Zhang Li took Alexander back to his manor in an instant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mograine, you also heard that what I said about the Northrend plague and the expulsion of Kel'thugad has been confirmed, but I know that this does not convince you, so we go to Andorhar to have a look."
Mograine's expression was worried, although Antonios repeatedly emphasized that Zhang Li was alarmist, but the plague that Zhang Li said and the guy named Kel'thugad were confirmed, if Andohal really had a plague that could turn people into undead, then as long as the next prophecy came true, that is, when the king ordered the prince to investigate the orcs, he had to believe Zhang Li's words, once maybe it was a coincidence, and twice it could have been investigated in advance, but three or four times was not so simple, he had to take precautions.
"Father! You're back!? Fast! Fast! Renault is dying! ”
At this time, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old saw the two people who had been teleported, and ran over excitedly, his figure was very burly, and he inherited Alexander's good physique, and I saw that he was sweating profusely and was very anxious.
Looking at this young man, Alexander's expression slowed down: "What's the matter, Darian, you are yelling so much?" What happened to Renault? ”
"Father! Father! We accidentally touched your box! It's the one you never let us touch! Darien was terrified, trembling all over.
Alexander instantly jumped to his feet and shouted: "What! What did you do! Didn't I keep you from touching that thing!? ”
"Me! We! Darien was incoherent in fear.
"Alright, Mograine, let's go see your son first." Zhang Li persuaded.
"That's right! Right! Damn it! Let's check it out! ”
The group soon arrived in his study, where many people were crowded and the servants gathered in a panic, and Ressana and Ivy were also there, but Ressana looked more like he was watching a show.
Renaud was lying on a small bed, he looked a few years older than Darien, his right arm was now pitch black, dry like an old branch, and now there was only a maiden in front of him who was constantly healing him with holy light, but the girl's strength was almost exhausted, and she was crumbling at this moment.
It is said that this girl is the big white leg that Zhang Li has "admired" for a long time, but unfortunately her dress is not as revealing as in the game, people are pure now, it is still a little girl's family, and Darien seems to be on the same side, but it is indeed a beautiful lady, with a melon seed face and a long leg that has brought disaster to the country and the people, no wonder Renault wants to be with her despite his father's opposition.
"Renault! You okay! Alexander was so anxious that he pushed the girl away, almost squeezing her head.
“…… Father...... Father...... Help me......" Renaud was sweating profusely, his body exuded a terrible high fever, and the pupils of his eyes were a little dilated, he barely recognized his father and immediately called for help.
"Oh! No! O Holy Light! Please respond to my call! A torrent of divine light poured out of Alexander's body, all swallowed by that arm, but to no avail, it only delayed Renault's pain.
"Only the Heart of Light can save him." Zhang Li said that Alexander's right hand had been corrupted by the Heart of Darkness, and that the future was only healed when they transformed the Heart of Light.
"That's right! Right! Where's that damn thing!? Alexander roared, and the crowd cowered sideways, revealing a box in the corner.
Zhang Li walked over, and just by approaching him, he could feel the powerful power of shadows, very pure power of shadows.
Reaching out and opening the box, the others took several steps back at once, as if to avoid the devil.
What appeared in front of Zhang Li's eyes was a black crystal the size of a human head, it was so dark, even on a moonless night, its darkness was so obvious.
Looking at the thing in front of him that made him think about it, Zhang Li began to use the holy light on it.
Alexander had wanted to come and see it, but he soon found that it was just a drop in the bucket.
Zhang Li's power of holy light is so powerful, compared to Zhang Li, his strength is like the comparison of a bowl of water and a well, as the strength of the peak of level 2, Zhang Li's energy reserves are very large, and Zhang Li is also an elf, elf This is a race that relies on energy to survive, some of their body tissues are composed of energy, because this kind of energy gives them a long lifespan, and compared to humans, the energy (blue amount) of elves is much more than that of humans, and this is the case for elves to cultivate any energy.
Zhang Li's terrifying holy light energy made the whole room extremely bright, and even a little dazzling, Alexander could not help his son relieve his pain at this time, because Zhang Li's power was enough for Renault to be comfortable if he casually dispersed a little.
The encounter between the shadow and the holy light is usually an explosion, but this shadow gem is not like this, it endlessly devours Zhang Li's holy light energy, this process lasted for a few minutes, until Zhang Li's forehead broke out with a sweat, and the crystal seemed to be finally full.
Zhang Li exhaled, his energy was about to be exhausted, and he even regretted it a little, because in the official history, it took five or six high-level paladins to purify, and only two people here were relatively strong, but fortunately, he succeeded.
Divine energy ignited in the middle of the gem, and then it dispelled the darkness of the entire gem like a fire, and for a moment, it was only gold.
"Look, the Heart of Light has been transformed." Holding the gem, Zhang Li felt one after another of holy light surging down his arm, it was helping him to recover his energy, its energy seemed to be drawn from the void, making Zhang Li recover very quickly.
Bringing the gem to Alexander, Alexander stared at the gem in amazement, he reached out and took it, the light passed through his body, and his right hand, which was tightly wrapped in bandages, suddenly regained consciousness.
"I felt the light pass through my body, and it healed me." Alexander felt his right hand, his expression shocked.
"Then it must cure Renault too!" As he spoke, Alexander brought the gem closer to Renault's arm, which recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's incredible......"
………………
After successfully treating Renault, Alexander was furious and taught Renault and Darien a hard lesson, and the two poor young men had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, looking very aggrieved, and the overly strict father even complained to Whitemayne, blaming her for not stopping these two guys, and the poor little girl was implicated in vain.
In order to thank Zhang Li for his contribution, Alexander gave Zhang Li the Heart of Light, which was beyond Zhang Li's expectations, he thought that after seeing the power of the Heart of Light, Alexander would be even more reluctant to hand over the gem, but for a father, what is more important than his own son, Zhang Li helped him, so he reciprocated to Zhang Li, as a paladin with the glory of Holy Light in his head, Alexander was much more noble than Zhang Li imagined.
Although he got what he wanted, Zhang Li didn't want to leave like this, he wanted to continue to take Alexander to confirm those words, because if Lordaeron was vigilant, then the future invasion of natural disasters might have a lot less losses, so that in the future world crisis, the righteous side can also have the same great resistance, in fact, even if he leaves, there is nothing to do, it is better to confirm the development of the plot here, and see if he, a butterfly, has made the entire history of Warcraft deviate.
Although he can also go directly to Northrend and kill the Lich King, he can't do it yet, he still needs the Lich King to kill Quel'Thalas, because of his evil plan, he wants the High Elves to accept his people, and even he wants the Well of the Sun to be destroyed as in the original book, so that Akmund can come down and start a third world war with the Night Elves, after all, even if the High Elves are most dead, they will not necessarily accept the Harpies, and it is still safe for both elven races to suffer heavy losses.
So now his mission is to wary Mograine of the Scourge and reduce Lordaeron's losses, and in his opinion, Mograini may not be so easy to trust him.
But Zhang Li didn't know that at this time, Alexander had already believed his words, not because Zhang Li saved his son, but because he had never seen such a powerful holy light power appear in a person's body.
This man looked like he was the same age as his eldest son, but he had already borne the fate of the entire race, he didn't know what the curse that plagued Zhang Li's race was, but seeing him running as a king made him awe-inspired, in his opinion, perhaps only such a noble person could be so favored by the Holy Light.
He suddenly felt that maybe this person really saw through the future.
………………
The next morning, Alexander wiped his hammer, he hadn't touched the weapon since his right hand was wounded, and it had been very quiet outside, except recently I had heard that the orcs had made some small moves, but the scale was not large, he didn't need to hold the weapon again, he wanted to give it to Renault when he joined the Silver Hand later, but now he took it out and wiped it carefully, maybe he would have to fight with it again.
At this time, the fat butler hurriedly ran over.
"Report! My lord, there is news from the royal city that King Terenus has sent Prince Arthas to Steinbrande to investigate the orcs. ”
"What!?" Alexander stood up in surprise and looked at the fat man, "You say it again?" ”
"Oh, yes, my lord, King Terenus has sent the Prince of Arthas to Steinbrande to investigate the orcs."
"Bang dang!!" With a bang, Alexander's hammer fell to the ground, but instead of stooping to pick it up, he went crazy and seemed to run in one direction.
Zhang Li and Ivy were learning this script at this time, although Teacher Resana didn't know human script, but there was no problem with elven script, and it was already commonplace for the three of them to learn together.
"Oh, why are you so stupid, you have said that this character should be written like this, how many times do you want me to teach it to understand? Even the moon bear in the circus is smarter than you, and they can at least dance. ”
The venomous Ressa counted Ivy with disdain, Ivy was really aggrieved, I saw her look at Zhang Li pitifully with tears in her eyes, and said coquettishly: "Husband, it's so difficult to learn words, people don't want to learn it." "I'm really pitiful.
Just when Zhang Li was about to comfort this little cutie, the door was slammed open, everyone was startled, looked at the door, only to see Alexander gasping for breath, and then said intermittently: "You! The story you tell! It's already started! ”
………………
"Don't worry about Mograini, the future can be changed, every choice will determine a different future, the future I am talking about is only the most likely one, as long as you are well prepared, that kind of future will not necessarily come true." Zhang Li decided to go with Mograini, hoping to witness the episode and make sure that one of his evil plans came true, as for the Ressana and them, Zhang Li had other tasks to do.
"I understand Your Highness, but if you really want to do what you say, the eastern region is an important food producer, it will involve too many people, we must convince the king to send an army, we need a large army, a steel army like when fighting against the orc invasion, and even the help of other kingdoms is very necessary."
Zhang Li and Alexander rode their horses and galloped on a mountain road, this is already Aoshan, the road is very difficult to walk, the two people who received the news immediately set off to Steinbrand, Zhang Li didn't expect things to happen so quickly, he thought it would be a few months later.
When Alexander heard Zhang Li's prophecy, he instructed his men to keep an eye out for news from the royal city, and he only thought about making an insurance policy at that time, and now he proved that this insurance was done right.
It would take at least a week to reach him from the royal city, and the prince should have already started fighting the orcs by now.
Rushed to Stannbrand, at this moment the town has been destroyed for the most part, many people are homeless, because the house was burned by the orcs, many people are crying and cursing the orcs, and many people are grateful to Arthas, and they pulled a person over to inquire, Alexander found that what they said about Alsace was no different from the story Zhang Li told him.
"Two knights, are you going to help the Prince of Arthas?" Just as the two of them were about to continue their journey in search of Arthas, a woman approached, still holding a snotty little shota.
"Yes ma'am, I'm a paladin of the Silver Hand, and we have important business to go to the prince." Alexander did not have any aristocratic manners, and he said very politely to the woman.
"Oh, that's great, Lord Prince saved my baby Timmy, I was about to say thank you to him, but as soon as I turned around, he was gone, if you can, I hope you can help me say thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince."
"What?! What's your baby's name?! ”
"Timmy ......"
Alexander no longer had any doubts about what Zhang Li said, but his heart was even more anxious, if Zhang Li said that the future, then he must stop Arthas.
"Ma'am, I advise you, don't go back to Andorhar for a while, where the plague is dying." Before leaving, Zhang Li persuaded the woman.
"How does he know my home is in Andorhal?" Looking at the two departing, the lady looked puzzled, but the word plague still made her decide to stay here a little longer.
Timmy will become an undead in the future, and if he kills him in WOR3, he will lose a ring, and Zhang Li doesn't want such a poor Timmy to continue to repeat that sad fate.
………………
Soon they were at the prince's camp, where the roars of humans and orcs could be heard from afar, and a large group of orcs were attacking the camp in Arthas, and an elderly paladin could be seen fighting hard.
"Uther! I'm here to help you! Alexander raised his hammer and began to charge at the orcs, who did not choose to enter the camp, but cut through the orc's flank.
"Oh? It's Alexander, what wind brought you here? A hammer smashed an orc's head, and seeing who was coming, the aged paladin Uther shouted happily to Mograine's help.
"I'll explain it to you later! Let's get rid of the crumbs first! "Alexander rushed into the ranks of the orcs, through a certain use of holy light, his body has been greatly strengthened, the strength is close to the heroic warrior, and there is a stronger recovery than the warrior, he rushed into the orc's pile, killing everywhere, with several grades of equipment beyond the orcs, no orc can threaten him, it is said that the orcs are basically shirtless with a broken axe.
Zhang Li watched with greed as Alexander used this holy light spell that puzzled him, and also rushed forward, Zhang Li himself is a hero-level physical fitness, so with that long sword, he also killed bloody, thinking that after the battle, he must find Alexander to learn this holy light spell.
There are only less than two thousand people in the camp in Arthas, on the other hand, the orcs are about two or three thousand, and the orcs can win the humans one-on-one with the physical fitness of the orcs, but unfortunately these humans are well-equipped and well-trained, war is never a one-person thing, and the human composition of the human beings equipped with huge shields is not moving, and in the few places where there is pressure, Uther will also rush over in time to support, so it is not clear who will win or lose in this battle.
But the two hero-level powerful knights completely crushed the orc's offensive, with the impact of the high-quality war horse, they cut in, and after a while, they rushed to the front of the human camp, no one could stop these two people for a minute, which greatly weakened the morale of the orcs, and the physical fitness of the war horse in the magic world was really not said.
"Fight back! We attack! Seeing the opportunity for a decisive victory, Uther grasped it with great skill, and he ordered a full-scale attack, Zhang Li, Mograini and him, the three of them pierced into the orc's camp like a three-sided sharp knife, the orc's position was in chaos, they could not organize an effective counterattack, and soon they began to retreat, and then a great rout occurred, and many human knights launched a pursuit, killing countless orcs along the way.
Humanity has won.
In fact, Zhang Li and the two of them can't win even if they don't come to the orcs, because the orcs don't have a hero, and Uther is a veritable hero, and the hero level is not only a powerful combat power on the battlefield, but also a great boost to the morale of the army, not to mention that Uther's holy light technique can also heal others.
"Hey! My friend, is your right hand healed? Who is this? It's incredible! An elf who wields the Light? Is he your apprentice? Uther gave Mograine a warm hug.
"My friend, I have come because I have something important to find the prince, and as for the one beside me, he is not my apprentice, he is a great hero and a king of elves, and he has come to help us." Alexander explained.
"Heroes? The Elven King? Is he Kael'thas? Uther was puzzled.
"It's not! Uther, we'll explain it later! ”
Alexander couldn't wait to find Arthas, and he said, "Take me to His Royal Highness!" We'll talk about the rest later, and I'll be sure to explain it to you. ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince has led a part of his troops to attack the orc camp."
