Azeroth Monster Manual

“Lola! You stop right there!”

Lianda, like a furious female beast, rushed to the side of the little maid, grabbing her ear. Selena took advantage of this opportunity to quickly release the young man's arm, standing aside with a flushed face.

“Good, Lola, your wings have hardened, haven't they? What did you promise me yesterday!”

“It hurts, it hurts, let go quickly, my ear is going to fall off!”

The little maid stood on tiptoes with tears in her eyes, her petite stature making her naturally shorter than Lianda.

“I even treated you as my best sister, and you actually secretly steal men behind my back!”

Lianda put one hand on her hip, and with the other hand, she tightly grabbed the little maid's long ear, pulling it upwards from time to time, incessantly chattering.

El looked at the farce in front of him with black lines all over his head, along with the increasingly large crowd of onlookers.

Selena followed behind the young man without saying a word, only lowering her small head, making it impossible to see her expression.

“Mentor! This way!”

From afar, El saw a large group of people waving at him, led by Kael'thas.

After seeing the people behind Kael'thas clearly, El's face became even darker. He first looked around at his surroundings, and after finding no way to retreat, he slowly moved over step by step.

Standing next to Kael'thas was a graceful and beautiful woman. El had met her once before and naturally knew who this beautiful elf was.

Grand Astromancer Solarian, slightly touching the sleeve of the Prince, elegantly saluted El.

Grand Magister Rommath also stepped forward, followed by the Archmage trio led by Anasterian, and finally a large group of Brotherhood members.

Among these Brotherhood members, there was even a tall and sturdy Tauren, with a chattering human girl and a shy gnome sitting on the Tauren's shoulders.

El awkwardly looked at these familiar and unfamiliar figures in front of him, feeling a little disoriented. Could this be the so-called 'team building'?

“Lord El, I've missed you so much!”

Just as the young man was lost in long-lost thoughts, a loud voice burst out from the crowd.

Without even thinking, El reflexively stretched out a palm, pressing it against Hemet's shiny forehead. No matter how hard the old dwarf tried, he couldn't break free, and could only wave his arms in place, the scene extremely comical.

“Lord El, good evening.”

Another slightly ingratiating voice sounded behind Hemet. The young man took a closer look and saw a hunched figure dressed very conservatively.

“Kima, why are you dressed like this?”

El asked with some surprise.

“Uh… This humble one is afraid of making a bad impression.”

Kima said with rare shyness.

Just as everyone was exchanging greetings, two slender figures pulling at each other also came behind El.

“Lola, quickly let go of me, be careful when we go back, I'll punish you to wash my feet ten times, no! A hundred times.”

“Wuwu… don't, Miss, you let go first, wuwu…”

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, El pulled apart the sobbing little maid and the unreasonable young lady Lianda. Only then did he realize that it was already late, and he beckoned everyone to enter the cinema.

“What's wrong with these people? I was here first.”

Looking at the dense crowd surrounding the young man, Lianda pouted her small mouth aggrievedly, constantly muttering. The little maid beside her also lowered her small head like an eggplant beaten by frost.

“Hmph, I was the first one!”

Staring unblinkingly at Selena following behind El, the little maid said fiercely.

After hearing the little maid's words, the young lady turned her head, and the two women's gazes focused together. At this moment, the two women seemed to have agreed on something, and nodded vigorously.

As soon as everyone walked into the cinema, they were startled by the scene in front of them.

This first cinema in Azeroth was entirely designed by high-level craftsmen and designers from Gnomeregan, with the idea provided by El himself. (Refer to modern shopping malls)

Upon entering the cinema, a strong sense of technology rushed towards them: a wide hall, with dozens of magical brooms tirelessly cleaning.

Seven or eight robots responsible for cleaning the ground emitted a soft light, closely following behind the magical brooms.

The marble floor was so shiny that it reflected light. The load-bearing walls carved with intricate patterns had precise mechanical gears, and it was unknown what they were used for.

In addition, there were some small trains and cars parked in the corners. These strange things filled every corner of the hall.

All the facilities in this cinema were obviously not yet fully operational.

The front desk was filled with all kinds of snacks and flavored drinks from different regions. The prices of these snacks and drinks were very high.

For example, a wolf steak burger that sells for 10 copper coins in the human kingdom actually costs 50 copper coins here. But for some reason, even with such outrageous prices, there were countless customers lining up in long queues.

Hemet rubbed his bell-sized eyes and exclaimed incredulously, attracting everyone's attention to him.

“What's wrong? Mr. Hemet?”

Kima asked in confusion.

“Are these people all fools? Such expensive things, they actually… wuwu…”

Kima covered the old dwarf's mouth and nervously looked around. After finding that no one was paying attention to them, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Bah, bah, bah, you bastard, how dare you…”

The old dwarf broke free from the troll's restraint and raised his fist, as big as a sand bowl, ready to give Kima a hard blow, but was stopped by El's stern gaze.

Hemet could only lower his voice and say again:

“That glass of blueberry juice only costs 5 copper coins in the most upscale tavern in Dun Morogh, but it sells for 30 copper coins here. Are those trolls in line all fools?”

El was still looking around at the surroundings, obviously not paying attention to Hemet's words. The old dwarf could only look to Kael'thas for help, but Kael'thas was happily chatting with Solarian at this time, and didn't notice what was happening here at all.

Feeling Hemet's awkwardness, Kima could only cough lightly and whispered:

“Mr. Hemet, you don't know, Lord El once said that the Woodpaw and Witherbark tribes belong to primitive societies. They are trapped in the ancient land of Hinterlands and have never had any contact or trade with any intelligent beings (hunting doesn't count), and the price of isolation is backwardness and ignorance.”

Hemet was originally somewhat disdainful, wondering what great道理 a green-skinned troll could say, but as Kima explained, the old dwarf became more and more fascinated.

Kima looked at the old dwarf's focused expression and couldn't help but feel a little smug, but this emotion was instantly extinguished. He glanced at El's direction without a trace, and then carefully continued:

“Although in early spring and midsummer, the troll clans also cultivate, and the Revantusk tribe living on the edge of the world also build ships and weave fishing nets, but that's all.

Coins (silver coins, copper coins) do not exist in the Woodpaw and Witherbark tribes. They are still in the stage of bartering.”

Kael'thas, who was originally smiling and chatting with Solarian, finally noticed the movement on this side. After listening to a section, he felt amazed. In the six hundred years, he had never heard such detailed and novel theories, but undoubtedly these theories were correct.

Looking at El with admiration, Kael'thas understood that such novel and tricky theories must be the ideas of his mentor.

“When I return to Silvermoon City next time, I will organize these remarks into a paper and publish them in the Silvermoon Magic Report and the Truth Report in the name of the mentor.”

The Prince thought so.

“And our arrival, cough cough… is the arrival of Lord El, bringing a completely new reform and system to these ignorant trolls.

And currency is one of them. For the past thousand years, the lower levels of Drywood and Evil Branch have become accustomed to the idea of the strong living and the weak dying. But now, they can create wealth through their own efforts, even if they are insignificant and tiny.

Kima coughed lightly and continued:

“Lord Ayr once said that if wealth cannot be realized, then these golden little darlings are just a pile of scrap metal.

Trolls get wealth from us and need a place to show it off, so casinos, shopping malls, taverns… and other high-consumption infrastructure have sprung up in the city.”

“The expensive snacks and drinks sold in cinemas are actually a vent, a place where those troll civilians (third-class meritorious citizens) with only meager pay can engage in ‘revenge spending’.”

“What is revenge spending?”

The old dwarf touched his broad forehead and asked doubtfully. Everyone looked at Kima, as they had never heard of this new term before.

Just as Kima was about to answer, the young man finally came back to his senses. Looking at his subordinates and apprentices listening attentively like good babies, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

He clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then Ayr said:

“Let’s go, it’s getting late. The movie is about to start in a few minutes.”

“Wait, wait for us.”

Just as everyone was about to leave the hall and head to the screening room, the little maid and the young lady ran over, carrying a large pile of snacks and drinks.

“Here, this is yours, this is yours, this is yours…”

Lola and Lianda smiled as they distributed the snacks and drinks to everyone. Ayr watched this scene with a wry smile. Just then, a warm little hand suddenly grasped his palm.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

“Lord Ayr, this is yours.”

The little maid smiled sweetly as she handed over a cup of Soothing Grass drink. Just as she handed over the drink, she seemed to accidentally grab Ayr's hand.

“Lola! What are you doing!”

Lianda, who was always paying attention to Serena and the little maid, immediately noticed the little maid's abnormality. She strode to the little maid's side, first slapped away the little maid's restless hand, and then skillfully grabbed her long ears.

“Ouch, ouch… I'm going to die, I'm going to die.”

…

Serena, who was silently standing behind Ayr, watched the two girls clowning around like a ghost, with a strange light flickering in her eyes.

Ayr sighed a long sigh and decided to ignore these two overly lively girls, and took the lead into the screening room.

When everyone saw Ayr enter the screening room, they immediately followed. As soon as they entered the screening room, a huge poster attracted everyone's attention.

On the poster, a one-eyed troll was holding a long sword high and roaring loudly. This poster was obviously from the hand of a master, and the color, proportions, and character structure were undoubtedly top-notch, vividly portraying the one-eyed troll's bravery and tragedy.

“Black - Demon - King - Kima…”

The old dwarf read the large characters on the poster with a constipated expression, and everyone looked strangely at the troll shrouded in the cloak.

“Hehe… hehe, I'm making a fool of myself, I'm making a fool of myself. Lord Ayr, please go first.”

Rubbing his hands embarrassedly, feeling the scorching gazes around him, even Kima's face, which was thicker than the corner of a city wall, felt a little hot.

Ayr looked at Kima with a smile that was not a smile, walked to the center of the VIP seat and sat down. When everyone saw that Ayr had taken his seat, they all followed. And who sat next to Ayr became a major issue of concern for everyone.

“Mentor, good evening.”

Kael'thas pretended to be nonchalant, greeted Ayr, and leaned towards Ayr's side.

“Go, go, go, you sissy, go find your female companion, don’t bother me and Lord Ayr reminiscing!”

Hermit, who was always dull, seemed to have suddenly become enlightened, pushed away the caught-off-guard Prince, and squeezed forward with all his might.

“Ignorant barbarian, get out of the way.”

Kael'thas almost stumbled. Seeing that the culprit was his old rival Hermit, he couldn't help but feel angry. He kicked the old dwarf hard, almost knocking Hermit to the ground.

Just as the two were about to fight, the clever little maid, like a nimble little mouse, squeezed through the gap between the old dwarf and Kael'thas.

Lola had a smug smile on her face. Just as she was about to sit next to Ayr, an icy little hand pressed against her forehead, and a faint arcane ripple flashed, and the little maid's figure disappeared instantly.

Serena looked at her slender jade fingers with a blushing face, and without bothering to sigh, she hurriedly sat on Ayr's right hand side.

“You you you… where did you turn Lola into?”

Lianda also came to Ayr's front at this time, pointing at Serena with an angry face.

“Okay, okay, Lola is fine, she was just teleported out of the cinema, she will be back in a while.”

Ayr helplessly stretched out a hand and placed it on the young lady's shoulder.

This ordinary action seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly extinguishing the anger in her heart. The young lady sat shyly on Ayr's left hand side, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Kael'thas and Hermit, who were still fighting, came back to their senses at this time, but they found that Ayr's front, back, and sides were already full of people.

Kael'thas: … …

Hermit: … …

Looking at the last three empty seats, the two couldn't help but feel sad and could only sit together.

The little maid who was stopped by the staff in front of the cinema door sniffed with a dazed expression.

‘Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do? Wuwu, I want to go home, it's not fun at all.’

The little maid left crying, leaving only a lonely figure of sadness and despair drawn long in the moonlight.

… …

There were still a few minutes before the movie started, and Ayr suddenly felt like talking, so he coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

“Didn’t Kima just mention revenge spending? The meaning of revenge spending is…”

In this way, Ayr told the meaning of revenge spending from his previous life, and everyone listened with fascination, saying that they had gained knowledge today.

The movie was about to begin, but Kael'thas's communication stone lit up at this moment.

He nodded apologetically to Ayr, and the Prince walked out of the screening room with the communication stone.

“Tch, so pretentious, as if anyone wants to listen.”

Hermit sat up straight with his nose not a nose and his eyes not eyes, looking disdainful.

Kima could only pretend not to hear, as he couldn't afford to offend either of these big shots.

After a long time, Kael'thas walked in. He came to Ayr's front and said excitedly in a low voice:

“Mentor, the King's plan has succeeded. You will be promoted to Grand Duke soon, and the territory will be in Xin'saro.”

‘Two dukes in one family, Lord Ayr is really too amazing!’

The official-obsessed Lianda crossed her arms, her eyes full of little stars.

On the other hand, Ayr did not have the slightest bit of pride or surprise, just smiled faintly.

“A Great Lord? Not bad.”
