Azeroth Monster Manual

The reconstruction of Zul'Aman has been underway for over a month. A large number of gnome engineers, carrying blueprints, set off from Gnomeregan and, after a long journey, arrived in the Hinterlands, all to answer Ayr's call and help the Quel'dorei rebuild Zul'Aman.

Such a grand undertaking naturally came from Ayr's old friend, ThermaPlugg. Although the Grand Artificer majored in engineering constructs, city reconstruction was also within her capabilities.

Of course, Gnomeregan's aid was not free. After some negotiation, Ayr decided that after the city was rebuilt, he would return the favor and help the gnomes eliminate the hidden dangers of Gnomeregan.

Looking at the movie ticket in his hand, imprinted with ancient patterns and peculiar designs, Ayr couldn't help but recall those passionate years.

The establishment of the reconstruction camp was not as calm and uneventful as it appeared on the surface. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Under Kima's (Ayr's) high-pressure rule, countless troll slaves rose up in revolt. Although these 'uprisings' were often accompanied only by failure, Ayr did not want to see this spark of resistance.

In Ayr's previous life, in the 1990s, former US President's National Security Affairs Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski proposed a theory that capitalists played with to the extreme. The name of this theory is * * Tainment.

The general meaning of * * Tainment is: the continuous improvement of productivity is accompanied by increased competition. 80% of the world's population will be marginalized. They do not need to and cannot participate in the production and service of products. At the same time, 80% of the wealth is controlled by the other 20%. In order to comfort the "abandoned" people in society and avoid class conflicts, one of the methods is to let enterprises mass-produce "* *s".

And what is a ? As the name suggests, a baby only needs a to quickly quiet down when crying. And what is a for adults? Adult are those addictive entertainment and sensory stimulating products.

And the cinema is exactly the ‘ ’ that Ayr tailored for the trolls.

Only cheap labor and extremely low costs are needed to completely immerse those lowly slaves and 'magic traitors' in it.

In addition to movies, Ayr also decided to build more 's', such as the arena in Ayr's Light Settlement and some casino-like entertainment facilities. This can not only quickly recover the gold coins in the trolls' hands and revitalize the economy of this emerging city, but also promote the trolls' desire to buy and their consumption level.

Of course, if you want to get more gold coins, you have to work for the "New Clan" nominally ruled by Kima.

This also forms a virtuous circle, or rather a vicious circle. The will of the trolls is completely disintegrated, and words like resistance, riot, and escape will no longer appear in their mouths.

… …

After a month of fermentation, the prototype of all the infrastructure is almost completed. The first completed cinema is the first 'gift' that Ayr gave to the trolls.

A movie ticket of 5 gold coins is only the initial price. When the movie has been playing for a certain period of time, the ticket price will also drop accordingly until all the bottom layers can afford it. At this time, new movies have also been launched.

In this world where movies do not exist, the rich will go to see new movies as soon as possible, and those at the bottom will not be discouraged by the high movie ticket prices. (Watch movies at a low price, wait for the new movies to drop in price)

To sum it up in one sentence, buy early and enjoy it early, buy late and enjoy a discount.

This kind of planning can very well divide the film market into high-end and low-end in disguise. The high-end can quickly recover the gold coins from the troll high-level and promote them to work harder.

The low-end satisfies the consumption desires of the bottom and subtly controls the thinking of the slaves through cultural output.

And the model of * * Tainment and cinemas can also be applied in all aspects.

In this medieval-like world, Ayr's advanced thinking, which has been nurtured in his previous life, will blossom and bear fruit in this city, grow wildly, and eventually grow into a towering tree, becoming a force to be reckoned with in Azeroth.

This is Ayr's ambition. Before the arrival of the Burning Legion, he will subtly influence the thinking of all intelligent beings, and then create a kingdom that completely belongs to him. The Hinterlands is the first experimental field.

"Look, this is the world that Grandpa has built for you!"

Looking down at the trolls working hard in the lower city and the rising buildings, a heroic emotion surged into his heart, and the young man couldn't help but laugh.

Just then, the slight touch from behind his waist made Ayr shiver. In less than a tenth of a second, a Blink spell teleported him far away.

"Lord Ayr, Lord Ayr, don't run!"

Turning around, looking at the petite body and delicate face in front of him, the young man couldn't help but said with black lines all over his head:

"Lola, why did you run here?"

"Ah, it's like this."

The little maid jumped and came to Ayr, smiling sweetly, then took out a movie ticket and stuffed it into Ayr's hand.

Ayr: … …

"Lord Ayr, 8 o'clock tomorrow night, staff cinema, I'll be waiting for you."

After saying that, regardless of the young man's reaction, the little maid shyly stuck out her tongue and then ran away like a gust of wind.

"Hey! I haven't…"

"Promise you…"

Looking at the girl's gradually receding back, the young man could only sigh helplessly. Taking out another movie ticket from his arms and putting it all together, Ayr felt an indescribable feeling spreading in his heart.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the young man finally decided to take the time to watch a movie with the two girls.

'Just consider it as an inspection of work.'

With this thought in mind, Ayr left the construction site and returned to the Brotherhood's branch.

It is worth mentioning that because Ayr wanted to build Zul'Aman, except for some low-level members and peripheral members to maintain the Saronite Forges and mage towers in various places, most of the Brotherhood members basically came out in full force and all came to Ayr's side, and the establishment of the Brotherhood branch became a matter of course.

Walking into the technologically advanced branch hall, the young man skillfully greeted the Brotherhood members. The long-awaited Head Maid Eileen diligently opened the door to Ayr's office and brought him a cup of hot coffee before reluctantly leaving.

Ignoring the Head Maid's intentional or unintentional teasing eyes, Ayr focused all his attention on the documents in front of him.

While correcting the documents, Ayr thought about the layout for the future. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the moon was in the middle of the sky.

Picking up the coffee that had long been cold and taking a sip, the young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he looked at the originally mountainous pile of government documents, leaving only a thin layer.

… …

Just as he picked up the last document, the office door made a crisp 'dong, dong, dong' sound.

"Come in."

The young man focused on correcting the document in his hand, not even lifting his head.

A slender black shadow blocked the light above the young man's head. Just as he was about to say something, the figure in front of him disappeared.

"Boring."

Ayr only paused for a moment before returning to the work at hand.

He thought it was Eileen trying to attract his attention with a prank, so he ignored it. It wasn't until he finished correcting all the documents that he noticed a beautiful envelope lying quietly on the table.

"Sigh... here comes another confession. Added together, they're older than my grandma. Can't they be a little more reserved?"

Sighing helplessly, Ayr originally wanted to throw the envelope in his hand into the wastebasket like before, but he stopped as if possessed by a ghost.

"Forget it, I'll take a look. What if it's some important information?"

The young man consoled himself as he opened the envelope.

Unexpectedly, the envelope didn't contain a love letter or urgent intelligence, but a movie ticket and a small note.

"Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, the employee cinema, I'll be waiting for you."

Aier: … …

'Natasha? Or Irene? Could it be Eranka, Kalaine, or Anserem, the three of them?'

The young man couldn't help but shudder, hugging his chest with both arms as Eran's unshaven, slovenly appearance and Kalaine's shiny bald head surfaced in his mind.

Just as Aier was still guessing which burly man had sent the movie ticket, the office door was knocked on again.

"Please come in."

As the door opened, an elf with a handsome face, wearing a gorgeous mage robe, walked in, it was Prince Kael'thas.

"Kael, what's the matter?"

Aier looked at Kael'thas, who looked travel-worn, in surprise.

"Good evening, mentor, have you had dinner yet?"

The prince bowed slightly and asked respectfully.

Hearing the word "dinner," Aier suddenly felt a little hungry, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, only to realize that it was already late.

"Not yet, have you eaten?"

"This disciple hasn't eaten either, how about the mentor and I go to Silvermoon City for dinner together?"

Hearing that Aier hadn't had dinner, a hint of joy appeared on Kael'thas's face, and he hurriedly invited Aier to dinner.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

"No need, I think the food in the employee cafeteria is quite delicious."

And so, Aier and Kael'thas arrived at the employee cafeteria not far from the Brotherhood's headquarters. Along the way, the second-class and third-class citizens all bowed respectfully in fear and trepidation.

The Brotherhood's outer members, responsible for maintaining order, quickly dispersed the crowds who had gathered to watch, and welcomed the two into the cafeteria's private room.

Patting the panicked human head chef, Aier asked with a smile:

"What's the main dish today?"

The head chef wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly replied:

"Lord Aier, today's main dish is tender wolf steak. Of course, due to your and Your Highness's arrival, I have specially prepared a special dish for you and Your Highness, the Jungle Gumbo."

Hearing the head chef's words, Aier couldn't help but become interested. He put down the menu in his hand and listened attentively. Kael'thas, seeing that his mentor had such refined taste, also began to listen patiently to the head chef's introduction.

"Tell me about the ingredients used in this dish."

"Yes… yes."

The head chef put his hands behind his back and introduced it nervously, like an elementary school student reciting a text.

"For this dish, we have selected the freshest Bangal tiger meat and Andermac clam meat from Stranglethorn Vale, with ingredients including Elwynn Forest red apples and high-quality wheat from the Western Plaguelands.

The reason for choosing wheat is because wheat can neutralize the fishy smell of clam meat and tiger meat very well, while red apples can effectively lock in the flavor of the ingredients themselves and add a unique taste.

We chose the most simple cooking method, so that the freshness of the ingredients will not be lost…"

Looking at the head chef, who was talking eloquently and regaining his confidence, Aier couldn't help but chuckle.

… …

Tasting the dishes cooked by the head chef with great praise, the young man's face was full of happiness.

Kael'thas, who was used to delicacies, didn't have much hope, but seeing Aier eating heartily, the prince couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Taking a small bite and elegantly wiping the soup from the corner of his mouth, Kael'thas's brows couldn't help but relax, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"I didn't expect human cooking methods to be so special. Compared to Quel'Thalas's exquisiteness, human cooking methods are more rough, but it is this rough method that can completely release the original flavor of the ingredients."

"By the way, Kael, I haven't asked you what's the matter with you looking for me so late?"

Aier asked, holding the pot of Jungle Gumbo in an unseemly manner.

"It's like this, mentor, I have a top-secret document signed by my father here for you to look over."

Carefully reading the document handed over by Kael'thas, after a long while, the young man chuckled meaningfully, pushed the document back, and said in a low voice:

"I know about this matter. I unilaterally agree to His Majesty's proposal. As for the nobles in the kingdom… …"

Aier deliberately dragged out the syllables on the word "nobles," and Kael'thas nodded knowingly, also saying in a low voice:

"Father said that there is no need to pay attention for the time being. The top priority is to establish the first miniature 'Sunwell.' If the miniature Sunwell can be successfully established, then all obstacles in the kingdom will disappear."

"Very good, regarding the issue of the magic net and ley line mining, I have already ordered Rommath and the Eclipse Legion stationed by Lusk to start surveying. It should be clear in three months at the longest and half a month at the shortest."

… …

Aier and the prince stood at the entrance of the employee cafeteria, preparing to part ways. Just then, Kael'thas took out a movie ticket from his spatial backpack and respectfully handed it to the young man.

"Mentor, you have worked hard these days. This movie ticket is for you. I hope you can do me the honor of watching this latest movie with this disciple tomorrow night at eight o'clock."

Aier: … …

Holding the third movie ticket he received, Aier couldn't help but feel messed up in the wind.

"Cough cough… Kael, I think you should give it to Solarian. I believe she needs this movie ticket more than I do."

Aier coughed lightly, and was just about to return the movie ticket intact, but found that Kael'thas had already disappeared.

"What a sin!"

… …

The next day, at 7:50 PM, there were still ten minutes before the movie began.

A bustling crowd walked into the cinema, most of them were trolls, and a small number were members of the Brotherhood and some elven soldiers stationed in the Hinterlands.

Looking at the couples walking into the cinema in pairs, the movie ticket in Lianda's hand gradually became wet with sweat. The girl stood in a conspicuous position, anxiously looking forward to it.

Just then, the figure she had been thinking about finally appeared in her sight.

Looking at the tall figure gradually approaching, Lianda's pretty face was flushed. Just as she was still struggling with whether to be reserved and wait for the young man to take the initiative to greet her, a familiar figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

"Lord Aier!"

The little maid excitedly rushed to the young man and hugged his arm tightly.

Aier was still awkwardly feeling the softness coming from his left arm, when his right arm was hugged tightly by another mysterious figure.

Serena trembled all over as she hugged Aier's arm, the hood on her head silently slipped off, revealing her fiery red hair and delicate face full of blush.

Serena once thought she was crazy to do such an outrageous thing, but when she saw the little maid hugging Aier, her mind went blank, she completely lost her mind, and when she came back to her senses, she had already hugged Aier's arm.

Lianda, who witnessed the whole process at the entrance of the cinema, was already petrified at this time.

"Can you two… let go of me first?"

Even Lord Aier couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"Are you using this to test cadres? Which cadre can withstand such a test?"
