72. The Lich King who entered the palace?
Just as Arthas and his party left the northern watchtower, Lulu finally opened her eyes again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Away from the Sunwell, Lulu's eyes were no longer full of arcane brilliance, replaced by a pair of deep amber pupils. Since the "colander physique" is probably Lulu's patent, without the eyes of the elves covered by the brilliance of the arcane energy, I am afraid that this is the only one. At least when Alsace first saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Woo......"
However, it was clear that Lulu didn't know what was going on in the coma, and the confession image that still remained in her mind made her involuntarily misunderstand Arthas's eyes, and her innate shyness made her pull up the quilt to cover her face, but then, she seemed to have made up her mind and pulled the quilt down again.
"Huh? What's wrong? Seeing that Lulu seemed to be full of determination, Arthas reached out and wiped her thin lips, "Don't purse your lips, look, it's all dry and peeling, let's drink some water first." ”
"Hmm......"
Seemingly disappointed, Lulu sat up obediently, and after Arthas had put on a fur coat for her, she took the cup full of hot water and snorted carefully.
"What does it taste like?"
"It's a little too sweet...... Hey? ”
Subconsciously speaking her feelings, Lulu was suddenly stunned, and then, tears the size of beans burst out of her eyes, and Arthas was so frightened that he hurriedly took the handkerchief, and then realized that it was a rag on the side.
"It's all right, Alsace...... Your Highness, I'm just happy," Lulu couldn't help but smile when she saw Arthas's panicked appearance, and then reached out to wipe away her tears, "I didn't expect it to be really useful." ”
"After all, it was Kaizi and I who discussed it together for a long time before deciding on the method," Arthas also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said proudly, "Hmph, as soon as Prince Ben makes a move, he knows if there is one." ”
"Yes, yes," Esni's voice came from outside the curtain, "I just don't know if I will be beaten by His Highness if I said this to His Highness yesterday?" ”
"Poof...... Hehehehehehe. ”
Lulu burst out laughing, and Arthas gave a fake glare outside, and then laughed aloud.
"All in all," said Arthas, after laughing, "now that the sense of taste has been restored, it proves that Kaiko and I are right in our hypothesis, the Ono from the Sunwell is 'digesting' your body, so for the sake of Lulu's health, we can only take Lulu away from the Sunwell...... So...... I'm afraid Lulu won't be able to return to Quel'Thalas for a while. ”
"Well, it's a pity that I can't go back...... If I say that, will Your Highness feel better? ”
Looking at Lulu smiling slyly, Arthas suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about the girl in front of him.
"Just call me Arthas," Arthas said, looking at the other man's flickering gaze, "I don't think we need honorifics, right?" ”
"Well, Arthas," Lulu nodded, a pure smile, "I finally, see you again." ”
"That's right," Arthas took the other's outstretched hands, put them in the palm of his hand and rubbed them gently, "Aren't we together every day?" ”
"But I feel as if we've been separated for a long time," Lulu blushed, but still said the fleshy words, "though it may just be a dream...... But, Arthas, would you like to hear me tell you about this dream? ”
"I'm curious," Alsace nodded at Lulu's expectant look, "Please tell me." ”
"Hmm......" Lulu nodded, "While unconscious, I dreamed that I was in a city. ”
It wasn't any known city, at least, definitely not the city of Azeroth. The city had a huge circular dome, the technology of its construction was more advanced than ever, and it was full of exquisite reliefs and precious stones, and at a glance, you can see that it once had prosperity.
However, it is only the prosperity of the past.
Beyond the light-illuminated dome, just a bridge away, the smell of death and destruction was everywhere, orc-like war machines were everywhere, broken weapons and broken armor were everywhere. The smoke of gunfire covered the sky and could not be dispersed for a long time, and the ears were filled with the cries of the survivors who had lost their loved ones, and the grief and despair that had ruled this once glorious city.
Crossing the bridge filled with wreckage and corpses, Lulu came to the Dome of Light, where countless blue-skinned humanoids were surrounding a giant light source, praying silently, as if begging for a miracle.
"They're coming!"
Someone shouted, and panic spread through everyone, and almost instantly, countless pairs of eyes were focused on the outside of the Dome of Light. There, a huge battleship descended from the sky, and countless huge demons left the cabin, armed with huge weapons, and began to attack the dome. The humanoid creatures wield the power of the Light to fight the demons, but they were outnumbered and their strength was too weak, so the demons were about to destroy the city once and for all.
"Praise the Light!"
Reinforcements have arrived, they are an expeditionary force that has crossed the Dark Gate, and Lulu can recognize Archmage Khadgar, Paladin Tulayan, and Ranger Aurelia. Behind them were the warriors of the Sons of Lothar.
However, even though these reinforcements are strong, they can't resist the endless demon legions. As time passes, the last strongholds of the Dome of Light will be lost, and the flames of evil will soon reduce the last of the city's lands to ashes.
"Then, the Light descended," Lulu said, "and a gigantic being with the power of the Light suddenly appeared, repelling all the demons, destroying the massive warships, and reshaping the Dome of Light. The dead were resurrected in an instant, the weary were instantly restored, and then, together with the humanoids, the expeditionary force fought off the remaining demons...... This is the end of the dream. ”
"I see......"
"That, Arthas?" Looking at Arthas's expression, Lulu asked carefully, "This dream, it's really weird, isn't it?" ”
"I guess Lulu is too worried about the expeditionary force," Arthas thought for a moment, reaching out and touching Lulu's hair, "Don't think about this dream, rest well, and in a few days, I still have to meet my father." ”
"yes, okay."
Without any argument or questioning, Lulu nodded obediently, and then curled up in front of Arthas, and in a short time, the sound of small breathing came out, and the weak girl was already quickly falling asleep.
Gently pulling the quilt for the girl, Arthas turned and left the carriage, and sat down in Mite's place, lost in thought.
What Lulu saw was not a dream.
The blue humanoid creature should be the Draenei in his memory, although Arthas has not dealt with these creatures much, but among the silver champions killed on the Ice Throne, there are really a complete variety and rich styles, so that Arthas will not be unaware of this creature that will arrive in Azeroth in the future.
That Dome of Light, judging from the memories that came from Naozu, was obviously Shattrath, the City of Light. The Draenei are one of the main cities of Draenor, but at this time, most of them should have been destroyed by the orcs, and those under the Dome of Light should be the only remaining Draenei. Judging from the fact that both sides are hostile to the orcs, it is not impossible to meet and fight alongside the sons of Lothar.
So, the so-called victory of the expeditionary force, the truth is this?
Looking at the people celebrating the victory that walked by from time to time on both sides of the road, Arthas shook his head.
"Lulu's dreams can't be revealed, otherwise Lulu will definitely be ......," Arthas thought to himself, "and if it's only Tulayan, Admiral Prodmore and Anduin Lothar, are they all killed?" Without Anduin Lothar's oppression, will the League survive? ”
These are questions that Alsace could not answer.
"Well, this is the time for Lord Rune to appear."
As Arthas frowned and pondered, Lune slammed onto Asney's shoulder. With a splash of Arcanon powder, Lun floated into the air, then reached out and gave Arthas a hand knife.
"Hey, it hurts." Arthas woke up, "Why did you hit someone all of a sudden?" ”
"Because your expression is so ugly, Lord Esney has been staring at you for a long time, not Luen!"
Waving her arms up and down, Lune accuses someone of competing for favor. And Arthas had already ignored the little doll at this time, and instead said to her master: "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now. ”
"I'm used to this situation of Your Highness," Esney stared at Arthas for a long time with an expressionless face, and then looked away, "Anyway, Your Highness is thinking about something that only you know, but before that, we are almost in the capital, so please pay attention to your dress." ”
"Thanks for reminding ......"
Arthas lowered his head and checked his clothes, and then remembered that as the heir, if he really went out on a formal occasion, he would definitely change his clothes. When he looked up at Esni again, although Arthas felt that the other party's side face was as attractive as ever, he didn't know why, but he always felt that the corners of his mouth would give people a sense of guilt that he couldn't get rid of.
“…… Well, Esney, I have a question, why don't you help me with it. ”
So Arthas spoke.
"Very willingly."
Esni, who was still expressionless, spoke a few percent faster than usual.
As for Luen, who had been watching from the sidelines at the beginning, he spread out his hands and shook his head like a helpless elder.
On the distant horizon, the walls of the capital city of Lordaeron have already shown their majestic figure in the morning sun.
At the same moment, Lulu in the carriage also opened her eyes.
Her eyes shone with a starry light that was very different from that of the Arcane.
It's just that even Lulu herself doesn't know about this picture.
