Chapter Seventy-Four: Adopting Bigworth
Etis walked into the woods for a while, but did not find the flickering shadow.
"Am I wrong? No...... I can't be mistaken. Etis shook his head and rejected his thoughts, "Look for it again, it should be nearby......."
Sure enough, with the efforts of Etis, he finally found the small thing he was looking for under a dying pine tree, this little thing curled up with a slightly trembling body, the white hair on the body was a little messy, and the hair on the body was a little black, as if it had been burned, and it was glued to the body piece by piece.
Seeing this, Etis sighed and gently hugged Bigworth: "You..... How did you make it like this, didn't Kel'thugad say, just let you come to me directly. ”
"Meow~"
Bigworth raised his somewhat weak head, screamed softly, stretched out his tongue and licked Ettis's hand, and then lay directly in Etis's arms and did not move.
As if sensing Bigworth's grief, Etis gently brushed Bigworth's somewhat disheveled hair and said, "You've been to see him......."
Bigworth also seemed to understand who Atis was talking about, and shook his body slightly.
"You dodged near me and didn't come to me directly, I understand, you're actually hesitating, aren't you? You still hope he's still alive, I'm afraid he won't find you, right?"
Bigworth didn't answer and remained silent, regardless of whether Bigworth understood it or not, Atis continued to say to himself: "Don't worry, that man is not that simple...... He's definitely ready for everything and he'll be back for sure......."
Bigworth was finally silent, and rubbed Attis's hand with its little face, which was kind of an endorsement of what he had said.
Etis smiled, "So, you should stay in Dalaran and wait for him to come back...... Then go ahead and be your Cat-Overlord!"
Bigworth looked at Etis with small blue eyes, seemed to have recovered some energy, raised his head proudly, shook his furry and patted Etis, as if to say, "You have vision!"
Etis was amused by Bigworth's movements, patted Bigworth on the head and said, "Let's go, little one!
"Meow!"
"Uh-huh! I know, I know, I will find a place to wash you first, you see that you are really dirty, you are a lady!"
Stroking the hair from Bigworth's body, Etis walked towards Stratholme's camp, "It's almost settled, it's time to leave, eh..... No, it seems to be Chromie...... Forget it, no matter, she doesn't seem to care about me now......"
........
Stratholme Gate.
Since the spread of the plague was temporarily controlled, there was a temporary camp near the gates of Stratholme, where the surviving inhabitants of Stratholm lived, guarded by some troops, and occasionally volunteers could be seen as militiamen to help the slightly understaffed soldiers on patrols.
Uther sat in the corner of it a little decadently, looking at the light in his hand and sighing, he had doubts about his own ideas, and the holy light seemed to be affected and became a little dim.
The Holy Light is originally related to the spirit of the individual, and after being favored by the Holy Light, the stronger the inner being, the stronger the Holy Light will be, and vice versa.
Gianna looked at Uther with some concern: "Uther...... You don't have to, or ..... You go back and find Uncle Terenus first, maybe only Uncle Terenus can stop Arthas......"
Uther smiled bitterly: "Gianna, tell me, I am usually too strict with Arthas, how could he become so extreme, if it weren't for your Dalaran intervention, I don't know what it would have been like this time...... Looks like I'm such a failure......."
Gianna wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Uther, I don't know why Arthas is like this...... It's just that Arthas is now organizing a team to go north, and has also launched a recruitment order among the survivors of Stratholme...... There were a lot of angry masses who responded to him..... I'm worried about ....."
Uther shook his head: "I believe that His Majesty the King will indeed stop him, but ...... Arthas is reluctant to go back now, and His Majesty does not know the situation here, so no one can stop Arthas from launching a northward ....... in the name of the crown prince."
Gianna continued, "I can open the portal now..... It's just that I haven't been to Lordaeron since I advanced, and I don't have Lordaeron's coordinates....."
Uther said with a look of relief and disappointment, "I know what you want to say...... When Arthas decided to go north, he sent the only powerful mage to the coastline, on the grounds that he would protect the fleet that was going to go to sea....... Now no one can teleport directly, and you can't get the coordinates...... It's not leaky, this is to prevent me from intervening directly....... When reinforcements from the Valley of the Hearth arrive, Alsace will surely set off immediately...... Estimated tomorrow morning at the latest."
"And what about the inhabitants here? he doesn't care?" said Gianna, a little surprised.
"That's where I say he doesn't leak....... He's already gone to clear the road to Fireplace Valley himself...... The Fireplace Valley side is probably ready in advance....... At that time, these survivors will be able to temporarily move there under the escort of a few strong men and militias......"
"A handful of strong people?" Gianna was a little puzzled.
"It's me...... He knows I'm not going to refuse, and you know I'm now dismissed, and treason. Uther smiled bitterly.
Gianna was a little angry: "Uther, don't say that, everyone didn't take it seriously, it's just Arthas's nonsense!"
Uther sighed again: "He is the crown prince after all....... And I'm a knight. ”
"Old sighs will grow old soon, Uther, though you are old now, too. A joking voice came from the side.
"Etis, why are you here? And what you have in your hand? Are you alright?" Gianna was a little surprised to see the arrival.
Etis smiled and nodded, then said, "Gianna...... Let me talk to Uther alone. ”
Gianna looked at Uther, and then at Bigworth in Atis's arms, and although she was a little curious, she nodded and made room for Etis and Uther.
"You..... Explain it to me later. Gianna was a little stunned when she saw Bigworth in Atis's hand, and Atis shook her head a little funny when she saw Gianna like this, it seems that Bigworth and her 'holiday' five years ago gave her a big psychological shadow.
Gianna looked around warily, and although she had heard that Kel'thugad was dead, she always felt uncomfortable seeing Bigworth......
