Chapter 33: Gianna
Seeing someone approaching his location, Garrick immediately struggled to get to his feet.
But the severe pain made him unable to maintain his balance at all, and after several attempts, he finally sat back helplessly, and said in a bitter tone: "Okay, I think I am now half disabled, according to the lady who examined my wounds, I will not be able to fight or engage in heavy physical labor for at least half a month, and if the curse cannot be completely purified, then what awaits me will be amputation." ”
"Amputation?is it so serious?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.
Although he had expected that the black arrows shot by the Forsaken's elite would be anything but ordinary, he never expected them to be serious enough to amputate their limbs.
You must know that this is the magical kingdom of Dalaran, and if even the mages of the Kenrito Council can't do anything, then the progress of the Forsaken's research on curses is a little too terrifying.
"It's just possible, depending on how well we recover in the next week or so. In addition, she recommended a powerful dispel potion against curses, but a small bottle costs seventy silver coins, so where can I afford it. Garrick sighed and explained.
As a young peasant and militiaman in a small country town, the most he had seen in his life were dirty copper plates, and only a few silver coins were paid for his salary.
As for the gold Lordaeron coin with the portrait of Terenus Minahir II, he had never seen it in his life.
"Hahahaha! Relax, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. Here, I have some money here, you can take it and heal the wound first. ”
Knowing that the other party's curse was not a technical problem, but a lack of money, Zhang Cheng laughed and took out a few gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the other party's hand.
He had only recently received Risson's inheritance, and the gold and silver coins alone filled a leather pocket, which was enough to fill hundreds, so he was not short of money at all, at least when he was in Azeroth, and he didn't need to worry about money for the time being.
"No!no!no!no!How can this work!" Feeling the cold touch in his palm, Garrick pushed the gold coin back with a flushed face.
Maybe it's because of his self-esteem, or maybe it's embarrassing, but in short, this young man in his twenties seems to be psychologically resistant to accepting gifts from others.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, just take it for you. Remember, heal as soon as possible, and it may not be long before we return to town and solve the plague. Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, forced the money into the other party's pocket, and then turned around and left the "Hero's Home" hotel.
He is also very young, and understands that people in their teens and twenties often make stupid mistakes, and sometimes even value dignity more than life, and only begin to regret it when it really causes irreparable consequences......
Standing on the slightly empty street of Dalaran, Zhang Cheng had an extra staff inlaid with fiery red crystals in his hand at some point.
This is undoubtedly the "Merchant's Ambition" quest reward, which is derived from the famous flint staff of the game's Death Mines dungeon.
But what he didn't understand was how this thing was delivered to him, and why he didn't notice it at all.
Just as he looked down and thought about whether he had missed any details, a portal suddenly appeared in front of him, and in less than a second, an irresistible suction force dragged him in.
Dark, starlight, colorful swirls, and before he could figure out what was happening, the whole person appeared in the center of the round table with six chairs.
Four of the six chairs were empty, and only two chairs were occupied, one of them was the archmage Ansrem Ruinwivol, and the other was a beautiful woman with long blond hair.
Although he looks very young, his whole body exudes surging magic, as if he is completely integrated with the water element, and with a pair of eyes full of wisdom, I believe that no matter where he goes, he will be the focus of attention of others.
"Uh...... Your Excellency Archmage, is there anything important that you summoned me so soon?" Zhang Cheng pretended to be innocent and cautiously probed.
Ansrem Ruinwivol glanced at the woman sitting across from him and nodded slightly, "Yes, I need you to explain your thoughts on the Forsaken's research on the new magical plague, so that some people with illusions can understand that there is no such thing as peace between us and the Horde, at least they have no intention of living peacefully with us. ”
"Young mage, please don't pay attention to Ruinvivor's words, just tell what you know. I have always believed that orcs are not monsters, and that they have the same right to live in this world as we do. The woman suddenly interjected.
"Who are you?" Zhang Cheng turned sideways at the other party with a puzzled expression.
"Gianna, Gianna Proudmoore. The woman smiled and gave her name.
Rumble!
Zhang Cheng's head seemed to have been smashed by a hammer.
He never dreamed that he had seen Azeroth, the savior of the human world, so soon, known as the most outstanding magical genius in centuries, the ex-girlfriend of the Lich King Arthas, and the heroine who indulged the blood elf prince Kael'thas Sunstrider, Gianna Prodmoor.
For a moment, he forgot what to say, and the whole person froze in place.
However, Gianna seemed to have long been accustomed to similar situations, and crossed her chin with her hands on her chin, and teased in a slightly playful tone: "Why, have you forgotten how to speak the lingua franca? It doesn't matter, you can speak the High Elves' Darnassus, you know, I am fluent in nine languages." ”
"Hehe, you're really joking, I'm just a little surprised that Jin actually showed up in Dalaran. Zhang Cheng, who came back to his senses, hurriedly smiled and saluted.
"No way, in order to keep the fragile peace between the Horde and the Alliance, I have to travel back and forth between the eastern and western continents frequently. Gianna shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and then her face suddenly became serious. "By the way, I've heard that you've discovered that the Forsaken are experimenting with a new plague with living people, is that true?"
"It's true! I even brought back a sample. Based in Tarummir, they are constantly raiding farms in the surrounding area, and even trying to cut them off from the outside world. If you're not convinced, check it out for yourself. Zhang Cheng replied in the affirmative without thinking.
"Damn!how could this be?, how could Thrall allow such a thing to happen!" Gianna slammed to her feet and slammed her fist on the table.
"Dear Lady Proudmoore, with all due respect, Grand Chief Thrall may not have known about the study of the new plague, and even if he did, he would not be able to restrain the actions of the Forsaken. In fact, you've never really learned about the tribe......"
