In the ghostly woods outside the Temple of the Sun, Carré and Jorad were discussing something, and Locke breathed quickly to hide the anger on his face as he slowly walked towards them.

"The elves don't seem to know that Darkan has returned to Quel'Thalas, and I don't see any news on their bulletin board about the Well of the Sun." Jorad touched his chin and thought about what he had just seen on the bulletin board and continued, "They didn't rally and mobilize the adventurers to go to what you said about Quelldanus Island. ”

"So, our hopes of using the elven army have been shattered?" Tyri asked casually, and then when she turned her head, she saw Locke walking by, and asked aloud, "Hey, how are you doing over there?" Is there any news out? ”

Locke shook his head, not wanting to recount what had just happened. This is not the matter at the moment, Anvina is what needs to be rescued as soon as possible. Although I know that she is not a real person, she is indeed a very relatable girl. Although the contact time was short, her kindness and simplicity did leave a deep impression on Locke, not to mention that she promised to ensure her safety. As for Lotherma, hurry up and go, who made you elves so arrogant.

It's just that Lotherma and Locke probably didn't think that the distance between them might only be a few houses.

"I think we can go!" Locke beckoned to them and said, "There's no point in stopping here anymore, let's hurry up and go to Quelldanus Island." ”

In Carré's hands, Wacker was anxiously spinning in circles.

"In order not to cause any necessary panic, Tyri, we are still avoiding the elves' eyes as before." Carré said to a reluctant Terri beside him, "It doesn't matter if we take a detour, our battle with Darkan is not something that ordinary soldiers can participate in. If the elves don't know, they don't know. ”

"Well, as you wish." Tyri walked disgruntled into the depths of the woodland.

Carré followed behind Tyri, and Jorad dragged behind with Locke. He turned to Locke and said, "I'm sorry to drag you into this ......."

"Let us be the hands of silver, and atone for our previous transgressions." Locke stopped and turned to look at him, Jorad didn't continue to speak, he wordlessly patted Locke's shoulder and walked deep into the forest.

Alas, Locke looked at Jorad's figure and shook his head helplessly.

This is true of the High Lord Mograini, so is Uther, so is Baron Tairossos, and even Abydis, Esenlien, and formerly Dassault Khan.

Everyone in the Silver Hand is haunted by what has happened in front of their eyes. I think it was their compromise that made us what we are doing. But at that time, who could stop the order of a prince of the kingdom? Moreover, the prince's order was supported by the king.

This is the sad thing about the paladins, when faith and royal power conflict, the paladins are forced to choose the royal power against their faith. If it's all right, that's fine, but if it's wrong, it's the same as now, and you'll spend your whole life trying to atone for what was before.

It was a heavy chain that wrapped tightly around the bodies of each member of the Silver Hand, constantly propelling them forward.

Shaking his head again, Locke strode after him.

Didn't he do all this to atone for the Silver Hand, for the Crusaders, for Lordaeron? Perhaps, this is fate.

"I dreamed of his mocking face!" Lotherma gritted her teeth and said to Haduron beside her, "His crimes are repeating themselves in my mind over and over again!" ”

"I have witnessed with my own eyes the evil he has done to our once-glorious Quel'Thalas......" Lotmar's eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he clenched his fists tightly, "this land that I have sworn to defend with my life, with my life!" ”

"How did all this happen?"

Because of his status, Haduron, as a latecomer, actually didn't understand what happened on Queldanas Island. It is only known that the traitor betrayed the country and betrayed all the elves.

The only people who knew what had happened were Lotherma and a few Magisters, but they were tight-lipped and only told the prince and the council what had happened.

"I used to be the chief of the guard, and my job was to protect the magus who channeled the energy of the sunwell. And they use the energy of the sunwell to connect all of our rune enchantments in Quel'Salas to protect us all. Lotherma looked at the busy guards in front of him with a gloomy expression, "Because of frequent contact, I became friends with him!" ”

"He's also one of the Magi who use the Sunwell," Lotherma's clenched fingers crackled, "Of all the mages, he's the only one who has the best relationship with me. We often go out for a drink at the end of our work. And he would ask about the work of our guards in casual casual conversation. ”

"And I ....."

"I'm like an idiot! Tell him all about the arrangement of our guards, the time of patrolling, the time of changing guards, etc.! Told everything......"

"By the time I finally found out I had been deceived by him, it was already too late...... "Lotherma looked up at the golden Yonggo Forest sky, "The Scourge has invaded us, and our rune enchantment isn't working as it normally would. It's like an eggshell, shattered in an instant. The filthy spirits of the Scourge have washed into our homes like locusts. ”

"I left the army, I panicked, I tried my best to suppress the despair in my heart, hoping that I would be able to get to the sunwell in time......" Lotherma's eyes kept flowing downward.

"The large number of undead I encountered along the way made my heart tug! This is our hinterland! Where our sunwells are! There's the Morning Striker there! "And my heart was completely cold when I watched my former subordinates, dressed in the robes of the Morning Striker, swaying towards me. ”

"I fought desperately, fought, and advanced towards the sunwell, hoping that there was still a glimmer of possibility of salvation......"

"Don't talk about friends...... Haduron tries to stop the heartbroken Lotherma, but he refuses.

"Nope! Let me finish, I've been holding these words in my heart for a long time! Precisely because of my stupidity! That's what led to all of this! "When I finally stood on the high ground outside the sunwell, what I saw was that the sunwell was emitting a huge energy fluctuation, and the intense energy made me unconscious. ”
