Chapter 169: Prayer and Change
Explorers are away from home, information transmission is crucial, in the absence of electronic communication equipment, the ability to communicate remotely, natural or unnatural, is very popular with the Exploration Society, but because of the lack of mass production, there are only a few explorers who come to Stormwind Town.
When the bearded dwarf heard his companion's words, he immediately shook his head, opened his eyes and looked at the sky and night, but he couldn't see the shadow of the floating island at all, he subconsciously wanted to refute, but saw that the explorer with special speed, because of the exhaustion of physical energy, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and quickly swallowed the rebuttal back into his stomach, and solemnly nodded and replied in a deep voice: "Okay, I will do it!" ”
The extremely weak explorer, standing against the side of the ship, dared to fall into a coma when he saw the bearded dwarf crush the communication stone and open a temporary passage for remote conversation.
The bearded dwarf was stunned again, so much so that he could not respond to the call of the dialogue channel in time.
Hera Tieli...... Hera Tieli! Please reply when you hear it! ”
The explorer who stayed in the Hearthstone Hotel, his tone was very anxious, first, he was not optimistic about going north to rescue, and secondly, the communication stone was a pair of his own, as long as the call time passed, the communication stone in his hand would turn into pieces, in order to avoid a waste of resources, he couldn't help but raise his voice, and completely wake up the bearded dwarf in a trance.
"The situation is very special right now, there is a floating island flying towards Stormwind, repeat, there is a floating island flying towards Stormwind, this is not a joke, I repeat, this is not a joke! The people who stayed at the Hearthstone Inn were immediately responsible for organizing the townspeople to evacuate Stormwind Town, repeat, evacuate Stormwind Town! ”
The bearded dwarf exerted all his strength and shouted this sentence in a roaring manner, which not only made everyone on the ship realize the seriousness of the situation at once, but also made everyone in the Hearthstone Inn immediately treat the impending crisis with twelve points of spirit.
At this moment, most of the explorers and architects who stayed in the Hearthstone Inn were not good at fighting or running long distances, including the building director Van Cleef, who was asked by Anduin to stay in order to maintain the basic order of the Hearthstone Inn.
"Mr. Green, how is your night vision?"
The heavy lenses of the dwarven engineer flashed a little, and Green slammed his fist into his chest: "No problem! My flaming chariot has been parked in the storeroom for days, and I can hear his protests! ”
"Then please drive to Old Man Kane, and be sure to convince him to help you convey this important news to the townspeople."
"Wrap it up on me!"
Green shouted, and trotted out of the gate, and in a short time, the chariot roared to break the silence of the town, and the rugged mechanical chariot drove at full speed towards the door of old Kane, and then, almost all the explorers, architects, and security personnel guarding the manor were split into several squads by Van Cleef, rushing to different neighborhoods to evacuate the people.
Van Cleef thought very clearly, and it was destined that many townspeople would doubt the truth of this matter, so he invited the respected old Kane to dispel the townspeople's concerns, and the reality went smoothly as Van Cleef expected.
Although there are many bizarre events in this world, where can ordinary townspeople imagine what a floating island looks like, not to mention that it is a cold winter night outside the house, many townspeople are very resistant to leaving their bright and warm houses, in order to spread the news throughout the town, the evacuation team did not force it, and without saying a word, they pounced on the next family, leaving these "diehards" to old Kane to deal with.
I have to say that the old Kane, who has witnessed the development and growth of Stormwind Town, has unparalleled prestige, especially when he rode in the roaring Flame Chariot and appeared in front of the townspeople, without saying a word, many hesitant townspeople immediately packed their bags, as for those townspeople who were suspicious in their hearts, they also had to blend into the crowd and leave their hometown because of Old Kane's words and herd mentality from their hearts.
Seeing that the evacuation work was smooth and orderly, Van Cleef spit out a long breath of turbidity, he and the little White and Martin who stayed by his side, his eyes looked inexplicably at the Hearthstone Inn with a locked door, no one expected that this inn, which had just been on the right track, was actually facing a catastrophe, recalling the scenes of the renovation of the manor, Van Cleef's heart surged with unspeakable meaning, he patted the door lock lightly, and said in a low voice: "Everything that can be done has been done, we should also go, the rest is to look forward to a miracle, Hopefully, Count Anduin will be able to prevent disaster from becoming. ”
White was still young, and he was immersed in grief: "What if Stormwind is really destroyed?" ”
"What else can I do? Rebuild! Van Cleef said in a relaxed tone, "Stormwind has been rebuilt several times due to the Orc attack, and most recently, I was involved in the construction of it. It's a pity that I stayed in this hotel for several days, and I felt strange and uncomfortable to think that it might be gone. ”
Martin felt the same way, nodded heavily, he participated in the production of the meal, he has completely liked the kitchen environment of the Hearthstone Hotel, don't look at the small scale of this store, but it is definitely a model of the inside, not only all kinds of kitchenware leading the trend, and the production process is basically automated, not being able to leave with the two chefs, Martin regards it as the biggest regret.
The three of them stopped in front of the inn, quite sad, and suddenly, Van Cleef saw the night sky on the horizon, and a strange blue light suddenly appeared, and without saying a word, he took White and Martin and hurried to the outside of Stormwind Town. This scene was also seen by many townspeople, and they couldn't help but speed up their march, but because they were not sure about the safe area, the townspeople could only move forward, and they were panicked and related.
At this point, someone asked the question White had asked again: "If Stormwind is destroyed, where can we go?" ”
The explorers and architects who were responsible for maintaining order, in order to avoid the spread of panic, had already unified their voices and said: "Your Majesty Prince Terenus, you have promised Count Anduin to expand Stormwind Town, if Stormwind Town really disappears, it will be convenient for us to plan and build, and when the time comes, you can all live in spacious and comfortable houses." ”
The comforting language played a certain role, and the townspeople had a head, and even their steps became brisk, but the strange blue light that was rapidly approaching in the night sky was like a big stone pressing on their hearts, making everyone breathless, and from time to time some people looked back at Stormwind Town worriedly, they wanted to witness the moment of destruction of Stormwind Town, but they were afraid to see this moment.
After all, that's their home.
The atmosphere once again slipped to the bottom, and the speed of progress slowly decreased, and Van Cleef had to stand up and cheer everyone on: "Don't think too pessimistic about things, Earl Anduin has already landed on the floating island to try to resolve this disaster. You should know that Count Anduin is also an incarnation of the Light, and at this critical time, all the townspeople who believe in the Light should pray for him with all their hearts, and the Light will listen to your voice and will help him through this difficult time! ”
"Is this true? Do Our Prayers Really Work? ”
Some townspeople were surprised, while others couldn't believe it.
In order to maintain the speed of the evacuation team, Van Cleef could only respond: "It is true, Count Anduin is a transcendent being favored by the Holy Light, and now the Holy Light is unable to provide him with timely assistance because of the night, so you need to pray sincerely and call the Holy Light for him, as long as the Holy Light comes, miracles will happen, and Stormwind Town can be preserved." ”
Hearing this, most of the believers began to recite the Bible silently in their hearts, completely forgetting the fatigue of their bodies, and strode forward more quickly, and the rest of the townspeople were also secretly praying that the holy light could manifest miracles in the cold night, until this time, Van Cleef finally breathed a sigh of relief, they stared at the strange blue light, and a bad premonition welled up in their hearts.
Although he swore by what he had just said, but feeling the majestic momentum of the floating island, Van Cleef no longer had hope for a miracle, and what he could do now was to lead the people of Stormwind to leave this land of right and wrong far away, so that Anduin could not be distracted from the challenges and difficulties, even if he could not reverse the destruction of Stormwind Town, at least he would not have any scruples due to various scruples.
"Anduin, you must be safe, if you have a mistake, these Stormtown townspeople will really be homeless!"
Anduin didn't know what was happening in Stormwind Town, because he didn't have time to think about it now, if he really let the frozen island land successfully, then the endless cold wind from the far north would inevitably sweep through the surrounding cities with an unstoppable trend, and not only the Silver Fortress and the Blackstone Tribe, but also the Dwarven City and the goblin port of Gakison would definitely not be spared.
After shaking off Louseb, Anduin did not encounter any obstacles, and shuttled through the shadows at great speed, and soon reached the end of the passage, and then saw a sight that made him jaw-dropping.
On the high frozen throne, there stood more than one figure, Arthas, who was familiar with the path, not only arrived here early, but also stood in front of Bervar with a proud look, for some reason, instead of attacking him, Bolvar showed a distorted expression of struggle and pain on his face, as for the evil frost sorrow, it seemed to be sealed, the cold light was gone, and the momentum was completely gone, like a dull scrap of iron.
Shifting his gaze, Anduin looked at the two of them, his expression changed slightly, because Sonia, who was affected by the evil spirit, was fighting with the legendary knight who protected Arthas, Sonia seemed to be called by some kind of summons, constantly trying to break through the blockade of the legendary knight, but was repeatedly blocked by the legendary knight, Anduin keenly found that every time Sonia failed once, her aura became stronger, and she had only been among the fourth order not long ago, and she had actually reached the peak of the fourth order at this time.
Anduin could see that the legendary knight did not exert his full strength, but as the battle continued, he also felt more difficult, Sonia's progress was faster than expected, and the way of attacking became more and more crazy, forcing the legendary knight to use all his strength in order to steadily suppress the current Sonia, but when he thought that Sonia could continue the current momentum and break the shackles of the legend, the legendary knight who had never been a killer flashed with a lot of killing in his eyes.
His mission is to protect Arthas, and as soon as Sonia appears, he will attack Arthas, if it weren't for the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo's repeated reminders, he would have erased the hidden danger long ago, otherwise, where would there be a situation of raising tigers?
"Little girl, if you are still obsessed, then I will no longer show mercy!"
The legendary knight doesn't want to let Sonia be promoted to legend, even if she has a close relationship with Anduin, it can't compare to Arthas's personal safety, the focus he needs to care about has always been to protect Arthas, since Sonia threatens Arthas, he simply turns defense into offense, and the stormy and powerful offensive immediately makes Sonia dangerous, and the difference in strength between the two makes Sonia powerless, Anduin was shocked, and raised his hand to be a shadow lightning, black electric light pierced the void, and repelled the legendary knight.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, showing the dissatisfaction of the legendary knight, he glanced at Anduin coldly, not caring about Anduin's existence, and once again fought with Sonia, who had a chance to breathe, with a more fierce attack.
Zhou Zhuo, the traveling scholar, saw Anduin's face sank, and shook his head helplessly, he could feel that Sonia's mental condition was wrong, but he couldn't stop the battle, Arthas's actions seemed to threaten Frost Grief and Berval, making Sonia almost lose her mind and try to kill Arthas.
The pandaman sighed, suddenly tore a scroll, temporarily fixed Sonia and the legendary knight in place, and said to Anduin, who was hurrying over: "Miss Sonia's situation is very special, I have tried to wake her up several times without success, Count Anduin, do you have a solution?" ”
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Zhou Zhuo." Anduin's face was solemn and he looked at Sonia, whose eyes were dark, "I'll try as much as I can." ”
Immediately, Anduin ripped off the Holy Light Diamond around his neck, and when the system was helpless, he could only pin his hopes on the mysterious magic stone with the ability to transform, and the pieces of energy crystals were filled with the Holy Light Diamond as if they didn't need money, making the diamond brilliance dazzling, and Alsace, who was standing next to the throne, was a little disgusted with the diamond light, but for Anduin's sake, he didn't say anything, besides, he also needed a quiet environment to complete his ultimate goal.
The bright Holy Light Necklace failed to light up Sonia's dark eyes, but according to the system scan, the excess shadow energy in Sonia's body began to be affected by the Holy Light Diamond, however, feeling the threatening shadow aura, began to frantically erode the spell confinement, and the panda man Zhou Zhuo immediately reminded: "Count Anduin, time may be running out!" Are you still in time? ”
Anduin didn't speak, he was engrossed in inducing the Holy Light Diamond, and gradually, a black light that exuded a demonic aura was suddenly sucked into the diamond, and then, more and more black light left Sonia's body, and was swallowed by the gluttonous Holy Light Diamond.
Seeing this, Anduin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, according to the system prompt, Sonia's mental state is stabilizing, and it only takes a little more time for her to return to normal.
However, at this moment, the spell confinement set by the traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo suddenly collapsed, and the evil aura that came to the end of the road also regarded Anduin, who was holding the Holy Light Diamond, as his mortal enemy, even if Sonia, who was in good spirits, struggled with all her might, she couldn't stop her dagger from stabbing Anduin's chest......
