41." Loyalty"

41. In fact, the official Alsace cp is invincible, right?

In a manor outside the royal city, two children who had once again escaped were in a stable, looking at the newborn foals in front of them. The foal www.biquge.info as if he was afraid of the wind, had not yet opened his eyes, but had staggered to his feet with the help of his fragile legs, and after staggering a few steps, he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Oh......"

As if not hearing the exclamations of the children at all, the foal trembled again and prepared to stand up, and this time, the mare who had just stood by reached over and gently pushed her child, and then, with the gaze of the onlookers and the help of the mare, the foal finally stood firm, and at the same time, opened its eyes, and made a cheerful clatter for the first time in her life to the world.

"Hoo ......"

Arthas could clearly hear Esney's relieved voice on the side, he turned his head with a smile and asked the gray-faced girl, "How is it, isn't it a surprise?" ”

"Although it may not be a surprise...... "Looking at Arthas, who was also dirty, Esni seemed to want to reach out and wipe it, and then looked directly at the dirty things on his hands and laughed, "Forget it, before being taught by others, Your Highness should go take a bath first." ”

Under the leadership of the court groom, the two cleaned their bodies and changed their clothes. By the time he got back to the stable, the foal, who had just struggled to get up, was already enjoying himself beside the mare. Seeing the foal's carefree but energetic appearance, the two children couldn't help but laugh.

"Whenever I feel depressed, I come here to see the miracle of life," Arthas explained to Esney, "and it's not that decent, but it's enough to make people smile." ”

"As the so-called war horse is a warrior's friend, that's probably it?"

"Sort of," Arthas couldn't help but feel a sense of expansion when he saw such a thing as intellectual curiosity on the other party's face for the first time, "cough, you know, for a knight, a war horse that shares his heart is very important. For example, Uther's 'steadfastness', which is a partner he has cultivated from a foal over the course of seven years. Although my 'invincible' is not very old, he will definitely be a comrade-in-arms who will fight side by side with me in the future. ”

"I see......"

"So, Isnny, as my retinue, you too," Arthas said as he looked at the foal in front of him, "I gained my invincibility when I was nine years old, so you should be 11 years old enough to get your own companion." ”

"Hey, didn't Your Highness become an attendant when he was 11 years old?"

"Ahem, royal people always have to have some preferential treatment, in short, don't care about the details." Arthas faked a cough, "So, Esney, don't you want to give your future partner a name?" ”

"In that case...... Seeing Arthas's attitude of not being able to disobey, Esney looked at the still coquettish pony in front of him and said softly, "Just call it ...... Be loyal. ”

"Good name," Arthas clapped his hands, "but the little loyalty is still too immature, let it be close to its mother for a while, and then let's go to another business." ”

"But......" Isni looked up at the sun at the zenith, but turned her head to see Alsace's excited look, so she didn't stop her, "So where are we going?" ”

"Shhh Arthas put his finger in front of his mouth, "Don't make a noise, or we won't be able to run." ”

The bronze dragon Chromie walks among the ruins.

At this point in time, such ruins are everywhere on the eastern continent, from Stormwind City to Nanhai Town, there are countless settlements destroyed by orcs, a few lucky ones can escape with their lives, and most of them are completely in ruins, just like these settlements.

"Why are these beasts allowed into this world?"

She asked questions into the void, only knowing that there was only one answer to her question.

What's more, this time I came to this point in time, not to denounce what the orcs had done during this time, but to explore the source of the anomaly.

"Well, it looks like this is it."

Chromie looked at Mograine, who had just found a child from the ruins in the distance, and nodded.

"Now that the target has been found, let's move on to the next round of action."

With that, she opened the door of time once more, wanting to go to the place where it all began. This is not an easy task, even if the bronze dragon is the guardian of time, the rewinding of time is enough to drain her spirit. Probably no Time Keeper would do this except for Chromie, a bronze dragon who likes to meddle around.

"Wait, dear little girl, I can't let you do it any longer."

However, this time the door of time had just opened, and the figure of Nozdorm, the king of time, appeared from the door one step ahead of Chromie, and he just used one finger to close the door, and at the same time, there was also Chromie's time directional cursor.

"Nozdorm? Why? ”

"It's up to you," Nozdorm said, "the most taboo thing for a Time Keeper is to lose your place in the flow of time, and if you go on like this, you'll be no different from those Infinity Dragons." ”

"But someone has already revised history!"

"What is history? What is a modification? "Since it has been called history, there is no amendment, because it is already a foregone conclusion." What we want to protect is this kind of thing that has become a foregone conclusion. ”

“……”

"You've been too impatient lately," said Nozdorm, "so you'd better go back to the Cave of Time and calm down during this time." ”

"Yes, Nozdorm."

Looking at Mograine with some hatred, Chromie followed Nozdorm into the portal that had been opened again.

"This time, where we are going, we need a ...... of battle"

Before the space-time portal closed, the voice from Nozdorm drifted out, and then, slowly falling silent, in the ruins.

"Okay, if I get here, no one will chase me back."

In an orchard in the northern part of the Silver Pine Forest, Alsace chose a shady place to sit down. And Eisni, who ran all the way with him, looked at Arthas with a dead fish-eyed look, and said in a tone that seemed to be complaining, but more helpless: "So, Your Highness just wants to sneak away?" ”

"Don't say it so badly, it's called an internship!" Arthas followed the example of Terenus and said, "Ahem, it is only by going deep into your people that you can understand what they desperately need, and only by meeting these needs can you be qualified to be their king!" ”

"So has Your Highness found out what your people need?"

"Of course I did, but it's not a very simple thing," Arthas said as he reached out to pluck the fruit from the fruit tree beside him, "You see, for the owner of this orchard, the fruit is so full and sweet, it is what he desperately needs." ”

"Then may I ask, what is the most urgent need of His Highness right now?"

"It's to find out something," Arthas said as he pulled Asney to sit beside him, "if I'm going to be specific, it's that I want to get a closer look at the orcs." ”

"Why?"

"Because I want to verify something...... Okay, okay, I'm not kidding," he hurriedly apologized to Esney, who rolled his eyes, and then Arthas thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I just want to see what kind of orcs these orcs are...... Stuff? Or is it a person? ”

"Why do you think that?" Isni was a little surprised, "Aren't they a bunch of bloodthirsty beasts?" ”

"But since the end of the war, the bloodthirsty beasts have been kept in cages," Arthas asked rhetorically, "have you ever seen such bloodthirsty beasts?" ”

"That doesn't just mean they're people, does it?" Eisni does not fully agree with Alsace's words, "Even if their performance is indeed very different from the previous one, it will take a more detailed and lengthy observation to change their opinions, and if they simply change their attitudes, then where are the people who died in the previous wars?" ”

Arthas looked at Eisni, who was calm and determined in front of him, and realized that he had no words to refute the other party.

After all, apart from Arthas himself, there is no one in the current alliance who has experienced the holy war on Mount Hyjal, let alone know that the orcs are also a group of intelligent beings with their own world, their own wisdom, and their own culture. Of course, they don't understand that their rage is the result of demonic blood.

They only know that the orcs in front of them, who have destroyed Stormwind and killed countless people of the Alliance, are executioners and invaders. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's inconceivable that Tyrenus just locked them up instead of killing them.

"That's why I'm going to look," Alsace said, "with my own eyes, not through others." ”

"In that case, why didn't Your Highness just apply for the status of administrator of a shelter?" Isn't it easier for Esni to observe those orcs?" ”

"Indeed, you're right," Arthas felt his mind open in a flash of inspiration, "how come I hadn't thought of that before?" ”

As he spoke, he jumped to his feet, and was about to walk back. However, after only two steps, the young prince pressed the impulse in his heart, he turned his head, and said to the girl who had just stood up, "But there are other things to do on this journey, so let's finish him first about the asylum." ”
