241 With you, it is a pit and a jump
"Don't you even ask, what kind of precious potion is this, and you drank it so eagerly? Aren't you afraid that Simon will take the opportunity to give you something else? ”
Nathanos laughed in his ears, and his tone was half-truthed and half-false. But Thea's heart "chuckled".
She quickly lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.
But there was one thing that Thea believed Nathanos was right - Simon's potion was not ordinary. As soon as she mouthed, Xia felt a warm breath flow down her throat. She could feel the abundant energy diffuse and permeate her body rapidly. The body, which was heavy from exhaustion, seemed to be much lighter all of a sudden.
As for Nathanos's second half of the sentence, which seemed to be a joke, Sia felt that, according to Simon's pride, he would never do anything in the potion. So she didn't pay attention to it at all.
Simon didn't pay attention to Nathanos's words, but thoughtfully took the empty bottle in Thea's hand and put it on the table next to him: "Feel better?" ”
"Hmm...... Thank you. Thea pursed her lips and replied truthfully.
Simon raised his hand, his fingers lightly running his fingers over her long black hair, and said with a faint smile: "Since you want to go, then go." ”
Xia blinked unexpectedly, and before she could say anything, she heard him continue: "It's just, I'll go with you." ”
Now Thea was completely surprised. "But, but ......"
She was for a long time, but she didn't know what to say.
Simon's fingers were already running down her hair, and he took her hand again. He put her slender finger to his lips and kissed it gently, and said undoubtedly, "If you insist on going, then it's decided." In your current condition, I will never let you out of my sight. ”
Shia was in a complicated mood. In the end, he nodded and accepted Simon's terms.
"Is there a lot of power, so how about adding me too?" Nathanos, who was smiling on the side, nodded and said in agreement.
Nathanos' words puzzled Thea somewhat. If it was understandable that Simon had asked to go with her, then why did Nathanos go with him? His relationship with himself is not as familiar as that of a friend of life and death, and Thea will not pretend to think that he has the same mind as Simon. And it can be found from the previous chat. He and Anvina have nothing to do with each other. Be the leader of the Forsaken. The only leader in the best form of reinforcements, he should now stay in the Silver Dawn for the Forsaken and fight for the greater good of the Horde. But at this juncture, he wants to leave everything he has behind and go with them to Quel'Salas to rescue a little girl who has nothing to do with him or the forces behind him. Not to mention that Xia couldn't figure it out, even Carré, who didn't have a keen sense of politics, felt a little weird.
"Lord Nathanos, I am grateful for your righteous deeds. However, the battle has just ended. Do you still have a lot of things to do? Our side is just a personal matter......" Carré, who felt that something unusual must be a demon, couldn't help but feel more worried, and politely declined Nathanos's proposal. Of course, it's also because Carré feels like he has added Simon. It's more than enough to deal with all the situations that come up in Quel'Thalas. And Nathanos ...... To be honest, in the eyes of the arrogant dragon clan, the combat power of mortals is really nothing.
Listened to Carré's words. Nathanos's smiling face froze for a moment. But after his eyes and a hint of mockery at Shangsaimen, Nathanos instantly adjusted his expression to flawlessness. He added with a smile: "Actually, there is something I forgot to tell you about just now. We Forsaken and the Elves of Quel'Salas are now good allies. Therefore. There are messengers of our Forsaken in several important strongholds in Quel'Thalas. Maybe they'll find something, but not necessarily. ”
Ray looked thoughtful, and Nathanos smiled again, "You know. Dealing with elves is tiring. Those guys with eyes above the top won't have a good face if they communicate with strangers. Liadline hasn't woken up yet, and without her letter of introduction, it would be inconvenient for you to walk around Quel'Thalas. As for me, I have some connections, which can be convenient for you to investigate. ”
Thea wanted to speak, but Simon gently tightened her hand. She raised her eyes to the door, but the expression on Simon's face didn't rise or fall at all, making her almost think that it was her own delusion. It's just this delay, but Carré has already made a decision.
"Then, I will thank Lord Nathanos for his kindness."
Apparently Nathanos's rhetoric moved him.
Hearing that Carré had accepted the advice of his companion, Nathanos smiled and touched his nose and added, "I can't ask for the friendship of His Excellency Carré because of this. ”
"If I can successfully rescue Anvina, I personally will never forget your friendship." Nathanos's words obviously made Carré think that his actions were to gain the friendship of him and the Blue Dragons behind him, so Karley was relieved at this moment. However, out of an abundance of caution, Carré cautiously attributed the operation to a private act between himself and Nathanos.
Listening to the politeness of the two men over there, a sneer quickly crossed Simon's eyes. But it was accurately captured by Thea, who had been paying attention to his reaction. It's just that although she is confused, it is inconvenient for her to speak now.
And with Avena's clues, Carré simply couldn't wait any longer. However, because of Chia's relationship, it is still necessary to say hello to Silver Dawn. It seemed that he didn't want to move at all, so he took the initiative to say, "Xia, I'll go and talk to Fording for you now." Hurry up and get some rest, and I'll come back here to meet you later. ”
"Then I'll go back and explain, and by the way, prepare some things necessary for the operation in Quel'Thalas." Nathanos also took his leave. "I'll see you later. I'm really looking forward to traveling with you again. ”
Sia remembered the unpleasant experience of traveling with Nathanos, and reluctantly tugged at the corners of her mouth.
The two couldn't wait to say goodbye and left in a hurry. Simon, on the other hand, had no intention of leaving. Seeing that everyone was gone, he changed directions and sat behind Thea to arrange her hair.
After a few more moments, Xia slowly spoke carefully, "Nathanos seems to have other intentions?" ”
"You?" There was a hint of joy in Simon's voice.
"I don't know much about Nathanos, but I know he's not the kind of person who would go out of his way to curry favor for the sake of Carré's identity." Xia said slowly: "If he really had the heart to please Kare, he wouldn't just come out now. Carré is not here for a day or two. And...... Nathanos, his scheming depth, is not as simple as he seems. ”
In the eyes of the arrogant dragons, the fawning of mortals is simply taken for granted. So Carre, who didn't know Nathanos, didn't think anything unusual about Nathanos' approach at all.
And the reason why Xia said this is because in her contact with Nathanos, Nathanos's scheming made a deep impression on her. If you try to do it from the surface, you will definitely be deceived by his harmless expression. When it came to Avena's safety, Xia was naturally a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but tell Simon what she was hiding in her heart. Although she doesn't love Simon, at least she can be sure that Simon and Nathanos are not the same. Nathanos may betray her at a crucial moment, but Simon won't. I don't know why, whether it's arrogant or blind, that's how Xia feels.
Sure enough, Simon said disapprovingly, "You guessed right, Nathanos didn't go to Quel'Salas for Kare. He's for another person who is important to him. So you don't have to worry about him being bad or holding us back, unless you ......"
"Unless what?" Listening to Simon's words, Xia was still nervous, and subconsciously wanted to turn his head to Simon behind him. As a result, all over his hair was held in Simon's hand, and he immediately pulled it when he turned his head.
"Don't move!" Simon scolded her softly, but his hand loosened her hair very quickly, for fear that she would hurt. "My hair is messed up again."
"I'm sorry......" Xia felt the ambiguity of Simon's move, and suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.
After obediently quieting down, Simon picked up her hair and began to comb and weave again.
"Actually, I miscalculated this time."
"Huh?" Listening to Simon's words, Xia was somewhat taken aback, but this time she obediently remained motionless, so the smile on Simon's face became more and more intense.
"I gave Nathanos a very important piece of information. Presumably led to the fact that the person he valued went to Quel'Thalas himself. And Nathanos, as the commander-in-chief, naturally has to put official affairs first. If there is no valid reason, since he is eager to follow, he will still worry about being disliked by that person afterwards. ”
Xia frowned and said, "But, what is the justification for coming with us?" ”
"Go to the doctor in a hurry." Simon understated. But he didn't tell the truth to Sia this time.
Compared to the safety of that person, the punishment after the fact is nothing. But with Nathanos's power, he couldn't find a clue about that person. And his appearance, coupled with the information he had brought out before, made Nathanos sure that he had a way to find the enemy that the person was tracking, and if he found the enemy, he would naturally be able to find her.
