Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Strange Case
On the second day of arriving at Tallenmere, a bitter cold wind descended from the northern Mighty Fjord, and invaded the entire northern part of Lordaeron. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe entire east of Andorhar, including the Tirisfal Woodland, is covered in snow and ice. These monsoon-like cold snaps did not cross the mountains to the north and invade Quel'Salas this year, and they cried like children who didn't have sugar in their mouths, crying out loud.
After staying in the Yongge Forest for a long time, Luo Lin didn't adapt for a while. He had put his plans on hold today because of the ghost weather outside. Luckily, the fireplace in the inn warms the guests. Merchants, lumberjacks and patrolling soldiers crowded into the inn and never went out.
Rollin took a bottle of rum from the counter, and he always wondered if someone was coming to play a game of GWENT or Heroes of Warcraft with him. However, no civilian would like to talk to a quirky human dressed as a mage. This also leads to the fact that Rollin can enjoy a lot of spacious space to himself in this crowded hotel.
"Have you heard of it, a few days ago at the Farm of Giron, a few grooms died inexplicably." The bearded hunter tugged at his bowstring and said to a few lumberjacks gathered around the fire.
"Don't say it, these days old dead people. It's not just Gallon Farm, it's happening in Northland Talon County as well. Many civilians died under the daggers that sealed their throats, and when they died, their faces were ordinary, without a trace of panic. The lumberjack picked up a bowl of hot soup, blew it a few times, and took a few sips.
The lumberjack next to him smacked his lips and put down the hot soup in his hand, and said, "The local security regiment doesn't seem to have done anything either." They just do routine filings, and then they put this one thing there, and they don't seem to want to care. ”
When the lumberjack finished speaking, his companion next to him put a shoulder on his shoulder, and winked at him.
Shrugging his shoulders, the lumberjack said disdainfully, "I know there are soldiers in the inn, so what, I'm telling the truth." ”
The soldiers were silent, and they didn't seem to have anything to refute.
As soon as this topic was discussed, the strange atmosphere spread throughout the inn as if it were contagious. The hotel, which was still bustling just now, fell silent in an instant.
The guests of the inn knew what was going on, but the newcomer Rollin didn't understand. He was still puzzled by the crackling of burning wood in his cochlea.
Curious, Rollin took out two gold coins from the package and walked to the front of the wine cabinet. He instructed the waiter to prepare him a few glasses of rum and bring them to the lumberjack's table.
There were inexplicably more bottles of rum on the table, and while the lumberjacks and the hunter were still wondering who had brought them, Rollin approached.
"Mind giving me a spot by the fire, it's a little cold over there." Rollin said kindly.
No one would dare to trouble a magician, even if the magician might just be an apprentice magician.
Subconsciously, the lumberjack stepped back and gave Rollin a place.
"You bought this wine?" The hunter asked.
"Yes, you're welcome."
"No merit, Master. I know you're interested in what we've just talked about, but seriously, we've just said everything we know, and there's nothing else to tell you. The hunter said frankly.
Rollin shrugged his shoulders, the corners of his mouth raised, and pushed the rum in front of each of the lumberjacks and hunters.
"That's not the crux of the matter, I want to ask you if there have been any strange organizations that have been promoting some strange beliefs during this time." Rollin asked.
Looking at each other, the lumberjacks collectively shook their heads, indicating that they did not know. But the hunter seemed to have something to say, and he frowned, and just as he was about to speak, the soldiers behind him came up.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but you need to go back to the vigilante with us. We have also been investigating the things you discussed today, and we hope that you will cooperate with us. The captain in iron armor said to Rollin with a serious expression.
This is the first time he has encountered such a situation, and when Rollin was still thinking about how to deal with this matter, the hunters on the side had been pressed down by the soldiers.
"Why did you arrest me, I didn't say anything. Let me go! The hunter struggled.
Waving his hand, Rollin motioned for the hunter to calm down, he took a deep breath and said, "No problem, I can go with you." ”
Captain Soldier, the left hand holding the sword slowly released, he was glad that the magician was a reasonable man.
Compared to Rollin's calmness, the middle-aged hunter was not very calm. Keeping warm in the hotel, he was arrested by the security team of Andorhar because of a conversation. That's something.
Walking to the inn, the biting cold wind instantly enveloped the soldiers and hunters present. No one likes to rush in such ghostly weather, but the captain of the soldier had to do it.
"Captain Kellers, are you sure we don't tie up this magician?" The soldier who followed Rollin asked.
It wasn't the first time Kylorus had dealt with magicians, and he knew that simple tools couldn't restrain these monsters. If they really want to run, how can a rope stop them.
With a wave of his hand, Kellers rejected the soldier's offer.
The howling cold wind mixed with the snow and ice grew stronger, and several times the soldiers were stuck in the snow pits, unable to pull out their legs. Luckily, Rollin was with them, pulling them out of the deep snow with a simple flame element.
It was supposed to take only half an hour to walk, but it took two hours to reach the Knights.
A tower fortress east of Andorhar, when the captain of the soldiers arrived at the fortress, he looked embarrassed.
Kylorus knew that if it weren't for the magician, there might be some moths on the way.
Entering the watchtower, Kellers hurried up to the second floor. He immediately went to the person in charge here, an officer of the Silver Hand, Captain Garithers.
These bizarre cases are discussed in public, and the magician also speaks the core words of sect and faith. Apparently unable to sit still, Garissus hurried down from the second floor, ready to interrogate the mage and the crappy hunter beside him.
Garissus was no ordinary officer. His father was the only son of a former baron of Lordaeron Northlands. During the Second Orc War, Blackwood Lake, his hometown, was destroyed by the Orcs, and he has been in the army ever since. Due to his possession and territory, Garethus rose through the ranks of Lordaeron quickly, and in two years he was promoted from an ordinary lieutenant to Lordaeron's elite troops, the Silver Hand, and reached his current position.
"You're the mage who just talked about a special sect in public?" Garissus sat upright in a wooden chair, interrogating Rollin.
"Well, I guess I didn't commit any crimes, Mr. Knight. I don't think your domineering appearance is not conducive to our conversation this time. Luo Lin said lightly.
Hearing the magician's tone, Gather clenched his fists, and he slammed the wooden table and said, "Presumptuous! On my turf, you are not qualified to speak on the same level as me. Magician, don't think you can use magic to be so unscrupulous, I tell you, if you are really involved in these strange cases, I will send you to the prison of Lordaeron myself! ”
Just sent to prison at this level? Luo Lin looked at the knight's angry appearance, and thought that he would correct himself on the spot.
"Say! How do you know that there are sects operating in our kingdom? Garissus interrogated.
"You know that, too?" Rollin asked rhetorically.
"Nonsense, I didn't know I'd get you here?" Garrissus said impatiently.
Rollin, who had a calm face just now, asked with a serious expression after listening to Garethus's words, "Which army in Lordaeron do you serve, how do you know about this matter?" ”
"Silver Hand! Hmph, what, are you going to take off your disguise? Gather asked, picking up an iron bar.
Members of the Silver Hand? Rollin has a bit of a big head. He could now be sure that these dead civilians should not have been killed for no reason, they should be believers who had been developed by the Church of the Old God. Although Rollin did not agree with this method of killing them outright, it was not something he could control.
When he gave the Shadow Breaker a sample of the Shadow Force, he should have been prepared for a sword hidden in the shadows to take an extreme approach to dealing with these issues.
Now it seems that not only the Shadow Breaker, but even the royal family of Lordaeron have agreed with this approach.
Lorraine could understand what Lordaeron was doing, and the royal family of Minahir certainly did not want an organization to emerge in their rule that could capture the faith and spirit of the people. You must know that kingship and spiritual belief cannot be both. This is something that every ruler knows.
"I know the general situation, but I'm not your enemy." Rollin defended himself.
"You guys take this hunter away, and I'll keep this magician here!"
"But, Captain."
"Get out of here!" Garissus cursed angrily.
There were only two people left on the first floor of the watchtower, Rollin and Gallisus, and Gallisus began to formally examine Rollin and said, "Fart, you think I'm going to take your word for it?" Magicians, it is certainly not easy for someone who can know that this is an organization, and who can also think of dead civilians. Let me tell you, there are not many people who know this layer of information in the Silver Hand! ”
Coughing lightly, Rollin said, "Then you mean, you still have a lot of status in the Silver Hand?" ”
Garissus snorted sharply, he knew that the mage he had met today must have something to do with this incident. Or maybe he knows the inside story.
It can't go on like this, this magician's power may be above himself. Garissus' gaze sharpened, and he temporarily relinquished his right to speak, and then walked back and forth in front of Rollin's eyes.
Suddenly, the iron rod in Garissus' hand flew into the air and smashed into the mage's head without warning.
Rather than bothering with this magician who has serious doubts on his body, it is better to kill him as soon as possible. This will also keep you safe.
The speed of the iron rod was very fast, and Rollin could feel the strong wind coming from the iron rod, and this knight wielding the rod had a lot of strength.
The flame elemental lit up slightly in front of Luo Lin's body, and the scorching flames flickered, and the swarthy iron rod turned into molten iron.
"You've gone too far, knight. This is not the heart of a paladin with a silver hand. Luo Lin said flatly.
Gallisus, who had missed, oozed a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. He drew the long sword at his waist, pointed at Rollin and said, "Why, are you finally going to reveal your true nature, come, let me see what kind of vicious power you control besides magic!" ”
With a wave of his hand, the strong arcane energy directly locked Garissus in place. Rollin rubbed his hands together and said, "Although I know your intentions are good, the way you deal with problems is too extreme. There shouldn't be hidden dangers like you after silver. Tell me, what's your name. ”
Completely immobile, it was the first time Garissus had seen such a spell. He didn't even see the magician's spell casting, and he was imprisoned.
Gallissus was terrified, he feared that he would be killed by the magician. He knew very well that this magician had such powers.
"Garithars, Paladin of the Silver Hand. Magician, you'd better not attack me! Garissus said with a fake tiger.
Lorraine's expression froze for half a second when he heard the name Gallisus. But soon he was relieved.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. But you have to release the hunter first, he's innocent. Also, your recklessness just now left a very bad impression on me. Rollin said, spreading his hands.
"Who the hell are you? The magician of Dalaran? "Gallisus is getting more and more confused, if this magician is a member of that evil sect, I'm afraid he will be dead by now. But if not, where would there be a magician in Lordaeron who knew these things.
"It's just a magician in the elven kingdom, you don't need to know so clearly." Rollin pushed open the wooden door and found that the snowflakes fluttering in the air were already scarce. He turned his head and admonished, "Don't forget, let the hunter go." He had nothing to do with it. ”
The circle of energy that bound him vanished, and Garissus shook his arm. He thought about it, remembering the message of the human mage of the Elven Kingdom.
It was familiar, but he just couldn't remember who he was.
The light in the doorway shone brightly, and Garissus looked at the magician who disappeared into the sky, and walked up to the second floor in a depressed way.
"Kelles, what human is studying magic in the kingdom of the elves?" Garissus asked depressedly.
Kelles shook his head, but he remembered the name of a man: "Meritus Rollin Archmage." I heard that he is a magician who is studying in the elven kingdom, can he be counted as one? ”
There was a thud in his brain, and Garissus slumped into his wooden chair. He shook his head and suddenly realized: "No wonder he knows so clearly and is in trouble!" (To be continued.) )
