Chapter XXXIII
"So, you want to marry my daughter?"
The first time he met Admiral Prodmoore, the famous admiral gave Ares a dismount. He was very direct and didn't say a word of nonsense. The tall and thin figure stood on the land of the alliance like a pine, just like his spirit, for the sake of the alliance, he did his best. Ares noticed that Dalein's temples were even a little gray. But he was clearly not that old, perhaps after the darkest age in human history, the great King of Kul Tiras, who was heartbroken for the future of Azeroth.
"Yes, honorable King Kul Tiras, Admiral, I want to marry your daughter Gianna as my wife."
Facing Dai Lin, he was straight to the point and asked some questions. Ares was also very calm, and replied to Prodmore, Admiral, in the same simple and direct manner.
Gianna looked embarrassed from the sidelines.
However, this made Dai Lin interested in the young man in front of him. As everyone is saying, this young paladin is indeed a little different from ordinary people......
"Then why do you marry my daughter? Your qualifications are not high enough to convince me of you. β
Dai Lin said with a serious face. He sat in the seat of the flagship commander of Kurtilas, and looked at the proud paladin in front of him, although he was the Ashbringer, but for Dalin, he had to see it with his own eyes, otherwise, any kind of legend was just a legend.
"Dear Prodmoore, Admiral, it is true that I do not have a noble birth or sufficient qualifications, but I have a sincere heart, and I think this is what has sustained me to where I am now."
Standing in front of Dalein, Ares said proudly. Although as soon as the words came out, Ares himself felt very disgusting and routine, but there was no way, in life, sometimes you have to do some routines, especially for dealing with the elderly.
"Sincerity? Anyone can say that, but some people don't say what they say or do. I don't mean you, kid. You know my concerns. β
Dalin said, and lit a pipe. As if falling into some kind of contemplation. Ares knew what he was thinking, what he was remembering. Everyone knows who Gianna almost married, and the prince of Lordaeron, who was once expected to be infinite, finally went down the path of darkness and depravity. This matter has been lingering on Dai Lin until now, and it has almost become a piece of the elderly father's heart.
"I know, but what I want to say is that I'm not the same as him......"
In the face of Dalin's somewhat disdainful attitude, Ares continued to endure and replied respectfully.
"Well, tell me what you plan to do in the future. After finding Varian? β
Dalin continued. His tone began to soften slowly, perhaps in his heart, he was not 100% repulsive to the young man in front of him. But Ares didn't know, and didn't have the heart to guess. I just express what I think and feel as much as possible. In fact, from the beginning, from the heart, Ares had already decided that this meeting, anyway, your daughter's heart is with me, you have to agree if you agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree.
"To help Varian re-establish order in Stormwind and then form a new alliance, we need to work together to fight the darkness. And I, one day, will return to Lordaeron with the Ashbringer. Purify land contaminated by natural disasters. Even, we can form an expeditionary force, like the Scarlet Crusaders, to go north to Northrend, to eliminate the Lich King, and to eliminate the Scourge of the undead. β
Ares said in a high-pitched voice.
But in the next second, I heard Dai Lin's slightly mocking laughter. His eyes narrowed into a line, staring at Ares, as if to say - just you?
At this moment, Jean, who had been silent, couldn't stand it. King Gilneth stepped forward.
"Dalein, old man, put away your arrogance, everyone here is no worse than you, including Ares, the Ember Messenger has saved the lives of countless Lordaerons, you have no reason to laugh at him."
Standing in front of Dalin, Jean. Greymane snarled. His body was already very strong, and Dalin sat in the chair, and instantly felt a little shorter. But the admiral was not easy to mess with, and just as Jean finished speaking, Dalin also stood up.
He pointed to the bridge of Jean's nose and roaredβ
"Jean. Greymane? Everyone here has the right to speak, but you don't! King of Gilneth, when will it be your turn to judge the affairs of the Alliance? Do you still have a relationship with the Alliance? Before the orc war was completely over, you quit the alliance early in order not to bear the cost of building and maintaining the adoption house. When the Scourge attacked, the refugees of Lordaeron poured into the Silverpine Forest, gathering under the walls of Greymane, begging Gilneth to accept them, and as a result, what were you doing? Shut the gates of the city, so that not a single refugee enters the city, leaving them starved to death in the wilderness, slaughtered by the undead of the natural scourge. Excuse me, are you still qualified to say anything here? It's for Magni's sake to let you in today. β
Dai Lin's words of scolding made the atmosphere on the field suddenly full of gunpowder. For a while, even Gianna and Magni didn't know what to do.
"That's what your former precious son-in-law did! Without him, Lordaeron would still be alive and well! β
Jean roared angrily, his strong fist slamming against the corner of the table, and the entire command table was smashed to a clang, and the compass and cups on it trembled.
"Guards! Get this beast out! β
Dalin roared.
"Enough!"
The chaotic scene was suppressed by Magni's roar. The guards who had already arrived at the door suddenly stopped, they were waiting for further orders from Daelin, and as soon as the admiral gave another order, they would really drive Jean out of the fleet. But it doesn't look like Dalin has any intention of continuing to go berserk.
Indeed, he lost his temper, both of them.
"Dalin, Jean, calm down, today's topic is the mystery of Varian's disappearance. Instead of arguing here about who is right and who is wrong. And, Dalin, your future son-in-law, well, that is, Ares, I vouch for him by my character, he is definitely a man of good character, he has saved many lives and helped us. β
Magni roared, then cleared his throat and spoke in a calm tone.
"There's no point in us going on like this, the Lich King may be in the depths of the glaciers of Northrend, calculating our deaths, if we can't work together."
Magni finished speaking, and Ares added. At this time, the atmosphere on the field slowly eased. It's just that Ares and Gianna didn't expect that the first time they saw Dalin, they would cause such an unpleasant thing......
