Chapter 36: My Cause Is Just!
After killing Captain Greenskin, Varian and Ciel ascend to the top deck of the Ironclad Ship, where they will soon face the final boss of the quest, Edwin Van Cleef.
"I hope Old Fan can give us a dark Defia breastplate......"
Varian made a wish as usual, then re-replenished the power blessing and other buffs for himself and Ciel, took a deep breath, and began to prepare for battle.
"No one dares to challenge the Brotherhood!" With a cry full of blood, Edwin swung the brutal barb in his hand and slashed at Varian.
When the battle began, several of Defia's black-clad guards joined the battle, and Varian was feeling a little struggling, as he was unable to fully cope with the simultaneous attacks of multiple enemies.
Varian could only try to dodge or parry Edwin's slash, and as for the attacks of the black-clad guards, he really couldn't dodge them, so he relied on the armor on his body to resist a few times, as long as he didn't get attacked to the vital parts.
Hill ramps up her attacks, first shooting "Viper Spikes" at each enemy to keep them damaged, and then occasionally casting "Multi Shots" to attack them at the same time.
Of course, Ciel's main target is Edwin, because if Edwin is not dealt with soon, the Black Guards will appear in a steady stream.
Ciel's attack was so fierce that Varian couldn't completely contain the hatred of all his enemies, and two black-clad guards had already left him and turned and ran towards Ciel.
Varian only had time to cast the "Hammer of Sanctions" to stun one of them, but the other was unable to control it.
However, Hill was very calm in the face of the approaching black guards, and a light "stumble" made the black guards unable to keep up with her.
Hill dodged back and forth nimbly, as if he was dancing, but the bow and arrow in his hand continued to shoot at Edwin at the same frequency as he had just attacked, without any impact in the slightest.
Varian breathed a sigh of relief to see that Ciel had easily pinned down the black-clad guard, he still underestimated the Ranger's abilities.
Although the Ranger and the Hunter are both good at shooting with bows and arrows, they are not exactly the same, and the Ranger is actually very good at melee combat.
For example, Wen Lesa, the eldest of the three sisters of Windranger, can pick up a long sword and open a matchless. (In the official novel The Age of the Dragons, Winlessa loses her bow shortly after her appearance, only to be slashed from head to tail with a long sword.) )
In the original timeline, when the Undead Scourge invaded Quel'Thalas, Sylvanas was also able to directly slice through ghouls and crypt demons with dual knives. (See the official MV "Elegy for the Upper Elves")
With one less enemy by his side, Varian's defensive pressure is much less, and he can already resist Edwin's attack steadily.
"You're all worthless scum!" Edwin shouted slogans as he slashed at Varian, but could only end up slashing at his shield.
However, Ciel's arrows always accurately pierced Edwin's head and neck, and the hammer in the shape of a bone stick in Varian's hand also smashed into Edwin's body from time to time, causing him some damage.
Under the combined attack of the two, Edwin's HP continued to drop.
"You stupid king, you are the one who caused all this!" After shouting the last line, Edwin finally collapsed on the deck of the ironclad ship.
Hey? Why did he change his lines?
Varian was a little puzzled, he was playing the game in his previous life to Edwin's "Fool, our cause is just!" This line was still very impressive, but he didn't expect to change a new line that he had never heard before in the system copy.
However, this was not the time to doubt, and they still had a few black-clad guards to deal with.
Without Edwin, the Blackguards would have been much easier to deal with, and it didn't take long for Varian and Ciel to easily kill them and end the fight.
Varian walked over to Edwin's corpse and continued to think about the question.
Edwin, like the other dungeon monsters, is just an ordinary projection, and does not have the memory and intelligence of the ontological body, so the change of lines can only be due to his own identity.
Although Varian is still only a prince, he will become the king of Stormwind in the future, and the "stupid king" that Edwin scolded before he died should be Varian from other timelines.
Varian looked at Edwin silently, he was also a tragic figure, since escaping Stormwind and coming to the Death Mines, he had only one goal left: to destroy the Stormwind City he had built with his own hands.
Edwin lives for revenge and dies with hatred, which is both Stormwind's luck and his misfortune.
However, Varian will not let this happen in his future, and he has made a secret decision: I will definitely change the fate of you and your members of the Brotherhood of Masons, you only need to make good use of your architectural talents and ingenuity in my kingdom, and I will show you that my cause is just in the future!
Perhaps sensing Varian's determination, Edwin dropped the piece of equipment that Varian had previously wished for: the Dark Defia armor.
————
Dark Defia Armor
Chest _ leather armor
92 armor
+11 stamina
+3 Agility
+4 Strength
Required Level: 19

Varian was a little surprised and a little surprised: "Hey, it's really out." Okay, Lao Fan, since you are so good, then wait for me to cover you in the future......"
As a result, Ciel's body is equipped with 3 Dark Defia sets, and another set stat is activated: +5 Arcane Resistance.
When Ciel was equipped with the Dark Defia armor, the black leather armor outlined her beautiful figure, making Varian's nose heat up a little.
Varian couldn't help but start imagining that if he accidentally hit purple epic quality equipment such as "Robe of Insight" and "Robe of the Ruler" in the future, would he be able to let Ciel change it into a show for himself?
That's epic equipment, what a waste if you don't wear it......
Thinking of this, Varian's blood pressure in his nasal cavity began to rise continuously......
Hill was a little unnatural by Varian's hot eyes, and a flush appeared on his fair face. However, with the hood covered, it was not discovered by Varian.
Hill folded his hands around his chest embarrassedly, blocked Varian's gaze, and said angrily: "What are you looking at, your eyes are so obscene, do you want me to give you two arrows?" ”
"I want you to ......show me the Robe of Insight," Varian subconsciously said what was in his mind.
"Insight robes? What is that? Ciel looked at Varian suspiciously, the Ranger's keen instincts giving her a sense that what Varian said was certainly not a good thing.
Varian didn't dare to continue to die, and quickly said, "It's nothing, it's just a piece of equipment, don't take it personally." ”
