Chapter 100: The Winter Harvest and His Royal Highness the Prince
Spring is coming, everything is coming back, and it's time for the animals......
Ahem, on the snowflakes of the sea, the cold wind from the north failed to blow away the dense fog near the water, but this did not prevent the fishing boats of Stormwind from sailing out of the port.
"Masif, is this a gift from the Light? Why are schools of fish scrambling to get into the net? ”
With the joy of a bountiful harvest, one of the crew members felt that in the years he had never encountered such a situation in the first few years of his voyage, and that he had caught a nearly full harvest of seafood in just one day, he could not imagine any other reason why the fish could pounce so wildly on the mesh.
In contrast, Ma's expression was much calmer, and although he was equally pleased with the surprise, he also noticed a slight abnormality, and this year's sea fog seemed to be too thick......
He shook his head slightly, no longer thinking nonsense, looked at the taut fishing net, and shouted loudly: "After this net, we can set off and sail back, Earl Anduin said, we will give a reward when we return with a full load!" ”
"Good!"
The sailors shouted happily, and in unison and cheered, they pulled up the fishing nets with all their strength, and when they saw all kinds of fresh fish and seafood jumping around, they laughed in unison: "I think the Earl of Anduin should make us another hot pot instead of rewarding us!" After the Winter Veil Festival, I tried to make it myself, but I always felt that the taste was wrong, and I really wanted to eat the steaming authentic hot pot again! ”
"That's a good idea, hot pot is a good thing that most people can't eat if they want to! Anyway, when we get back, it's time for Varry to arrive in Stormwind with the others, so let's call him for a hot pot so he knows he's missing something! ”
Hearing this, Masif's heart flickered, if it weren't for Benedictas's business, Varui should be standing beside him at this time, and all he could do at this time was to hope that the snowflakes would subside, not make the road too muddy, and that the harvest would be counted as soon as possible, and turn around.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the sea.
"Look! There's a guy in the net! ”
Ma Xifu hurriedly put aside the fresh fish, saw the appearance of this person clearly, suddenly widened his eyes, and roared angrily: "Return immediately!! ”
……
Since Red's farewell and the old lord's departure, the continuous snow has not stopped, and as far as the eye can see, everything is draped in white satin, officially announcing the arrival of winter.
As soon as it was dawn, Anduin led the papal knights and the manor guards and hurried to the fortress, because during his routine divination of Jenny Turtle, he saw the stormtown townsfolk led by Vari and the inhabitants of the fortress they had summoned, struggling to march through the wind and snow, and the wagons loaded with goods were so muddy that they had to work together to continue on the road.
As a good lord loved by the townspeople, Anduin didn't want to sit idly by, and he didn't plan to trouble Jones and Van Cleeff, so he personally led people to walk through the snow and join Valry and the others as quickly as possible.
But to Anduin's surprise, when he arrived at the scene, he found that someone had reached out in advance, and looking at the other party's posture, it seemed that the origin was not small. Dozens of able, armoured knights scattered through the crowd, quickly helping the wagon out of the quagmire, and letting some of the wounded, old and young, ride their mounts to speed up the march.
At this time, as a representative, Vari was expressing his gratitude to a certain heroic young man, Anduin cast his gaze, and found that there was actually standing next to the young man, and the old Fry, who was a supplier to the royal family, looked at him and respected the young man, so the identity of this person was also about to be revealed, and Anduin immediately ordered to stop advancing.
The neighing of the horse immediately attracted the attention of the Dao, and the armored guards instantly formed a battle formation, protecting the heroic youth.
When Old Frye saw Anduin's figure, he immediately said to the young man, "Your Highness Arthas, this is Count Anduin of Stormwind Town. ”
The heroic young man had long golden shawl hair, even if the cold wind was howling, it could not touch the tips of his resolute hair, his sharp eyes, as if melting snowflakes, looked straight into Anduin's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he made the guards retreat, stepped forward, and raised his head and said, "You...... Is it the incarnation of the Light? ”
"Anduin, Earl of Storm, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
Anduin dismounted and said quietly, but there were waves in his heart, he would never have thought that he would be ...... with the second fool Arthas met by chance on such an occasion, in the Warcraft Chronicles, this is an out-and-out core character, looking at Arthas with a handsome face, a straight body, and a confident and proud look in his eyes, Anduin was a little distracted, will the other party experience the vicissitudes of sorrow in this world?
Arthas's smile naturally revealed an aristocratic temperament, he had long been regarded as the next silver archduke, he had always cultivated his leadership temperament, his gentle eyes met Anduin's eyes, nodded and said: "You are the embodiment of the Holy Light recognized by the Holy See, if you really want to count it, your status in the Holy See is a little higher than the status of me, the son of the Grand Duke, in the empire, see each other in the future, these red tapes will not be necessary, anyway, you and I are the same age, so simply call it by name." ”
As soon as these words came out, before Anduin could express his position, the people around him directly changed their expressions, especially the armored guards, one by one, they showed unbelievable expressions, even in the imperial capital, there are very few young people who can make His Royal Highness treat each other equally, the most famous of which is the crown prince of the royal family, and the person in front of him, although he bears the name of the incarnation of holy light, but his strength is only second-order, in their opinion, it is really not worthy of Arthas's courtesy.
In this regard, the old Fry's expression was much more indifferent, because Arthas had personally asked him about Anduin's condition, and the royal supplier, who had almost watched the other party grow up, knew at a glance that Arthas was trying to subdue Anduin as his right-hand man, and create another legendary story between His Royal Highness Terenus and the old lord.
Although he did not understand Anduin's potential, he gave a high evaluation of his character and skills, and focused on the various cuisines of the Hearthstone Hotel, which also gave Alsace the idea of using the wedding banquet as a medium to contact Anduin.
Of course, before leaving, Arthas also had concerns, although there was no vanity under the fame, but if Anduin's performance was not worthy of the title of the incarnation of the Holy Light, he would not formally propose the intention of solicitation, but the sudden return of the old lord sent him a reassuring pill, which only in the case of the first meeting, Anduin was promoted to an extremely high position.
Anduin's performance was not shocked: "His Royal Highness Prince Suwen is approachable, see you today, sure enough, since you want to be worthy of your name, then I might as well be respectful, Arthas, thank you for helping my townspeople." ”
His Royal Highness the Prince showed a dazzling smile: "Although Stormwind Town is far away from the Silver Fortress, it is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Fortress, helping them is helping my people, Anduin, you don't need to thank you, I heard that you transformed the mansion into a Hearthstone Inn, I heard Grandpa Frye talk about it, and I was very yearning, now that the atmosphere is not good today, let's start quickly, and when the time comes, I will have a long talk with you!" ”
Arthas's enthusiasm made Anduin a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but compare Red with him in his heart, I have to say that Red has a strong strength, but he doesn't have much leadership temperament on his body, not like Alsace at all, like a dazzling eye, which is impossible to ignore, and even in front of the townspeople, he overwhelmed the limelight of the storm lord.
Anduin naturally didn't want to intrigue on such a subtle level, and immediately ordered the guards to help the townspeople and rush back to Stormwind Town as quickly as possible.
Along the way, Arthas pondered how to convince Anduin to help him free the Silver Fortress from its shackles and go further, but who would have thought that the group had just arrived at the borders of Stormwind when a sudden news disrupted his plans.
"Earl Anduin, the old butler Ferding is back!"
