Chapter 224: Lost (10)
Loria still can't figure out why she got lost, and although her little compass often makes mistakes, this is the first time that it has failed for unknown reasons...... She was pretty sure there wasn't anything strange buried in the valley beneath the monastery that interfered with the magnets.
Looking back now, Loria feels more and more strange, she has always had a good sense of direction, even if the compass is aside, it is unlikely that she will take the west (where Loria was caught by Varymasas) as the northeast (the direction of the monastery), and as for the wrong direction, she does not know it, and she has walked a considerable distance until she encounters Varymasas, which is even more incredible.
It's as if she's been manipulated - and when Loria tells Alice about this idea, Alice just gives an irresponsible diagnosis of over-self-awareness.
The consequences of getting lost can be described as devastating, and in order to save Loria, Alice has become a love cake...... What's even worse is that he was captured in the Undercity and became a captive of the undead.
When Loria begins to adjust to life as a captivity, and sometimes finds ways to have fun with herself and Alice, she often mourns her resilience, sighs and professes that she has fallen into a lost path in life.
Although she did not face any persecution, she was afraid that one day she would willingly occupy the position of a prisoner and **fall.
…… For several days since Loria's failed Minotaur joke, Sylvanas ignored her, occasionally worrying about her impending fate, and Loria thought that Her Majesty, the Queen of the Forsaken, had forgotten about her.
"What are you thinking?"
As if he had finished his work, Sylvanas actually opened his mouth to talk to Loria.
Loria was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly called, but she was staring down at the floor after standing next to her for nearly an hour.
"It's nothing, Your Majesty, I'm just in a daze. ”
"Hmm......" Sylvanas nodded, wiped the pen in his hand, and after a pause, said slowly, "You're weird, it seems, you don't seem to be afraid of me." ”
Loria's appearance is too deceptive.,People who see her for the first time will inevitably measure her by the standards of ordinary Lori.,Like to run away is out of a cautious character.,Her courage is actually not small.。
"Her Majesty the Queen...... Do I need to be afraid?"
Loria suppressed her nervousness and asked softly, and at the third meeting, Sylvanas finally stopped placing Y, and Loria realized that the next conversation would decide her fate.
"Of course you know that we are enemies, and your identity protects you from death, but also puts you in a more dangerous situation. Putting down the pen in his hand, Sylvanas did not answer the question, but stared into Loria's eyes and continued: "Bravery is a valuable quality, but it is not uncommon, and what really makes me feel strange is ...... I have never seen hatred in your eyes. ”
In a few silent interactions, Loria had peeked at Sylvanas countless times, most of them curious glances...... Sylvanas, of course, was aware of the sneaky scrutiny, and from the reports from the banshees who monitored Loria, the human Lori had never expressed a noticeable dislike for any of the Forsaken, and even worse, she had become 'friends' with a banshee.
It would be a miracle if Loria wasn't a discrete person who was extremely good at disguise, if she didn't hate the Forsaken...... Of course, Loria is good at pretending to be good, but since she became the eldest lady of the Scarlet Crusade and lived in a pampered environment, she has rarely deliberately disguised herself to please others.
Of course, Loria never showed that she liked the undead...... But after the humans of Lordaeron were brutally killed by a natural disaster, it is rare for someone to show a neutral attitude towards the Forsaken - although the culprit who almost destroyed the human race was not the Forsaken, hatred always blinds.
Sylvanas didn't know that Loria, who had never experienced that history firsthand, certainly retained the sanity to distinguish between the Scourge and the Forsaken...... It is even more impossible to know that she came from some era of pluralistic civilization and received a higher education.
Loria is certainly not a saint, and is consumed by hatred when she mistakenly thinks that Alice is dead...... When there is no conflict with her own feelings or interests, she is very willing to understand other races with a friendly attitude.
The ideas she draws from modern civilization are the real extra-spec forces...... It was this power that protected her from the Forsaken, and kept Sylvanas from making the decision to kill her.
"Huh?" Loria couldn't keep up with the rhythm: "Why hate, I don't have a deep grudge against the Forsaken." ”
Of course, I can't say I like it, but if I really want to say it, I'm still a little annoying...... As for the Crusader patrol who was killed by the Forsaken before, she also killed the murderer herself...... But there are still a lot of personal feuds with the Dreadlord that are gone.
"Have you ever thought of inheriting the Scarlet Crusaders and commanding them?"
"Judging by the current situation...... This seems unlikely, and if you don't get caught, it's probably a matter of course. ”
When Loria finished answering the question, Sylvanas's eyes suddenly became fierce, almost more terrifying than the director of the town education department who stood at the school gate with a huge murder weapon (scissors) when she was a child, and hurt the girls' long hair. 1
You must know that for a child, an adult holding a murder weapon to hurt himself and his companions is enough to leave a terrible psychological shadow...... It gives a glimpse of how scared Loria really is.
Fortunately, Sylvanas quickly lowered her head and continued to go about her business, and Loria, who was not nailed to the wall by the black arrow as she imagined, breathed a sigh of relief.
She realized that her life had been saved for the time being.
After that, Sylvanas didn't talk to Loria again, and Pink Lori trembled again after the danger passed...... In addition to peeking at Sylvanas from time to time, she moved slightly around the Queen's small hall.
Although she did not dare to touch the Queen's things, it did not prevent the bored Loria from looking east and west, and she moved to the bookshelf to see the names on the spine - all in Quel'Salas, which she could not read.
In the end, Loria was still attracted by the beautiful box that she had noticed for a long time...... She stared for a long time at the elegant-looking ebony box carved with unnamed flowers, and while Sylvanas was immersed in writing, she couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
The box made an uncanny crisp metallic sound, causing Loria to turn her head to look at Sylvanas.
The queen looked at the startled pink-haired girl, and actually ...... laughed.
When Loria left, her hands wrapped around the big box she had been waiting for, Sylvanas gave it to her.
……
Note 1: When I was admitted to the university and returned to a junior high school by chance, I was shocked to find that there was a sign at the door of the office of the Office of the Suppression of Education, referred to as the Office of the Town Education...... They must have written a typo, I would have seen through it a long time ago!
