Chapter 504 The Ambassador Arrives
What crime did Lorraine commit?
He didn't understand anything when he was sent to the Orgrimmar dungeon prison...
Looking around, it didn't seem like a prison; it looked more like a detention cell...
Orgrimmar has no prisons?
impossible!
Does Orgrimmar have no criminals?
It seems like there's no law here among the orcs? Stormwind's prison is so big it could be an entire world... Orgrimmar is so vast, doesn't it have a prison...?
of course not!
The truth is, for serious crimes, the orcs would immediately perform rituals to send the deceased to the afterlife... minor offenses would be punished on the spot... Lorraine and a group of troublemaking adventurers were taken to the Hall of Legends for interrogation and whipped on the spot... regardless of gender, they were all whipped...
Those whose crimes are more serious are said to be handed over to the warlocks in the Shadow Rifts for punishment. In Ragefire Chasm, many of the most heinous... or simply unfortunate souls, have been banished...
Those who receive forgiveness and understanding, and who win the duel of honor, may be exiled by their tribe to fend for themselves...
This is probably the best possible outcome.
......
Lorraine had no idea how serious his crime was... Just not being dragged around in the net was a good thing! He could only stand there dumbly, holding onto the door, watching the orcs punish the unlucky ones they had captured one by one.
The orc read out the king's command...
The unfortunate fellows were to be whipped, but High Overlord Saurfang, in a moment of mercy, didn't tie them up in cages and leave them to bake in the sun on the city walls for days... He simply demanded that each troublemaker receive 30 lashes...
Lorraine understood the outcome of the investigation.
Each person receives 30 lashes. After that, they line up and are taken away by people from the city according to their status. If no one comes to take them away, they will be driven out of Orgrimmar.
Lorraine, who thought he would be imprisoned for a long time, discovered that the Orgrimmar officers in the Hall of Legends had meticulously recorded the adventurers' information and then categorized and taken them away...
Lorraine is not Rolin after all...
If his teacher, Rolin, were to arrive in Orgrimmar, he would stroll freely and confidently through the streets and alleys... knowing every NPC, bank, auction house, inn, and shop like the back of his hand...
He often stands on top of the bank, showing off his unusual gadgets...
Whenever Rolin heard the war drums echoing like a pounding heart in Orgrimmar... whenever he saw the guards standing solemnly at the gates of the Valley of Honor, whenever he heard the clash of weapons and the roars of beasts, whenever he saw the dueling banners planted at the city gates...
Whenever I hear the hawkers' cries, whenever I see the rallying cry for adventurers...
Accompanied by the High Chieftain's lightning blessing...
The brothers mounted their mounts and set off!
You will then understand what the power of a tribe is.
......
Aside from Undercity, Rolin spent most of his time in Orgrimmar, occasionally opening free portals for people... selling items, browsing the auction house... For a mage, every major city was intimately familiar...
He could even find barbershops hidden in dark alleyways...
What do you think I'm talking about?
Yes, I'm talking about the goblin barbershops in the Shadow Rift area, where they offer makeovers...and can even give you a trendy hairstyle... Honestly, Orgrimmar, the Horde's capital city, is truly a uniquely wild city...
Traditional and modern elements are also present...
In contrast to the eerie, oppressive, and terrifying Undercity, Orgrimmar is the clarion call of wildness and battle, perfectly reflecting the character traits of most Horde members... Of course, the tranquil peace and ancient serenity of Thunder Bluff, and the opulent grandeur and arrogant pride of Silvermoon City are also part of it...
In contrast, the tribal spirit that teacher Lorin passed on to his indigenous disciple Lorin did not contradict the concepts of courage and forbearance!
Despite being inexplicably imprisoned and whipped, Lorraine wasn't particularly upset... She loved watching the drama unfold and was always boasting. If her teacher were sober, she would probably have already scolded Lorraine in her ear.
On the surface, Lorraine remained calm, but inside she was somewhat anxious...
But in the past month or so, having experienced so much, it has learned to suppress its negative emotions. At least it keeps a low profile, focusing on finding solutions rather than complaining or blaming fate for being unfair.
......
Adventurers who joined in the private duels to witness the sacred duel between High Overlord Saurfang and the Tauren warriors at Mak'gora were all arrested and punished... The names of the punished guilds were specially recorded... as a warning.
It seems that the king did this intentionally...
The number of adventurers' guild members in Orgrimmar is almost comparable to that of a regular army. They're all troublemakers, unproductive, and a threat to any nation or organization...
Of course, it is also a resource that can be recruited and utilized.
......
The term "adventurer" likely originates from the tradition of mercenaries and wandering knights in human kingdoms.
Mercenaries seek out employers to survive, protecting them or merchants, while chivalrous knights rob the rich to help the poor.
That's picking the good ones...
In reality, it's because of imperfect social order, inadequate laws, and poor public security and official control in these areas that the safety of ordinary people and merchants is not guaranteed. Robbers and outlaws are rampant, transportation is inconvenient, and people live in constant fear of peril.
Poverty and backwardness, division and internal strife...
The common people lacked job opportunities and means to support themselves... Lords and merchants seized land and wealth, becoming enemies with each other... This gave rise to so-called wandering knights and mercenaries...
In the dark Middle Ages, the difference between bandits and lords was negligible...
What you thought was a fantastic, heroic, epic adventure?
The legend of the swordsman told by bards?
The legacy of noble knights?
Bullshit!
In reality, it's a distorted product of rampant monsters, constant fear of death, widespread poverty, insecurity, and backward chaos...
That's why order is so precious...
In Azeroth, countless factions, including the Pantheon of Order, the creator Titans, once sought to mold the world into the orderly form they desired... However, the Titans of the Pantheon seemed to overlook the reality of the diversity of life's evolution. The interests of different species and individuals, their levels of evolution and power, their cognition, and their temperament all make it difficult to maintain a so-called order...
In particular, an unfair and unjust system, a so-called order established merely through short-sighted and step-by-step processes, will sooner or later reveal its flaws due to time and changes in the world...
There is no single, universally applicable legal code...
So-called civilization is always comprised of those who seek true knowledge amidst change...
From the orcs' perspective, the Forsaken, this strange ally, are truly difficult to deal with... High Overlord Saurfang had just finished punishing these restless elements of the Adventurers' Guild when guards quickly reported that the Undercity ambassador had arrived in Orgrimmar...
