At two o'clock in the afternoon, Anduin arrived at Hetan Town riding [Light Element].
Accompanying him were Lor'themar Theron, several guards, and the orange cat Olivia.
Although Anduin and Lor'themar belonged to the Alliance and Horde camps respectively in their previous lives, there was great hatred between the two camps.
However, the two camps also have a history of uniting to fight against foreign enemies many times. Coupled with the social nature of "playing cards", the two have become a lot more familiar with each other, at least they no longer hate each other.
After riding [Light Element] to the top of Thorn Ridge, the guards on both sides of the bunker saluted Anduin one after another.
Anduin waved to them in a friendly manner, and then said happily to Lor'themar:
"Lor'themar, at the foot of the mountain is River Beach Town, which is our base camp. Your Excellency will also come to welcome us."
"Um."
Lor'themar didn't have too complicated mood swings. He nodded and looked down the mountain.
His profession is a ranger, and he can see very far even without using [Eagle Eye].
Looking around, the front of the town at the foot of the mountain was densely packed with townspeople, needless to say, they were all here to welcome Anduin.
Looking towards the center of Hetan Town, we can see the hard-working farmers, bustling markets, crowded alleys, clean and hygienic streets, and dozens of two-story buildings under construction in the west of the town.
A prosperous scene, thriving and full of vitality!
Lor'themar couldn't help but praise: "The construction of the base camp is much better than I imagined! I originally thought that this place would be as dirty, messy, and poor as Shuipong Town, but the cleanliness was completely beyond my expectation... and
The population is also larger.”
"Of course!" Anduin smiled:
"Before I went to Shuisong Town, the territory's population had reached about 7,500 people. Now it is estimated to have exceeded 8,000 people, which is twice as high as Shuisong Town!"
At the same time, Anduin also sighed: "Thanks to you, sir. If you hadn't managed to earn so many gold coins, Hetan Town wouldn't be able to support such a large population, let alone develop... etc.
,Olivia, what are you doing?”
Anduin was lamenting the development achievements of River Beach Town when he noticed that the orange cat Olivia suddenly jumped out of his arms and rushed towards the people who came to greet him.
Like a hungry lion seeing a fat antelope.
…
Olivia quickly reached the front of the crowd and stopped in front of a little girl. This little girl was Vivian.
Seeing Olivia staring straight at her, Vivian was startled and hurriedly hid behind Sean.
Olivia remained unmoved and flew behind Sean in a spin, grabbing the book in Vivian's hand with her claws.
This book is the second part of "The Prince of Alsace" that Vivian is reading. When she saw the cover of the book, Olivia flew over regardless.
But at this moment, Kate, who was in the form of a black and white kitten on Sean's shoulder, meowed "meow", and green vines condensed into a wall in front of Vivian, blocking Ovelia's claws.
At the same time, Kate also smiled and said: "Vivian has just read half of this book. Isn't it appropriate for you to rob it like this? And haven't you heard what Sean said? Don't impose on others what you don't want."
"Kate, it's you again!" Olivia was furious, and the hairs on her neck and back stood up one by one:
"What, do you want to fight with me?"
As Olivia spoke, she reached her peak state and quickly broke through the barrier and arrived in front of Vivian.
"Little girl, can you lend me the book first?" Orange cat Olivia showed an anthropomorphic smile on her face.
"Yes...it's okay." Vivian said timidly, and quickly handed the book to Olivia.
Olivia got the book, circled around Kate twice as if she had won an incredible trophy, and then flew towards the Morning Star River in the east.
Kate had been using natural spells to restrict Olivia's movement just now, and when she saw that she couldn't restrain her, she was itching her teeth:
"Stop!"
After saying that, Kate turned into a green light, and the two cats flew towards the Morning Star River one after the other.
...
...
Of course Sean noticed this episode, but he didn't say anything and instead walked towards Anduin.
Anduin responded enthusiastically to the townspeople, got off the back of the light element, and said to Sean:
"Sir, Lor'themar and I are back. We had a safe journey without any casualties."
Lor'themar also saluted Sean: "Lord... Sir, I'm here."
"Very good!" Sean smiled and nodded, and said to Lor'themar: "Lor'themar, you must be tired from the long journey, right? I'll ask my servants to take you to rest, and you will go to Port Capul with me tomorrow.
.”
"As you command, my lord!" Lor'themar replied immediately.
Sean handed Lor'themar to Anton, the butler standing behind him, and asked Anton to arrange a room for him to rest.
Then, Sean looked at the jubilant crowd and said to Anduin with some jealousy:
"Anduin, look, there are more townspeople who came to greet you than me, and they are more enthusiastic. It seems that you are more popular in the town!"
Sean pointed to the bustling crowd around him. The townspeople were all shouting Anduin's name.
Anduin quickly smiled and said: "This may be because I am a consul.
I often try various cases for the townspeople and help build and repair houses.
Moreover, the townspeople welcome you purely out of love, and the person who greeted me is probably someone who came to see me for something. If you don’t believe it, you will understand after I exchange a few words with the townspeople."
After Anduin finished speaking, he took a few steps forward and walked in front of the townspeople:
"Hello everyone, I am Anduin, the consul of the territory, and I am back!"
A burst of cheers immediately erupted from the ranks of the townspeople:
"Welcome Lord Anduin back!"
"Lord Anduin, where have you been these past few days?"
"Hetan Town can't survive without you. Fortunately, you are back."
...
At the same time, several strange voices immediately appeared among the townspeople:
"Lord Anduin, my dog ​​is lost, can you help me find it? Dogs are humans' friends..."
"Shut up! How can a big man like Lord Anduin help you find a dog? Lord Anduin, my wife seems to have betrayed me and often stays up all night. Can you help me see..."
"Lord Anduin, there was a conflict between the original residents of the town and the new freedmen and they had a fight. It is said that one of the new townspeople had his legs broken!"
"Lord Anduin, many people in the town recently said they bought fake goods..."
"Lord Anduin..."
"Lord Anduin..."
The townspeople seemed to have finally found an outlet for the long-simmering flood, and they all told Anduin about the various troubles they had encountered recently.
Anduin's scalp went numb when he heard it.
He is actually quite willing to help the townspeople deal with these problems, but there are too many townspeople asking questions!
Chapter completed!
