Chapter 558: Spread
On the way to the end, Dlocker became very interested in the escort, and he kept probing Roald and inviting them to join his caravan. And when he was resting at the South Point watchtower, he also instructed the cooks accompanying the team to double the meat of the guards in the future.
Roald did not refuse his invitation, he just said that he would think about it, but would escort them to the Stormwind Kingdom to complete this hiring mission.
South Point Watchtower is a camp on the border between Silverpine Forest and Hillsbrad Hills. This camp is the outpost at the very edge of Ambermir.
The role of the South Point watchtower is naturally unclear to Dlock, as a merchant. It seemed to him that it had been set up by the Kingdom of Lordaeron to protect the safety of the civilians, but it wasn't something he wanted to think about right now, he had more important things to do.
Dlocker pulled out two replica parchment rolls from his pocket, as well as several sealed letters, and handed them to Roald.
"This is an order from the Council of Nobles of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Captain Roald asks you to have your men put it on the bulletin board here, and give the other copy to the prefect of this watchtower."
"Oh, don't forget those letters. All you have to do is shout a few times at the bulletin board, and the owner of the letter will come out for you. ”
The Chamber of Commerce and Trade, which dominates the Southern Theater, has been issuing this decision from the Council of Nobles to passing caravans a few days ago.
As merchants who travel the continent all year round, they have a certain obligation to deliver long-distance letters on behalf of the people who live on the continent. This can not only reap the blessings of others, but also sell their goods better to a certain extent, and merchants will naturally not refuse this kind of long-distance letter delivery service.
But when the Chamber of Commerce and Trade came up with these resolutions, the businessmen were surprised. This is the first time that a merchant has been used to pass on the government affairs of a kingdom. But thinking about the difficulties that the kingdom of Lordaeron is facing today, the merchants are also relieved. What's more, the next time they come here, they will get a certificate for free, which is well worth it for businessmen.
This kind of behavior of giving money is acceptable to everyone.
Roald looked at the parchment scroll in his hand, he nodded and said, "I'd better go there myself, and by the way, ask the chief here if there is any threat in this vicinity that needs to be paid attention to." ”
Dlocky nodded happily, and just as Roald was about to leave, Dedlock stopped him, "Come back quickly, Captain Roald." Our lunch has a lot of chocobo meat from the continent of Kalimdor. You must give it a try. ”
Roald smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Dlock." It won't take long. ”
Roald beckoned to the caravan parked off the main road, and one of the guards quickly stepped out and followed him, and they made their way to the watchtower.
"Dad, why do you have to let him come back before we eat?" Ti Mary Sue pouted and asked, "We've missed lunch, it's going to be dark in a few hours, and everyone is hungry." ”
"You don't understand, my little Tiny Mary Sue," Dlockk said to his daughter with a laugh, "and with Captain Roald here, our way back to the Stormwind Kingdom will be much safer." ”
Thinking back to Roald's shiny teeth, Mary Sue pursed her lips, and some of her yellowed teeth were exposed, "I don't like him, Daddy." ”
"Oh, then you can avoid him, we have a lot of carriages." Dlocky said disapprehantly.

"Captain, that Dlock wants us to be his bodyguard. He really dared to think it! One of the guards behind Roald sneered and said, "He actually asked a major in the Southern Theater to come and serve as his bodyguard..."
"Shut up, Lewandowski." Roald strode forward, and without looking back, said, "Don't underestimate these merchants, they have very good eyes. They have been running around this continent all year round, and they have seen all kinds of people. Be careful not to behave more than one exiled soldier. ”
"Head, let's be honest. We were just a bunch of guards, just under the name of the Ministry of Security," Lewandowski asked, puzzled, "Why did you send us to the Stormwind Kingdom on a mission?" Why not let someone else go? ”
"What? Do you want to stand on the post for the rest of your life? Roald snorted twice, "If that's the case, you're hopeless." ”
"No, head, that's not what I meant. I mean, we're ordinary soldiers with no training," Lewandowski said in a tangled voice, "Aren't the self-proclaimed agents in our department better suited to do this?" ”
"Don't use your brain to figure out what Lieutenant Colonel Anderson thinks. Like our head, Colonel Norris said. ”
"Never question the orders of your superiors, all you need to do is obey!"
"Well, I know." Lewandowski scratched his hair helplessly, "But that's not bad, at least when we arrive in the Stormwind Kingdom, we will appear in that country as a group of guards." ”
The South Point Watchtower is not very large, but it is a rest stop for many land trading caravans. Many caravans pitched their tents near it, hoping to rely on it for adequate security.
The soldiers at South Point were undoubtedly very happy, and they were able to enjoy the different delicacies and goods from all over the world that the merchants gave them every day. These are just a drop in the bucket for the merchants, but not for the soldiers here.
After all, as long as the goods are sold for money, this will increase the soldiers' salaries to a large extent.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the merchants took the initiative to give it to get shelter, and later in peacetime, the soldiers took the initiative to ask for it. Later, the undead were rampant, and the merchants began to take the initiative to give away, which became a reincarnation.
It's just that at this time, the soldiers rarely leave the South Point watchtower. They will not lose their lives for a small amount of possessions.
Standing in front of the bulletin board at the South Point Guard Tower, Roald tore off a large number of missing person notices and product advertisements on it with his hands. In the most prominent position on the billboard, the resolution of the Council of Nobles was glued to it.
In front of the crowded billboards, no one was surprised by their actions. After all, there are too many people who post things on bulletin boards every day, and there are not many of them, and there are no fewer of them.
But when Roald took out the letters and shouted "The messenger is coming" in front of the billboard, a few people quickly gathered around, including some soldiers in the area.
"Wood? Mr. Trode Wood? Here's a letter from you, from Eva! The sender is Miss Macarine. Roald looked at the letter in his hand and shouted.
"This! Over here! Mr. A small soldier in a violet robe squeezed in, and he excitedly said to Rod, "I'm Wood, do you need to see my identification?" ”
"No need," Roald smiled as he handed the letter to the agitated soldier.
"Thank you, sir, thank you." The soldier said excitedly as he held the letter in his hand.
"Hah, that's what we should do."
Roald sent the soldier away, and he continued to read.
"Gilka?"
"Here! Mr! ”
"Ira?"
"Here!"
One by one, the recipients took their letters from Roald, but many people still surrounded them. Roald opened his free hands and said to the crowd around him, "Gentlemen, there are none. ”
The people gathered here immediately showed disappointed expressions, and soon the crowd dispersed. And behind them, the conspicuous meeting of the nobles, was posted there, and no one looked at it.
"Shall we stay here for a while?" Lewandowski asked his captain, and he pointed to the resolution, "What if we're gone, who tore it up?" ”
"Don't worry, no one is going to tear this thing off." Roald looked at the resolution carefully, he smiled and said, "Unless this thing falls off on its own, as long as it is pasted, no one will dare to touch it." ”
"Let's go, let's go and give the last copy to the commander here."
"Captain, it's also our job to spread this resolution, why should we let the merchant do it for us?"
"Isn't that good? Someone will attract our attention so that we can end the matter without suspicion. ”
"But..."
"What are so many? Does the Ministry of Security need that much? Obey orders! Lewandowski, although your sister is my wife......"
The two left, and the resolution was prominently posted on the billboard. If nothing else, it will be quickly spotted and spread here.
After all, Lordaeron had been too long to delegate his orders and decrees to every territory he belonged.
Not long after Roald and Lewandowski left, the resolution was discovered by someone who tried to find information about their loved ones on bulletin boards.
The man's shouts of surprise and excitement quickly attracted the attention of the others, and the crowd around the place grew.
The message was passed on, and this was the case in other places where humans gathered.
It is expected that in the future, these decisions will be passed from Eva to the Kingdom of Stormgard, to the Eagle's Nest, to the Ironforge Fortress, and to the Stormwind Kingdom.
Even at the southernmost tip of the continent, Booty Bay, the goblins' busiest port, would have such a resolution posted.
As long as there is a place where merchants flow, there will certainly be no less such resolutions! Since then, the various intelligent races have known such a name.
Rock Harvey, the new commander of the kingdom of Lordaeron, or the hope of his rise. That land of despair may be undergoing another change.
Maybe? Is the dawn of humanity's once most powerful kingdom coming soon?
Of course, non-human races naturally don't pay too much attention to this news, they think more of it as one of the information reserves of their brains. The human race, on the other hand, will be careful to figure out what the Lordaeron Noble Council meant by doing so, and will begin to understand the story behind the name.
It is unusual that this resolution of the Kingdom of Lordaeron can be passed so far at this time.
