Act IV: Enigma IV

Locke stood at the break in the city wall, where the elements of the earth were very unstable, and the irregular elements of the earth in the air were constantly converging here. He sighed, how to build the walls on a large scale made the stone elementals of this land very uneasy, and they might be attacking here for the next few weeks.

"Ryan, you send a patrol of about twenty forest trolls to patrol the vicinity of the Walls of Soladin, and hunt them down as soon as the stone elemental appears."

Not far away, Ryan walked over with a nod.

At this time, Locke turned his head to look at Ankara, who was standing on the hillside not far away, a little stunned, "Hello, Ankara, I once heard that Laurena heard of you, a descendant of a knight nobleman, after the weakening of Riptide Castle, in order to maintain the property in Riptide Castle, insisted on not leaving. ”

"Now, I'll give you a chance, and that's your chance to become a knight again, how about it?"

Ankara was slightly stunned, he didn't know why Locke directly threw out such a condition, but the dream of reviving his family only occasionally appeared in dreams, but now such a condition was placed in front of him.

"Agree, or disagree?"

Locke's voice rang in Ankara's ears, and this very seductive voice made Ankara nod directly.

Conditions like this were something he simply couldn't refuse.

Even if there is an unspeakable danger hidden behind this condition.

Locke nodded, but the High Priest of Lane, who had already walked to his side, just glanced at Ankara and said to Locke: "This person has no strength, not even elite-level combat power, I heard that human canonized knights must have elite-level combat power or above." ”

Locke smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Who cares about that kind of thing, the Riptide Castle Kingdom still has elite-level warriors?" ”

"I am very optimistic about him, after the decline of a country, he still holds on to his real estate, which means that he may be a patriotic person, or a person who keeps money."

"But that's why he's able to serve as my knight."

Ryan nodded, and he thrust the scepter in his hand into the ground, and a black gas instantly stained the black earth.

"It's a unique way for forest trolls to deliver information, and someone will be coming soon." Ryan said as he slowly opened his eyes.

It didn't take long before the footsteps of velociraptors and the clatter of horses could be heard not far away.

Two forest trolls and a human ran quickly.

The human wearer was dressed in silver-white armor and held a canonized document in his hand.

"Actually, you don't have to dress so formally." Locke said with a shrug of his shoulders.

The human sitting on the white horse smiled awkwardly, "Actually, the canonization ceremony should be a little more serious, which is what Laurena meant." ”

Locke nodded.

Ankara was simply stunned by this sudden happiness, and he was already familiar with the process of canonizing knights from the books handed down from his family. He hurriedly fell to his knees.

Suddenly, Locke said slowly, "I'll say a word." ”

This made everyone present look at Locke, and Ankara was shocked, although he had known that the problem would not be so simple, but now he had to listen to Locke continue.

"After the canonization ceremony, you take Ankara to Fort Rapids to get a set of knight's armor, and give him another 100 gold coins to recruit five hundred militia to go to Nanhai Town before sunset today."

When they heard Locke's words, everyone present opened their mouths in surprise, only High Priest Ryan trembled and said, "This is not good, Lordaeron asked you to bring five hundred soldiers, and you will bring five hundred militia over?" ”

Locke shrugged his shoulders and continued: "First of all, we don't need to fight in this fight, they can train to their heart's content in Southsea Town, it's a good environment there, and frankly, the training ground in Fort Riptide is actually not as good as Southsea Town. ”

"Put this matter to an end, Riptide Fort is good for anything, except for a serious shortage of soldiers."

After Locke said this, he turned his head and walked towards the city wall, "Remember, Ankara, this is the honor I bestow on you. ”

………………

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the fields of the Hillsbrad Hills, the verdant pine forests, the running deer, and the wild horses galloping, making Locke fall into distant memories.

Standing on the wall of Soladin, you can see the southernmost border of Lordaeron, the snow-capped mountains, the town of Nanhai, known as the pearl of the south, and the famous city of Talenmir in the south of Lordaeron.

"Remember, when I came to Talenmere again, it seemed to be the place where the Forsaken lived." Locke said slowly.

"Well, the last time I was investigating Alterac, I guess the natural disaster broke out." Locke smiled bitterly, the dusty memories in his heart beating his heart like a tide.

"Father...... Mother. Locke stared at the Alterac Mountains not far from the Hillsbrad Hills, the snow-covered mountains, staring at Locke as if mockingly.

"As soon as I saw the snow-capped mountains, I remembered several friends." Shadra leaned against the city walls, her eyes fixed on the snow-capped mountains not far away.

The spirit state of Shadra seems to be seductive, but it is just a soul.

"The gods of the ice trolls?" Locke asked.

Shadra shook her head slowly, and said calmly: "The people who disappear in the Great Snow Mountain, no matter what kind of creatures they are, their souls will not enter the Shadow Realm, but go to the hands of my friend, the God of Ice and Snow. ”

Locke smiled slightly, he raised his head, and a few small birds flew in the sky, "Maybe, but I don't think demigods like animals should be capable of ......"

"It's just that ordinary humans shouldn't have a problem." Shadra interrupted Locke's words, "But with all due respect, a blizzard in the snowy mountains can annihilate what happened a few minutes ago, let alone something that happened a long time ago. ”

"Maybe you won't be able to find any information."

"No" Locke stared at the Alterac Mountains, and he said word by word: "In that snowy mountain, there is a hidden kingdom of men, maybe I can find a breakthrough there, and according to the information I have received before, my identity is likely to hide a murder by the King of Alterac." ”

"Then good luck with that, the gods have been long enough, I'll have to wait for them completely." After Shadra said this, she disappeared into thin air.

Locke sighed, not long after, the human kingdom behind this wall will be destroyed by the sudden appearance of the Scourge legion, and no country will avoid it.

"Grand Duke Locke, Ankara has gathered the five hundred humans you requested." The sound from below lifted Locke's spirits.
