"I'm sorry ......"

Pressing Cocobo's head, Lulu's face turned red and her voice was like a mosquito, making it almost impossible to hear what she was saying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although Alsace felt that Lulu could not be blamed for this, he was not able to speak when Fording had not yet spoken, so he just reached out and held Lulu's hand and signaled his support.

"Hmm......" Ferding was still moody, but when he saw the hand held by Arthas and Lulu, his eyes flickered, "Your Highness, as a fiancé, is it your responsibility to pay for the damages here?" ”

Arthas smiled bitterly, and sure enough, he had come around here. Silently stretched out his hand to pull Lulu, who wanted to speak, Arthas said: "Of course, but it's ruined like this anyway, why don't we just start from scratch and take advantage of the situation to carry out the planned reconstruction?" ”

"It will probably take a few months to clean up," said Ferdin, "and in the meantime, Your Highness will devote the main energy to the pursuit of Kel'thugad." ”

In that moment, Arthas felt that he had definitely heard Esney's snickering laughter.

===

"And that's how it became......"

A disappointed Alsace crouched in the woods, boredly fiddling with the dog's tail grass in front of him. Next to him were Cocobo, who was staring at him curiously, and Lulu, who was preparing a meal by the campfire.

As for Esni, at the moment when she decided to camp and rest, she didn't know why she ran out in the name of hunting wild meat, and she hasn't come back yet.

Old man Ferding was much darker than he had imagined, and this was one thing that Arthas was sure of.

Although Arthas said that the loss was all covered, the cleaning expenses alone used up his small treasury or something, which is too bad! That's the money that Alsace was going to Northrend to develop a station, and it was just a pit out by Fordin?

It's not magical.

However, in the face of the old man's knife smile, Arthas had no way to refute, so he had to hand over his wallet with tears in his eyes, and then there was no more. The group is now sleeping in the wilderness, on the one hand, because the trip is indeed urgent, and on the other hand, because Alsace is really penniless now.

"Arthas, do you want some hot water?"

"Thanks, Lulu, you can rest for a while, I'll just watch the campfire," Arthas took the glass and took a sip, "Hey, this tastes like this." ”

"I picked out some green oranges and a little herb to put in," Lulu carefully observed Arthas's expression, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

"It's a very interesting taste," Arthas felt his spirits lifted by the fragrance in his mouth that could dispel fatigue, "It's amazing, Lulu, I feel like the fatigue of my whole body is gone!" ”

"There's so magic about it," Lulu laughed deliciously, "it's just ordinary herbal tea." ”

"But Lulu is different," Arthas said, taking another big sip, "Ah, it's delicious." ”

"Lulu made ......" Lulu's face turned red, "different ......"

"It would be nice if I could drink it every day in the future......"

"Every day!"

"But this tea is a hassle to make, right? If ......"

"No trouble, no trouble at all!" Lulu suddenly picked up the huge teapot and kept trying to add tea to Arthas, "It's okay, Arthas, you can drink as many cups as you want!" It's no problem to drink it every day! ”

"Hey, hey, wait for Lulu to calm down first!" It took a lot of effort for Arthas to avoid the problem of being doused with tea, "Okay, okay, anyway, we need to have a good rest, right?" Come, give me the teapot...... Okay, calm down, huh...... Cocoa Wave? ”

"Toot-"

Lulu, who was holding the teapot tightly, was suddenly stumbled by Coco **** who arched behind her, and as soon as the strength in her hand was loosened, the teapot was taken away by Arthas. But before she panicked, she only felt a warmth in front of her, and it was already Arthas who reached out to support her shoulders.

"Okay, look at your face is pale," said Arthas, who was blushing with shame, but Arthas still opened his eyes and said nonsense, and lay back with Lulu pressed, "Take a good rest, you see, Coco Bo has taken the initiative to lean over." ”

The obese chocobo leaned over without a teacher, and wrapped Lulu, who was still a little flustered, with his soft body. Feeling the temperature of Cocobo, Lulu's mood stabilized a little, and then seemed to have some regret.

Shaking her head at the watery eyes of Lulu, Arthas gently stroked her hair as she prepared the Holy Light spell to begin her daily treatment. When I was young, I saw that Lulu couldn't stand the physical and mental exhaustion after the excitement, and quickly fell asleep.

"Alsace...... Vanilla tea ......"

However, even in her sleep, Lulu seems to be thinking about the herb tea she drinks every day. While Alsace felt a little funny, his heart was also warm, and at the same time, something heavy seemed to weigh up.

"Probably the weight of responsibility, right?" I don't know when Esni reappeared and touched Cocobo's bird's head, "Seeing Lulu like this, will you still do that kind of thing that disappears without saying a word, Your Highness?" ”

"So when did I ever do something like this?"

"Instinct...... "Ever since I first met His Highness, I felt that His Highness seemed to be the kind of person who would suddenly disappear one day without saying a word. ”

"I'm not the kind of person who is irresponsible."

"Really?" Esney asked rhetorically, then shook his head, "Maybe it's just my delusion." ”

Then, she fell asleep on the other side of Cocobo, and did not continue the conversation.

Seeing that Isni himself refused to continue the conversation, Arthas sat down on the spot, and after a while, he got up again, picked up the blanket he had prepared, covered the two girls, and then turned back to the campfire, and slowly closed his eyes.

Not for sleep, of course.

The matter of sentry, Arthas has been handed over to the four ghosts to be in charge, this kind of small and convenient souls, there are a lot of them in the orc warlocks, as the price of liberating them, it is good to use them to do some odd and miscellaneous goods. As for Alsace now, it is to contact his subordinates in Northrend in the north, so he will choose such a position.

When Galissus replaced the Alterac royal family as the commander, Arthas mercilessly erased the wisdom of the Alterac royal family, choosing to make them powerful ignorant puppets and instead make Gather the leader of the Northland base.

And Garissus didn't disappoint Arthas either.

After replacing Gathers' personal desires with the supreme will of the Lich King, Gallishas's talents were greatly displayed, as if he had been emotionally processed, and in just a few months since the end of the Orc War, he had completely fortified the base in the Northlands, and achieved eighty percent of Arthas's planned goals.

Although it is eighty percent, the last two percent may only be completed by Alsace himself. The water in Northrend was much deeper than the two fools who had rushed north for the sake of a big bat before, and Arthas felt that it was more terrifying than the Lich King, who had already been completely seen through by his own family.

For example, Yugsaron.

For these indescribable things that are broken in your ears when they have nothing to do, no matter how careful you are, it is absolutely right, this is not just a matter of being corrupted or enslaved by the ancient gods, the spirit is too unstable, in the face of absolute vigilance, the ancient gods may not be able to directly enslave you, but it doesn't take much strength to twist you, maybe it will get twice the result with half the effort.

As far as Arthas knows, there are such powerful people as a deer helmet, a bear monster, and an archbishop (of course, it is not certain whether this is indeed the case). Of course, Arthas thinks that this list probably needs to add himself who sits on the Ice Throne, but his own family doesn't know about his own affairs, so he won't include it here. With so many vivid examples right in front of him, wouldn't it be foolish for Arthas not to prepare in advance to face these ancient gods.

So, the order given by Alsace this time was to consolidate the base and then start exploring. The undead are extremely resistant to the Elder Gods because their will is completely controlled by the Lich King, and it is easy to explore the territory of the Elder Gods. As for the base that has already been built, in addition to maintenance, it should be regarded as the basis for running Northrend in the future.

After arranging things to the north, Arthas began to search for another target, Kel'thugad.

Although Arthas's power about the Lich King is basically half-crippled because of the Great Seal, only the mental abilities that have been extremely strengthened by the demon's strengthened and twisted power are still there. Using this ability to find a caster who yearns for spiritism is as easy as finding a beacon in the night. What's more, Arthas himself could sense the call of Kel'thugad.

"It seems that Neozu has become the Lich King, and has also contacted Kel'thugad," Feeling the impurities on Kel'thugad's personal signal, Arthas became vigilant, "So how much has Neozu recovered now?" Have you conquered the Spider Kingdom? ”

Thinking back to the information brought by Gallishas, Arthas did not realize that it contained information or clues about the fall of the Underground Kingdom. So it seems that the current Naozu is still entangled by those spiders, and there should be no power to guide Kel'thugad.

In other words, it's just a volt line, isn't it......

Having come to this conclusion, Arthas couldn't help but laugh silently.

"Then, Nao Zu, this time, I will attack first."
