We didn't say anything more, but after arranging some vigils, we went back to the barracks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I was in the same place as Sassarian and Melwin, and they said they were guarding my safety, but the reality was that they were both asleep in bed early. Or maybe they can't wait for me to sleep, so they rest first. Yes, after what Marlan did today, thinking about something that is going to happen tomorrow, it gives me a headache, and it's really hard for me to imagine what will happen tomorrow.

Feeling sleepy, I simply got up and thought about some future plans:

I knew that leaving behind a few paladins who were more loyal than faithful was necessary to be able to completely control the Silver Hand in the future. But I still don't want the paladins who are loyal to their faith to make a mistake in this operation. Or that I want to work on changing them. That is, how can a staunch believer like Marlan make them completely obey my orders, instead of deciding their words and deeds according to the rules of the Paladin, after all, they are the most loyal and powerful organization among the people, and the most influential.

I couldn't help but sigh at this point, maybe I need to discuss this plan with my partners, but I'm also worried that if they find out that I have such thoughts, will they change their attitude towards me?

I continued to think about it worriedly, but Sylvanas seemed to understand my thoughts when she communicated with me just now, and since she said 'I know', she should have understood me a little, but how much can she understand... For example, in a conversation with her, she probably thought that I was going to introduce her to a sister again.

Yes, no matter what, Marlan is definitely a beauty among us humans, especially her appearance as a general is somewhat similar to Sylvanas herself, but compared to the elves, she is not so slender and charming, maybe she is the same age as me, then I can consider some things about acceptance, but....

But when I think about it, I can't help but shake my head and revisit the things that really need my attention.

I have already said to Sylvanas that I want to possess Marlan, and she will think like this, just as I did with her back then, and when I think of the low look on her face when I just ended the conversation, it is all the more proof that she is, and perhaps after this conversation she has been sad about my amorous feelings again, or is she a little disappointed in me......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stop thinking about other things, and deeply felt the seriousness of some things. Especially now, she has given up her position as a ranger general, and if she wants to say goodbye to me sadly, then I don't know what she will do...

I put on my clothes and got up with my weapon, and walked briskly to her barracks, hoping that it would not be too late, for it would be almost impossible to go out into the wilderness in the dark night to find an elf who had abandoned you.

I had barely walked out when I noticed that she was walking calmly towards me, or rather in the direction of my barracks, as she had done before. But I don't think the expression on her face is a reflection of her heart, after all, if you come to me so late, it can't be nothing. It's not like what I feared...

"Arthas, I think you're coming for me"

Sylvanas greeted me privately as before, and it was strange to me that it wasn't what I thought it was, that he was a little angry with me, and that the way she put her hands on my shoulders made me realize that she might have come for the opposite of what I thought.

"My elf, I think we'd better not do that before the war. ”

"Oh, then why are you looking for me so late?" Sylvanas pointed in the direction I was going, which was her camp. "I don't think you're going to look for Marlan, do you?"

"Of course not—" I paused and cleared my throat, and it seemed as if I was hiding it from her, and I thought for a moment that I might as well be honest with her. "I just wanted to talk to you, I hope you don't get me wrong, I just want to gain their loyalty, I just want to gain their loyalty, not..."

"Arthas, you've explained this to me. ”

"Explained?"

"Of course, you've told me that you just want the silver hand of the juniors, have you forgotten, or is it more than that?" Sylvanas looked at me sharply, and now I thought about it, and thought that I seemed to have really told her this, but why didn't I think in the first place that I had already told her about it?

"Sylvanas, I—" Her hands were still on my shoulders, but I was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't slam my neck after I hadn't given her a reasonable explanation, but what else could I explain. Unless you can change the subject. "By the way, why did you come to me so late, is there anything wrong?"

I asked rhetorically, but I knew that such a trick would not hide from the clever ranger, and she didn't seem to mean to make things difficult for me, but to get straight to the point, which was what she wanted to come and tell me.

"It was also because of Marlan that she was asked out by a Gilneth man to treat that person's relatives..."

"Well... It is true that she should not have left her post without permission in the middle of the operation, but she is a silver hand and cannot refuse such help from the people. ”

"Yes, if she's just going to treat humans in need, I don't have anything to say, but I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Why?"

"But as far as I know, this organization of your Holy Light has not been established for too long, that is, it has been a matter of nearly a hundred years. ”

"Well, what does that mean?"

"Closed Gilneys, especially villagers like this on the border of Fort Riptide, know very little about the humanities of the outside world. How could they be sure that the Silver Hand of the rival faction could help them. ”

"Maybe it's because of their relatives who are in urgent need of help, so they try to find us, and then Marlan goes, which makes perfect sense. I retorted, wondering inwardly as to what she was talking about. "Do you have proof?"

"Ordinary Silver Hands would never help them at such a time, but those people believed that she would, so they asked the night watchman to inform Marlan, how could they know Marlan's name if they were villagers... So they should be regular troops who have participated in theoretical practice. ”

Such a conclusion is too hasty, and it is entirely possible that they inquired about it when the food was distributed. ”

"You think that some of us will reveal each other, even the names of the chiefs, and more importantly, the direction they are taking, not at all in the direction of the village I saw when I came, but in the depths of the forest. ”

"It's really suspicious, so you know why didn't you warn her first. ”

"I'm afraid she won't believe me... And I think it's a chance for you. ”

"What chance?"

"A chance to possess her, and if she learns this lesson, perhaps she will shake her faith a little and become more loyal to you. ”

I seemed to understand something when she said this, but I always felt that she had gone too far.

"Sylvanas, you're playing a little big like this, if she's a little bad, then how can we be happy in our hearts..."

I grumbled, and Sylvanas smiled a little vaguely.

"You still care about her. ”

"I care about every fighter, but not the kind you think, that kind of care belongs only to you and Gianna. ”

"Yes or no, we'll find out in a moment... We hurried to find Marlan, and perhaps in a little later, something would have happened to her. ”

We didn't say anything, but took up our weapons and let her lead the way to find the location where she had disappeared.
