Chapter 126: Heroes Are No More with My Fair Lady

The Silver Palace is the most magnificent building in the entire fortress, and it is not inferior to the lost Elven Imperial City, and Anduin, under the leadership of Arthas and the old lord, walked for a long time, passing by the garden pavilion, before coming to the front of Prince Terenus.

This is a slightly dim and solemn temple, the gray-haired Terenus sits on the cold and lonely throne, and the sunlight shines through the huge flower window, but the throne casts a shadow, obscuring the brilliant brilliance of the crown, and also makes the wrinkles on Terenus's forehead more and more tangled.

"Varian?"

A voice that was slightly surprised but could not hide the vicissitudes of life, echoing in the empty hall, Terenus couldn't help but straighten his waist: "The last time we met, how many years ago?" ”

This scene surprised Anduin, he didn't expect Terenus to be so old, not only mistaking him for Varian, but also straightening his body, and not being able to break free from the shadows, that slightly pale face, the king's breath was gone, as if he was just an ordinary old man who was about to die, and he could no longer find the majestic posture of the hero's legend.

Arthas's eyes dimmed a little, and he whispered to Anduin: "Ever since I told me about the Northern Isles, my father has lost his spirit, and from time to time he has been chanting the names of Count Berval and your father, and he has been in a very low mood in the last few days, but he should be in a much better mood when he sees you. ”

Anduin nodded slightly, and then saw the old lord walk to the throne and whispered, "Your Majesty, Varian's son, Anduin is here. ”

"What?"

Terenus suddenly came back to his senses, carefully examined Anduin's appearance, and after a long time, sighed, "I see...... I recognized the wrong person. ”

As he spoke, Terenus curled up in the shadows again, his eyes were gloomy, and he said slowly: "You are very similar to Varian, you have a terrifying heroic air in your eyebrows and eyes, you are not like Varian, he holds a sword, but you hold a scepter. ”

This sentence made Anduin not know how to answer, and he felt an extremely subtle complaint from Terenus's tone.

What is he complaining about? Complaining that I'm a pastor?

At this time, Arthas whispered to Anduin: "Although it seems to outsiders that the next round of struggle between the royal family and the Holy See will be a long time, in fact, there is already a situation of incompatibility, and the repair of the silver barrier is very unpleasant, and I heard the old lord say that my father did not approve of you becoming a priest, and he wanted to train you to be a great being comparable to His Excellency Varian, and the Count of Berval intended to let you go with the flow, and the two even had some conflicts over this." ”

"I don't want anyone to whisper in front of me, not even you, my son!"

Terenus sat up suddenly, stretched his neck forward, and finally bathed the crown in the sun, at this moment, Anduin felt a trace of kingly spirit, just like the old lion king, there are times when he rises up, but the temper of His Majesty the prince seems to be a little moody.

Arthas lowered his head, not daring to say more, and Terenus turned his gaze to Anduin again: "Son of Varian, this is the first time we have met since you remembered, you should have followed the path of Varian, but unexpectedly became the embodiment of the Holy Light, this result is not bad, at least Varian will be more satisfied." ”

To put it this way...... Are you not satisfied?

Anduin couldn't help but slander in his heart, he felt that Terenus was haunted by his becoming a priest, and at this time he forgot about his status as a king, like an ordinary old man, and chattered unabashedly.

[Host, please note, after an initial scan, I noticed that the condition of Terenus is somewhat strange.] 】

"Specific questions."

[His mood swings are abnormal, it seems to be affected by some kind of influence, I am looking for the source of the influence, please be patient.] 】

Anduin nodded silently and said loudly, "One day, I will let the Holy Light shine on the main island of the north. ”

The resounding words finally resonated with Terenus, and he stood up tremblingly, but he couldn't clench his fists: "Yes, this is a mission and a shackle, for many years countless bloodsheds, one after another martyrs died bravely, and we can't change it." Anduin, your father was a hero, and I still remember his words before he left. ”

Terenus's eyes flashed with remembrance: "He said that he would conquer the Frost Sorrow with his life, and if he unfortunately died, please do not hold a funeral, because the loser is not worthy of mourning." ”

"I will inherit the will of Lord Varian!"

Anduin was silent, Arthas puffed out his chest, but Terenus snorted angrily, "My son, you are not qualified to say such things now!" ”

"Why?"

His Royal Highness the Prince was very angry, he felt that he was just a legend, Terenus slowly sat back on the throne, and said lightly: "The reason why Varian can become a hero is not by virtue of will, although he has just become a paladin, he set foot on the main island of the north, but it was after careful consideration, he was also confused, hesitant, afraid, and evasive, but in the end he still chose to shoulder his own mission, I and Boval witnessed Varian's spiritual transformation, and witnessed his dedication to himself and his ancestors. ”

"You don't know!"

Terenus's voice was extremely heavy: "Seeing Anduin's birth, the happiest people are not his parents, but me and Boval, we see the continuation of the bloodline in Anduin's body, we can't be the first to pick up the frost sorrow due to our own reasons, we all want to cultivate Anduin, as a reward for Varian, but unfortunately, some unpleasant things happened later......"

Terenus's words were over, but Anduin heard the flavor from them, and it was no wonder that His Majesty the Prince had expressed disappointment before, and the biggest reason should be that the result was in line with Berval's intentions, so that Anduin made his own choice, and this choice happened to make Tyrenus very disgusted.

However, as he spoke, the center of the conversation shifted from "qualifications" to other levels, and it seemed that His Majesty the Prince was very much looking forward to Arthas's marriage and children as soon as possible, but fortunately, Arthas fell in love with the magician of Dalaran.

This is like a real version of a fairy tale, Terenus, who defends the power of the Holy Light, will become the biggest obstacle between His Royal Highness the Prince and the magical girl, Arthas is a little depressed, he does not dare to show his heart to his father, Presto, who broke away from the magic family, has caused a cold war for many years, so what will happen to Gianna, who received magical education on the Mage Tower?

Arthas couldn't imagine it, but Terenus said abruptly: "Arthas, at your sister's engagement banquet, I hope you can find your favorite partner, if not, then I will choose for you!" ”

His Majesty's voice was unquestionable, and Anduin couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, looking at Alsace's appearance, in fact, it was not much different from Red, his father was too strong, and his life path was planned in advance, although he was a dazzling prince who was in the limelight, but he also had a pain that only he could understand.

At this time, Arthas clenched his fists, seeing that he was about to have a seizure, Anduin hurriedly stopped it, and now Prince Terenus's mood is not stable, and it will completely explode if he is not careful, it is better to wait until the cause is found out, and confide in him calmly.

It's just that Anduin didn't expect it, and Terenus turned around and said to him: "Anduin, you are also a big boss, it's time to start a family, who you have a crush on at the wedding banquet, just tell me, no matter how noble her status is, even if she is a member of the royal family, I can vouch for you." ”

"Ahem......"

Anduin was choked half to death, and he suddenly felt that no matter how great a hero is, he also has an ordinary side, and when Terrenus is old, he will be like an ordinary family elder, hoping to see the continuation of future generations, perhaps the reason why he ended the Cold War with Her Royal Highness the Princess is precisely because of this reason.

"Your Majesty, I already have someone I like, and Arthas can testify to this."

"Yes, Anduin is right, I saw that girl in Stormwind, and she is a perfect match for Anduin."

When Terenus heard this, he became angry again: "Arthas, my son, if you can be like Anduin, I can be relieved, do you remember what I said just now?" ”

Arthas was unwilling, but nodded in response, "I...... A suitable partner will be selected at the wedding reception. ”

Hearing this, Terenus's complexion improved slightly, and then he communicated with the old lord, and said to Anduin: "The expansion project of Stormwind Town has passed the Council of Ministers, and I will personally preside over it, and no one will be careful in this regard, during this period, the Knights of Champions will assist you in maintaining law and order, and if you find anything suspicious, you can cut it first." ”

"Anduin, Stormwind is located in the center of the continent in the past, you know this, as the construction continues, there will inevitably be more and more eyes to notice you and Stormwind Town's existence, at that time, you will encounter a lot of trouble, I hope you can be mentally prepared to face all difficulties, just like your father Varian."

Terenus's earnest words made Anduin nod heavily, "I will not let the enemy trample on my territory. ”

At the same time, the system responded.

[The scan results came out, there was a problem with Tyrenus's bracelet, releasing some kind of magic fluctuation, although the impact was very slight, but it could not be resolved naturally, and as it accumulated, Tyrenus's personality would become more and more uncontrollable. 】

Anduin frowned, and caught a glimpse of a bracelet on Tyrenus's hand, which was not very valuable, it looked very new, and it should have been put on recently, and just as he was thinking about how to use a legitimate excuse to come to the bracelet, Tyrenus suddenly felt sleepy, and fell asleep on the throne, and the old lord sighed softly, and could only quietly leave with the two of them, leaving Tyrenus alone in the empty hall.

"Anduin, I'm really sorry, His Majesty the Prince has been busy with trivial matters recently, and his emotions are always up and down, and I hope you don't mind, I still have some things, so I won't get involved in the lives of your young people."

As soon as he went out, the old lord apologized to Anduin, and then left alone, and when the old man disappeared, Arthas sighed: "The old man's health is really good, compared to him, my father is much worse, I didn't feel much before, but in recent days, I found that my father's aging speed is too fast, and his temper is becoming more and more elusive, Anduin, I want to ask for my sister's consent to host the wedding banquet." ”

"It seems that this is the only way, eh, I just saw Prince Terenus wearing a somewhat chic bracelet on his hand, which happens to be Sonia's favorite style, and she couldn't come this time, and she complained a little, so ......"

Arthas showed a look of understanding and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, that bracelet is a proof of reconciliation given to my father by my sister, I heard that she knitted it herself, it shouldn't be difficult for me to help you get one, I remember that she should be with Presto now, preparing for the afternoon tea party, let's go now, if you are not busy, you can show them your hand, after all, strength is the best proof." ”

Anduin readily agreed, but his eyebrows quietly condensed, the bracelet came from Her Royal Highness the Princess, it seemed that it had nothing to do with Presto, and he silently said in his heart: "If Presto is a human incarnation of a high-level existence, then he should not, he can't recognize Cthun's eyes, just in case, I am not going to use the Scepter of the Old God." ”

[If the host wants to use deep scanning, it is likely that there will be a lack of data, the magic fluctuations of that bracelet are too hidden, if it weren't for the fact that my scanning power was strengthened by the Titan bones, I wouldn't even be able to detect it, it is certain that the mastermind behind the fluctuations is very powerful. 】

"Then the question is, what is the matter with this strong man who has gone to great lengths to break into the palace?"

This question is destined to go unanswered, and Anduin can only use his own efforts to break through the fog that shrouds the truth, but when he follows Arthas's footsteps to the meeting hall, he suddenly finds that the situation is not as simple as he imagined.

This afternoon's tea party, initiated by Princess Celestia Kalia, invited nobles and celebrities from afar, including princes, grand dukes, and even a princess from the capital.

Although several knights who followed the first king to open up the territory were all divided into kings, the princess in the real sense was still the one who was surrounded in the center of the crowd, compared to Kalia, who was the host of the tea party, was much inferior, even if she was dressed extraordinarily dazzling, but it could not match the stunning beauty of the other party.

No matter which way you look at it, the real princess is perfect, elegant and dignified, kind and easy-going, she can always respond to every question with a touching smile, and her deep eyes seem to carry the magic of the dementor, making people unconsciously fall into it.

Anduin, who was accustomed to seeing beautiful women, was fine, but Arthas suddenly stood still, like the other men present, whose eyes fell on the beauty of the princess.

Seeing this, Anduin had to remind: "Arthas, have you forgotten Gianna?" ”

"No ......"

His Royal Highness suddenly came back to his senses, shifted his gaze to Anduin's body with difficulty, and said insincerely, "I just found someone to deal with on my errand." ”
