Chapter 2: The Arrival of Dalin
Over the next two days, Varian continued to visit Claudia regularly, and he was not shy about telling Claudia about politics, so Claudia learned a lot about the progress of the peace agreement.
Although there is no conflict of interest between humans and the tribe, they are willing to sign a peace agreement, but the signing of the peace agreement is actually not smooth, especially the dispute between the tribe and the night elves over the issue of Ashen Vale, in Tyrande's opinion, the tribe is better off withdrawing from Ashen Vale, but Thrall refuses to agree, because the tribe needs a lot of wood from Ashen Vale.
The spitting and bickering lasted for nearly two days, and Varian remained silent for some reason, but Gianna tried to reconcile the two sides during this time, and finally after Gianna made peace, the Night Elves and the Horde each took a step back and drew a line of control that was barely acceptable to both parties, and the three parties signed the agreement.
In addition to the peace agreement, there was a little episode in the past two days, when Varian came to visit, Claudia noticed something: "Varian, have you changed your weapon?" ”
Varian's current weapon was a metal greatsword with an orange body and a reddish glow, much larger than his previous two-handed greatsword, and the magic fluctuations emitted from the blade were a little stronger than his previous saber.
"Yes, the original greatsword had a lot of gaps in the battle with the Doomsday Lord, so it had to be sent to the dwarves for repair first." Varian explained as he cherished the blade, apparently he was very fond of the new weapon in his hand, "As for this sword, it was originally the weapon of the Doom Lord, and it became my trophy after I defeated him. ”
The weapons of the Doom Lord?
Claudia was a little curious to take a closer look at the sword, but Varian handed it to her and reminded, "This sword is very heavy, you may not be able to handle it." ”
Varian's words succeeded in arousing Claudia's competitive spirit, and the girl said slightly unconvinced: "Don't underestimate me, I'm a high-level paladin anyway, how can I not hold a sword." ”
"Then you try it, remember to be careful." Varian let go of his hand with a smile in his tone.
It's too small, it's so easy for you to carry it with one hand, and how heavy it can be.
"What is this, I played with my father's great sword when I was thirteen years old." Claudia took Varian's weapon unappreciatively, and then she felt more weight than she had ever imagined.
How could it be so heavy...... When!
Part of the greatsword fell to the ground, but fortunately Varian had prepared a weapon to catch it, so he didn't hurt anything else, such as furniture, flowers, flowers, and flowers, Claudia, or something.
At this moment, as soon as she finished her bold words, Claudia, who was originally full of confidence, was in a state of astonishment.
"Hahaha." Varian, who had Claudia's expression for the first time, couldn't help laughing, Claudia's originally white and tender face quickly turned red in laughter, and protested angrily: "Don't laugh at me, if I haven't fully recovered, I won't make a fool of myself!" ”
Varian forced a smile and patted the girl on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, okay, this is the weight of a man, you are not suitable for this kind of weapon, and when you return to Stormwind City, I will find a dwarven craftsman to help you build a two-handed longsword that suits you." ”
Claudia was still unconvinced: "There must be something wrong with this sword, my father's big sword is about the same size as this, but it is much lighter than this." ”
"Yes, because of the special metal casting, this sword is more than twice as heavy as other great swords." Varian confirmed the girl's claim, "But this sword is not only heavy, but also extremely strong, and the magic effect is extremely sharp, so most weapons are no match for it, and even my previous saber was destroyed by this sword." I heard the mage say that the demonic name engraved on this sword is Cataclysm, and Cataclysm will be my new weapon in the future. ”
I see, I said that even if I didn't fully recover, I wouldn't be able to hold a heavy sword.
Claudia was relieved, according to Varian's description, this sword is not only without a soul and strength increase, but also as hard and sharp as an artifact, in the case that Varian has not obtained an artifact suitable for him, this is indeed the most suitable weapon for him at this stage.
But this weapon is so heavy, won't it affect the agility of movement, knowing that it is one thing to be able to pick up a weapon, but it is another thing to use it in battle, even if you move slowly on the battlefield, you will be seriously injured or even killed, Claudia asked Varian about her concerns.
"Rest assured, this weight is just right for me." Varian had a strong confidence on his face, "I'm a warrior, and I don't have any special energy, I can only rely on my body, how can I do it if I'm not strong enough." ”
Claudia accepted the other party's statement, because the warrior only focuses on his own body and martial arts, these two aspects are indeed generally stronger than the paladin, but the warrior also has great flaws, as the silver hand said, it is difficult for a pure warrior to break through the limits of human beings, thinking of this, Claudia was a little worried about the other party's lifespan, and asked: "Varian, have you tried to learn the power of holy light or magic." ”
"I trust the sword in my hand more than that." Varian shook his head at first, then smiled again, "And I'm stupid too, I can't learn those things." ”
Claudia also laughed, and after laughing, she didn't continue to mention this matter, although it was a joke, but Varian's meaning was already very clear, he was going to take the path of a pure warrior, since he had already decided so, all Claudia had to do was to support the other party's choice, as for the problem of his lifespan, even if he couldn't break through, anyway, there were still decades left, Claudia could calmly go to Freya, the king of life, or other existences to see if there was a good way.
The day after the peace treaty was signed, the human soldiers began their journey to Theramore, and because Claudia's health had not fully recovered, she did not ride a horse, but stayed in Gianna's Offa carriage at Gianna's invitation.
Compared to Varian's simplicity outside of the military realm, Gianna has always been very good at enjoying life, in addition to daily food and clothing, she also has a full set of the most exclusive travel goods and dozens of Arcane Servants, ensuring that she can enjoy the treatment of a princess anywhere.
Before Gianna lived in the wilderness, it was a magic tent comparable to a small villa, and now her carriage is also not ordinary, the interior space is huge, with its own temperature regulation effect, no bumps can be felt, and there are two arcane magic servants to serve anytime and anywhere, so that Claudia is amazed by Gianna's happy life, and uses her leisure time to read books, Gianna, who loves knowledge, has not scavenged less books from the Night Elves on this trip.
"Sulamar was once the religious center of our people, the ...... of the Sisters of Elune and the High Priest who was the spokesperson of the Moon God."
Claudia closed the book, took two cream biscuits from the plate in the hands of the Offal servant and filled them into her mouth, and found that Gianna opposite her was not only very unusually unreadable or studying, but also changed her previous self-confidence and calmness, with a worried look, and the girl couldn't help but wonder:
"Your Highness, you seem to have some troubles?"
"Because it's almost time for Theramore." Gianna buried her head in a pillow and said weakly.
Theramore is a city built by Gianna, a home-like existence, but Gianna doesn't act like going home at all, more like going to the execution ground, is Gianna afraid of her father like me?
Claudia asked the question in her heart: "Is it because of His Majesty Dalin?" ”
"Yes, it's because of my father that I'm always a little worried about him." Gianna covered her forehead with her hand and made a headache.
Seeing this, Claudia tried to comfort the other party: "Your Highness, don't worry, you are so good, he hasn't seen you for so long, I guess he came to Theramore to miss you." ”
"I hope so." Gianna sighed again and stopped talking, and Claudia didn't ask, but the curiosity in her heart didn't fade.
Soon after, Claudia met the legendary King of Kul Tiras, Dalein Prodimore, a tall, burly man with a red face and flowing hair, dressed in the uniform of a naval officer, with two short muskets pinned to his waist, and a large pipe in his mouth, who looked less like a king and more like a naval officer or captain.
At this time, Varian and Dahlin were having a good conversation, and they were both leaders of the Alliance, Varian and Dahlin had known each other for many years, and had received a lot of help from Dahlin when he rebuilt the Stormwind King, and Kurtilas was an important trade partner of the Stormwind Kingdom, so the relationship between the two has always been good.
Gianna walked quickly to Dalin's side after getting off the carriage, don't look at Gianna in front of Claudia, but after seeing her father, she didn't hesitate to hug Dalin's arm and lied coquettishly, and Dain's daughter was also full of joy and doting from the bottom of her heart, and took out a few gifts from the entourage behind her to give Gianna, which made Claudia even more wondering, since the relationship between the father and daughter is so good, what is Gianna still worried about.
As a female companion in the same car with Gianna, Claudia also went to see Dalin, I don't know what Gianna said to Dalin, Dalin was very enthusiastic about Claudia, and took out a string of black pearls as a gift.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness, but this is too precious." Claudia hesitated a little, although she was a nobleman, when had she ever used this level of jewelry.
Dai Lin laughed: "Don't be so restrained, for a man at sea who owns the sea, this is not a valuable thing at all." ”
Varian also spoke: "Claudia, take it, this is the intention of the elders. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty Dalin." Now that Varian had spoken, Claudia did not continue to excuse herself, thanked and accepted it.
