Gate of darkness, March 17, 26, port of Nanhai Town, talemyr City, Hillsbrad Province, Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Originally, the port was only used as a relay station for civilian ships, but it was also used for military purposes in the northern Xinjiang war. Therefore, the scale of the port has been expanding, especially after the wise and benevolent queen Kariya took over the throne. In order to accommodate the old people who had just returned home from all over the world, Nanhai town quickly began to expand, along with the port, At least three times larger than before.
It is said that her majesty is very concerned about the development of Nanhai Town, so the administrative efficiency of the local bureaucrats is also very high. In just three months, the construction of the port has been completed, just in time for the end of the Great Northern Expedition. The continuous flow of trade ships and military ships soon revitalized the port, The whole Nanhai town has become more prosperous than before.
"Ding Ding Ding"
With the ringing of the bell at the port, the dock workers sitting on the dock chatting and waiting for work immediately took action under the scolding of the foreman. Not far away, a merchant ship marked with the emblem of storm kingdom is slowly berthing, and the deck is full of people. Obviously, this is a ship carrying "pioneers". In the past more than a month, This kind of ship is only the most popular guest in Nanhai town.
However, the ship looked a little different, because the mayor of Henny Mareb personally took the guards to the edge of the port to welcome some big people.
Seeing this scene, the thieves mixed in the bustling crowd of the port walked away one after another. These three hands who will never disappear are the best at observing words and expressions. Just from the immediate situation, what is coming is the real big man. They will not risk doing something. At present, the veterans of the northern expedition have just returned to their motherland, There are many returning veterans in Nanhai town. If something goes wrong at this time, they will be beaten by those veterans who have not recovered from the fever of war. Half a month ago, the idle ones even took the initiative to unite with the local sheriff to wipe out a gang of gilnis bandits in Biyu mine cave. It is said that the poor bandits, It's said by the villagers nearby that the place still has a lingering smell of blood until now.
Of course, no one would go to those veterans for trouble at this time because of such a small matter. Two thirds of the soldiers who died in the northern expedition were awarded the medals of the kings, and most of them were Knights of symbolic status, Has entered the aristocracy.
The whole people of Lordaeron know that the queen gives special treatment to these veterans who fight for her country. The royal family and the leading aristocrats, the Mograine family and the Fuding family, are the solid backing of these rude veterans. Even if things go wrong, these veterans who like to unite will not have any loss, and no one wants to provoke them, Especially when they have just won a brilliant victory for the world.
A few minutes later, the boat slowly came to the shore, and the wooden steps were all down. The first one to go down the deck was a big guy. He was wearing a decent long suit, a fluffy Cape, a sword in his waist, and his hair was gray, but his eyes were sharp. He was a guy who had experienced the battlefield, followed by a seven or eight year old child and his mother, Obviously, this is a family.
Behind him, there was a servant with his luggage. When the middle-aged man stepped on the port, he looked left and right. Then he saw the mayor of Mareb who came quickly. He welcomed him with a smile and a strong hug.
This is obviously an old friend meeting.
"Duhan, you bastard, I haven't seen you in six years. You only wrote me a few letters. I thought you died in that corner."
Mayor Mareb, who has always been kind to people, is just like a rude veteran, and the middle-aged man opposite him is not willing to show weakness,
"I'm writing to you to confirm that you are still alive, not to die in the hands of those undead, so that I will avenge you at the first time... In the burning plain, I owe you a life, old brother, I never forget."
Mareb waved his hand with a smile, then reached out and patted the boy's head behind the middle-aged man. "Little Duhan, don't you know uncle Henny?"
"Of course he doesn't know you. He was only two years old when he last saw you!"
Duhan rubbed his son's hair, then noticed his brother Mareb's formal robe. He asked curiously,
"What? Do you have any business to deal with today? "
The mayor of Mareb laughed and said in a low voice, "what do you want me to say, Duhan? Last time you ran into Stormwind city with Marshal Windsor to rescue the king, you also got a title of Lord, but you still can't learn the rules of this circle... There's a big man coming with you in the same boat, and you don't know all the way?"
Duhan's face was a little queer. He scratched his head,
"Well, I didn't notice that. Who are you talking about?"
"Mr. Heaney is talking about me. I'm sorry, Mr. Duhan. I didn't mean to hide my identity. It's just... It's my duty to act cautiously."
A clear voice came from behind Duhan. Several people looked back. A young girl in a sky blue skirt was walking down the stairs with her skirt angle. When Duhan's son saw the girl, he ran over with a smile,
"Sister TYA, you are so beautiful today!"
A girl with blonde hair picked up little Duhan with a smile, went to several people and introduced herself,
"To meet you again, Lord Duhan, Lord Heaney, my name is altaia, altaia eberlock, the new mayor of the grizzly province of storm Kingdom, the new amber Pine City, um... If I remember correctly, Lord Duhan should be my future deputy."
This girl's name is not surprising, but what really matters is her surname, eberlock. There is only one eberlock in the upper class of the storm kingdom. The old gentleman's title is... Duke. That is the real aristocracy who has appeared with the storm Kingdom since the late king Ryan and even earlier. This young girl is not unexpected, It should be the next patriarch of the eberlock family.
Her future title will be the Duchess, but now, she is just a count, but even so, this is a big man that Duhan and Henie can't touch on weekdays.
"To you, count!"
Duhan and Henny bow to salute at the same time. Altaia waves her hand carelessly. Then, under the leadership of Henny, they go to the accommodation for this great man. Behind them, the pioneers from the wild west of storm Kingdom take their only salute. Under the "farewell" of the sailors, they are a little uneasy, When they set foot on the harbor of Nanhai Town, their faces were mostly full of foolish panic, but there was still a trace of expectation for a new life.
Most of them were destitute in the western wilderness where difia and the people's army were fighting. No matter how prosperous Azeroth's magic civilization was, the productivity of the world itself remained at a very low level. In fact, if it were not for the northern expedition, panda people from pandaria, in order to better integrate into the civilized world, paid a very low price, The large amount of food sold to the alliance tribes, just the continuous hunger during the war, is enough to trigger riots that shake the foundation of the kingdom.
Not long ago, the unrest caused by the difia bandits group has just been calmed down. However, with years of war raging, it will take at least three years for the original granary of storm Kingdom and the western wilderness to resume production. These homeless vagrants and the people of the destitute class have nowhere to go. They are simply packed by the royal family and sent to the new province, far away in the grizzly bear hills of Northrend.
The climate there is cold, and there are savage bear monsters and trolls, but the land is extremely fertile and large enough to accommodate at least 10W people. As long as the land is well cultivated, it is not a problem to become a second western wilderness.
In fact, three months after the end of the war, the whole world set off a wave of immigrants to the "new world". Among them, the largest number of immigrants were from the kingdom of Lordaeron. The north wind tundra was the first area to calm down. Queen Kariya even built the first administrative region there, The success of Zhiyuan county has inspired the nobility who have been eager to share the cake, and the people's demand for land is endless. In just two months, more than 2W farmers choose to go to Beifeng tundra province.
Frankly speaking, Northrend is not a very safe place now. Although Uther, the new Lich King, has tried his best to restrain the dead to stay in the icecap glacier, there are still some bad people who do not obey his rule and start wars everywhere in Northrend. However, in the eyes of rulers eager to meet their internal needs, the place is safe enough.
It is estimated optimistically that it will take at least 10 years for the immigration tide to go on like this, so that those isolated overseas territories can be truly integrated into the rule of various countries. In these 10 years, Northrend's general environment is bound to be chaotic, just as it is bound to be accompanied by many contradictions and bloody wars at the beginning of another world's choice to open up a new continent, For the development of Northrend, it must not be achieved overnight.
But the good thing is... When the shadow of the undead is gone, everyone has enough time to do it, at least on the surface.
Henny Mareb is an old bureaucrat. Under his arrangement, dusty altaia finally got a good reception, and all the guests and guests enjoyed themselves. Dohan, the Sheriff of Shanjin Town, also got the title of Lord after he joined the operation of expelling the black dragon with Marshal Windsor, This time, he was the leader of the third group of western wilderness pioneers to grizzly bear Province, where he was going to be the city Guard officer of amber pine city. This position was sought by Marshal Windsor for him. In fact, it was one of the last places to settle down the wasteful money, which eventually led to the impoverished veterans.
As a matter of fact, Ms. altaia should not go to such a wild place overseas to serve as mayor at this time. The more reason is that altaia, who is free by nature, has been fed up with the endless stream of suitors. As a single woman of the right age in the upper circle, altaia is a real "million people fan".
Of course, part of the reason is that her relatives
Later, when altaia entered the private manor arranged by the mayor of Henny for her to have a rest, she was not surprised to see the figure sitting by the fireplace. She was a woman with silver hair under her black hood. She was wearing a thick magic robe, a ferocious white bone wand hanging from her waist, and a black magic book in her hand, I'm reading by the warm fire.
"Talenia, can you stop acting like this next time... I'm just an ordinary girl. I'll be scared to death by you."
Altaia rolled her eyes, took off her coat, and sat opposite the wizard in her close fitting short clothes. The wizard turned a blind eye to all this. In the face of altaia's complaint, she never even looked away from her magic code, but whispered,
"You know... It's your brother's order. I have to protect you."
"Hoo, that son of a bitch, canrysad!"
Altaia scolded very unkindly. Then she took a glass of wine and said to the warlock, "please send me a message to my dear" brother ". Next month is my father's birthday. I was far away from the border of the Kingdom at that time, so he must... Remember, yes! I have to go home. My poor old father has been guarding the eastern part of the Kingdom town for decades. What he worries about most now is the safety of that bastard. "
"You know, Altea, your brother is very busy... He's dealing with very serious business in another world, so it's hard for your expectations to come true."
The wizard named talenia stretched out a finger and scratched in front of altaia's eyes. "But I'll send this letter for you. It's hard to say if I can get a response."
"He has to go back!"
There was a bright smile on altaia's lips. "I know he works for Prince selamo again. If he doesn't go back, I'll go straight to Mr. Dick. He's in Northrend recently, isn't he?"
"The real big man can't find time to meet a little girl, my altaia."
Talenia closed the magic book in her hand, took a glass of wine, and looked at the girl opposite. There was a touch of green light in her eyes. Every time she looked directly at it, her body would tremble.
"For the sake of our good relationship... Let me give you a piece of advice, my Althea, stop foolishly pursuing everything related to the Duke of selamo. That's not the circle you or your father can step into. Even your brother can't save you. If you don't understand, treat him as a God when you look at him, The gods are also looking back at you... "
"But he has no interest in you."
