Van Cleef did not agree, but he also did not refuse directly, which was a good result for David.
According to his original thoughts, the possibility of Van Cleef being directly recruited to Winter Village by him was not high. His original plan was to try to persuade Van Cleef to let him recruit those members of the Brotherhood who had families and families and did not want to fight with the Kingdom of Stormwind.
, let those who just want to live in peace and contentment come here.
So he didn't think he could recruit many people at first, because the top brass of the brotherhood headed by Van Cleef were very united.
At the same time, Van Cleef is not a selfish person. David is not worried that Van Cleef will conceal this information in order to take revenge on the nobles of the Kingdom of Stormwind. No matter what he thinks, he will tell the craftsmen in the Brotherhood about David's recruitment.
They - if Van Cleef was that kind of selfish person, he could have accepted the recruitment of the nobles of Stormwind City, abandoned other craftsmen, and enjoyed a luxurious life in Stormwind City with several leaders of the Stonemason's Guild.
"Although I really want to say that you can take your time and consider it. My invitation is valid for a long time. However, I still want to remind you, Mr. Van Cleef, that the Defias Brotherhood is not as monolithic as you think. The longer the delay is, the more things will happen.
The more likely it is.”
David's words made Van Cleef frown. The top stonemason and assassin suspected that David was deliberately trying to sow discord within their brotherhood.
"I'm not provoking, but the development of the Brotherhood has long been beyond your control. Now you probably don't even know how many people there are in the Brotherhood!"
David didn't pay attention to Van Cleef's dissatisfaction. He had to mention this reminder, otherwise Van Cleef would really think that all members of the Defias Brotherhood were brothers and tell everyone in the Brotherhood about David's recruitment plan.
If you do that, the bronze dragon and the eternal dragon may not come, but it is very likely to attract a black dragon.
Just because the Brotherhood was involved in Onyxia's kidnapping of Varian, it's certain that Onyxia has some plans on the side of the Defias Brotherhood - Edwin VanCleef certainly doesn't know what he's doing
Go down and kidnap Varian, otherwise with his plan to burn the entire Stormwind City and all the nobles in the city to rubble, it is impossible to do nothing.
"So, your idea is to rebuild the entire village?" Winter Village is not big. Even if you include the farmland area, it doesn't take much time to see it all. Van Cleef and David have already walked to Winter Village.
On the bank of the river, facing the vast river surface: "I would like to know how the craftsmen who come to the village can ensure their livelihood after the reconstruction work of your village is completed?"
"Then slowly build it, and one day it will be finished."
"What?"
"Tirion Fordring."
"Yes." David led Van Cleef to the farmland area: "Actually, it has been less than a year since Winter Village was actually established. This farmland was just reclaimed during this year. It is still there.
All kinds of materials need to be distributed uniformly to ensure that everyone in the village has enough to eat."
Standing up and hanging his cruel barb back on his waist, Van Cleef followed the village chief named David out of the wooden house.
"I do want to visit."
Sometimes, what people want is such a reason to look forward to!
"We're almost done with the tour." Van Cleef still didn't have a clear answer, and he couldn't make a decision on this matter alone. After he went back, he had to discuss it with his old friends. In the end, he should stick to the current direction and continue to work with Baofeng.
The kingdom is dead? Or should we choose another path and start life again in another place?
"Then let Tirion take you back!" Fording has been following the two of them, and those who didn't know better thought he was David's loyal guard!
"Very rough workmanship!" Van Cleef commented habitually, and followed David into a relatively large wooden house.
Winter Village... Van Cleef thinks that if possible, it would be a good choice to let the good brother's family live here.
Van Cleef didn't care about just one or two meals. He finally couldn't help but asked curiously: "Everyone in the village eats here? Is the food provided by the village?"
"Mr. Van Cleef, are you interested in visiting Winter Village?"
Anyway, that's what Van Cleef thought. It wasn't until then that he knew that the paladin's name was Tirion: "I don't know the full name of this paladin yet..."
No matter what he thought, Van Cleef did have to consider those brothers. The craftsmen were the breadwinners of their families. Before, there was really no choice but to fight with the nobles of Stormwind City.
"Of course not. I will let the new arrivals build their own residences first, and the people in the village will give some help in this regard." David turned around and pointed to the Winter Village not far away: "You should have seen it.
There are only a few houses in the village, and the construction of residences is not a priority, so the new arrivals have no place to live."
I looked around and saw that they were all houses built of wood. The only one built of stone in the entire village was the one on the side and front. According to David, it was a blacksmith shop.
"Tirion... Fordring?" Van Cleef was stunned for a few seconds, and then his face was full of shock and disbelief: "Tirion Fordring of the Knights of the Silver Hand?"
David feels that the key factor why the Defias Brotherhood has caused so much damage throughout the Kingdom of Stormwind is the secret help of Onyxia, the black dragon. This help should be more direct and closer than what is expressed in the game, such as
Part of the Brotherhood leadership takes orders directly from Onyxia...
"This is the village's canteen. Currently, everyone living in the village eats here." David led Van Cleef to visit the inside of the canteen and immediately walked out: "It's a pity that it's not time to eat yet, otherwise we can
Treat Mr. Van Cleef to lunch with us."
Now that there are other options, does Van Cleef insist on taking his brothers and their families to die with the nobles of Stormwind City?
As a competent leader, he believed that he could not do that; and personally, he did not want his not-yet-old daughter to perish with him.
The slightly cool air hit his face, shaking his whole body. The extremely fresh air made him feel good. Living in a mine is not such an interesting experience. Who doesn't like to breathe fresh air?
Although he was thinking this, Van Cleef said nothing and quietly followed David around the small village.
"You think I will let the craftsmen build various public facilities first and complete the basic construction of the village, right?"
"This kind of problem is very simple. It can be solved by building a few larger temporary residences." Van Cleef glanced at David: "As for what you said, letting everyone have their own residence, that won't happen in a short time.
It can be done.”
After everyone has a stable living environment and various jobs appear in the village, it will return to normal. Everyone has their own job and obtains their needs through normal transactions.
After a few reminders, David did not continue. Even if what he said was correct, Van Cleef would not like to hear such words. If he mentioned a few words, it would be considered a kindness, but if he mentioned twenty words, it would be enmity.
"Oh!" Van Cleef understood what was going on in David's village now. He originally thought that Winter Village was just a good environment, but when he heard that the village was only established less than a year ago, he was not surprised that the village was so small:
"So, if someone from the fraternity comes here, they will be treated the same way?"
"Is not it?"
As for himself? He hasn't thought about it yet, but he doesn't want to let those bastards off easily. He really can't swallow the bad breath from back then.
David glanced at Fording in surprise, "You haven't even introduced your identity? You really entered the deepest part of the Death Mine with the guidance of the Holy Light."
Van Cleef looked at the young face in front of him in surprise. He felt that this young man thought of things too simply, but the other party's seemingly unrealistic words touched him even more - if the nobles of Stormwind City back then
It's not a firm statement that he will never give money, but he said that because of financial difficulties, he can only give it slowly, and maybe the Defias Brotherhood will not even be born.
"Huh?" David didn't understand what Van Cleef's question meant at first. He wanted Winter Village to have a new look. Would it conflict with the lives of the craftsmen? After thinking for a few seconds, he understood what Van Cleef meant: "What do you mean?
Something was wrong."
"Yes." David was very happy when he heard Van Cleef ask this. If the other person asked, it meant that he was considering the possibility of coming to Winter Village. Otherwise, there would be no need to ask: "The village has just been established, and the deployment is centralized.
Various resources will ensure that there will be no problems in all aspects. Once the various foundations are completed, normal life can be restored."
David briefly described his thoughts: In the early days of the establishment of the village, food and other resources must have been centrally supplied, because many people who had just arrived in the village did not have any food reserves or any money, and there were no various people in the village at the moment.
This kind of job allows them to quickly acquire wealth and use it to purchase various daily necessities, so they can only arrange it this way.
"That is all in the past." He has been expelled from the Knights of the Silver Hand: "Now I am just an ordinary believer of the Holy Light."
"..."
Van Cleef wanted to sneeze at Fording. You are the Lord of Hearthglen, one of the most powerful paladins in the Eastern Kingdom, and you are just an ordinary believer of the Holy Light. No wonder his men are so unbearable when facing this paladin.
In one blow, the training he received in MI7 seemed like a child's trick in front of this paladin.
At the same time, Fording's identity tilted the scales in Van Cleef's heart even more. After all, the Holy Light users at this time were all synonymous with excellent character - for example, in a mixed brotherhood, there was only one person who could use the Holy Light.
