Chapter 213: Kane's Night Talk and the Blood Elves Come
The sun has just set on the top of the mountain, and normally, in such a cold and unbearable winter night, Stormwind Town will fall into silence, and every family will shrink into warm houses, except for patrols, very few people will go out in the snow at night, but in Anduin's first thought of succeeding the lord of Stormwind Town, this small town on the border has ushered in earth-shaking changes, and at the same time as the night falls, the people of Stormwind Town officially start a food carnival.
Zhou Zhuo, the traveling scholar who won the championship reward, except for a new city property, all the other rewards were converted into equal gold coins, so that Anduin held an extremely grand hot pot party, even residents or adventurers who could not go to the Hearthstone Inn to eat, they could enjoy the hotel's special delicious hot pot in their respective residences, which made many latecomers who had heard of it for a long time taste the taste of hot pot for the first time.
The bright but not dazzling lights illuminated the snowflakes passing through the window door, and the old Kane family sat around the fireplace, tasting the steaming hot pot, watching the happy scene, and a full sense of happiness arose in the heart of the old Kane.
As the elder of Stormwind Town, Kane Sr. naturally received Anduin's invitation, but he wanted to reunite with his family for dinner on this special day, so he politely declined Anduin's proposal.
"What a change!"
Old Kane's emotion stirred up the rising water vapor, and little Kane, who was sitting next to him, nodded heavily, and agreed very much: "Father, you are right!" Who would have thought that Stormwind Town half a year ago would still be a dilapidated town with only two thousand people? Today I just received news from the Temporary Town Hall that the total population of Stormwind Town has reached 15,000, and with the current size of Stormwind Town, it is no exaggeration to say that it has reached the level of overcrowding. ”
Little Kane's eyes showed a hint of solemnity, as the head of the temporary security department, he can best understand the changes in the rapid increase in population, even if it is two emergency recruitments before and after, there is no way to deal with the increasing potential hidden dangers, after all, the existence of underground ruins has made many adventurers pour into Stormwind Town, these people are self-reliant and short-tempered, often due to a little insignificant friction, and then the contradiction intensifies, and finally makes a big move, and when the garrison arrives to deal with it, they often have to face a tragic situation that cannot be managed.
"Fortunately, the Marquis of Anduin has agreed, let us recruit some more people, and the Knights of the Champion will also send additional knights to help." Little Kane touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, even when he was eating, he was fully armed and ready to deal with emergencies at any time, "In addition, according to President Renault, the number of adventurers attracted by the underground ruins is also about to pass the peak stage, as long as the new city is basically completed, the most difficult days will pass." ”
"These days, you go out early and return late, our family hasn't eaten together for a long time!"
Seeing that her husband began to talk about business again, little Kane's wife complained very much: "Every time I see you on a mission, I have to be afraid for a while, for fear that you have three long and two short, there are many foreign explorers, who look like vicious people, just looking through the window, I am scared to go out, when I think of you dealing with these people every day, I want you to quit this errand, isn't it an official of the Garrison Department?" It's not a first-in-command or a second-in-command, it's worth your life? ”
Hearing this, little Kane's face changed, and anger appeared between his eyebrows: "Stormwind Town is a critical period of rapid growth, and Marquis Anduin is very short of helpers, the reason why I joined the Garrison Department is not to be an official and a half-post, but to assist Marquis Anduin and escort the construction of Stormwind City." ”
Sensing his wife's aggrieved expression, and his father also showed blame, Xiao Kane's eyes softened, and he laughed softly, "Besides, there is no direct relationship between the level of strength and the vicious appearance, thanks to the care of the old butler of Fuding, who guided me to become a fourth-order great knight, in Stormwind Town, I can definitely be regarded as a master, and ordinary people are not my opponents at all, not to mention, every time we go on a mission, we are all sent out in a team, everyone helps each other, and there are few casualties." ”
"Daddy! Will I be able to join the Security Department in the future? Little Kane's son finally stopped his desire to eat, and said with hope, "Look at you and the other uncles wearing armor and holding swords, so majestic!" ”
Little Kane touched his son's head lovingly, pointed to his wife and said, "What is majestic? If you want to join the Security Agency, I have no objection, but you have to ask for your mother's permission. ”
The little boy looked at his mother excitedly, but ushered in a cold gaze, his mouth was deflated, and he was gloomy: "If it's not right, it's not right, no matter how majestic the garrison is, it's not as good as a night ranger, I grow up, I must become a night ranger!" ”
"Nightcrawler?" Little Kane's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What nightcrawler?" ”
"You don't even know about Nightcrawler?" The little boy pretended to be an old man, despised his father's loneliness, "It's those lone rangers who act at night!" I've heard a lot of friends say that they've seen the Nightcrawler before! ”
As an officer of the garrison department, little Kane immediately realized that the so-called Night Ranger is actually MI7, and it is estimated that a certain member was accidentally discovered by a child when he was in action, and then he got the name of Night Ranger, little Kane thought about it, and still didn't plan to make up a lie to dispel his son from the idea of becoming a Night Ranger, these things will always get darker and darker, and deliberately covering up may arouse more curiosity.
After that, the topic of Kane's family changed to the shortcomings of the parents, and the ingredients on the table gradually bottomed out, and just when little Kane thought that he would spend a peaceful night, there was a sudden knock on the door of his house.
Bell bell, bell knock.
Triple and three light, it is a popular mission code for the Garrison Department, and hearing these six knocks on the door, Kane's family realized that little Kane was going on an urgent mission.
Little Kane sighed, patted his son's head lightly, cast an apologetic look at his wife, picked up the long sword and said goodbye to his father, and when he went out, he saw a team of assembled members of the Garrison Department, the leader stepped forward and whispered in Little Kane's ear: "The Knights of Champions have issued a warning, there are some suspicious people, coming from the Silver Fortress, Your Excellency the Adjudicator did not use force against these people after seeking the consent of the Marquis of Anduin, and now they have passed through the defense area of the Champion Knights and entered the range of residential areas, Boss Van Cleef has put us in charge of monitoring and guarding against accidents, and if the target is near the Hearthstone Inn, Elder Ed will step in. ”
Hearing the familiar names, little Kane immediately realized the importance of this mission.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary tasks can be solved by the strength of the National Security Agency alone. Tricky cases, on the other hand, will be handled secretly by the dozens of special stalkers who joined MI7. If the situation becomes more dire, the Garrison and MI7 will be deployed jointly.
However, the current situation has shocked the Marquis of Anduin, the chief adjudicator of the Champion Knights, Tuhart, their immediate boss Ed, the legendary knight in charge of the Garrison Department, and the commander of MI7, Van Cleef, all of whom have been alarmed, which shows what a huge pressure the appearance of those suspicious people has bringed.
"Let's go!"
Little Kane waved his hand, and the well-trained members of the garrison immediately moved forward at full speed, at this time, it was just the end of the banquet, many people ate too much and did not want to move, making the streets of the winter night more and more empty, and after a while, Little Kane and the others followed the signal and found the target of the mission - a group of outsiders in black cloaks.
The faces of these people are hidden under the hood, even if they find the traces of Kane and the others, they keep their steps calm, if you listen carefully, you will even find that these people are talking, although no one knows what language they are speaking, but the relaxed tone of voice shows their calmness more and more.
For some reason, seeing the dress of these people made little Kane feel familiar, but he didn't think much about it, so he followed Van Cleef's instructions to escort these suspicious people, and now Storm Town is mixed with dragons and snakes, maybe there will be drunks coming out to make trouble, in order to avoid accidents, these members of the Security Department will nip the accident in the bud, and at the same time, they will also monitor the movements of these suspicious people, and once they detect something wrong, they will send a signal to the members of MI7 who are hiding in the shadows.
When the time comes, it is bound to stage an extremely dangerous battle.
However, what worried little Kane did not happen in the end, the purpose of these suspicious people was very clear, that is, to walk through the main road of Stormwind Town, go straight to the Hearthstone Inn in the center, at the foot of the hill near the Hearthstone Inn is located, Ed, who had been waiting here for a long time, took the initiative to walk towards those mysterious visitors whose identities were unknown, and then said words that made little Kane jaw-dropping.
"Marquis Anduin asked me to apologize to all distinguished guests, today he wants to practice for His Excellency Zhou Zhuo, a traveling scholar, I can't take a break to greet him, and I hope you will forgive me, in addition, Marquis Anduin also said, please be able to keep to yourself, otherwise, he doesn't mind a few more prisoners in the cell."
As soon as these words came out, the situation immediately made Xiang'an have nothing to do, and a strong smell of gunpowder burst out.
Little Kane and the others immediately realized that these familiar people were dressed up exactly like those criminals who had been subjected to legendary penance and public trial, and they suddenly realized that they had also raised the limit of vigilance to the extreme, if these people wanted to save those criminals who tried to destroy Stormwind Town, then there would definitely be a fierce battle on this night, and at this time, the place where everyone was located was not a densely populated area, and choosing the battlefield here was undoubtedly the best result.
The faces of those blood elves hidden under the hood have lost their relaxed expressions, they definitely did not expect that human beings would be so arrogant, however, seeing the true silver holy sword in Ed's hand, they had to be afraid of three points, the right hand of the holy light Lazares is also famous in the land of blood elves, and his sword actually fell into the hands of a beginner legend, which shows that the identity of the other party is not simple.
At this time, the masked man, who was separated from the blood elves for some distance, suddenly lifted his hood, revealing a human face, which was none other than Archbishop Alex, who had competed with Archbishop Kidd for the Pope.
In order to win over Anduin, Alex also specially invited Anduin to visit the fortress church, but unfortunately, God did not fulfill people's wishes, due to the change of the old Pope St. Francis, Constantine received two help from the Holy Light Pope, one of which was a legendary penance replaced the position of the chief judge of Archbishop Kidd, and the other legendary priest controlled the affairs of the church, although he still nominally wanted to be the third person in the Holy See, but the real situation was that he was just a small minion who did chores for the third person.
No, because of Samuel and others, the blood elves asked Constantine for their crimes, and the Sun Pope did not want to have a direct conflict with the blood elves, so he gave up his car to protect the commander and forcibly pushed Alex out.
Alex, who became a victim, was angry and angry, but he did not give up on himself, he tried to delay the destined battle as much as possible, so he directly identified himself and greeted Ed with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Ed, the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo is a well-known friendly person, for his sake, we will try our best to seek opportunities for peaceful negotiations." ”
Alex responded lightly, making the blood elves temporarily suppress the idea of doing it directly, and if there was no possibility of peaceful negotiation at that time, they would naturally use force to speak.
Ed could naturally hear what Alex meant, but his task was only to convey Anduin's meaning to those blood elves, and nodded to Alex quietly, and waved to the cloaked blood elves: "Everyone, please come with me." ”
At this point, the mission of Little Kane and the others has ended, but they have not dispersed, but continue to stay in place to prevent the battle from happening and prepare for rescue.
"Prince Kereses, will there be a deception? That human named Anduin is waiting for us to come to the door, and I'm afraid that an ambush has already been set up! ”
As he went, an elven language sounded in the crowd, which Alex couldn't understand, but he could clearly feel the bodies of all the blood elves, and there was a sudden shock.
"There's nothing to worry about, if humans really plan to set up an ambush, they won't send someone to meet us."
As the leader of this trip, Prince Keresis walked in front of the blood elves, both in words and actions, and was extremely calm, so that those blood elves who felt nervous were then calm and restless, and firmly followed the footsteps of Kereseth to the door of the Hearthstone Inn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Marquis of Anduin is waiting for you inside the door, please come with me."
Ed said lightly, then pushed open the door and walked in, Kereses did not doubt him, followed by the rest of the blood elves, but it was Archbishop Alex, who was walking in front, and finally squeezed into the door, and his curious eyes swept over the soft lighting, chic furnishings, warm fire, full of guests, and finally looked at the table where Anduin was with a group of blood elves.
However, unlike the Blood Elves who watched Anduin, he cared more about the existence of his old rival.
"When did this guy Kidd come to Stormwind Town to follow Anduin?"
