Chapter 9: Fate
Lothar didn't know how to explain to the fat man in front of her.
Explain that you will leave with the last hope at this most critical juncture.
Opened her mouth, and after a while, Lothar sighed.
In fact, he has already made a decision.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I'm ..... We still have important tasks ahead of us, and we have to get out of here. So...... So ......"
Lothar's voice grew deeper and deeper, and at last it even became inaudible. Hearing Lothar's words, the fat baron was slightly stunned at first, but then reacted. Shaking his head, he said with a relieved smile on his face, "It's all right, Sir Lothar. You, a duke, have come to this poor country, and you must have important things to do. I just wanted to ask you, what if, I mean, if you can, how long will you be able to stop those monsters and these villagers get out safely? ”
Lothar was stunned, Khadgar was stunned, Ren Fan was stunned, and even Garona was stunned. Taking a deep breath, Lothar said, "Your Excellency, you are ready to ......"
"I am the baron of Ximu Town, and all the villagers here are my people. We Pigu have been worshiped by them for generations, and I am their master, so it is necessary for me to keep them safe. ”
With a proud smile on his face, the fat baron pointed to a rough badge on his chest and said, "My grandfather, who once died in battle to protect the villagers from expelling trolls, and my father, who was besieged by wolves in order to save a farmer, was seriously injured. This is a tradition in our family. If I had a child, I believe he would continue this glorious tradition. ”
"I am a nobleman, and since I was a child, I have enjoyed the worship as a matter of course. Even though my father is long dead, and I'm just a little kid who can kill me secretly, they're still willing to give up their hard-earned earnings. They have done their duty as a people, and now it's my turn. ”
"How long will it take, sir, my people?"
"Three hours." At this moment, Lothar didn't even dare to look the person on the other side in the eyes. Even if his qi and blood are weak, he can knock him down with one finger.
"Three hours, it doesn't seem like it's an easy task." The fat baron smiled, "Sir Lothar, I want to trouble you with one thing. This time, I'm afraid my people will become a bunch of poor people...... There is a secret room under my house, which contains all my savings over the years. If I can't come back, please give the money to the oldest old stubborn in the village. Please! ”
"Please rest assured!" Lothar slammed his right hand on his chest: "As long as I, Lothar, still breathe, will never forget your request!" ”
"I'm relieved." The fat baron smiled brightly, his facial features were crowded together, and his eyes looked like a slit, which was particularly funny. But no one could laugh because they knew what that person's choice meant.
He was smiling at his own death.
As if thinking of something, Lothar suddenly shouted at the fat baron, "Wait a minute, please, your name." ”
"Uh, Breck, Breck Pigu. Baron Ximu Town, the richest baron in ten miles and eight towns! Blake said proudly.
The baron was gone, and there was silence in the courtyard. After a while, Lothar finally spoke. His voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Tell the boys that Baron Brookwood, Breck Pigu, will take on the Orcs on behalf of the Stormwind Kingdom! A hero has met his own destiny, and we must also meet our own destiny! Even if you are tired to death, you must rush to Karazhan today! ”
"Yes!" Garona nodded, then disappeared into the shadows. After hesitating for a moment, Ren Fan walked to Lothar's side: "Grand Duke, I need to leave for a while." ”
Frowning, Lothar didn't speak, just looked at him with a vicious look in her eyes. If this person dares to think of escaping, the Great Royal Sword will slash him to pieces in the first place.
"Baron Breck is a man worthy of respect, and we cannot let his sacrifice be meaningless. I was able to help him gain the ability to delay the orcs for three hours. However, in the next period of time, I am afraid that my ability will be reduced. ”
Almost without hesitation, Lothar immediately nodded heavily: "Let it go, if it causes any consequences, I will bear it alone!" ”
"I see." Nodding, Ren Fan said in a firm tone.
Contrary to imagination, although there was a lot of noise and crying, the whole Ximu Village was not too chaotic. All the people fled in an orderly manner towards the mountain behind the village with the help of the young man, taking nothing with them except food and water.
At the entrance of the village, two figures stood there.
Baron Breck put on an armor that had gone through an unknown number of years, and the armor was rusty and even a little mutilated. And under his crotch is an old horse that has lost its teeth. It seemed that it couldn't stand the weight of the fat baron, and its body was trembling slightly.
And beside the baron, the short squire he had seen yesterday was also dressed in leather armor. From a distance, it looked like the two men were arguing fiercely about something.
Hurriedly taking a few steps forward, Ren Fan lowered his head and said in a respectful tone: "I've seen Baron Blake." ”
"You're the magician next to the Grand Duke, what are you doing here?"
"I'm a priest......" Explaining his identity with a smile, Ren Fan raised his head, met Baron Brink's eyes, and said in a sincere tone: "Baron Brink, if there is a way in this world that allows you to have endless life force and recovery ability within three hours, what price are you willing to use it for?" ”
Baron Breck glanced at Ren Fan in surprise, and then he smiled: "I am willing to pay with my life!" ”
"Okay, I got it!" Ren Fan nodded heavily, then stretched out his right hand, condensing a dazzling holy light in his palm: "I will inject holy light into your body, a huge amount of holy light can greatly improve your ability to resist attacks, and your strength and agility will also be greatly increased." But...... Because this energy is so large, it can cause irreversible damage to your body. After three hours, you'll die of organ failure. This...... It's painful. ”
"How far can you go?" Blake didn't seem to hear the second half of the words, and his eyes lit up with excitement. After thinking for a moment, Ren Fan said a little exaggeratedly: "You will become as strong as a humanoid dragon!" ”
"Please, give it to me once!" Breck's face was full of excitement, and a fat face shone with a dazzling light. And the dwarf attendant beside him also interjected at this time:
"Well, Your Excellency, you ...... Can you also give me such a blessing? ”
"Fuck off, Sever! Don't try to rob me of my glory! ”
"Lord Breck, I've taken care of you all my life!"
"Fuck off, you think I don't know you're greedy for three times the wages of others!"
"Is that why you hired me and drove the remaining four servants away!"
......
Inexplicably, the two quarreled, like two old friends who had drunk too much, unscrupulously exposing each other's shortcomings. Sighing, he looked into the distance, and in the forest not far away, a field of birds was fluttering in the sky. Sighing, Ren Fan's eyes were a little sad.
Orcs, coming.
And these two people will also meet their own destiny.
