Chapter 82: The Center of the Universe Is the Pink-Haired Girl (Part II)
Some people liked Terenus because he was an extremely benevolent king, and they believed that His Majesty's dovish policies would allow the alliance to recuperate after the Great War. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
More people hated Terenus because his kindness seemed to be misplaced, and because he interfered in almost everything in the Alliance, believing that Terenus was nothing more than a weak and power-hungry dictator.
……
Sonia was wondering what to give to Lorka for her sixteenth birthday, and her Highness had been running to a noble villa in Lordaeron lately. This made the maid Sonia both relieved and worried, relieved that Roka was finally able to communicate normally, and worried about what she had done.
Sonya, who never cared about the outside world, had no idea how the world was changing.
With the exception of Lordaeron and his staunch ally, the Kingdom of Kurtilas, the other five human nations were openly or implicitly opposed to the continuation of the Alliance—the separatist Kyrgyz and the Steinbly, who wanted to take advantage of the cracks, and the representatives of the two countries opposed it in the Coalition Parliament, vetoing every proposal of Lordaeron.
The old king of Alterac died, he left no heirs, and the country was now on the brink of civil war.
Dalaran's mages were figuring out how to shoot five fireballs at once, and they didn't care about the quarrels in the Council of the Alliance, and they didn't care that an ordinary mage named Kel'thugad hadn't shown up for a long time.
The Kingdom of Stormwind, which had been destroyed in the last war, rose again with the aid of the Alliance, and although the Kingdom of Lordaeron had selflessly helped them, they had to compete with Lordaeron for the political rights of the Alliance for the benefit of their own country.
The High Elves of Quel'Thalas have announced their withdrawal from the Alliance, saying they can't stand the stupid humans anymore.
Magni Copperbeard, the dwarven king of Ironforge, has been getting very drunk lately. Not long ago, his daughter, Princess Moira, actually eloped with the Black Iron Dwarven King, who was his mortal enemy! - 'Hopefully the Titan's hammer will crush the damned Thorrison (Black Iron Dwarven King),' the once-fearless Magni would say over and over again when he was drunk.
The Council of Craftsmen of Nomorigen abruptly recalled all the gnomes and closed off the city, and for a time the Coalition army lost almost all of its weapons development engineers, helicopter pilots, mortar crews, and nearly half of its steam tank crew. The Alliance's weapons factories and the Mech Legion were paralyzed at the same time, and no one knew what had happened to Nomorigan.
An incomparably powerful alliance seems to be plunged into darkness?
King Terenus didn't think so, believing that all difficulties were temporary.
He repeatedly compressed his sleep time, and handled every day in every detail, large and small government affairs.
He wrote long letters to the leaders of each of his allies, reminiscing about the good times when everyone worked together in past wars.
He showed his benevolence to his supporters and his strength to his opponents.
He worked hard to improve people's livelihood and diplomacy, and talked and discussed with every government officer and diplomat who was about to be sent abroad.
He read every Coalition Council Record verbatim, doing everything in his power to keep the Coalition intact.
The Lord of Eternal Time and Overwork joined forces to transform Terenus, and His Majesty the King of Lordaeron was unconsciously drooping from old age, a drab white covering his beard and countless furrows creeping up his cheeks.
Terenus couldn't remember how long he hadn't slept any more than he could remember how long he hadn't seen his friends. When he saw the pink head poking out of the door, he beckoned and squeezed out a smile.
"My friend, you've grown up." Looking at Roka in the prime of her youth, Terenus sighed.
When he first noticed Roka, Terenus, who thought the little girl was very funny, thought she was a joker.
"Xiaotai, you're getting old." Rocka frowned and said that she didn't like her friend's old appearance.
Later, Rotka used to come to the king to play, and she always said naïve and silly things, which brought a lot of laughter to Terenus, like a pet with a rich expression.
Terenus laughed at herself, "The years have always liked the new and hated the old, she favored every young man like you, and hated every old fellow like me. ”
Later, the little girl said 'I can be your friend' with a 'thank me' emoji. Terenus teased her about how she knew the king had no friends, and thought to herself that maybe it would be nice to have a child who told the truth.
"Don't talk about this, I'm here to tell you that I'm getting married."
At the mention of marriage, Rotka did not have the shyness of her peers on her face, but stretched out her small hand to Terenus, as if begging for a wedding gift.
Now, the old king felt like his daughter was married.
Terenus looked at the items on the desk, then took out a ring with the royal insignia of Lordaeron from a small box, and gently placed the ring on the palm of Rocca's hand and asked with a smile.
"Whose child is out of luck?"
Rocka rolled her eyes and replied, "It must have taken all the luck of a lifetime...... It's the boy in the Mograini family who was spoiled by his father. ”
"Oh?" Terenus sat up straight as his blood-red eyes widened, intrigued by how things would happen.
Finding this, Rocka said smugly: "At first, he didn't agree, and after being beaten by me a few times, he hid in the family villa, and then I went to their house every day to beat him, and he finally recognized my incomparable charm and cried and agreed." ”
"Hahaha! That's wonderful, my friend. Terenus's withered body curled up as he flapped the armrest of his chair and laughed.
"Hmph, you have to live well. Knowing that my future daughter wields the mighty power of the Mograine family and has the blood of both royal families, if your heir is a stupid king, then my daughter will definitely step on him to become the new queen. ”
"Why a daughter and not a son? Why not be queen yourself? ”
Terenus didn't mind Rocca's question, he had long been immune to sensationalism like a hundred ways to succeed in rebellion, and instead paid attention to the details that didn't matter.
"Of course, because my daughter will be very much like me, I can only accept such a near-perfect being as a queen. And as the queen's mother, the queen must also listen to me obediently, so that I am a super queen who is even more powerful than the queen! ”
Roka said with a look of stupidity on her face.
Terenus nodded in realization, but shook his head regretfully and said, "My child, I am sorry to tell you that I have a long time to live, and that Arthas will be a good king." ”
His Majesty grimaced and said, "You will never have a chance to rebel." ”
Terenus was a prophecy.
……
Duke Mograini and his youngest son, Darien, came to Lordaeron to report on his duties and spend the summer, and one day Darien told him aggrievedly, 'Daddy, I'm getting married, and if I die, don't be sad.' ’
The inexplicable old duke only learned what had happened after several inquiries, and just when he thought it was just a joke between children, the intervention of His Majesty made the joke come true.
At first, the loyal old duke pinched his nose and admitted the fact of the engagement, and the other party's status was not low, and he was recognized by the king as an adopted daughter before the marriage - he once thought that this was a means for the king to win over his family through marriage.
In the subsequent contact with Rocca, the old duke found that the other party had a straightforward and very bold personality (perhaps because he felt that there was no need to hide and be self-centered), which was very much to his appetite.
And most importantly, in the eyes of the old duke, who loved his young son, the relationship between Roka and Darien, who was favored by the king, was very good, and they even often exchanged fighting skills - it was always Roka who won, which deepened the old duke's affection for her even more.
It was a perfect political marriage, and everyone was happy.
The rest of the story is familiar as the orcs in the detention center revolt and a mysterious plague begins to wreak havoc in the northern lands.
Sonya, the maid who cared for Rose's upbringing, died, in the massacre that Arthas had carried out in Stratholme to keep out the spread of the plague.
His Majesty Lordaeron, Terenus, died, by the sword of his own son, who had returned from Northrend in triumph but had fallen into the arms of the Scourge.
The old Duke of Mograine, who held the Ashbringer in his hand, died, in the ambush of the Scourge of the Undead and Renault.
Darien and Rocca also died, in front of the Scourge army commanded by Arthas.
Too many people have died, and none of those who survived survived.
……
On the barren red earth, a huge pile of rocks was piled up abruptly.
The scorching flames erupted majestically from the center of Rocca, and the ground was burned red, as if it was about to melt.
"Burn it out! Burn it out! The great master of the little ghost Anroxian wants to burn everything! ”
The monster that spoke was very small, looking like a goblin burning with green flames, and he was dancing around with excitement.
The dark blue spirit floated in mid-air and respectfully asked, "What's wrong with you, my Highness." ”
"It's nothing, Sburnark, it's just a reminder of some boring old days."
Ignoring the green ** flame burning around the little ghost An Luoxian, Roka grabbed it with one hand and threw it at the nightmare that was screaming in the distance and spewing flames from his nostrils, and replied lightly.
"Exis, come out."
Roka said towards the empty space, her voice a little grumpy.
Before the presence of the name Ixis appeared, a hellhound covered in blood-red scale armor and covered in white bone spurs raised its tail and threw a bone spur into the clearing.
A creature that resembles a human woman, but with two horns on its head, wings on its back, and feet like sheep's hooves, appears in a somewhat embarrassed place that is otherwise empty, this is a succubus.
"Damn bitch, kill you!"
A succubus named Ixis threatens the Hellhounds and is about to attack when he is interrupted by Roka's words.
"Ixis, find a random fool to summon you, and then go to my dear daughter, and I won't have to teach you what to do."
"Okay, my sweet little contractor." Ixis, who wanted to make a few jokes, hesitated as she looked at the pile of rubble, and she hurriedly winked at Roka before disappearing into the sulphur-smelling air again.
Sensing that Ixis was gone, Roka walked over to the huge pile of rubble and kicked it.
"How long are you going to sleep, lazy servant."
The earth began to shake, and countless stones piled up out of thin air, and soon a rock giant was formed, roaring, and green flames erupted from its body.
An Luo, the imp who escaped from the nightmare's mouth, rolled at the feet of the Hellfire Giant first, and he shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"Let's go! Come on! The great master wants Hellfire Bar to follow her to burn those idiots! ”
