The guard received De Jong's order and turned around and used the key to open the door to the prison. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Arthas's gaze shifted to the cell.
Perhaps for security reasons, the cells were not equipped with torches or torches, but there were enough braziers outside the cells to give an unobstructed view of the cells.
An orc, of great size—larger than all the orcs Arthas had ever seen—stood in a corner of the prison.
I don't know if the creature slept after being escorted into the dungeon, but it was standing there now, shackled on its hands and feet, long iron locks extending from the walls, and the ends hanging from spikes that were deeply nailed into the walls.
Arthas noticed that the orc was also observing him, its eyes did not look clear, bloodshot, and somewhat cloudy, but they were not the blood-red color of the other orcs.
As the orc's gaze swept over him, Arthas could clearly see a mocking smile on the corner of its mouth—though Arthas didn't know what it was laughing at.
"Your Royal Highness, Prince Arthas, it is my duty to remind you once again that you must never come within ten steps of this orc. As Alsace walked into the cell, De Jong followed him and gave him a thousand instructions.
"Don't worry, Lord de Jong, my safety is assured. Arthas smiled and replied, "If you can, I would like you to find two chairs for me, and for this lady, and of course for yourself, for we may have to stay here for a long time." ”
De Jong didn't attend last night's military meeting in its entirety, nor did he arrive at Fadil Bay with the human army, and as a palace chief, no one informed him of the Alliance's plans for the next battle, so he didn't know that Frostmourn's current identity was that of a powerful frost mage.
De Jong was a little troubled by Arthas's calm performance, and he waved his hand and motioned for the palace guards to move the chairs outside the prison in, while he himself followed Arthas without leaving - if the little prince was very frightened at the sight of the orc, De Jong could have been a little more relieved, and his unfazed appearance made De Jong think that he was very likely to do something strange and dangerous.
The guards quickly moved the chairs, and at De Jong's behest, they were far away from the orc, Arthas didn't care too much, and went straight to a chair and sat down; Frost Sorrow, who had been in a daze for nothing, saw that Arthas had already sat down, she quickly trotted two steps, moved the other chair to Arthas, and then sat down next to her master.
Although the guards brought chairs for De Jong, De Jong stood beside Arthas with trepidation, thinking that if the little prince approached the orc out of curiosity, he would have to stop him in time.
"You speak the lingua franca, don't you?" Arthas asked, looking at the orc, who was staring at him.
There was no response, and although the contempt and disdain could be seen in the orc's gaze, it was not expressed in words.
"To be honest, I'm actually surprised by your ...... Wisdom, though I'm not used to praising an orc with such words. Arthas was slower, for he wasn't sure what the orc's lingua franca had reached, and he didn't know if he could understand himself, "but I have to admit that your tactics have worked, and if everything goes according to your expectations - in fact, you almost succeed - we humans are already dangerous." ”
"Huh!" Alsace chuckled at the sound of Arthas, though the orc still didn't speak—still full of disdain.
"You must be thinking that the previous passage from the mouth of a human child like me is not convincing at all, is it?" Arthas continued to himself, "whether it is how the human moles came into contact with you, or how you learned about the dwarven custom of hangovers on the Wine Festival, I think you would be interested to know how you failed?"
"How...... Failed?" the orc finally spoke, its voice hoarse, but the accent of the lingua franca was so standard that it was impossible to tell that it was not its native language without its hideous and ugly appearance.
De Jong was startled when he saw that the orc finally reacted, and his right hand couldn't help but wipe the hilt of the sword at his waist - this guy was still unconscious when he was escorted back, and it is said that he woke up several times during the escort, but was knocked unconscious by several paladins who were traveling with him.
When the orc woke up in the dungeon, De Jong once came to take a look, but at that time this guy was very quiet, and he didn't react to its situation, so De Jong didn't do much, and thought that it had been beaten stupid by those hairy paladins, but he didn't expect it to still be able to speak.
Arthas met the orc's terrifying gaze at him without flinching, still with a harmless smile on his face: "That's right—why did those cavalrymen appear under Riptide Castle, how were your lair destroyed in Grimbaatar, and how did that giant red dragon come to the battlefield and break up your army...... Don't you want to know all this? If you want to know, then let's make a deal -- I tell you what you want to know, you tell me what I want to know, and you don't owe each other, each has its own place, what do you think of this suggestion? Orgrim Doomhammer?"
Compared to his own pile of ceremonial nonsense, Arthas could clearly see that his last sentence really shook the determined mind of the orc.
It can be seen that the cloudy eyeballs are beginning to become clear, and the fierce light emitted is sharper;
"That's right, Orgrim, I don't just know your name, I also know a lot about you orcs, like Neozu, like Draenor, like Guldan, like ...... Frostwolf Clan. The smile on Arthas's face grew more and more eerie, and he found himself enjoying the process of playing with other people's minds.
De Jong stood a little behind Arthas's side, and the little prince's words confused him, but De Jong didn't see Arthas's expression at this time, otherwise, between Arthas and the orc, who was the demon and who was the persecuted, there would definitely be a subversive answer in his heart.
