Chapter Twenty-Six: Hope

"Alas," the old man sighed heavily, "these children have no names! ”

"How so!" Rose's face was full of disbelief.

Dinin didn't believe it either.

Even if it's an orphanage, you can always do it to give the children a name, you know, no name, quite no identity, for anyone, is a serious insult!

"It's true, the current Stormwind City has become a place for nobles to collect wealth and have fun, and we, the common people, have been completely abandoned!" The old man seemed to be talking about sadness, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but cry.

"What the hell is going on?" Dineen and Rose looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't figure out if some of Stormwind's nobles were corrupt and oppressed the common people, or if, as the old man said, the whole of Stormwind had abandoned them.

These are two completely different concepts! One is the part and the other is the whole.

"What about your royal family? And Varian. King Wrynn, don't you care? Dinin was in a hurry, and he didn't care if it would arouse the vigilance of the hungry people.

"Humph! Royalty, I bah! The man who burned the fire spat hard.

"Well, Varian, he doesn't care about that." The old man kept shaking his head and sighing, looking helpless: "The only thing he cares about now is to organize a large number of troops, hoping to exterminate those chaotic parties in Defiya in the Western Wilderness." ”

Di Ning was suffocated in his heart, aren't these people secretly part of the extermination army?

"I don't believe it!" Rose retorted loudly.

In fact, even Dineen thinks that King Varian is a rare hero in the alliance, so it's no wonder that Rose instinctively refuses to believe it.

"At first, we didn't believe it either!" The old man's face was an inexplicable expression, with deep pain, sadness, and even despair. "But that's the way it is, Stormwind has been troubled by those moths, but what about Varian, in addition to conscription, it's a tax increase!"

"He said that Stormwind is his home, and the people of Stormwind are his relatives!" The old man spoke more and more slowly, as if he was reminiscing about the good old days, and suddenly his voice changed, his left hand was clenched into a fist, and he slapped his thigh hard, and said heavily: "Now, he has forgotten, he has forgotten everything!" Varian, he has reneged on his old promises! ”

When Di Ning saw the old man's sad and angry face, his original suspicion slowly turned into belief.

"If it's really like what the old man says, is King Varian doing the right thing or is it not?" Dineh couldn't judge in his heart.

Varian had promised his people happiness to them, but at the same time, he was saddled with an even greater yoke - revenge! Avenge those who died in the first war!

He may have reneged on the previous promise, but at the same time, he wanted to fulfill another promise.

From this point of view, it is really unclear whether he is right or wrong.

Conscription, tax increases, overwhelming the people, of course, will lose the hearts of the people, a tyrannical leader, but can you say that he avenges the heroes who once defended the country and fought to the end, is it wrong?

"You're lying!" Rose was a little angry, and her tone unconsciously became higher and higher, attracting the eyes of the three of Bai Yis.

"Didn't you say that King Varian was going to exterminate the rebels of Defia in the Wild West? Then why did you end up in a place where war was about to be? Rose spoke angrily, trying to refute the old man's slander at Varian.

Dinen nodded, feeling that Rose had a point, others were far away from the scourge of war, and these people actually went the other way.

This doesn't make sense!

Just when Di Ning thought that the old man was speechless, he suddenly smiled mysteriously, his face was full of leisurely fascination, and said slowly: "Because, there is hope here!" ”

For a while, more than a dozen hungry people with yellow faces and thin muscles, their heads were slightly high, their eyes were full of determination and hope, and the light shone on their faces, and they actually emitted a kind of divine light slightly!

"Hope? You're all starving like this, I hope you're a ghost! "Rose is almost making these people happy.

Wish?

What hope is there in this wilderness, which has been destroyed by war?

But at this time, Dining, looking at this group of people with a ray of divine light looming in their faces, was silent.

There is still hope, what if it happens?

The group of civilians, who didn't know whether to call them the Hungry or Stormwind, finally left with the food given by Dinein's team.

As the sun set, the five members of the Dineh team stood straight, watching them leave, their expressions were a little solemn, and even Bai Yisi, who had been a little unconcerned, had an inexplicable expression on his face.

Dineh seemed to freeze on the picture just now—

The fifth female was holding Rose's hand and reluctantly saying goodbye, and the delicate and crisp children's voice said softly: "Sister, don't call me the fifth female, okay?" I would like to have a name. ”

Rose's face was tinged with sadness, and she stroked her thinning hair with her hand, silent.

The other hungry people had already started their journey, and the female one came over and took the female five's left hand, half comforting and half hopeful, but with a firm belief in her tone: "Don't worry, there will be," hope "said—we are not numbers, we are men and women!" ”

More than a dozen thin figures supported each other, and the sunset painted a thick layer of golden light on their bodies, which was particularly dazzling!

"King Wa, did you really do something wrong?" Dineh's eyes were fixed on their departure until the figure disappeared, and a big question could not help but rise in his heart.

Varian. King Wrynn, in the minds of Warcraft players, is a hero, a pillar of the Alliance, and the Stormwind he leads is an important force against the Horde and the Burning Legion, and of course, a good father.

But for the first time, these people in front of him made Dineen have questions.

Is it the work of a wise leader to recruit an unlimited amount of soldiers, levy additional taxes, and make the people's livelihood miserable for the sake of war?

The royal majesty is not strict, and cannot prohibit the nobles from endlessly oppressing the commoners and forcing the commoners to a dead end, is this the work of a wise leader?

He knew that it was his own people, some of whom could no longer survive in Stormwind, by conscripting troops to exterminate the Brotherhood in the Wild West.

Rose walked to Dineen's side with heavy steps, tilted her head slightly, tears flashed in her eyes, and the other three team members also gathered around, four pairs of eyes, looking at Dineen quietly.

"Captain, what should I do?" Rose said softly, asking, but her voice was full of hesitation.

What to do? Dineen was also asking herself.

I clearly remembered that the fifth female was pulled by the female one, took a few steps, broke free from the female one's hand, turned around suddenly, walked to Rose's side, nodded vigorously, as if she was very convinced, and said loudly in a childish voice: "Sister, the next time we meet, I will definitely tell you my name!" ”
