74 The Capital of the Past
When Chromie disappeared for a short time, Thea woke up.
"What's wrong with me? It seems like it's been a long time since I've fainted like this? Thea patted her somewhat drowsy head. Suddenly I remembered Simon in the Undercity. Every time I was in a coma before, I always saw him first when I woke up. When something happens once or twice, does it seem to become an inertial expectation?
Really, what was she thinking. Thea slapped herself hard again, slowly remembering what had happened before she fell unconscious.
It seems to be a little dwarf girl named Cromy...... Fell from a tree...... And then what?
She didn't remember anything about the rest of the story.
Thea looked around, the little girl seemed to be gone, and there was really a sense of mystery coming and going. But thinking of the scene of the little girl falling from the tree, Xia couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
"Yikes! What's going on, it's getting dark, it's terrible! It's all moving faster. "Thea was secretly glad that she hadn't encountered a scourge or a beast when she was unconscious. She continued to walk deeper into the woods.
Shortly after Thea left, the shadow of a large tree distorted, revealing the figure of an orc female thief.
Luo Jiali let out a long breath. It was so dangerous just now, I didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous and powerful existence here. Although Chromie hides her true identity, Luo Jiali, who has been in contact with their clan, knows her true identity very well - a noble and powerful existence. So Luo Jiali knows very well that if it weren't for the good things given by her employer, I'm afraid she would definitely be discovered, and that would be a big trouble.
It's okay, it's okay.
Luo Jiali, who has survived the crisis, touched her chin, but since she knows about this matter, what benefit can she get from this matter? This piece of information should sell for a good price.
If Seon loses his horse, how can he know if it is a blessing? Luo Jiali smiled evilly, it is better to leave the matter of betraying intelligence to the professional guys in the family to deal with, she has to deal with the task at hand first, after all, the good things given to her by her employer have helped her a lot today.
Luo Jiali hid her figure again. If someone looked closely at this time, they could see that there was a fine line of dust gently undulating and quickly heading towards Stratholme.
……
By the time Thea returned to camp without any danger, it was already dark.
"You're back." Erigor stood at the door waiting for her, "I'm so worried that something happened to you, if you don't come back, we're all going to look for you." ”
"I'm sorry......" Thea moved her lips, but finally didn't say anything about the little dwarf girl. In fact, she was a little skeptical that the little girl was her hallucination.
Seeing that Xia had a good attitude and admitted his mistakes, Erigor stopped pursuing it. If only people came back safely. Out of concern, he asked. "Okay, have you picked your herbs?"
"Got it. I'm not going to leave the team again. Head Erigor, I'm sorry. ”
Erigor waved his hand, "It's nothing, just go well." But I have a mission for you. ”
Shia looked at Erigor in bewilderment. "Command, sir!"
"If we were going to stay here a few more days. You...... I think it's fine, but I'm afraid Bruce can't. His fiery temper! My task for you is to help me watch some blues, don't let his impatience make any trouble, this is a sensitive time, if there is another conflict between the two armies, I am afraid it will be difficult to handle. ”
Shia asked him in surprise. "Why? Has the Scarlet Crusaders already answered and asked us to wait? ”
Erigor smiled bitterly, "If there is a reply, I am afraid that General Dasohan will deliberately dry us out for a few days." Hopefully it won't be delayed for too long. But I'll just tell you first, it's always good to be mentally prepared! ”
"I see." Thea nodded.
Nothing was said all night.
But what Erigor had been fearing did not happen at all.
Early in the morning, shortly after the sun had risen, the Scarlet Crusaders on the opposite side sent a reply from the general.
"General Da Sohan would like to take time out of his busy schedule to see you and your party. I came to lead the way on the orders of the general. "It's the same Scarlet Commander Malor who came to inform him yesterday with a proud face.
"That'...... It's hard work! ”
In the face of Erigor's politeness, Malor nodded as it should be. "Okay, the general is very busy, you can hurry up and come with me, there is still a long way to go to the command post, it is not good to delay the general's business."
"Hey, this kid ......," Bruce muttered patiently next to Thea, "I want to give him a hammer!" ”
"Alright, Uncle Bruce," Sia hurriedly diverted his attention for fear that Bruce's words would be heard by Malor and hurriedly diverted his attention, "Let's hurry up and pack our things, or we will live in Stratholme City today." ”
"Cut...... That kind of dead man's place......" Bruce muttered disapprovingly, but helped lift the tent's ground nails.
Soon, the group, led by Malor, successfully entered Stratholme.
Entering the legendary Stratholme for the first time, Shia is a little curious.
She had heard old Ferding say that before the plague arrived, the plague lands were the main food production base of the Eastern Kingdom, and about one-third of the Eastern Kingdom's food came from here. As the local capital, Stratholme prospered for a time with its grain trade. At that time, the population and commercial prosperity of the city were comparable to those of the royal city of Lordaeron. Because of the financial support given by the commercial prosperity, the local construction of Stratholme has been greatly developed. In particular, its walls, which employed the best craftsmen of the time and used the finest stones, are known as impenetrable iron walls.
Unfortunately, the strong walls did not protect his inhabitants. The outbreak of the plague and the prince's order to slaughter the city have made this pearl city lose all its glory.
Anything that is destroyed from the inside is often a thousand times easier than the outside.
Looking at the ancient and still strong walls, Sia thought.
The entire interior of Stratholme was a twisted and eerie dark brown, both like dried blood plasma and like traces of fire, giving it a creepy feel. Sia couldn't help but touch her arm.
Malor, who was on the side, saw Thea's small movements. "What's wrong? Already uncomfortable? He proudly said, "It's a lot cleaner now, okay?" When we first attacked, the area was full of Scourge soldiers. ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Shia's hand froze in embarrassment, and the corners of her mouth pulled into an embarrassed smile.
"Ignore him, this hellish place, I also feel panicked in my heart." Bruce on the side patted her, it was really hard for him to speak in such a low tone with such a loud voice.
Thea nodded gratefully at him.
