Chapter 196: Tempting Assurance
As a pair of huge wings behind Avena slowly opened, Sylvanas's frozen face finally showed a complicated expression.
The mixture of shock, vigilance, unease, and forced calmness made me wonder how even the lifeless faces of undead creatures could make such rich expressions......
Faced with an angel who could be called a natural enemy (although Avena was not a real angel, but just an angelic apprentice who had just begun to learn about the sacred, but Sylvanas had never seen a real angel and naturally couldn't tell the difference), Sylvanas did not immediately call in the guards outside, as I expected, but said in a still calm tone: "I see...... Ever since I heard the news of the arrival of the Divine Messenger, I have had a premonition of uneasiness, then, today is the so-called Judgment Day? You have come to purify the undead creatures of this world? ”
Are you mistaken? You've definitely misunderstood something!
But I admire Sylvanas's composure at the moment, as an undead, in the face of Anvena in the angel posture, she still maintains such calmness, I have to say that she is a pretty good leader, at least this composure is not comparable to me.
"I think you've misunderstood something," while it was a rewarding thing to scare Nozomi a little, but it was still important to get down to business for now, "If I had considered you enemies, you would now be dealing not with two envoys, but with an entire army, and in fact, Avena and I are not here to preach the righteousness of the Light, but to invite the Forsaken to join our army." ”
At this moment, Sylvanas was shocked......
What? Invite the Forsaken to join the army of angels?! Is this world crazy in this world?
What's even crazier is that this sentence actually came from the mouth of a divine angel! This is crazy! It's like a billionaire inviting an unknown beggar on the side of the road to build a better future!
Sylvanas remained in that stunned position for a long time and didn't move at the face of my explosive remarks, and after a few minutes of playing with a large searchlight with her wings open, Avena finally couldn't hold on, dissipating her little divine power, and instead curiously stepped forward and stabbed Nozomi twice.
"Master, petrified yes~~~"
The above scenes are purely made up in my mind, please choose to forget......
After a full dozen seconds, Sylvanas seemed to finally confirm what she had heard, and looked at me with a pair of blood-red eyes full of shock.
"You're surprised?" I said with a smile.
"Shouldn't I be surprised? In any case, the news you told me is beyond common sense. Sylvanas said, and I noticed that she used the honorific "you" in her salutation, as if she had already believed in our identity - in the face of the angel Avena with the surging light, an earthling who had been educated in science since childhood might still question it a little, but for a standard Azeroth resident like Sylvanas, she would not doubt the identity of the other person at all.
"Don't judge our opinion by your common sense, for to us apostles, undead creatures are equal to any other species, and that good or evil applies only to individual individuals, and it is foolish to label an entire race as good or evil."
Sylvanas was stunned for a moment, then a great surprise, the frost mask that she had to hold for so long in front of the others was now long gone, and she showed everything in her heart without reservation.
Equally!
It turns out that in God's eyes, the dead are not synonymous with evil!
For the first time since she died in the battle to defend Silvermoon City and was turned into an undead creature by Arthas, Sylvanas felt that there was not really a glimmer of light in front of her, leading the Forsaken, a race rejected by all living beings in the entire world, struggling to survive in the cracks, fighting alone under the attack of the remnants of the Catastrophe and the Scarlet Crusaders, Sylvanas had almost forgotten what the word "hope" meant, although she had never despaired, but now, she suddenly felt, You and the people you lead are not just facing an endless dark future!
If the role changes slightly, Sylvanas is an earthling who has no feelings for things like gods, maybe my words will not have much impact on her, but she is an elf who grew up in the world of magic, and under this premise, the "divine messenger" personally told her that the undead are not creatures disgusted by the gods, so a simple single sentence will definitely magnify her touch countless times!
What's more important is my later sentence, "It's extremely stupid to label the entire race as good and evil", this sentence touched her the most, all along, the forsaken have been labeled as evil and filthy by most of the people in this world, regardless of whether the other party is guilty or not, those so-called messengers of the Holy Light can kill an innocent undead without hesitation, and they also call it beautifully: Purification, this kind of treatment, who can accept it?
If my words were spoken from an ordinary person's mouth, Sylvanas would be happy at best, but from the mouth of the "divine messenger", the meaning would be very different, this is a recognition, the most precious recognition in this world!
Although, in my opinion, that phrase that was just telling the truth had no special meaning at all......
"Calmed down?" I looked at each other's eyes and finally calmed down, so I smiled and said, "Isn't it okay to discuss business?" ”
An imperceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across Sylvanas' face, and she nodded.
"In fact, we have come to this remote world realm this time to destroy a rather dangerous force force, which has destroyed tens of thousands of world realms that are more powerful than Azeroth, if we don't stop it, I am afraid that one day, all living beings will be destroyed by this power force, and yours are also in the erosion of this power - the Burning Legion, those demons are the distorted races produced under the influence of this power, and now, as this power becomes more and more powerful, The demon race is also undergoing changes that you cannot imagine......"
I will give a general account of the mutant demon squads that have appeared frequently in various parts of the world world recently and the reasons why they are affected by the abyssal power and mutations, of course, there are some things that are not suitable for public announcement, such as how terrifying the abyssal power can be - such a thing is not something that the natives of Azeroth can deal with at all, and speaking out about it will only increase Sylvanas's worries.
Knowing such a grim situation, Sylvanas was calmer than I expected, perhaps accustomed to similar situations in this devastated world, she was not at all frightened by the fact that the Burning Legion was already stronger and would make a comeback at any time, but asked calmly: "In other words, you and your army have come to this world to destroy the Burning Legion and the kind of demon race that is behind the creation of the ...... How much power is the abyss? ”
"That's right, it is our mission to destroy the power of the Abyss, but the Abyss of this world is more powerful than we expected, and even the Apostles' army will not be able to fight against those increasingly powerful demons without more reinforcements, so we are going to organize an even stronger legion, a powerful coalition that will unite all of Azeroth against the Burning Legion, and we have sent emissaries to every intelligent race in the entire Azeroth at the same time that meets the standards, just like the two of us who came to you- The angel feather you saw just now is our token, not only to prove our identity, but also to join this Salvation Army, if you agree to join, I will lift the seal on the feather. ”
I took the big feather from the inner edge of Alayya's wings from Anvina's hand, and the image of the angel sister's tears flashed in my heart again...... Grace, high work and hard work......
"I'm willing to join," Sylvanas agreed more than I had imagined, saving me a lot of tongue-in-cheek, "It's not a one-and-a-two settlement between us and the Burning Legion, but I'll have to ask my people for advice on this matter, after all, joining the Salvation Army means we're going to have to fight alongside those paladins and the like - even for me, it's a difficult decision to make, I hope you understand." ”
"Of course I can understand, your deep understanding of righteousness has surprised me a lot, it took me a lot of effort to persuade a paladin to accept an undead ally in the first place, I didn't expect you to agree so happily."
"Hatred and strife...... I'm tired of it, the Forsaken are the undead, not the Wraith, and if it weren't for the blind hatred of humanity, we wouldn't want to have so many ...... fighting."
Sylvanas said this, and there was a deep helplessness in his heart, no one likes war, especially after being forced to act as a tool of war for many years by the iron rule of the Lich King, although there are also undead who are extremely hateful to the living, there are also many forsaken people who just want to be able to live quietly and freely, even if it is revenge, they just regard the Lich King and the Burning Legion behind the Lich King as the target of revenge, However, the blind suppression of them by humans and other races has forced these forsaken who could have been allies to rise up and resist......
This is only the Forsaken who have just become independent, and if this confrontation continues, I am afraid that the entire Forsaken race will completely become an avenger who hates all living beings, and that is not Sylvanas's original intention.
I also think about this, a long-term confrontation will change the mentality of a race as a whole, for the time being, it seems that the Forsaken's hatred of living beings is not as serious as I imagined, at least it is much lighter than the hatred of humans towards them, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the conflict between the Forsaken and the human will really be as irreparable as in the game......
"We will correct this mistake," I said, looking at the thoughtful Sylvanas, "and joining the Salvation Army is also an opportunity, and perhaps in the process of uniting against the Burning Legion, the Forsaken will gradually be accepted by the other races, if there are still some races who are obsessed...... I'm afraid we're really going to have to exercise some divine authority! ”
I believe that this is definitely a tempting guarantee, that no one wants to be an enemy of the entire world forever unless they are insane, and that there is no reason for Sylvanas to give up a chance to live on an equal footing with all races.
