Chapter 13 The human heart seems to be treacherous, and it is empathetic according to the situation

After the figure of the corpse girl disappeared into the night, Arthas also put down the envelope in his hand and fell into deep thought.

After a while, the tent behind him suddenly made a soft "bang", and in the originally empty light shadows, there was no wind to automatically spread out a ripple like a wave, and then a spacious lilac cloak was lifted in the air like magic, and then, a short, broad-waisted funny figure stumbled out,

With a rock-like face, long white whiskers tied into several silk braids, and a barrel-like body that is round and wide at the top, this is simply a typical image of the dwarf of Azeroth, who awkwardly sheds his "narrow and slender" cloak and complains:

"Thanks to those pointy ears and boasting that it was a treasure blessed by the moon god, they couldn't even hide an old dwarf, and they were almost discovered by the female human."

Hearing this familiar and hearty voice, the prince, who was a little depressed by the reminding of the past, felt a warm heart, turned to look at the rugged dwarf who was clumsily arranging his clothes and armor, and couldn't help but laugh and tease: "Mentor, you really should drink less strong wine...... During the last Queen's Glorious Celebration, the elves had just sent this Night Cloak. If this continues, I won't be able to find a second copy for you. ”

"A dwarf who doesn't drink, is that still a dwarf?" The dwarf known as the "Mentor" muttered, quickly changed the subject, and said seriously: "Arthas, you trust that guy who is hiding so much? Give the entire half of the treasury to that woman, and even take the 'secondary invincible potion' to give away, don't you be fascinated by that woman's appearance, right? ”

"How is that possible?" Arthas shook his head and sneered, "I don't know exactly what the woman was all about, but the Light responded to me that she had no breath of life...... Of course, it's not like those stenching undead, but it can't be ruled out that it's a new class of the opponent. ”

"And ...... you?" Although you are the younger brother of the dwarf king, the dwarf, who has no political sense, asked dumbfounded.

"It's just a small temptation." Arthas's eyes were calm, and he replied indifferently: "The secondary invincible potion may be a treasure for others, but for me who has mastered the 'Holy Shield Technique', it is of little use because of the Holy Energy Load. If this is a conspiracy planned by the other party, the bottle of potion that I added to it, once it senses the evil aura of fifteen yards around, it will immediately burst out, even if it can't hurt the person behind the scenes, the agitation of the holy power can't be concealed, and if the potion is detonated in advance, I will naturally understand that this is a trap. As for those things that are arranged for engineers to prepare......"

The prince pondered for a moment and continued, "Those things are useless anymore, and the battles of these days have proven that it is not as valuable as we thought. And if the current situation continues, in about four days, my alliance with you will be able to wipe out the entire army of those fallen black knights, and at that time, I will personally lead the army, and I will naturally be able to make those filthy evils pay the price. ”

"And," Arthas looked hesitant, tapped his fingers on the wooden table, and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that our battle this time has gone too well. Faced with the inevitable death situation in the near future, the other party did not make any changes in response, it was as if he was waiting for death...... I don't believe it, the last time the light hit that monster burned out its rotten brain. ”

"Don't worry, even if there are seven or eight more of those cold bone scum, I'll protect little Arthas, wahahaha!" The dwarf didn't have so many concerns, and slammed the iron armor on his chest and laughed heroically.

"Maybe it's my delusion." Arthas also suppressed the gloom in his heart, and smiled reluctantly, but there was another thought in his heart: "You can use this opportunity to test, if the other party does not lie, you can attack this evil city tomorrow night." After all, the essence of war is only the wrestling of swords and armor, and even if there is any art of war and trickery, it is absolutely impossible to resist the pressure of strength. ”

Under normal circumstances, there was nothing wrong with the battle-hardened prince's arrangement, but he could not have predicted what kind of terrifying darkness he was about to face......

……

Compared with the smooth transaction between the corpse girl and the prince's camp, Rorschach's side has encountered the biggest crisis since participating in this plane adventure.

The fatal crisis of being exposed and then cramped by countless undead.

"You're not Schiller."

These were the first words spoken by a mature woman with curly blond hair and a delicate face that had faded from her purple veil and stepped into the wooden house where Rorschach had temporarily stayed.

"Ha, Lord Farina, you're really kidding...... If it weren't for Schiller. Cohen, who could it be? Even if he was faintly conscious, but he didn't expect that this woman didn't play any mysteries and went straight to the point, Rorschach's heart couldn't help jumping, and he reluctantly laughed and asked with a smile.

"I didn't mean to joke with you." The woman known as "Farina" replied with a calm face, "You are very clever, and you have done a very good job of intelligence, and you actually found Schiller, who was ostracized by the natives from the Eastern Continent Kingdom, and replaced him, but ......"

With a slight smug smile, Farina continued, "You don't know that although most of the cultists were killed by Arthas during the time of Lordaeron, and many betrayed His Highness the Lich King, and finally smuggled into this icy land to follow the teachings, there are still some leftovers, Schiller is one, and I ...... It's the other one. ”

We, the intelligence services? No, did she think ...... Wait, this is called - self-cleverness?

Rorschach showed a strange complexion, and immediately understood that the other party had some kind of misunderstanding that he was happy to see, but his face was deliberately vigilant, and his hand was even more caressing the short blade around his waist, but finally he was relieved, and said in a deep voice:

"Tell me, do you want to expose me for a reward, or do you want something else from me...... Just say it. ”

This lack of resistance made Falina stunned, and she was slightly surprised: "Don't you want to try, with your weapon, can you cut off my head at these distances?" ”

Rorschach shook his head and raised his finger to reply: "I'm not the kind of fool who only cares about what is in front of me, let's not talk about your superb spell ability, with my second-rate martial arts skills, even if I kill you by luck, I think, the back hand you left behind is bound to activate, although those bones and scum are intellectually low, but they will never be stupid enough to think that a person without the slightest magic ability will be a real member of the Cursed Cultists, not to mention, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, with my appearance that is incompatible with the people around me, just uncovering the mask is enough to kill me." ”

This coherent answer is not unusual, but being able to maintain this casual calm before facing the crisis of death, Falina couldn't help but restrain her smile, glanced at the young man deeply, pressed the murderous intent in her heart, and suddenly gave him a surprise advice.

"I can guarantee your safety here, and even help you get the information out there."

"What?" Rorschach was surprised.

Seemingly satisfied with Rorschach's surprised expression, the woman smiled slightly and continued, "Presumably you didn't expect that even the internal members of the Scourge Legion would be locked off to this town at night, right? The information you've worked so hard to get out of here won't be meaningless if you can't get it out. Even if it continues like this, you can't even guarantee your own safety, you know, although those fools of Green are a little stupid, they have also noticed your abnormality, although for the time being they only think you are lazy, but with the fierce battle, there will definitely be a range of necromancers that require the participation of many people, and that staff can't give you a real level of magic power, and you will definitely be exposed at that time. ”

"However, once you have my support, with my roots in the Cursed Sect, it will be easy to help you cover the past. Moreover, the layout of the 'Ring of Silence' Psychic Tower Array is arranged by me leading the acolytes, although it is generally impossible to change, but I have left a slight gap in the magic network, although it is impossible to pass through humans, I can rely on other means to pass the letters......"

As she spoke, she pointed casually, and there was a sudden "chirp" on the ground, and the soil cracked, and a white weasel the size of a palm was drilled, jumping and jumping, and stood on Farina's shoulder in three or two clicks, her small eyes turned slightly, her claws were curved, and she looked at Rorschach with a very spiritual surname.

Obviously, the "means" she refers to rely on the weasel to reach the outside world from the underground through a pre-arranged route. As for the question of how a rat mammal finds the prince's barracks, and how to prove his identity, there are too many solutions in a world where magic is rife.

"Why?" It must be said that these all-encompassing arrangements made Rorschach a little confused, and for a while he couldn't recognize whether this woman was really ready to "surrender", and he didn't hide it, and asked directly, "With all due respect, compared to the terrible forces of the Lich King, the expeditionary force led by Arthas is tired and lacks sufficient supplies, and the chances of victory are slim, so why should you do this?" ”

"I just want to live," Farina sighed faintly when she heard this, "There is probably a glimmer of life for the prince's army to go to refuge, and if you continue to stay here, you will definitely be dead." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Don't pretend to be garlic, haven't you noticed something unusual about this town?" Falina glanced at him and said to herself: "In the whole town, except for some inferior 'black knights' who have long lost their manufacturing value, there are only some abominations that can be put together as long as there are enough corpses, and even the lich who is the main person is also a monster whose soul is immortal. Against the army led by the Prince of Arthas and another unknown dwarven hero, this stronghold does not have a meat grinder, obsidian destroyer, or even a death knight to command an army. Most of the members of the sect sent here were only low-level students with little training, and this constant and tight lockdown day and night was more like preventing the clever living from escaping than resisting external attacks. ”

"We are already the outcasts of His Majesty the Lich King, and since it has abandoned us, it can't blame us for pursuing our own way of life," Farina bit her lip and said the final conclusion: "I joined the Cult of the Damned to live forever and stay young, not to be those lowly and ugly rotten flesh and bones!" ”

In the face of such an emotional performance, Rorschach couldn't help but applaud, raised his head, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that there would be a smart person like Lady Falina in the Lich King's camp, in that case, I will write to His Royal Highness the Prince, let him know all this, and when the city is broken, I will naturally let you leave safely." ”

"No," Falina shook her head, "I don't believe your words, I still remember the history of His Royal Highness the Prince's plan to strangle two thousand mercenaries." I have helped you, and when the time comes, I cannot guarantee that the jealous prince will really spare a degenerate like me, or that 'purifying' me with the light will be the greatest mercy for him. ”

Hearing her say "antecedents", Rorschach raised an eyebrow. Silenced, he also knew about it, and this was probably the only stain on the Northern Expedition of Alsace. Shortly after the Northern Expeditionary Army landed in Northrend, Arthas, who was fighting against the undead, suddenly received a secret letter from his own father, the current king of Lordaeron, Terenus. Minahill".

In the letter, the distressed father believed that the limelight had passed, and for his safety, ordered his son, who had made a big mistake, to return to the royal capital. It's just that Arthas, who was filled with hatred at that time, was almost enchanted, how could he listen to persuasion? However, he still didn't dare to disobey his father's orders openly, so he had to secretly instigate the indigenous mercenaries he hired to burn his fleet of ships overnight, and cut off his own back road with this kind of behavior of emulating the overlord of Western Chu to "break the kettle and sink the boat"; Taking the opportunity to claim that the mercenaries had actually betrayed the Lich King, he then commanded the angry army to slaughter the poor natives, covering all traces with blood, and finally kidnapping the entire army to continue the northern expedition.

This kind of black-and-white desperate method can hide from his subordinates, but it is impossible to deceive the Cataclysmic Legion who was inexplicably carried by the black cauldron, but the two sides are naturally opposing mortal enemies, and even if they are publicized, they will only be regarded as a smear of wasted effort, so they have always tacitly understood each other.

"And what do you want?" Rorschach couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, I've already prepared information on the deployment of the undead army in the town of Henim and a roadmap for the magic of the 'Ring of Silence'. These things are enough to turn Arthas's onslaught of human lives into a planned ploy, avoiding the loss of more than half of his troops, and even when he attacks, I can lead my men to kill all the other disobedient fools. These values ...... Enough for him to sign an arcane pact in his name, a pact made by his unforgeable paladin light. ”

Speaking of this, Falina couldn't help but smile sweetly, and said generously: "Even if it wasn't for you, I had already made a plan, but I'm not sure if the prince would believe me." This information is much more detailed than what you can find from the periphery...... Don't you want such a big credit, Mr. Spy? ”

Of course I don't, because I'm not a messy spy at all, and that Alsace guy doesn't even want to pay his salary, maybe he even wants to cut me down! But in this way, she didn't have a backup plan that I participated in, so it was the original "history".

Rorschach mocked in his heart, but with an interested look on his face, he stretched out his hand directly.

"It's a pleasure to work with."
