Chapter 016: Servants

The Arathi Plateau, an empty plateau not far south of Lordaeron. Even at such a high altitude, the plateau has not been flooded with marshes and wetlands due to prolonged rainfall. So this place has been a good place for garrison cultivation since ancient times.

At this time, the sky in the Arathi Highlands was overcast. Hundreds of thousands of orcs were stationed on the plateau, and the smoke from their weapons and cooking created a black cloud the size of a beast in the sky.

And on top of a high cliff, a young orc wearing a cloak, holding an umbrella in his hand, looks to the north, as if looking for something.

"Is that Lordaeron over there?" muttered the young orc. At this time, he was immersed in the joy of destroying the Stormwind Kingdom, and he didn't even sleep, so he ran to the top of the place early, trying to find their next target.

"What are you looking at, Thrall?" a majestic voice sounded behind the young orc.

"Father?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Thrall turned and walked towards the middle-aged orc.

This middle-aged half-orc wearing a wolfskin helmet is the chief of the Frostwolf Clan, Durotan. Unlike the brutality of the killing practiced by other orc kinds, he retains a rare sense of rationality and mercy in this warlike race. But this rationality and kindness made his people and the rest of the clan incompatible.

Touching his son's head, Durotan also learned from Thrall to look into the distance, but there seemed to be nothing else but the endless mountains. What the hell is this little guy looking at?

"Father, behind that mountain range, there should be our next target, Lordaeron. Little Sal pointed to the northern part of the Alterac Mountains, known as the "Spine of the Giants."

"It should be. Seeing his son's eager and expectant eyes, Durotan felt a trace of displeasure in his heart. On the plateau, his own people are in full swing building weapons and equipment and chariots, and from time to time some orcs are catching and practicing in battle. It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic about this war, even to the point of fanaticism. Passion for war?Durotan couldn't help but laugh, when did the noble orcs become a group of brutal and bloodthirsty monsters?damn Gul'dan, that was their great chieftain, the supreme commander of the entire orc legion. But he turned his own people into this...

It's ridiculous...

"Sal, have you forgotten your father's usual teachings?" Durotan still looked to the far north.

"No... It's just..."

"Remember, Sal. Force and war can never bring a stable life to the people, only peace and stability can make our clan and even the entire orc tribe survive for a long time. ”

"Father..."

Can this kind of rule by force really bring the future of the people? Durotan was very worried. But as the head of the clan, he could not change the decision of the Great Chief Gul'dan at all. He even felt that all that the Orc Legion was doing now was a conspiracy planned by Gul'dan... But these were all his conjectures, and he couldn't come up with any evidence right now.

"Let's go, Sal, your mother is waiting for you in the tent. Taking little Sal's hand, Durotan slowly walked towards the Frostwolf Clan's garrison.

Looks like something has to be done...

...

Kel'thugad?What a familiar name...

But at this time, Xue Huan couldn't find any information about this name even if he wanted to break his head.

"If the demonic heart has been fused now, will I never suffer like that every night in the future?"

"Theoretically, yes. Kel'thugad nodded.

After receiving an affirmative reply from Kel'thugad, Xue Huan breathed a sigh of relief. For several days in a row, he would wake up in pain every night, affecting his sleep, and he was afraid that something would go wrong with his heart. Now that he knows that there is nothing wrong with his body, and it has been strengthened, how can this not surprise Xue Huan? As for what kind of spell it is, anyway, he can't use it for the time being, so let's talk about it later.

Well, now only one last question remains...

"You won't just follow me like this in the future, will you?" Xue Huan carefully organized his language. After all, although theoretically, the other party was summoned by himself, and he also claimed to be the master. But if one really accidentally angers this guy, I'm afraid that the other party can take his own life by releasing a few spells casually. If he said these words again, would he believe them all? Obviously impossible. If you can get out of this trouble, it's obviously the best...

I have to say that since Xue Huan first came to this world, in just a few days, his thoughtfulness and experience have been greatly improved. Although he is also relatively intelligent, the environment is the weapon to develop the potential of the human body. Xue Huan, who has just stepped into this world and can only play a little clever, is now gradually growing...

But although Xue Huan's idea was very good, what Kel'thugad said made him frown.

"I'm sorry my host, although you don't seem to like me too much. But unfortunately, since I was summoned by you, I will surely follow in your footsteps forever. Kel'thugad said respectfully, as always.

It's troublesome, no, it's quite a hassle. Now that the sky is gradually starting to get brighter, imagine what those workers would think if Xue Huan returned to the farm and was followed by such an obviously non-human species? Although he didn't think that there would be anyone on this continent who would deliberately deal with a small role like himself, how could Xue Huan rest assured that he would let this kind of species whose identity was not even clear be by his side?

Looking at Xue Huan's suspicious appearance, Kel's Sugaard said calmly: "Dear master, although I can't remember many things now. But some of the most advanced spells I can easily cast, if the master can take me with him. I would be happy to serve the owner!"

I have to say that this condition is very tempting for Xue Huan. First, you can have a free thug, after all, in this world where magic fighting skills are rampant, it is very difficult for an ordinary person like Xue Huan to survive. Second, if you want to learn magic and return to your own world, why bother looking far, isn't there a ready-made one now?

And the most important thing is, it seems that he can't get rid of this guy at all now, after all, he is just an ordinary person, and that guy can magic, even if he runs to the edge of the sky, the other party should find it...

Looking at Kel's ghostly figure, Xue Huan hesitated... And Kel'thugad also tacitly did not say anything more. One person and one skeleton faced each other like this, except that Kel'thugad was floating in mid-air, while Xue Huan was slumped on the ground.

After a long time, Xue Huan, who lowered his head and pondered, breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had made the most important decision in his life.

"So... All right. ”

Now, Xue Huan can only accept reality. But how do you explain it to the workers and to Simon? It's a problem.

What Xue Huan didn't know was that Kel'thugad had only recently been separated from his body, and his memories had been lost. But before that, he was an undead creature who had survived for hundreds of years, and he had experienced all kinds of darkness in this world and the baptism of the world, how could he not see through Xue Huan's thoughts at this time. Therefore, Kel'thugad dispelled Xue Huan's concerns on the spot: "Dear master, if you are afraid that others will see me, then you don't have to worry, after all, I am just a spirit now!"

"Spirit?" Another name that puzzled Xue Huan appeared.

"Yes, master, the so-called spirit body is a soul creature, and I am in this state and will not be seen by ordinary people. Unless the other party is a priest or paladin with high mental power. This is one of the reasons why I can't leave you, because if I get too far away from you, I can't survive alone as a spirit. ”

I see...

"If the master wants, I can even stay in the master's spiritual realm, so I will not have a substance, you just need to talk to me subconsciously. When the master needs my help, he can release me again. ”

"Lodge in my spiritual realm, then the control of my body is...?" After all, in the novels that Xue Huan once read, it seems that once someone controls the spirit, then the whole body is someone else's.

"Naturally, it's yours, you can just talk to me subconsciously, I don't have any control over your body. ”

These words made Xue Huan throw away his last worries.

"Since you choose to follow me, then I also have a few conditions here, please be sure to agree to me. Xue Huan raised his head and looked at Kel's dark and empty eyes. Even though he was a little hesitant now, he considered that in the future, he would have to make a three-chapter agreement with this undead creature. After all, although he is called a master and servant, he has no ability to restrain this guy at all.

"Please show me. ”

"First, in the event of any emergency, you must follow my orders. Second, you can only stay in my subconscious, and you can't come out without my permission. The last point is that as soon as you regain your memory or have any way to get out of my body, you must leave immediately. After saying his conditions in one breath, Xue Huan swallowed his saliva.

He felt that the conditions he proposed were a bit harsh, after all, the other party's strength was much stronger than his own. Have you ever seen the strong party unconditionally agree to the terms of the weak? But Xue Huan is also gambling, although he doesn't know what this guy's appearance means, but obviously he is not hostile to himself, so why don't you be stronger, seize the initiative in your own hands, and you will not be constrained by him in the future.

Xue Huan's idea was certainly good, but he forgot that this was a world that didn't talk about treaties, only about strength. Even if Kel'thugad agrees to Xue Huan's conditions now, once he repents in the future, Xue Huan will have nothing to do with him.

"Yes, my lord. At this time, Kel'thugad obviously didn't think so much, and still saluted Xue Huan respectfully, as if he believed that the other party was his master.

Finally solved a trouble... Xue Huan breathed a long sigh of relief in his chest.

It's getting brighter.

Xue Huan, who had regained some strength, stood up with the trunk of the tree beside him, and he had to rush back to the farm before the workers got up.

"Let's go, Kel'thugad. To avoid accidents, you'd better go back to my body for now. "Although Xue Huan doesn't think there will be any paladins or priests at Knorr Farm, safety points are always good.

"Yes!"

Kelsugadesen's white bony hands were clasped in front of his chest, and he muttered a spell that Xue Huan couldn't understand. After a while, Kel'thugad became more and more blurred under Xue Huan's eyelids, and finally turned into a light blue light that floated into Xue Huan's forehead.

Bizarre time-travel, the mysterious Dais, and Kel'thugad, who calls himself his master. Xue Huan felt that things were getting more and more complicated......
