3. Love cats is crazy

When Kel'thugad emerged from the light of teleportation, the entire magical shopping street was in ruins, and the battle was so terrible that the academic mage was shocked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He saw the battle mages shuttling through the sky, including his mentor Antonidas, the kind old mage who was like an angry thunder god at the moment, and with every wave of his arm, a squad of orcs would be surrounded by fire or yellow time magic.

But this has nothing to do with Kel'thugad.

He didn't even want to rest his gaze on the battlefield for even a second, the owl potion worked well, the darkness around him seemed like day, and soon Kel'thugad turned into a street and saw the familiar figure, and the dagger that was about to be pierced.

An unbearable anger rose from Kel'thugad's heart, an anger he had never felt in more than twenty years of his life, and he felt that his mind was being burned, and a high-pitched roar came out of Kel'thugad's mouth.

"Give me... Fuck off!"

"Bang!"

Without stinginess with mana, without controlling the frequency of output, without thinking about optimizing mana output, just pure rage domination, a ball of purple energy at least three times larger than ordinary arcane shock, at an extremely fast speed, slammed into the chest of the terrifying assassin, and in just a moment, he flew out, and then landed in five different places.

In the midst of that roar, Miss Bigworth, who was waiting for death with her eyes closed, opened her eyes suddenly, and then felt her weak body being held in her arms by a very thin body, and then a levitation technique was placed on her body, and then the fluctuations of the teleportation technique lit up around the two people.

A difficult smile appeared on the girl's terrible face,

"Ahem... Ahem, you're here anyway. ”

"Don't talk, I'll take you to mine, there are a lot of potions there, everything will be fine. ”

Kel'thugad felt sad as he looked at Miss Bigworth's abrasions on her arms and face, but soon she would be fine, and as long as she could return to her mage's tower, the brave girl would be fine.

It is true that the academic mage is not very good at combat, but when it comes to casting spells and proficiency, the battle mage is no match for these research maniacs, which can be seen from Kel'thugad's spell, which requires 27 scales of teleportation, and he only needs 14 scales to complete it.

It's simply impossible to do.

But at the moment when the white, hope-representing teleportation light lit up, a whistling rune sword slashed accurately at the magic node of the teleportation technique, and the rune sword that shone with green light easily destroyed the stability of this spell, and the restrained energy rioted in an instant.

Kel'thugad's face changed drastically, and he immediately turned around and rolled to the side with Miss Bigworth, who was floating beside him.

"Bang!"

The rampaging space magic expanded in place, and soon formed a terrifying black hole-like light, sucking everything around it into it, then crushing it, and finally dissipating into nothingness.

It was only then that Kel'thugad had time to look back at the sneak attacker.

It was an orc in heavy black armor, holding the green rune greatsword in his hand, and behind him, there were exactly the same guys, a total of 6!

Kel'thugad had noticed these strange orcs before, and now, as these guys approached silently, the chill in the darkness was getting thicker and thicker, and there was also a shadow power that Kel'thugad wrinkled and didn't have, which obviously confirmed Kel'thugad's suspicions.

They are not living beings!

"Bang!"

A silent fireball was thrown out of Kel'thugad's hand, but the death knight who walked in front of him did not dodge at all, and let the fireball fall on him, and a layer of green light flashed away, and the fireball spell that could blast off a wall did not cause any injuries to the strange orc.

It's no wonder they're able to break through Dalaran's urban barriers, this magic resistance is enough to give most mages a headache.

But for Kel'thugad, this was not enough, even if he was only a research-savvy academic, but that did not mean that he was not combative.

The two scrolls were held in Kel'thugad's hand, torn apart, and thrown at the orcs, and after the scrolls landed, magical energy surged, and two battle puppets made of steel appeared between Kelthugad and the orcs, their huge bodies blocking their progress.

This is the product of Kel'thugad's leisure study of engineering, a very rough puppet, but it is best to buy time, the moment the puppet appears, Kelthugad began to chant spells, but the first time he cast a spell at such a critical juncture, he has always been calm and stumbled three times in a row, so that the first spell failed.

Ahead, six orcs have already ping-pong dismantled one puppet and are dealing with another.

The young mage's heart began to beat violently, and then at this moment, a soft body hugged him from behind, and there was a hint of fresh hair, and that weak but gentle voice,

"Don't be nervous, big shot, you can do it!"

"But if I fail, we will die..."

Kel'thugad couldn't help but utter these dejected words as he regained his magic, but the next moment, a gentle kiss was on his earlobe, and the sound of breathing that tickled his neck, and the voice that contained a certain emotion, firm and hopeful.

"I'll be with you, no matter where you go... Even if it's death. ”

"Whew..."

In this dark alley, the surrounding magic fluctuations and the dazzling light almost rendered it into a killing field, and the mages began to shift their positions, and to make matters worse, there was also a flash of fire inside the city, where it seemed to be raided.

But all this has nothing to do with Kel'thugad.

He had to protect the woman behind him, even though the two had known each other for less than a day, so what?

It was the first time in his life that he had sworn to protect something, and when courage came his way, panic would always scream and run away.

This time, Kel'thugad's voice didn't tremble, and he didn't panic even the moment the strange orcs smashed the last puppet and strode towards him.

The computational instinct from the researcher was beating in his eyes, 10 meters, 3 seconds, enough!

The crazy fluctuating magic elements were like dancing elves around him, and the orcs also sensed the danger and increased their speed, but Kel'thugad's instinct as a mage made him never forget to put a magic shield on his body at any time.

So when the first three swords fell, Kel'thugad didn't panic at all, and was still casting spells, until the remaining orcs raised their weapons, and Kel'thugad's forehead showed a trace of sweat, bet!

He's betting!

"Bang!"

With a combo, the magic shield shattered, and the magic that had been prepared for a long time reached the last scale, but the orcs' weapons were already raised, and then Kel'thugad felt the hand around his waist pull away, and then the white shadow stood in front of him. With all her might, she dragged the slashed rune sword.

"No !!!"

At this moment, at the heart-rending scream of Kel'thugad, the crimson flame dragon opened its mouth behind him, and then it filled the entire street, and even ignited the flamestorm of the battlefield in the northern part of the city that had been extinguished, the flames fierce like demonic fire spewing from the cracks of hell.

At this moment, even one out of ten Dalaran was directly ignited.

Antonidas, who was bombarding the orc army in the air, immediately noticed the giant dragon's breath spell that spewed out from the ruins of the magic mall, and the flames rushed frantically forward along the surrounding streets, and then devoured, swallowing everything in its path, and the defense line that the orcs had so hard set up there was completely engulfed by this blow without warning.

"Good!"

The old mage couldn't help but scream, and shouted to the archmages around him,

"That gap, see? Send all the battle mages up! Get these damn greenskins out of Dalaran for me!"

This dragon breath, which drained Kel'thugad of all his magic, opened up hope of victory for the stalemate mages, but... It has nothing to do with him anymore.

With the light of the teleportation spell shattering, the embarrassed Kel'thugad rolled to the ground of the mage tower with Miss Bigworth, who was covered in blood, he was also extremely weak, but he struggled to hold Miss Bigworth to the chair, and then staggered into his laboratory, frantically searching for the bottles and cans that he usually regarded as treasures.

"Bang, bang!"

The precious potions were thrown to the ground by Kel'thugad's waving arm, and liquids of various colors flowed around the luxurious stalls, but all the potions and scrolls that had healing effects were held in Kel'thugad's arms, and then rushed back to Miss Bigworth's side, and the potions were twisted away by the mage, and countless amounts of liquid were applied to the girl's wounds, and the light of the scrolls continued to light up on her.

In order to help Kel'thugad avoid the fatal blow, Miss Bigworth was cut in the chest with a wound that almost cut off her body, in fact, anyone with a little experience in healing knows... There is no help.

But Kel'thugad seemed to be untired, and he twisted the bottles frantically, and kept concocting and smearing, and his body trembled, and he felt the weakness of Bigworth, and he felt the coldness, and he felt that life was flowing from the body in front of him.

"No, no, no!"

"Please, please, don't!

The young mage shuddered and twisted open the last bottle, and then his arm fell, at this moment, his heart was resentful, if it weren't for those old-fashioned old mages who didn't allow him to concoct those forbidden potions privately, but they could save a life at any time, if he could not be so nervous, if...

But now... It's all late.

Tears fell from Kel'thugad's eyes, and he didn't even dare to touch Bigworth's arm, for fear of feeling the coldness that would tear his heart out, but the next moment, a pair of weak hands touched his face, and he raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him who was still smiling in this situation.

"Krsu... Add... De, I'm not... Isn't it ugly..."

"No, nothing is prettier than you, nothing, please, please don't leave me!"

All the words that had been held in my heart before were said at this moment, and a smile appeared on Miss Bigworth's pale face,

"Ahem, then you... Why did you before... Why don't you look at me, in us... While we were drinking. ”

"Please, stop talking, I'll take you to the doctor, to the mentor, Master Antonidas is proficient in time magic, he can save you!"

Kel'thugad got up with difficulty, picked up Bigworth's body, and muttered,

"Yes, he can save you... He must save you... I'll take you there!"

"Bang"

As soon as the weak body picked up the girl, Kel'thugad's legs went limp, and the two of them rolled to the ground again, and Bigworth let out a painful groan, which frightened Kelthugad, and he hurriedly crawled over from the ground and clenched Bigworth's cold hand, and the girl looked at him, her eyes were full of tears, and nostalgia, nostalgia for life, nostalgia for Kel'thugad, the man who had just broken into her heart.

"I'm dying... Kel'thugad, before I die, I can meet you... It's not too bad. ”

"Don't say anything like that, I'll find a way to save you, I will, I swear!"

"Ah, I remember the scene where we met, that gold coin, let me see..."

Kel'thugad rummaged through his body, and finally handed the gold coin to Bigworth with a trembling, bloodied hand, and the girl placed it in front of her eyes with the last of her strength, it was an ordinary gold coin, but with a sentence written on it with a photograph magic, a sentence that had made her smile bitterly.

"Ah, sometimes, I wish someone could give me a warm and warm hug. ”

It was engraved by Kel'thugad, representing the loneliness of the man in front of her who wept for her, but unfortunately, she never had the chance to enter his world again.

What a pity...

"Give me a warm hug, Kel'thugad. ”

Miss Bigworth's sanity became a little blurred, and she whispered, "It's so cold, give me a hug, okay?"

Kel'thugad sobbed, opened his hands, and gently took Miss Bigworth in his arms, this was the first time he had taken the initiative to hug someone, maybe... And for the last time.

"I want to... I want to be your assistant mage... But there is no chance, live well, Kel'thugad, I will bless you in heaven, I'm sorry ... I haven't told you... I like it... Like..."

"Bang"

The hand holding the gold coin fell to the blood-soaked stall, and Kel'thugad's body froze, and at this moment, the cruel world took his most precious thing from his arms.

"Ah!!!h

Desolate, heartbreaking, like a roar from the abyss that spread throughout the still chaotic Dalaran, became the most tragic footnote in this sad night.

A month later, at the fountain of Dalaran, which had been rebuilt, a man wrapped himself in a heavy black robe, sat by the fountain in a daze, where he had been sitting for seven days, seven days without sleep.

His beard was stubble, his eyes were dull, bloodshot, and his whole body exuded a bad aura that no one could enter, even Antonidas and Gianna couldn't get close to him, 7 days ago, in front of Miss Bigworth's tombstone, he almost killed Ronin who came to mourn, this is the first time that Dalaran's high-ranking knew that Kel'thugad, an academic researcher, had such powerful combat skills.

Since then, no one has dared to approach Kel'thugad, so he can only sit here, silent as a stone statue.

"Meow!"

A terrible meow brought Kel'thugad back to his senses, and he turned his head, the black and white kitten, the same one he had met with Bigworth, had been trampled by a grumpy mage, and the kitten's eyes were full of panic and pain.

"Stop!"

Kel'thugad let out a hoarse roar that startled the passers-by, and then they saw Kel'thugad staggering over to the grumpy mage with the Archmage's staff, his tall and thin man looking at him condescendingly, his cold eyes as if looking at an inanimate object.

The irascible mage was taken aback, he looked at Kel'thugad with a murderous aura all over his body, and the battle with Ronin shocked the entire Dalaran, right now, no one dared to provoke this evil star.

"Apologies!"

"What?"

Kel'thugad looked at the mage and pointed to the kitten at his feet, "I made you apologize!"

Feeling insulted, the mage stared at Kel'thugad,

"You're asking me to apologize to a cat? Are you crazy?"

A red magical light surged in Kelsegad's left hand, and he stared at the frightened mage in front of him,

"One last time, apologize!"

"Yes... I'm sorry!"

The irascible mage panicked and threw down an apology, turned and fled.

Completely unconcerned about the gazes of the people around him, Kel'thugad dissipated his magic, crouched on the ground, and with a creepy tenderness, stroked the kitten in front of him with his hand, which seemed to recognize the mage, and was not afraid of him, and finally obediently held him in his arms.

Although the kitten was very dirty and did not look cute at all because of the long-term wandering, Kel'thugad did not care, he put the staff aside, and held the kitten up with both hands, still in the same kind of magnetic voice with a hint of hoarseness, and he said to the kitten,

"Ah, look, a little cutie, do you have a name?"

"Meow~"

"Oh, I guess you don't, it's okay, you'll follow me in the future, will you be better than Miss Gwens?"

"Meow~"

"Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, you're a little gentleman, so call you Mr. Bigworth!"

After saying that, Kel'thugad put the black and white kitten on his shoulder, stretched his body comfortably under the cold gaze, picked up his archmage's staff, turned his head and said to the kitten,

"Mr. Bigworth, let's go, let's go home. ”

"These people who can't laugh are annoying, aren't they? You see, I hate this city too, but before we can do something, like your mistress, I've got to get her back, and that girl thinks I'm going to find her if she goes to heaven, naughty, right? I'll find her... It's promise, promise, you know?"

"Meow~Meow~"

Kel'thugad laughed and walked forward, but after taking two steps, he seemed to remember something again, he shook his head, took a gold coin from his bosom, put it to his mouth and kissed it, then threw it into the magic fountain of Dalaran, turned around, and left.

There is no trace of nostalgia anymore.

The gold coin was tumbling in the water, and there were words engraved on both sides,

On one side it reads, "Ah, sometimes, I wish someone could give me a warm and warm hug." ”

That was the voice of Kel'thugad before.

On the other side it reads, "Bigworth, my beloved, I'll find you, I swear." ”

On this side, this is the promise of Kel'thugad now.

In the cold sun, a lone mage died.

Under the cold sun, a mage who loves cats is reborn... His story may have just begun.

(In the side story, the story borrows from the story of Talon Bloodfiend's invasion of Dalaran, and Kel'thugad's age has also been adjusted, and this story is dedicated to Kelthugad and Mr. Bigworth.) The next story is about Tirio Fordin, love and family, so stay tuned. ）
