5. Hi Andohal
Although Gianna's movements were fast enough, when she ran over with three paladins carrying stretchers, Dick had already fainted, and ordinary people suffered the full force of the troll, but even a small life would be lost, and Dick still had breathing, which fully demonstrated the strength of his body.

In the face of this situation, even if Gianna was anxious and wanted to know about the plague, she could only stay in the barracks of the Crusader Fortress and wait for Dick to recover, but fortunately, the paladins are all capable of healing, so with the help of an old paladin who specializes in healing spells, Dick's situation has been much better.
The next morning, Dick opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was Miss Gianna, who was standing by the window, looking curiously at the paladins training, this young lady was wearing a white robe today, and a blue coat over it, a short staff was tied around her waist, and her golden hair was scattered over her shoulders.
In short, although Dick was awake, he tilted his head and watched for five minutes, before he could not hold back the thirst in his throat and snorted.
"Ah, you're finally awake!"
Gianna, who seemed to have experience caring for patients, reached for the glass on the table and handed it to Dick.
The latter's waist still ached faintly, but the old paladin's healing spell was really not covered, and he was able to move his body a little now.
Dick leaned against the wall with his arms propped up, his face a little pale, but this was a normal sequelae of excessive blood loss, and Gianna, who was sitting in front of him, asked after he had gulped a large glass of water.
"Didn't you say there's news about the plague? ”
Dick shook his head,
"No, no, I can't tell you this until the Prince of Arthas comes. ”
"But I'm the one who investigates the plague in a complicated way!"
Gianna snorted a little unconvinced, her beautiful eyes stared at Dick, and said angrily,
"Why are your eyes only on Arthas, you are like this, so is the captain of the guard of Andorhar, and the arrogant prince has taken me as his retinue! I want to prove that without his help, I can find the source of the plague! You are waiting here for your Royal Highness the Prince!"
After saying that, Gianna stood up angrily and was about to walk out of the door, but Dick, who was dazed, realized what was happening, and he hurriedly called out to the mage who had already walked to the door.
"Alas, wait, Lady Gianna... You come back first!"
Gianna was stopped, but Miss Mage is still only a fledgling mage, although her strength has broken through the legend, but the first 18 years of her life have been spent in Antonidas's Mage Tower and the orderly Dalaran, so she has very little experience communicating with others.
The mage lady sat back in her chair with a cold face, and said impatiently,
"What for?"
Looking at Gianna, who was having an awkward relationship with Arthas, Dick's eyes rolled, and he quickly made a sad face, looked left and right, like a thief who had been caught stealing, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously,
"Forget it, Ms. Gianna, I'll just call you Gianna. ”
This title made Gianna's face stiffen, in this orderly society, a commoner like Dick could not call the name of a nobleman, and generally had to bring an honorific title, but considering that Dick didn't know his identity now, Gianna thought about it and thought it was funny, so she nodded reservedly.
"Well, Gianna, you don't know yet, the source of the plague is not simple, in addition to the participation of some mages, there is also the participation of the great nobles, you now understand why I waited until the Prince of Arthas came before I said it, right?"
Hearing Dick's words, Gianna's face suddenly became ugly.
"Mage! There are still mages who dare to participate in such a thing! It's too much!"
Gianna gritted her teeth and said, no wonder she was so angry, Gianna's mentor, but the current leader of the mage city of Dalaran, Antonidas, the most powerful archmage in the human world, is already a power beyond the legend.
In fact, the Second Orc War, which had just ended a few years ago, would have fallen long ago if it hadn't been for Antonidas's help in Lordaeron's defense, and Lordaeron City would have fallen under the attack of the Orcs.
Under the rule of Antonidas, the mages of the humans had their own set of rules, similar to spreading the plague in the human world, and if discovered, they could be wanted by the Council of Mages Kenrito.
Dick glanced at Gianna, who was gritting his teeth, and he shook his head imperceptibly, and said in his heart,
"It's none other than your brother Kel'thugad who spreads the plague... I don't know what it will be like when you see him. ”
While Gianna was immersed in her own thoughts, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Dick was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the tall figure walking into the room under the arch of the four paladins.
Like Gianna, he had blonde hair, cut into long and short hair, draped behind his head, and his young face was full of fortitude and persistence, coupled with those blue eyes like the sea, which gave this resolute knight a gentle temperament.
Domineering and soft, two completely opposite images, were almost perfectly unified on this face, and in fact, at the first sight of Arthas, Dick finally understood why Gianna, the mage-elf, was able to refuse the pursuit of the handsome and picturesque High Elf prince Kael'thas and instead threw herself into the arms of His Majesty the prince.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who will become one of the most terrifying monarchs in the entire world in the future, is simply a natural female killer.
He wore a gorgeous set of golden armor, a dark blue cloak, a fancy ribbon on his chest, and a gold and blue warhammer on his back.
"You're Dick Don, the warrior who crossed the Silver Pines Forest alone three years ago and brought back the orc report for Lordaeron?"
Arthas sat in his chair and didn't look at Gianna, on the contrary, he asked Dick directly, this little detail made Dick's heart happy, Gianna, Gianna, I said that I wanted to repay you, so I will help you break up this bad relationship, so that you don't have to run around with the name of "Kevna" in the future.
Dick's glorious history in the past three years has been deeply hidden by him in the past time, so even Gianna and the old paladin who saved him don't know that this kid who looks like a farmer is also the number one person.
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
Dick hung his head without being humble or arrogant, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's a pleasure to see you again." ”
It wasn't that Dick was talking nonsense, but when he brought back the orc report, he was personally received by King Terenus and awarded him a "knight's medal", the highest honor a civilian soldier could receive, and it was Arthas himself who pinned the medal to his leather armor.
So, this is the second time the two have met.
But Dick apparently understood what was important, so without waiting for Arthas to ask, he whispered,
"Please shield your Highness, I have something very important to report to you!
Hearing this, Arthas glanced at Dick, then waved his hand, and the four paladin guards who accompanied him, and the old paladin who accompanied Arthas walked in, immediately walked out of the room, and only Dick, Arthas, and Gianna were left.
"Your Highness, I used to be a sheriff in Talon County, and after fighting off a group of fishmen, I accidentally found a knight from the court, and he said that he was a scout sent by you, and this is his identification badge. ”
Dick opened his clothes with difficulty, took out a small iron plate from the inner pocket of his shirt, and handed it to Arthas, who looked at it in his hand with a solemn face, and nodded,
"This is indeed the badge of the Night Stalker..."
"No, Your Highness, you don't have to test me anymore. ”
Dick waved his hand, looking weak, and said weakly, "His code name is Hunter, and he is the knight of the inner court you sent to Stratholme, and the time was half a month ago." ”
Arthas's temptation was exposed, but he didn't have any embarrassment, and Dick could understand it, after all, he was also a scout in the Fourth Legion, and this kind of precautionary mind was essential, so he said directly,
"Your Highness, according to the "Hunter" before his death, the source of this plague is actually in Stratholme, the specific address is in the area of Zurmasha, the plague is caused by grain transported from Stratholme to Andorhar, and the black hand in it calls himself the Cult of the Cursed God, and their leader is..."
Dick glanced at Gianna, who was staring at him, lowered his head, and spat out the name that made Gianna stunned,
"Kel'thugad, former Archmage of Dalaran. ”
"It can't be!"
Gianna stood up directly from the stool, a trace of panic flashed on her beautiful face, and seeing that Arthas was also looking at her with an indifferent face, Gianna hurriedly distinguished,
"It can't be! He... He must be talking nonsense! Brother Kel'thugad... He disappeared a year ago!"
Arthas looked at Gianna, then turned to look at Dick, who looked at him without a hint of dodging in his eyes.
"In fact, the reason why the hunter died was because he was discovered by Kel'thugad when he infiltrated the Cult of the Damned, planted a curse, and finally lost his physical strength and fell into the hands of the fishmen controlled by the Cult of the Damned. ”
Arthas was silent, facing an archmage, even he felt the pressure, and after half a minute, he asked in a hoarse voice,
"Where's the evidence? Dick, you know, without evidence, I can't submit a wanted warrant to my father against an archmage. ”
"I don't have any proof, but the hunter said that Kel'thugad is not staying in Stratholm right now, he is roaming the country of Lordaeron, secretly manipulating the circulation of those plague grains, so you can easily find evidence by following the direction of those grains. ”
