Thassarian stood aside, not knowing what he was thinking, without saying a word.

Albaz and Hugh looked at each other, the former gritted his teeth, anger filled his pale face, his right hand held the hilt of the rune sword, and his whole body trembled, I don't know if it was anger or fear!

The latter looked at the former with a sneer, his hands on the hilt of his sword, and said nothing, but judging by the frost spreading under his feet, it gradually eroded the entire room. Hugh was ready to go to war with Albazz, and if necessary, he didn't want to kill him.

After a moment, Albaz removed his hand from the hilt of the rune sword and looked deeply at Hugh standing in the doorway.

"Forget it this time, aren't you here to support us, then go and complete your mission!" Eventually, Orbaz was the first to compromise.

"I don't know what I'm doing here?" The frost in the room, all of which had turned into mist and disappeared after Hugh pulled the rune sword from the floor, and he took the sword

Hung up again, asked nonchalantly.

"So, aren't you a commander? Of course I'm here to report on you! It's time for you to assign a mission! ”

"yes, that's good! Soldier, don't regret it! Orbazz's tone was full of resentment.

"We're here on a mission to investigate the Scarlet Crusaders' so-called Scarlet Dawn plan. The living seem to want to flee the city, and then they seem to have sent a messenger, but we have not found any clues to the messenger, and we have no idea when or where the so-called messenger will appear. ”

"Don't you want a mission, soldier!" Orbazz laughed disgustingly.

"I've got some interesting information from a poor creature who keeps a calendar of all the patrol routes in the Scarlet Castle, kept by another paladin named Roddick."

"Naturally, if you're so confident in yourself, then go and break into this castle and show me that schedule! Oh, maybe you can stop by and rescue some of the waste, remember, this is a task that you can only do alone, and I won't give you any of them. ”

"Wait, Albaz, you're trying to leave Belmont alone......"

"It's okay, Thassarian." Hugh interrupted Thassarian and turned to Albaz

"I'm just going to have to get that schedule out, Albaz, right?"

"That's right, I'm waiting for your excellent performance, soldier, huh!"

With that, Albaz walked out of the room without looking at Thassarian, and said to him in a low voice as he passed Hugh's side.

"Poor worm, you don't have a few days to live, you puppet prop that has been manipulated!"

Touch!

Albaz slammed the wooden door shut, leaving Hugh and Sassarian here and leaving the room alone.

"Belmont, you shouldn't have had to fight with Albaz."

After a long time, Thassarian spoke.

"I'll go to that castle with you."

"No need for Thassarian," Hugh rejected his offer, "I'll be left alone, and if the situation allows, I'll try to find Kurdila and take him with me." ”

"But it's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

"No," Hugh shook his head, "I'm not in danger of going alone, but if I take you with me, I'm not sure I'll be able to use magic to get all three out intact." ”

"I know what you're trying to say, Thassarian! But this isn't the time to be reckless, and you may be on the battlefield, but infiltrating heavily guarded castles is not your forte. ”

"But I declare in advance that I won't bother to look for Kurdila if I don't get the attention of others, but I won't let myself get trapped there if the conditions don't allow."

"That'...... All right! But please be careful......"

"Don't worry, you do your job first, lest Orbazz find an excuse to get along with you!"

............

......

...

.

After seeing off Thassarian, Hugh was left alone in the room for a while. He walked to the window of his room, opened the curtains, and looked out the window at the stars shining in the night sky.

It was Lady Elune, the moon goddess worshipped by the Night Elves, who had been shining on Azeroth at night for thousands of years, sheltering the world. However, even Elune's holy radiance could not give them salvation for the dead, and they didn't need salvation, at least for now.

You're in doubt, aren't you? Again, that voice appeared in Hugh's heart again.

It's you again, what are you doing this time?

I sensed your confusion, so I'm out again to see what's going on! I didn't expect to see a wonderful plot!

What do you mean?

No, it's nothing, it's just a familiar but a little different story, and I'm just slightly interested.

yes, that's the end of the story, get back to where you belong!

Hehe, the story is not over yet, or rather, the story is about to reach its climax. On the contrary, I am more interested in the fact that you have not doubted it until now.

Suspect what?

Your past, why you don't have a memory, why you haven't seen it before, but Albaaz is familiar to you. And, of course, most importantly, whether or not you should be loyal to the Lich King.

I thought you were trying to say something, but I didn't expect it to be such a boring topic again, my allegiance to His Majesty the Lich King is because I am a member of the Scourge Legion, and my life was given by His Majesty the Lich King, and I should be loyal to His Majesty.

So, why are you different from other Death Knights? Other Death Knights, no, it should be said that every Scourge undead can hear the Lich King's whispers, but what about you? Can you hear me?

What do you mean?

Like Albazz said, you're just a 'prop' just in case. A plan for the Lich King as insurance, spy on the Death Knights of all of Acherus, no, or rather, your existential value is only to spy on Darien Mograini.

Hugh did not respond......

What's the matter, aren't you curious why all this is going on? Quite simply, all Scourge Undead can hear the Lich King's whisper, regardless of their identity, because that whisper is the key to the Lich King's control over all the Scourge Undead. The resurrected spirits are wise because they have memories of how they died.

The Lich King's whispers are based on the memories in the soul, distorting the notions of all the undead who still have wisdom, and naturally those undead will obey the Lich King's orders and be controlled by him. And those who have no memories are cannon fodder, and they are not so much controlled by the Lich King, but they are just instinctively obedient to a more powerful soul.

The best proof of this is that if the Lich King could really control all the undead, then there would be no Forsaken who broke free from control at the trough of his power, and there would be no Sylvanas, the Banshee King of today.

Sylvanas ...... Who is she and why does it feel so familiar?

When the right time comes, you'll remember. In addition to the Forsaken, there are other beings who can also control the undead, don't you want to know?

Who?

The Dreadlord, the Dreadlord of the Burning Legion, can also use magic to manipulate the undead. In fact, if Noor had lost all of the Burning Legion's power in Azeroth during the Battle of Ragnarok, the Lich King would have been nothing more than a puppet in the hands of the Dreadlords.

What exactly do you mean?

This means that the Scourge is not as scornful as you think, and the idea of surrendering to the Scourge is instilled in you. Just like the Lich King in the past, you are just a puppet manipulated by others, but in order to prevent the puppet from having thoughts that it shouldn't have, you input other people's thoughts into the puppet's brain and change the way the puppet thinks. In this way, when you can't really control this puppet, at least you can keep this puppet from getting out of your control.

Why?

Oh! Why, you ask? It seems that Gotik is really too confident in his backhand and doesn't have full control over your way of thinking, maybe this is an opportunity.

Gotik, who is that, and why do I feel as if I've heard it somewhere?

You'll know that after that, don't you want to know why you can't hear the Lich King's whispers?

Why?

It's easy!

Because you are not really dead at all, you have not been resurrected as a real Scourge undead, so you will not hear the whispers of the Lich King, which can only be heard by the undead, only those who have died once and then been resurrected.

In other words, you're still alive, Hugh Belmont!
