Dawn Before the Storm 3

Aside from what happened that night, everything was fine, as I didn't hear any rumors about me and Marlan, which convinced me even more that Kael'thas didn't mean to harm me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Yes, although I have some contradictions with him, it is undeniable that he is a person who puts the interests of the country first like me, and he still does not want to have contradictions between our two countries after all... I think it should be like this.

But in the end, he is still very pitiful, the person he likes doesn't have any feelings for him, and it's really uncomfortable to see the man he likes attached to all kinds of means. I shouldn't have done this to him, but there's no way to do it, I believe that a prince's endurance is still stronger than ordinary people...

I hadn't seen Kael'thas before, so I wasn't thinking about him. After the werewolf was put in order, Ronin and Wen Lesa and I left Dalaran. After adding the passage of time, I didn't remember this prince anymore, but just waited for the good news to come...

The days had finally worn out, and the week before that day, I had received news that Kul Tiras was ready for Gianna's marriage, and I was even more excited to forget about those troubles.

It seems that Dai Lin still didn't embarrass us after all, in order to deal with this big event, he will not slack off, I naturally personally supervise the matter of marriage, although my mother has already taken care of it, but I have no reason not to participate in it personally.

This is true of the royal city, and so is the city below. Almost all of the Northern Union cities celebrate the festival with lights. In fact, in previous years, it would be celebrated on that festival, especially after the disaster of more than a year has passed, and there is no reason for the people not to do such a happy event at the stall.

It was because of this happy event that the guests also arrived one after another before that day, and I also greeted the guests, not only the ministers, but also the Silver Hand and congratulatory envoys from various countries, and I don't know why, most of them arrived together on the first five days of the winter solstice.

First of all, Muradin, who had set out early, had stayed with Faric for a long time by sea, and suddenly told me that he would stay for a long time. Naturally, I'd love him make that decision, because if he likes me, it will bring us closer to them, even though we're already close to the dwarves.

Of course, as long as there are no alcoholic accidents, I thought. But just as I was telling him to excuse myself and getting ready to receive the other guests, Muradin's mission suddenly occurred to me...

One of the most important reasons why he came to me was to hand me a handwritten letter from his brother King Magni, and I really sighed that he had almost forgotten such an important matter, and that he had been in Gilneth for so long on such an errand, and that I felt even more incredible, were two letters, one for me and one for my father, and in terms of the degree of marking of the envelope, mine was a private letter, and my father's was an important matter, and he actually handed it to me casually, which did not fit the system.

Maybe if it were someone else, I might wonder if he did it on purpose to drive a wedge between me and my father, but he and I know him very well, and maybe he thinks that I can represent my father completely, just as he can represent his brother's trust in him. I didn't reproach the casual dwarf for this, but gave the letter to my father and explained the process, and then opened my letter.

In addition to congratulatory congratulations, this letter still has some content, and King Magni would like to attend it in person, but because he did not attend King Varian's wedding that year, it is inconvenient for him to come. Yes, as a dwarven king, he knew the trade-offs well, and his king was certainly not very good compared to his gluttonous brother and his similar courtiers.

This is the case with the dwarves, and the same strange thing that seems strange to us humans is the representative of the Brute Hammer Dwarves, Lord Furstad. Yes, if I hadn't known what he looked like, I would have even thought that the more well-dressed dwarf next to him was their leader. Originally, he was celebrating me on behalf of the whole Brute Hammer, but it was obvious that his old friends Wen Lesa and Luo Ning talked to them endlessly, and even ignored me, which made me very embarrassed in front of the guests.

Of course, I wasn't angry in my heart, because being close to them was tantamount to me, and his behavior was far stronger than that of some duplicitous visitors.

On this day, Quel'Thalas's envoy also came, but mostly out of some face, only to bring some congratulatory gifts, and even to the facial expressions almost without any expression.

But it will be enough for me if they come, for they are coming, and I can let them take my letters to the king.

Of course, this is not the most angry for me, after all, it doesn't matter what the attitude of some people who have nothing to do with me is, but Stormwind's approach makes me a little unpleasant. I had expected Varian and his sister to return, but was told by their emissary, Field Marshal Windsor, that they would not be able to come because of state schedules.

The emissaries of King Solas of Riptide Castle all said that their king would be there on time, and it chilled me if they didn't come. And I thought he would have a better reason, such as his sister's immobility, but in fact he said it was for state affairs, but there was no better opportunity to deal with state affairs than such a gathering. What's even infuriating is that Windsor actually took advantage of the fact that no one was around, and asked me a question in private that made me feel very angry.

"Do you think those visions will happen?"

"Did Varian tell you?" I frowned, immediately recognizing what kind of illusion Windsor was talking about, not wanting Varian to discuss these things with his minister. Perhaps Windsor saw my thoughts, and he immediately told me something to ease my rift with their king.

"Yes, he said it to me privately at the meeting, because I have an old relationship with Khadgar..."

"Since you're a friend of Khadgar, you must know this. "I reached out and showed him the ring on my index finger, and I thought I'd be turning to my ring finger soon, or maybe putting it on Gianna's hand....but that's not the point. Khadgar was parting with a messenger to bring it back. So I think you know for sure my relationship with him... It's not ordinary. ”

"He's reminded me many times... When you were young, he saw you as... Hope for the future alliance. ”

Windsor stopped talking, and I was worried that he knew about it, and that Khadgar had been worrying about me...'Did he tell Windsor!' I thought worriedly.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Wendthor interrupted my thoughts.

"What do you know?" I asked nervously, but received no substantive answer.

"Nothing..."

Wendsol still didn't want to say anything about himself, and I was even more frightened when I didn't know it, but he chose to hide it, so I really couldn't ask anything, so I could only show him what I knew.

"Well, there are always a lot of things that people can't do, and those illusions are their last resort. "I regretted it when I said this, because I could have understood that I was trying to kill him, and he seemed to think so.

"The last resort?" Wendthor pondered, but it made me even more convinced that he knew something. "Do you think we can do without that...'choice'?"

"Do you believe that Khadgar wouldn't have stepped into the Dark Gate when he learned that he was going to die in the Outlands?" I replied in a reeked voice, but it seemed like telling him that I would also make some forced choices, such as killing him..... even if he knew about it, I really didn't want to assassinate this Stormwind Marshal. But what else can I say? No way, no matter how he understands it, let's say some real thoughts by himself. "I think you must know in your heart how he made the decision and what it was for. ”

"Yes... Even if he knew he might fail, he would still have to bring back those artifacts. ”

"Yes, exactly. Even if he knew that he might have sacrificed his life in the past in vain, he would resolutely step into it, because this is our belief, what will happen in the future, what should be borne by himself must be borne by himself, and do not let himself be stopped for some illusions, tied hands and feet, otherwise the end is likely to be worse than what we see. ”

"I see..."

He nodded firmly at me, but I didn't know what he understood. But I know he took my word for it, maybe. But I really don't want to talk to him about it.

"By the way, my sister and Varian are alright?"

"Well, it's alright, it's alrightβ€”" Wendthor said without thinking, but stopped again when he was about to say something.

"What's wrong with them?"

"Your sister is actually more than four months pregnant, and he is fine now, and the king's temperament has become much softer..."

"I already knew it last time at Ironforge, and I'll be relieved if everything is okay. "I now understand a little bit about the reasons why they didn't come, and it is true that some thoughts and ceremonies are far less important than the stability of the offspring. I believe that Wendsol also said the wrong thing just now, that is, the reason why they didn't come was not because of the busy state affairs, but because of this reason.

But there was another question that made me worry, why did she find out she was pregnant for three months, was it because she was overly worried, or was it because she wasn't having a good time? I thought with some concern, but I knew that as a powerful minister of Stormwind, Windsor would never tell me, so I didn't ask again.

"Well, then I will go to see your father. ”

"Please. ”

We didn't talk about anything, so he went to the inner court, but my heart was a little unhappy, one was because my sister, of course, compared to my speculation, I was most worried about myself, and I really didn't know if he would tell my father about that illusion. But after thinking about it for a while, he realized that with the character he had just shown, he should not, after all, such a thing should not be revealed by the mouth of a foreign minister, because if he really said it, his father would definitely not believe it, and it would only deepen the contradiction between the two countries.

Yes, it should be so, although I am glad to think so, but after this incident, plus the whole day of entertaining guests, I feel very tired, so I went back to my room at night and lay down in bed early.

At other times, Ronin and Winlessa would have come to me at this time, but because of the arrival of the Hammer Dwarves, they went to find their old friends, as well as Thassarian and Melwin, who had taken over as captains of the guard, and they also managed the law and order for the safety of the guests.

Without the visit of my friends and worrying about some things, I had to rest, after all, I might have to work on some things tomorrow, so I went to bed early to recover my strength.

Perhaps there is nothing more refreshed than sleeping, but this time it made me even more worried... Because someone is already waiting for me here.

................

I don't know when, when I became conscious, I was already in a dense forest, yes, I don't remember where I went where there was such a natural beauty, but I still remember how many times I have been here, and the last time was definitely a deep memory.

"It's an emerald dream!"

I was amazed to realize this reality, and I knew very well who would have the ability and will to get me here...

"You remember me here. "A slender figure gradually came into view of my eyes and formed a physical picture. I didn't know that such a close distance could be so blurry, and when I rubbed my eyes, her figure was completely proud... After all, this is the second time he has been 'invited' here.

"Ysera... Queen of the Green Dragon. I almost fell to my knees in the face of his presence, but I couldn't help but look up because of her smile.

"Yes, you remember my looks. ”

"Of course I won't forget your style, and I also know that this time is definitely not as simple as a dream..."I remember the scene in the dream, yes, the time Alekstasa gave Gianna the medicine to save me is enough to show that it is true, but if this time it is the same as the last time, maybe I will be trapped here forever by her this time.

As I watched her walk towards me, I couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Hehe, it seems that you are afraid of our dragons. ”

"No, not the Red Dragons, and I certainly don't think you Green Dragons will be like the Deathwings. ”

I seemed to have committed a taboo, and just as I was finishing, her human form immediately took shape, and soon took shape, and a green dragon as huge as Alexstrasza came into view... There was an angry look in his eyes. I remember mentioning Deathwing last time, and it didn't make her so angry, why did it happen this time.

"Arthas, do you know why I came to see you?" but she quickly regained her human form, and asked me calmly, yes, I really didn't know that her feelings could be so fickle, and I could only be more careful about it.

"Listen up, Queen. ”

I knew I wanted to get out of here, that it would be futile to do anything, and that the only way was to find a way to get her sympathy and let me go. But for now, I can't, unless I can wait for Alexstasa to show up like I did last time...

"Don't wait for my sister to come and save you, he is now raising their offspring with Cleostraz, Ronin's master, Crassus. Ysera said sharply, as if she understood my thoughts. "That's right, this is the Emerald Dream, no thought fluctuations can escape my eyes, of course, for you, I can clearly see your thoughts without such an environment. ”

"I know... And what are you bringing me here for?"

"You should also know that our Green Dragons are also very scarce, and my spouses are also old, and I want to get a new batch. ”

She didn't hesitate to say what she thought, and I can guess a few of them, but I still don't have a hobby as a human being...

"You're a dragon, how is this possible..."

"Many dragons weren't before, such as Clyostraz, who was a bird tens of thousands of years ago, and Rhea, the she-dragon you know, who transformed into a goblin and was the widow of the bird god Evenna 10,000 years ago. They were all turned into dragons later, of course, only my sister has that ability, as long as you have the original intention, I will beg my sister to turn you into a green dragon as my new spouse, so that you can also transcend life and death, and among our green dragons there is the same status as Clyostraz among the red dragons. ”

"But you know I'm very reluctant to do it..."

"You can't let go of your status, or are you someone you care about. She smiled, as if it didn't make her angry, or perhaps she knew I was going to say it, and before I could answer, she told me something that worried me even more. "Perhaps, you will soon lose everything you have as a human..."

"No, you can't be like death, you're a guardian dragon, you can't anger me or them. "I was nervous, and yes I didn't bother to compare her to Deathwing, and I didn't offend her this time, but I didn't care about that anymore, especially when she told me something that made me even more shocked.

"I'm not going to do anything like that, I'm just warning you that some things happen faster than you think. ”

"Faster than I thought?"

"Didn't you tell the others that you saw the Doomsday Prophecy?" the Green Dragon Queen waved her hand, and the image of me talking to Varian surfaced. Yes, I thought a lot of things were secret, but it didn't seem like they could be hidden at all.

"It's... How fast?"

"I can't say, but I know that if you had come to me in suspended animation, maybe this disaster wouldn't have happened. When she said this, it seemed to me that she was negotiating terms for me, that is, if I could stay with her, she would settle it for me, but there were some things in myself that I could not give up.

"Or I can stop it myself, thank you for the reminder!"

I didn't agree with her suggestion, yes, if she did get angry with Gianna, I don't know if I would be able to hold on, but fortunately she didn't seem to be angry.

"You still can't let go of her, no wonder she's working hard for you all along. ”

"Yes. I will never, and I hope you will allow me. "I knew she knew what I was thinking, so I didn't explain anything, I just pleaded with her...

"Okay, then I'll give you a chance. If you can beat me, I'll let you go back. ”

"How could I, a human, defeat you. ”

"I'll tell you about the weakness of our dragons. She pointed to her neck as she spoke, "That's it, I'm sure you know, when you were at war with the orcs, the griffon dwarves often attacked there, and the orcs also knew that they were better able to control in that position, even if we were in human form." ”

"But knowing your weakness, I still can't beat you!"

"Last time you dared to challenge Gianna with demonic powers in Northrend, why didn't you dare to fight me this time? "Ysera's face was a little serious, I think she was serious..."You can only go back if you defeat me, you can do it." ”

"Oh well..."

I know that I am definitely not her opponent, but I have no choice but to bite the bullet, maybe I can take care of her feelings about me, and give me a chance when I am weak, but as for the weakness she said, is it really like what she said? And if not, then I really don't have a chance.

I didn't think much of it, but rushed to attack her. Yes, at this stage, I watched her stand motionless, maybe what I was attacking was just her illusion, but it always felt like she was standing there like that, and I didn't know if I would catch a void or catch a copy. As my hand gripped her neck, and in her pained expression, I recognized that this was her true nature, exuding the same power as Isera I had touched. It just surprised me that she didn't do anything, watching my hands tighten and tighten towards her so much that she couldn't breathe...

"Is that you?" I let go of my hand and put her down, and she gulped in the air like a weak woman, which made me even more convinced. "Why don't you fight back?"

"Because I know you can't bear to hurt me. ”

"But there's a chance I'll miss it. ”

"Perhaps, but the fact that you didn't do that, I'm relieved. ”

"Are you relieved?"

"Yes, you can still care about me when I am weak, it seems that you still have an eye on my safety in your heart. ”

"Perhaps, but I want you to let me go, okay?"

I asked her again, and she sighed and nodded.

"But I warn you that something could happen to you in this disaster. ”

"I want you to know my choice, and I won't back down because I'm in danger!"

"Yes, I know you'll choose that way, but I just don't want to ask..."

Ysera was a little gloomy, yes, I knew she was interested in me, but I didn't know why, like an old friend. She didn't say, and I didn't ask, after all, I was still afraid that she would turn back, and the sooner I left this, the better.

"Then please let me go. ”

"By the way, I once promised someone that I would help you hide your thoughts from prying eyes. ”

"That's a thank you. "Yes, I've always wanted to have that ability, and now I'm getting it, but the excitement came to an abrupt end.

He also said that if you are unfortunate enough to be controlled by someone else, that power will also deprive you of some sensitive memories, because you know a lot of things... Some cannot be known by demons.

"You also think I'm going to be controlled. "I know that's what she said... When I killed my father, I didn't expect it to happen....but before I could think about it, Ysera comforted me, and yes, she could see my thoughts.

"It's just possible, but you know, I have to take precautions, after all, I can't keep you. ”

"It's natural... Please also... You let me go back" I reaffirmed my desire, but before I could finish it, I saw everything blur and disappear completely, and just as all the colors were shrouded in darkness, I heard only a voice echo in my ears.

"I hope you remember this dream. ”
