Chapter Seventy-Five: Unraveling
"Uther, let me tell you a story. Etis looked at Uther and said with great seriousness.
Uther didn't seem to be in the mood to listen to the story, and sat there silent.
Etis didn't mind talking to himself: "There are some more spiritual animals in Quel'Thalas, the country of the High Elves, among them are foxes, where foxes are covered in red fur, looking like a burning flame from a distance, every spring they will consciously form a family, this red fox is an extremely loyal animal, each fox has a fixed mate, but do you know how they raise their offspring?"
Attiston paused for a moment and continued: " Whenever they give birth to a little fox, both husband and wife will raise it together, but one of them is all out to forage and teach hunting skills when they are targeted by the large magic spring lynx, the male fox in order to protect the mother fox and the cub died under the claws of the magic spring lynx, the mother fox escaped with the cub, and then the mother fox has been dedicated to raising the little fox, but one day the female fox in order to feed the cubs, risky ran to the territory of the magic spring lynx to steal some fruit trees from the fruit tree, was found by the magic spring lynx blinded, with the fruit escaped......”
"You know, it's very difficult to blind an animal to forage for food, let alone take the cubs with you, and the she-fox was hungry and had a good time pulling the cubs up on her own, and it was spring again, and the cubs were growing up, and the she-fox did something that surprised the scholars who observed them...... It drove all the cubs out of the cave in a rage...... After doing this, the female fox lay down in the cave and waited for her to die...... During this period, some reluctant cubs caught the little prey and wanted to share it with their mother, but the female fox did not appreciate it and almost bit off their ears...... After that, the little cubs never came back, and the food was left, but until they died....."
"The she-fox didn't even eat a bite of that food...... At last..... starved to death, and the little cubs successfully formed a family and survived. ”
Etis finished the story and sat down next to Uther: "Uther, you say..... Why did those red foxes do that?"
Uther closed his eyes as if thinking, at first he didn't care about the story Etis told, but later Etis understood what Etis meant when he told the Red Fox to drive away the cubs.
"You mean Alsace has grown up..... I'm too much to manage......"
Etis continued noncommittally: "Nature is a very interesting thing, it will teach us a lot of truths, and human beings are also a part of nature......
Probably knowing what Etis meant, Uther's face was a little lost: "Etis...... After all, humans are not like animals......"
Atis smiled: "Uther, have you ever taught Arthas the art of foraging that truly belongs to him?If he is one of those little cubs of the red fox, do you think he will survive?Uther, the way of the Holy Light you taught, will not make him wait for what he wants..... Alsace also has no more experience .... He went so well..... This is your rereliction of duty...."
Uther was silent for a moment and continued, ".... Even if what you say is right, what's the use now......"
"Alsace should be graduating...... Uther, all you need to do now is teach him one last lesson, catch up on what he's missing, and ...... He needs to write his own life......."
Uther muttered to himself, "The last lesson...... Missing ....."
Etis caressed Bigworth without saying a word, and at this time he was already stuck in his own memories, thinking about his previous failed life: "If anyone can teach me this lesson..... Maybe..... Arthas is really lucky......" Uther also stared at the ground in a daze, whispering something..... A strange picture appeared here.
After a while, Uther seemed to think of something, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and soon Uther stood up, and he nodded gratefully to Etis.
Etis nodded and smiled back.
Uther, who had figured out something, was about to go to Arthas, and had just taken a step when he suddenly got down on one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Etis's face changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to support Uther, and after a fireball in his hand burned the blood on the ground, he took advantage of the fact that no one around him was paying attention, and helped Uther to an unmanned tent.
"What's going on?" asked Etis eagerly after helping Uther to sit down.
Uther smiled bitterly, "Thank you, Etis, for a great job...... The news of my injury cannot be spread, and there is a terrible shadow that still lurks in the shadows, and I cannot expose my weaknesses..... Also to stabilize everyone's emotions. ”
Etis frowned and asked, "Did you have any problems saving Arthas?"
"Yes....... Before I met Arthas, the demon who had escaped earlier found me....."
"Dreadlord ......"
"Is it called the Dreadlord?"
"Yes, also called Nasrezm, is a type of demon, good at trickery and mind magic, not a fighting race......"
Uther nodded with a solemn face: "The two Dreadlord fought with me, the demon named Marganis was not involved, I heard that he went to find Arthas, and the other two probably wanted to drag me down or see if there was a chance to kill me..... It's a pity they underestimated me...... We fought for a while, both of us were a little injured, and after a while they were gone..... Uh, why are you looking at me like that...."
Etis looked at Uther strangely and said, "Uther, can you use the Holy Light for me once......"
Uther was a little puzzled: "Of course you can. Immediately, a holy light spell was played, and Etis silently felt this holy light technique, allowing Alpha to compare it with the previous holy light of Uther, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw him sigh helplessly: "Uther, you have to remember..... The Dreadlords are good at disguise, and when they kill or occupy a person, they can gain some of that person's memories and take that person's place...... Ordinary methods are almost impossible to detect..... If it weren't for me remembering the unique fluctuations of your Light, I guess....... I don't dare trust you anymore....."
Uther was taken aback: "Could it be ..... You doubt ....."
"I don't know ......"
Uther lowered her head and pondered for a moment and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this news yet..... I'll keep an eye out...... Pressing matter.... Well, I'd better go find Alsace.... By the way, Attis, you say, will Arthas let me go north with him?"
Although Etis was not surprised that Uther would make such a decision, he still spread his hands and said, "Definitely not..... But I don't think you're going to leave anywhere now..."
Uther smiled bitterly: "I also don't think Arthas will let me go, and even if I stay here now to recuperate, it's useless, the important thing is Arthas's safety, I guess he will definitely fall into some trap if he goes to the north....."
Etis sighed and thought with some malice, in fact, Uther is Arthas's father?
...... Uther is not injured, but now do you want to let Uther go to the north like this? With Uther's temperament, even if Arthas does not let him go, it is estimated that he will go secretly..... After all, Uther's cross can be said to have saved his life, and this trip must have been very dangerous...... Etis hesitated.
