"Huh? Huh? What? " A dumbfounded expression appeared on Wu Ruian's face. He was unable to recover from Xiao Ran's words for a moment. Suddenly, he was a little uncertain about the current situation.
You said you were a visitor from another world and I prepared a banquet for you. Then you told me you were a merchant and came here to make a deal with me.
I agreed to your deal, then you told me you weren't a merchant, but a mercenary. You actually wanted me to hire you.
Forget about being a mercenary, what kind of deal was you talking about? Undead Scourge? Burning Legion? Orc Undead Dragon? Was this something a normal mercenary could do? Did you know how difficult it was to deal with these things? Even if you were a visitor from another world, you couldn't make it sound so easy.
Xiao Ran smiled and gently raised his hand. "Looks like I scared you."
Wrynn shook his head and came back to his senses. He pretended that nothing had happened and laughed. "Not at all. However, what you said is indeed a little surprising. Please, regarding the employment, we can discuss it properly during the banquet. Now, I would like to introduce you to everyone."
In fact, Wrynn didn't know how to introduce Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran's situation was very simple. The Archbishop of the Holy Light received a hint from the Holy Light that a mysterious person from another world had come to Stormwind City. Dalaran's Magician also received a vague prophecy that a mysterious person would appear in Azeroth and bring about great changes to Azeroth.
As for how the Holy Light and the Magician received this information, Xiao Ran could only say that he didn't know. However, it couldn't be separated from the effect of the Mystic title. 999 Reputation was quite useful.
In Ferryn's eyes, Xiao Ran, who was wearing a mask, indeed gave off a mysterious vibe from head to toe. However, Ferryn did not know what was mysterious about him. Of course, if he wanted to know, he could not say that he was mysterious. He could not feel the slightest wave of Holy Light from Xiao Ran, and he could not tell if Xiao Ran had undergone strict training. The luxurious clothes he was wearing did not look like the kind that was suitable for battle. He did not wear a staff or a robe, and he could not tell if Xiao Ran was a mage. However, he did not have a weapon or a shield. He did not look like a warrior.
Wrynn also knew that Xiao Ran came to the palace by asking for directions. He could roughly guess what Xiao Ran's purpose was. Otherwise, why would he need to ask for directions to find such a huge palace in Stormwind City? This was clearly a deliberate attempt to tell others that Xiao Ran was preparing to come to the palace. Coincidentally, because of the Holy Light's warning and the Mages' warning, Wrynn wanted to personally receive and test this so-called mysterious champion. Hence, he organized this banquet. However, whether Xiao Ran was a friend or foe, and how strong he was, could only be slowly tested during the banquet.
The banquet was a good banquet. There were delicious food, good performances, and the atmosphere was harmonious. There were no melodramatic scenes where someone stood out and purposely stuck out his face and got beaten up. Halfway through the banquet, the guests were all enjoying themselves. Xiao Ran did not put on airs either. He kept a smile on his face and drank all the wine in his glass politely to those who raised their glasses to him. A little bit of wine was not enough to make Xiao Ran drink too much, and Xiao Ran did not feel that he was being targeted by so many people just because he was a guest.
Wrynn had been paying attention to Xiao Ran the whole time. Although he could not see Xiao Ran's gaze because of the mask, Wrynn was very sharp. As long as someone raised their glass to Xiao Ran, even if Xiao Ran's face was facing the other direction, he would immediately turn around and raise his glass in response. From this point of view, Wrynn could see that Xiao Ran was not ordinary.
After observing for a while, Wrynn decided to be more proactive. He laughed heartily and said, "Sir, are you satisfied with today's banquet?"
"Very good, very unique." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded. He put down the glass in his hand and said to Wrynn, "King Wrynn, you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Arikos."
"Hahaha, in that case, I won't stand on ceremony. Arikos, you can also call me William," Wrynn said with a smile. Urion smiled. "Alex, I can see that you're dressed differently as well, but I can't tell if you're a mage or a warrior. Your clothes are luxurious and unique. I'm sure you have a special identity in your world, don't you?"
Xiao Ran nodded and smiled. "Indeed, according to your understanding, I'm equivalent to a king in my world. It's just that my world is still considered peaceful, and I don't want to be tied down by miscellaneous matters. So, I prefer to travel between different worlds and see the unique styles of different worlds."
"Oh." Wrynn was a little surprised. He said, "So you're a king too, Arikos. Sorry for the lack of hospitality today."
Xiao Ran shook his head. "Not at all. As long as I'm happy, even if I'm eating barbecued meat in the wild, it'll be sumptuous. If I'm not happy, even if I'm eating delicacies, it'll be tasteless. However, I'm really happy here. I've already felt your sincerity, William."
Wrynn felt that Xiao Ran was really a talent. His words were pleasing to the ears, and he was able to make people feel happy. He had casually said something that made Wrynn feel the most comfortable.
Wrynn laughed. "Haha, Arikos, you're right. As long as I'm happy, everything will be sumptuous. Hahaha."
Xiao Ran smiled, and said, "William, you asked me whether I'm a mage or a warrior. In my world, you meant that there are two professions, right? I've learned about your world before. Mages, Warriors, Paladins, Druids, and Warlocks are all different professions. However, in my world, there isn't such a division of professions, nor is there a professions system similar to this world."
"Speaking of which, I feel that I'm more like a puppeteer who controls a huge puppet to fight. If I'm not wrong, there should be something like the Fel Reaver in this world, right? The puppet I'm talking about is probably something similar to the Fel Reaver, but I also have some special abilities. So, I don't have to use the Fel Reaver to unleash my power."
Wrynn nodded. "Oh, I see."
Xiao Ran smiled. "Of course, I'm still very confident in my abilities. Besides, the understanding of war in our two worlds is slightly different. So, what I said to you before is true. I hope to collect some things that belong to your world, such as knowledge, the inheritance of professions, materials, special food, creatures, and so on. However, I can't use the things I have on me to exchange for enough rewards. I can only show off my strength as a mercenary."
"Of course, compared to other forces, I'm more willing to work with those who are on the side of Order to eliminate those who bring destruction, sacrifice, destruction, and war to different worlds."
"However, from my point of view, we can actually find out why the races that bring destruction and pain to the world have become like this. Even if most of the people in a race have become crazy, there should still be some who advocate and desire peace. Pure war can't solve any problems. If we can work together and reach a consensus in many aspects, it will be easy to see the dawn of peace. Then, we can set aside our prejudices and biases to reach a certain level of fairness. Then, it won't be difficult to achieve multi-racial integration."
"In my country, perhaps it's because of the resources, but true peace and integration have already been achieved. It's not just the racial integration between planets, but the racial integration of the entire universe."
Xiao Ran glanced at William, and continued, "Although I'm very sorry, I'd like to speak the truth. Ever since I came to this world, I've seen that there's a lot of suspicion, hatred, arrogance, and conflict between people and races. However, no one is willing to step forward to resolve these conflicts. Instead, they just want to use war to solve the problem. However, other than bringing about more sacrifices and greater hatred, what benefits can this bring to this world?" Xiao Ran said, glancing at William.
"I don't deny that some races have been filled with destruction and destruction, even in my world. Of course, such races can be enemies. Everyone can unite to face them together. This is also the direction that this world should be developing in, and not endless internal strife. Azeroth is very, very big, and can accommodate all these races to live and develop together. However, all the races have chosen the wrong path. I don't know if this is inevitable in the development stage."
Xiao Ran suddenly said so much, and for a moment, Urian was a little confused. He was really confused, and the word "confused" was written all over his face.
Xiao Ran took out his personal communicator and placed it on the table in front of him. He tapped it twice lightly and looked at Urian again. "William, are you interested in seeing my world?"
Urian nodded blankly, and Xiao Ran used his personal terminal to project a video. It was a video that was equivalent to the length of a movie. Xiao Ran's actions naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and the whole hall slowly quietened down as the video played.
The video started with the universe, and then a huge fleet with no end in sight. Countless mecha shuttled back and forth in the fleet, clearly showing off the scale of their military power.
Then came the war. Countless insects from the MUV world appeared in the universe, and they were densely packed as if they had covered the entire universe. These disgusting monsters could be seen everywhere. Some planets were completely occupied by these disgusting things, but under the attack of the huge fleet, they were unable to withstand a single blow. Some planets were even destroyed. Once again, it was a proper show of their powerful military power.
The video of the war was not long, and the next thing that appeared was the situation of some territories. In the territories of the fleet, the insects and humans were living harmoniously, and many different races were working together. Many strange races appeared in the video, and of course, humans were among them. However, in the video, even though there were separate tribes, everyone was still able to live together harmoniously.
"Are these the Orcs? And the Felines, the Kobolds? What are those, the Murlocs? "
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, this is too unbelievable. So this is what the universe is like?"
"The most unbelievable thing is that all the races can live together without any vigilance. Won't there be any conflicts?"
"Is there something wrong with your focus? That mecha only needed one to destroy a planet. Those countless monsters were reduced to ashes in an instant in front of that mecha!"
Gradually, some voices appeared in the hall. Urian's face was even more confused, but it was gradually covered by surprise and doubt.
Xiao Ran looked at Urian and said, "Don't you think that this kind of world is the real future?"
Urian laughed bitterly and said, "I can understand, but it is very difficult to achieve. I can't imagine how long it took to achieve this in your world. Relatively speaking, Azeroth may still be very young. Perhaps one day in the future, there will be a grand occasion similar to the one in your video, but I don't know if I will have the chance to see that day. Furthermore, there are too many problems in Azeroth, and the hatred is already very deep. It will be very, very difficult to achieve."
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, every peace is not easy to come by, but I believe that one day, there will be such a grand occasion."
The image of a human and an Orc hanging out in a bar together suddenly appeared in Urian's mind. The human suddenly became him, and the Orc became the Warchief. He immediately shook his head and quickly changed the topic. "Is this your kingdom? You already have such a large territory in the universe."
"Not just the universe, but many worlds. My territory includes many worlds, all under my army." Speaking of this, the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth curled up slightly. "In fact, there are some coincidences between my army and this world. This world has a Burning Legion, but this' Burning 'means to burn to the end. In my world, my army is also called the Burning Legion, but it means that the light of hope and peace will never be extinguished. After knowing that this world also has a Burning Legion, I suddenly had the idea of having the two Burning Legions face off against each other. I want to see who can use the name of the Burning Legion. Is it their destruction, or is it my hope and future?"
"But I guess that's the case. We have the ability to single-handedly destroy planets. No, it should be said that I alone can probably destroy most of the power of the entire Burning Legion. But to this world, I'm just a traveler. I can take action, but what can I get in return?"
"So, William, do you want to make a deal with me? You guys collect things that I find interesting, then sort them out according to the names and prices. What kind of missions can give you what you want, then I'll complete your missions in exchange for what I want. Be it the Undead Scourge or the Burning Legion, I think there will be a price. You can set the price. Gold coins, materials, knowledge, profession inheritance, whatever are good. To you guys, it's just taking out the things that you originally stored and copying the knowledge and inheritance. Compared to the rewards, you guys should be the ones to profit."
"If you choose to reject, then I can only look for other people to complete my deal. Although I'm not willing to join in the chaos and create chaos, the forces of Order shouldn't only consist of humans. After all, I'm also a human, so I came to you first."
