48 Missing Chess Pieces

"Ferdin...... Uncle," Thea stammered, not knowing what to say. She wanted to say that she was a forsaken, and that she was grateful that humanity hadn't shouted at her. She didn't dare or think she could return to the human world. And, even though Uncle Ferding said this, what would the rest of the people think about it?

Fordin's hand was steady and warm, and his voice was kind and kind. "I know what you're worried about. I have a way around it. As he spoke, Furding took out a talisman from his pocket, "This is a magic talisman made by a friend of mine, wear it, you will temporarily become human, however, this talisman can only be used once, once it fails, you must make a new one." I know it's going to make you a little aggrieved, but I want them to accept you as a person first, and not to preconceive your race. Thea, I believe in you. But can you trust your uncle? ”

Fording held out his hand, and the golden talisman shone.

Thea took the talisman with both hands, and the talisman still carried the warmth of Ferdin's palm, and it warmed her heart. Tears couldn't stop falling from Xia's eyes, this was the first time since she was resurrected that she wept because of the warmth, so turbulent. She covered her eyes with her hands, she felt that she was very bad, knowing that this would cause trouble to Uncle Fordin, but she still selfishly wanted to return to the crowd.

"Uh-huh......" She was so bad, she thought as she nodded.

Furding looked at Thea, who bowed her head and wept, and gently rubbed the top of her hair with her palm, inexplicably feeling as kind as having an extra daughter.

……

"What do you say? Nathanos lost contact in the Plaguelands? How many days? Why only report now! A bunch of garbage!! "In the Undercity, in the Queen's study, Sylvanas was in a rare rage.

The Chief of the Intelligence Division, who was kneeling below, didn't dare to raise his head and shrunk into a ball, "Your Excellency's last magical coordinates show that he is on the border between Lake Lordamere and the Plaguelands, and then he lost contact. Already...... It's been three days. ”

"Three days? You didn't report it in the first place, you are so bold! The Commissioner's words clearly provoked the Queen's anger even more.

Merishara on the side hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded her. "It's not the first time that the magic coordinates have lost contact with each other, maybe it's just an accident. We don't have a base in the Plaguelands right now, so it's understandable that we don't get any feedback right now. Lord Nathanos is of great strength, and he must be safe. ”

"He's just too confident...... "The queen pounded the table hatefully, and sat down tiredly." They told him to take regular soldiers to the plague lands. However, he wanted to mercenary in the name of a private person. Alas...... I know that he is trying to save every part of our combat power, after all, our new forces are too few, too few, and every soldier is a very precious resource. ”

However, there is another reason, the queen did not say, but Merishara knew it as the queen's confidant.

Although the Dreadlord Varimatas has made it clear to the Queen that he has a reliable informant in the Scarlet Crusade. But the queen would never have allowed Varimathas to get out of the Undercity. Because although the queen relied on the fighting power of Varimathas, she was not worried that this beast would leave her sight.

As the henchman of the queen's henchman, Nathanos certainly understands this, so he will never let the people who mix with Varimatas in his entourage hire foreign mercenaries, which can not only save his own troops, but also prevent the interference and infiltration of Varimas, and he can also be used as cannon fodder without hesitation when it is critical, which is indeed a good choice.

Seeing that the queen was lost in thought, Merishara gently waved her hand to the Chief of Intelligence, signaling that he could get out.

As soon as the Chief of Intelligence stood up, he was stopped by the Queen. "Wait!" The queen looked up, a sneer on her lips. "Go, tell Simon the news."

"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty! "The Chief of Intelligence was puzzled, what does this news have to do with Lord Simon, I haven't heard that Lord Simon and Lord Nathanos have any friendship. However, this was the Queen's will, and he just had to do it.

After the Chief of Intelligence left, Merisara bit her lip slightly. "Your Majesty......"

"You'd love to use that as an excuse to go to Simon?" The queen knew very well what Merishara was thinking. "Don't be stupid. I have to say, North is really thoughtful. Do you think that if something happens to North, who will benefit the most? ”

"Do you even need to think about it? Yes, of course...... That," Merisara replied without thinking.

"You know, I know, North himself knows. So he's always on guard against that. If Norse is gone, we'll have to find someone else to contain him. Who would be the best fit? ”

"You mean—Simon?" Merisara said in surprise.

The queen sneered. "Yes, it's Simon. You and I both know that the relationship between Simon and us is no better than that of Valimas, and we didn't have anything to control Simon before. So North created a good opportunity to take the woman with him. If, Varimasas did something to them, if the woman couldn't come back, who do you think Simon would settle the account on? ”

Hearing this, Merisala's eyes lit up with hope—she sincerely hoped that the woman would never return.

The queen looked at her maid and sighed silently in her heart. Because of his status in life, Sylvanas is indeed very fond of the High Elves who have been transformed into the Forsaken, but will never tolerate their emotional behavior. Should she also let Merissa go outside the Dark City to experience it, and polish her overly exposed feelings? There are not many people who can use her with confidence and ability.

Warimas...... Simon ...... It's all Sylvanas's chess pieces that don't need to be a pity, but they are even more uneasy to use.

She wondered how Simon would react when he heard the news. "Dear Blighter, you've really saved me a good move......

Mick returns to Simon's secret alchemy room, ready to report to him the bad news he has just received from the Intelligence Service.

The secret alchemy room was empty, and Mick expertly walked to the end of the room, opening a small secret compartment with a microphone sticking out of it, not knowing where it led underground.

"Mentor Simon ......" Mick struggled to calm his emotions, put his mouth on the microphone, and whispered a few times.

"......" There was a dull sound from the microphone, and then came Simon's voice, low and dark, suddenly different from his usual voice. What's up...... Mick, I remember telling you last time that you shouldn't bother me if you have nothing to do. ”

"Yes, Mentor, but the Intelligence Service just came to inform you that North is missing...... Miss Shia must have disappeared at the same time! ”

"She's fine! Okay, go about your business. To Mick's surprise, Simon didn't have the anxiety and anger he had imagined, he just calmly interrupted her, and there was no more sound. Mick bowed and retreated, wondering, how did Mentor Simon know?
