Chapter 41: Light and Shadow (I)
"I don't think you've seen it with your mind reading, I'm talking about this....you've not only seen the future, but you've certainly seen some of the past. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Absolutely. β
"That's... What would you do?"
"Do what I'm supposed to do....know why I asked Karegos to send it back. β
"To be able to keep me alive now?"
I asked my dear friend carefully, and he couldn't answer calmly in the hope that he would retract his state. But if he really insists on attacking me, I don't even know if I need to resist. Or maybe I should think about it now, because at this moment he is already condensing his orb.
I've seen similar spells, yes, a few years ago when Lordaeron was fighting the Horde, exactly the same one Khadgar had created, and many times I thought he was going after me, but they all ended up shooting at the orcs who were supposed to take me down.
And I thought I had already calmed down..... but time has passed, and I always feel that if I give up what I have, it will really make me feel very unwilling, but for this person, I really can't imagine that I will take out my own weapon, although I have wanted to beat him up more than once or twice because I don't remember trivial things now...
If I choose to resist, I know that if I hold out for a while, I will have a good chance of winning if I get the attention of the guards, but... It would also mark a possibility that he would take another fate, and that he would even be executed, and Winlessa's fate would not be much better. And that's not all. Maybe it's a sign that I'm going to that fate too...
I've been thinking about it all the time, and if it weren't for the vision that Garona saw, I don't think she would end up walking with Khadgar. And it was at that moment, the moment I saw that I assassinate King Lane, that the orcs decided their fate in the end, or I am at this juncture now, and it all depends on whether I make a move on him, and if I make a move on my best friend, it is also destined that I will also stab my own people with frost sorrow in the near future.
I was overwhelmed by the dilemma, and now I finally feel the curse of seeing the future. Maybe those things were predestined when I realized the future. If it can only be broken at a huge price, then I really should pay for it.
"I hope you'll take care of Gianna for me, andβ" I finally told him my last words. I closed my eyes and bowed my head, not choosing any resistance.
"I try. Luo Ning didn't wait for me to finish, and impatiently interrupted the continuation of my words. I really didn't expect him to answer so simply, anyway, we still have a deep friendship, even if I become a dead rider of all evils, he will not leave a tear of regret, but hope that I will die. Or maybe he chooses his grief only after everything has passed, and I haven't done anything yet.
Or maybe I'm worried that I'll regret it, yes, I'm still struggling to resist him now, and my sense of justice now is just hoping that everything will end as soon as possible. "Then what are you waiting for!" I yelled at him with my eyes closed, sweat dripping all over my body. And at this moment, I didn't feel the burning heat of the spell impact on me, but was stretched out by his warm right hand to my shoulder. Maybe everything is too much for me, perhaps....
"I was just tempting, Your Highness the Prince. When I looked up at my best friend again, the orb in his hand had disappeared without a trace. "I really can't imagine you doing something like that,
"I can't imagine it too, but I can't help it...."I pondered my face,
"If you really change, then I will definitely stop it, find a way to stop it...."
"You don't know he's ..... powerful. I sighed at Luo Ning and my fate, but thinking back to my faith, the faith of a human being, I still mustered up the courage to urge Luo Ning, "It's going to be too late." My friend. β
"Then why don't you kill yourself?" Ronin asked rhetorically, but he didn't wait for me to answer before he said what he knew, "It's not that I thought I could change. β
"Yes," I looked at Luo Ning with some despair, and in my heart I was eager for him to give me an affirmative answer, "can I still change?"
"Everything will be doomed after the vision, and it is already too late. Ronin shook his head with difficulty, and I could feel the sadness of this friend. Yes, this is his real affection for me, at least some regret. But this is nothing for the so-called future in the future. I looked at his hesitation, and the sense of justice in my heart still felt that I had to urge him to complete some righteous missions.
"Then why don't you change, like you can end my life now. "I don't think I can fully control my body without the will of justice, so I opened my heart to him. But he received a surprise answer.
"I never thought I'd do anything to you, Arthas," Ronin looked at me with a determined look before uttering something that surprised me. "Even if you actually did something like that. β
"Isn't that enough?" I was shocked by his claims, I really couldn't imagine that he would protect me even if I did something like that? Or "Can those apparitions be changed?"
"I hope so," Ronin shook his head in pain, "I asked Nozdorm, and he told me that not even Medivan, Egwen, or even the Xeon Sargeras had escaped the gears of fate. β
"Yes, it should have happened...", I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and instead turned my anger to my words at Ronin. "And you're willing to follow a villain like me?"
"At first, I was hesitating... Hesitated for a long time. But Nozdorm told me not to be blinded by the illusions of the future, or the situation would only turn out worse than the illusions. That's what he asked me to pass on to you."
"Tell me?" I looked questioning again, but I wasn't in the mood to understand the true meaning of the sentence at this point, "but what could be better than this." "I sat on the ground in a trance, and once upon a time I tried to avoid allowing myself to recall this understanding, but now all the imprints have smashed into my understanding.
"Isn't the loss of Sylvanas and Gianna heavier than this?"
"That's right," I nodded unconsciously, "I can't help but think that it was I who caused the destruction of their country and their race. "Maybe I can change that fate that belongs to me now. "Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take out the dagger that Sylvanas gave me. But I thought that I might suddenly lose control of myself and attack my best friend halfway, or that others would mistakenly think that I was being victimized by an elf or Ronin, so I took it back. Luo Ning looked at my actions suspiciously, I couldn't help but feel that I was a little self-inflicted, who knows what he would think of these behaviors.
"Arthasβ" Ronin was also saying my name with the same mood as I had begun to say my name to him today, and he sat on the ground with my arm in arm. Yes, if I were he, he wouldn't know what to do now. Although they may be mortal enemies in the future, there is no reason to do it yet, maybe it really has to wait until the moment of the incident for me to really dare to accept each other's opposites, and everything can only wait until "Let's talk about it then...."
It was calm for a long time, and I thought about what it would be like at that time, maybe it would be if we were fighting on the Icecrown Fortress, or if it was in some of the previous battles for the slaughter of the city. What would happen when the power of the dark souls collided with the mighty arcane orbs of humanity's most powerful mage, or would he regain his allegiance to me as a lich or would I die under his powerful mana? Thinking of this, I can't help but smile bitterly after a long absence...
