Chapter 62: In the Following
At that time, the living water brought in from the canal was flowing continuously; The green trees on the bank of the canal are shaded and flourishing; And the slightly swift wind on the cliff rolled up the water in the water and the leaves on the ground, and the ripples rippled and rippled, rippling the hearts of the world!
At this moment, the orderly steps of the person who came, not slow or hurried, there was a sad face between the eyebrows, but in his eyes, there was another quiet and gentle temperament, condensed like an abyss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough his face is still young, his demeanor is restrained and calm, and his demeanor is striking!
"Down, Anduin Lothar."
When the footsteps of the people finally stood still, the distance between him and Oss was not far or close, just right. And this understatement, but it speaks the most honorable name of the human race.
"Osmar son of the mountains."
"Your prestige was introduced to Riptide Castle three hundred years ago, and it is my honor to meet you. And your strength is even more awe-inspiring. "Anduin Lothar was honest in his actions. He put his position at the bottom of the line, as if he didn't know his surname and identity.
"If you are below, who is above?" As soon as he saw him, Oss was impressed by Sir Lothar's demeanor. And Sir Lothar's indifferent and gentle temperament was somewhat similar to the teacher's natural temperament, which immediately made Oss feel more cordial.
Sir Lothar was stunned by Os's question, he had no idea that the dwarves, who were known for their boldness, bravery, uprightness, and impulsiveness, would have such a special king and ask such a special question.
Sir Lothar, however, was not concerned with the question itself. He smiled slightly, and then replied angrily: "The kingdom has its own king. ”
"Hah!" Oss sighed with respect, truly admiring the person in front of him, and he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and said, "This sentence alone is the luck of the human race!" Sir Lothar, it's a pleasure to see you! ”
Sir Lothar faced the huge right palm stretched out by Os, and when he was obviously unable to shake hands, he stretched out his arm, which was also a little slender and thin among the Terrans, and slapped it slightly with Os. Then, he performed another Terran etiquette, as if full of emotion: "I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you on behalf of myself for being invited!" And your heroic fight against the orcs at Lokmodan is a worthy tribute to the entire Dwarven kingdom for those of us who live in the North! ”
"Again, it is the duty of every Azeroth creature to fight against demons."
When Sir Lothar heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the faint sadness between his brows diminished a lot. Because Os's words have clearly defined the nature of the current war, and the dwarves' position on assistance has been calmly revealed. And this position is exactly what he urgently needs at the moment!
Seeing that things turned so suddenly, and so wonderfully. Sir Lothar leaned half-sideways, his left hand on the shoulder of the half-eldest boy who had been following him, and introduced Oss, "This is Varian Wrynn, the crown prince of the Stormwind Kingdom, the future king of the storm, and my godson. ”
In fact, Oss had already thought of it, only half a step behind Sir Lothar's status, the right age, and a luxurious dress, but he had a pair of gloomy and sad eyes, except for the Crown Prince of Storm, who destroyed the country and lost his relatives, he did not think twice.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Dwarven King." Varian, who was in his teens, spoke in a very small voice, as if he had no strength. After he said this, he stepped aside again, and said nothing.
Oss looked at the present Varian, and if he hadn't known the future in advance, he would never have connected the depressed crown prince who was immersed in grief in front of him with the brave and resolute King Wa. Thinking of this, Oss involuntarily crouched down and said in a deep voice, "I'm sad about what happened to you, Varian. I don't think there's anything more cruel than watching my father assassinated. ”
Suddenly brought up the most reluctant memory, Varian looked up in surprise, his thin body seemed to be weak, and he trembled and looked at the strange, even terrifying, giants in front of him.
"I remember, Varian, remember your ancestors." Oss felt that he should say something, so he told him the story that his teacher had told him, "Your ancestors took the map of the road to the south from my teacher, the king of the mountains. Overcoming obstacles and starting from scratch, he created the seventh kingdom of the human race, and this lion-like courage is the blood of the Urian family! I believe that one day, you will walk the path of your deceased ancestors again and return to the south to restore the country! ”
This story, Varian simply did not know. However, "overcoming obstacles" and "starting from scratch", these two sentences made him cry like rain! At this moment, he remembered the terrifying image in his mind again, and first saw the orc with his own eyes, plunging the dagger into his father's chest! Then, it didn't take long for me to see the entire Stormwind City burning with my own eyes!
For a moment, Varian's tears flowed uncontrollably, and his thin body trembled, and he was taken into the arms of his godfather, Sir Lothar.
After a while, Varian wiped away his tears, as if he had vented after crying, and it seemed that because of the story of his ancestors, he was inspired, and there was finally more momentum in his eyes. And the godfather beside him thanked him for his words: "Thank you for your comfort, Your Majesty the Dwarven King. ”
Oss waved his hand and stood up, he thought for a moment, and then he didn't plan to continue beating around the bush. Because of the hypocrisy and officialdom, it is not in line with his current identity as the king of dwarves, and the character he should have: "Sir Lothar, have the elves arrived?" ”
"Yes, the envoy led by the elven prince arrived three days ago."
"Good!" Oss actually knew, but he clapped his hands anyway, pretending to be happy and said, "Then I'll not be verbose, when will the meeting start?" Our war with the orcs is in a state of flux, they are too strong! ”
"This ......" Sir Lothar lost his grace and politeness for the first time, and he failed to answer the question.
"What's going on?"
In fact, Sir Lothar has been worried about this matter for many days, and the same dilemma has happened to him once before when facing the elven prince. And he had thought of many excuses to explain in advance before meeting with the Dwarven King, but when he really faced the Dwarven King he had never seen before, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
"I see." Os's face was grim, and the body of the diamond was not angry, and he stopped Sir Lothar, who wanted to stop talking several times.
"I ...... I'm really sorry, Your Majesty the Dwarven King. In the end, Sir Lothar could only say that the contradictions, prevarication, and intrigue within the human race really made it difficult for him to speak to the king of the dwarves.
"It's not you who should say that." Oss said this, and without mercy, he picked up the words in front of Sir Lothar, "We were mentally prepared before we came, otherwise after such a long time, it would not have been possible for only that kid from the Torbain family to come to support with his troops. ”
Sir Lothar opened his mouth again, but was unable to utter anything useful. In fact, Anduin Lothar's status in the Seven Kingdoms of the Terran Race is indeed transcendent, but his transcendent status does not mean that all kings will unconditionally obey his orders.
"I am deeply ashamed of your tolerance and understanding." Sir Lothar sighed, and his affection for the king of the dwarves he met for the first time was also doubly fond.
Having said that, Oss naturally will not embarrass the person in front of him. Whether it was the plot he knew when he was on Earth, or the personal contact he had since he came to Azeroth, Sir Lothar's position has always been clear and trustworthy. As for Varian Ureon, he now has almost nothing but his godfather, Sir Lothar, and it is even less likely that Oss will trouble him.
"Don't talk about that, I think we can talk about something else, I'm very interested in the Terran Kingdom. In the same way, I think you will be very concerned about the current situation in the south, including what the orcs are doing. Wait a little longer, and I'll introduce you to the contemporary great craftsmen of the Gnome Kingdom, as well as some excellent dwarven warriors. ”
"Gladly." Sir Lothar left four of his men here to wait for the dwarves. Then, with his godson Varian, he personally led the way for Oss and headed for the aristocratic quarter.
The day that followed, with a visit to the aristocratic quarter, a distant view of Loch Lordamere, and, of course, a constant conversation, it can be said that both Oss and Sir Lothar were more pleasant than they were on business. However, whether it was Oss or Sir Lothar himself, who represented the Seven Kingdoms of the Terran race and issued an alliance initiative among the various races, what they were worried about and concerned about was exactly the right thing!
It was getting late, and Os, along with the dwarves and the little gnomes, were entertained by Sir Lothar for a delicious lunch and a sumptuous dinner. When he was about to leave, His Majesty Terenus Minahir of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Archbishop of the Church of Light, Alonthos Fao, and the nobles of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, none of them appeared.
At this moment, the moon was already hanging diagonally in the air, and outside the gates of the royal city of Lordaeron, Kudran had just fired a flare gun, and the crowd was waiting for Scalley and the griffons.
"It was such a short day, and it really benefited me a lot. Your Majesty, do you really no longer consider staying in the royal city? I will give you all I have, and Varian is very close to you. "Sir Lothar has been retained again and again.
"We still love nature more and prefer to live in the mountains." Oss said that, but the real reason was that he had to switch identities back and forth between the Terrans and the Dwarves in this alliance negotiation. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to live in the royal city of Lordaeron, so as not to show his horse's feet.
"Well, then." Sir Lothar was slightly disappointed, and then turned the conversation back to business, "Praise the Light, and thank you for the timeliness of your information. Previously, even what I said was hard to convince all the nobles, and most of the powerful people believed that I had deliberately exaggerated the threat of the orcs out of selfishness in favor of the Wryon family. Although a brilliant young man from the Lordaeron kingdom, from the Garissus family, later sent back an extremely detailed piece of information that corroborated the news I had brought back, there were still some of the great nobles, even the two kings, who were unwilling to respond to the call for war. ”
On the side, Muradin, Kudran, Gelbin, and so on, almost all of them were holding back a smile. Knowing the truth, but the truth is mentioned and praised by outsiders in front of them, it makes them feel both proud and interesting.
On the contrary, Oss no longer wants to continue on the subject. For a whole day, except for the original initiator of the alliance of the four clans, Sir Lothar, no one appeared! It's impossible to say not to be angry: "If there's any news, please let us know as soon as possible." My people are still on the defensive side, guarding against the orcs day and night, and if I stay in Lordaeron for one more day, I won't be able to do it for the next! ”
"Definitely!" Sir Lothar replied solemnly, and his reply was concise, but it must be as good as a mountain!
