic power like the Tawny Owl.
Similarly, the Swallow Potion only speeds up the recovery of body damage, but it will not quickly heal wounds and achieve a therapeutic effect like the healing potions in the world of Azeroth.
The most important thing is that although these two potions in the world of Azeroth also have usage interval requirements, they are not toxic and can be used normally by ordinary people. In this respect, they are much better than the potions used by demon hunters and warlocks.
It can be said that even just the methods of making these two potions made Wayne's journey to another world worthwhile.
Therefore, during his spare time in the Town of Shining Gold, he had been constantly making healing potions and mana potions. On the one hand, it was to improve his alchemy level, and on the other hand, it was to store this precious combat resource.
That afternoon, Wayne had just completed a commission from Sheriff Duhan to clean up the little fishmen. After receiving a bonus, he also completed the experts and tasks assigned by the system.
As soon as he got home, he saw Julie standing at his door holding a basket. Her wheat-colored skin had shown some signs of whitening after half a month of recuperation. Her towering breasts made her blue-gray dress bulge out. Her long brown hair was tied into a ponytail and hung at her waist, and she wore a wreath of small white flowers on her head.
Although Jolie's appearance is not stunning, she has a very good figure. In addition, she often does farm work, so her body lines are not as weak as many women.
After seeing Wayne, the girl immediately smiled cheerfully, waved at him, and shouted:
"Wayne, my mother asked me to bring you some fruit. I've been waiting for you for half an hour."
When Wayne approached, the girl saw some smelly blood and fish scales on Wayne's armor, wrinkled her nose and said:
"It stinks! Wayne, did you go kill the murlocs today?"
Wayne took the basket from Julie reluctantly, then took out the key and opened the door. He turned around and asked the girl who had her hands on her hips and had no intention of leaving, "Would you like to come to my house and sit for a while, Julie?"
Julie nodded immediately when she heard this, as if she had been waiting for Wayne's invitation.
