Chapter 45: Preparing for War

The chapter of the Scourge is about to begin!

"Really?" Katrana said sheepishly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Of course." Luo Lin, who has always been serious, replied with a straight face.

Perhaps it was because of the reunion after a long absence, but for the first time, Katrana felt pleasant in Rollin's words.

"Let's go to the moat, I have something to say to you." Katrana looked at Rollin with a smile as she had taken a step forward and left the command post of the Seventh Legion.

Rollin did not refuse Catlana's invitation, knowing that Katrana must have something else to discuss with him.

On the riverside in the twilight, the sun is not so dazzling. In Stormwind, every afternoon, children from school gather on the riverside south of the shopping street to fish.

The scene was very comfortable, and Rollin leaned under an oak tree and said, "Your news is quite fast, and you have found me not long after I arrived." ”

It was always embarrassing for a girl to take the initiative to find a boy, but here in the capable Katrana, she did not shy away from saying: "It's not what you imagined, I just heard Marshal Tulayan in Stormstorm Fortress say that you are coming back, so I went to the Cathedral of Light as soon as possible." The archbishop told me that you and Archmage Khadgar came to the south, and I have always been, must have been the command post of the First Legion. ”

"You know Khadgar a lot." Rollin smiled.

Katrana did not answer, she put her slender arms only on the guardrail on the edge of the river, stared at the boat ahead, and said, "I have heard Marshal Tulayan's words to King Varian today. I'm confused right now, I don't know which side I should be on. ”

The doubts like a haze are densely distributed on this fair and beautiful face. Katrana stooped down and picked up a stone and threw it into the river.

"Poof."

Circles of ripples stretched out on the surface of the river, and Katrana didn't know what she was thinking, and she couldn't help but shake her head.

"You weren't like that when you were in Grimba. You were very motivated. Rollin said.

Struggling to squeeze a meaningful smile on her face, Katrana kneaded the hair on the front of her neck and said, "It's different, I was a little girl when I first came to Stormwind City, and I didn't have anything, so I wanted to do my best to prove my worth." So, I wanted to do everything I could to open up trade routes, find resources, and sign agreements for the kingdom. ”

"A year and a half later, I've seen the changes in Stormwind and it's starting to flourish again. However, after prosperity, there is also decline. I've been to the Wild West, where the estates are only poor. Katrana continued to throw rocks into the river, as if the feeling of abandonment would make her feel more relaxed.

"It's worthless without effort, and there are some things you need to think about differently." Rollin used an arcane torrent to lift a stone, and then Rollin used this thin stone chip to make eight or nine floats on the calm river.

"You're lazy, you must have used magic." Katrana pouted and tried it too, but her technique was not as skillful as that of Luo Lin, and after two or three, there were only circles of ripples left on the water.

Smiling, Rollin didn't answer Katrana's words, and Rollin wanted Katrana to take care of herself.

"No, I don't know if I'm on that side. Rollin, I don't want to wade through this muddy water in Stormwind, you can take me away. Katrana plucked up her courage, and with her slender white fingers, she tugged at the hem of Rollin's shirt and said.

"Let's go? Where do you want to go. Rollin didn't say yes to Katrana, he asked.

Bowing her head aggrievedly, Katrana sobbed softly.

"It's been three years, and I'm tired of living like this. Every day is busy, like a chess piece being placed by others. I thought I could change this situation and change the contradictions in the royal city, but every time I had to bow my head to the side of aristocracy. I'm afraid that without these nobles in Stormwind King, my value will still exist. However, I am very contradictory, as long as there are nobles in charge of the economy, I can only watch with a solemn eye as some policy factions that treat the symptoms but not the root cause go to the western wilderness. Rollin, you say, how do I do it. Katrana looked at Rollin pleadingly.

All this time, Katrana had no real friends in Stormwind. As an aristocrat who is addicted to politics, friends are just synonymous with interests. However, in Grimbato, Katrana instinctively regarded Rollin as her friend, and although she had not met and known each other for a long time, Katrana always felt that Rollin was very real. He had doubted himself before, and he was very serious, but by the time he trusted himself, the feeling of doubt was gone. He had saved himself, and he didn't even say anything when it came to saving himself from the orc fortress.

"Your answer has been there for a long time, I believe Katrana. In front of the people and politics, you will be on the side of the people. Rollin's trademark gesture appeared, and he patted Katrana on the shoulder, trusting her.

With a wry smile, Katrana leaned over to Rollin's side and said, "I was a very selfish girl from the beginning, when I left the Presto Manor. I've been through war, and I know the preciousness of happiness, so I want to keep everything for myself. When I had it, I was confused until I came to Stormwind and met Khadgar. As an archmage, he once told me about the experience of a magician, an experience called the Archmage of Lorraine. After I listened to his story, I laughed at him, how can there be such a stupid person in this world, I know that today I understand, you are so stupid, so you don't know what you are. ”

Is this a compliment or sarcasm? Rollin didn't think about it, he shook his head and said, "No, everyone's motives have a starting point, I'm not a fool, and I'm not a saint. I'm doing all this to protect what I need to protect. ”

Guard? This word was unfamiliar to Katrana, and she looked up at Rollin suspiciously and asked, "What are you going to protect?" ”

"It's rude to ask about someone's privacy like that, but of course, if you can exchange information of equal value with it, I can tell you." Rollin was a selfish man once, and he looked at Katrana.

Katrana knew that Rollin was joking with herself, but she bravely puffed up her towering chest and said, "Ask, I'll consider answering." ”

Rubbing his palms, Rollin squinted his eyes and pretended to be nervous and said to Katrana: "What is your motive for coming to me today, I need to listen to the deepest thoughts in your heart, the most sincere thoughts. ”

With a brush, Katrana's fair cheeks turned cloudy, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't want to exchange with you." ”

"Look, the evening sun is so beautiful, I really hope that in this world, I can always see sunsets and sunshine like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rollin left the riverbank.

Katrana looked at Rollin's back, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Strange fool, can the world abandon you?" Besides, even if the world abandons you, I will ......."

At the banquet in the evening, Varian invited a number of nobles. At this banquet, Varian handed over the auction house agreement to Lorraine, and the young King Varian did not specify why, but from his burning gaze, Lorraine saw the king's blood.

Perhaps the young king found an opportunity, as the ruler of Stormwind, to take back what he had from the country.

"Tulayan, the efficiency is quite good, the king has been persuaded by you?" Khadgar nullified a chuckle as he rubbed Tulayan, who was in armor, over his shoulder.

Tulayan glanced at Khadgar with disdain and said, "Don't talk about these useless things, are you deliberately making fun of me?" Katrana is an old acquaintance of Rollin, and a friend with a very unusual relationship. Isn't it easy to buy and sell at auction houses? ”

"yes, I saw Rollin and Katrana go out today. Looking at this posture, the relationship is definitely not ordinary. Khadgar shrunk and chimed in.

Shrugging his shoulders, Tulayan picked up the goblet in front of the table and toasted Rollin.

The dinner party was very pleasant, but at the same time, it also gave rise to a lot of troubles.

The young king, in the midst of the pleasant atmosphere, felt the weight of the pressure more and more.

The representatives of the Blizzard Guild and the Magic Secret Society came to Stormwind City in person, and also reached an agreement with Lord Alonsos, so should he send troops?

The time has not yet been set, but the young king has already reached the first crossroads.

Once again, the world is facing a catastrophe, is it to avoid war? is still like his father, bravely resisting the enemy.

Two years later!

The sunlight of Master Dalaran's platform had just risen from the east, and the quiet and peaceful sunlight had not yet felt the temperature of the stone slab before it was preempted by the diffuse arcane radiance.

A beautiful female mage with blonde hair dressed in a Erudito suit teleported to Dalaran with a small team of Mages from the Apothecary Guild behind her, and she politely saluted Modra and said, "The Mentor has arranged for me to pick up the latest potion that has been developed. In addition, the mages behind me are the backup mages of the second column, and they can be very competent in the follow-up research work of the potion. ”

With her sleek outfit and steady tone, Modra couldn't help but raise her assessment of Rollin's cultivation ability to a higher level again.

"I'll take them to the Apothecary Guild, you go to the Crassus Magister first, I'm sure he's been waiting for you for a long time." Modra said.

With a slight bow, the young and beautiful female mage raised the cold of ebony, the cold breath surged, and a ray of light disappeared on the platform in an instant.

"Gianna, you're here." Crassus put down the document in his hand and said with a smile to the envoy from Silvermoon City.

"The mentor still needs to go to buy supplies today, and in addition, the guild can't issue a convening order for a reward, and the mentor is very busy today."

"He wasn't busy that day, by the way, our ships were ready. As pioneers, Dalaran's ships have landed from the Borean Tundra, the Magical Secret Society's ships have landed from the Howling Windsfjord, and the mages on the reconnaissance mission are elite, and we need to meet up at the dragon camp in front of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep. Crassus stated his plan to Gianna.

Nodding, Gianna took the initiative to stretch out her left hand and said, "I am the leader of the mages who landed in the Howling Wind Sound, and I am happy to cooperate, Archmage Crassus." ”

From a little girl who was still selling cuteness two years ago, to a capable girl like now, Crassus doesn't know what method Rollin used. However, Dalaran and the Secret Society of Magic had a powerful assistant, and Crassus was still very relieved.

"Happy cooperation, I hope that our pioneering mission can make the battle of the Gate of Damnation successfully completed." Crassus said confidently.

Gianna clenched her fists. For this battle, the teacher has spent almost three years. Researching potions, persuading the Alliance to send troops, providing supplies and gold coins, the teacher doesn't know how much time and experience it takes. Hopefully, this battle will end successfully, so that the teacher can rest for a few days.

"Oh, yes. The second column after the silver is also going to set off, do you approve it? Gianna volunteered.

Second column? Sounds familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, Crassus hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Prince Arthas's team, no, when he marches with the alliance army, he cannot participate in our pioneering mission. ”

"Alright then, I'll let Selyn explain it to him."

"The envoy of Stormwind is still in Violet Castle, do you want to go and discuss with her as well?" Crassus reminded Gianna.

Gianna pursed her lips and asked, "Who is this envoy?" ”

"Katrana, your teacher's friend."

Hearing Catlana, Gianna snorted angrily and said, "What a friend, just an old woman." ”

"Official, little Gianna, you haven't gotten to the point where your teacher is not shocked." Crassus instructed Gianna to say.

The teacher is mine! Gianna didn't back down either, she said, "I'll go, of course I'll go." This female noblewoman sends letters to Silvermoon City every day, and she has not yet named herself as the teacher's confidante. I'm going to see what kind of confidante I am today. ”

"You're here to discuss the deployment of the army, not to quarrel." Crassus Head Boulevard.

Gianna nodded symbolically and said, "Okay, okay, I got it." Tutor Crassus, you're a lot more wordy than your teacher. ”

"Ah, isn't this Gianna, the little beauty of Silvermoon City? What, running errands for your teacher again? Luo Ning walked out of the lifting platform and said with a smile.

This unscrupulous magician doesn't bother to pay attention to you. Gianna shrugged her shoulders and trotted out of the temple.

"It's quite arrogant, it seems that Rollin has spoiled her over the years." Ronin said.

Crassus shoved a large pile of documents to Ronin and said, "Alright, check it carefully so that there are no mistakes." Fifteen days to go, our battle will begin. ”
