Chapter 16: Earning Trust

Taking Wendthor with him, whether he wanted it or not, Ethan and the others quickly left Dark Furnace City and returned to the outside of Blackstone Mountain.

It's hot and dry outside, but it's a little stronger than the lava underground, and at least the air is fresher......

"Phew, there's no difference between the outside and the inside, this damn burning plain, how do we go next?"

Logan had already saddled his weapon behind his back, and then pulled out a cigar to soothe the sulfur smell in his mouth.

The battle seemed a bit rogue, as the group of them were like uninvited guests who broke into someone's home, took away the important property of the other family, and left.

But who told Logan to be out of touch with the dwarves?

"Who the hell are you?"

Windsor used to think that Ethan was sent by the Stormwind Kingdom, but now he didn't feel like it, he had a little prestige in the Stormwind Kingdom, why did this group of people disrespect him at all?

Could it be that the kingdom hired foreign adventurers? It's possible that these people are just collecting money to do things, their goal is only to save themselves, and they don't care if they thank them or want to do something.

"My name is Ethan, and I'm a traveling mage. He pointed to a few people next to him: "They are my companions." ”

Briefly introducing the name, Ethan didn't say much, but emphasized: "We are not sent by the Stormwind Kingdom, and we saved you for another reason." ”

"What is the reason?"

His guesses were all wrong, and Windsor felt that things were getting weirder and weirder, did these guys have some ulterior motives in saving themselves?

"Varian Ureon is missing, you should know about it. ”

"Of course I do. ”

The King had been missing for quite some time, and it was after the disappearance of Varian Urion that the Kingdom of Stormwind gradually descended into chaos, and it was precisely because of the hidden undercurrent that Wendthor ran to the Burning Plains to command the few troops here and was captured by the Black Iron Dwarves in battle.

"I'm going to get back to Varian-Ureon. ”

Wendsol, who had been quietly listening to Ethan's words, suddenly stood up and looked at the young man in front of him with a shocked expression.

He had thought that these guys wanted to use themselves to do something bad for the kingdom, but he didn't expect to hear such an answer.

"Do you know where His Majesty is now?"

From Ethan's previous title to the king, it can be known that these people are not from the Stormwind Kingdom, and they have little respect for Varian-Ureon, and he doesn't think that these people deliberately want to find the missing Varian Ureon because of respect for His Majesty's personality and other reasons.

"What do you want?"

"What I want, His Majesty Varian-Ureon will give me, and it won't endanger the Stormwind Kingdom. There was no need to ask, Ethan knew what the marshal was worried about: "Even I can help you and His Majesty the King to rid the Stormwind Kingdom of the greatest scourge." ”

Wendsol's pupils shrank slightly, and he was trying his best to control his emotions, not wanting to expose the slightest hint of indiscretion: "What do you mean by what you say?"

"Let's be honest, didn't you know that the countess was a black dragon?"

Windsol was reluctant to leave the Blackstone Abyss because he already knew the identity of Onexia, and he was unwilling to go back and die at the hands of the black dragon when there was no way or more obvious evidence to prove it.

In the original game plot, in addition to solving the information that he was arrested and searched by the dwarves, it was to find the slate that could undo the magic that could lift the black dragon's transformation into a human form, and only after obtaining this item, Wendthor would agree to leave the Black Stone Abyss and return to Stormwind City to face the black dragon princess.

Windsor was now sure that the young man in front of him knew a lot of things, and that it didn't feel good, and perhaps the only thing to be thankful for was that the man seemed to be on his side.

"Since you also want to deal with the black dragon, then we should return to the Black Stone Abyss at once. ”

His goal was naturally the slate, but Ethan directly rejected his idea: "No, the most important thing at the moment is to recover Varian Ureon, your Majesty the King is not in a good situation right now." ”

Ethan carefully recalled the information about Varian's disappearance, and it turned out to be quite confusing.

In the original game's plot, there was little explanation for this part of the plot, except for a brief mention of the disappearance of Stormwind King Varian Wryon when he went to sign the agreement, and appeared directly in Stormwind City after the subsequent new version was released.

Ethan was curious about this part of the matter back then, and deliberately checked this plot: Of course, he thought that it was the special circumstances of the national uniform that caused some of the plots not to be opened, but later learned that this was a hole dug by the official, and then this hole was not filled in the game.

It's the official and manga to fill in this plot, but there are many details in it that don't exactly match the information in the game.

It was because of this situation that Ethan had stayed in Shining Gold for quite some time before, and even wanted to go to Stormwind City for a walk.

Until he is sure that the Varian Ureon of this world has not been broken into two people by Onexia with magic, he can conclude that the storyline of this world should follow the framework of the game.

Of course, there are advantages to not being two people, as long as you solve the magic that caused Varian Ureon to lose her memory, and you don't have to worry about how the serendipitous reintegration situation can be perfectly replicated, or use other means to solve that embarrassing situation.

"So we're going to find Varian Ureon as soon as possible, and after we've solved his troubles, we'll go and find the black dragon's troubles. ”

Wendthor didn't speak, although he wanted to emphasize that the black dragon almost controlled the power of the entire Stormwind Kingdom, and there was no way to completely solve this black dragon without the evidence of the past that he said.

Even if His Majesty the King returns, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely solve her, unless the Stormwind Kingdom launches a great purge, and the stakes will be great.

"Just let a black dragon reveal the prototype, this problem is not difficult to solve. ”

Wendsol realized that the young man hadn't thought of this, but he just didn't look down on the slate.

"I have one last question. ”

"What?"

"You can go directly to save His Majesty, why did you come to save me?"

In Ethan's description, Wendsol is indeed dispensable, in fact, he is indeed not an indispensable figure for Ethan, and the only reason Ethan saved him except for the way is that they are a group of outsiders, and it is easier to win trust with Wendsol.

"Because we're going to Theramore. ”

"Theramore?"

Although Gianna Proudmore likes to cheat her father, she is a very shrewd mage, she and others are absolute outsiders, and she also uses a completely different power system from this world, which can easily arouse the vigilance and even hostility of this mage, Ethan does not want to cause trouble for herself, and Wendthall's reputation can win trust for Ethan and them.

"So we're going to Minahill now?"

"Yes. ”

After a brief rest on the Black Rock Mountain, everyone set off again. Windthor was still wearing the same clothes as he had been in his cell, he wasn't in a good condition right now, but no one wanted to stay in the Burning Plains, they just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

From Blackstone Mountain, you can exit the Burning Plains via a mountain path to the Scorching Canyon...... Well, this is not a good place, and everyone can only endure it and go northeast, until they enter the Badlands, where things start to improve, and then they can turn north, and the weather will be much better when they reach Lokmodan.

"It's been a painful journey. ”

After wandering the desolate and scorching heat for so long, Ethan felt that his clothes were filled with a thick smell of sulfur and a strange mixture of sweat.

Everyone, including Windsor, who was already a little more familiar, threw away the clothes they had worn during this time and burned them with a fire, even if they could clean them up with magic, they didn't want to wear them anymore, as if this would make them forget the bad memories they had had before.

After changing into new clothes and arriving at Lokmodan, which is more comfortable in the scenery and climate, the people want to continue north, they do not need to go to Danmoro, they do not need to go to Danmoro, they have just left the steamer and entered the refrigerator, they just need to keep this direction, they will soon reach the wetlands, and then follow the main road, turn west at the fork in the road and walk to the end of the road, and they will come to the port of Minahill.

At this time, the only way to reach Theramore was through the port of Minethil, and there was no dock in Stormwind, and the multi-purpose port planned to be built was currently in the plan, and the nobles who were completely immersed in pleasure were not willing to spend a lot of money to do these things.

It was for this reason that Ethan and the others had to walk a long way and endure Wendthor constantly thinking about it along the way.

Even when he got on the boat, the former marshal was still chattering, but no matter how he talked, he couldn't know the true origin of Ethan and the others.

Here, Ethan didn't dare to casually say that he was from another world, if he said where he came from, Wendsol, who had a good conversation a second ago, would immediately pull out the saber on his waist, and then shout Glory to the Alliance and Ethan They fought hard.

After all, in this world, outsiders do not leave a good impression on the natives, whether it is the Burning Legion or the orcs, they bring this world a tragic war.
