Chapter 70: Blood Elves
In the middle of the night, Unas sat up in the cave that Stone Mei had set up for him, the alcohol almost made him forget his original intention of staying here for the night, but the loud snoring of the dwarves made it impossible for him to sleep, and it was time to complete his goal.
He put on a black cloak and left the dwarven gathering area with a soft voice, and made his way to the mourning hall of Holia.
There were two soldiers on the night watch outside the hut on the hill, and Unas waited in the dark for a while, waiting until it was time for the shift before the two soldiers got up and left.
Unas took the opportunity to sneak into the hut, and the alternate vigil should still have some time to arrive, and he was going to use this gap to try to resurrect Holia.
You can't leave a name for doing good deeds, but you have to do it like a thief and sneak around, things in the world are sometimes so ridiculous.
A few candles in the hut provided a dim light, and Unas gently lifted the black cloth covering Horia's body, revealing the paladin's blue corpse.
He wasted no time and immediately began to cast spells, and as his level increased, his energy points increased and "redemption" no longer posed a burden on his spirit.
The golden light rolled over Horia's body, and the skin exposed by the corpse gradually became soft and vibrant, as if the next moment it would open its eyes and wake up.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly there was a flash of golden light, and the light on Horia's body disappeared, and the long spell casting was finally over.
Unas reached out to probe the paladin's pulse, but there was no movement, and then he touched his heart, but there was still no response, and the resurrection failed for the first time.
Horia's body was well recovered, like a man asleep, but his soul was not pulled back, and it is possible that he had dissipated or gone to another world after being dead for so long.
It seems that the disadvantages of the resurrection technique mentioned by Purhardt also apply to him, but it is ridiculous that Unas is still a little inflated, feeling that he should be superior to Uther because he has his back to the god of the system.
"What are you doing here?!" An interrogative cry suddenly sounded behind him, interrupting Unas's self-pity.
The people on duty came back so soon? He turned his head and met a pair of blue eyes, and the person who came was a strange female High Elf, who should be dressed as a ranger.
"Condolences to my colleagues." Unas had already figured out what to do if he was broken.
"So late? What did you do to his corpse? The ranger's eyes were very sharp, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the change in Horia's corpse.
Unas lies then came: "Just a spell to soothe the souls of the dead and give my friend a more dignified rest." ”
"Friends? Do you humans call people who have only met once friends friends? The elf looked skeptical, "I've never heard Horia mention that you're a good friend of his. ”
It turned out that this elf was so familiar with Horia that he felt that his lie was about to be exposed, so Unas hurriedly changed the topic: "You know me?" ”
"Of course, I've heard several different versions of the story of the famous Saint and Demon Slayer recently, and someone identified it to me when you arrived this afternoon." That being said, there was no emotion of adoration in her tone.
It turns out that he is so eye-catching now, and Unas realizes that he must be more cautious in the future.
"Miss Elf is...?"
"I'm Ranger Captain Pereira Swiftbolt, and I'm in charge of the blood elves in this camp."
She claimed to be a Blood Elf, so she was supposed to follow Prince Kael'thas to Lordaeron to participate in the Alliance's war, but for some reason she didn't follow Kael'thas to the Outlands.
After the ranger stepped forward to inspect Horia's body, he looked up in shock: "The injuries on his body have all healed, I never knew that the paladin's spell could also heal corpses?" ”
"I am the Holy Favorite, and this is a new spell given to me by the Light." Unas rambled nonsense.
This almost scoundrel reason is not convincing, Pereira's female instinct feels that Unas is lying, but she can't find any evidence, and Unas really has no actions and reasons to harm Horia's corpse.
But what is the Ranger Captain of the Blood Elves doing here in the middle of the night? Unas had a question in his heart and asked directly: "Is Miss Pereira also here to mourn Horia?" ”
"No, I'm just here for a night patrol, so I'll take a look."
"That's a coincidence, I can't sleep and come to see, it seems that we are very fateful."
Pereira snorted and didn't reply, Unas couldn't find the words to say, and the hut fell silent for a moment.
The two of them were relatively speechless, Pereira had doubts and didn't want to leave, Unas failed in resurrection, there was no point in staying here, he yawned, picked up the black cloth and re-covered Horia's body, and then waved his hand to the female elf: "I'm suddenly so sleepy, go back to sleep, bye." ”
This contradicts what he just said that he can't sleep, but if he stays any longer, his embarrassment will be committed, and he can only force people to walk.
As for what the female elf thinks, he can't control it, he doesn't do bad things, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, not to mention that he is here to do a great good deed to save people's lives and create a seventh-level floating slaughter.
Pereira waited for him to leave, and then carefully examined Horia's body again, still finding no harmful anomalies.
"Am I wrong to blame him?" The Ranger pursed her lips and muttered to herself, the deep darkness outside the door lingering like her doubts.
……
It was gray, and Unas left the Spider Canyon with two dark circles under his eyes, the dwarf had been snoring so loudly last night that he hadn't slept since he returned to the cave.
As soon as the morning dawned, he left a note for Shi Mei, who was still asleep, and couldn't wait to return to the monastery.
The monastery was full of spirits and morale, and the victory in the Eastern Plaguelands completely overshadowed the bad news of the Poison Spider Canyon, and Unus returned to Gordon's hut listlessly.
Gordon was naturally not there, and when the two broke up yesterday, he said that he would move to the church area to practice behind closed doors, and this room was temporarily given to Unas to live in.
Finally getting some peace, Unas turned his head to make up for sleep, but a quick knock on the door immediately brought him back from the edge of his dream.
Reluctantly opening the door, Erigor's familiar face appeared in front of him, and his voice was very excited: "Brother Unas, you are finally back!" ”
This guy's enthusiasm as always, which made Unas uncomfortable, but he had seen this faint face on the training ground, and said with a wry smile: "Where can I go if I don't come back?" ”
"How's Spider Canyon? You seem to be interested there, and yesterday Gordon came back and said you went there, what is it about the canyon that appeals to you so much? Erigor gave a look on a man's familiar look, "You don't seem to have slept well last night, I heard you got very close to a little girl from the Night Elves?" ”
"I'm just going to catch up with my old friends," Unas leaned sideways to let the Devil Instructor into the house, "As for not sleeping well, I spent last night surrounded by dwarves, and I disappointed you." ”
Erigor really showed an uninteresting expression: "That's really choking." ”
"Have you heard about Horia?" Unas remembered the poor garrison.
"Of course, the news we received yesterday at noon, unlucky fellow, he is already the third paladin we have lost in the canyon," Errigor's tone turned low, "I don't know who the next unlucky guy to be sent to be sent." ”
"What if it's you?"
"If it's me? I'm not stupid enough to take only a few people deep into the Spider Canyon late at night, which is self-defeating. ”
"Don't talk about that," Erigor said, "I came to you in such a hurry to tell you good news. ”
"Good news? About me? Unas suddenly looked forward to it.
Erigor didn't lose his appetite: "Lord Tairossos has decided to nominate you for the sanctification ceremony in a week's time. ”
