14 [Knighted as Royal Knight of Lordaeron]
Arthas is a celebrity of the Knights of the Silver Hand, not to mention anything else, just talking about the identity of Crown Prince Lordaeron is enough for everyone to look up to him, not to mention that regardless of bearing, cultivation, knowledge and appearance, he is rarely matched among his peers, and he can be said to have countless admirers - both men and women.
The prince smiled apologetically at the crowd, and said a few words of reassurance and a few words that could not be faulted, such as that I have learned of the prophecy, and that I will investigate the matter with you and stifle the potential threat.
After that, he dragged Orix into a quiet room, his expression instantly became solemn, and he said, "About the prophecy, tell me everything you know." ”
Looking at Arthas's eagerness, Oryx couldn't help but be suspicious.
This is too urgent, and it stands to reason that such a thing as Holocaust Prophecy should not have been told to Arthas, after all, the identity is too special. But not only did the prince learn about it, but he was so anxious at this time that he had a very bad premonition.
Isn't Arthas already controlled by the Lich King, and has come to kill people? Finally turn the tide and avoid Lordaeron reacting to the Scourge attack in advance?
Shouldn't you......
First, this doesn't fit the plot, and second, he feels that he has just been here for a few days, and he is just going around at home, at most he went to Dalaran, no matter how strong the butterfly effect is, it shouldn't affect such a major historical event, right?
With this in mind, although he knew that he could not defeat Arthas no matter what, he still took full precautions before he opened his mouth to explain the prophecy.
Arthas nodded his head continuously, and after listening to the faint sigh, he seemed to see his worry, but only understood the effect of worry, and said, "You don't have to worry about anything, in fact, this matter was told to me by Teacher Uther. Believe me, I am more worried than you about the negative effects of this prophecy. The orcs have been making a comeback lately, and the people have managed to settle down, and I won't spread the word about it until there is absolute evidence, and I won't tell my father...... You can rest assured of that. ”
Oryx blinked.
Well, it looks like I'm overthinking. No wonder Arthas looked dusty and tired, presumably in the name of returning to the Knights to train on a griffin as a normal horse, and did not bother the royal mage to open any portals for him, and did enough superficial things in front of his father, hiding the prophecy as much as possible.
In this way, calculating the distance between the royal capital and Stratholme, I am afraid that Uther will tell his most trusted disciple about this matter before noon today.
"By the way," Arthas said, turning his head as if remembering something, with a hint of surprise in his tone, "I've heard about your father, then...... Is it all true? ”
When Oryx heard this, he knew that the drama was coming, so he hurriedly put on a sad but strong face, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes." The Light prophesied my father's betrayal, and I ...... I cannot put my personal emotions above the country and its people. If this were true, I would redeem my father with my own hands, exercise the power given to me by the state and the people, and liquidate his sins—even if it would saddle me with a lifetime of infamy. ”
Arthas looked at him deeply, as if deeply moved, and finally patted him on the shoulder, "The teacher is right, Oryx. ”
The corners of Oryx's mouth twitched, thinking to himself if this was a resonance between "big filial sons"?
"But I will persuade the teacher that this should not be a burden on you. If your father's affairs are confirmed, let someone else ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Oryx interrupted, "No, Your Highness! If I shrink back and do not face my own honor, my so-called burden, then I am not worthy of the grace of the Light. If this is true, please let me do my part! ”
These words are sonorous and powerful, righteous and righteous, and they have the feeling that I am speaking for the Holy Light. With a resolute look, Arthas was more and more moved, and finally nodded deeply.
But in fact, Oryx is just to complete the task of the Book of Time, after all, there are dozens of time energy!
"Good. Later...... Just follow me, you shouldn't be buried. It is only when the catastrophe is approaching that true heroes emerge. ”
It's obviously a beautiful word, but when it comes out of Alsace's mouth, it sounds comfortable.
But how dare Oryx, Arthas is the focus of the Third War, and the Lich King has chosen the best vessel for himself, and is he crazy to follow him? Don't think it's long enough? Can't get into the Lich King's sight?
For an existence that possesses a majestic spiritual power comparable to that of a future version of a super biological brain calculator, any abnormal behavior will be seen, and even if the secret of the traverser will not be discovered, it is a sure thing to be judged as "special".
Oryx is persecuted with paranoia and is reluctant in every way. It's enough to change history, and the rest can still be reluctant, and it's pure head iron to rashly play any.
After thinking about it, he hurriedly refused: "No, Your Highness, it is my honor to serve you, but I am not pretending to refuse, I have no status, no reputation, just the son of a rich landlord." I fear that following you will tarnish your glory. ”
What he said is called a sincere, sincere, and full of tension, and the actor can't do it better when he comes.
The more Arthas looked at him, the more satisfied he became, twenty-three years of court life had given him an eye to detect lies, but he could not see or hear any insincerity in the man in front of him and in these words.
He is worthy of being chosen by the Light!
His tone grew softer, "What if this is not a plea, but a plea of mine?" ”
Just as Oryx was about to refuse, a wisp of yellow sand suddenly appeared in his field of vision, which happened to appear between him and Arthas. The yellow sand soon formed a curtain of light, on which lines of small words began to appear.
It seemed that he could see the yellow sand, but Arthas couldn't, and through the light curtain, he could also see the other party's sincere gaze with a thick look of hatred for each other.

Oryx wanted to cry without tears, he wanted to refuse Arthas, but the mission reward was too rich, woo woo!
"I ...... I will follow in your footsteps to the death, my Highness! He wiped away his tears, clenched his right hand into a fist and pounded it on his chest, and fell to one knee.
Alsace drew his saber in great relief, nodded it on his shoulders and on the top of his head, and said in a ceremonial tone: "Calm down, my knight, from today onwards, you will be the royal knight of Lordaeron." I will lead you to make achievements, I will give you fame and fortune, and I will ...... with you Live and die together! ”
With tears in his eyes, Oryx stood up and saluted.
I don't want to live and die with you, I just want mission rewards.
Who called us all filial sons?
