His identity has been suspected...

Although he didn't want to admit this fact, when Xue Huan had eaten breakfast arranged by his attendants early this morning and was about to go to visit some of Lordaeron's other ministers, his keen perception still helped him gain insight into the rats hiding in the shadows.

Could it be Galya?

It's not impossible.

That girl always had a feeling that Xue Huan couldn't guess, and her cold and arrogant eyes were secretive, as if they contained endless mysteries.

Although he didn't know where he had revealed his flaws, it was the fifth day that he had been in Lordaeron, and in those five days, except for the first dinner, Terenus had not summoned him again.

This made Xue Huan feel a little uneasy...

With less than ten days left before the plague erupted, he had to tread more carefully to avoid a ruined plan.

For this reason, he was forced to abandon his original plan and turn around to the southern part of the city.

He didn't know where he was supposed to go, he just had to find something to do in order to get rid of these annoying stalkers.

Wander leisurely through the streets of Lordaeron, feeling the bustling atmosphere on both sides of the road. Compared to the city-state of a year ago, which was plagued by the clouds of war, Lordaeron is now more lively and prosperous.

The shouts came and went, and the women and children also showed knowing smiles.

Maybe this is a treasure place for people to make pilgrimages, a home for the living, but for Xue Huan, it is just a sad place. He left all his wanderings and remorse here, and before long he would cut off the past with his own hands and end the pain.

Before he knew it, he was walking to the door of a tavern.

To be honest, Xue Huan hated this kind of smoky place, whether it was in his past life or now, this kind of air mixed with greasy smells, and those butchers with tattoos, fat heads and big ears, were the objects of his disgust.

He had the impression that no one liked to stay in such a place, except for some people who were boastful, who liked to show off and depravity.

However, he also knew that since ancient times, places like taverns have always been the best place for adventures, after all, there are many people here, and he has nothing to do under strict surveillance anyway, so it is better to simply go in and take a stroll.

Moreover, in Xue Huan's memory, although this guy Odirika is a noble lord, he is an out-and-out gentleman, and this kind of luxurious and erosive place may be the best place to hide his identity.

With these thoughts in mind, Xue Huan pushed open the wooden door of the tavern and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, an unpleasant smell of erosion came to his face, Xue Huan had to cover his nose and look coldly, only to see a shirtless man holding a roast leg of lamb in one hand, while spitting and telling something.

Feeling this pungent and unpleasant smell, if it weren't for the fact that he had become a death knight who worshiped the corrupt power for his life, maybe he really couldn't stand it.

Xue Huan frowned, and after ordering a leg of mutton and ale at the attendant, he reluctantly found a corner and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he heard some drinkers next to him discussing something loudly, Xue Huan pricked up his ears and listened, only to suddenly realize that these guys were actually discussing the orc war a year ago.

"Listen to me, I've personally experienced that terrible war, and you can imagine the gathering of tens of thousands of Imperial soldiers! At the last moment, under the leadership of the great General Uther, we were able to defeat the green-skinned monsters. ”

A thin, withered mercenary was surrounded by a crowd of people, his eyebrows fluttering, his hands and feet still gesturing, making some comical movements that Xue Huan thought were ridiculous, as if he had really experienced that period of history himself.

Every time he made a wonderful telling, he would attract bursts of cheers and admiration from those present.

But it's also normal...

Azeroth is too vast for the average mercenary in Lordaeron, like ants living in the Infinite Desert, never knowing what lies on the other side of the desert. They used to have dreams, or to become paladins, or to become great magicians, but after they really came into contact with reality, they found that these dreams were too far away from them, so for them, as long as there was a hero to worship, and a legend to reminisce, it was enough.

"Still, these are the little things, do you know who really laid the foundation for that victory?"

The mercenary, who was as weak as a thin monkey, chewed the barbecue in his mouth hard, and pretended to laugh mysteriously, and this series of actions also successfully aroused everyone's curiosity, making the big men present look sideways.

Everyone wants to know who the mysterious person this guy is...

Even Xue Huan unconsciously set his eyes on the mercenary, as a person who participated in that war in the real sense, he also wanted to hear what this guy could say.

"It is said..."

The thin monkey squeezed his eyebrows, he seemed to enjoy the hungry gaze of the crowd around him, and after whetting everyone's appetite, he said slowly: "That hero of Lordaeron has been blessed by the ancient gods, he is the embodiment of a dragon, he holds a magic wand, he is invincible, and he wields unknown powerful magic, even the powerful orc chieftain can't match it, according to my estimate, that guy's strength may have reached the terrifying demigod level." ”

After talking nonsense, the thin monkey poured a sip of wine into the flask, ignoring the surprised gazes of the surrounding crowd.

After listening carefully to this boast on the side, Xue Huan sneered in his heart, what is the incarnation of a dragon, what is the blessing of the ancient gods, if there is really such a god-like person, do you still need Uther, what are those guys in Farrar doing?

Not only did Xue Huan not believe it, but even the big men around the thin monkey also made a fuss, and it was obvious that the thin monkey was blowing up this time.

What kind of existence is the demigod level, these onlookers are still very clear.

In the legend, the characters who have reached the level of demigods are all world-destroying existences, and every time they use magic, they will cause the heavens to fall apart and the sea to flow backwards.

However, with the exception of some legendary creatures, such as elves and dragons, no one has ever reached this level among humans, and even Paladin Uther, who is as strong as Uther, has barely reached the lord level only after the orc war.

"You're lying to the kids!"

"How could there really be those things!"

Facing the boos around him, the thin monkey also seemed a little anxious, he slapped his thigh, and shouted: "I don't believe it, okay! Then I will tell you the details of the mysterious hero." ”

"Say it quickly!"

"Yes, you say, we will believe you when you say it. ”

"Huh!

With a snort from his nose, the thin monkey tore off another large piece of mutton with his mouth, "The hero is very young, with long black hair, even his eyes are black, and he holds a crystal wand in his hand. ”

"You know, even Uther and Ser Lothar lost their ability to resist, but at the most critical moment, that hero stepped forward and turned the tide of the battle with magic that even I didn't know, so that the entire alliance could achieve a hard-won victory. ”

The people below listened with relish, and the heroic deeds have been sought after by ordinary people since ancient times, and several young men excitedly asked: "What happened to the hero?"

"I don't know..."

The thin monkey took a sip of wine and shook his head, "Later, King Terenus sent a message saying that he was dead, but I don't know the exact circumstances, because after that war I quit the barracks and became a mercenary. ”

"Hey..."

The onlookers sighed in unison, perhaps there is nothing more tragic than the loss of a hero, not to mention that this hero once helped the building to collapse and saved the precarious Lordaeron Empire.

Contrary to the gloomy sadness of the onlookers, Xue Huan's heart was a huge shock - the hero in the mouth of the emaciated mercenary, could it be... Myself?

Xue Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he couldn't imagine that a year had passed, and his story of defeating Orgrim had been circulated into such an exaggerated version.

Perhaps what made Xue Huan even more unexpected was that his prestige was a hundred times more exaggerated than it is now...

At that time, as soon as the Orc War ended, a large number of soldiers who had participated in that war were discharged, some of them became farmers, but many more chose to become mercenaries.

They wandered through the taverns of the various kingdoms, and many of them had witnessed Xue Huan's magnificent feat of defeating Orgrim, but none of them knew the exact origin of the hero.

People always like to worship and mythologize ethereal things, and in this way, Xue Huan became the mysterious hero who saved Lordaeron in everyone's mouth.

Coupled with the fact that Terenus announced the "death" of the legendary hero on a piece of paper at that time, it made people sympathize and admire even more.

On this occasion, many bards wandering the tavern put on a pomp and extolled the glorious deeds of the legendary hero "during his lifetime", and over time, the versions that circulated in the streets became more outrageous than the others.

Until the end, in the mouths of bards and some drinkers, Xue Huan has become a demigod-level figure who can easily slay dragons and destroy the world...

Fate always likes to play with the world...

Perhaps no one could have imagined that the people they praised and admired, who saved them many times, and who they worshipped as "gods", would eventually bring them death, not salvation!

As the number of diners in the tavern grew, so did the number of people surrounding the skinny monkey and listening to the story.

Xue Huan, who was immersed in the story, realized that before he knew it, it was getting late, and the night was the time when these drinkers were drunk and carnivaling.

After drinking the last sip of wine in his hand, Xue Huan coldly glanced at these unaware and self-entertaining living people, got up and walked out of the tavern.

Enjoy the last party!

Because it won't be long before death will come to the city...

As soon as he stepped out of the tavern, Xue Huan felt several pairs of eyes in the dark lock on him at the same time.

Although he didn't show any clues on the surface, Xue Huan smiled coldly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that these rats were so persevering and monitored him all day.

However, in this short half a day, he came up with a way to deal with these snoopers.

A sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, Xue Huan turned around and disappeared into the darkness...
