Chapter 19: Old Friends, Continued
“............ May the sun guide you, my brother. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lotsma looked at the friend in front of her in a complicated manner and said bitterly. "Welcome...... Return to Quel'Thalas, back to Silvermoon City. ”
"I thought you wouldn't recognize me!" Belmont laughed, "It's been years, and I thought you'd forget about me." However, I didn't expect that in just a few years, you, who were still the adjutant under the general, are now the regent, and your fate is really wonderful, isn't it? ”
“....... Oh, yes! Destiny ......"
"By the way, did you find what I left behind?" Belmont asked excitedly, "Also, that bastard of Darkan, have you done it?" How have you been doing all these years? By the way, brother, I actually want to ask when I come back this time, are you still short of people, I guess after I worked with the Knights of the Black Blade until I slaughtered the Lich King, I have nowhere to go, don't you think I'll come back to make a living, right? ”
"............." Lotherma walked over to Belmont with a calm face without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
Touch!!!!
Lotherma, who was standing in front of Belmont, suddenly raised her hand and punched Belmont in the face, knocking him to the ground.
"You still have the face to stand in front of me! Hugh Belmont! With an angry expression, Lotherma grabbed Belmont by the collar and pulled him in front of him. What did you do in the first place! Answer me, why did you close the portal after we all evacuated? ”
“............”
Looking at the silent Belmont, Lotherma lifted him up and slammed him against the wall. Panting for breath, gritting his teeth, he stood there with a complicated expression and looked at Belmont lying on the ground.
"Speak! Why don't you say it? ”
“............ Is it necessary to be so angry? Cough! Rubbing his punched face, Belmont got up from the ground and sat down on the ground, looking up at Lotherma in a fit of rage.
"At the beginning.......... Didn't I just close the portal after you took someone away? ”
"And then? What did you do again? ”
“............. I'm going to try to assassinate that traitor in Darkan. Belmont spread her hands and said, "I failed, though." Then, after sleeping for several years, I only woke up recently. ”
"You bastard!"
Lotherma angrily stepped forward and pulled Belmont up from the ground.
"What's going on in your head? Did you go crazy in the first place? Why send a person to death! Who do you think you are? Who qualifies to decide to go on an adventure on their own? ”
"I should have killed Darkan earlier, but I hesitated then!" Belmont explains: "............ Later, you also know that because of Darkan's betrayal, Silvermoon City fell. To be honest, I thought it was all my fault, so I wanted to make amends............"
"Then why don't you make it clear to me first!"
"Will you let me get revenge?"
“............ No, I'll stop you! ”
"That's it!"
"Do you know what I want to do now?" Lotherma roared, "I want to keep beating you!" ”
Lotherma pulled Belmont to his feet, then punched him in the stomach and kicked him back to the ground.
“............ What have you become now? Hugh Belmont! Lotherma's tone was filled with anger, and she said tremblingly, "Look at it! You have now become a monster awakened from death, a death knight! You've become, the monster you've been fighting against. Why are you stupid! ”
"I had the back hand to escape...... It's just that in the end, I found out that I was sold. ”
"You idiot!"
Lotherma stepped forward to pull Belmont up and continue the fight, but Archmage Roman stopped him.
Lotherma said to the archmage who stood in front of him, "Get out of the way, archmage! Don't stop me! ”
"Regent, that's enough!" Romans looked at Lothama and said, "Whatever your previous entanglements were, but now, you are the regent of Quel'Thalas. And he, now a member of the Knights of the Black Blade! ”
"Whew...... Call...... Okay, you're right, Archmage! Looking at Romans, Lotherma gasped and suppressed her anger.
For Hugh Belmont, Lotherma was complicated. There is both anger and gratitude for him not saying goodbye at the beginning, but more guilt and regret. At the beginning, after seeing the portal closed, he had a bad premonition. After that, the hunch came true, and that comrade-in-arms was afraid that he would do the stupidest thing alone.
After the main force of the Scourge retreated, he and his people continued to try to reclaim the land. Two years later, he met the traitor Darkan, with the help of the Banshee King, a human paladin, and two blue dragons. Found the incarnation of the Well of the Sun, Avena. Finally defeated Darkan.
After regaining Silvermoon City, he found Belmont's original residence. There, a dark compartment was found, and the broken staff containing the box was found. He recognized it as the staff Belmont had been carrying, and God knows how painful and desperate he had been when he saw it.
He regretted why he didn't expect Belmont to do such an irrational thing, and hated himself even more for leaking information to traitors. But now, the friend he thought he would never see again has reappeared, as a Death Knight, and has become a member of the Knights of the Black Blade, who has escaped the control of the Lich King.
"I know, I was in the army, Lotherma!" Standing up from the ground, Belmont said to the still angry Regent, "I...... I shouldn't have been sent to death without telling you......... Sorry........"
“............ No, bro! ”
Lotherma closed the only remaining eye.
"Wrong...... It's me, if it weren't for me, it's all ......"
“...... Nothing will happen, I shouldn't not believe your words, sorry bro! ”
Lotherma stepped forward and hugged Belmont.
"Sorry...... Brother, and, welcome home! ”
“............ Kindness! I'm back, Lotherma! .......... Thank you! ”
