No matter what, Xiao Ran's words had convinced Urion. There were indeed many problems in front of Stormwind City. There were many existences that continued to threaten the world and Stormwind City. The most serious problem in front of Urion was naturally the threat of the Scourge. Of course, there were other problems, but in front of the Scourge, they were all secondary.
From the images that Xiao Ran had shown, Urion felt that Xiao Ran wanted to show him how strong he was, but images were always just images. Urion couldn't guarantee what kind of strength Xiao Ran had, so he directly threw the Scourge to Xiao Ran to deal with. If Xiao Ran wasn't strong enough, then it would be harming him. Furthermore, he wasn't the only one facing the Scourge, nor was it just Stormwind City. It was the whole of Azeroth, so this reward shouldn't be paid by Stormwind City alone. The Night Elves, Dwarves, and Gnomes should all be responsible for a part of it.
After thinking for a while, Urion said to Xiao Ran, "Xiao Ran, I can give you some quests first. If you can complete them, I will definitely give you the corresponding reward. However, as for the other quests, I need to discuss with the others to determine what kind of reward should be paid. After all, you came with sincerity, so I can't let you go back with disappointment."
"Of course, I don't think that will take much time." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Then you can tell me what quests you can give me and what rewards you can give me now."
"Okay." Urion raised his hand and waved. Soon, someone ran over with a map and spread it out in front of the two of them. Urion glanced at the map, then pointed at a point and said, "This place is called Stratholme. It used to belong to humans, but because of the Scourge, it has become a dead city. Now, it has become a stronghold of the Scourge. This city isn't too far from Stormwind City. If you can clear out the Scourge and completely purify it, I am willing to give you a set of class inheritance, the corresponding knowledge, and 100,000 gold coins or books, materials, and medicines of the same value."
"I know that 100,000 gold coins isn't too much, but the true value is the class inheritance and knowledge."
"Sure." Xiao Ran nodded lightly. At the same time, he also received a notification regarding Urian's mission. Xiao Ran said, "Regardless of how much this mission is worth, we'll take it as a sign of our sincerity. As for the purification you're talking about … What kind of purification do we need? It's simple to completely annihilate Stratholme and the undead around it. If you want me to do my best to ensure that Stratholme still exists, it'll be difficult for me to do so unless you can provide me with some people to clean up the mess. Without much experience, I don't know how to completely eliminate the power of death."
Urien was stunned for a moment. Then, he recalled the images that Xiao Ran had just shown him and understood what Xiao Ran meant. After a short pause, he said, "If you can preserve it, then do your best to preserve it. After you complete your mission, I will arrange for people to go there."
"Then I guess you'll have to make the arrangements now," Xiao Ran said with a smile as he stood up. "Trust me, it won't take more than a few minutes."
Xiao Ran walked out of the hall, and Urien hurriedly stood up and walked side by side with Xiao Ran. The rest of the people in the hall followed behind. When they walked out of the hall, they all looked at Xiao Ran curiously.
Xiao Ran reached out and removed his necklace from his neck. With psychokinesis as the key, the pendant of the necklace emitted a faint blue light. A beam of light shot out from the pendant and turned into a magic array. Then, the Winged Dragon God slowly emerged from the magic array.
Urien noticed the Winged Dragon God and the dragon patterns, dragon wings, and dragon claws on its body. He exclaimed in shock, "That's a dragon!?"
"Only a part of it is a dragon. Generally speaking, it's a scientific creation, not a magical creature." Xiao Ran nodded and turned to look at Urien. "I'll be back in about an hour. I hope you can gather my reward within an hour, Varian. You already know what I need."
After saying that, Xiao Ran slowly floated up and stood on the arm of the Winged Dragon God. The Winged Dragon God spread its wings and shot out green GN particles that shrouded the entire palace. It then turned into a green ray of light and quickly disappeared into the sky.
"My King, what should we do?"
Urien exhaled softly, and said in a deep voice, "Inform the knights to get ready. Contact Mage Dalaran and ask them to come to Stormwind City immediately. Also, get someone to prepare the promised items."
After the Winged Dragon God flew out of Stormwind City, Xiao Ran entered the cockpit and went all the way to Stratholme. This kind of action, coupled with the long tail formed by the GN particles, scattered light spots all over the sky, really made it look like a god was flying across the sky.
Xiao Ran felt that the quest this time was not bad. The class inheritance was worth it. In the real world, this kind of thing should be something like a class card. As for the purchasing power of the 100,000 gold coins, he wasn't too sure. In any case, 100,000 gold coins shouldn't be too little. It should be enough to trade for a sufficient amount of resources.
In fact, when Xiao Ran told Urien to return in an hour, he actually gave them some time. In half an hour, Xiao Ran had actually completed the mission. He spent some time flying above Stratholme and some time spreading the GN particles. After that, the entire situation of Stratholme fell into Xiao Ran's control. Next, the Winged Dragon God summoned over 10,000 Dragonscale Machines and quickly spread out. Not only did they clear out the Undead in Stratholme, but the high-intensity energy beams also annihilated the ghosts, not to mention the Undead. Lastly, the things hiding in the buildings were the last to be dealt with. A full-screen attack from one location covered the entire Stratholme. As for the random things within a few kilometers, Xiao Ran slaughtered them all.
What Xiao Ran had truly wasted his time on wasn't clearing out the monsters. Instead, he was collecting the loot the so-called monsters dropped. There were quite a lot of loot. Although most of them were materials, there were also some pieces of equipment. Moreover, Xiao Ran had actually obtained the Undead Horse's Reins. Xiao Ran felt as if he had just killed a Boss monster. Obtaining a Mount's loot was even better than obtaining equipment.
One hour later, Winged Dragon God once again appeared in the palace of Stormwind City. Xiao Ran also slowly floated down from Winged Dragon God's palm to the entrance of the palace.
Unlike when he left just now, there were fewer people coming out to welcome Xiao Ran when he returned. However, the number of people who came out to greet him was much greater.
Xiao Ran walked towards Urien. The latter and the people around him also came to welcome Xiao Ran. They opened their arms and exclaimed, "My friend, your actions are truly amazing."
"Don't be too surprised." Xiao Ran smiled and glanced at the people behind Urien. He said, "William, aren't you going to introduce these new friends to me?"
"My apologies for being rude." Urien laughed heartily and began to introduce the people behind him. "These people are the leaders of Stormwind City's staunchest allies. This is Muradin Bronzebeard, a member of the Dwarven Council, the leader of the Night Elves, Tyrande Windwhisper, the leader of the Gnomes, Great Artisan Mecatok, and this is Jaina Proudmoore, an emissary from the Kirin Tor Council of Dalaran."
Xiao Ran was not unfamiliar with the people who appeared together with Urien. Xiao Ran was even more familiar with Tyrande and Jaina, especially Jaina. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Her aura that could bring misfortune was very famous. She had caused a lot of people to die. Of course, there were also many interesting stories behind her.
The few of them walked to Xiao Ran and bowed to Xiao Ran with their own unique etiquette. "It's nice to meet you, mysterious powerhouse from another world."
Xiao Ran was rather gentle in the face of their respect. He placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly. "Hello, it's nice to meet you."
"That, that's a technological creation, right?! Incredible, it's simply incredible. "
Mecatok looked at the Winged Dragon God that was floating in mid-air with fascination. The strong sense of technology, machinery, and other special creations that were similar to magic or life fusion made Mecatok reach out and pull the Winged Dragon God down to study it carefully. To him, the only thing that was left was the Winged Dragon God, which was the perfect creation to him. The other things seemed to have been neglected.
Xiao Ran was polite. He smiled at the short Mecatok and said, "It is indeed a technological creation, but it also uses some very special technology."
Merkatorc turned around and looked at Xiao Ran. His eyes were shining. "Can I study it for a while?"
"I'm afraid that's not possible."
Mecatok's face was full of resentment and sadness. "Then it's a pity."
Xiao Ran smiled and put the Winged Dragon God back into the space in his necklace. He then entered the hall with everyone and sat down. Xiao Ran could clearly feel that everyone's eyes were focused on him. There was a kind of inquiry, a kind of surprise, and also a kind of suspicion. Among them, the one who was most suspicious of him was the famous Jaina.
Xiao Ran did not care about Jaina's suspicion and wariness. He smiled at her in a friendly manner and then looked at Urion. "I've completed my first mission. I've eliminated all the undead and monsters in Stratholme and about ten kilometers around it. I think there will be some turbulence in the next few days."
Urion said in a surprised tone, "I've received reports from the scouts. There are no more undead in Stratholme. Even the ghosts have all been eliminated. I can't believe you could do all this in such a short time without causing too much damage to Stratholme. Your control of power is amazing."
"Don't worry, my friend. I've already prepared everything I promised you. At the same time, I've also prepared a special catalog for you. You can use a certain amount of gold coins to exchange for everything in the catalog."
As he spoke, someone carried a box that was slightly bigger than a stationery box and a sheepskin scroll to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran first opened the box and touched the contents one by one. After confirming the validity of the so-called Class Legacy, or Class Cards, he slowly opened the sheepskin scroll and quickly scanned the contents.
"I'm very satisfied." Xiao Ran smiled slightly, and glanced at everyone. "My friends, since you're here, you're allies of the humans and Stormwind City. You should have heard my thoughts from William. Then, is there anything you don't understand or have any opinions about my attitude? As long as you can pay me accordingly, I'm willing to use my power to eliminate the threats in front of you. I mean all threats, including the biggest threat to you, the Burning Legion. I'm willing to give it a try, as long as your reward is worth my power."
Tyrande looked at the people around her, and a polite smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Mr. Alex, please allow me to address you as such. We've already heard from King William that you're willing to make a deal, and we're very much in favor of it. This is a very fair deal. As a mercenary, we'll give you a reward for accepting our mission. So, I agree to your request on behalf of the Night Elves."
"However, we'll be issuing missions to you as a unified employer. You don't have any objections to that, right?"
Xiao Ran smiled, and said, "Of course, as long as the price is right, everything is negotiable."
"Alright, then." Tyrande continued, "Mr. Alex, you may need too many things, and we're not sure what you need the most. So, we've marked all the things we can provide on the parchment that has been slightly enchanted with magic, including materials, knowledge, profession inheritance, weapons and equipment, as well as some special items. We'll record all the missions you complete on the parchment in the form of gold coins, and you can exchange for everything on the parchment with the corresponding price."
Xiao Ran thought about the contents of the parchment, and pondered for a moment before saying, "I understand what you mean. I don't know how much you can buy in this world, but I roughly know what I can get with the 100,000 gold coins I just received. It's barely fair, but there's nothing special that I need."
Jaina looked deeply at Xiao Ran and said, "Then what do you need?"
Xiao Ran said calmly, "There's too little knowledge. I need the knowledge of your races and a copy of Dalaran's magic book."
Tyrande looked at Xiao Ran and said meaningfully, "But Mr. Arikos, you have to understand that knowledge is priceless, especially precious knowledge and inheritance."
"That's not important, is it? For me, everything has a price." Xiao Ran smirked and said, "For you, exchanging everything of value for a future of infinite value is a good deal. You should know that Azeroth has been targeted by the Burning Legion, as well as some existences in the Twisting Nether. You should know very well what you can get by giving now. It's better not to regret it after the disaster. What do you think, Ms. Tyrande?"
