Chapter 18 Father, I want a piece of land

The future looks bright.

Jialin saw a smooth road appearing in front of him, but he had just started, and what he needed now was to proceed steadily.

I forced myself to suppress the excitement that was about to overflow from my heart, but the corners of my mouth couldn't help but grin to the back of my ears. The surprise was so great that I couldn't control myself at all.

Be low-key, be low-key. You are going to be the king, so you must remain calm in the face of praise or criticism. Hahaha, no, I’ll have to laugh for the last time.

After calming down with great difficulty, Garin looked at the Archmage and the Paladin, who were caught in a dilemma.

When Garin played Warcraft in his previous life, he was used to starting with the Archmage. If he started with the Paladin, he would not have much of an advantage no matter which race he was fighting against.

But in the real world, Paladins are still very popular in the future. In Azeroth, where there is the Church of Holy Light, people know that professionals who can use Holy Light are people who are favored by Holy Light, and they must be people of noble character, which is conducive to improving the reputation of Garen's men in the human world.

The archmage is also beneficial to Garen's development. Stromgarde is a kingdom of warriors. Even King Solas believes that fists are supreme and does not value mages very much. Therefore, there are few mages in the country.

The most powerful of the few court mages was killed by Medivh some time ago.

Garin has always felt that in a magical world like Azeroth, magicians are equivalent to scientists on Earth. If spellcasters can use magic in their daily lives through research and make magic popular and universal, it will promote social progress and human society will develop rapidly. For example, the Silvermoon City of the high elves is like this.

In addition, Garin urgently needs combat power. He has no shortage of high-level melee combat power, and his subordinates Omar and Varokal are now competent. A high-level magician, whether it is long-range attack power or using spellcasters to fight spellcasters, is the current shortcoming of Garin's team.

The Paladin can wait and be summoned before the Second Orc War.

In the end, I chose the starting mage.

After giving the order to summon the archmage, Garin looked at the remaining wood and continued to deploy the farm on the open space. This was a big project and the food produced by the farm was very important.

Then he checked on the farmers' work and maxed out the training sequences in the town hall and barracks again.

Before leaving the base, he discovered that in the map scanned by the base, a route heading north was displayed in the area that had originally only been explored within a radius of 100 miles. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the white light spot in the northernmost section was where he was.

It turns out that the base is the same as in the game. In addition to scanning the map independently, you can also rely on yourself or the units in the base to go out and explore the map.

This discovery made Garin feel that he was right to choose the Archmage as the first player. Archmages can learn group teleportation at level 6, and then they can use this mobility to explore the entire surrounding map.

Omar and Varokal returned to the hotel and interrupted Garin's operation at the base. Seeing that the five soldiers had recovered from their injuries, the waiter came to tell them that the food was ready, so they went downstairs together and chose a table to sit down and prepare to have dinner.

It was around eight or nine in the evening. It had already darkened and the people in the town had finished their work for the day and returned home for dinner.

Most of the people in the inn were adventurers, caravanners and other outsiders who had all rushed to Sancha Town to rest before dark, so there were still quite a few people in the inn lobby at this time.

In previous life, when watching movies, TV series or novels, it was said that taverns were the best choice for gathering intelligence. Jialin wanted to verify it. While eating dinner, he pricked up his ears and tried to collect some interesting information.

"Have you heard that the Kingdom Highland Cavalry Regiment has had another armed conflict with the Royal Guards of the Kingdom of Alterac?"

"This is not uncommon, brother. In previous years, there have been dozens of frictions between Stromgarde and Alterac. Let me tell you a shocking news. Does the court mage advisor of Stormwind Kingdom know about it?"

The man who was speaking was wearing light leather armor and looked like a caravan guard. He paused deliberately after throwing out the word "mage consultant". In the eyes of these people, mages were synonymous with nobility, wealth, and mystery. The crowd of onlookers immediately quieted down and focused their attention on him.

He seemed to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention. He paused for several seconds. Before the spectators who didn't know the situation were about to lose their patience, he continued, "All dead. Five wizards in total. They died in extremely miserable ways. Their bodies were burnt by unknown flames, and most of them were twisted or even torn into pieces."

"Oh"

Everyone in the hotel seemed to sense the mysterious and terrifying atmosphere from his tone, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Who killed him? Has Storm Kingdom investigated?"

"Yes, yes. What are the results of the investigation? Who did it?"

"Their guardian Medivh is said to be the strongest among human wizards. Why didn't he find out who did it?"

Medivh said that it was me who did it. Unexpectedly, Garen answered the question for them in his heart.

Garin whispered to Omar beside him, "After this, go check which caravan this person belongs to. Caravans that can go to Stormwind City should be strong and well-informed. See if you can find someone among them to serve as our informant."

Omar turned around to indicate that he understood. He had always been responsible for intelligence work. The easiest way was to obtain information from passing caravans, mainly the royal family's own caravans or the caravans of the great lords, who were strong and had accurate information.

A more advanced approach is just like what Garin said just now, which is to choose some relatively strong caravans and adventurers, turn them into your informants, and specifically inquire about the information you want to know.

After this episode, the next topics of conversation were about a certain viscount who was caught meeting his lover and was caught as a thief, a certain lord whose wife put a colored hat on him, a dragon's treasure being found somewhere in Lordaeron, which adventurer successfully slayed a dragon, etc.

The only useful news was that the locals were discussing the newly appointed adjutant of the militia, Danas Trollbane, who had effectively repelled several attacks by the Witherwood tribe on towns and villages and rescued many villagers who had been captured by the trolls.

It was unexpected that Danas had just been promoted and was doing well. There was admiration and gratitude in the tone of these people, which showed that Danas had established an excellent reputation among them.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest for the night. Early the next morning, everyone set out back to Stromgarde.

When passing by the largest town on the Kingdom Avenue, Garin left three soldiers and the baggage cart here. This town was the only way for his caravan to return, so he left them to wait for the caravan and let Harmon Kawen deal with the spoils.

Finally, five days later, they arrived at Stromgarde. After entering the city, Garin went straight to the castle where the royal palace was located. In the castle, he saw King Solas who was being dealt with.

"Father, I want a piece of land."
