Chapter 185: Alterac (4)
To Lieutenant Adras-Blackmore's surprise, this elven mage from Dalaran was unusually easy-going.
Not arrogant, not indifferent, and simply not a normal mage should have......
However, when Blackmore was young, his father, who had been a lieutenant general in the Lordaeron Army, warned him that such people were the most terrible!
After a rather pleasant conversation, they discussed a lot of things: such as the invasion of the orcs, the formation of the Alliance, and some topics between men; By the time it was getting late, Blackmore had already prepared the best rooms in the entire castle and sent them in to rest......
"He didn't mean anything!" Blackmore, who had walked out of the room, muttered.
In short, there is nothing wrong with having a good relationship with a mage as powerful as this one.
……
Carlin took a look at the cottage, it was very neatly cleaned and decorated...... In short, for a lord of such a frontier land, it was already a very polite hospitality.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling above his head, he fell into thought......
It's not that I'm worried that Blackmore will be bad for him, although he was indeed a scumbag in the history of his previous life...... But after all, his strength and identity are here, and the other party is not a fool, and there is no conflict with himself!
I just don't know about Khadgar......
With a bang, the door of the hut was pushed open.
A figure emerged from the shadows, and then sat down unceremoniously on Carlin's bed.
"I've got it, Carlin!" I saw Khadgar say triumphantly: "Next! ”
A tattered piece of cloth was thrown into Carlin's hands......
"Am I telling you to give it to me tomorrow when you leave?" Carlin asked in a low voice, in a somewhat reprimanding tone.
"There's no need to be so nervous!" Khadgar waved his hand: "No one in this castle can find my traces, don't you understand my 'invisibility technique'?" It's much better than your three-legged cat's 'stealth technique', isn't it? ”
"Shut up!" Carlin glared at the other.
"Okay......" Khadgar stuck out his tongue.
Bowing his head, Carlin began to look at Khadgar for the loot...... This tattered, blue-colored cloth has the emblem of a white wolf's head on it!
"Just like you say, Carlin!" Khadgar described, "In the butler's house, I found a green-skinned orc cub, the disgusting kind...... Then under the orc's pillow, I found the rag...... I just don't know what you want it for? ”
Carlin carefully tucked the rag into his luggage: "In Karazan's vision, I saw something; This is a very important symbol for orcs, and it will have a great effect in the future! ”
Khadgar didn't ask much, stood up and stretched: "Then I'll go back first, it won't be good if someone goes to call the illusion I left behind for dinner!" ”
As he spoke, Khadgar was about to walk towards the door......
"Boom!"
There was a sudden knock on the door that made the two mages start.
Karin hurriedly gave Khadgar a look, and Khadgar nodded, waved the staff in his hand, and disappeared into the shadows!
……
"Please come in!"
Carlin's expression regained his composure, and he wondered who was looking for him.
Could it be Blackmore, who found out he had stolen the rag...... No way, Blackmore is so likely to notice this kind of thing, even if it is gone, they should think that they have lost it!
While Carlin was thinking, he saw a little girl of seven or eight years old, a little timid, walking in.
"Talesha?" Carlin was stunned.
The little girl trembled and walked up to Karin as if she were some man-eating monster...... This is normal, those human civilian parents, usually describe wizards with their children, and it is estimated that they are no different from describing monsters.
"Elf-sama!" The butler's daughter, Talesa Foxton, suddenly falls to her knees in front of Carlin.
"What's the matter?" An invisible force of peace lifted the little girl up again, and Carlin asked calmly.
"Did you say a long time ago that I have a talent for arcane arts......" Taresa said with a shudder, "you...... Can...... Take me to Dalaran and teach me magic? ”
The last time I came to Dunhold Castle, I seemed to have mentioned this by accident, but it was just to cover up the unintentional gaffe...... He is not a humanoid crystal detector, how can he know if the other party has talent.
"There are many people with arcane talents, but very few can become mages!" Carlin said lightly: "And wanting to become a real mage is a very painful and torturous process!" ”
"I'm not afraid of pain!" The little girl said firmly, "I will ...... very, very hard"
"Then why do you insist on learning magic?" A voice suddenly came from behind Carlin.
And it's exactly the same as Carlin's own voice!
Although it is certain that Khadgar is doing something wrong, it should be using a spell like "false sound...... But the thrill of this moment still scared Carlin!
Fortunately, Taresha's eyes kept on the ground and did not notice anything unusual in her voice.
"Because...... Because I want to save my brother......"
Khadgar behind him should still want to imitate Carlin's voice and ask questions......
But Carlin wouldn't give him a chance, he picked up his staff from the side of the bed and swung it hard behind him...... Khadgar quickly closed his mouth in amusement.
Turning back, Carlin continued to ponder Taresha's answer.
According to the timeline, her own brother should have died of illness, and the brother she said should be the orc "Sal" adopted by Blackmore! The little girl was smart enough to know that Blackmore would definitely be bad for orcs like Thrall in the future, so she naively wanted to become a mage and change all that......
Carlin could have simply refused and chased her away; But thinking of the tragic fate of this girl in the future, he couldn't help but stop this thought.
"I have a task right now, I don't have time!" He pondered for a moment and said, "If I have a chance in the future, I will come to you!" ”
It's a blank check.
"Thank you, Elf-sama!" Talesa smiled and thanked her again and again before leaving.
……
"Carlin, I didn't expect you to let go of such a little girl!" Khadgar's figure reappeared from the shadows.
Seeing the expression on Carlin's face that looked like he wanted to kill, he quickly changed his words and said, "I don't know why, I feel that this girl looks so pitiful...... Shall we help her? ”
"It's pathetic!" Carlin nodded, rarely without a seizure, and said calmly, "But we have more important things to do now!" ”
