Chapter 57: The Splendor of the Paladin (Part II)
We arrived at this closed training ground, and everything seemed to feel like it used to be, but it wasn't as lively as it used to be. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Indeed, who would come here except for us who used to be. People with status don't like to fight, and ordinary soldiers can only train outdoors, which makes this place deserted. It's just that because of the royal facilities, they are still cleaned as clean as new.
Just when I was nostalgic, I seemed to have forgotten one thing, there were only inferior training swords here, and now let's take up such weapons and fight, it's like playing with a twig.
"I forgot to bring my saber. ”
"Sabre? Did you know that Varian was in Lothar's hand the sword of the Ashkandi Brotherhood, and that kind of decorative sword was simply not a good fight. ”
Thassarian looked at me in surprise, and he probably didn't think I would make such a mistake. But another friend knows how to compensate.
"Then take this. "I was a little embarrassed that Faric threw me his sword, for it seemed that his current master, Faric, had not yet tried it with others, but I had often used it, and that he was like my sword. No way, who told me that I don't even have a decent sword now.
But when it comes to swords, I even think of something even sadder, for we don't seem to have a single weapon in Lordaeron that can compete with the Blade of Danas, or the greatsword of Lothar, or the Tideblade of the Admiral, or the Scorching Sword of the High Elf King. Only the sword with the red dragon's head like the hilt that Crassus gave to Faric can give us some faces, but in terms of fame, it is obviously impossible to surpass those.
Maybe I really need Frost Sorrow... I couldn't help but shake my head at the thought of this, and it just so happened that Karegos came to me.
"Gianna told me that you need my help. ”
"Well, I need you to deal with some emergencies. I nodded, and then admonished the Blue Dragon Mage. "Varian is here in a moment, and you're going to have to give me an honorific title.
"Of course, Your Highness. "Karegos bowed to me like a subordinate. And when I saw that he was able to make such a move, a sense of superiority arose, and there was really nothing more exciting than making the arrogant dragons bow their heads to him.
I thought about it for a moment, and then I came back to reality.
Actually, I didn't ask Gianna to call him over, but since she can have her own independent knowledge and ideas on some things, it is really good, and her choice is very wise, compared to Ronin, Karegos is indeed more stable.
"Very well, do you know my plan?"
"Understand, as long as I'm here, you can fight Varian with confidence. ”
"Yes," I nodded in satisfaction, not only for him, but also for Gianna's arrangement.
And at this very time, Varian will also be here.
"Arthas, I don't think I kept you waiting. ”
"Of course, I never thought you'd run away. I smiled and nodded, and flashed my sword. "I'd like to see if you're rusty, King of Stormwind. ”
"Of course, I also want to see if Prince Lordaeron is not worthy of his name. With that, Varian drew the greatsword that Lothar had left him. "But I'm afraid I'll hurt you with a real sword. ”
"Don't worry about that. I pointed to Karegos. I have a powerful mage here who can guarantee that we will not be harmed.
Varian then looked at the Blue Dragon Mage, and perhaps recognized something in his deep eyes.
Varian must have had contact with some powerful mages, such as Medivan and some members of the Council of Tiris, and I don't think a king like him who has seen the world will be impressed by the power of the Blue Dragon Mage. But in fact, he still made the King of Stormwind feel a wave of palpitations and envy.
"I thought there were only a few of you in Lordaeron's new talent, but I didn't expect..."Varian shook his head with regret. "You Lordaeron are really talented, are there any other capable people?"
"You'll all see it in the battle of the Blackstone Tower. I replied proudly, and then returned to seriousness. "Let's get down to business and pick up your sword. ”
"Then you're welcome," Varian said as he lunged at me, and as I fended off his attack, the others dodged out of the way, and the duel began.
At the beginning of the plan, I thought that a king like him, who was busy with politics all day, would be negligent in his swordsmanship. But the reality is not like this, I can even feel that his strength is on par with Dai Lin, especially the strength is much better than the admiral, plus his giant sword, which puts me at a disadvantage when I want to compete with him.
In fact, my strength is not much weaker than his, but the sword in my hand, although extremely strong, is at best a saber, and it cannot exert my due strength at all.
"Arthas, it seems that just because your men are strong doesn't mean you're strong. ”
"Not necessarily. ”
In the face of Varian's provocative prompts, I had no choice but to revert my strategy, not to fight him with strength but to skill.
My light armor and short sword did give me a head start, and maybe he recognized that I would make this choice, but to his surprise, the slight sputter of sparks in the sword still made the unwitting Varian suffer a little. After a few rounds of fighting, Varian realized something.
"Arthas, your sword is special. ”
"Yes, it's a sword whose origin no one knows, but you'd be wrong to think that this is the only special. ”
"Interesting, said. Varian attacked me again, and I dodged with my agile frame and strong, light armor. This made Varian very depressed. Perhaps he was well aware of the nature of my armor.
"You're wearing elven armor," Varian was even more shocked when he saw the logo on my clothes. "I didn't expect them to make you a special armor. ”
"You're not the only one who has the relics of your heroes. I shook my head and explained. "My clothes were supposed to have been made for Tulayan by Urelia, Winlessa's sister. ”
"She gave you such a precious thing," Varian said, looking at Winlessa, who nodded in response to the Stormwind King's doubts, and at this time, he was playing abusive with me, just like his character
"You didn't snatch it from Luo Ning's hands with a dead face, did you? ”
"Varian, your attempts to provoke me like this don't work for me. "As I spoke, I launched a second round of attacks on him, and at the same time as I launched my strategy, I pretended to show my anger, but in fact all my plans were at this moment, and I spat at the floor, which was my signal to Ronin. At this moment he will telepathically transmit the message to Gianna, and then his sister will follow her to come here using teleportation and let her see this scene....I pretend to fail.
I slashed at him like an axe like a reckless man, and Varian smirked his sword from the bottom up, sending my sword flying straight into the air with great momentum.
For a couple of grapplers, losing a weapon means nothing less than losing a match. But theory is theory, and it is often inadvertently given wrong guidance. That's right, Varian swung me away with his sword, and I knew he was trying to put his sword around my neck to make me throw in, but because he was confident that I had lost, he didn't pay attention to my preparations.
My sister screamed when she saw that I had lost my weapon and was about to be struck by the sword, and ran towards me, knowing that my sister would be desperate to protect my only brother, and I laughed when I heard her cry, because I knew that everything was as I thought, so I suddenly used to use my sword at this moment to spin and roll behind him before his sword swung over, and took out the dagger that Sylvanas had given me on his lap and touched the armor in the heart behind Varian. Thinking that he would put the sword on my neck, he stood there in a daze, not moving.
"You're losing, Varian. ”
"Unexpectedly, you also learned the moves of an assassin. Varian reluctantly put away the greatsword, and he was very dissatisfied with this kind of loss, especially his father Ryan, who was stabbed in this way. And that's what I want, to make him think of the scene he least wants, the only way to make him remember his loved ones....
On the other hand, my sister's expression couldn't keep up with our offensive and defensive rhythm at all, and she still rushed towards me with a concerned face, and my friends didn't stop my sister under my arrangement. They knew that I had won when she approached me, at least I assured them of that.
Her caring, coupled with Varian's dreams, only reminded him of another image of her, a gracious one.
And while he was looking at Sister Kalia affectionately, her sister also seemed to subconsciously recognize something. The eyes of the two people unconsciously touched each other.
"Let me introduce my sister Kalia, King Varian of Stormwind. ”
As soon as I said this, the two of them nodded to each other inintuitively, and everything was as I had planned, as if our existence was much more redundant, so Gianna, who also recognized this, immediately found a way to let us leave.
"By the way, my father wants you to have a banquet with his old Ministry, Arthas. ”
"Yes, good. "As soon as I agreed, Luo Ning teleported us to his courtyard using teleportation. Only the two of them, who had not yet reacted, were left to continue in the training ground.
Yes, that's my whole plan.
"Everything went well, thanks to what you think about. ”
Winlessa smiled at me, and Ronin signalled her concern.
"Really, I'm still a little worried that they're going to be depressed, and we're going to be too impulsive to do that. ”
"No, Varian should have a crush on his sister. After I put away the dagger, I unconsciously took Gianna, who was very familiar with me, into my arms and told me what I knew. "And he knows our intentions, and with the favor we have given Lordaeron, he will not easily refuse my sister. ”
"But Her Royal Highness the Princess, she..."
Luo Ning expressed his concern again, but was quickly denied by Gianna, who is my sister's best friend, who knows my sister's true thoughts best.
"Don't worry, in fact, she can't bear to marry herself off for a long time"
"Well, a girl from the Holy Light Faith family will definitely like a paladin. The blue dragon, who was not very informed, unabashedly said his knowledge, and this made Falik feel even more shy. Although Karegos recognized Falik's strangeness, he thought of it as a different one. "By the way, your sword is still in the training ground, I'll go get it for you. "Yes, the Blue Dragon Mage is also very much that sword. So he rightly thought that this was the reason for Falik's unhappiness.
Falick saw that he was being noticed. There was even more silence on his face. The contradiction in his heart simply did not allow him to answer the Blue Dragon Mage's question.
Seeing my best friend's sad face at this moment, I can indeed deeply understand the pain, but how can I comfort myself, everything is contrary to his feelings. And just as I was about to speak, Gianna broke away from my embrace, walked in affectionately into Falick, and took his hand.
"I'll take you there. ”
"Well..."
Then she cast a stealth spell, and then disappeared without a trace after a magic circle.
