Chapter 19: The Alterac Mountains
"You care about me?" Ilucia tilted her head slightly to look at Su Chen, and her blue eyes like lake water seemed to flash with surprise.
Su Chen's figure couldn't help but stagnate slightly, and he hesitated a little: "This ...... I'm just a paladin, and I don't want another undead in the world. ”
"Yes......" Ilucia's eyes closed, looking a little lost, "Although the Barov family used to be rich, I have no inheritance as a woman, and since I was a child, few people have cared about me except my mother, and now I ...... Even my mother hadn't seen her in years. ”
Su Chen couldn't help but grow his head for a while, could it be that in this world, the reputation of the paladin is so good that he can let a ** master from a noble background pour out his heart.
But I'm not good at chatting with people, especially women.
"Actually, there should be a lot of people who care about you, it's just that you don't feel it......" Su Chen reluctantly found some words to comfort her.
Iluthia shook her head slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "You don't have to deliberately comfort me...... Sue, are you paladins really not afraid of anything for the sake of faith? ”
"It should be......" Su Chen replied with some hesitation, as a traverser, he had no faith at the moment, but it seemed that because he hadn't done anything despicable, he was still not abandoned by the Holy Light, and he was still able to pray for the power of the Holy Light.
"It's good to have faith!" Ilucia suddenly sighed, and she didn't know what was going through her mind.
"You can have your own beliefs, too."
Iluthia shook her head with a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "I was born in the Barov family, naturally everything can only be based on the family, even if I have been promoted to the first division, I must also give everything for the benefit of the family......"
Su Chen sighed slightly, although the nobles lived a good life, they also had their own helplessness.
In Arthas's memory, his sister was also the princess of Lordaeron, and she could not escape a political marriage.
Su Chen was searching her stomach to find some words like chicken soup for the soul to comfort her, but suddenly touched something abnormal under his feet - he swam to the shore!
"Finally swam up, the lake is really cold."
Su Chen was overjoyed, but how to deal with the 'captive' around him became a big problem for him.
Originally, I wanted her to lead the way, but now it seems that she doesn't even know the way home......
At this moment, under the moonlight, the wet Elucia was holding her arms around her chest, her face was blushing, her dripping long hair matched her pure face, she looked soft and weak, and she was completely a noble lady in distress.
The soaked gauze skirt obviously could no longer cover the pair of beautiful things on the chest, which could be covered by the lake before, but now it can only be covered with the embarrassment of the arm.
However, Su Chen didn't forget to remind himself that beside him was a ** master who had just betrayed Dalaran, and with a wave of his hand, he could turn people into an ice sculpture.
With the strength of his paladin and the assistance of his brain, although he can fight her head-on, it is pointless to kill her himself.
"Forget it, let's go." Su Chen hesitated slightly for a moment and then said.
"You...... Where are you going for me? Illusia said softly, with a look of dazedness in her eyes, and she didn't seem to have the consciousness of a 'captive' at all.
"Well, you can go wherever you want, do you want to go with me to Andohar to kill the undead?" Su Chen re-loaded the sword box on his back and began to look at the surrounding environment, but it was too dark, and at a glance, he could only see the outline of a black and oppressive mountain in the distance.
It must have been easiest to walk along the lake in this case, but they had just come out of the Dalaran prison, and the mages would surely soon be able to track them down and find out that they had left by boat, and it was estimated that it would not be long before a large number of pursuing boats appeared in the lake of Lordanmere.
Su Chen didn't want to fight a group of mages, he would rather go to the mountains and forests to meet those unknown beasts and monsters.
However, he soon noticed that Iluthia was still following behind him, one high and one low.
"I don't know where to go...... "Ilucia quickly lowered her head and explained after finding Su Chen looking at her, but the voice became lower and lower.
"Alas, it seems that Dalaran's education work has really failed." Su Chen sighed slightly, and couldn't help but think of the so-called exam-oriented education, and now it seems that Dalaran's magic education also has a lot of problems, at least it doesn't pay much attention to practicality.
"You're willing to let me follow?" Illucia heard his sigh but looked overjoyed.
"I'm going to cross the Alterac Mountains and head north, so if you're willing to follow me all the way through the mountains, then follow along." Su Chen said, I hope she can retreat in the face of difficulties, after all, she is the mastermind of this prison robbery, and she also betrayed Dalaran, it is estimated that there will definitely be no fewer people chasing her, if she takes her with her, most of them will affect herself.
However, before his words could be heard, Ilucia replied eagerly, "I do." ”
“……”
The continent of Azeroth is definitely a vast and sparsely populated world, at least most of the mountains are inhabited.
The kingdom of Alterac is the only human kingdom built in the mountains and forests, of course...... This is also the least powerful, and now it has been wiped out.
On the way, you can see abandoned houses on the side of the road, which were left behind by the relocation of people to the kingdom of Dalaran when the kingdom of Alterac was destroyed.
Although this place is still at the foot of the Alterac Mountain, the terrain is quite gentle, but because of Illusia behind him, Su Chen did not walk fast.
But even so, the ** division behind him still seems to be following quite hard.
With her background, even if her family is in the middle of the road, the Barov family is still one of the best nobles, and it is estimated that there are very few times when she walks over the mountains and mountains.
"It's already far from Lake Lordamire, and the mage of Dalaran won't chase after him for a while, or you can rest first, and I'll go to the nearby mountains and forests to see if I can catch some prey." Su Chen decided to take a break before officially climbing the mountain, and after swimming in the icy lake for so long, he already felt a little hungry.
"Well, then I'll be waiting for you in this abandoned hut." Iluthia nodded, she was obviously extremely tired, but she still picked up a broken log, casually cast a fire spell and lit it and handed it to Su Chen, and said with concern: "You have to be careful of the ogres in this mountain, in the dossier of Dalaran, those ogres separated from the orc army are already very powerful in this mountain forest, and they have even threatened the farm of Talummir under the mountain." ”
"Ogre...... Are those ogres strong? Su Chen hesitated for a moment and asked.
In his memory, the level of those ogres in the Alterac Mountains in the game is not high, but in this real world, it is natural that he can't judge based on the memories of the game, and he has already planted it once in front of the Dreadlord last time, and he has to start to be cautious about those monsters in this world.
"It should be strong, right...... I haven't fought with ogres either, but I've seen some information about ogres in Dalaran, but although ogres do eat people, in fact, they only do that when there is an extreme lack of food, after all, it is far more difficult to hunt humans than to hunt wild beasts, and it is easy to attract the encirclement of human armies, so it should not be as terrifying as imagined, but you need to be careful of those ogres, especially the ones with two heads. ”
