Chapter 62: The Future
"Little girl, your appetite is even more amazing than the strongest velociraptor I've ever seen!"
In the face of the knight king's bottomless appetite, even the dwarven explorers who have traveled south and north all year round and have seen a lot of knowledge have to sigh. This girl, who looks like a human descendant, has already eaten the weight of three wolves!
"Huh? Uncle, don't you have enough to eat? ”
As if she had just reacted, the girl took out a handkerchief, wiped her greasy palm, stood up, and walked towards the outskirts of the camp, "I'll go and replace Lotherma and Liadrin." ”
Looking at the girl's breezy appearance, Brian couldn't help but pat his face, the big stomach king just now was really this elegant little girl in front of him? You can't be mistaken, right?
"I'm also full, go to exercise."
In a silent atmosphere, the elven paladin finally restrained his heartless expression, got up and quickly followed the knight king, he still had some questions in his heart that the other party needed to solve.
Under the gloomy night, Roland sat on the roof of the carriage in the outermost circle of the camp, looking at the knight king who closed his eyes and listened to the evening breeze under the carriage, his eyes flashed a little: "Arthur, I think you owe me an explanation"
Originally, I thought that the appearance of the Knight King was just a chance encounter, but on the night when the fire was lit in Stratholme, what the other party did seemed to be a little unexpected.
She doesn't look like a summoned creature of her own, but a unique individual. Coupled with the contract that the other party sang by sealing the girl into a card, it seems that the appearance of the other party was not accidental, but Gaia's special arrangement?
"What's the explanation?" The knight girl opened her eyes and looked up at the elf on the roof of the carriage.
"About the seal card, and Gaia", Roland looked straight at the emerald eyes, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and slowly moved his right hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist, "I guess you're not the kind of summon I imagined, right?" ”
The Knight King smiled, his bright smile shining brightly under the beating firelight, "You think too much, as your card creatures, we can never betray you." Even Mother Gaia, after giving you this set of cards, lost control of us and was only able to get specific data on how the cards were running. ”
"As for the seal card this time, the reason why we were able to succeed is because that child's life breath is extremely fragile, has no intention of resisting, and is willing to make a vow to defend Azeroth forever, so this world will instinctively provide us with energy."
Speaking of this, a hint of cunning crossed the girl's face, "Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be drained on the spot." You must know that only when you reach a high level can the holy energy in your body be able to afford the energy required by the sealing creature, if the energy is not enough, it will directly draw the life force of the caster. ”
"It's also part of the bargain between Mother Gaia and the other party, and they use the Descenders of this world to figure out the rules that the other has in their hands. To put it simply, they are playing a gamble with your descending souls. ”
"Gamble?" Roland didn't understand what the Knight King meant, wasn't this a mutually beneficial thing, why couldn't the will of the two worlds cooperate with each other, but rather do more?
"Because it's not just the two of them who are involved in this gamble", although Roland's confusion was seen, the Knight King did not elaborate further, but walked to the camp, leaving Roland alone on the roof of the car to blow the wind.
For a long time, the elf sitting on the roof of the car shivered in the wind, and then, he figured it out. No matter what is the inside story between Gaia and the will of this world, what does it have to do with himself? For the current self who can't even beat the five scum in battle, being careful to save his life is the most important thing!
With the thought in mind, the elven paladin jumped out of the carriage and planned to go back to the campfire to warm up.
When Roland returned to the campfire in the middle of the camp, the exiles of Seryrk and Braumuss had decided on the course of the future.
They will temporarily follow Illusia to the Barov family, and despite being banished by Lordaeron, the true paladin of Serijek is determined to do his part in the possible orc war. As for the aftermath of the Orc War, the childhood sweethearts will travel to Kurlatis for the rest of their lives.
As for their decision, Illusia, who has always been worried about the future, of course welcomed it with both hands. Although these two men have lost their family power, both paladins and priests are scarce resources in human society. Even if it can only help her family a little, she will not let it go.
As for the dwarven adventurer, although he wants to return to Ironforge as soon as possible, it seems that the shadow left on him by the North Sea pirates is too deep. He planned to travel south from the wetlands to his homeland via the Arathi Heights.
In other words, after boarding the boat at the docks of the Sodoril River tomorrow, the team will soon go their separate ways, and the only people who will end up heading south to Stormwind will be the three High Elves and Roland's follower, the Knight King.
In the cold stone room, a man was half-kneeling in the center.
The flickering candlelight shone on the man's face, and the intersection of light and shadow set off this fierce face hideously and terrifyingly. He lowered his head, not daring to look at the terrible mage, he was not only afraid of the other party's terrifying power, but also afraid that the other party would see the bitter hatred in his eyes.
The elven mage leaned against the wooden table, looking at the test subject kneeling in front of him and exuding the aura of death, revealing a satisfied expression.
"Jonah? Sterling, my Lord will give you a chance to prove your abilities, and if you succeed, He will grant you supreme strength! Go and collect the Northland pirates and take all of Lordaeron's strongholds in the Northlands. ”
He thought for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table quickly, and said to himself, "Well, I'll find you another companion." ”
With that, the mage clapped his palms, and the door hidden in the shadows opened, and a thin figure shrouded in black robes slowly walked out. Because of the armor he was wearing, the shadow's steps were heavy and slow, and there was a sound of metal colliding from time to time as it went.
"Lord Darkan", the black knight half-knelt on the ground, respectful and humble.
Looking at the black knight half-kneeling on the ground, the elven mage showed an intoxicated expression, as if he was looking at a cherished work of art. Obviously, the finished product in front of him was more important to him than the half-finished pirate next to him.
"Follow Jonah? Sterling, help him with his mission. Also, contact the Viku people and bring me greetings and kindness from our Lord. ”
After giving the order, the elven mage glanced back at the former pirate leader, "Pirate, I can see the hatred in your eyes, but that's okay. For you can never betray our master, our lord is merciful, and as long as you complete his task, you will get everything you want. ”
At this, he paused, a hint of banter flashing across his face, "Remember what I said, future King of the Northlands. ”
