Arthas was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Chief Drektar, is there a person named Thrall in your clan? He's probably about the same age as me now!" Drektar recalled, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have this person in my impression. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Uther glanced at Arthas, and his heart was full of doubts--where had Arthas heard the name of the orcs?Moreover, he seemed to know the origin of this frostwolf clan?Uther was puzzled, and did not ask his own question on the spot, while the heart of the Khadgar mage was full of helplessness and disappointment--Arthas, this disciple of his own, seemed to have been bewitched by the devil with certainty, otherwise, how could he have known about the orcs?
Of course, Arthas will not be bewitched by any demons, and the evil Sartre that Cadega mage thinks is just a jealous petite little magic sword. As for the name "Thrall", Arthas read memories from the souls of orc warriors who came to fight the Lich King, and in the original time stream, the leader of the orcs was named Thrall, also from the Frostwolf Clan. But how could the old chief say that there was no such man? Could he be lying?
Seeing that Arthas had no other problems, Uther said to Drektar, "Chief Drektar, I think you need to know that the reason why we have agreed to negotiate with you today is because we speculate that you and your people did not participate in the two wars against Stormwind, and that you have never had human blood on your hands. Now, please tell us if our guess is accurate. In the light of your answers, it will be decided whether this negotiation can continue. ”
Wen Lesa couldn't help but purse her lips when she heard Uther's words, and thought to herself - this uncle is so stupid, if I were that old orc, of course, I would say that I had not participated in the attack on humans, should I be stupid to say, "I killed your people, but please let me go"?
As Winlessa had expected, Drektar's answer was yes, but he did it in a different way—the old orc chief raised his right hand high, and Tirio Fording nervously rested his hand on the hilt of his sword because of Drektar's movements. Next, the old orc closed his eyes and spoke loudly in orc language.
Uther looked at Master Caddagar, waiting for his translation. Khadgar Mage frowned, and said with some uncertainty, "What he said is that I swear in the name of the elemental spirits that I and my people have not participated in the war against humanity. We were exiled here before the war, and we have been settled here for almost six years since then. ”
After translating the old orc's words, Mage Khadgar couldn't help but ask, "Elemental spirit...... Are you a shaman?" Drektar said in surprise, "Do you know the shamanic profession?" This time it was changed to a lingua franca, apparently in order to reflect the importance of the oath in his native language.
Master Khadgar hesitated and said, "Yes, I know. However, a friend of mine told me that there are no shamans left among the orcs. "Everyone present, except for Winlessa and the old chief of the orcs, knew a little bit about the story of Mage Khadgar, and knew that the "friend" he was referring to was the half-orc, half-draenei, Garona, who was also the murderer of Urian's father, King Ryan of Stormwind. But...... Does Master Khadgar still consider that female orc a friend?
Drektar said, "Indeed, this friend of yours knows us orcs well. I don't think he's an orc or a Draenei, right?" Khadgar mage nodded, not speaking, but Drektar couldn't think that his guess was more of a full hit than right, because Garona was half and half orc, half-draenei half-blood.
Drektar continued, "Indeed, when we were in our hometown, communication with the elements was cut off, and most of the shamans threw themselves into the realm of warlocks and began to practice dark magic. Only we, the Frostwolf Clan, the chief at the time, my old friend Durotan, forbade us to practice shadow spells. But the feeling of losing power was so painful that the shamans in the clan gradually left the clan, and only I did not waver in my faith. Luckily, my persistence paid off, and after coming to your world, I regained my ability to communicate with the elemental spirits. However, I am probably the last shaman of all orcs. ”
Mnage Khadgar listened to Drektar's words and nodded to Uther—the shaman's worship of elemental spirits was to the druids to nature, and the paladins to the light. And what the old orc said was basically the same as what he had heard from Garona.
Uther received an affirmation from Master Khadgar, nodded and said, "Then, Chief Drektar, we can start negotiating. My offer is that all your people, lay down their weapons and, escorted by human armies, head north to the northernmost tip of the continent and mine trees in the territory of Tirio. The kingdom of Lordaeron and the castle of Madenhold will keep your people safe and supplied, and you will have to trade your young labor for that until we find a better way to settle you. "Uther is really not good at negotiating, and he handed over all his hole cards as soon as he came up.
However, for a rare wise man among the orcs like Drektar, Uther's ways were more likely to win his trust. Drektar pondered for a moment, and said in that strange tone, "However, we have lived in this valley for more than five years, and we have never had any conflicts or contradictions with the humans nearby. Can't you let us stay here any longer?, I promise my people won't leave the valley. ”
Uther shook his head decisively after listening to Drektar's words, and said, "I'm sorry, but what I just said is the best that we humans can do. I want you to understand that the Alterac Mountains are vital to the Human Alliance, and that by allowing you to be in the Alterac Valley, we are constantly exposing our ribs to danger. So, I can't accede to your request. ”
Drektar was about to say something, but Arthas suddenly interjected, "Actually, I have a better way, if you can agree, Chief." As if grasping a life-saving straw, Drektar hurriedly asked, "What way?" Arthas said leisurely, "Let your people join our army and fight against your compatriots." ”
