35 ["One year later"]
For the elder Langton, who had served the Rivendell father and son for decades, what had happened in those ten days was like the sky had fallen.
First of all, the master was restrained as soon as he returned home, and then he actually cast a spell that made Young Master Oryx fall into a coma. According to the mages of Dalaran, the young master's soul was taken away, and his life and death are still uncertain.
Holy light is above, how could the lord do such a thing?
Others don't know, but Langton knows.
In East Lordaeron, outsiders only regard the Rivendell family as the landlord, and for many years, the lord has tried to change this situation and win fame and glory for the family. Otherwise, during the second war more than ten years ago, he would not have scattered his family wealth to fund the military, and even went into battle to fight the orcs in person.
Now that the young master has joined the Knights of the Silver Hand, many halos have been added, and when the young master takes over the banner of the family, the rise of the family is inevitable, and it is the flesh of the master's heart.
But now that this kind of thing is happening, how can old Langton believe it? Those Dalaran mages also said that the lord's sins were unforgivable. He surrendered to an evil being in the northern continent, intending to use his family's assets to set off a terrible plague in the Stratholme region that could infect the living and die, and resurrect the dead to the undead......
Old Langton still finds it hard to believe.
"It's done."
In the kitchen, under the watchful eyes of the mages of Dalaran, the chef placed plates of food on trays. A few mages came over to make sure that there was no poison in the food, and then asked Langton to lead a dozen servants to carry the tray to the living room of the mansion.
It's like this these days, very strict, in order to prevent that evil being from sending people to infiltrate here and cause another incident.
Old Langton was used to it.
As for why it is so strict......
Because the mansion is now full of big people from all over the Northland! Uther, the leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand, Lightbringer; Deputy Head of Regiment Saidan Dasohan; Alexandros Mograini, Patriarch of the Order; There were also several high-ranking people in Dalaran, and even the leader of Dalaran, Lord Antonidas, had been here.
All of them came to inquire about the young master's condition, or simply participated in the treatment. These meals were given to them.
During this time, Old Langton had seen too many legendary big people, why did these adults attach so much importance to the young master, he heard a little rumor.
It seems that the young master was chosen by the Holy Light and became the spokesperson of the Supreme Divine in the mortal world, predicting a catastrophe that was about to break out on the Lordaeron Continent. Led to a concerted effort between Lordan Road, Dalaran and the Knights of the Silver Hand, they eliminated an evil organization called the "Cursed Cult" on the side of Andorhar, intercepting countless infected grains that were about to be shipped across the country, indirectly saving the lives of millions of innocent civilians.
It is said that this incident also alarmed King Terenus, and Prince Arthas also came yesterday in person, with a royal commendation order, and said that as soon as the young master woke up, he would be summoned to the royal capital to receive His Majesty's face-to-face commendation.
King's Commendation!
Langton Sr. could imagine how much credit it would have taken to indirectly defuse a catastrophe and save millions of innocent people.
But if the people are gone, what's the use?
It's not that Old Langton is pessimistic, it's really that the young master's condition is worrying. Although he doesn't understand magic and doesn't understand those magical things, he also hears some news these days because of his regular service to these big people.
Even the adults of Dalaran were helpless about the young master's condition, saying that the master was controlled by that evil existence to cast this magic and directly took away the young master's soul...... They didn't even dare to send the young master to Dalaran or other places for better treatment, for fear that they would be tired from the journey and hurt something when the connection between the soul and the body had been completely severed...... Vessel of the soul.
"My lord, the meal is ready." At the door of the living room, Langton said respectfully. After receiving the approval of one of the mages, he led the servants to put the food on the table, and then bowed to leave.
The once elaborate parlor had changed dramatically, with tables, chairs, and sofas removed, and an extra bed in front of the fireplace, on which lay an Orrix who seemed to be asleep, and a number of magical instruments were stacked next to it, many of which were supported by the High Elves. The entire room had been transformed into a healing room, protected by a protective spell that even a legendary mage like Kel'thugad would never have dared to break through.
Several priests sat on the edge of the bed, taking turns using divine spells to ensure the health of the soulless body on the bed, and no one knew how long this would last.
The mages led by Ronin whispered on the side about the operation of the spell that took Oryx's soul, in order to crack it and save Oryx, and from time to time exchanged opinions with his colleagues on Dalaran's side through long-distance communication equipment, where there was a whole classroom of scholars and apprentices working on this spell that made everyone helpless.
People were sleepy-eyed, with unkempt hair and strong coffee at hand, and it was clear that they hadn't had a good night's rest in a long time.
A blue magical mist suddenly appeared from the crystal ball on the table, and then the figure of Crassus was formed, and he asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Luo Ning glanced at Oryx on the bed, picked up the crystal ball, left the living room and went to each room, waved his hand to put down the one-way soundproofing magic, shook his head and said, "No, we tried again an hour ago, and we still can't locate his soul." ”
Crassus in the crystal ball sighed, "I've contacted some people, and they'll be there tonight and ready to meet them." ”
Luo Ning smiled bitterly: "Your clansmen? Why don't you come yourself? ”
"I'm investigating the Scourge Legion, and I can't pull away," Crassus shook his head, "and I've got a few green dragons, and they should be better at this situation than I am." ”
Green Dragon?
Luo Ning blinked, and hope finally ignited in his heart. Those defenders of the Emerald Dream Realm can indeed be regarded as a bypass, at least more proficient in the knowledge of the soul realm than outsiders.
He wasn't surprised that Crassus was able to find the Green Dragon. This guy is the consort of the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasa, and in terms of status, he is second only to the Five Guardian Dragons in the Five-Colored Dragons - of course, now the Four-Colored Dragons and the Four Guardian Dragons - and the individual older spouses of the Guardian Dragons. His connections are incomparably vast because he has been active among the mortal races for many years, and even if he finds a certain troll god Luoa, he doesn't find it unusual.
Oryx does deserve this attention.
At this moment, a certain mage suddenly shouted outside: "Master Luo Ning, Master Luo Ning!" Oryx is awake! ”
Luo Ning was startled, glanced at Crassus in the crystal ball, and hurriedly ran back to the living room, but as soon as he pushed the door open, the room was dazzling with golden light, and it was difficult to see. When the glare dissipated, he saw that the paladins and priests of the Knights of the Silver Hand had all knelt down on one knee in front of a corner of the room, and Dalaran's colleagues were also shocked.
Oryx sat on the bed, rubbing his forehead in pain, surrounded by a holy radiance that made him look like a god from below.
"How long? I mean, how long have I been in a coma? He asked softly.
"Ten days." Luo Ning replied in a daze.
Ten days...... Thinking of spending ten days in the soul cage of Naozu, Oryx discovered that the "copy" opened by the Book of Time was indeed independent of the real world. He had obviously been in it for a whole year, but to the outside world, it was only a moment.
This year's experience is really ......
It's hard to put into words.
"It's a miracle, you're obviously ......" Luo Ning looked at him in confusion, "how did you get back?" ”
Oryx moved his arms, as if he was still very uncomfortable with the feeling of his soul returning to his body, and his eyes swept over the reverent eyes of his fellow knights, and he replied softly, "It was the Holy Light that saved me." ”
