Viscount Knights departed, and as he left Locke's office hall, he even stayed outside to have a humble chat with Grand Prosecutor Whitemayne.

Locke watched the nobleman, who was full of intrigue and intrigue, leave.

To be honest, Locke didn't like to talk to nobles. He wasn't an orthodox aristocrat at heart, so it was hard for him to agree with what other nobles took for granted.

Marriage is a win-win for the aristocracy. So many times, even if the nobles have no children, they will find one from their side branch and share the benefits with their goals.

But who made Locke not an aristocrat in the traditional sense?

"Why didn't you promise him?"

Just as Locke was looking at Whitemane outside the door, Noris's voice came from the corner behind him.

Locke turned to see Norris sitting comfortably in his place. She sat casually on her thick cotton chair, holding her cup of tea in both hands. With his legs crossed, one leg swaying back and forth consciously.

Instead of wearing the traditional Crusader uniform, she wore a full set of green leather armor that she had brought with her from Quel'Thalas.

"You know, he just wants an attitude from you. It's not like I'm going to marry you," Nollis looked at Locke with a smirk, the corners of her mouth crooked, "Isn't this commonplace for nobles?" ”

"Oh, that put you down. I'm not a traditional aristocrat. Locke turned to look outside at Whitemane again, then turned back and walked back into the house.

"Look," Nollis said in a nonchalant tone, holding the teacup in her hand, "you see this cup of tea, only by holding it in the palm of your hand, you will know whether it is hot or not." ”

"Don't bother."

Smelling the fragrance of Noris, Locke pulled back the chair next to her and sat down beside her. He picked up the loose blonde hair on Noris's left and right shoulders with his hands and whispered, "I can drink whenever I want." ”

"So what? Do you want to drink it in the end?" Norris blew lightly into the glass, blowing away the steam that had filled the glass.

"No, drinking the tea in it will attract the attention of the other people in this room, who are bound to find a way to deal with me, which is not a good thing for me. Opposite! Locke leaned in on Noris, grabbing Noris's teacup hands over them.

"All I need is the hands that hold the cup, or rather, I am the master of the hands. Well, it's not really any different from whether I drink this cup of tea or not, does it? ”

"Humph! Don't touch me with you touching another woman's hand! With a look of disgust, Norris pushed Locke's hand out of her own.

“......”

In this regard, Locke was embarrassed, but the matter had come to this, and Locke cheekily grabbed her hand and did not lose it.

Norris was angry, and he was out running around for his cause while he was by the warm fireplace, hugging other women and kissing me.

It's really unbearable, it's unbearable!

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and the angry Norris put down the teacup in her left hand, pulled up Locke's hand covering her right hand and bit it down hard!

Although, Norris has lived for many years. On the surface, Bilock's age is much too much, but in fact, her age is just a young girl elf who has not been an adult for a long time for the elf clan.

For a girl who has just become an adult, it is normal to talk to me with her partner. What girl wants to live in such a sweet pink life all day long, but what if there are other women who share this life of their own? What's even more infuriating is that there is more than one!

Girly Norris is angry at Locke's flower! But my feelings for him at the beginning seemed to be my first offense! This makes him unable to put on that condescending attitude when facing his other women.

After all, he is only a third party.

At first, I just looked at him a little pleasing to the eye, so I indulged the curiosity about him in my heart. In fact, she was also a little excited at that time. Whether she admitted it or not, she wanted to see how far this curiosity could go.

It's just that she didn't expect the result to develop like this! I will fall into his deep eyes!!

Alas......

But let him do whatever he wanted in front of him like this, Norris felt too unwilling!

So, she can only vent the depression accumulated in her heart in this way.......

The excited Norris in front of him made Locke laugh, and he patted her on the back with his left hand, "Don't worry, you wait." ”

Norris tilted her head and squinted at him with murderous eyes. However, her teeth were biting at the deerskin gloves that Locke had not yet taken off on his hands......

Locke laboriously removed his gloves from Noris's mouth and held his rough hand in front of her. But the latter was still in a daze with the deerskin glove in his mouth.

"No, come on"

Locke sent his hand forward.

Locke's action made Noris's eyes instantly red, so she pushed Locke's outstretched arm away and pounded Locke's chest through gritted teeth.

As he scolded, he cursed in Quel'Salas, tears streaming silently from his eyes.

"You shameless fellow! Vile! Dirty! You don't have humanity! No! You're not human! You are ......"

Locke already had a way to deal with this situation.

What to do?

Just be thick-skinned enough!

He hugged Norris tightly in his arms.

Nooris in your arms is like a little leopard, and you want to struggle to continue beating Locke's chest. However, her power is obviously not as great as that of Locke.

After some struggle, she had no choice but to give up.

So, she could only gasp and sulk in Locke's arms, but soon, she slowly put her arms around Locke's waist.

During this time, Locke didn't say a word, and there was no need to say anything.

Apologizing is pointless, and there is no way to undo what has happened. Saying such things will not help the current situation except to make yourself guilty and make her more angry.

What's more, none of them can give up, and he can't give up! It's better to stay silent than to say something that no one believes.

Anyway, a woman's anger comes and goes quickly.

Coax, it'll be fine.

For a long time, no one spoke.

In the empty room, only the panting sound of Nollis was heard. Locke just gently patted her back with his own hand, burying his head in her scattered blonde hair.

"How are your people? How well are their addictions controlled? ”

As Noris's mood slowly stabilized, Locke asked softly and broke the silence in the room.

"What else?" Norris sobbed, and she said through her nose, "All I can help them with is to lock them up when their addiction is about to kick in." Isolate anything that might come into contact with magic. ”

"Is that okay? Will they? Locke asked with some concern, "Addiction ......"

According to Locke's observation of the elven rangers from Quel'Thalas, the symptoms of their addiction are the same as those of the afterlife. It's more from mental torture.

Anyway, in later generations, they were the Holy Light in place of their reliance on arcane magic, and now, oh, the Holy Light is only circulating on a large scale among humans. Although, a small number of their priests in the elves will also perceive the Holy Light, but they call the Holy Light the gift of the sun or something.

"When we blood elves were children, we absorbed magical energy from our mother's juice, it was our innate instinct, and it was magic that raised us."

"As a human, Locke can't comprehend the desperation of our blood elves after the destruction of the Sunwell. What kind of disaster is that..."Norris snuggled into Locke's arms, her tone a little sad, "As blood elves, if they can't restrain their addiction, then the addiction will turn into a demon in their hearts, and it will become a nightmare that they can't cure forever." They will become mindless, controlled by demons and desires. They will recklessly absorb other people's mana, even their lives. ”

"So, I can't help it. That's how I used to come out of the torment of demonic addiction, which required tenacity of willpower, and so did they. It's also a kind of training for them. ”

As she spoke, Norris got up from Locke's arms, and she looked at Locke solemnly, "But, you, and the other races! You have no right to accuse my fellow citizens of suffering more than you think! ”

Well, no. But I don't blame them for this, I can only say that the blood elves are like this.

"Well, let's get down to business."

Locke quickly diverted the topic, which was no longer suitable for discussion.

"Okay, it's all over."

Locke looked with concern at the elf girl in his arms, who took out a handkerchief from his leather armor and wiped his eyes and nose.

When the elf girl was emotionally stable, Locke asked the core question in his heart.

"Did you find someone?"

"We've mobilized all our forces, and from what we know, people should be in the Tirisfal Glades, or in the area under our control."

Norris pushed aside the other small objects on Locke's desk, revealing a smaller map of Lordaeron at the bottom of the table.

"There's no way she's going through the ruins of the Alterac Kingdom to make it to Southsea Town, we all know what's there, so the rumors of her going to the Stormwind Kingdom can't be trusted and can be ruled out."

"And then, the news from the Undercity—" Norris glanced up at Locke and saw that he was looking at the map and not asking the Undercity agents about it, so she continued, "There is no news about her, which proves that she did not die in the Scourge. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that she died, did not become an undead, or rather, became an unconscious undead. Personally, though, I don't think so, because once her identity is confirmed, if she's caught by a scourge or the Forsaken. They are all happy to turn her into an undead and announce the whole of Lordaeron as a demoralizer to demoralize us. ”

"However, neither the undead nor the Scourge did this, so I said that rumors of her death could be ruled out."

"Our spies are in the ruins of Ambermere and Dalaran, and we haven't heard anything about her."

"Given her human status, she also doesn't have any power, so she can only survive in human villages and towns. So our inference is that she should still be alive, but hidden. Norris pointed to the few human settlements on the map, "Iva and the surrounding towns, the town of Gadar in the Tirisfarda glades, the Undead Fortress, and so on. These places are home to more than 80% of the population in our controlled areas, and it is possible for her to hide in the crowd, and as long as she doesn't say anything, no one will easily find her. ”

"So," Nollis looked up at Locke with some incomprehension, "it's only a matter of time before she is found." ”
