Chapter 64 Defias Brotherhood
Coming out of Stormwind City is the picturesque Elwynn Forest.
But no matter how beautiful the place is, it won’t be easy to see players scattered all over the mountains and plains.
Fortunately, the monsters in the game can be refreshed infinitely, otherwise these mangy wolves and giant spiders in the wilds of Elwynn Forest would have been killed long ago.
There is no need to be too cautious on such a low-level map. Raging Waves goes directly across the wilderness and takes a shortcut to the Western Wilderness.
The overall tone of the Western Wilderness is yellow, not the golden color of a bumper wheat harvest, but the withered yellow color of crops that have been abandoned due to lack of care.
It seems that life here is not easy either.
But at least it's better than the lifeless Black Shore.
Raging Waves moves along the main road.
Along the way, you can see wild boars, carnivorous birds, wheat field puppets and other monsters, but they will basically not survive for a few seconds before being torn apart by players.
From a distance, you can see a solid stone outpost, which is Sentinel Ridge. The NPC who announced the remaining two tasks of Dead Mine is here.
Raging Waves first unlocked the bird point outside, then entered the outpost and found Grian Stroman, the leader of the Western Wilderness People's Army and a paladin with gray hair and a resolute face.
"That group of bandits who call themselves the Defias Brotherhood drove us kind civilians away from the Westfall. They must be responsible for their crimes! I ask you to find out. We must know who is their leader.
, and where they are hiding."
"Oh my old baby, their leader is Edwin VanCleef; they are hiding in the Dead Mines, just issue a mission and let me destroy them."
Grian Stallman didn't hear what Nu Tao said, and insisted that Nu Tao find a little thief named Willy to find out the information.
There was no other way, Nu Tao could only accept the mission, and then opened the map, ready to see where the little thief Willy was.
Redridge Mountain?
No, it’s just to get some information. Is it necessary to span three maps? Do you know how far it is? In the real world, this means spanning three provinces!
Compared with Gillian Stallman, the boss who asked his employees to go downstairs to buy cigarettes can be regarded as a philanthropic person.
There is no other way. For the sake of the ultimate reward being blue equipment, just run.
I kept running, not even stopping to collect herbs and ores along the way. It took me more than twenty minutes to finally reach Lakeside Town in Redridge Mountain, where I found Willy the Thief in the Lakeside Town Inn.
Willy is wearing a black night suit, has a strong build, and covers one eye with an eye patch. He looks like a ruthless character, but when he speaks, he is extremely cowardly.
"I am risking my life to speak to you now. Give this note to Stallman. It contains everything I know about the Defias Brotherhood."
Nu Tao took Willy's note and saw that it was not sealed, so he opened it and read it.
"Stalman:
Some brave guy actually found a stranger to talk to me about the Defias Thief. You once saved my life, and now you put me in extreme danger.
But I still owe you a favor. The Defias Brotherhood is far more powerful than you think. From Westfall to Elwynn Forest, every mine is under their control. They have also recruited kobolds.
They carried out their orders with the gnolls, and the goblins forged metal monsters for them, which were used to rob the local residents on the western wilderness farms.
They have a huge underground network. Stormman, this network is bigger than you know. They have forces from Booty Bay to Stormwind Keep. Maybe you are a brave Paladin, but if you think
, if you can stop them by yourself, then you are stupid. They are working on a weapon of mass destruction. In short, the special skill of those masons is how to make big things. You would not think that they
Are you only interested in pumpkin fields and vineyards? I have repaid you for the help you provided me. Now, stay away from me!
─W》
Well, I came all this way just for this letter.
Fortunately, there is also a gryphon flight point here in Hupan Town, so you don’t have to run back on two legs.
Raging Waves chose the destination of Sentinel Ridge in the Western Wilderness with the gryphon administrator, and paid two silver coins as rent. A griffon appeared out of thin air, carrying Raging Waves straight into the sky.
Yo ho!
Nu Tao couldn't help but shout loudly.
The gryphon ride is obviously more powerful than the hippogryph, but not as smooth as the hippogryph.
After a 20-minute journey, the gryphon flew to Sentinel Ridge in only 2 minutes.
Give Willy's note to Grian Stallman. He is a little confused about the word "mason" mentioned in the note. He can't figure out why the stonemason is connected with the Defias Brotherhood, so he asks him again.
Nu Tao handed this note to Mathias Shore, the leader of MI7, in the barracks in the old city of Stormwind City, and asked him if he knew any information.
Okay, I have to run errands again.
Fortunately, the bird point in Stormwind City has been unlocked, and I can fly back on the griffon without having to run on two legs.
Because Stormwind City is closer than Lakeside Town, the rent only costs 1 silver coin, which is very affordable.
After flying to Stormwind City, Raging Waves came down from the city wall, followed the map to the old city, and found Mathias Shore in the barracks.
This man is Stormwind City's biggest intelligence chief, but he looks more like a warrior. It's hard to believe that he is a powerful assassin.
After Mathias Shore learned the purpose of Nu Tao's visit, his expression seemed quite complicated.
"The Stonemasons Guild in the past was run by a man named Edwin VanCleef. After the end of the First Orc War, VanCleef took on the important task of rebuilding Stormwind City on the ruins left by the orcs. Very soon
Obviously, Van Cleef was very dissatisfied with the treatment His Majesty the King gave them after the reconstruction project was completed. In short, it will take some time to explain a lot of specific things.
I have detailed instructions here for you to take to Westfall and give them to your employer. You must take this to him immediately!"
He handed Nu Tao a report, and Nu Tao read it first without any ceremony.
"Lord Stallman─
The Masons' Guild is composed of the most skilled architects, and its leader is Edwin VanCleef. During the First Orc War, Stormwind City was razed to the ground by the orcs, and these masons participated in the reconstruction of Stormwind City. VanCleef
He and his craftsmen are all outstanding architects, and their attainments and artistry in architecture can be seen from the two buildings of Holy Light Cathedral and Stormwind Fortress.
However, Stormwind's military power expanded from Elwynn Forest to Stranglethorn Vale, which saddled the nobles of Stormwind with heavy debts. The high debts weakened the economic strength of the entire kingdom, making it impossible for them to fulfill their previous obligations to Fankree.
The reward promised by the husband and his masons. After working hard for several years to rebuild this glorious city, these masons left heartbroken and were completely forgotten by the city's corrupt officials.
I've personally spent a lot of time with Edwin VanCleef, and from what I know about him, let's just say it's not that easy to be an enemy of him. You know, he's my childhood friend, and I personally trained him.
, because I thought that one day he would work side by side with me. If Van Cleef is the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, then we can only hope that the Holy Light will have mercy on our souls.
Mathias Shore
Stormwind City Assassins Guild》
Stormwind City's biggest intelligence leader and the biggest reactionary leader are actually childhood friends, which is something Nu Tao didn't know before.
