Chapter 82 Warm Hospitality

The main buildings of Newstead were all built with wood. This is because the main building stones of the Kingdom of Stromgarde were transported to Stromgarde to complete the massive reconstruction of Stromgarde.

Since the farmers of Newstead are basically refugees from the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the architectural style of Newstead is more inclined to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Being in the Newstead farm gave Calia Menethil a feeling of returning to the farm of the Kingdom of Lordaeron in Tirisfal Glades.

The fall of the Kingdom of Lordaeron was like a dream to Calia Menethil. She never thought that the once extremely powerful Kingdom of Lordaeron would collapse so quickly. Her brother Arthas, who was highly expected by his father King Terenas and recognized by all the people of Lordaeron, betrayed the Kingdom of Lordaeron, defected to the Scourge, and killed her father with his own hands, destroying the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

This made Calia Menethil feel sad. She wished that all this was a dream and that she was now at the Lordaeron Kingdom farm in Tirisfal Glades.

Garin noticed the change in Calia's expression, saw the sadness and pain in her eyes, and understood that Calia was moved by the scene, so he stepped forward and patted Calia's shoulder.

After being patted on the shoulder, Calia instinctively looked at Garin, and saw Garin's sunny smile, which penetrated the dark clouds in her heart like the sun.

Farmer Kent brought Garin and Calia to a relatively luxurious building in Newstead Farm.

Luxury is relative. In fact, it is a very normal house built of wood, with two floors and a stable in the style of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

"King Garin, Princess Jia Liya, this is my home, I hope you don't dislike it." Farmer Kent naturally knew that his home was the most luxurious compared to other farmers' homes in Newstead, but it was extremely shabby for Garin and Jia Liya, the two kingdom leaders, and he rubbed his hands with some worry.

In fact, compared to the Trollbane Palace, Garin was more curious about this farm building full of the style of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. He asked curiously, "Kent, did you build this house by yourself?"

"Yes... yes, King Garin, I was in the construction industry in the Kingdom of Lordaeron before. I helped many nobles in the city of Lordaeron build manors, but this is the first time I built a house for myself." Facing Garin's question, Kent, who was obviously a middle-aged man, acted a little flustered, but still answered Garin's question completely.

Building such a farm house by himself, it can be seen that farmer Kent does have the ability in construction, and the following sentence is full of pride and pride.

But Jia Liya felt ashamed when she heard it. Because the Kingdom of Lordaeron built a shelter for the orcs against all odds, the Alliance was torn apart. In order to build the funds for the orc shelter, her father, King Terenas Menethil II, increased taxes on farmers, which led to the farmers of the Kingdom of Lordaeron living in dire straits.

In order to survive, ordinary civilians in the Kingdom of Lordaeron had to choose to work for the nobles. It was ironic that compared to ordinary civilians in the Kingdom of Lordaeron who had no way to own their own houses, the nobles of the Kingdom of Lordaeron built manors on a large scale.

Farmer Kent went from the village of Tirisfal Glades to the city of Lordaeron to work for the nobles, but in order to support his family, he hoped that one day he could return to his village and build a warm home of his own.

However, until the Scourge appeared, he had not fulfilled this wish when he was already middle-aged. Just when Farmer Kent's wish was almost broken, he saw the royal decree of Galen Trollbane and came to Arathi Highlands with the idea of ​​​​surviving. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to get his own land. The Kingdom of Stormgard also provided him with tools to cut down trees and build houses by himself.

Willing to rekindle his desire again, Farmer Kent built the most luxurious house in Newstead Farm through his own efforts.

Entering the house, there are the living room and dining room, the tables and chairs are spotless, the fur of wild animals in Arathi Highlands is hung on the wall, and there is not even a speck of dust in the huge fireplace.

Farmer Kent's home has almost no decorations. It can be said to be simple and rustic, but it is extremely clean and tidy, which is enough to prove how much Farmer Kent loves his home.

Farmer Kent trotted to the table and chairs, and used his sleeves to wipe the clean, shiny, dust-free tabletop. "King Garin, Princess Jialiya, please sit down. I'll cook some food for you to taste."

"Karaba! Come and help quickly. King Garin and Princess Jialiya are here!" At the call of Farmer Kent, a middle-aged peasant woman came down the wooden stairs from the second floor.

When the peasant woman Karaba saw Garin and Jialiya, she opened her mouth in surprise. After a while, she ran into the kitchen and heard a voice from inside, "Kent, why didn't you tell me earlier that King Garin and Princess Jialiya would come? It's really our honor. Go find the rabbit you just hunted, and then go to Ryan to buy some high-quality beef."

In order not to disturb Garin and Jialiya, Farmer Kent left directly from the back door to find the butcher Ryan to buy meat.

"Garlin, you are such a kind and great king. Without you, I can hardly imagine where my people would go." The refugees from the Kingdom of Lordaeron lived well in Arathi Highlands, which finally comforted Jia Liya. She said to Garlin sincerely.

When Jia Liya was a child, she had seen with her own eyes what the refugees from the Kingdom of Stormwind who came to the Tirisfal Glades in the Kingdom of Lordaeron were like.

Terenas Menethil II was not so kind to the refugees other than the nobles. Basically, he placed the refugees from the Kingdom of Stormwind in a place that was worse than the orc shelter, and provided them with some porridge every day that was impossible to eat enough.

It was very likely that the refugees from the Kingdom of Stormwind would have enough to eat in Tirisfal Glades, not to mention that they could own their own land and houses, and have money to buy good beef.

"The people are the cornerstone of the kingdom. Only with the support of the people can we become the so-called rulers and nobles. I never think that nobles are born superior and deserve to enjoy everything. Let your people be happy. This is what a king should do." Garin, who came from across time, naturally did not have the idea that the nobles of Azeroth were born supreme. In his understanding, the people are everything.

Listening to Garin's advanced words, Jia Liya felt that Garin was like a mystery now. This mystery did not repel her, but deeply attracted her.

Not long after, a table of sumptuous meals with the flavor of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and the ingredients of the Kingdom of Stormgard was served on the table. It was the first time for Garin and Jia Liya to eat meals from civilians.

Compared with the food full of various spices that the nobles enjoyed exclusively, these meals that brought out the most original taste of food made the two of them salivate.
